Chapter 185 is really good, the children will definitely like it

Aunt Zhang bit into the locust flower cake and looked at the little rabbit with its eyes open in the cage and smiled: "This cake is just the right sweetness, even better than the sugar cake my husband bought."

She pointed at Snowball and said, "Look at this little guy. He just opened his eyes and went straight to the feeding trough. Just like the baby Yinyin is pregnant with, he's a greedy one."

Yun Tangyin's cheeks flushed slightly, and she reached out and gently touched the cage bars. Snowball immediately shrank back, then curiously stuck his head out, his little nose twitching, causing everyone to laugh.

Fu Yucheng gathered the chopped pine wood neatly, his military boots making shallow pits in the snow. "Aunt Zhang, tomorrow I'll go to the back mountain to cut some thicker wood and make a new stand for your sewing machine. This one is shaking a lot now."

Aunt Zhang quickly waved her hand: "Don't bother, my rack is still usable. You can save the wood to make a feeding trough for the rabbits."

Fu Yucheng insisted: "It's not a big deal. It can be done in half a day. You can step firmly and it will save you effort in sewing the cotton-padded jacket."

Zhou Desheng's wife cooked corn paste and served it to Yun Tangyin in a bowl: "Try it quickly. I added some brown sugar. It's good for pregnant women."

She poured half a bowl of paste into the cage, and the mother rabbit came over immediately, chewing quickly with her three-petal mouth. Snowball, Coal Ball and Flower Ball circled around the mother rabbit's paws, licking the scattered paste with their little tongues from time to time, like three little mice stealing food.

"In a few days, we can feed them porridge," Zhou Desheng's wife said with a smile, "then they can eat separately from the mother rabbits, so we don't have to fight over it all the time."

Mrs. Li folded the red velvet neatly. Suddenly, she remembered something and took out a small stuffed animal from her bag. "I made this little rabbit for the child. It looks exactly like Snowball. I spent three days embroidering it."

There is a small red bean on the doll's ear, which shines under the light.

Yun Tangyin took the doll and touched the fine stitching with her fingertips: "It's really beautiful, the child will definitely like it."

As it got dark, everyone said goodbye one after another.

Aunt Zhang carried the sewing machine and walked away, specifically reminding Fu Yucheng: "Don't go chopping wood too early tomorrow. Wait until the sun comes out and the snow melts a little. The mountain roads are slippery."

Zhou Desheng's wife carried an empty clay pot and said, "I'll come and help you make corn paste tomorrow morning. The female rabbit needs to drink it every day to produce milk."

Mrs. Li held the child, who was clutching the stuffed rabbit doll in his arms. "I'll keep the pink cloth and come back tomorrow to sew a smock for the child."

The yard returned to silence. Fu Yucheng added a piece of coal to the stove. The flames licked the bottom of the pot, making the New Year painting of Lian Nian You Yu on the wall more vivid.

Yun Tangyin sat on the edge of the kang, holding the rabbit doll in her hand, gently rocking it to comfort the baby in her belly: "Look, this is your little rabbit playmate. When you come out, you can play with Snowball and the others."

Fu Yucheng came over, hugged her from behind, and gently rubbed her belly with his palm: "I will finish the feeding trough tomorrow and add a small partition in the cage so that the little rabbits have room to run."

He stuffed a piece of rock candy into her mouth and said, "It moistens your throat. You must be tired from sorting out the threads with Sister Li today."

Yun Tangyin leaned in his arms, listening to the subtle sounds of the rabbit in the cage, and suddenly felt at ease: "With you here, I'm not tired at all."

In the middle of the night, Yun Tangyin was awakened by Snowball's cry. She got out of bed and put on her clothes. She saw Fu Yucheng squatting beside the cage, holding a thin carrot in his hand, teasing the little rabbit who had just opened its eyes.

Snowball stood on tiptoe, trying hard to reach the carrot, his bright black eyes full of eagerness.

"Why are you awake again?" Yun Tangyin put an old cotton-padded jacket on him, "Be careful not to catch a cold."

