There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 233 Rabbits can dig holes

She also wanted to make a piece of work by herself, rolled up her arms and sleeves, and spit into the palm of her hand like a worker, and asked her father for a shovel in high spirits.

 “Dad, I’m coming.”

 “You? Forget it!”

Zheng Dakui smiled and waved his hands, not believing that his daughter could pick up the shovel.

 “Dad, let me try.”

Zheng Xinyue took out her trump card and started acting coquettishly with her father.

 “Okay, stop picking up the mud, it’s too heavy for you to lift.”

Zheng Dakui couldn't resist his daughter and handed her the shovel. Zheng Xinyue was very excited when she held the shovel. She was about to contribute to the third brother's great cause of building a house.

The three brothers had no intention of taking off the cake. They all looked at their sister nervously, waiting for her to stop carrying it and pick it up.

Zheng Xinyue carried the shovel to the reconciled mud, and followed her father's example to rub the shovel into the mud. She thought it was easy, and she didn't care when she was holding the shovel. Only when she really started to lift it did she realize - how heavy it is?

 “I said you can’t do it, right? This is all the work of men.”

Seeing his daughter struggling to pick up the shovel, the head of the shovel was hanging down when she walked, and it might fall to the ground at any time. Zheng Dakui smiled and shook his head. He went over to take the shovel, but Zheng Xinyue said nothing and refused.

 “I can do it.”

There was no other way, Ye San'er had to follow her. Zheng Xinyue finally poured the mud into the wooden frame, and raised her beautiful little chin excitedly:

 “Look, I just said I can do it.”

 “My little sister is really capable.”

Zheng Chengbao looked at his sister proudly. In fact, the capable old women in the village were doing this work as if it was for fun. Zheng Xinyue worked so hard but couldn't even finish a piece of adobe. In his eyes, she became capable?

Zheng Xinyue grinned. It was much harder than she imagined. The shovel was stained with mud and fell a lot along the way. The actual shovel was not even half a shovel, and it could not fill a wooden frame.

 “I must finish this piece of adobe today.”

Zheng Xinyue said unyieldingly, carrying the empty shovel and returning to fill the mud. This time she mastered a little skill, holding the shovel head up so that half of the mud would not be spilled.

Finally, Zheng Xinyue finally made a piece of adobe. When she carefully removed the wooden frame and the mud did not spread, she smiled proudly.

"Nothing is unachievable."

Because of her interference, Master San's work progress tonight was not even half of what he did every day. He was mainly afraid that mosquitoes would bite Xinyue, and he was also afraid that a squirrel would suddenly appear at night and scare her.

 At night, Zheng Xinyue took a bath in the space, and the pain in her arms disappeared.

She became more and more convinced that the river water had healing properties.

The next morning, Zheng Chengbao went into the mountains early in the morning. When the rooster crowed, he had already returned with a fat rabbit.

“Xinyue, look what the third brother has brought back to you?”

Zheng Chengbao called out to his sister as soon as he entered the door and couldn't wait to show it to her.

"Live?"

Zheng Xinyue heard the third brother's shout and ran out of the house. She saw that the third brother was holding a big gray chubby rabbit in his hand. The rabbit's eyes were frightened and its body was moving around, but its ears were pulled by Zheng Chengbao. In the hand it simply cannot run.

 “Why is its belly so big?”

Zheng Xinyue noticed something different and moved over to take a closer look.

“Those who have cubs, wait until they have given birth to cubs before killing them and eating the meat.”

Zheng Chengbao smiled and told his sister that it was because the rabbit was pregnant that he did not kill it immediately and wanted to bring it back to make his sister happy.

“That’s great, but where can I put it? Rabbits can dig holes.”
