Xu Guoqiang felt a little embarrassed after being scolded and could only laugh dryly.

There's nothing we can do. Everyone hasn't had any oily food in their stomachs for a long time.

"The village chief is still thinking long-term."

Chen Zhide didn't want to take credit for anything, so he pointed it out directly, "This idea was thought up by Chen Yuan. His wife knows how to cook rabbit meat."

"When the time comes, let's give it a try. If we can't keep it alive, we can eat it later."

No one can say for sure whether this panting thing can be taken care of, so we can't hold too much hope.

Chen Yuan placed the two rabbits separately into two empty pig pens so that he would not be afraid that the female rabbit's cubs would be eaten by the male rabbit.

After leaving the village committee, Chen Yuan returned home.

After a busy day and not having lunch yet, his stomach was already empty.

The meat that Sun Weiwei had originally stewed was snatched away, so she simply brought back some ribs from outside and used the hatchet left by Chen Yuan to chop the ribs into small pieces.

A good cook cannot cook without rice. Apart from salt, Zhang Guixiang and Li Qinfen did not give her any seasoning at all.

However, having meat to eat is already a luxury.

Chen Yuan returned home and took out the two dollars given by Zhang Guixiang from his pocket.

"Take these two dollars and hide them. I'll get up early tomorrow and go to the county to get rid of the pheasant."

Sun Weiwei nodded, took the two dollars and hid them in a wooden box.

This is all their family belongings!

During the meal, Chen Yuan told Sun Weiwei exactly what he had said today with the village chief, which scared Sun Weiwei so much that she dropped her chopsticks on the ground.

"Brother Yuan! How can I cook rabbit? What should I do?"

Chen Yuan looked at his wife's panic, chuckled, and quickly comforted her: "Your husband can do it!"

"what?"

Sun Weiwei showed a look of surprise. She had been married to Chen Yuan for so many years, but she had never seen Chen Yuan cook.

"Anyway, I can do it. I'll teach you when I have time. Don't you still trust your man?"

Sun Weiwei felt an inexplicable sense of trust in her heart, and she nodded in agreement.

After dinner, Chen Yuan took a bowl of pork ribs and planned to send it to Aunt Chunhua's house.

At that time, few people could afford a flashlight, so Chen Yuan walked to the village entrance in the dark.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Aunt Chunhua, Uncle Zhiqiang, are you home?"

After a while, the door was opened and He Chunhua was stunned when she saw Chen Yuan.

"Hey, Erwa is here, come in and sit down."

Erwa is Chen Yuan's nickname. Usually only the old people in the village would call him that. When Chen Yuan heard this name, he was a little stunned.

"Auntie, I'm here to return the bowl, so I won't go in and disturb you."

Seeing Chen Yuan in a hurry to leave, He Chunhua hurriedly said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. Come in and sit down. Your uncle said he wanted to thank you in person."

Chen Yuan knew that this was what the village chief had said. "Auntie, this is a good job. No need to thank me. My wife and children are waiting for me at home. I'll go back first."

Having said that, Chen Yuan directly handed the bowl to He Chunhua and turned to leave.

He Chunhua took the bowl and found that it was heavy with the aroma of meat.

"Hey, old man! Erwa even brought us a bowl of meat!"

He Chunhua did not dare to delay and hurriedly carried the meat into the house.

"Take it. There's no way to send it back. The people have already run away."

"Find a chance to send more food over in the future. We old couple don't eat much in a year."

Chen Zhiqiang and his wife have a son, but he is serving in the army and they rarely see him all year round.

He Chunhua sighed and said with emotion, "What a good child Erwa is! He's the most filial child in the Chen family!"

"What a pity, with such a big family, I think it would be better to go out and live alone!"

Chen Zhiqiang took a puff of his pipe and sighed helplessly.

"The child is a good child and knows how to be grateful!"

……

When Chen Yuan returned home, Sun Weiwei had already heated the kang and was coaxing Yiyi to sleep.

"Brother Yuan, you're back."

When Chen Yiyi heard the noise, she refused to sleep no matter what and insisted that her father hold her.

"Daddy, hug me!"

She was really scared today. When her great-grandmother and aunt rushed into the house, they shouted and cursed, and turned the house into a mess.

Chen Yuan felt an indescribable love for his daughter.

"Daddy just came back and he's cold. Can you hold Yiyi later?"

Yiyi nodded sensibly, took her mother's hand and closed her eyes, and soon the sound of even breathing could be heard.

"Wife, can you sleep next to me tonight?"

Sun Weiwei's face suddenly turned red, and the tips of her ears were so red that blood seemed to be dripping out.

"Yiyi is still here."

Chen Yuan chuckled and reached out to pinch Sun Weiwei's face.

"I just want to hold you while I sleep. Your man has been busy all day!"

Sun Weiwei had no choice but to follow Chen Yuan's wishes and lie down beside him.

The two have been married for many years, but Sun Weiwei still feels shy about this kind of thing.

"Does your face still hurt?"

Chen Yuan hugged Sun Weiwei, put his hands on her waist, and touched her dishonestly.

Sun Weiwei shook her head gently, too shy to look Chen Yuan in the eye.

"After I change the money and tickets tomorrow, I'll go buy some cotton and make this quilt bigger."

Chen Yuan thought about going to the county tomorrow, exchanging money to buy important things first, and then he would earn the rest by hunting.

"Okay, how about you take these two dollars with you?"

"I didn't cook that pheasant egg, but I can still exchange it for money."

"No, that thing is hard to find. Save it for Yiyi."

The two talked for a while and then fell asleep.

Chen Yuan was thinking about something and didn't sleep well. He got up when it was getting light.

When Sun Weiwei heard the noise, she also put on her clothes and went downstairs.

"Brother Yuan, I'll heat up some steamed buns for you to eat on the road."

When stewing the meat yesterday, Sun Weiwei steamed two steamed buns and gave them to Chen Yuan to take with him.

It takes two hours to walk from Chenjia Village to the county.

By the time Chen Yuan arrived at the county, it was already dawn.

According to his memories from his previous life, Chen Yuan walked north after entering the county town and stopped at the entrance of an alley.

This alley is the legendary black market where transactions can be conducted without tickets.

Chen Yuan pulled at the woolen collar to cover his face.

There were already quite a few people in the alley, all of them looking alert.

Being caught as a profiteer at this time is no small crime, you will be punished with a heavy price.

Chen Yuan found a corner and waited quietly for customers.

In his backpack were the two pheasants he had shot yesterday. They were quite big, weighing at least five pounds.

After a long time, a middle-aged woman came into the alley, looking panicked and looking around.

Her daughter-in-law was in confinement after childbirth and needed some chicken soup to nourish her, but chickens were hard to find, and she couldn't buy any at the meat processing plant because she had no connections.

There was no other way, she could only try her luck in the black market.

The middle-aged woman walked around and came to Chen Yuan. She looked at the basket on his back and asked in a low voice, "What are you selling?"

Chen Yuan was afraid that the middle-aged woman was asking a cliché, so he asked seriously, "What do you want to buy?"
