The vegetable patch in the backyard was soaked by rain. After such a heavy rain, many vegetables were knocked crooked and many cucumbers fell to the ground.

Chu Xiao picked up the cucumbers and saw that some of them were only the length of a thumb. He immediately felt sorry for them.

Yan Zhenshen sorted out the vegetables that were knocked down by the heavy rain, and Chu Xiao chopped up the ones he had cleared and fed them to the chickens. Farmers would never waste anything and would always find a use for it.

The chicken coop here is big, so the chickens and ducks are not exposed to the rain, and they all rush over to grab the fresh food.

The ground becomes very muddy after it rains. After cleaning up the old house, Yan Zhen was afraid that Chu Xiao would slip, so he carried him back.

Being carried on the other person's back with a big belly, Chu Xiao found it difficult to lie on top of the other person.

After returning to the new house, Zhao Guizhi was also cleaning the backyard, so Chu Xiao and Yan Zhenshen went over to help.

"The rain came so suddenly," Zhao Guizhi said. "I wanted to go to the fields to check, but the rain came so suddenly that I got soaked no matter how hard I tried. But with the rain, the seedlings in the fields absorbed enough water and they can ear faster."

Zhao Guizhi smiled as she spoke: "I compared the crops in other people's fields, and it's true that the seedlings in our field are the strongest and look taller."

Chu Xiao naturally knew what was going on. When transplanting the rice seedlings, he used his mental power to slightly strengthen the vitality of the seedlings. With the help of supernatural powers, he could ensure that none of the seedlings would die, thus saving the trouble of replenishing the seedlings later.

Because they were planted outside in the field, he didn't dare to rush the growth of the seedlings, but because of their strong vitality, they would naturally grow better than ordinary seedlings.

"That was taken care of by my mother."

Chu Xiao also admired Zhao Guizhi's diligence in farming. He went to check on her every few days and pulled out the weeds if he found any. This was one of the main reasons why the weeds did not harm the seedlings.

As expected, everyone likes to be praised. Zhao Guizhi smiled happily: "It's all for the sake of harvesting more food."

"I think this year will be fine. They say auspicious snow means a good harvest. Last year it snowed so heavily, so this year we're sure to have a good harvest." Chu Xiao threw a handful of vegetables that were wilted by the rain into the chicken coop.

The hens kept in the new house are all laying eggs. You don't need to chop the vegetable leaves when feeding them, they will just peck them by themselves.

Chu Xiao watched seven or eight hens pecking at the leaves one by one, and found that some of them had no hair on their heads or buttocks. One of them was the most miserable, as its entire tail feathers were gone, which looked really ugly.

"These chickens have been getting along for so long, why are they still fighting?"

Among the seven or eight hens, only two were originally from the family, and the others were sent to Chu Xiao by others after they knew she was pregnant.

This is the season when hens lay eggs, and hens are not easy to buy. Qiao Qingyun and Lu Zhicheng have connections, so they often buy some from here.

Wang Wu and the village chief also brought over a laying hen from their homes.

When hens from different households gather together, they are not familiar with each other and it is easy for them to fight.

Chu Xiao had heard of cockfighting before, but the ones they fought were roosters. It was the first time he knew that hens were also very powerful.

Zhao Guizhi laughed twice: "Fighting is one of the reasons, but the main reason is that the chickens are molting. Alas, it is very difficult to pluck the feathers when we kill chickens these days."

There were a lot of chickens at home some time ago, and Zhao Guizhi was willing to give them away. She would stew chicken soup for Chu Xiao every three or five days.

Chu Xiao, who was eating, had no interest in the chicken soup at all: "Let's save it all for laying eggs."

"Even in the hot summer, chickens don't like to lay eggs." Zhao Guizhi straightened up and patted her lower back with the back of her relatively clean hand: "I picked up three eggs this morning."

Yan Zhenshen threw the weeds he had cleared into the cowshed and said, "I'll go to Liujiawan to buy some fish tomorrow."

Although pregnant women cannot eat too much, they still need to get enough nutrition.

Some families in the village live poorly and do not have enough money to provide for the health of their wives and children. When this child is born, not only will the adults suffer from health problems, but the child will also be too thin to be easily raised.

Zhao Guizhi is an experienced person and knows this best. Although the food was not bad when she had her four children, she had seen other people's babies who were like kittens and many of them died within a few days.

This lady became ill because of this, and it became very difficult for her to have another child. As a result, she was disliked by her husband's family, and her life became increasingly difficult, so naturally, she could no longer get pregnant.

"It's better to buy the crucian carp, which is nourishing."

Yan Zhenshen nodded: "It's good to go catch loaches now that it's raining..."

Zhao Guizhi waved her hands repeatedly: "It smells so earthy, Xiao Ge'er can't eat that."

Chu Xiao: “…” What the hell, he has never eaten it before.

Yan Zhenshen wanted to go catch eels, but when he thought about the function of that thing, he gave up. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch it, and that his husband wouldn't be able to catch it.

The rain washed away a lot of the heat. Although it was muddy, many men still took advantage of the coolness to go to the fields to work.

Yan Sanmei also carried a backpack and went to cut grass. Chu Xiao asked her to join him, but she refused to do anything because the road was wet and slippery. She was scared by Chu Xiao.

Chu Xiao had no choice but to stand at the door holding a melon and chewing it. The wolf cub sneaked over again without him knowing when, and its four paws were very dirty. Just as it was about to get close, Chu Xiao kicked it away.

"Go back to the old house."

The new house is paved with polished stones, so when the wolf cub goes in, there will be wolf footprints everywhere.

At this time, two dogs from unknown families passed by the yard, and the wolf cub whimpered at the two dogs.

The two dogs were so scared that they sped up and ran away quickly.

The wolf cub stared at the two dogs until they disappeared, then turned around and continued to wag its tail at Chu Xiao.

Chu Xiao tutted: "Why are you so overbearing? You can't even let other dogs pass by?"

The wolf cub whimpered twice and tried to move forward again. Chu Xiao quickly stretched out his leg to stop him: "You are so dirty. Wait until the weather is good to wash yourself and come back."

Now that the weather is getting warmer, the water in the river is no longer frozen. If it doesn't rain tomorrow, we really have to take all the dogs to the river and give them a good wash.

Especially Xiao Hui, after being chopped down and the medicine was changed several times, he didn't dare to touch water. The blood on his fur had become tangled, which attracted insects and flies.

The wolf cub whimpered in grievance, but it dared to compete with Yan Zhenshen. In front of Chu Xiao, it could only look at him with pitiful eyes.

"Go back to the old house."

The wolf cub saw that Chu Xiao really wouldn't let it into the yard, so it just lay down at the door outside the yard, acting like a spoiled child and refusing to leave.

The wolf cub is really annoying. It always lies in the middle of the door. Even if you move it to the side, it will crawl to the middle and lie there after a while.

When Zhao Guizhi came out and saw it, she used a broom to scare the wolf cub, telling it to lie down on the side. But the wolf cub suddenly showed its teeth, and Zhao Guizhi was so scared that she took several steps back.

Yan Zhenshen happened to see it, so he took the broom and hit it several times. Seeing that the wolf cub was about to hide behind Chu Xiao, he grabbed it by the scruff of the neck and dragged it towards the old house.

The wolf cub howled miserably, but Chu Xiao waved at it in a cheeky manner. He had to teach it a lesson. It was fine if it showed off in front of his brother Shen, but it was baring its teeth in front of other people in the family. If he didn't give it a good beating, it would probably become even more unscrupulous.
