26. Chapter XXVI
Zeng Tong turned his head and thought about it again, maybe this puppy didn't come out of the egg. When I first got this space, it was very similar to the penguin game I played, and Zeng Tong had a pet dog in the game at that time, so maybe the pet would take time to appear?
Although he was thinking about this, Zeng Tong's hand moved quickly, and he directly reached out to pick out the puppy inside.
In the past, neighbors and friends at home had puppies, but Zeng Tong was afraid that he would not have the ability and time to take care of them, so he never had a pet. When I was a child, my father and mother also asked Zeng Tong a few times, but they all got a negative answer, and I didn't pay attention to this problem anymore, and there were no pets at home.
Zeng Tong had also touched other people's puppies, but it was the first time that he was so small. The ball that was taken out was soft and warm, and it made Zeng Tong's palm warm.
Gently touching the puppy, Zeng Tong saw that it seemed to be still asleep, and it didn't wake up when it was held like this.
Zeng Tong decided in his heart that whether it was a pet attached to his space or an egg born in it, since they were all here, he would keep it himself, and in the future, he would no longer be alone in the space, but also have a companion.
Carefully putting the puppy back in its place, Zeng Tong observed it for a while and found that it slept quite soundly, except for occasional kicking, there was no other abnormality.
Zeng Tong seems to have heard some dog owners say that it may be a dream for a puppy to sleep and kick his feet. But tomorrow I still ask the little cousin them, there seem to be a lot of people who raise dogs in the village, although the dogs here are mainly pointed to them to take care of the home, but they are all canines, and the breeding method should be similar.
It's more difficult to find a chance to enter the space in the past few days when I go back to my hometown, so counting this time, it is the third time Zeng Tong has come in in the past 2 days, and the previous two times were in a hurry, watering the plants and going out.
In a relatively unfamiliar place, Zeng's mother will worry that her daughter will not adapt to it, so she will come to see it from time to time, so Zeng Tong is afraid that the family will come to find her, so she doesn't dare to lock the door, so she naturally can't stay in the space.
This time after attending the wedding banquet, Zeng Tong felt that everyone was tired, and he should sleep a little more soundly tonight, so he boldly decided to stay in the space for a longer time, but this situation appeared as soon as he came in.
Then Zeng Tong inspected the fields in the space and replanted the leafy vegetables that he had decided to replant for a round. Because there is an extra puppy in the space, Zeng Tong's movements are inevitably much lighter when he is working, for fear of making him sleep. Because the sound of the cart was a little loud when it was used, Zeng Tong didn't use the cart this time, and the vegetables and fruits picked by Zeng Tong were placed directly on the edge of the field, planning to wait for the puppy to wake up and then use the cart to move back to the hut for storage.
After harvesting vegetables and fruits, Zeng Tong came to the fish pond, the fish in the fish pond were still the same as before, even if one was caught, the other fish were still leisurely, and there was no sense of crisis at all.
Zeng Tong thought happily in his heart: "If that one is delicious at noon, you will be reunited with it soon, hehe." ”
Before leaving the space, Zeng Tong went to look at the bees again, now the hive is already the size of a melon, there are a lot of bees flying on it, it is estimated that there is some honey inside, but I don't know how to get it down then, Zeng Tong licked his lips thinking about the sweet honey.
After coming out, Zeng Tong took a look at the mobile phone on the bedside, and the time was nearly 11 o'clock in the evening. I rushed to 2 banquets today, and just went into the space to harvest and work, Zeng Tong, who was not sleepy, began to slowly become heavy in his eyelids, and he pulled the towel to cover himself, and Zeng Tong soon fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Chenchen came to find Zeng Tong.
"Auntie, get up! Second grandma is going to kill the fish, the big fish we caught yesterday!" Chen Chen opened a crack in the door, lay on the side of the door with wide eyes, and shouted to Zeng Tong, who was still lying on the bed inside.
Chenchen had also been taught by adults before that he couldn't casually enter the girl's room, so he only stood at the door and called Zeng Tong.
Because it is in someone else's house, Zeng Tong has been wearing underwear even to sleep, although it is not good for the body to sleep and wear it for a long time, but the situation is special, and it is also to prevent this situation from happening now. No, a boy came to tell Zeng Tong to get up early in the morning, although he was not yet 8 years old.
"Hmm...... Really, I'll take a look at it when I brush my teeth. Zeng Tong immediately got up and walked out of the door to wash.
"Then hurry up, the second grandmother has taken out the knife. Chenchen seemed very anxious.
In fact, Chenchen was supported to tell Zeng Tong to get up, the scene of killing fish is a bit bloody and not suitable for children, it is estimated that when Zeng Tong cleans up himself and goes to the next door, the small fish are all cleaned up, and the big fish should be about the same.
Because Chenchen kept urging on the side, Zeng Tong hurriedly brushed his teeth and washed his face and went out, and he didn't have time to change the T-shirt and shorts he wore when he slept, but the shorts were only 5 cm above his knees, which was not rude.
As soon as I walked to the door, I saw a few people standing on the faucet side of the compound, including Zeng's father, and a few familiar people, presumably neighbors nearby, talking about something on the side.
"This fish is so powerful! It deserves to come out of the reservoir. ”
"Yo, why isn't this fish dizzy after being knocked on the head?"
"Take the back of the big knife and try it two more times. ”
"But finally the food stopped, and the few little fish just now were not like this. ”
"Look at what you said, adult pigs and suckling pigs are not the same slaughtering method. ”
"It's the first time I've seen people kill fish for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen it so difficult. ”
As he spoke, the topic was a little off-topic.
"This fish is estimated to be quite tight, and now you can't find such a big fish in the creek, but you said that we should go to the upper reservoir and find the boss to buy 2?"
