...the next day.

"Four, Five, keep trying today!" After a delicious meal of rabbit meat, the kids were completely obsessed with it. The next day, on their way to work, they urged Four and Five one after another to catch another big fat rabbit.

"Woof woof woof~" Four and five rabbits, having tasted the sweetness of the reward and the encouragement of their little masters, ran like crazy on the mountain. The little ones were so satisfied that they had no interest in working anymore. They squatted in rows at the foot of the mountain, waiting, waiting, waiting, but they waited all day but the fat rabbit they had been longing for did not come.

For several days there were no big rabbits, and it started to rain. Four or five of them could not leave the house, so they lay at the door, listening to the sound of the rain and watching it fall.

A week later, the weather on Sanshi Island began to clear up. The six cats immediately started clamoring to catch a big rabbit. The fourth and fifth cats also shook their bodies and were ready to go. They couldn't wait to catch a fat rabbit and bring it back to their owners for praise.

"I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet..." Cheng Zhenzhu took out six small backpacks and six small hoes from the kitchen.

As soon as I saw these, I knew they were going to pick mushrooms and dig wild vegetables. It had just rained, so there must be a lot of mushrooms on the mountain...

"This one won't do, it's too small..." Liu Tiao was not interested in picking mushrooms this year. He put the small hoe in the small backpack and kept muttering "rabbit, big rabbit". It took him a long time to pick a few big mushrooms.

It's just small, not inedible, it's okay... Eight-eyed and quick-handed, he immediately picked up the small mushroom that Six-eyed disliked and put it into his backpack.

Seven also followed behind Six to pick up the leak.

Seven and eight newcomers really enjoyed picking mushrooms. However, they didn't know which ones were edible and which were not. After picking for a while, they each caught a brother to guide them.

Yitiao and Ertiao were quite patient, answering every question the two little brothers asked. If there's no rabbit meat, fried mushrooms are also good. Pick up a lot, and you'll eat them for a long time. You can also dry them and stew them with old hens. It's so delicious...

"Well, that's good. It's almost done. Let's go home. I'll fry some mushrooms for you..." The heavy rain this year produced a lot of mushrooms. Cheng Zhenzhu and the kids had a good harvest and also got a lot of wild vegetables and feathery star ferns.

She was planning to make a medicinal wine with the feather-splitting star fern. Her eldest sister in Hai City wrote to say her brother-in-law's boss had a great need for it. Also, Comrade Dawei wrote to say that after drinking sea snake wine, his legs felt much better. So she planned to make more at once...

After returning home with the children, Cheng Zhenzhu sorted the mushrooms she had picked. She would use the broken ones to make egg soup for lunch today, and the whole ones to fry. She would also dry the remaining ones and send them to Haishi...

"Mom, I want to eat rabbit meat~" Liu Tiao helped to choose mushrooms for a while, then went to his mother and talked about rabbit meat, and put his hands together and prayed, as if making a wish.
