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

Yesterday, Xu thought that egg fried rice would be very popular, so she cooked half the amount of rice than usual. As she expected, egg fried rice was very popular, mainly because it tasted so good. Firstly, it was fried in the yard, and secondly, the onion aroma was so strong that it filled people's noses. Some men didn't even pick up a few dishes with their chopsticks and directly finished a bowl of egg fried rice.

"Don't just eat the rice! Eat the chicken and tofu together. The mushrooms and potatoes in the chicken are soaked up with the broth. I put a lot of minced meat in the tofu. It's so delicious when you spoon it over rice!"

After hearing what Xu Congyi said, the men hurriedly picked up the mushrooms from the chicken and ate them. Sure enough, the mushrooms not only had their own fragrance, but also had the fragrance of meat. The two flavors blended very well. The mushrooms selected by Xu Congyi were all meaty and tasted very good. One piece of mushroom could be eaten with two mouthfuls of rice. Not to mention the tofu, which was mixed with the minced meat in one bite. It was no exaggeration to say that it was delicious.

In fact, the dishes cooked by Xu Congyi every day can get unanimous praise from the men, but it is not like today when everyone was busy eating and didn't bother to talk. Xu Congyi guessed that it must be the charm of the fried rice. After all, the most she ate at noon today was fried rice. The oily fried rice made people want to swallow it quickly.

When everyone was about 70% full, the noise gradually died down, and everyone started chatting while eating. Old man Xu took out a few porcelain cups from the kitchen and poured each of them a cup of rice wine. His eyes were full of gratitude, because these men had worked tirelessly in the past ten days to build the rabbit house quickly, firmly and beautifully. The men were not hypocritical, and they all raised their glasses. After so many years of getting along, they knew the character of the Xu family very well. In this short ten-day construction period, they felt the generosity and kindness of the Xu family even more deeply. This friendship filled them with strength, and they just wanted to do their best to help the Xu family build the house. Everyone's face was filled with sincere smiles, and they raised their heads and drank the rice wine.

Xu's mother directly distributed the wages to each person, sixty coins per day, a total of ten days' wages, six hundred coins per person, which is equivalent to six coins of silver.

Seeing the silver, the men were all shocked. They could get six coins in ten days, and the food was so good. Several of them waved their hands and refused. This morning when they came to have breakfast, they said that they would just help out for free. The food at the Xu family was so good. Even though they were working, they ate well, and they ate a lot. The daily food expenses must be very expensive. Besides, they had a good relationship.

"No, you can't give it up, take them all!"

Seeing that the men didn't even carry the bowls, they just put their hands back into their sleeves and shook their heads at her and said they didn't want any wages, Xu's mother could only pretend to be serious and put on a stern face.

"Thank you, Auntie. Your uncle and brother do the same work as us every day, and you and your mother cook such delicious meals for us. If this food were in the city, we wouldn't be able to buy it with the money we earn from our work. But we've been eating it for free for so many days. It's really embarrassing to ask for wages..."

The men were talking at once, but Xu Congyi understood the main point: "No wages."

Hunter Xu didn't care about them and directly put the money into their pockets. "It's only natural to get paid for work. If you don't want money, we won't have any more dealings with each other in the future!"

What Hunter Xu said interrupted the men. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do. After a stalemate, the men saw Hunter Xu's expression that said "I will be angry if you dare to take it out", so they accepted the money. However, they felt embarrassed. Although building a house is a craft and sixty cents a day is the market price, that is based on the premise that breakfast and lunch are simple and casual. Now that they eat so well every day, they really feel that the money is too hot to handle.

"Don't think too much!" Xu's mother seemed to know what they were thinking. "The weather is cold and the ground is hard. You built the house quickly and well. Breakfast is simple, just hot, and lunch is a big pot. This money is your wages, you should take it. Otherwise, how can we have the nerve to invite you to come again when we want to build something in the future?"

"Okay!" A man spoke first, "Then let's make a deal, auntie, if there's work to do at home, you can still call us. We brothers will definitely rush to do this job!"

"Okay, okay!" Xu's mother also smiled happily and agreed readily.

The delicious food paired with the sweet rice wine made everyone greedy, but they were all restrained people and did not feel uncomfortable. After the meal, the men took the initiative to wash their own bowls and chopsticks before leaving.

The others were cleaning up at home, and Xu Congyi was not needed for the post-meal cleaning, so Xu Congyi planned to go and see the built rabbit house, thinking of tidying up and moving all the rabbits there in the afternoon. When she arrived at the rabbit house, the clean rabbit house made her eyes light up. The rabbit house was built according to the picture drawn by Xu Congyi. At first, she wanted to build it surrounded by four sides. Later, Xu Congyi thought that since there was such a large place, why make it so crowded, so she just built it in a row. The rabbit house was divided into a rabbit area and a baby rabbit area, and there were partitions placed in it to prevent inbreeding. Although many people who raise rabbits nowadays say that rabbits can be inbred, Xu Congyi still doesn't want to do this, because the quality of rabbits bred by inbreeding will also decline.

The men looked rough, but they were actually very careful. They had already waved their brooms and swept away all the remaining dirt. The floor of the rabbit house was paved with affordable bricks and stones, which not only made cleaning easier, but also provided a comfortable living environment for the rabbits. The men worked tirelessly, even the gaps between the bricks and stones were not spared. They used carefully smashed gravel, mixed it with yellow mud, and filled the gaps little by little. In this era before cement, they used the simplest materials to create the same neat and beautiful effect. Xu Congyi had originally thought about coming over to help clean up, but when she saw all this, she was completely convinced. There was nothing left for him to clean here, and he could just move everything in in the afternoon. She couldn't help but give a thumbs up to these men for their diligence and carefulness.

The Xu family is impatient. When Xu Congyi came home and said that the rabbit house was built so well that they could move the rabbits there in the afternoon, the Xu family said they should move it now. Okay, Xu Congyi followed the instructions and started to move the rabbits. After five or six trips, there were not many rabbit cages, so they had to squeeze the rabbits together. A layer of hay was laid under the cart, and then the rabbit cages were moved onto the cart. A lot of rabbits could be moved at once, but the pile was too high, so two people had to follow to protect them from falling off. Xu Congyi couldn't move much, so he and his mother were responsible for putting the rabbits in according to their categories.

Seventy or eighty rabbits were already crowded in the rabbit house at home, but they seemed much smaller in the newly built rabbit house, as each rabbit had a lot of space. Xu Congyi was thinking about clearing a piece of land nearby, sprinkling grass seeds on it and enclosing it in a circle, so that the rabbits could run and jump and eat the freshest grass.
