Chapter 4: If Your Father Fools You

If your father fools you, what should you do? He's your father, and you can't beat or scold him......

It seems like...... The only way to do this was to knock out the tooth and swallow it in the stomach......

——

Reaching out to take the piece of paper, Qin Xiaomao read it slowly:

Little hair! When you see the message, your dad is already out of the house!

O son! You don't have to worry! (I said it for your mother)

Do you remember what your father and I told you on the phone when you were about to come back, and how to repay the favor?

In fact, this matter is a bit complicated, and it is a little unclear for a while, so I won't talk about it for the time being......

The important thing at hand at the moment is to take care of the two acres of land in our backyard! You can't starve your daughter-in-law, can you?

Ahem, speaking of this daughter-in-law, it's complicated again! That's not going to be talked about for now......

Anyway, don't blame me and your mom for being selfish! You have to understand me and your mother! After all, your mother and I are not young anymore, and there is only one son like you, who will not be able to move the place when he is old in the future, and it will be difficult for you to take care of it in other places. Even if you can come from out of town or pick us up, it will be more burdensome for you, so you might as well just take care of your immediate business......

Okay, you old man, I won't talk nonsense! I think with your IQ you must be able to understand your old man's painstaking efforts, what is written below are some things that are very important to you, please take a closer look!

Qin Xiaomao: A rough list of the items you have in your hands:

A 56-square-meter iron-covered tiled house: connected to cable TV, the fishing nets that you young people like are tinkering with by yourself, and the 1,500 yuan left behind is considered to give you this money.

There are four housekeeping dogs: one earth dog, named Rhubarb. There are two wolf dogs, called the big wolf and the second wolf. A pet dog in the house, named Dahei.

A donkey: responsible for pulling the mill (now because the grinding plate at home has long been broken has taken a back seat, when a happy care, occasionally make a cameo appearance to plough the back two acres of the garden).

A cattle: mainly responsible for cultivating two acres of land in the back garden. (Donkeys and cattle are bought after you go to college, you don't know your temperament, scalpers are very unaccustomed to donkeys, don't let the two get too close, or your son will have a big head.) The rest of the land outside the garden has been contracted out, so you don't have to worry about it......

Ducks: 20, 1 male, 18 females. On average, fifteen to eighteen eggs are laid a day in summer.

Native chickens: 50, 2 males, 48 females. The average summer lays forty to forty-eight eggs a day.

Fat pigs: Three (you are only responsible for feeding them, waiting for the New Year to be killed or sold!) )

Please note that the above animal feeding methods are detailed at the end.

Donkey pens, pigsties, chicken racks, duck racks, dog kennels, etc., are all in the backyard of the house, so you can go and see for yourself in detail.

Two acres of land: There are a lot of seasonal vegetables growing now, which is one of your main sources of income.

Size cabbage: about ten ridges,

Green onions: about ten ridges,

Tomatoes: about ten ridges,

Small peppers: about 10 ridges

Scallions: About 10 ridges

Beans: About 10 ridges

Cucumbers: about 10 ridges

Sunflowers: Several

Fruit trees that do not bear fruit all year round: several

There are some others that I haven't had time to write, so I read them carefully.

Xiaomao, please note: vegetables are seasonal vegetables, please pick and sell in time to prevent old people from not being able to sell and bad in the ground.

……

Before he saw the livestock breeding method in the back, Qin Xiaomao was completely awake, and immediately hugged his head and wailed: "This old man who is out of tune, I know that this may be a trap!" Oh my god, that's true!! No, I'll have to call and ask......"

Qin Xiaomao's mobile phone ran out of battery, so he could only pick up the old-fashioned landline at home and quickly press the old man's mobile phone number......

To Qin Xiaomao's surprise, the old man actually answered his call!

"Hey, who's that!!"

"Still pretending to be confused, who do you say I am!" Qin Xiaomao said angrily

"Ah, it's Xiao Mao! What's the matter? ”

What else do you ask? Qin Xiaomao became even more angry, rubbed his more messy hair vigorously, and said almost madly: "Let my mother answer the phone......"

"Your mother...... Ah, she's not there! Well, Xiaomao, you can work with peace of mind! You don't have to worry about your father and mother, don't worry, the national policy has been good in the past few years, our family has contracted out the land since you went to college, and you have some savings over the years, and your mother and I will not starve to death outside!! Rest assured! ”

Oops, I'll go! Even if you have savings at home, you can't starve to death, but I will take care of such a big mess at home? I, a big living person, don't talk about it for the time being, I'm not afraid that those chickens, ducks, geese and dogs will starve to death? Qin Xiaomao suddenly wanted to die.

The old man on the other end of the phone seemed to be able to hear what was in his heart, and said comfortingly with a smile: "Son, now you know how hard it is for your father and me and your mother to raise you so much!" It's not easy for you to work outside this year, and you should also experience it! Well, don't be discouraged, maybe someone will help you in a day or two...... Hey! ”

"Who?" Ignoring the old man's pretended mysterious gesture, Qin Xiaomao immediately asked

"Don't leak it!" The old man hung up the phone

"Hey, Hey, ......"

"Doodoo ......"

"I'm sorry the user you dialed can't be reached for the time being, please dial again later!"

"You unobtrusive old man......!!"

Qin Xiaomao is so angry!!

This old man actually answered his phone once, and he couldn't answer no matter how much he called!!

But no matter how angry he was, Qin Xiaomao could only put down the phone helplessly, as for the daughter-in-law in the clouds, repaying kindness or something, he didn't have a chance to ask at all......

