Lu Quan was afraid that the rabbit would dig a hole in the ground and escape, so he took the time to make a rabbit hutch before dark.

I even went to find wild vegetables and came back to feed the rabbits.

If Li Ruzhen had known earlier that he would not kill the rabbit to eat, but would keep it, she would not have chosen such a big fat rabbit for him.

Lu Quan was busy at home and settled the rabbits, and the next day he went to set the trap to check if there were any prey.

Although there is no harvest, the family does not have to worry about food. There are many chickens, rabbits and fish hanging on the beams.

After I came back, I watered the vegetable patch at home and fed the rabbits, then I went down the mountain with the chopped bamboo in my arms.

The door of Li Ruzhen's house is open, and you can see her busy inside at a glance.

Lu Quan stood at the door and shouted twice. When he saw Li Ruzhen looking over, he entered.

"Brother Lu, why are you holding so many bamboos?"

Li Ruzhen was sweeping the floor. When she saw Lu Quan, she straightened up, stopped her movements and asked.

"I see you have cages of rabbits, and your yard is not big. If you keep more rabbits, there will be no place for them to stay in the yard."

Lu Quan said, placing a large bundle of thin bamboos on the ground.

"Let me build a shelf for you. If you build it three or four floors like this, you will be able to place more rabbit cages in the future."

As Lu Quan spoke, he made gestures with his hands to show to Li Ruzhen.

Li Ruzhen's eyes immediately lit up when she heard this. This was a good idea.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Ruzhen did not refuse, "Well, please, Brother Lu. Let's have dinner here at noon. I'll make more."

Lu Quan grinned, wishing for it!

He immediately agreed.

It had been more than half a day since Lu Quan finished his homework at home, and it was only more than an hour before noon.

So by the time Li Ruzhen cooked the stewed rice and brought it out, Lu Quan's shelf was only half set.

"Brother Lu, you can eat now."

Li Ruzhen directly gave Lu Quan a bowl full of stewed rice, and the two of them sat at the door of the main room in a cool place to eat.

The gate to the yard is still open, and passers-by can see what the people in the yard are doing.

But in the village, even if it was like this, people would still have wild thoughts when they saw Lu Quan coming to work for Li Ruzhen.

Before Lu Quan came, Li Ruzhen was alone at home, and she could hear people walking around by the wall outside at night.

There were also some widowers and bachelors hanging around the door during the day.

But since the tall and strong Lu Quan came to help with the work, this situation has become much less common.

Li Ruzhen looked at Lu Quan's tall and thick back, thoughtfully, pulling at the rice with various movements.

It is difficult for a woman to survive alone in the world without the protection of her brothers and elders. There are many dangers.

Lu Quan still didn't know what Li Ruzhen was thinking, but he only thought that the food Li Ruzhen cooked was really delicious.

He also makes bacon and fish himself, basically steaming it and eating it with rice.

This is the first time to eat braised rice. It contains bacon, green beans, and corn kernels. It tastes delicious.

After eating, I felt more energetic and spent another hour finally setting up the shelf.

After setting it up, Lu Quan grabbed the shelf and tried to shake it. Seeing that it was indeed strong, he helped Li Ruzhen put the rabbit cages on the shelf one by one.

From now on, when Li Ruzhen feeds the rabbits, she will stand in front of the rows of rabbit cages and open them one by one to maintain them without having to bend down.

On rainy days, it rains heavily, so you don’t have to worry about drowning the rabbits.

After tidying up like this, the shed suddenly felt much emptyer.

After the frame was built, Lu Quan saw that there was no more firewood, so he chopped another pile of firewood and put it on top.

Li Ruzhen is weaving bamboo baskets, rabbit cages, etc. in the yard. She is good at craftsmanship and clever. She can weave various patterns into a rabbit cage.

This is for taking little rabbits to sell on the street and pretending to be little rabbits. Many girls and children will be attracted by this rabbit and cannot walk. It is also because of the rabbit cage. It is a bit like buying a coffin for a pearl.

When Lu Quan finished his work, a wet and wrung sweat towel was handed over, and after wiping the sweat, he was handed a bowl of mung bean soup.

"Miss Azhen, this firewood should be enough for you for a while, but you often need to clean the rabbits and use a lot of water. The water in the water tank should only last two or three days. If it is not enough, call me."

Lu Quan turned around three times with each step.

Li Ruzhen responded.

Finally, before Lu Quan stepped out, he stood still at the door. He turned around, looked at Li Ruzhen, and said, "Azhen, have you ever thought about finding another man?"

Li Ruzhen opened her mouth and said, "I thought my intention of staying with you for dinner was clear enough."

Lu Quan was stunned for a moment, then he showed his big white teeth, his eyes narrowed when he smiled, and his bluffing aura was gone.

"Well, then I'll find a matchmaker to come to your door in two days to propose marriage. You wait for my good news."

After saying that, he saw Li Ruzhen nodding with a smile before leaving.

Li Ruzhen stood at the door, looking at Lu Quan's back until he could no longer see her, then closed the door.

It is impossible to say that Li Ruzhen had deep feelings for Lu Quan.

It's just that this is the most suitable choice for her. First of all, she doesn't hate Lu Quan, and she even has a good impression of Lu Quan. In fact, she has also considered it.

She is a married woman. Although she is in name only, her reputation is not very good. In addition, because the Li family adds fuel to the fire, she has a bad reputation for being a scapegoat.

As for Lu Quan, although his parents are gone and he only has a thatched hut at home, he is good at hunting. Judging from our interactions these days, he is not very talkative, but he has a good personality and is hardworking and capable.

Li Ruzhen had seen many lazy men in the village, who were serving as men in vain and had to be taken care of by their mothers-in-law at home and outside the house.

Learning from the experience of picking up a man and bringing him home, Li Ruzhen thought about it comprehensively this time before settling on Lu Quan.

If she didn't have the intention, how could Li Ruzhen let Lu Quan come in and out of her home again and again to do work for her.

Lu Quan returned home, picked up the rabbit in the nest, rubbed it, and walked around the house. Finally, he put the rabbit down and took out a tattered purse from the closet.

He poured out the silver from his purse and lay down under the bed. He dug a hole under the bed, tossed it and took out a wooden box.

Finally, when I opened the box, there were three fifty taels of silver in it. There were broken pieces of silver everywhere in my purse. I counted, and there were probably six or seven taels of silver.

This is all his belongings.

Previously, it was because he was the only one in the family, he was a grown man, he had a shelter from the wind and rain, and he was self-sufficient in food and drink. He basically had nothing to spend money on. Part of the money was left by his parents. There was also money he had saved from hunting and selling prey.

Lu Quan didn't quite understand the etiquette process of proposing a marriage. After thinking about it, he realized that there was a matchmaker in the village.