Fu Yucheng turned around and smiled: "I heard Snowball barking, so I wanted to come over and take a look. Look how clever he is. He begged for food as soon as he opened his eyes."

The two squatted beside the cage, watching the three little rabbits circling around the carrot, like three rolling little balls of fur.

The moonlight shines through the ice-flowered window, weaving a silver net on the ground. The rabbit in the cage has a soft luster on its fur in the moonlight.

"Wait until spring," Yun Tangyin said softly, "let's grow some vegetables in the yard specifically for the rabbits to eat, so we don't have to go to the back mountain to pick them all the time."

Fu Yucheng held her hand and said, "Okay, plant some more locust trees. You like the fragrance of locust flowers."

The next morning, Fu Yucheng went to the back mountain to chop wood after breakfast, while Yun Tangyin changed the cotton wool for the rabbit in the yard.

When Xiaolan came with half a bag of soybeans, she saw Yun Tangyin squatting beside the cage, carefully replacing the old cotton wool.

"Sister-in-law, let me help you!" Xiaolan put down the soybeans and immediately squatted over, holding the little rabbits gently in her small hands, afraid to hurt them. "Snowball is more energetic than yesterday. Look, it can even jump!"

Yun Tangyin stuffed a jujube bun into her hand and said, "Eat something to fill your stomach first. After we change the cotton wool, we'll feed soybeans to the rabbits."

Xiaolan bit her jujube bun, but her eyes were fixed on the snowball in her hand. The snowball rubbed against her palm and her little nose moved, making her laugh non-stop: "It seems to recognize me. It was hiding from me yesterday!"

When Zhou Desheng's wife came over with the corn paste, she saw Xiaolan playing with the little rabbits and couldn't help laughing: "Little Lan, be careful not to let them pee on your hands. The mother rabbit just gave birth, and the little rabbits haven't learned to hold their urine yet."

Xiaolan immediately put the snowball back into the cage and stuck out her tongue: "My mother said the same thing, I forgot!"

Zhou Desheng's wife poured corn paste into the cage, and the mother rabbit immediately came over. The little rabbits circled around her belly, and from time to time they nudged it with their little heads, as if they were acting coquettishly.

When Fu Yucheng came back carrying the wood, his military boots were covered with mud and snow, and on his shoulders was a thick pine log that still had the scent of fresh pine resin.

"This wood is enough to make two troughs," he put the wood in the yard and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "and it can also make a stand for the sewing machine, killing two birds with one stone."

Yun Tangyin handed him a bowl of warm water: "Drink some water quickly, take a break before chopping, don't get tired."

When Aunt Zhang came over with the sewing machine, she saw Fu Yucheng chopping pine wood and said quickly, "Don't chop yet. Sew the buttons on the little cotton-padded jacket first. You can let the child try it on tomorrow."

She placed the sewing machine in the yard, the blue cloth fluttering in her hands. "This button is from my grandson's small cotton-padded jacket. It's made of copper and is very sturdy."

Fu Yucheng put down the axe and helped Aunt Zhang hold the cloth: "Go slowly, don't prick your hands."

Xiaolan squatted beside the cage and fed soybeans to the little rabbits. Snowball ate the fastest, and his little mouth moved very fast, like a small millstone.

"Sister-in-law, look how deliciously Snowball is eating," she smiled. "He eats more than Coal Ball and Flower Ball. He'll definitely be the fattest in the future!"

Yun Tangyin walked over and touched Snowball's head. Snowball immediately rubbed her fingertips, his dark eyes full of dependence.

In the evening, the small cotton-padded jacket was finally sewn. Aunt Zhang unfolded the jacket. The wintersweets embroidered on the blue cloth looked particularly vivid, and the copper buttons shone under the light.

"Try it on for size," Aunt Zhang handed it to Yun Tangyin. "If it's too small, I'll adjust it tomorrow."

Yun Tangyin hugged the cotton-padded jacket in her arms, feeling warm in her heart: "It's just right, your craftsmanship is really good, it fits me better than I thought."

Fu Yucheng came over, looked at the cotton-padded jacket and smiled: "Our children will definitely look good in it. They will be more energetic than the fat babies in the New Year pictures."
