Zhao Denglong and Zhao Wanzi invited their maternal grandparents and uncle into their home.

The two women were experiencing mixed feelings, because they had never met their maternal grandparents since they could remember. They were also unsure whether the two people in front of them were their maternal grandparents.

But... I guess so?

These days, nobody's stupid enough to randomly claim relatives.

We'll have to wait until Mother returns to figure out the specific arrangements.

We had previously built four houses, which we thought was quite a lot.

But now more people have arrived, and there's no room left.

He Tiantian shared a room with Zhao Mingzhu, Zhao Denglong and Zhao Wanzi shared a room, and Zhao Xiaolan and Zhao Xiaolü shared a room.

The only remaining room was filled with rabbits.

Zhao Wanzi thought for a moment, "Sister, let's get the rabbit out and let Grandpa and Grandma move in."

Zhao Denglong nodded; there was no other way now.

Zhao Wanzi opened the room where the rabbits were kept. Inside were cages filled with many baby rabbits.

In this sweltering heat, rabbits definitely can't be left in the yard, or they'll surely die from the sunburn.

Zhao Wanzi suggested that they put the rabbit in the old house of the dilapidated temple first.

Although it's broken, it at least provides shade.

Finally, a young and strong man joined the family, and that man was He Shitou.

When Zhao Wanzi ordered her uncle to do chores, she was utterly ruthless.

"Uncle Stone, could you help me move the rabbit to the dilapidated temple next door? Make room for Grandpa and Grandma," Zhao Wanzi called out to the door.

He Shitou rolled up his sleeves, thinking that it was just moving rabbits, a simple and easy job.

But he was dumbfounded when he entered. There were so many of them, big and small... well, he couldn't do math and couldn't count them all...

There were so many that he couldn't take them all in.

He Shitou gritted his teeth and made a firm decision.

"Okay, leave it to me!" With that, He Shitou started working.

Stone Mother followed Zhao Lantern to fetch water and clean the house where the rabbit had lived. Bucket after bucket of water was brought up and poured on the ground to wash the house.

The stone was heartbroken to see this; my goodness, what a waste!

"Lantern, actually this room doesn't smell that bad, it's okay not to clean it," Stone Mother advised.

Zhao Denglong shook her head. "Mother said we should pay attention to hygiene. Wanzi cleans up the rabbit droppings very promptly and thoroughly, but there's still a bit of a smell." As she spoke, Zhao Denglong poured another bucket of water.

Fortunately, when the house was being built, my mother spent money to lay blue bricks underneath.

Otherwise, like ordinary muddy ground, it's impossible to wash it clean.

He Chun, on the other hand, was very observant and helped smash beans in the main room. When he arrived, he saw the well in the yard, and the water in the well was very clear.

It tasted sweet, and he drank a whole ladleful.

That felt so good!

It seems your family is doing well, but where is the rest of the family?

They were busy until sunset, and Zhao Denglong went to cook early, with Zhao Xiaolu following him to the kitchen to help.

Stone's mother packed all the luggage and other things. Since there was no extra bed in the house, she went and picked some straw to spread on the ground.

At night, if you put a sheet on top of the straw, the conditions are already quite good.

He Shitou carried the rabbits back and forth, probably making at least a hundred trips.

Although the place wasn't far, it still took a lot of physical exertion.

If it weren't for the unlimited water, he probably would have died.

After moving the last cage of rabbits, He Shitou sat down on the ground, exhausted.

"Maruko, why are you raising so many rabbits?"

Zhao Wanzi checked on the rabbits one by one and casually said, "There were originally only four, but they reproduced so many that over time there are now so many."

He Shitou nodded blankly.

Zhao Wanzi discovered that her uncle was strong and a bit simple-minded.

So she looked at him very seriously and said, "Uncle, tomorrow you and Sister Xiaolan will come with me to cut grass in the back mountain. These rabbits eat so much every day, we need to cut a lot of grass, and Sister Xiaolan and I can't carry it all."

He Shitou clicked his tongue and said, "Okay, okay."

Glug glug...

He Shitou's stomach growled appropriately. He quickly covered his stomach, his face turning red with embarrassment.

Zhao Wanzi didn't expose her, and pretended to glance outside casually.

"Sister, dinner should be ready soon. Let's go home and eat."

He Shitou jumped up, dusted off his bottom, and followed after him.

At He Tiantian's house, Sister-in-law Yulan had not yet taken her two children back.

Although relatives had come to visit, the adults in the family had not yet returned, and Sister-in-law Yulan was worried.

There are ten people in total, and the small dining table at home is simply not big enough for them all.

He Shitou held a bowl, picked up some vegetables, squatted on the threshold of the main room, and ate his rice with gusto.

It's so delicious! It even has meat and eggs.

Waaah... My sister's family is living such a wonderful life, why didn't he come sooner?

Feeling embarrassed by the room full of women, He Chun also took her bowl and went outside.

The remaining seats were all reserved for adults. The children could also reach for the food by leaning on the benches or standing next to them.

Stone Mother looked at the white rice in the bowl, and it tasted sweet in her mouth.

Her eyes welled up with tears, but afraid of embarrassing herself, she quickly wiped them away when the children weren't looking.

There were more dishes on the table than usual: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cucumber salad, a plate of stir-fried wild vegetables, a plate of braised pork, and a large pot of mushroom soup.
