Chapter 159
Zhong Ruyi had originally planned to come back to see him, to see how his rabbits were doing. When her restaurant opened, she would have to supply him with rabbits.
"Come on, I'll take you to see it." After Chen Dongzhi knew that she wanted to come back to see the rabbits, he wanted to take her back to see it.
The rabbit house is right behind his house. He specially set aside a large area to build a small shed, and raised hundreds of rabbits in it.
Zhong Ruyi nodded and called Jiang Qin to join him.
Chen Dongzhi looked at the stranger who appeared beside her, pursed her lips and wanted to ask something but was afraid that she would think she was meddling too much, so she could only lower her head and walk silently.
Zhong Ruyi didn't notice that he suddenly became depressed, but Jiang Qin was very sensitive to his gaze. However, he could only tell that there was no malice in it, and he couldn't see much more.
On the way, Zhong Ruyi felt that the atmosphere was a bit too silent. She looked at Chen Dongzhi and then at Jiang Qin, both of whom were not talkative.
But Chen Dongzhi usually talks a lot when he is with her, so why is he silent today?
She was confused and thought about finding an opportunity to ask him about it later.
When we arrived at Chen's house, Chen's mother was still chopping chicken feed for the chicken. It was all rotten vegetable leaves picked from the vegetable garden. It was easier to eat after the chicken was chopped up.
When she saw Zhong Ruyi coming, she was so happy, "Ruyi, how come you have time to come here?"
As she said this, she glared at her son, "Hurry up and take Ruyi in. I have a bag of peach cakes in my room that I bought but haven't opened yet. Take them out and give them to Ruyi."
"No need, auntie. I came here today to see how Brother Dongzhi's rabbits are doing." Zhong Ruyi hurriedly grabbed Chen Dongzhi, who was about to go into the room to get the peach cakes according to Chen's mother's instructions.
Mother Chen was stunned. "Ruyi, you want to eat rabbit? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I asked Dongzhi to send it to the town for you. Why did you come back all the way? It's so tiring!"
"No, no, no! Auntie. I didn't want to eat it myself." Zhong Ruyi explained, "I rented another store in town and planned to open a small restaurant. I need rabbits, so I wanted to come and see how Brother Dongzhi's rabbits are doing. I want to cooperate with him then. He will sell all the rabbits to me, and I will take them to town to do business."
Although the two were dating, she still had to make things clear so that others wouldn't think she was taking advantage of Chen Dongzhi.
Mother Chen looked at Chen Dongzhi and then at Zhong Ruyi. She didn't expect that the girl her son liked was so capable and had rented another store in the town to do business so quickly.
She looked at Zhong Ruyi with sparkling eyes, "Then go quickly, go and have a look, Dongzhi has raised a lot of rabbits! These rabbits give birth to litters of puppies, and their poop and pee are so smelly. I thought he was raising them for some other purpose, but I didn't expect they could be useful to you!"
As she said that, she took Zhong Ruyi and the others to the back of the house to look at the rabbits. She kept talking as she walked, "Ruyi, you are so capable. Auntie likes a capable and beautiful daughter like you!"
Zhong Ruyi followed behind her, pursed her lips and smiled embarrassedly.
She glanced at Chen Dongzhi and saw that although he had a stern face, he obviously agreed with what Chen's mother said.
Chen Dongzhi thought to himself that not only his mother liked it, but he, as a son, also liked it.
Following at the end, Jiang Qin would not feel as if he knew something, but he couldn't think of what it was for a moment, so he could only lower his head and follow the footsteps of the person in front.
When he got closer, Zhong Ruyi saw a small house surrounded by bamboo strips. The roof was covered with straw, and the floor was also covered with straw. When he got closer, he could smell a odor.
But among all the rabbits she raises, this is the only one that smells bad. It's obvious that Mother Chen takes good care of them.
Mother Chen stepped forward and opened the door of the bamboo fence. When the rabbits inside saw mother Chen who came to feed them every day, some of them jumped forward a few steps, but most of them shrank back into the corner.
She picked up a rabbit and brought it to Zhong Ruyi to show her. "Ruyi, look, how fat these rabbits are! They eat a lot of grass every day. I go cut grass for them every day and feed them some vegetable leaves sometimes."
Chen Dongzhi took the rabbit from Chen's mother. It was an adult rabbit, and a male. Among so many rabbits, there were more male rabbits than female rabbits.
Zhong Ruyi wanted to take it, but Chen Dongzhi stopped her, "It's dirty."
As soon as he finished speaking, the rabbit urinated a little on his hand, and he quickly moved it away to avoid it getting on her.
"It's okay, let me see." Zhong Ruyi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She could accept the dirty pig offal, so a little feces and urine was nothing.
Chen Dongzhi had no choice but to give her the rabbit. She took it in her hand and weighed it. It should be about five kilograms and quite fat.
After looking at the rabbits, Chen's mother insisted that she go in for tea and snacks, so Zhong Ruyi had no choice but to follow her in.
"Come on, come on, Ruyi, try it. These are the peach cakes and sesame cakes I bought during the Chinese New Year, but I haven't eaten them yet. Try them."
She looked at Jiang Qin again and asked hesitantly, "Who is this child..."
Zhong Ruyi quickly explained, "This is my mother's distant relative. The three siblings came to live with us. I thought I would need help to open a store. This child is also smart, so I thought of letting him raise rabbits."
Mother Chen opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. Before her son came back, the person who provided the most support to their family in the village was mother Zhong.
So it was normal for Zhong's mother to invite relatives from her mother's side to help, since she could also do the work in the restaurant and help with the cooking.
She gave the snack to Jiang Qin with a smile, "Come on, eat it, good boy. How old are you this year?"
Jiang Qin was a little shy. This aunt seemed easy to get along with. She was smiling all the time, even when talking to Sister Ruyi.
He twisted his fingers and whispered, "I am fourteen years old this year, aunt."
"Oh, fourteen years old!" Chen's mother nodded and took a few more glances at him. She thought the boy looked very energetic and seemed like a good worker.
Zhong Ruyi handed Chen Dongzhi a piece of peach cake and said, "Eat it quickly. It's fragrant and crispy."
When Chen Dongzhi took it, he felt his palm being tickled. He was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw Zhong Ruyi winking at him and grinning.
There was a gleam in his eyes and his lips were slightly pursed. Although he had a good-looking face, he always had a serious expression.
But now the seriousness on his face was replaced by tenderness, and his face, which was tense all day, also looked a little soft.
Looking at him like this, Zhong Ruyi wanted to kiss him and touch him, but because there were other people present, she couldn't do it. She could only tickle the palm of his hand when no one was paying attention.
Mother Chen found out about Jiang Qin's family situation and turned around to see the two of them exchanging glances.
She smiled and continued talking to Jiang Qin.
Her son finally found a girl he liked, and she couldn't disturb them.
She even thought about building a new house for them to live in when they got married. Young people always like to be together.
When she was married to the father of the child, she became pregnant before they had been alone for two years. Until now, she has not had the opportunity to be alone with the father of the child.
