Chapter 248 Rabbit Production
Old Lady Wan took out something wrapped in red cloth from her bosom with a smile, and after carefully opening it, a small and exquisite silver lock was revealed. She had specially selected this silver lock at the silver shop when she went to the county town last time, and it was engraved with four exquisite words "Long Life and a Hundred Years". The style of the silver lock was very delicate, and it was also matched with a red rope, and a small and cute string was tied underneath.
Old Lady Wan gently hung the small silver lock on the neck of Qiu's child, then held the baby in her arms, her face filled with joy and love. She looked at the little guy in her arms, and liked him more and more, and kept saying, "Oh, my dear grandson..."
Seeing this, Qiu was moved. She knew that Mrs. Wan was not short of money, but she had heard that when Mr. Wan got married, all the family savings were gone. Therefore, she was surprised to see that Mrs. Wan had prepared such an expensive gift.
Qiu said softly, "Mother, your gift is so precious." Old Mrs. Wan smiled and responded, "This is my first time being a grandmother, too. I'm so happy! Of course I have to choose the best for my eldest grandson!"
Hearing this, Qiu's worried heart suddenly calmed down. A long-lost family affection slowly flowed through her heart, making her feel the warmth of home. She said gratefully, "Thank you, mother."
Old Mrs. Wan smiled gently, her eyes once again falling on the little guy in her arms. She continued to tease him, and Xiao Fubao also stretched out his chubby hands and gently touched the baby's face, giggling from time to time, and the whole room was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Qiu now gets a lot of dividends from Wan Sansao's shop, and she also has a lot of private money. Wang Jiawei also gives her some good things from time to time. Qiu is not short of money now, but she always has a sense of crisis in her heart, because after several months of exile, Qiu knows that she can get things done whenever she has money, so she is now focused on making money.
"Mom, does Third Sister-in-law want to open another shop?" asked Qiu.
"I don't know about that. I think she is busy enough running one shop. How can she handle opening another one?" said Old Mrs. Wan.
"Mother, why do you want to keep Third Sister-in-law busy? Are you planning to keep her tied to the shop forever? Which restaurant in the capital doesn't have many shops opened in various places? Only in this way can the business be expanded." Qiu said.
Old Mrs. Wan also thought about hiring someone to let Sister Wan San take a break, but how would their family know about this?
"We are all peasants, how can we do business? We don't have any backing to expand the business, and we will be suppressed by others, and maybe even lose our lives! It is better for us to keep the shop and live a good life. I will be satisfied with this. As long as my family is safe and sound, with enough food and clothing, and my children are promising, that's enough." Old Mrs. Wan said with a worried look on her face.
After hearing this, Qiu's heart tightened, but she soon regained her composure: "Mother, although what you said is true, we are no longer the exiles we once were.
Now we have our own shop and connections, and have accumulated a certain amount of experience, which is our confidence.
As long as we can seize the opportunity and keep working hard, even if we don't think about ourselves, we should think about our children and grandchildren, right? Besides, I think my fourth brother is very smart. If he is allowed to manage the new shop, he will definitely do a good job. As for the background..."
At this point, Qiu paused, and then continued: "In fact, we don't have to rely on others, we can cultivate talents ourselves!"
Qiu did not agree with Mrs. Wan's idea, but she also understood it, so she expressed her own idea.
Old Lady Wan knew that her youngest son was smart, and in many things, his knowledge and abilities were better than those of the older ones. However, Old Lady Wan didn’t want to continue to struggle with the peaceful life she had finally waited for. She also hoped that her children and grandchildren would have a bright future and that the family would have continuous money, but this could only happen if one was born.
"Okay, let's talk about this later. I'm old now, and I can't control what you young people think. You guys should discuss it among yourselves."
Seeing that Old Lady Wan didn't want to talk about this, Qiu tactfully stopped talking about this topic. At this time, Liu and Wan's second wife also came forward to present their gifts.
Liu gave a small set of clothes, the workmanship was very careful and the style was also very beautiful.
The gift given by Wan Ersao was a small silver bracelet, which she and Old Lady Wan had picked out together that day.
Qiu knew that the fourth house's savings were not as much as the second house's. She accepted it with a smile and praised Liu's embroidery work.
After having lunch at Cheetah Sect, Old Lady Wan went home.
The pair of little rabbits that we once raised at home have now grown up.
What's even more surprising is that this pair of rabbits is actually a male and a female! And the female rabbit is about to give birth in the next two days.
When Wan Ersao heard the news, she was extremely excited.
She firmly believed that all this was the blessing brought by little Fubao.
At this time, Wan Ersao had an even bolder idea in her mind - she wanted to raise rabbits, and raise them on a large scale.
Qiu tried to persuade Mrs. Wan to stay a few more days, but Mrs. Wan politely declined on the grounds that she had too many livestock at home and no one to take care of them.
The family arrived at Shizi Village at dusk. The security in the village has improved a lot recently, and there has been no news of anyone's belongings being robbed or stolen in the surrounding villages. Old Mrs. Wan was a little puzzled by this sudden change, but she was still happy in her heart. At least she could feel more at ease when she went out.
When they got home, little Fubao couldn't wait to get out of the car and rushed straight to the rabbit hutch to see how his little rabbits were doing.
Soon, the excited cheers of little Fubao came from the front of the rabbit nest: "Mom, grandma, come quickly! The big rabbit has given birth to little rabbits! So many!"
Hearing Xiao Fubao's cry, Wan Ersao didn't even have time to take the package from the ox cart. She quickly turned around and ran towards home.
Following behind Wan Ersao were the three younger ones: Wan Jiang, Wan Xi and Wan Hu.
Several people lay down at the entrance of the rabbit nest and looked inside.
"Wow!" Little Fubao opened his eyes wide, looking at the furry little thing in front of him, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"What's the matter?" Wan Xi came over and asked.
"So...so cute!" little Fubao stammered, his face filled with excitement and joy.
I saw a few little guys who had not opened their eyes yet wriggling under the big rabbit. Their tiny bodies curled up into a ball, as soft as marshmallows, making people want to reach out and touch them.
They are covered with a thin layer of down and are a light pink in color.
Little Fubao couldn't wait to crawl into the rabbit nest and hold those cute little guys in his hands to observe them carefully, but he was discovered and stopped in time by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Mrs. Wan Er.
Wan Ersao quickly picked up her daughter, patted her back gently and consoled her: "My dear, these little rabbits are just born, their bodies are very fragile and need special care. We can't disturb them at will."
Little Fubao blinked, not understanding why he couldn't touch the little rabbit, so he started to act coquettishly to his mother: "Mom, I want the little rabbit, the little rabbit."
Wan Ersao patiently explained, "My daughter, these little rabbits were born not long ago. They are still too small and need to be kept warm. And they must stay with their mother so that they can get enough nutrition and protection. If you take them away from their mother, they may feel cold or uneasy, or even die. If that happens, will you be very sad?"
Xiao Fubao remembered the tragedy that had happened in the village before. She knew what death meant, so she immediately shook her head, indicating that she was unwilling to let the little rabbit die.
"No, Fubao doesn't want the little rabbits to die. They are so cute. Fubao wants them to grow up well." Little Fubao said firmly.
Hearing her daughter's answer, Wan Ersao smiled with relief. She gently stroked little Fubao's hair and praised: "My Fubao is so smart! That's right, we must let the little rabbits grow up healthily, and when they grow up, they can come out to play with you."
Little Fubao nodded. Although he was reluctant to leave, he still followed Wan Ersao back into the house obediently.
