Chapter 129 Giving birth to a bunny

Unexpectedly, the two of them were absent for only two days, and most of the goods in Guangyin Shop were sold.

　　Fortunately, Zhao Nan and the others made a lot of new ones, so they filled up the vacancies on the shelves.

　　With Yu Hu helping in the shop, Jiang Zhu left first carrying the medicine box.

　　Today is the day for a follow-up consultation with Ye Xiaomei's mother-in-law Yang Huilan. After Jiang Zhu's treatment during this period, Yang Huilan's eyes have improved a lot. She can vaguely see a little shadow. It is estimated that by the Chinese New Year, she should be fine. can see.

　　Ye Anian and Yu Hu finished loading the goods together. Yu Hu showed him the account book. Ye Anian did not expect that he had made a lot of money, earning more than five taels of silver in two days.

　　"Sir, Mr. Wen came here yesterday," Yu Hu said.

　　Ye Annian looked through the account books and casually said, "But what's the matter?"

　　"It's nothing, it's just..." Yu Hu hesitated a little, and mid-sentence, he took out a stack of paper from the drawer and handed it to Ye Anyian.

　　"He went out for a trip and brought back a lot of business for us."

　　Ye Annian took it and took a look, only to find that it was a stack of Rubik's Cube orders. After calculating the total, there must be several hundred.

　　This was not something he and Yu Hu could accomplish alone.

　　Seeing him frowning and thinking, Yu Hu asked tentatively: "Big shopkeeper, should we recruit more people?"

　　We definitely have to recruit people, but we can't just go to the dental shop and buy them again.

　　Yu Hu was bought by him to look at the shop and be an apprentice. The other people he recruited must be specialized in making Rubik's cubes. It is best if they have done woodwork and have experience. They are definitely different from Yu Hu.

　　"Let's put this aside for now. I'll go back and discuss it with Jiang Zhu tonight." Ye Annian said, "Is there anything else?"

　　"Yes." Yu Hu took out another book carefully wrapped in soft cloth from the drawer.

　　When he opened it, he saw that it was the "Hundred Gods Book" that Ye Ansong tore up before.

　　"It was sent by a bookstore owner named Chen." Yu Hu said.

　　Ye Anyian stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the book cover and sighed. It seemed that he was going to be busy again.

　　The statue of Wenquxingjun that was promised to be carved for Feng Mingxu has just taken shape.

　　Fortunately, Boss Chen's book "Hundred Gods" is not in a hurry, he can draw it slowly.

　　Ye Annian spent the entire afternoon making jade carvings, while Yu Hu was doing the Rubik's Cube on the side.

　　When Jiang Zhu came back in the evening, the two of them drove the bullock cart back to the village. Ye Anian mentioned that Mr. Wen had brought in a lot of business.

　　"We have to recruit people," Jiang Zhu said. He didn't want Ye Anyian to be too tired. How could two people finish a few Rubik's Cubes?

　　"Since Mr. Wen is the one who brought you the business, why not ask him to help with the carpenter recruitment?"

　　This is an idea. Ye Anian nodded: "It is indeed easier with him coming forward. At worst, I will screen it again."

However, even if you find a carpenter to do it in batches, the assembly of the Rubik's Cube buckles is still a problem. It's more complicated. When he first taught Yu Hu, he taught it for two days.

　　If someone is not good at learning and makes the wrong buckle, it will become a quality problem in the hands of the buyer.

　　In the early stage, he and Yu Hu can assemble it together. If among the carpenters you recruit, there are smart ones who learn quickly, teach them. It doesn't have to be everyone, but there must be one or two people who can pretend.

　　At that time, you can let Yu Hu control the quality, and he will do the final inspection, which can save a lot of trouble.

　　While they were talking, the two people drove the bullock cart into the village, but they saw a thin figure standing under the big tree from a distance.

The bullock cart stopped at the gate of the fenced yard. Ye Annian took down the things in the cart in large and small packages. Jiang Zhu went to the cowshed to tie the cattle, and the figure swayed toward him cautiously.

