Ancient Widow's Hard Survival

Cheng Ruyi, a ten-year corporate worker, died from overwork and transmigrated into the body of a widow in a small county town of the Great Yue Dynasty.

Her family is composed of the elderly a...

Chapter 34 Aquaculture Plan (Part Two)

No one was disappointed after hearing this; instead, they were filled with anticipation. Cheng Yan immediately pulled Cheng Yunping to select wood, planning to build a burrow for the rabbits in the front yard. After all, everyone knows that rabbits burrow, so it's necessary to choose sturdier wood, just in case.

Since there will be more and more rabbits in the future, we will need larger cages. The vegetable garden in the backyard has been expanding and there is really no room left. Moreover, two animals cannot share one yard. The two hens have been very agitated since the beginning, as if there are enemies trying to take their territory. So for the sake of harmony in this family, it is better to keep the rabbits in the front yard.

The cage was built very quickly, with a spacious and well-ventilated area. Ruyi even laid a thick burlap mat at the bottom, placed a bowl of water with added elixirs, and a plate of fresh, juicy vegetables raised with Spirit Nourishing Pills. This was practically a life of paradise.

The two rabbits looked rather thin and were quite timid. They spent most of their time huddled together for warmth in the corner of their cage, but their appetites were still quite good.

Girls generally have little resistance to fluffy little animals, let alone these two rabbits, which are spirit beasts from the cultivation world. Whether they taste good or not is currently unknown, but at least they look absolutely beautiful, especially their pitiful little eyes, which are very endearing. So, they successfully captured the hearts of the Cheng Yun'an and Cheng Yunle sisters in just two days.

The two sisters would check on the rabbits as soon as they woke up every morning, and they would always feed the rabbits before eating. They would also worry about whether the rabbits would be cold at night. They spent almost half of their time around the rabbits every day.

The two little rabbits seemed to sense the love of their sisters, and finally stopped hiding in the corner of the cage. They could even interact with the sisters occasionally, which made the two sisters very happy!

After observing for a few days, Ruyi discovered that the two girls took very good care of the rabbit, being meticulous, considerate, and thoughtful.

Actually, thinking about it, the two sisters have been stuck at home for so long and have hardly ever gone out to play. It's not bad to treat them like pets to pass the time.

"Yun'an and Yunle, I'm entrusting the little rabbit to your care. The little rabbit is very timid and easily frightened. It will take a lot of effort and love for it to live a healthy life. Can you do it?"

Upon hearing this, the two immediately nodded happily in agreement.

"Mommy, Mommy! I can, I can take good care of the bunny! I... I promise!" Little Yunle nodded so hard she almost fell over.

Cheng Ruyi carefully helped her youngest daughter up, pressed down on her still-nodding head, and said softly, "You have to listen to your older sister's arrangements. You can't do things on your own. If you don't understand something, come and ask us, okay?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I understand, Yunle understands!"

Looking at her youngest daughter's big, bright eyes and earnest expression, Ruyi was instantly charmed. She couldn't help but pinch her chubby little cheeks before turning to give her eldest daughter some instructions.

"Yun'an, I've always trusted you to get things done. These two rabbits will be our family's main source of meat in the future, so they're extremely important. I'm now entrusting the responsibility of taking care of them to you!"

Unlike Cheng Yunle, Cheng Yun'an remained calm, at least on the surface. "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely take very, very good care of Rabbit and Yunle!"

However, her bright eyes, upturned lips, and tone of voice all revealed her immense joy at that moment.

Although on the surface the rabbit was handed over to the two daughters to take care of, Cheng Ruyi was actually in charge of it in private, and she needed to add some food every day to maintain the rabbit's basic spiritual energy needs.

After dealing with the rabbit matter, Ruyi turned her attention to the system's sign-in gift pack.

Now that the government has started opening the granaries, everyone's food supply has been replenished. Ruyi thinks the plan to feed the neighbors can be suspended. After a month of feeding, the neighbors in the neighborhood seem to have changed a bit.

Especially when they went to the county government office to queue for grain that day, the contrast was quite obvious. The main difference was in their spirits. Although they were all thin, most of the people there looked unwell and listless, while the neighbors in their alley were clearly energetic and full of vigor.

With such a group of people as a foil, Ruyi and her friends didn't stand out much.

In fact, Cheng Ruyi and Xu Cui have both lost a lot of weight during this period. When they first transmigrated a few months ago, the original owner weighed about 120 pounds, while Xu Cui was shorter and fatter than Cheng Ruyi, weighing about 130 or 140 pounds. Now, both of them feel that their clothes are much looser and their bodies are lighter.

Although Ruyi didn't intentionally want to lose weight, being thinner, healthier, and more attractive is something few women would disagree with. Overall, it was a pleasant surprise, and she was quite satisfied with the result.

She plans to skip the gift packs for all her sign-ins this month. After all, she's figured out that the gift packs for the first, middle, and last ten days of each month are fixed. She still has Bigu Pills, Runmai Pills, and Yunling Pills left, enough for her family to use for a month. So she wants to skip the ten-day gift packs and see what the monthly gift packs contain.

Life went on as usual, and the weather got warmer day by day.

In the past few days, the two hens in the Cheng family have been laying three eggs a day, whether they were stimulated or they were really getting enough nutrition. In any case, the two hens have been laying three eggs a day, which is a total of six eggs a day!

Although six eggs are not enough for every member of the Cheng family to have one, at least everyone can have a little more, which is a good thing overall.

So the two hens once again became the darlings of the household.

Cheng Ruyi bought them to nourish her daughter-in-law Xiaoman, so Yunping was particularly concerned about these two chickens. He usually took care of them. Now, seeing how well the hens were doing, Yunping thought of his healthy wife and chubby son and felt even more satisfied.

"Mom, Grandpa, these two hens seem to have grown a bit. Is the chicken coop too small? Why don't we make it bigger so they can live more comfortably? Maybe they'll lay even more eggs!"

"Hmm, Yunping's suggestion is good, we can give it a try." Cheng Yan was also very satisfied with the two hens. Look at their shiny plumage and their powerful aura; even the fighting roosters outside are not as beautiful as his own.

He looked at the two hens and suddenly had a brilliant idea. "Ruyi, what do you think about giving these two hens names? I think this one has the most colorful feathers, so how about calling it Big Flower? But the other one doesn't have as many colors, so how about calling it Ah Yellow?"

Upon hearing the name, Cheng Ruyi couldn't help but facepalm. "If you hadn't said it was a chicken's name, I would have thought it was a dog's! ...This is a very good name; don't use it again next time!"
