Once the couple had agreed on the task, they started working on it in full swing.

Lu Quan would take time out every day to go to the mountain to clean up the house.

As the days passed, Li Ruzhen soon finished her confinement.

It was almost noon and Lu Quan had not returned yet. He said he had gone up the mountain early in the morning.

Li Ruzhen was waiting under the eaves holding the child. Aunt Li had already finished cooking and gone home. Chicken soup was still stewing on the stove. It would be ready when she came over in the afternoon.

After waiting for a long time and still seeing no sign of Lu Quan coming back, Li Ruzhen took the baby carrier, put the child on her chest, and prepared to go find Lu Quan.

Just then, someone knocked on the door. Li Ruzhen came out of the house in a hurry, but the person knocking on the door knocked twice and then pushed the door open and came in.

Li Ruzhen stepped out of the room, looked up, and her face suddenly turned ugly.

Feng Xu also stopped at the door, and for a moment, he didn't know where to put his feet.

"How did you come?"

It was difficult for Li Ruzhen to give Feng Xu a good face. He left as he pleased at first, and now comes as he pleases. Does he think this is an inn?

She finally figured it out. She had saved Feng Xu, but Feng Xu also taught her how to make a living. It was Feng Xu who taught her how to raise the rabbits in the yard.

It can be considered as a cancellation.

Thinking of this, Li Ruzhen's embarrassment faded, and she said indifferently, "What are you doing here? My boss is not here, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient to entertain you."

Feng Xu's expression froze, and after a while he looked at the child in Li Ruzhen's arms.

"Is this your child?"

Feng Xu walked towards Li Ruzhen.

I haven't seen it for more than a year, and judging from its appearance, it seems to be much more prosperous than when I was in Zhaojia Village.

Li Ruzhen frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with his insistence on coming in.

Soon Feng Xu walked under the eaves and stopped three or four steps away from Li Ruzhen.

Feng Xu stretched out his hand, "Can I hold the child?"

Li Ruzhen turned away with some resistance.

Just then, the child suddenly started crying.

Li Ruzhen immediately ignored Feng Xu, held the child and touched him, and sure enough, the child had urinated.

"The baby has peed, I have to go change the diaper, please do as you please!"

Li Ruzhen left Feng Xu in the yard, turned around and went into the house. After thinking for a while, she closed the door.

Feng Xu stood in the yard, looking at the house which had undergone a major transformation.

When he left, this was still a thatched hut, but now it has been built with bricks and it looks much more spacious.

There are still rabbits raised in the yard. A shed has been built and the rabbits are kept in cages, all kept in great order.

Everything here is clearly the same as before, but it also seems so unfamiliar. The other side of the yard is full of clothes hanging out to dry, for both adults and children. The clotheslines are full of clothes and diapers. It looks very warm, but it has nothing to do with me.

Li Ruzhen quickly changed the child's diaper and tied the child back to her body with the sling. She held the child in one hand and the diaper in the other, and placed the child in the wooden basin next to the well.

He walked past Feng Xu and ignored him.

It was at this time that Lu Quan came back and saw from afar that his door was open. He was puzzled, and when he got closer, he saw a man standing in his yard.

"you are?"

There was a carriage parked at the door, and Lu Quan stood at the door and asked.

Feng Xu heard the voice, turned around and looked Lu Quan up and down.

Seeing that Feng Xu did not answer, Lu Quan looked towards the yard and saw Li Ruzhen standing by the well, and walked towards Li Ruzhen.

The couple looked at each other, and Lu Quan roughly guessed the identity of the man in front of him.

He walked over to Li Ruzhen, saw the wooden basin full of diapers, scooped a bucket of water into it and soaked the diapers.

Then he stood up, looked at Feng Xu and said, "You are Ah Zhen's friend, right? Sit inside!"

Lu Quan generously invited Feng Xu to the main room.

The prepared food was placed on the table in the main room. It had been a while since it was cooked and was almost cold.

The three of them entered the main room, where there were only two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table.

Lu Quan said to Li Ruzhen, "You entertain the guests, I'll get it!"

"I'll go, you hold the baby."

Lu Quan had washed himself before coming down the mountain. He stood behind Li Ruzhen, helped her untie the baby's sling, and took the child from her.

The intimate actions and atmosphere between the two made Feng Xu seem out of place.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Feng Xu suddenly said, "No need, I have something else to do, I'll leave first."

After saying that, Feng Xu suddenly left in a hurry.

The couple looked at his back, then at each other.

Lu Quan carried the child, walked out and closed the door.

"Where were you going with the child just now?"

The baby sling in our house was given by Aunt Li. She took it out of the cupboard and it was originally used to carry the child in their family.

Aunt Li taught Li Ruzhen how to use it, but the child was still young and seldom went out, so she had not used it much.

When Lu Quan came back, he saw Li Ruzhen carrying the child on her back, a strange man standing in the yard, and a carriage parked at the door.

At that moment, my heart skipped a beat.

Lu Quan held the child and asked Li Ruzhen casually.

Li Ruzhen didn't think too much about it and said truthfully: "After Aunt Li prepared the meal, I waited for you but you didn't come back. I wanted to go to the mountain to see what was going on. There was no one at home, so I had to take the children with me."

Then he asked, "What were you doing in the mountains? Why did you come back so late today?"

Lu Quan felt relieved and hugged the child tightly. "Aren't we planning to raise more rabbits? I had already thought of a candidate. I met him in the mountains today, so we chatted a little more."

Li Ruzhen sat down, prepared the meal, and handed it to Lu Quan. "Who is it?"

The couple chatted as if no one had just been there and were not affected at all.

When they were lying in bed at night, and everyone was asleep, Lu Quan hugged Li Ruzhen from behind and said, "Wife, you two won't abandon me, will you?"

Lu Quan buried his head behind Li Ruzhen's neck and asked in a buzzing voice.

Li Ruzhen paused, slowly turned over and hugged Lu Quan.

"What are you thinking about? We are a family, where are we going?"

Li Ruzhen buried her head in Lu Quan's arms and rubbed her husband's chin with her head.

The couple hugged each other tightly.

Li Ruzhen's health has almost recovered, but she still hired Aunt Li to help with laundry, cooking, cleaning, and sometimes taking care of the children.

The monthly wage was raised to one or two taels of silver.

Because when the baby is three or four months old, he doesn't need to be held by his mother all the time, and the intervals between feedings can be longer.

With Aunt Li helping to take care of the child, Li Ruzhen also had time to help Lu Quan take care of the rabbits.

In two months, there were already four hundred rabbits in the house.
