"Mom, this bamboo forest is so big, does it mean there are still a lot of bamboo rats? Mom, why don't we catch all the bamboo rats tomorrow and keep them to eat slowly when we get home? I wonder if the bamboo forest behind the mountain in our village has bamboo water and bamboo rats."
If there are, then our family won't starve when we return home.
We can have meat soup every day.
Just the thought of having meat soup daily made Dalin swallow hungrily.
Yuan Chun responded with a nod, "Let's hide the cart in the bamboo forest today. Tomorrow, you all will join me in catching bamboo rats, and the day after tomorrow, bright and early, we'll start our journey back home."
Dalin and Sun Chunfeng responded happily.
Xiao Wu, who was nearly grown and often helped with farm work at home, came over, sat next to his grandma, and said, "Grandma, I also want to help catch bamboo rats."
