The black-hoofed sheep kept in the old house had been frightened by the wolf cub all night. Now it lay on the ground with its head drooped, and had no intention of eating even if grass was placed in front of it.

The wolf cub was still wagging its tail proudly and making threatening whining sounds at the black-hoofed sheep.

"You deserve it." Chu Xiao was speechless about the wolf cub who came over and rubbed his trouser leg.

"If this sheep doesn't eat grass, will it become hungry and thin?" Chu Xiao looked at the sheep and was afraid that it would not recover for three to five days.

"It's okay." Yan Zhenshen poured the feces swept out of the chicken coop into the backpack, and would take it to the new house to make compost later.

"Black-hoofed sheep like to butt people. We won't keep them at home. We'll take them to town and sell them tomorrow."

"Is anyone going to eat mutton in such hot weather?" Chu Xiao only knew that mutton sold best during the winter solstice. In fact, if he could raise the sheep until that time, he could earn an extra 1 or 2 taels of silver.

"It's okay during the dog days. Some wealthy families are particular about eating mutton during the dog days every year. Go ask the manager of the Lin Mansion if he wants it. If not, sell it to the butcher. It can still be sold for five taels of silver."

The family already has two rams and one ewe. When winter comes, one will be killed for meat, and the other will be kept for breeding when the ewe runs out of milk.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhenshen said, "The ewe should be giving birth soon. I have to remind her to pay more attention to it in the next few days."

"Can you deliver a sheep?" Chu Xiao was a little curious. Could it be that his brother Shen also knew this?

"No." Yan Zhenshen answered straightforwardly, "If you run in the forest, you should be able to do it on your own."

He thought for a moment and said, "At worst, ask Wang Wu to come and look after us."

These rabbits and sheep are both animals, so they should be pretty much the same.

“That’s fine.” Chu Xiao didn’t understand all this. He thought that there was no one taking care of these wild animals in the mountains, and they were multiplying and growing stronger from generation to generation. He thought that they really didn’t need to worry about them.

The sun was getting bigger, and after cleaning up the old house, Yan Zhenshen pushed the cart to the new house. It was good to have a carpenter at home, as he had several carts. He didn't have to run back and forth several times to carry heavy objects, which saved a lot of trouble.

When we returned to the new house, the third sister was sitting under the eaves embroidering.

There is a lot of housework at home and she doesn't have much time to touch needlework. This will hurt her feet. Since she can't work, she thought about embroidering a few handkerchiefs.

When it is hot, people sweat a lot, and handkerchiefs will become yellow and old after being washed for a period of time. My family members are still using last year's ones, so I might as well take this opportunity to embroider more and replace them for everyone in my family.

Chu Xiao saw a large basket of grass when he entered the yard. He looked very honest and asked, "Did Zhang Yiming cut this?"

Yan Sanmei was still a little angry when she mentioned this man, "He sent a basket of grass over and took away two baskets from us."

The girl was angry, so naturally she was dissatisfied with everything about the other person.

Although Chu Xiao was protective of his people, he was not so unreasonable. This was an accident no matter how you looked at it. Besides, Zhang Yiming's family had apologized and even helped cut the grass.

"Why is there a pig's trotter here?" Chu Xiao had just sat down when he saw a pig's trotter in a small basket next to him, with hay stuffed underneath. When he opened it, he saw a dozen eggs.

Yan Sanmei was deflated for a second: "Aunt Zhang also came over. Mom couldn't accept it. She kept apologizing, which made Mom feel very embarrassed. I could only say that it was nothing and it was over. Look, the two of them happily went out to cut grass with Zhang Yiming."

She exhaled deeply: "Forget it, I am too lazy to be angry with him. I just can't understand why Aunt Zhang, such a good person, gave birth to such a son."

Chu Xiao chuckled: "A dragon gives birth to nine sons, each one is different."

"They don't have the same mother, so of course they are different." Yan Zhennan opened the door and stretched out, "Look at our family, good bamboo shoots grow out of good bamboos, and they are all top-notch... Ouch."

Halfway through his words, Qiao Qingyun, who came out of the house, kicked him and said, "Get away from me."

Yan Zhennan immediately turned around and carried the person into the house: "Ayun, why are you up? You've been tired for half a month. No one will say anything if you sleep in a little longer."

As he said this, he kicked the door shut. Then there were muffled noises in the room, mixed with several shouts of Qiao Qingyun rolling away angrily.

Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows. That was right. If he remembered correctly, that time when he followed Yan Lao Er, the two of them got along like this. But after they were together, they were so affectionate with each other that Chu Xiao almost thought that Dean Qiao was a soft persimmon.

Young couples tend to quarrel a lot, and if one of them spoils the other, they will always develop bad habits.

The more Chu Xiao listened, the happier he became. He knew without a second thought that the second brother must have been punished by Qiao Qingyun, and that he didn't get up in the morning... He was tired after half a month, so he must be kidding.

He shouldn't be too familiar with the matter of not being able to get out of bed.

Alas, I am a little envious of two men being together. After all, they can do whatever they want without having to worry about children.

Yan Zhenshen cleaned up the chicken and duck feces that were pushed over from the old house, and came in through the back door. When he went to wash his hands at the kitchen door, he heard some noise and asked Chu Xiao, "What happened?"

"It's okay, I'm just kidding."

Yan Zhennan put two fish baskets in the river two days ago. He was planning to collect them yesterday, but because Qiao Qingyun came over, he forgot about it in his happiness.

Today I can use this matter to coax Qiao Qingyun and get him to follow me to close the net.

Qiao Qingyun was not too angry at first, but he just felt it was a little inappropriate. However, seeing that no one in the Yan family seemed to care too much, he nodded in agreement.

The sun was already quite high at this time, and it would be cooler to go to the river, so Chu Xiao called Yan Zhenshen to go with him.

Usually, not many people come to the section of the river near his home, and no one will take away the fishing nets left in the river.

The location chosen by Yan Zhennan was a bit remote, with weeds half a person's height on the shore. Chu Xiao did not follow him, but waited under a big tree nearby.

The wolf cub that followed was very excited and kept his eyes on the fishing net.

With the sound of splashing water, the fishing net and the fish basket were pulled out. Seeing the fish struggling inside and flapping their tails, the wolf cub lowered his body and whimpered.

Its tail was also swinging back and forth, and it was obvious that it was threatening the fish again.

When the fishing net was completely pulled out, it backed away. After all, wolf cubs don't like baths and don't like water very much.

Chu Xiao watched from under the tree and deliberately said, "Brother Shen, throw the wolf cub into the river to take a bath."

Yan Zhenshen turned around and smiled at his husband, pretending to catch the wolf cub. The wolf cub was so scared that it tucked its tail between its legs and ran away. It stopped and looked back only when it was far away.

Seeing that Yan Zhenshen didn't follow him, he slowly moved closer.

But who would have thought that besides Yan Zhenshen, the man who could deal with it, there was also Yan Zhennan, who was as cunning as it was. When he saw the wolf cub approaching to sniff the fish in the net, he picked up the wolf cub and threw it into the river.

The wolf cub let out a shrill cry, and the wolf was already completely soaked. It swam towards the shore like a dog, whimpering non-stop.

Yan Zhennan laughed loudly, and Qiao Qingyun shook his head helplessly, what a bad taste.

Yan Zhenshen turned around to look at Chu Xiao, and seeing that he was also holding his belly with a smile on his face, he gave up the idea of ​​kicking Yan Zhennan into the river as well.
