Mu Yangling hid the rabbits in the pile of firewood and carried it back. Madam Ma-Liu was bringing Xiuhong to tidy up the private plot of land behind the house used for planting vegetables. Madam Ma-Liu planned to tidy it up first and sow the vegetable seeds when the weather turned warmer.
After placing the firewood in the kitchen, Mu Yangling secretly placed the two rabbits at the door. She waved at Xiuhong who was standing at the back of the house.
Xiuhong glanced at her grandmother before sneaking back. "Cousin, what's the matter?"
"I've hunted two rabbits. Bring them with you when you bring Xiulan to pick up firewood later. When you come back, say that you picked them up in the mountains."
Xiuhong's mouth fell open. "You can even pick up rabbits?"
