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

The afternoon sun shines through the treetops, dappling the village path. After lunch, everyone returns to their own rooms to take a nap. After lunch, Old Man Xu takes the Shen family's grandparents and grandchildren out for a walk, and the first stop is their own rabbit house. At first, the grandparents and grandchildren thought the rabbit house should be near their home, but they didn't expect that it was a separate piece of land.

"We have bought all the land around here and will plan it carefully in the spring," said Old Man Xu as he walked.

Arriving at the rabbit house, Hunter Xu opened the door. In order to prevent the rabbits in the rabbit house from being taken away by wild animals in the mountains, Hunter Xu made a sturdy and heavy wooden door himself years ago. Shen Xiao had only heard that the rabbit meat of Tangjixiang Meat Shop was supplied by the Xu family. He thought that the Xu family just raised a few rabbits. But the scene in front of him surprised him. He didn't expect that the Xu family actually set aside a piece of land to build such a sturdy and beautiful rabbit house. Moreover, the interior of the rabbit house was clean and tidy, and every corner was cleaned spotlessly. It was obvious that the owner had spent a lot of thought and energy to take care of it.

Because Xu Congyi constantly bought good-quality rabbits from the space to supplement the rabbit house, even though he needed to supply ten live rabbits to the Tang family every day, the number of rabbits continued to increase.

"Old Shen, what do you think of these rabbits? I carefully selected and took care of them." Old Man Xu proudly showed Old Man Shen his rabbit-raising results.

Old man Shen nodded and praised: "It's really good. This rabbit is really well raised. Look how bright its fur is and how lively it is."

Old Man Shen also developed a strong interest in these rabbits. He was very happy to see the little rabbits that had not yet grown up. Seeing that Old Man Xu liked them, Old Man Xu reached out with his big hands, took out two little rabbits from the rabbit house and handed them to Old Man Shen.

"Yes, these rabbits are good breeds that my granddaughter bought from foreigners. They don't dig holes and grow fast. If you like them, take a couple home to raise them."

Old Man Shen hesitated: "That's impossible. Your family relies on rabbits for a living. How can I take your rabbits?"

"Hey, don't be polite!" Old Man Xu laughed heartily, "Raising rabbits is not difficult. These rabbits reproduce quickly. Losing a pair won't affect my family's livelihood. Besides, I also want you to experience the fun of raising rabbits."

Old man Shen still insisted: "I don't have the time to take care of them, you should keep them for yourself."

"You don't have to worry about that. Rabbits are really easy to raise." Old Man Xu said, stuffing two little rabbits into Shen Xiao's hands. "Child, look at how cute these rabbits are. Do you want to take them home to raise?"

Shen Xiao looked at the little rabbit in his hand and wanted to laugh. Grandpa Xu seemed to be coaxing him like a child, but looking at the cute little rabbit, Shen Xiao still nodded.

Seeing this, Old Man Shen couldn't refuse Old Man Xu's kindness. He smiled and said, "Okay, let's take a couple home and try. But I have to ask you for advice on how to raise rabbits."

Old Man Xu laughed and said, "No problem. I have been raising rabbits for many years and have a lot of experience. You are always welcome to ask me."

"Okay, okay!" Old man Shen had no choice but to accept it, but he still put the little rabbit back into its nest first, "I'll take it when I leave, I'll take it when I leave."

Because he really wanted the Shen family's grandparents to stay at the Xu family for a few more days, Old Man Xu was no longer in a hurry to ask them to take the rabbit away now. It would not be too late to let them take the rabbit with them when he sent them home in a few days.

After wandering around the village for a while, they decided to go for a walk in the mountains. The mountain road was rugged, but the scenery along the way was refreshing. They chatted while walking, enjoying this rare quiet time. The three of them walked around for a long time before returning home. Shen Xiao listened to the laughter of his grandfather and Grandpa Xu from time to time, and felt that he hadn't seen his grandfather so happy for a long time.

Xu Congyi was preparing the earthen pot chicken in the kitchen. The chicken was freshly bought from the space, chopped into small pieces, and soaked in clean water to remove excess blood. This kind of chicken is tender and easy to stew, and tastes much better than the chicken of farmers in this era. She chopped the chicken into small pieces and put a few large chicken legs in, which were also chopped into small pieces. This way, you can't tell that there are a few more legs when you eat it. The ingredients have also been prepared. Cut the green onion into sections, chop the garlic, slice the ginger, and put other spices on the plate for later use. Considering the grandparents of the Shen family, the earthen pot chicken tonight is slightly spicy with soy sauce. The sauce is made of dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, cooking wine, salt, chicken powder and a little white sugar. Stir well and set aside.

When all the preparations were completed, the grandparents of the Shen family happened to come back from outside. When the two brothers of the Xu family saw Shen Xiao coming back, they took the initiative to go over and talk. Seeing this, Xu Congyi also walked out of the kitchen and joined their conversation. She found that Xu Congwen's personality was somewhat similar to Shen Xiao's. They were both the type of people who were quiet and introverted, not good at speaking but deep in their hearts. When they were chatting, they could always listen to each other's words quietly, nodding from time to time to show their agreement or thinking. Xu Cong'an and Xu Congyi's personalities were closer. They were both lively, cheerful and carefree. Xu Cong'an spoke directly and made jokes from time to time. Of course, although Xu Cong'an and Xu Congyi had similar personalities, Xu Congyi was much more thoughtful than Xu Cong'an.

When she felt that the time was about right, Xu started to stir-fry the clay pot chicken. She first blanched the chicken to remove the fishy smell and blood, then heated the pan with cold oil, added onions, ginger, garlic and spices and stir-fried until fragrant, then added the chicken and stir-fried until it changed color. Then, she poured in the prepared sauce, stir-fried evenly, covered the pot, and simmered it over low heat. As time passed, the aroma of the clay pot chicken gradually wafted out of the kitchen, the fragrance was rich and tempting, Li Dahua opened the pot and stuck a lot of pancakes in it. Because she had fermented pancakes for lunch, she deliberately did not let the pancakes rise in the evening.

After stewing for a while, the pancakes were cooked and the earthen pot chicken was ready to be served. The task of carrying the pot was given to Xu the hunter, who was strong enough to carry the whole pot to the main hall. No other dishes were made, just the pickled vegetables pickled by Li Dahua.

The chicken was tender and juicy, with an excellent taste, and the soup was rich and mellow. Shen Xiao thought the best thing was the pancake, which had absorbed the essence of the chicken soup. When you took a bite, you could taste the crispness of the pancake and the deliciousness of the chicken soup, which was very memorable. Old Man Shen ate with great relish, and kept praising Xu Congyi's superb cooking skills.

After dinner, everyone gathered in the main house to chat. Old Man Shen hadn't been so happy for a long time. He didn't have many friends, and his daily life revolved around the stove and his grandson Shen Xiao. But today, in the warm atmosphere of the Xu family, he felt the long-lost joy and relaxation. He and Old Man Xu talked about the past and their expectations for the future. Shen Xiao listened on the side, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two, and sometimes laughing at the jokes of his grandfather and Old Man Xu. At night, the Xu family was brightly lit and full of laughter. Such time was precious to Old Man Shen and Shen Xiao.
