Chapter 88 Peach Fuck
When I got home, I saw the gate to the yard was open.
Jiang Cuihua was feeding the rabbits inside, and while feeding she was muttering to herself why her daughter and her family had not returned yet. She was worried that something had happened.
Just as I was thinking, I heard some movement outside...
Jiang Cuihua ran out grabbing a carrot and suddenly saw her daughter and her family of three coming back.
"Oh my God, what have you been doing? Why are you back just now?" Jiang Cuihua hurried over, took Gu Yanyan from the lady, and said distressedly, "Please don't harm my grandson."
Finally returning home, Liu Yinyin was relieved: "Mom, is everything ok at home?"
Jiang Cuihua shook her head: "No, it's nothing, I just hope you are all okay, go inside and have a rest, you look tired, I'll take care of the kids for you."
"Thank you, mother." Liu Yinyin was indeed very tired, mainly because she felt uncomfortable and wanted to take a shower.
Someone helped take care of the child while Liu Yinyin went to boil water for a bath.
After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, I felt refreshed.
Liu Yinyin washed a peach, cut it in half, and gave it to Jiang Cuihua and Gu Yanyan.
The peaches we picked this time were all quite big, each weighing at least half a pound.
The one given to Gu Yanyan was the one without the core. The little guy grabbed half of the peach and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it with his little front teeth.
It was a pity that I didn’t eat much of the peach flesh after chewing it for a long time, but it didn’t stop the little guy from enjoying it.
Jiang Cuihua ate a peach and frowned as she muttered, "There's something I haven't told you yet. Your second sister-in-law is pregnant."
Liu Yinyin was slightly surprised: "...Are you sure?"
Before, Liu Ersao also said that she was pregnant once, but it turned out to be a big bummer in the end.
Jiang Cuihua didn't look as happy as last time: "I went to the county hospital for a checkup yesterday afternoon. This time I'm really pregnant."
Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Congratulations, mom."
No matter what, having a new baby in the family is a good thing.
Jiang Cuihua said worriedly, "Now I'm just hoping it will rain soon."
In previous years, my daughter-in-law's pregnancy would have been a great joy, but this year...
In a bad year, having more people in the family means more burden.
Besides, all the money in the family has been spent on buying food. Now the second son's wife is suddenly pregnant. If anything happens in the future, we will have no money to deal with emergencies.
Liu Yinyin could only say: "...it will get better."
What else can I do? I can't just abort the child.
At noon, Liu Yinyin steamed some steamed buns and picked four eggplants and a handful of water spinach from the vegetable garden.
I made one cold eggplant dish and one cold water spinach dish.
The weather was so hot that the kitchen was like a steamer and Liu Yinyin had no mood to cook.
Just have a simple meal at noon.
Liu Yinyin watered the yard frequently, and the vegetables in the yard grew, but they were smaller in size and looked a little underdeveloped.
However, it does not affect eating.
Liu Yinyin also planted a field of watermelons and a field of cantaloupes. She grew six watermelons and more than a dozen cantaloupes.
It’s not ripe yet, and it will probably take another month or so before we can eat it.
To prevent the melons from being damaged by the sun, Liu Yinyin covered them with a thick layer of straw.
After dinner, Gu Cheng went to work.
Liu Yinyin doesn't have to go to work during her holidays, she can just stay at home and take care of the children.
There is nothing to do on a day like this except staying at home.
Liu Yinyin was surprised to find that the system actually sold ice cubes at a reasonable price.
There was no one else at home, so she decisively bought two large ice cubes and put them in a basin in the house.
With ice cubes to cool down, the room is not so hot anymore.
The mother and son had a nice nap.
In the afternoon, Liu Yinyin moved the peaches in the basket into the house, half of the basket, and gave eight to Jiang Cuihua.
There were thirty-two left in the basket, eight of which I could eat.
As for the others, Liu Yinyin would be tanned into peach-shaped skin.
Wash the peaches, remove the pits and cut into pieces. Twenty-four peaches filled a large bowl.
Add sugar and marinate. After about an hour, steam it in a pot and then take it outside to dry.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yinyin finished steaming the peaches.
I moved a winnowing basket to the drying rack in the yard and spread the peaches on the winnowing basket to dry.
Just after finishing my work, I heard a knock on the door.
"Who?" Liu Yinyin asked.
"Comrade Liu, it's me."
Liu Yinyin: “…”
The only person in the village who called her comrade was Jiang Zhiqing.
Liu Yinyin walked up to open the door and asked directly: "Jiang Zhiqing, what's the matter?"
Life in the countryside was not easy. After several months of hard work, Jiang Zhiqing was no longer as pale as when he first arrived.
Jiang Zhiqing smiled gently: "Comrade Liu, can I borrow a few more pairs of breeding rabbits from you?"
Rabbits are easy to raise and reproduce quickly. Not surprisingly, he is now as enthusiastic about raising rabbits as he is about raising pigs.
Liu Yinyin was stunned for a moment: "...Can you raise this person by yourself?"
How many pairs do you want to borrow?
From the tone of his voice, it doesn't sound like he only wants to borrow one or two pairs.
Are you preparing to raise rabbits on a large scale?
Jiang Zhiqing nodded and said, "The village chief said that I don't have to work anymore and can just focus on raising rabbits. The village will still give me work points."
The weather was dry and Liu Changquan finally became anxious. It was obvious to the naked eye that there was no hope for the crops this year.
If the village can raise rabbits, it will be a way out.
The soil in the mountains is moister than that in the fields, but it's not so dry that you can't even find wild vegetables.
Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and asked him, "How many do you want to borrow?"
"Of course the more the better," said Jiang Zhiqing.
Okay, Liu Yinyin didn't want to raise too many rabbits, so it's not impossible to lend a few more to Jiang Zhiqing.
Anyway, just like before, if you want to borrow a rabbit, you have to pay a deposit. Since Jiang Zhiqing has money, she is happy to let others help raise the rabbit.
Everyone takes what they need.
Including the three rabbits brought back in the morning, there are a total of twenty-one rabbits in the house.
There are three female rabbits with cubs, so they cannot be lent out.
Liu Yinyin considered and said, "How about I lend you six female rabbits and four male rabbits?"
If there are exactly ten rabbits, they don't necessarily have to be borrowed in pairs.
After all...male rabbits don't need to give birth to babies, they just need to work harder and sow more seeds.
"Sure!" Jiang Zhiqing was more than happy to borrow ten rabbits at once.
Liu Yinyin gave him the cage and the rabbit, and asked curiously, "How is the rabbit you borrowed before?"
"That's good." Jiang Zhiqing was delighted when he mentioned this. "Both female rabbits are pregnant. I will return the rabbits I borrowed to you when they give birth."
Liu Yinyin smiled: "Don't worry."
I have to say that Jiang Zhiqing is quite capable. When he raises more rabbits in the future, he won't need to borrow breeding rabbits anymore.
Jiang Zhiqing gave Liu Yinyin five yuan and left with the rabbit cage.
Ten rabbits were lent out at once, leaving only eleven at home.
Liu Yinyinsi didn't feel bad at all, but next time someone came to borrow the rabbit, she would have to increase the deposit.
