"Sister-in-law, why do you ask everything?"
Li Erhong's face flushed red. Xu Qiuju beside her tutted, "Sister-in-law, can't you see? There's no one else in their home. When the lights are turned off at night, what else can they do if not have children?"
Tang Qiyue: ...
I almost forgot, there is no TV to kill time at this time. Everyone goes to bed early at night, and there is really nothing else for the couple to do together.
They are all women, and they are all married women, so they have fewer concerns about this topic.
Li Erhong was thin-skinned and could not compare with Xu Qiuju, who had already given birth to three children. She couldn't bear it immediately.
"Sister-in-law, these rabbits may be in heat soon. When they give birth, we won't have to worry about rabbit fur!"
After she said that, she ran away, not giving Xu Qiuju any chance to make fun of her.
Xu Qiuju laughed heartily in the background, pointing at Li Erhong's back and gossiping to Tang Qiyue: "Did you see that? They've been married for so long, and they're so shameless if they don't have a child!"
Tang Qiyue kept smiling. She had just been married for a short time and had no children yet, but she didn't need to be shy.
I was afraid that Xu Qiuju would not be able to handle it if I talked too much, so I changed the topic to the little rabbit on the ground.
"This couple will cost a lot of money. How should we calculate the payment for her?"
Tang Qiyue didn't want to owe anyone a favor, but Xu Qiuju waved her hand and said, "Don't give her any money. How many vegetable seedlings has she taken from your house recently? And the chili sauce and meat sauce you helped make. She really didn't know how to express her gratitude, so she got a pair of rabbits!"
After Xu Qiuju's reminder, Tang Qiyue realized that she was indeed taking these things too far, which easily made people feel indifferent.
It's just a pair of rabbits, although expensive, but if you count the money, it will be difficult for them to get along with each other in the future.
The main thing is that if you count the money of the things she made, they are more valuable than this pair of rabbits.
"All right!"
Tang Qiuyue let the matter go, thinking that she still had to build a rabbit hive for the two rabbits.
Rabbits can dig holes, but they cannot be raised like chickens and ducks. They still need a cage.
Xu Qiuju was also troubled by this problem. Fortunately, she took a look at the big tree on the other side of the valley and came up with an idea: "Keep it in a cage first. When Hu Peng and the others are not busy, go get some wood. With a wooden cage, we won't have to worry about it anymore!"
Tang Qiyue thought that this was the only way.
However, she didn't think of asking Hu Peng for help. Zhan Zeye was there, so she didn't want to trouble others with such a small matter.
Before they knew it, it was getting late. Xu Qiuju had to go back to make dinner as the two little ones had to come back from school to eat.
Tang Qiyue naturally had to cook as well. Since she no longer needed to hide the matter of the trading system from Zhan Zeye, she generously prepared a lot of food.
When Zhan Zeye came back, Tang Qiyue told him about the rabbit cage. Zhan Zeye said he would find a way and told Tang Qiyue not to worry.
"I remember rabbits are very fertile and can give birth to two or three litters a year. Are you sure you want to keep one?"
Zhan Zeye mentioned it, and Tang Qiyue was surprised.
She really didn't know how many puppies a rabbit could give birth to in a year or in a litter.
I asked Zhan Zeye out of curiosity, and after knowing the answer, I felt that with just a pair of rabbits, he could probably catch dozens of rabbits in a year.
Wouldn’t that mean we don’t have to worry about eating rabbit meat?
I was about to be happy, but then I remembered that rabbit meat is just protein, just like fish and shrimp. Eating too much will not make you fat, but will make you thin due to lack of protein.
In addition, rabbit meat tastes terrible if not handled properly, and requires heavy oil and strong flavor to be cooked.
I think only rabbit hair and rabbit skin are good things.
In any case, it’s a bit early to think about these things now. Let’s wait until the baby rabbits are born.
But when Zhan Zeye left, Tang Qiyue looked at the two rabbits eating wild grass in the cage and thought of the fertility pills she had given to Li Erhong before.
She only knew that the thing was very effective in the apocalypse, but vegetables that were inedible in the apocalypse can also be eaten in this era. She was afraid of problems, so she still had to experiment.
So she took out a fertility pill, grabbed the female rabbit and stuffed it into its mouth.
The points required for the fertility pill were too low, which led Tang Qiyue to doubt whether this thing would be ineffective. After all, Li Erhong showed no signs of pregnancy.
Staring at the rabbit that had just eaten the fertility pill, Tang Qiyue slapped her forehead and said, "Why am I so stupid? This fertility pill was developed for human reproduction. Rabbits are not humans!"
They are not of the same species, so there is no way it can be effective.
After figuring this out, Tang Qiuyue stopped paying attention to it, packed up her things, and prepared to go to the beach. Today happened to be a high tide, and she couldn't miss it.
Tang Qiuyue carried a tin bucket, changed into long rubber shoes, and then walked towards the beach.
On the way, I met Xu Qiuju, who had just sent her two children away, and the two of us walked towards the beach together.
The tide had not yet receded, so they were not in a hurry to go into the water. Instead, they were digging for crabs in the mangroves outside the beach.
Although it is not the beginning of autumn yet, the crabs are fat at this time.
There were already people from the fishing village looking for crabs. When they saw Tang Qiyue and Xu Qiuju, they called them over.
There are some skills to finding crabs. After listening carefully for a while, Tang Qiuyue basically mastered the method, but there was still a gap between theoretical knowledge and practice.
Although the number of crabs found was limited, Tang Qiyue and Xu Qiuju were not discouraged. Although they only harvested two or three, they happily said that this was not bad.
When the tide went out, everyone rushed to the beach.
The high tide can bring up good things from the deep sea. Everyone was very excited. Tang Qiyue and Xu Qiuju also picked up a lot of good things.
Tang Qiuyue focused on picking some stone vegetables and hair vegetables. These things can be dried to make soup, and even when they are fresh, they can be blanched and eaten cold.
Going to the beach is always fun, but of course it is also tiring.
Tang Qiyue and Xu Qiuju had a great harvest. Feeling the tide was rising, they didn't want to be greedy and just carried the buckets home.
However, as soon as Tang Qiuyue got home, she heard something strange. She put down the tin bucket, changed her rubber shoes, and then looked for the source of the sound.
It was not until she came to the rabbit hive and saw two rabbits stacked together that she realized what was going on with the strange noise.
It turned out that the two rabbits had started mating. She saw that the male rabbit was running away, but the female rabbit was chasing the male rabbit for pressure.
The whole scene was a little too funny, and she couldn't help but laugh.
She didn't know how long she had been looking at it. When Zhan Zeye came back and patted her on the shoulder, she realized that she had been looking at it for a long time.
"Why are you so happy?"
Zhan Zeye didn't know what was going on. He looked at the two rabbits in confusion, then at the strange smile on Tang Qiyue's face. He always felt that something was wrong.
"Oh, I forgot to cook. Why are you back?"
Tang Qiyue slapped her forehead. She was so busy watching the alternative courtship scenes in the animal world that she forgot the time. As a result, she didn't even notice Zhan Zeye coming back.
"There's something wrong with you. Could it be you..."
