Having dodged Sun Laoda's powerful slap, Sun Laosan ran a few meters away and said, "Brother, why don't you see what we have at home and trade it for two little rabbits? We can raise them ourselves. Once they're grown up, our son can eat rabbit meat. Otherwise, we won't have any meat at all, and Meizi can't even provide enough milk for our son."
Then let's see where you go to cry!
Old Sun thought it made sense. After wandering around the yard a few times, he put on a tattered coat and went outside.
"There's hope! Hahaha!" Sun Laosan laughed heartily. Suddenly, Sun Laoer appeared and reminded him, "Winter's coming soon, raising rabbits? What will you use to raise them?"
"That's easy. Let's plant more Chinese cabbages. Then let Xiaohu cut more grass and store it up for winter feeding."
I refuse to believe it!
Second brother, you wouldn't want our son to live a life of luxury, would you?
Sun Lao Er glared at the other party but didn't say anything.
...
Sun Laoda was indeed from Feng Ran's family.
Based on his previous experience exchanging seeds with Feng Ran's family, Boss Sun knew that Feng Ran's family was a decent family.
"Want to change the rabbit?"
"Hmm. I don't know if it's convenient."
Feng Ran looked Sun Laoda up and down a few times; this family had indeed been behaving themselves lately.
"What do you need a rabbit for?"
As Feng Ran trimmed the withered leaves from the flowers in the yard, she asked.
“I want to raise it at home. We’re expecting a baby soon. There’s no meat or fish in the dead of winter, and the baby probably won’t have any milk.”
"I don't have any. You can ask other people."
“I’m afraid that if I ask, I won’t get any results, so I might as well come directly to you.”
I just need two baby rabbits in return. One male and one female will do.
You can ask us to do any kind of labor in exchange.
"...As you can see, the wall around my house is actually quite flimsy..."
"Okay! I'll prepare the materials tomorrow and come help reinforce the wall! It's just that we don't have cement right now, so we might have to use wood."
"Okay. Reinforce and raise the walls on all sides; I want more privacy in the yard."
"Can."
Feng Ran looked at the man and carefully examined him for a few moments.
"What should I call you?"
"Just call me Boss Sun. The other four are my brothers."
"Well. My point is, if you want to stay in this village, that's fine with me."
Anyway, we weren't originally from this village.
Everyone lives in their own place. Each person lives in their own separate place.
Peace and tranquility prevail, and everyone can live a good life.
And just like when you came to see me today, I'll try my best to help.
But today, I still want to remind you once again.
Remember to keep everyone in your household in check. After all, surviving this far from the apocalypse isn't easy.
"……good."
"Yes, building this wall around my house was quite a project."
The front and back yards together are over 300 square meters. Try to expand it a bit more in all directions. Level up any uneven areas.
"Dig some more flower beds around the perimeter of the yard. Make it look nicer."
"OK."
I won't take advantage of you.
If things go well, not only will we have two rabbits, but our families will also be hatching another batch of chickens, ducks, and geese soon. I'll give you five of each kind.
"real!?"
"My home is right here, would I lie to you?"
"Deal! I'll bring a few of my brothers over tomorrow to help you build the fence. I guarantee it will be reinforced and heightened, and we'll do a great job!"
It should be finished in less than a week.
"Um."
After the man left, Feng Nangui, who was playing with two children nearby, couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Feng Ran like this.
"What are you laughing at?"
"You're getting better and better at conning people."
"How could that be! I'm just helping him find a new job."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Feng Nangui finally couldn't help but burst into a hearty laugh.
"..."
The wind made his old face blush.
There was no way around it; Feng Nangui's handsome face broke into a wide laugh, which was both incongruous and undeniably handsome!
Four men and Sun Xiaohu arrived the next day. Sun Lao Er, however, did not come.
The men brought four large trees with them.
Moreover, they used the included axe to chop the trees into the thick logs they needed.
It's about two meters high. It's been expanded a bit beyond the old fence around the yard.
Feng Ran didn't shut them down.
They were left to work around the area every day.
Sun Xiaohu obediently followed behind the men, carrying things. He was no longer the same person he was when they first met.
For six consecutive days, the group arrived early each morning, Zhang Mei would bring them lunch, and they would leave after dark.
The fence was indeed sturdy, mainly because Fengran provided many thick and long iron nails.
After being surprised to see the nails she took out, Boss Sun didn't ask anything.
...
"Here are the two rabbits you agreed on. The chickens, ducks, and geese haven't hatched yet. Come back for them when they do."
"good."
The man didn't say much, and left with the two rabbits.
...
The Sun family.
"Brother, what if they don't give us any more chicks?" Sun Laosi said unhappily.
"Look at you, so full of yourself. That's where her family lives. What are you afraid of?"
Besides, chicks don't just hatch whenever you want. Doesn't it take time?
"snort!"
"Alright. Get the rabbit cages ready. Now we need to start preparing hay and winter supplies."
Keep the house warm, and prepare food for winter. Also, things the children will need. Everyone needs to be on their toes!
I saw a lot of wild vegetables while I was cutting firewood in the mountains these past few days. Everyone should store and dry them to eat in the winter.
There's a big river behind the village, and lots of reeds grow along its banks. We're going to cut them down in the next few days. They'll keep us warm in the winter and can also be used as dry hay.
"Brother... let's go now."
"Um?"
It was already past four in the afternoon. Old Master Sun was a little confused; when did his younger brother start working so hard?
“I just came from over there. The families living in the village have already started cutting reeds.”
Why didn't you say so sooner?!
"I...I don't know what we need!"
"...Fifth brother is home. The rest of you grab your tools and we'll go right now!"
Old Master Sun was worried that if he went any later, there wouldn't be any left!
When the Sun brothers rushed to the riverbank, Wang Xiaosi and his friends had already cut down several large piles of reeds.
Because it was already autumn, the reeds grew very lushly.
They are tall and dense, with heights exceeding two meters.
"Why are they here?" Wang Xiaosi said with dissatisfaction.
"You cut your own. Don't worry about others."
"A shrewd scholar!" Wang Xiaosi said disdainfully.
"Alright. Hurry up and chop. If we don't chop more now, we'll have to go to even farther places to search after they've finished," Wang San San reminded them.
Wang Xiaosi spat and worked even harder!
Boss Sun called to the few men he had brought with him and led them to a less crowded area in the reeds. He didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble.
He also told everyone to take out their knives and cut as many reeds as possible as possible, and that even if they didn't sleep tonight, they should cut the amount of reeds they needed for their homes.