　　The sky was getting a little dark now, and it wasn't until the figure approached that Ye Anyian saw clearly that the thin shadow turned out to be Ji Fangfang.

　　When Ye Anian saw her, his face turned cold, and he started to go into the yard to get his things.

　　"Brother Nian!"

　　Ji Fangfang quickly called him.

　　Ye Anyian had no choice but to stop and look back at her.

　　"I, I'm not here to see Dr. Jiang!" Ji Fangfang said quickly, "I'm here to see you."

　　Ye Annian knew that she must have come to ask about Ye Ansong, but his face was still calm and funny: "You are looking for me? Why are you looking for me?"

　　Ji Fangfang's face became even more embarrassed. Fortunately, it was getting dark and she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

　　"I want to ask about Ye Ansong. Brother Nian, is Ye Ansong really imprisoned?" Her eyes flickered in the darkness, staring at Ye Annian unblinkingly.

　　"Yes." Ye Anyian said calmly, "He was sentenced to three years."

　　Unexpectedly, after he said this, the light in Ji Fangfang's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she was about to fall to the ground as soon as her feet became weak.

　　Ye Annian was startled and reached out to give her a hand: "Are you okay?"

　　Ji Fangfang shook her head in despair, broke away from his hand, and staggered away.

　　Jiang Zhushuan came over and saw Ji Fangfang's leaving figure, and asked curiously: "Why is she here?"

　　"Ask me about Ye Ansong." Ye Annian stared at the thin back gradually disappearing into the darkness, wondering, "Why do I think she is quite sad."

　　"Maybe I really fell in love." Jiang Zhu didn't care, took the things from Ye Anyian's hand, and the two of them entered the yard together.

　　After all, the relationship between the two is like that, and it is normal to have feelings. The most important thing is that Ji Fangfang will not pester him again in the future.

　　Candlesticks have been lit in the main room, illuminating the whole room warmly and brightly.

　　Fu Zai squatted in front of the rabbit cage, and Ding Qiu sat on the bench nearby. The two children were so focused together that they didn't know what they were doing, and didn't even react when they came back.

　　"Fu Zai, Ding Qiu, what are you two doing?"

　　Ye Anyian was curious and leaned over to ask.

　　Unexpectedly, Fu Zai turned to him and made a silent gesture, and whispered: "Brother, Xuetuanzi seems to be giving birth to a baby rabbit. Please keep your voice down, don't scare it."

　　After hearing this, Ye Anyian covered his mouth in cooperation, squatted down gently, and gathered with the two children to watch.

　　I saw a pile of thick hay already piled up in the corner of the rabbit cage, and Xue Duanzi was nestling on the pile of hay, picking up the hair on his chest with his mouth.

　　Fu Zai looked a little worried and asked Ye Anyian: "Brother, what's wrong with it? Why is it pulling out its own hair?"

　　"The plucked hair is used to wadding the nest to keep it warm." Jiang Zhu also came over and squatted down next to Ye Anian, "This way if the weather is cold, the little rabbit will not freeze to death after birth."

"It's amazing." Fu Zai couldn't help but said.

　　After a while, Xuetuanzi suddenly stopped moving, his little nose shrugging.

　　Not long after, I saw little guys the size of a thumb, all red, rolling down into a nest made of hay and rabbit fur.

　　Snow Dumpling seemed to have noticed something, and went over to nibble on the little rabbit.

　　Fu Zai was startled: "How can it eat its own children?"

　　Jiang Zhu explained: "It is eating the afterbirth of the little rabbit, so that the little rabbit will be clean."

　　Fu Zai nodded as if he understood, and then started to read attentively.

　　Xue Tuanzi worked very hard, and soon the nest was filled with red and shiny little guys.

　　"Why don't they have any hair?" Fu Zai was surprised, "They feel like little mice."

　　"It takes about three days for a newborn rabbit to grow fur." ​​Ding Qiu replied.

　　"Yes," Jiang Zhu said patiently, "and hairless little rabbits are very afraid of the cold and need us to help them keep warm."

　　"How can I help?" Fu Zai was very curious. It turns out that there are so many things to pay attention to when taking care of a newborn rabbit.

