Chapter 3 It Eats It

Summer vacation is always the happiest time for our family, and a family of four can be happily together.

When I was six years old, my brother wanted to raise a dog, and I wanted to raise ducklings. Mom brought back a black puppy from a relative's house, it was a small earth dog, the whole body was black hair, including the eyes were black, and I didn't pay attention to it and thought that the dog didn't have eyes, so I named it Heihe. The village came to sell ducklings, and my father and I carefully selected three ducklings, the three ducklings were fluffy, all over the body were yellow, and the ducklings had duck webpers on their feet, orange and yellow, and they walked with their buttocks swinging, which was very cute!

The ducklings were released into the backyard, and I stayed in the backyard whenever I had time to watch the ducklings, and I had to hum quietly: I have a flock of ducklings in the production team, and I drive them to the pond every morning...... I even laughed at the ducklings that they would be cold at night, and I wanted to carry them to sleep under the covers, and my parents laughed at me.

After a few days, Hei Hey was already familiar with everything at home, running around and happy. But my ducklings are getting wilting more and more, and I feel very sad when I look at the wilting ducklings. Tearfully said to my father: "The ducklings are not happy, will they die?" Dad said that the ducklings like water, and there is no water in our backyard, so the ducklings are not used to it. I asked my father, "What should I do?" and he thought about it and said, "Let's build a pond for it." I jumped up with joy, clapping my hands and shouting, "Fix the pond... Repair the pond...

Early the next morning, we were ready to repair the pond, I happily followed behind my father, my brother gave my father a hand, and my brother followed behind Heihe, who kept wagging his tail and jumping around.

Dad first dug a big hole, less than 2 meters in diameter and less than 40 centimeters deep. Dad leveled the bottom of the pit with a small shovel. About one morning, the pond was dug up, and I excitedly said that I wanted to release the water, and my father laughed and said, "If the water is put in now, it will seep into the soil." You have to beat it with cement.

Patiently waited until the next day, Dad was busy all morning, and the pond was plastered with a layer of cement. What surprised me the most was that Dad had built four steps to make it easier for the ducklings to go up and down. After the repair, I shouted excitedly: release the water......

Dad was covered with beads of sweat and said with a smile: "Not yet, the cement has to solidify, wait for two more days."

The child's wait is always long, I watch it many times a day to see if it is solidified, and report to my father. Dad always smiled and said: Don't worry, it takes time to solidify.

Finally waited for the water to be released, a bucket of water was poured into it only a little bit, bucket after bucket, I don't know how many buckets were poured, the water level was about 30 centimeters deep, Dad finally said: Okay, you can put your duckling......

I drove the three ducklings to the edge of the little pond, and none of them dared to go down. There is no way, I picked up one, gently put it into the water, the ducklings began to be a little frightened, and then began to swim; the ducklings by the pond still did not dare to go down, I let them go down one by one, three ducklings began to swim in the pond, the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, shining in this small courtyard, there was a small stool by the pond, I put my hands on my cheeks and watched the ducklings swim around in the small pond; my brother and Hei Hey were playing and running next to them; Mom and Dad stood at the door and watched us smile happily......

My ducklings grew day by day, pouting and going down the steps to the small pond and up the small steps to swagger around the backyard for food.

Dad said that ducklings love to eat earthworms the most, and whenever it rains, I mobilize my friends to dig earthworms for the ducklings in the field, store the soil in an iron can, and bury the iron cans in the soil to store them and feed the ducklings. At that time, my favorite song was: I had a flock of ducklings in the production team, and I drove them to the pond every morning, and the ducklings quacked......

Hei Hey is also growing up under the care of his brother, I also love Hei Hey, but the duck is the first love, the dog's perception is the strongest, it seems to know that the brother in this family loves it the most, so it is inseparable from my brother.

One afternoon, the ducklings were swimming leisurely in the pond, I prepared dinner for the ducklings, when I pushed open the backyard door, I saw Hei Hey standing by the pond, looking at the ducklings blankly, that kind of demeanor, different from usual, I laughed at Hei Hey who also wanted to swim, Hei Hey saw me, and ran away. I didn't think much about it, I threw three earthworms in the pond, and I was very happy to see the ducklings fighting for me, the most powerful duckling could always grab two earthworms to eat, and the smaller duck could not grab it. Every time, I threw an earthworm into the youngest duckling, and watched it eat it in a hurry, and I muttered: Slow down, no one will rob you......

That night, my father said that he would leave his relatives tomorrow, so he would go to bed early at night and get up early tomorrow and leave after breakfast. I asked my dad if I could bring my duckling? Dad smiled and said, "How do you bring the duckling?"

My brother asked, "Can you bring Hei Hey?" Dad said, "What if Hei Hey screams and scares others?" Hei Hey stays at home and looks after the house.

"Daddy, my little duckling is going to be hungry?" I protested.

Dad said, "Put enough food on both the ducklings and the black hey, they won't go hungry." ”

My brother and I fought several times, and my father's tone was very resolute, and we found that it was impossible to take Hei Hey and the duckling to go with our relatives, and we could only do it sullenly.

Visiting relatives generally have a lot of delicious food, there must be my favorite sweet potato balls, but that day I felt that nothing was delicious, I was unhappy, and I wanted to go home early to see my duckling......

The adults babbled and talked about some common things, always endlessly, and finally in the afternoon, Dad finally pushed the bike, and we could go home.

"It's home....... I didn't care about the numbness in my legs the moment I jumped off the bike, and I ran to the backyard like a flying horse. But my ducklings were not in the pond, nor in the chicken shed, and I had searched for the hut, no, no, and I cried aloud, and my ducklings were gone, and my ducklings were gone.....

Father, mother, and brother rushed to the backyard when they heard the noise, and everyone searched together, but they couldn't find it.

In the end, Dad's eyes fell on Hei Hey, who was hiding in the corner, and Dad silently walked over, touched Hei Hey's belly, and whispered: The little duck was eaten by Hei Hey.

I cried, my mother hugged me, and I didn't know how to comfort me who was shivering. I remembered the way I saw Hei He, standing by the pond and staring intently at the duckling, who had already wanted to eat the duckling, but didn't have the chance, and I cried even louder when I thought of it......

Dad picked up a small whip and whipped Hei Hey a few times, and Hei Hey snorted a few times. The elder brother stood silently behind his mother.

That night, Dad returned Hei Hey to a relative's house, I lost my duckling, and my brother lost his Black Hey.

I didn't want to go to the backyard anymore, and my dad filled the pond. From that point on, I didn't like dogs anymore, and I think I probably won't be able to change it for the rest of my life.