"If this fish is really good, it's not impossible, it's not like before when everyone was short of food, but now everyone has saved some in their hands, and it's no problem to eat a few fish." ”
"That's right, when the time comes, go to the reservoir to fish directly, and it is estimated that the price will be much cheaper than the market. ”
……
Listening to these conversations, Zeng Tong felt a little weak, even if he went to the reservoir, no one could get this fish. However, the meat quality of the fish raised in the reservoir should be good, so it is good to turn everyone's attention to that side. Zeng Tong thought of this, he didn't dare to make a sound the whole time, and quietly followed everyone to watch the fishing.
When Chen Chen and Zeng Tong arrived in front of the second uncle, the big fish had already been killed and ready to be cut, and the second aunt estimated that she usually didn't get any less of these, and when the knife fell, a big fish was divided into 5 parts.
"Xiaotong is here, wait for Uncle Niang to cook the fish for you for breakfast." The second aunt greeted Zeng Tong when she saw her.
"Well, it's been a long time since I've eaten my own fish. When Zeng Tong was a child, he also liked to follow his cousin and a group of them to play by the stream, and almost every time he could catch fish, he went home and cooked it to eat, which gave him a special sense of accomplishment.
"This big one can be more than 8 pounds, I will give it a share, and it will be put in the refrigerator when it is frozen, remember to bring it when you leave at noon." Try the big fish you caught with your own hands, too!" said the second aunt with a smile, and began to clean up the ground with neat movements.
"No, no, leave it to your family to eat, there is no car refrigerator in the car, this thing is not easy to bring. Great-father, who was on the side, heard this and hurriedly said.
"So I'll freeze it later, don't worry, it won't break for 3 or 4 hours on the road." ”
At this time, the little cousin also got up to brush his teeth, walked to the faucet to catch the water, heard the words of his great-father, and continued: "Anyway, Xiaotong also has a credit for catching this fish, how can I not take it back and taste it?" Don't worry, if grandpa still wants to eat it, I will catch it again, anyway, I often come back." ”
Seeing that he couldn't push it, Zeng's father finally agreed, and took one back when he left.
Originally, Zeng Tong's family was afraid that the sun would be too big and too hot in summer, so they planned to leave early, and the original plan was to leave after breakfast and arrive home at 1 or 2 o'clock at noon.
When I got up this morning, the sky was cloudy, and I heard the second aunt say that the weather forecast was cloudy and overcast, and there was no sun, so my great-father decided to set off later, so I didn't have to rush too much.
Then everyone went into the house and sat for a while, and the second aunt called everyone to have breakfast, and everyone went to the restaurant one after another to sit.
In the morning, I ate dried vegetable porridge, and the side dishes were small fish caught yesterday and all kinds of pickles, and the taste of these small fish was very good, Zeng Tong ate 2 bowls of porridge before letting go. The elders in the family have been persuading them to eat more, Zeng Tong smiled and declined, but he didn't dare to say that he wanted to lose weight, otherwise so many elders would be able to bear it.
After breakfast, everyone sat around and chatted, eating watermelon and cantaloupe brought by my aunt's house.
The second grandfather's watermelon was eaten last night, it turned out that after coming back last night, Chenchen said that he hadn't eaten the watermelon, and the second aunt cut a few slices for him, but Chenchen didn't stop eating it, the elders saw that children love to eat, in addition to persuading them not to hold on, they will stop it, and finally Chenchen ate the last little watermelon left in the second grandfather's house. When the little cousin came back, he knew that it was a pain in his flesh, but he deliberately set aside the small half of the watermelon, intending to satisfy his hunger the next day.
If you still want to eat watermelon in the morning, there is only half of the watermelon left from my aunt's house and a cantaloupe that has not yet opened. The 2 watermelons on the side of the big house, I heard that I didn't keep them that night and ate them.
Then the little cousin cheekily went to find his aunt, and when my aunt saw that everyone liked it so much, she brought everything from the house, and the fruit in the morning after dinner had watermelon and cantaloupe for everyone to eat together.
This time, everyone didn't keep their hands, they all knew that after eating these, they wouldn't be able to see such good melons for a while, and these melons were quickly resolved. Of course, everyone still left a large piece of everything to honor their aunt and grandmother.
Because it was Monday, many relatives and friends who were close to them went back after having a wedding banquet last night, and Zeng's father had adjusted his annual leave before, so he was not in a hurry to get on the road.
At about 11 o'clock, Zeng's mother and second aunt were preparing lunch in the kitchen. Considering that Zeng Tong's family went back after eating at noon, and the lunch was a little lighter, they were afraid that the taste would be uncomfortable on the road, so the big fish took the head and tail of the fish and made a tofu soup.
The head and tail of the fish are first stewed with oil and then added with water, so that the soup is milky white and fragrant after the pot, and the tofu is put in it and simmered slowly, and the soup is thick when eating, and the smooth and tender tofu with the soup also becomes extremely delicious.
After eating this pot, everyone praised this fish, saying that they couldn't imagine that the fish in the reservoir was so delicious.
A few days later, the villagers heard that the fish in the reservoir were very good, and many people went to buy fish from the upstream fish owner of the reservoir. A few people who have eaten space fish before, I feel that although the reservoir fish I bought back tastes a little worse than the previous one, I didn't care too much, I estimated that it was the first time I ate it, and I beautified it a lot. Although the fish in the reservoir are not as good as the fish produced in Zeng Tong's space, they are also much better than the fish ponds on the market, and the boss who contracted the reservoir was quickly diverted from thinking about the momentary things. None of this will be mentioned for the time being.
After eating at noon, Zeng Tong's family took a short rest and started on the road.
G City, we're back!
