The escape system takes me to dig for treasures
Chapter 388 The Life of the Young Couple
Li Ruzhen's family just gave birth to a child, and there is no elder in the family to help, so now Lu Quan has to take care of everything by himself.
Li Ruzhen was unable to get out of bed to work during her confinement period, and she also had to breastfeed her baby.
As soon as the baby was born, he needed to change his diaper every now and then. The house was full of diapers. Lu Quan had to wash diapers for the baby, and the two adults in the house had to feed him.
I can’t go hunting now, but I still have to support my family.
Someone has to feed and take care of the rabbits at home.
Lu Quan held on for two or three days alone, but he could not hold on any longer. After discussing it with Li Ruzhen, the couple agreed that they needed to ask for help.
After some discussion, we asked the lady next door to help us. She was responsible for cooking, washing clothes, washing the child's diapers, and helping to bathe the child.
The two men thought that if the old lady was capable, they would give her eight hundred coins a month.
I asked Aunt Li next door, and she agreed immediately after hearing it.
These are the chores she does at home on weekdays, but she doesn't get paid a penny. Her mother-in-law and daughter can help with the housework, and it's close to home.
After the two parties reached an agreement, Aunt Li started working that same day.
It is not certain how long this job can be completed, but it will take at least a month, until Li Ruzhen finishes her confinement.
The housework has finally been shared out, and Lu Quan can handle the rabbit raising work by himself.
Previously, Lu Quan and Li Ruzhen worked together, but now it's just a little harder.
But the good thing is that this job is for your own family, and you can go home to see your wife and children at any time.
Lu Quan packed up and took out the rabbits that were heavy enough one by one. There were about thirty of them in total, and he was going to send them to the Jiang family pig farm.
Before Lu Quan went into the house, he told Li Ruzhen something so that she wouldn't get lost.
Li Ruzhen is feeding her baby. A newborn baby needs to be fed every hour or so, which is quite tiring.
Even though she lies in bed all day, she has to wake up when the child wakes up, and she has to coax the child if he cries and wants to sleep.
It would be good if Lu Quan had some free time to help soothe the child.
After explaining everything to Li Ruzhen, Lu Quan left.
After washing a batch of diapers, Aunt Li hung them under the eaves. She watched Lu Quan go out, then walked in. Seeing Li Ruzhen finishing feeding the baby and coaxing the baby to sleep, she said to Li Ruzhen, "Babies who are just one or two months old need to be fed more frequently. When they are three or four months old, it will be better and they can sleep for at least two hours."
As he spoke, he helped take the child from Li Ruzhen's arms and started taking pictures of the child while holding him.
Children who are still young sleep a lot and fall asleep quickly.
Li Ruzhen listened and smiled.
Aunt Li placed the child next to Li Ruzhen and said, "Take a rest. I'll cook you a brown sugar poached egg."
This was what Lu Quan had instructed. There was nothing else good at home, but eggs were indispensable. There were five or six chickens at home, which could lay three or four eggs every day.
Because the hen can lay eggs, the plan to kill it and make chicken soup for Li Ruzhen had to be put on hold for the time being.
However, Lu Quan bought chickens from other families in the village and ate them with poached eggs with brown sugar in the morning and made chicken soup in the afternoon.
After a while, Aunt Li came in with a bowl and handed it to Li Ruzhen.
I feel that Li Ruzhen lost her parents when she was young. Although her grandparents are still alive in the village, it is as if they were not there. She suffered a lot in the past, but fortunately, now all the hardship has paid off.
The husband she has found now is quite considerate in everything. No matter how much the villagers didn't think highly of them before, now they envy Li Ruzhen.
Especially those aunts and uncles who have daughters at home, how many men in the village can treat their wives so well.
"You eat first, I'll go cook."
Aunt Li didn't stop for a moment. She cooked the brown sugar eggs and started to clean up and prepare lunch.
Li Ruzhen shouted, "Auntie, please stay and eat with us at noon!"
Not everyone's family is like Li Ruzhen's, eating three meals a day. If Aunt Li goes back to eat, the food will definitely not be as good as at Li Ruzhen's house.
But Aunt Li still refused.
"No need. The kids at home must have cooked my portion. It would be a waste if I don't go back and eat it."
Aunt Li said.
There were only two adults eating at home, so the meals were simple, with two dishes, one meat and one vegetable.
Li Ruzhen's family didn't have much else, but they had plenty of rabbit meat. They fried half of the meat from a rabbit, and also fried a small cabbage.
Li Ruzhen had to feed her child, so the dishes were all light in flavor.
Lu Quan was in a hurry to deliver the goods and came back quickly.
Just as Aunt Li finished cooking, Lu Quan came back.
It has been ten days since Li Ruzhen gave birth. She cannot work or be exposed to the wind, but getting up and walking around will help her recovery.
After seeing that the child was sleeping soundly, I went out to eat.
Li Ruzhen talked to Lu Quan about the rabbits at home.
"I sent thirty of them over. Now I still have about 120 of them at home, big and small."
Lu Quan said to Li Ruzhen.
There were actually more originally, and some of them were sold over the past few days.
One reason was that some rabbits would not grow meat no matter how long they were raised, and the other was that the wife in the family had given birth to a child. Lu Quan and Li Ruzhen discussed it and decided that it would be better to raise fewer rabbits, otherwise the smell would be too strong.
So I sold a batch and had more money on hand.
"I think we should raise the rabbits in the little house on the hill?"
Lu Quan said to Li Ruzhen.
Aunt Li cooked the meal and left. The couple were the only ones at home, so they took the opportunity to chat while they had some time alone.
Li Ruzhen asked with some concern: "Will it be unsafe to move to the mountain?"
It was fine for Lu Quan to take care of the rabbits during the day, but if no one was watching at night, they would be taken away without anyone noticing.
Lu Quan glanced at Li Ruzhen and said, "We still have a little too few rabbits now. I'm thinking of raising more and hiring someone to help when the time comes."
Last year, they were attacked by wild animals and there were floods. Later, they got married and had children, so they have always maintained a scale of only 200 rabbits.
But in fact, he could have raised more. Lu Quan thought that there might be a few more mouths to feed in a few years, so he wanted to work hard to earn more money.
Li Ruzhen saw that Lu Quan was so motivated, and what Lu Quan said was what she had thought about before.
So he said, "That's fine, but once we invest, our costs will go up, so we still have to think about it carefully. If there's no problem, we'll do it."
Lu Quan smiled and said, "Then I will go and reinforce the shed on the mountain in the next few days."
When the flood hit last year, a shed was built on the mountain specifically for the rabbits. It has been unused for more than half a year, and it was only used temporarily at the time, so it is not very sturdy.
Now that it is determined to be used for a long time, it naturally needs to be reinforced.
