I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life

After seeing off the master and servant with bulging bellies, the Xu family members went back to their work. Hunter Xu had a headache these days. The reason for the headache was a bit hateful, which was that there were too many rabbits and they could not keep them all.

Xu Congyi rarely visited the rabbit house since he put the rabbits in it. The two brothers were responsible for cutting grass, and Old Man Xu and Hunter Xu were the ones who fed the rabbits on weekdays. Therefore, Xu Congyi didn't know that the rabbit house was now "overcrowded with rabbits".

Hunter Xu was going to say it at lunch, but he put it aside because he had a guest at home. In the morning, when he went to the rabbit house to clean up the rabbit feces, he found that another pair of big rabbits had given birth to eight little rabbits. He was also very curious. A long time ago, his family also raised rabbits, and they only gave birth to three or five rabbits. How come the rabbits his daughter bought were so fertile, always giving birth to seven or eight. What Hunter Xu didn't know was that these were purebred rabbits bought in the space. The advantage was that they were easy to raise, not sick, and had strong reproductive ability.

"Yi Yi," said Xu the Hunter, calling Xu Cong Yi over. "What about the spicy rabbit you mentioned before? Are you planning to make it recently?"

Xu Congyi was a little surprised. Her father never made any requests for food. Sometimes her mother would tell her what dishes she wanted to eat, but her father never did.

"Daddy, do you want to eat? We can make it anytime!"

"No, no," Hunter Xu waved his hands, "It's not that I want to eat it, but we just can't keep enough rabbits at home. You don't know, eight more were born this morning, and there's really no room left in the rabbit house. I have to kill a few and eat them." Hunter Xu had a headache when he thought of the rabbit house full of rabbits.

"Really?" Xu Congyi walked towards the rabbit house and said, "I'll go and take a look."

When they arrived at the rabbit house, there were already a lot of rabbits just as Hunter Xu had said. Xu Congyi had previously told Hunter Xu not to breed rabbits from the same rabbit father and mother together, but even so, the rabbits born to the five pairs of rabbits continued to reproduce, and in a short period of time, there were already seventy or eighty rabbits, not counting those with cubs in their bellies.

"Dad, how about we build a new rabbit house? There are really too many rabbits here. After I study spicy rabbit and cold rabbit, I will find Tang Wenhao to cooperate with me. We have seen too many rabbits now. If we really do business, I am afraid that we will not have enough."

"Okay!" Hunter Xu agreed immediately. "Let's discuss this over dinner tonight. Let's build it up in the next few days while the weather isn't too cold."

After dinner in the evening, the whole family gathered together to discuss building a rabbit house, because Xu Congyi proposed that he wanted to do rabbit-related business and cooperate with Tang Wenhao. He also said that the number of rabbits needed was a lot. Xu's family was at the end of the village, close to the foot of the mountain, which was convenient for hunting in the mountain, but there were more mosquitoes, snakes and ants near the mountain. Therefore, there were not many village houses around Xu's family, but more land. In addition, the river flowing through the village was not here, so there were not many fields. They were all planted with beets by households in nearby villages. The rest was wasteland, which could be purchased from the village chief.

Finally, after discussion among the entire Xu family, they decided to build a rabbit house on some unowned land not far from their own beet field. In the past, they grew beets to feed pigs, so they bought cheap land and did not need to fertilize it specially, relying entirely on the weather. However, the climate conditions here are good, and the beets grow very well, but in the future they will have to rely on beets to make sugar, and rabbit manure can be used for fertilizer, killing two birds with one stone.

The next day after breakfast, Old Man Xu went to the village head's house to discuss the purchase of land. The purchase of land went smoothly. The family had the money from selling ginseng and the share of popcorn, which was more than enough to buy land. Old Man Xu thought that his precious granddaughter was fond of making trouble and might want to do something in the future. He also thought about planting more beets next year, so he bought more land. In addition, wasteland was not as good as good farmland, and the price was cheap, one mu of land only cost one tael of silver. Old Man Xu directly bought a large piece of land near his home.

"Uncle Xu, why don't you buy three or four acres first? You bought fifteen acres at once, but they are all ownerless land that no one wants. Your family's good land has been sold to give a quota to a girl. There are still two acres of good land in the village that have not been sold by Mr. Kong who moved away before. In fact, although it is called good land, it has not been fertilized and planted with crops for a long time. If you want, I can sell it to you as good land. You can cultivate it for a year and it will be the same as good land. Isn't it better than reclaiming wasteland?"

"I will buy the wasteland today. As for Mr. Kong's fertile land, I have to go back and discuss it with my family." Old Man Xu did not intend to make the decision on his own. He patted the village chief on the shoulder and said, "Let's write the contract. After that, we can go and measure the land!"

Unable to persuade Old Man Xu, the village chief had to sign the contract. However, he still felt that buying 15 acres of wasteland was not worth it. After writing the contract and measuring the land, the village chief took a ox cart to deliver the contract to the government, and the land was considered to have been bought.

Xu Congyi was also surprised to learn that her grandfather had bought 15 acres of land, which is equivalent to 10,000 square meters in modern times. Old Man Xu handed the land deed directly to Xu Congyi and asked her to standardize it, while the others would be responsible for implementation. Xu Congyi felt warm in her heart when she held the land deed in her hand. This was the trust of the whole family in her, and she must not let them down. Such a large place must be well planned. She already had a feeling of being a farmer.

As for the fertile fields mentioned by the village chief, they were not attractive to Xu Congyi. First of all, the Xu family did not rely on farming for a living, but hunted in the mountains for money. Now Xu Congyi and Tang Wenhao had also made a lot of money. It could be said that the money she earned in a month was equivalent to the annual harvest of several acres of land. Secondly, when she was a child, she always worked in the fields with her grandmother, and farming was too tiring. Now she could make money by her own efforts, and the money she earned every month was enough for her family to live a rich life, so she didn't want her family to be exposed to the wind and sun anymore.

But the rest of the Xu family didn't think so. Land is the foundation of agriculture. Even though the Xu family was born as hunters, they still have a deep affection for the land. The family had good farmland before. It was not a small place, five acres. It was just that they were in a hurry to use the money to treat Xu Congyi's illness, so they sold it at a low price. In fact, if the land for growing beets could not be sold, they would have sold it at the same time. The family's good farmland was sold before, and they didn't expect to buy more good farmland. Since Xu Congyi recovered, he no longer had to spend money on medicine for treatment. The family's expenses were reduced a lot. Even if Xu Congyi didn't do business with Tang Wenhao, Xu the hunter could still support the whole family with his good hunting skills.

But now that there is a chance to buy good farmland again, the Xu family still wants to buy it. The good farmland was also selected by the ancestors who first came to Liushuzhuang Village. They chose the land with good soil, close to water sources and high planting yields, and passed it down from generation to generation. Generally, they will not be bought or sold without special circumstances. So after hearing what Old Man Xu said, they can't wait to buy back the two acres of good farmland from Mr. Kong.
