Chapter 251 Rabbit
Chu Hong argued with them: "We have raised the rooster for almost a year, and the rooster is most delicious at this time."
Secretary Song glared at her and said, "I still don't believe that a rooster can be bad to eat."
"Besides, we have to thank the New Year this year, so we can't miss the rooster."
Gu Ci looked at Chu Hong and said, "How about killing a rabbit? The big ones weigh seven or eight kilograms."
Chu Hong nodded immediately: "As long as it's meat, I'm not picky."
The eyes that were as bright as stars looked at him and smiled: "Comrade Gu, you are really an expert in breeding. Our family can eat and drink delicious food, but it is all thanks to you."
Although this statement was a bit exaggerated, no one in the Song family would refute it.
This is what happens when an unexpected opportunity arises and a forest of trees grows.
When Gu Ci bought the rabbit, he didn't really intend to eat it. He just wanted to make Chu Hong happy with the furry rabbit.
Who would have thought that rabbits were so easy to raise, with a litter of three or four, seven or eight, and they could give birth to one litter after another.
Later, the family members disliked the strong smell of rabbits, so they simply took them to a breeding farm. The rabbits had more space to roam freely, and grew faster.
Although more than ten rabbits died for various reasons, Gu Ci became more and more experienced in raising rabbits.
Such cute rabbits, they can eat one almost every month.
Chu Tong couldn't help but say, "I see there aren't many big rabbits over there anymore. It seems like the female rabbits are carrying their little rabbits, right?"
"There are also three big male rabbits, weighing about 5 or 6 kilograms." Gu Ci was also concerned about the rabbit pen: "Three months ago, I bought more than ten rabbits from outside, and now they weigh about 4 kilograms. There are also eight female rabbits."
"There are still forty-two rabbits, big and small, now?"
When he first went for training, he specifically asked the teachers. He had heard that inbred rabbits were prone to disease, so he went out and bought more than ten rabbits, mostly male rabbits.
Secretary Song reminded him: "Then you better be careful. If someone really pokes you, just let all the rabbits go."
Gu Ci responded, "Next spring, those female rabbits will give birth. How about we exchange chicken and duck eggs for two rabbits for each household in the village?"
No matter how careful the rabbits are, they cannot escape the eyes of those who are interested. Therefore, many people have agreed with him to exchange two rabbits when the time comes.
Gu Ci certainly couldn't refuse, so he made a deal with everyone that next spring, when the female rabbits gave birth, anyone who wanted to raise one could go and exchange them.
This way everyone gets a share and no one will feel unbalanced.
Secretary Song nodded: "Okay, you can make the decision over there."
Chu Dan also asked Gu Ci: "Second brother-in-law, have you learned how to tan rabbit skins? Where did the rabbit skins go?"
When Grandpa Song was young, he learned how to tan fur from his father so as not to waste the rabbit skins.
Gu Ci looked at Chu Hong: "Mom and you guys are afraid of the cold, I asked Grandma Jin and the others to help make a vest for you all."
If his sister-in-law hadn't brought this up, he would have wanted to give Chu Hong a surprise, as a New Year's gift.
But now that Chu Dan mentioned rabbit skins, he couldn't just be perfunctory, lest they misunderstand that he had secretly given away the rabbit skins?
When Chu Hong heard this, her heart warmed.
She naturally realized that Gu Ci was really good to her.
Every month when I get paid, I give the rest to her except for the money I use to buy food.
That hundred dollars was really what they saved.
In addition, when the weather gets cold, he helps wash even my own clothes.
Sometimes she couldn't believe that she could meet such a good man.
Chu Hong smiled brightly: "Gu Ci, thank you, you are so kind to me. This is the best gift I have ever received."
She thought that she should let him know that she was very happy to receive the gift.
He will also be happy if you give him such a gift.
I will continue to work hard and perform well in the future.
Gu Ci's face was tinged with a faint blush, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up: "As long as you like it."
Seeing their affectionate looks, Chu Tong silently felt that their existence was a bit redundant.
But Chu Dan was not so conscious. Instead, he asked excitedly, "Those rabbit skins shouldn't be enough to make four vests, right?"
Gu Ci's eyes flickered, and he felt a little guilty: "Yes, six rabbit skins can make a vest, and now the rabbit skins are only enough to make three vests."
Chu Tong smiled and said, "Then let mom, Chu Hong and Chu Dan wear it first. They are afraid of the cold. I think my new cotton-padded jacket is very warm."
Chu Hong did not refuse, but said: "That's fine, by next winter, the rabbit skins we have saved can be used to make a rabbit fur vest for Big Sister and Xiao Yuer."
Before going to bed at night, Chu Hong comforted Chu Dan in various ways, saying that women should have self-respect and be strong, and should not compromise themselves for any man.
This is indeed what Chu Hong really thinks. Life is too short. If you treat yourself badly, why should you expect others to treat you well?
Anyway, Chu Hong herself is a person who does not want to be wronged, and she does not want to see her sister compromise and sacrifice everything for a man in the future.
She almost shook Chu Dan's shoulders to engrave the words into her mind.
That night, Gu Ci, who was alone in her empty room, did not sleep well.
After the two of them were together, he wished they could become conjoined twins.
I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be so picky. She insisted that my wife go with her. It's really too much.
On the other side, Song Dongzheng also woke up from his dream.
He didn't expect that he would be so bold as to do such a thing to Chu Dan in his dream. It was really wrong. She was just a little girl.
It’s too cold in winter, so he now sleeps with the Jiang family father and son.
Of course, he slept on one side and they, father and son, slept on the other.
I don’t know if it was because I woke up too early and it was still dark, or because the weather was bad today, but I couldn’t see the sunlight. I could only hear the rustling sound of the cold wind blowing on the narrow windows wrapped with film.
He couldn't help but sigh.
Jiang Mingche has also woken up. They have finally been able to take a few days off during the New Year.
You can't rest, but you can get up later.
Hearing Song Dongzheng sigh, he said, "It's too windy here. How about we plant some trees in front of and behind the house next spring?"
"It can block the sun in the summer and keep the house cooler."
"It can also block the wind in the winter, so it should be warmer."
Song Dongzheng responded: "Then plant jujube trees. I think the jujube trees in the back mountain grow fast."
"That's fine." Jiang Mingche also gossiped for a rare moment: "I heard that the thief from Secretary Song's house was caught yesterday."
Maybe it was because of his occupational disease, but he still felt puzzled: "Normally, people in the countryside would hide their money in jars and cans, or tuck them into corners. How come Secretary Song's family would just put so much money in a drawer?"
It was still in an unlocked drawer, and he felt something was wrong.
Song Dongzheng felt guilty when he heard this. He was glad that he didn't sleep with him. He pretended to be calm and said, "I heard that Chu Hong had hidden the money originally, and only took it out when she needed it."
