After they discussed it and reached an agreement, they all went their separate ways.
Yuan Shitou and Fan Tiesheng will go to the village chief first thing tomorrow morning to get a certificate and borrow an oxcart.
We'll need two oxcarts to go down the mountain this time.
Although it's still uncertain whether we'll be able to buy food, it's essential to be prepared.
Xiao Xiao will definitely go too; her words to Uncle Lin are more effective than those of Yuan Shitou and the others.
So she has to go this time.
It's not that Uncle Lin was unwilling to help Yuan Shitou and the others.
The main issue is that there are many things that the two of them can't explain clearly.
Xiao Xiao didn't tell them either.
I'm afraid of making too much noise and attracting other people's attention.
If Xiaoxiao leaves, the child will definitely go hungry and have nothing to eat.
It's so hot outside, I'm afraid the milk will spoil if I just express it and leave it there.
That's a bit of a dilemma.
Yuan Shitou was worried that the baby wouldn't have enough milk, so he went up the mountain and caught a female goat.
But Yuan Gungun is picky and just won't drink it.
Fortunately, the baby still had enough milk, so we didn't worry about him.
Yuan Gungun has a large appetite, just like his father.
If they're not full, they'll whine and grumble incessantly.
If they were hungry and hadn't eaten, their crying would be so loud it seemed like it could lift the roof off.
Fan Tiesheng's two sons cry and make a fuss all the time.
He's the kind of person who doesn't cry or make a fuss much.
Whenever he lacked food and water, his pitiful cries could be heard throughout the village.
The sound was extremely loud and resonant.
Yuan's mother kept saying that this boy was even harder to raise than his father.
When Yuan Yuanshi was little, he also had a big appetite, but he didn't have any breast milk to drink.
He would go up the mountain to catch a female goat, milk it, and feed it to the goat, and the goat would eat it with relish.
This kid is so precious, he won't even drink goat's milk.
Some kids don't even have this to eat yet.
She said that, but she was also afraid that her precious grandson would go hungry.
I try all sorts of delicious food to make for my little one to help with milk production.
I'm worried that I won't have enough breast milk.
When Xiao Xiao had milk, she would express it, put it into a fresh bamboo tube, and then put it in water to chill.
We'll give it to the child then.
She didn't know when they would be back.
The next morning, when Yuan Gungun woke up, he was still sleeping soundly, just like a little pig.
He was woken up by his mother.
Another bout of wailing ensued.
When he tasted his delicious food, he immediately stopped crying.
They sucked on it greedily, as if it were some kind of heavenly delicacy.
After Xiaoxiao had fed the child, Yuan Shitou had already prepared everything.
They swaggered out of the village in their oxcart and met up with Fan Tiesheng at the village entrance.
Of course, Yuan Min was also in the car.
The villagers saw it and asked, "Little one, what's all that on your oxcart? It looks like there's a lot of stuff."
Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "We have too many rabbits at home, and they're always fighting. I'm thinking of taking some down the mountain to sell."
These women are not easy to deal with.
They then turned to Yuan Min and asked, "Minmin, do your rabbits fight too?"
Yuan Min also smiled and said, "Our family doesn't have as many rabbits as Xiao Xiao's family, so they don't fight as fiercely."
"Since we weren't planning on having Xiaoxiao and the others sell their wares, we decided to go along on the way."
"Then why are you covering me with a cloth? Are you afraid we'll see me?"
Xiao Xiao got out of the car and pretended to tidy up a covered area.
"The road was dusty and crowded."
"We can't just leave it out in the open, can we? These days, you can't just sell things openly and honestly."
While Xiao Xiao was tidying up the cloth, the women also saw the rabbit in the basket.
So he didn't ask any more questions.
Actually, Xiaoxiao deliberately placed those two rabbits there.
It was intentional that it wasn't covered.
Or was it deliberately built in front of them?
The purpose was to let them see the rabbits inside and dispel their concerns.
After that, no one said anything more.
Two oxcarts, one after the other, headed down the mountain.
The women behind them started gossiping again.
"If they use oxcarts to haul all these rabbits, how many rabbits will they have to carry?"
"I don't know how many there are, but I heard that Xiaoxiao's family has more than two thousand rabbits."
Fan Tiesheng's family also has more than 1,000.
"Sigh, how come they're so capable?"
Why are you raising so many rabbits?
We only have a few dozen animals, and we're already incredibly busy.
"You only see people taking rabbits to sell."
Didn't you see Yuan Shitou and Fan Tiesheng always carrying baskets and cutting grass whenever they had free time?
Who among you can do that?
And then there are Stone's mother and Grandma Yuan, who also cut grass every day.
"Yes, yes, I even saw that Yuan Ping'an was so young, yet he had to cut grass to feed the rabbits every day."
Why are other people's children so well-behaved?
That one in my family is an ancestor.
"They don't do any work, all they want is to eat well."
"My husband has ruined all the rabbits in our family."
"Going to mow the lawn? You're dreaming!"
Everyone chatted amongst themselves, sharing their family situations.
She complains about her own family members while also envying other people's families.
In short, you reap what you sow.
Then Xiaoxiao and the others arrived in town.
They piled all the baskets on the car together and also lifted the cloth.
If they continue like this, someone will definitely come to investigate.
Let's just set it up openly and honestly.
Let whoever wants to watch it watch it.
The more you try to hide it, the more suspicious it becomes.
That way, nobody will be curious anymore.
What's there to be curious about? It's obvious.
When we arrived at Uncle Lin's house, Uncle Lin had just returned.
They wanted the whole village to know that they had come down the mountain to sell rabbits.
That's why it came out relatively late.
It's probably close to noon now.
When Uncle Lin saw Xiao Xiao, his face broke into a wide smile.
"Little one! It's been so long since you came down the mountain, hasn't it?"
Your aunt is still asking you about it.
Look at how plump and healthy they are; it proves they're living a pretty good life.
Xiao Xiao was also very happy to chat with Uncle Lin.
The neighbors saw their small oxcart and knew they came from the countryside.
They all peeked through the crack in the door.
Want to know what these people are here for?
Even though there is food available, some families are still quite poor.
But there was no shortage of food; as long as you had money and a ticket, you could buy it.
So they were just watching the spectacle, without any other intentions.
Another point is that Uncle Lin has a good relationship with his neighbors.
Nobody had any bad intentions.
Xiao Xiao told them to wait outside, and she carried a bundle by herself and followed Uncle Lin into the house.
After all, the oxcarts outside still need someone to watch over them.
The bundle contained things I brought for Uncle Lin.
It contains dried wood ear mushrooms and other mushrooms.
Most importantly, there are also some monkey head mushrooms and white fungus.
Uncle Lin didn't stand on ceremony. He took the bundle and handed it to his young apprentice, telling him to take it to the back.
Judging from his small appearance, it seems like he needs to talk to someone.
And it's a big deal.
Things that cannot be known by others.
This made Uncle Lin's old heart start beating a little fast.
"Xiaoxiao, is there something you need Uncle Lin's help with?"
"Just tell me what's wrong, Uncle Lin is getting anxious watching you like this."
Is a tiny blink really that obvious?
