She bought two strawberries and put them into the little donkey's mouth.

"I gave you something delicious. You have to be the best friend of mine in the future. But I took great pains to bring you home."

I don't know if it understood or not. It blinked and snorted, and there was a green figure in its bright pupils.

After Zhou Laoer sharpened the sickle, he worked with his older brother and younger brothers to make a rain shield.

They have already made two flashings.

There were six or seven holes in each window, and the ground was covered with slices of bamboo.

The three of them divided the work, one person cut the bamboo strips, one person made a tripod, and when Zhou Laoer came over, he helped with some odd jobs.

The rain shield on Old Mrs. Zhou's window has been completed. Zhou Mingshu looked at it from below and found it to be quite sturdy. There was a tripod installed on each side, and three nails were nailed on top. Even if there was a strong wind or heavy rain, it would not fall apart easily.

She tied the little donkey into the donkey shed and took a look at its living environment. It was OK.

Because of its arrival, Old Mrs. Zhou was not idle. After dinner, she took Zhou Mingyuan and Zhou Minghua out to cut grass.

Donkeys are livestock that eat, so we need to prepare not only their daily food needs, but also their winter feed.

When winter comes, there is no fresh grass outside, and there is nothing to eat at home except straw, so we must prepare this fodder.

The next task was to stock up on feed for the little donkey.

Old Mrs. Zhou was not at home, and Zhou Mingqin's clothes were ready, so the three of them put on their backpacks and planned to go into the mountains to catch some crabs.

She was so greedy! Zhou Mingqin followed without much hesitation.

When they arrived at the same place as last time, the three of them threw off their straw sandals and ran straight into the stream.

The water here is crystal clear, and the sunlight shines through the tall trees, casting shadows that appear mottled as the river sways back and forth.

The three sisters first cooled off for a while, and then went into the water to catch crabs.

There is strength in numbers. In just a short while, they caught more than last time. Since everyone liked to eat them, they caught more.

Because the place was not far from the deep pit where they caught wild boars last time, the three of them carried their backpacks and went over to take a look.

I wanted to try my luck again and see if another wild boar would appear.

But the wish was not fulfilled.

Only a few days had passed since the wild boar was caught, but the situation in the Zhou family had already undergone tremendous changes.

It's really lamentable.

"Sisters, let's see if there are any wild vegetables and mushrooms around. We can pick some and cook some dishes at home."

"Yeah, okay. We're about to start harvesting wheat, so we don't have time to come out."

"Then let's dig some more."

The silver bell-like laughter spread among the mountains, startling a flock of birds from time to time.

They dug some wild onions, pinched some day lilies, and pulled some plantain shoots and water celery.

"Wow, this daylily is so fragrant."

In addition to some to pick and eat, Zhou Mingqi also pulled out a few flower buds with stems, intending to grow them in a vase.

"This daylily smells good, but you have to pick the stamens before eating it. Once these are removed, it won't smell as good when you cook it."

Zhou Mingqin had gained some experience as her family had eaten day lily many times before.

"We picked so many, we probably won't be able to eat them all."

"It's okay, just wash it and dry it in the sun, and then stew it with meat in the winter. It's delicious, haha."

"Sister, you are greedy for me again~" Zhou Mingqi said coquettishly.

Although we cook meat frequently at home recently, they never seem to get tired of it and they drool every time they think about it.

"We are having crabs for dinner tonight. Which is better, the meat or the crab?" Zhou Mingshu asked.

Zhou Mingqi thought for a moment and said, "They are all delicious. They are all delicious."

When the three sisters returned home, Old Mrs. Zhou had already returned home.

I have picked a lot of wild vegetables in the basket at hand.

"What did you three do?" Old Mrs. Zhou showed no emotion. The three sisters looked at each other and signaled their eldest sister Zhou Mingqin to speak.

"Grandma, we went to the mountains to pick some wild vegetables and caught some small crabs. We can have a snack tonight."

Through the gap, Old Mrs. Zhou could see the yellow and green things in the basket. Besides, the fragrance of the day lily was very strong, and she noticed it as soon as they entered the house.

"Yes, clean them up properly, pick off the stamens, save a handful for eating in the evening, and wash the rest and dry them in the sun."

"Uh-huh."

Zhou Mingqin went to the kitchen to get a basin and a basket, and the three of them squatted obediently by the well to pick up the wild vegetables they had picked.

Knowing that they had done something wrong, they all behaved like quails.

Old Mrs. Zhou looked at her three granddaughters and raised the corners of her mouth.

"Grandma, the little chickens have grown up and are no longer good-looking."

No one knew what was painted on Zhou Minghua's face. He pouted like a little cat, and there were two blades of grass in his hands.

"Of course, then go feed the rabbits. Rabbits are cute." Old Mrs. Zhou coaxed.

She also couldn't hold down the heads of the chicks and ducklings to stop them from growing.

"But I want to feed the chicks."

Zhou Minghua curled her lips. She couldn't understand why the chick became ugly when it grew up, and she felt a little aggrieved.

"Then what should we do? The chick has to grow up too. If it doesn't, it will be taken away by the weasel. Can we wait until next year to hatch a chick to feed you?"

Old Mrs. Zhou pulled her granddaughter over and wiped her face with a wet towel.

When Zhou Minghua heard that he would have chicks, his mood quickly subsided and he suddenly became cheerful.

"Go play with your sisters, they pinch a lot of flowers."

Zhou Minghua dropped the grass in his hand and walked towards them.

"Wow, big sister, second sister, third sister, there are crabs."

The chubby little hands pointed at the basin with an incredible look on his face.

"Yes, I'll cook crabs for you tonight."

Zhou Mingqin took two day lilies and stuck them on her little pussy, making Zhou Minghua look particularly cute, like a toddler walking out of an oil painting.

"The flowers smell so good~hehe."

Zhou Minghua was no longer in the backyard, so Zhou Mingyuan ran back not long after staying there.

He fed the rabbit and then the donkey, but he really couldn't feed them anymore. These two guys were such big eaters that his arms were sore.

All the grass he dug up in the afternoon was eaten by the two guys, and there was not enough for them to eat.

"Oh my, look at the paint on his little face. Go wash it in the basin quickly. It's too dirty to be seen by others."

Seeing Zhou Mingyuan's grim look, Old Lady Zhou said something to him.

"Grandma, how come that little donkey is so hungry? It keeps eating without stopping. My arms are sore."

Zhou Mingyuan frowned and expressed his helplessness. He had originally planned to feed this big guy well, but who knew that he could not feed it enough no matter how much he fed it.

"Hahahaha~"

"Hahaha~"

Before Mrs. Zhou could say anything, the sisters in the family burst into laughter.
