"The ducks are still playing in the stream and foraging for food; they won't be back until dark," Zhao Guihua said with a light laugh.
"Woof, woof." Little Gray and Little Black wagged their tails and followed behind Star. Wherever Star went, the two puppies followed.
Oh no, the two puppies have grown a lot now, almost big dogs.
"Little Gray and Little Black are still the best. They play with me as soon as I come back." Xingxing pouted. The puppy is cute even when it grows up.
Ru Ru stood to the side, staring wide-eyed at Little Gray and Little Black. She hadn't seen them for two months; they had grown so much!
"Little Gray and Little Black are growing up so fast, why are we still so small?" Ruru looked at Xingxing in confusion.
Xingxing looked at her and thought for a while before saying, "Mother said that livestock and people are different. People live a long time, so it takes a long time for them to grow up. Livestock grow quickly but have short lifespans. Poultry also grow very quickly. When they grow up, we will have meat to eat."
Zhao Guihua thought to herself, "Did I really say that to Xingxing?"
Little did she know that Xingxing had figured out those things on her own. She would think about this question when she ate eggs, and she would also think about this question when she ate chicken and duck. Her family raised chickens and ducks, and after a while, when the chickens and ducks grew up, they could be killed and eaten. Xingxing liked to eat meat.
"Sifu, hurry up, let's go catch loaches." Zhou Erfu carried a bamboo cage, his sleeves and trouser legs rolled up high.
Zhou Sifu was dressed the same as him and was also carrying a bamboo cage. "We have eels too. Let's bring some back."
Seeing that they were about to leave, Xingxing immediately followed, "Second Brother, Fourth Brother, aren't you going to catch frogs?"
“We have to catch the frogs at night, don’t rush. Second Brother and Fourth Brother will go catch some loach and eel now, and we’ll fry them tonight.” Zhou Erfu raised his eyebrows and gave a frantic hint.
My mother only fries a little bit when my younger sister wants to eat fried food; otherwise, she has to be very careful with the lard at home.
“Great! Second brother, you and fourth brother should bring back more. Fry half of it and stew the other half,” Xingxing was overjoyed. She took Ruru’s hand and walked towards the door together. “Ruru and I want to go too.”
When Zhao Guihua saw her daughter about to go out, she originally wanted to call Dafu and the others to go with her so that they could keep an eye on the two little girls. But when she turned around, she saw Dafu and Sanfu reading books in the house, while Wufu was in the backyard doing something.
"Wufu, stop playing around and go follow Xingxing and Ruru. Keep an eye on them and don't let them play in the water."
Zhou Wufu quickly ran out from the backyard. "Okay, I'll go right now."
