Liu Xiaojun carried out some of the things he bought.

Liu Huizhen came out with a basket of vegetables. Seeing Liu Xiaojun carrying things home, she immediately put down the basket.

"Oh my, kid, why didn't you tell me you were coming back? Mommy has to move all these things for you."

Liu Huizhen was so happy to help carry more than 100 kilograms of cabbage home.

"Xiaojun, this winter is the best our family has had in the past decade or so. We have plenty of cabbage!"

"Mom will buy some tofu this afternoon and make some cabbage and tofu rolls!"

Liu Xiaojun: "Mom, don't bother cooking yet. Let Shazhu do it. I went to buy some fabric today. The weather is getting colder. Hurry up and make new cotton-padded jackets for you and Tangtang. Don't let yourselves get cold!"

"Okay, Mom got it." When Liu Huizhen heard this, she agreed without hesitation.

"Then I'll go talk to Sha Zhu and fill his and Yu Shui's old cotton-padded jackets with new ones."

Liu Xiaojun: "Okay, Mom, go ahead. We still have a lot of pig offal to cook. Let Sha Zhu make some spicy ones. I'll have some wine with him at noon to warm up."

Liu Huizhen: "If I tell him this, he'll definitely be happy. Okay, no problem."

Liu Huizhen picked up the vegetable basket again and walked towards Sha Zhu's house.

Liu Xiaojun moved the other things back home one by one.

Flashlights, fabrics, cakes, ABC rat candy, eggs, Daoxiangcun, Daqianmen, Maotai...

Keep the Daqianmen and Moutai, they are hard currency in this era and can be used as gifts.

As for the eggs, they were placed in the cupboard, ready for everyone in the family to eat one in the morning to supplement their nutrition.

Daoxiangcun's cakes and candies were served on plates and placed in the center of the black rectangular dining table.

After doing all this, Liu Xiaojun went to the rabbit hive at the door and counted the number of rabbits. There were 16 in total.

These rabbits were well taken care of by the rain. They were lively, able to jump and hop, without any signs of illness.

It's just that a few of the rabbits grow obviously faster than the others, and they don't get much exercise, so something seems wrong.

As he watched, Liu Xiaojun discovered that the stomachs of these rabbits were slightly bulging.

"Is this pregnancy?"

These rabbits are all gray wild rabbits with their ears standing up.

Liu Xiaojun reached out and twisted the neck of a rabbit, observing it carefully.

In the early stages of a rabbit's pregnancy, its abdomen will gradually bulge and its weight will increase.

The rabbit in my hand corresponds exactly to the symptoms of pregnancy.

The gestation period of a rabbit is short, usually about one month.

Different breeds of rabbits give birth to different numbers of pups during a pregnancy cycle.

Small rabbits are small in size, with limited space inside their bodies, and their litter size is also limited. Generally, there are 3-5 puppies in a litter.

Medium-sized rabbits are of normal size, similar to wild rabbits, and the number of puppies born per litter is about 6-8.

Large rabbits are those that weigh more than 10 kilograms when they grow up. This type of rabbit has a large space in its body and can support the development of more offspring, with 8-12 puppies per litter.

The rabbits raised by Liu Xiaojun are all wild rabbits, which are relatively standard medium-sized rabbits. One rabbit can give birth to about 6-8 puppies at a time.

There are three or four rabbits in the rabbit cage that are pregnant. If they give birth at once, we can harvest more than ten or twenty rabbits.

Liu Xiaojun's eyes lit up.

If I can raise these rabbits well, my family will never lack meat!

If we can keep raising them, when a famine comes and other people's families have nothing to eat, at least we can have rabbit meat to eat!

It's a good idea, but we need to consider a practical problem. Currently, the rabbit shed can only support a dozen rabbits. If there are more, the space will not be enough.

There is no extra space at home to keep rabbits!

It seems that I have to find a suitable rabbit hive before this litter of rabbits gives birth, so that I can at least raise thirty or forty rabbits at a time.

Looking at these rabbits, a blueprint emerged in Liu Xiaojun's mind.

The original intention was to stockpile enough food before the famine. If I opened a rabbit farm, I could make money continuously and use all the money I earned to stockpile supplies.

By then, we will have stockpiled enough supplies for three to five years.

No matter how scary it is, at least the whole family can get through it!

After changing the hay and water for the rabbits, Liu Xiaojun began to think about building a rabbit shed.

There are actually two empty rooms next to my house, and these two rooms are being stared at by countless pairs of eyes. Everyone wants them.

The family that wanted it the most was the Jia Zhang family. Qin Huairu from their family was pregnant. If she gave birth to a boy, they would have to settle down in the compound, so they would definitely need a room.

The second uncle has several sons, and his sons are also looking forward to getting married and living in the house.

Although Uncle Yi Zhonghai has no children, he treats Jia Dongxu as his son who will take care of him in his old age. For Jia Dongxu, he must fight for the house.

It is not easy to snatch a house from this group of people.

But it may not be impossible.

These houses in the courtyard are public property. The reason why people like the old man were allocated a house is because he is an eighth-level fitter and an excellent worker in the steel rolling mill.

The steel rolling mill is a state-owned enterprise. In order to ensure that workers can work with peace of mind, they will allocate housing to the workers these days.

Outstanding workers enjoy priority in housing allocation.

Furthermore, government officials and senior intellectuals are also entitled to housing allocations.

For example, rare talents such as professors working in some universities and factory doctors in steel mills can also enjoy priority in housing allocation.

If you want to get a room, you have to start with some of these things.