　　"It's not too cold now, just put some cotton in their nests." Jiang Zhu said.

　　After a while, a bunch of small pink things were crowded into the nest, and Xuetuanzi suddenly kicked off his legs and lay down on the spot.

　　"It should be after giving birth." Jiang Zhu said.

　　"There are so many." Ye Annian couldn't help but said as he looked at the bunch of little guys crowded together.

　　Only then did he realize that rabbits could give birth to so many rabbits in one litter.

　　"How many are there?" Jiang Zhu raised his eyebrows.

　　Fu Zai started counting before he could say anything, and finally said: "Twelve of them! Snow dumplings are so awesome!"

　　"It's indeed quite a lot." Jiang Zhu stood up, "The rabbit that just gave birth consumes a lot of food. I'll go get it some food."

　　Ye Annian also stood up: "Then I'll go find some cotton wool."

　　In order to allow Xue Duanzi to take care of the little rabbit with peace of mind, Jiang Zhu separated Xue Dumpling and Sesame Ball into separate cages.

　　Ye Annian and Fuzai started working together, laying soft hay and cotton wool in the new rabbit cage, and then moved the snow dumplings and twelve little rabbits over.

　　Jiang Zhu cleaned the rabbit cage just now, added some fresh grass and vegetable leaves to the sesame ball, and left the cage in the main room as before.

　　The cages of Snow Dumpling and the rabbits were moved to the east room where they lived, so they could be taken care of more easily.

　　After settling in, the four of them entered the east room together.

　　The room was not big, so four people gathered in front of the cage and blocked the door.

　　Copper Coin, who wanted to join in the fun, saw this and groaned on the doorstep, but no one paid attention to it.

　　Tongqian groaned for a while and then gave up. He turned back to the main room with his head drooped and lay down next to the cage of the sesame ball.

The two unattended people got together and glared at each other.

　　In the house, Jiang Zhu wiped off the water on the washed vegetable leaves, carrots and corn kernels with a cloth, then put them into small bowls and put them in the cage. However, at this time, the snow dumplings were not strong enough to get up and eat.

　　Seeing the two children happily guarding the cage, Ye Anyian got two small stools for them to sit on, and then went out to cook with Jiang Zhu.

　　In the main room, Jiang Zhu cut a piece of tofu into thin and even slices.

　　"What's for dinner?" Ye Anyian walked over and asked him.

　　Jiang Zhu picked up a piece of tofu and stuffed it into Ye Anyian's mouth: "How about the cabbage and tofu pot?"

　　"Okay." Ye Anian responded while chewing tofu.

　　The unseasoned tofu has no taste at all, but as you chew it, you feel a strong bean flavor.

　　"Can I help you with anything?" Ye Anyian asked.

　　Jiang Zhu brought the washed cabbage to him: "Then help me chop the cabbage, and I'll steam the rice."

　　The two of them got busy separately, and soon the food was ready.

　　A table full of cabbage and tofu stew, fried bean sprouts, tomato scrambled eggs, cold pork liver, and brown rice.

　　Ye Anyian set the dishes and chopsticks and called the two children out to eat.

　　Jiang Zhu came out with two bowls of lactose pills: "Come on, come on, it's time to eat!"

　　As soon as I put down the bowl, there was a knock on the fence door outside.

　　"Brother Nian! Doctor Jiang!"

　　"Open the door! I...I have something urgent!"

　　This sound...

　　Ye Annian glanced at Jiang Zhu, who seemed to be Aunt Tianhua.

　　She shouted anxiously, sounding like something was urgent.

　　Ye Anyian put down the bowl and chopsticks and stood up. Jiang Zhu let the two children eat first and went out to open the door with Ye Anyian.

　　The fence door came, and Tian Dahua was standing outside the door anxiously.

　　When Tongqian saw her, he bared his teeth and howled.

　　But Tian Dahua seemed not to hear it and said to the two of them: "Fangfang... Fangfang is missing!"

　　"Someone saw her coming to your house just now? Do you know where she went?"
