In a village of Lijiazi, on the edge of a third-tier city in the middle of the Celestial Empire, it is getting late in November, and the early winter sun is always shy to hide in the thick clouds.

The weather forecast for the next few days is that there is another stream of cold air heading south. It will sweep across the land of China. Heavy snow has already begun to fall in the north.

The south is not much better, although there is no snow, but here in Lijiazi Village, the minimum temperature has reached 5 or 6 degrees Celsius. When people go out, they have to wrap themselves in three layers and three layers outside.

Southerners have said to northerners: "The north doesn't understand the cold of the south", and some netizens said: "The northern cities rely on heating for heating, and the southern coastal cities rely on sunshine for heating. ”

Now Lijiazi Village has to rely on its own heroic righteousness to resist the cold weather.

At five o'clock in the afternoon of this day, Li Yufei hugged himself like a bun, he watched the sky getting late, and was about to make today's dinner. Otherwise, my parents will come back later.

In this winter when the north wind is blowing, Li Yufei doesn't want to take advantage of the cold water, otherwise his hands will be frozen again. Li Yufei opened the refrigerator door and took a look, it was empty, there was nothing, he could only sigh, and was ready to go to the field to get some fresh vegetables back, even if he didn't want to, there was no way.

Who told him to eat at night, so Li Yufei took a cold kitchen knife and a basin, and prepared to go to the vegetable field behind his house to chop a cabbage and come back.

"Wangwang" Li Yufei, who was about to open the door of the backyard, immediately stopped, how could he forget this ancestor.

may have seen that the owner was about to go out, and the puppy, who had been locked up for a day, ran to Li Yufei's feet, kept wagging its cute tail, and even leaned his head towards the door, making a 'woo' sound. It means that Li Yufei can let it out.

If you want to go to the avenue, she has taken a fancy to another female dog in the village, and she hasn't seen it for a few days, but she believes it tightly, but this unscrupulous owner has locked himself in the house all day long, which makes her dog body how to live. Finally, when the owner opened the door, why did it take the opportunity to go out?

Li Yufei looked at the half-big dog who was cute and well-behaved in front of him, and he was also amused. This dog has been raised at home for a few months, and now it weighs more than 30 pounds, this is not a precious dog, it is a local dog picked up by Li Yufei in the village, also called a Chinese pastoral dog, and no one in the city wants to raise them. However, in the vast countryside, farmers raise almost all of these dog breeds.

The Chinese Pastoral Dog, commonly known as "Earth Dog" and "Shiba Dog", is a dog breed that has been selected naturally and artificially for thousands or even tens of thousands of years in China. Qin Shi Huang ruled the Central Plains, and it is said that he was holding this kind of dog. In the Han people, people call it "earth dog", as the name suggests, it is the dog of the local region; Some places in the north are also called "Shiba Dogs", because the climate in the north is cold, dogs will generally nest next to the firewood stove or firewood pile; The Dongfang Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions are generally called "grass dogs", because the local farmers will keep one or two such dogs as housekeeping companions, and their main activity range during the day is grassland and other places.

Because of its docile personality, Chinese pastoral dogs are not easy to take the initiative to attack humans, can live in groups, have a strong status, are easy to raise, have high loyalty, and are not prone to skin diseases. It was widely used in rural wardens and early hunting.

There are also a lot of people in Lijia Village who raise this kind of dog, originally Li Yufei They usually put the dog outside to let it run around, but isn't it winter, many people began to eat dog meat hot pot, and this local dog is the best choice for brushing hot pot, there are many such dogs in the countryside, so there are many unscrupulous people, every day they ride a motorcycle, run to the countryside to fight dogs.

When you hit it, you can run away with it, even if it is discovered by others, there is no way to take them, a few days ago Li Yufei heard that many dogs in the village were lost. So he gave his dog at home, anyway, his backyard is also very big, and he is not afraid of it running around.

But this wild dog, where is it so easy to shut up, this is not when Li Yufei opens and closes the door every day, this dog will always try his best to go out, and I don't know if he is afraid of being locked up, or if he wants to meet his 'girlfriend'.

Looking at the dog that kept scurrying at his feet, Li Yufei stopped his steps, squatted down, and gently touched its head, the puppy was also very cooperative to make a look of enjoyment, and even stretched out its tongue and licked it on Li Yufei's hand to show its closeness. Li Yufei didn't want his hands to be wet by it, it was strangely cold.

So he patted it lightly on the head and said, "Go in, don't go out." Then Li Yufei didn't care about him, and after driving it aside, he quickly opened the door, walked out, and quickly closed the gate.

Ignoring the puppy that kept banging on the door to protest inside, Li Yufei whistled and walked into the ground. Li Yufei's vegetable plots are all behind their house, and the house is all theirs. Now there are a lot of seasonal vegetables in the vegetable field.

However, in this season, if there is no greenhouse, there are only cabbage, side vegetables, oily wheat vegetables and other ordinary vegetables, but fortunately, there is still a lot of meat in the lower layer of the refrigerator, at noon, Li Yufei took some cut balls out to thaw, and now get another vegetable, and then cook a soup for dinner.

But when he walked to the field, he couldn't help frowning when he saw that a lot of Chinese cabbage that had just begun to be wrapped had been gnawed off by mice. In recent years, rats have become more and more rampant, and sometimes a lot of vegetables in the field will be gnawed off in one night. Not only theirs, but he looked at the neighbor's vegetable patch, which was similar to theirs.

Fortunately, their family didn't think about selling these dishes, so they deliberately planted a variety of dishes, obviously experienced parents had long expected such a situation, but for Li Yufei, it was still very distressing to see so many dishes being ruined. After all, these are all grown by the hard work of the parents.

But even if he is distressed, what can he do, they don't have cats at home, and even if they put some rat poison in the ground, I don't know if they have poisoned a few mice, but the effect is not very obvious Anyway, they still eat it.
