Chapter 194 Tears Flowed from the Corners of the Mouth
It seems to be like this.
The fragrance drifted right under her nose. Baoya couldn't help it and ate the rabbit meat handed to her by Jingzhen in one bite. It tasted really good.
I don’t know how Nan Xuan made it, but the salty and fragrant taste has a hint of sweetness, combined with the spiciness of the chili pepper, making it so addictive once you start eating it.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Nan Xuan asked proudly. He was quite confident in his cooking skills.
"Hmph!" Spicy rabbit meat is very delicious, but Baoya just refuses to admit it.
This is the mother of the little rabbits. You can’t tell them that she is delicious, otherwise the little rabbits will be sad.
Seeing her awkward look, Jingzhen went to the kitchen to get four bowls, and put a few pieces of rabbit meat into the bowl in front of Baoya.
He said seriously, "Since you've already eaten..., you have to take responsibility for the little rabbits."
"Okay, then we'll go see the little rabbit later." Baoya nodded.
Since she ate the big rabbit, she had to take good care of the remaining five little rabbits for the big rabbit and would never let their deaths be in vain.
Thinking this way, she felt much more comfortable. She took the chopsticks handed to her by Jingzhen and ate half the pot in one breath.
Nan Xuan was stunned.
"Hey, some kids, who were crying just now, are eating more happily than anyone else. I don't know who they are."
Baoya was a child after all. After hearing his provocation, she immediately put down her chopsticks and retorted: "Nonsense, I'm very sad..."
However, as soon as she opened her mouth, tears began to flow from the corners of her mouth.
Nan Xuan:......
Jingzhen: ...
Yun Chenglu: ...
The three of them tacitly pretended not to see it, said nothing, and concentrated on eating the rabbit meat.
Otherwise, the little girl would probably cry.
A big pot of spicy rabbit meat was quickly eaten up by the four people. Nan Xuan knew that their greenhouse planting had not yet been established, so he let them continue.
He carried the wine jug and staggered off to drink and rest.
Baoya, Jingzhen, Yun Chenglu and I went to the valley along the bluestone path in the back mountain.
The cloth and bamboo strips they prepared last time were still on the big rock, and Jingzhen also brought the soaked beans.
Baoya looked at the beans in the big bowl, which had already sprouted little tender sprouts, and thought they were so cute, just like little round heads with pointed horns growing on them.
To plant beans, the first thing to do is to select the bean seeds, then soak the beans to germinate. After all these are done, it is time to turn the soil and prepare for planting.
Jingzhen and Yun Chenglu didn't need Baoya's help to turn the soil and make ridges. She just had to sit on a stone nearby and play with Guwang.
In the cold winter weather, two young men were turning the soil with hoes, sweating profusely. Soon they had turned the soil.
Baoya held the big bowl, and with her deft little hands she pinched out some bean seeds and scattered them on the ground.
Jingzhen followed behind her, used a hoe to scoop up the soil, buried the bean seeds, and then watered them thoroughly. Then he could wait for the beans to sprout.
With the two of them working together, the job was done quickly. After planting the beans, the next step was to set up the greenhouse.
Yun Chenglu followed Bao Ya's instructions, firmly inserting the bamboo sticks into the ground one by one, bending them into an arch shape, adding a few more bamboo sticks on both sides for reinforcement, and tied them up with strong hemp ropes.
After Yun Chenglu had set up the frame, Jing Zhen applied glue on it, and the three of them pasted the cloth on it together.
The greenhouse is about the height of an adult. Fortunately, Jingzhen and Yun Chenglu both know martial arts, so it is not difficult to set it up.
Because it was just a trial planting, the area of their farmland was not very large. It took them a whole afternoon to set up the greenhouse. Jingzhen was so considerate that he left a door at one end and made a door curtain with the remaining cloth.
By the time the three of them finished their work, it was already evening and the sun was slowly setting.
Baoya brushed the dirt off her hands and wiped her face with it, ending up with a face full of dirt.
Yun Chenglu laughed while holding the hoe, but Jingzhen stepped forward and wiped Baoya's face clean with his sleeve.
"Go back and water the fields once every seven or eight days." Yun Chenglu said.
Children from farming families are no strangers to planting beans, wheat, etc.
"Then let's go back and see the little rabbit." Baoya said.
She was still thinking about the litter of little rabbits.
"Yes," Jing Zhen responded, "They can already eat by themselves, you can feed them."
Baoya suddenly became happy: "That's great, I haven't fed the little rabbit yet!"
"It's okay. You haven't fed rabbits, but you have eaten rabbits." Yun Chenglu smiled.
"Second brother!" Baoya glared at him angrily.
Yun Chenglu scratched his head and immediately stopped laughing: "Don't be angry, Baoya, second brother was just joking."
Just kidding, Jingzhen's face turned black, he was afraid of being beaten.
When the three people and the wolf returned to the courtyard, Jingzhen took them upstairs and placed the little rabbit in his room.
He actually didn't like this kind of furry little thing, but he was afraid that Nan Xuan, who was so heartless, would really cook the little rabbit out of greed, so he had to keep it in his room and watch over it.
Jingzhen brought Baoya and Yun Chenglu into his room. Gu Wang followed with his tongue hanging out and his tail wagging, but was scared away by Jingzhen's look.
Jingzhen's room was still so neat and tidy, with a bamboo bed, wooden tables and chairs, and bookshelves. It was obvious that there were not many things in it.
"Brother Xiaojing, where is the little rabbit?" Baoya asked.
Jingzhen walked straight to the window.
Baoya was very curious. What was by the window? There was nothing on the windowsill except an empty flower pot. Where was the little rabbit?
Then, she saw Jingzhen take the large empty flowerpot down from the windowsill and gently place it on the ground.
When Baoya and Yun Chenglu looked over, they saw the five little rabbits huddled together in the flowerpot, sleeping soundly.
Baoya: ...
Yun Chenglu: ...
"Brother Jing, the little rabbit... doesn't seem to be kept in a flowerpot." Baoya said, looking at Jingzhen's expressionless face.
"I know." Jingzhen said.
"Then why are you still growing them in pots?" Yun Chenglu was speechless. He thought that compared to the unreliable Nan Xuan, Jing Zhen should be very reliable.
"I've laid out some hay and some soft cloth for them, so they won't be cold."
"But..." The little rabbit should be kept in a bamboo basket or cage or basket.
Baoya reached out and gently touched the soft fur of the little rabbit, wondering in her mind how to explain to her brother Xiaojing how to raise a little rabbit.
Then Jing Zhen said, "Well... I was kept in a basket before. But I was always circling around the basket, drooling, and Master was running back and forth to the bamboo basket too often."
Baoya: ...
Her white and tender little hands supported her chubby cheeks. She looked at Jingzhen with great understanding, then stretched out her little hand and patted his shoulder.
He said seriously, "Brother Xiaojing, thank you for your hard work."