Looking at the series of panting things written on the piece of paper left by the old man, Qin Xiaomao couldn't help but grow his head and two big, "It seems that this old man really plans not to come back for a long time!" This heart is really ruthless! Don't be afraid to starve your son to death! Even if your son doesn't starve to death, you don't worry about these chickens, ducks, geese and dogs starving to death? ”

"Wang, Wang......" Before Qin Xiaomao could complain further, a dog barking interrupted him

Qin Xiaomao looked down and saw that it was the big black who was included in the list of old men.

This pet dog with yellow and black hair on his body, that is, Da Hei, is a dog that has been in Qin Xiaomao's house since he was about to take the college entrance examination, and his age has been more than ten years, and he is very spiritual.

"Are you hungry?"

"Woo ......"

"Forehead...... Although he knew that his dog had spirituality, Qin Xiaomao was still stunned, "Little big black, you really don't look like a dog anymore......"

Saying that, Qin Xiaomao squatted down, carefully looked at this former playmate who he hadn't seen for five or six years, and his mood was a little better

"Alas, the years are really a pig-killing knife, look at your beard is white......" Picking up the obedient puppy head, Qin Xiaomao saw the extremely dazzling white beard on its mouth at a glance

"Wangwang......" After Da Hei enjoyed making a pleasing appearance very much, he broke free from Qin Xiaomao's fiddling, stared at a pair of pure dog eyes, and called at him twice

"This tooth is leaking...... Well, I'm going to get you something to eat! Rubbing his unkempt hair, Qin Xiaomao stood up

"Wow!!" Da Hei called twice more in a very human way, and then jumped up and down with great joy

"Hehe, don't worry, you old dog!" Saying that, Qin Xiaomao picked up the piece of paper left by the old man and looked at the animal feeding method at the bottom.

Feeding methods for dogs:

Xiaomao, generally feed the dog with leftovers, but we have more than one dog, so it won't work. Therefore, if you want to feed the dog, you must first cook the dog's rice.

Don't worry, go out and find the shelter from the rain, there is a big black pot underneath, and there is also firewood. Then you go to the next barn and find bud rice noodles and some large grains of salt, and then pour these things into the pot in a certain proportion, add water, and boil.

Qin Xiaomao's house is located at the 'urban-rural junction' of S City, a prefecture-level city, and the current sphere of influence not only includes more than two acres of land in the back garden, nearly 1,500 square meters, but also has two or three hundred square meters in the front yard, which is enough to fit a few tanks.

The rain shelter that the old man said was located next to the wooden warehouse of the landlord in the front yard, and under this shed was a typical old-fashioned rural fire burning platform.

walked over, lifted the lid on the cooking table, and then a burnt smell came.

"Looks like the old man must have done this yesterday! I can even make a paste of dog rice!! Qin Xiaomao muttered with great disdain, then put down the things in front of him and walked to the locked wooden warehouse next to him.

After digging out the key again, trying seven or eight times to open the warehouse door, and taking out some of the ingredients for cooking dog rice written on the old man's list, Qin Xiaomao was ready to start his first experience of cooking for a dog in his life.

"Wang...... Barking! The big black shouted happily

Seeing the cheerful appearance of the puppy next to him, Qin Xiaomao suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart, but this feeling was just a flash, and he didn't care, and said to it with a smile: "Da Hei, everything has to have a process, right?" You're in such a hurry to urge me, in case it burns, don't blame me......"

"Wang ...... Woo ......" Da Hei called softly with great humanity, and then honestly lay down beside Qin Xiaomao

"You dog! In the next life, you can be a person, don't be a dog......" Qin Xiaomao smiled bitterly and combed his future and well-groomed hair, and continued to fiddle with the dog food in front of him

This job of cooking dog rice is actually completely untechnical, Qin Xiaomao only needs to fill the pot with things according to the method left by the old man, and then add firewood to the boiling pit, light it and wait for the pot to boil and add water a few times......

Soon, according to the instructions for making dog rice, Qin Xiaomao completed the preliminary work and lit the firewood.

Taking advantage of this effort, Qin Xiaomao was going to go to the back garden to have a look, after all, he had been away from home for a few years, and he was not clear about some changes in the backyard, not to mention anything else, the three new pigs and a donkey, a cow and two wolf dogs were not clear.

"Woo ......"

"Woo Woo Woo ............"

Qin Xiaomao got up and just walked a few steps when he heard a dog barking again, "It seems that those dogs in the backyard are hungry and barking again!" This old man, if I don't come back, when will I be the head of this day! Alas......"

Patting his head helplessly, Qin Xiaomao walked along the spacious aisle left by the side of the warehouse and the wooden wall next to the landlord's head, walked to a simple door made of wooden boards, and after pushing it open, he came to the backyard, and some unfamiliar scenes in the backyard immediately entered his sight.

Pushing open the door, the first thing he saw was a simple wooden door with a tight closure more than ten meters away facing the position where he was standing, which should be the door to the vegetable garden; Then, in this range of about 20 meters in length and width, there are three small pigsty and a large donkey pen on the left, a cowpen with a larger area on the right, and the chicken racks and duck racks are distributed in the closest position to Qin Xiaomao's house. The three dogs were tied not far from the pigsty and the cattle pen, and at this moment two wolf dogs were looking at him with unkind eyes and grinning teeth.

"You two are the big wolf and the second wolf in the old man's mouth!" Qin Xiaomao was extremely bored and said hello to these two unkind dogs

"Wow!! Hiss...... Wang ......"

"Cut! Small, you won't call Lao Tzu for two days if you're hungry! It's so good for you two to learn rhubarb, right? ”

The earth dog Rhubarb that Qin Xiaomao looked at while talking was also an old dog, at least six or seven years old. Seeing Qin Xiaomao's expression, he naturally wagged his tail very kindly......

Qin Xiaomao glanced around so roughly, and found that although the scene here had changed, it hadn't changed much, and he was bored and said a few words to the dog and turned around and prepared to go back, but he didn't take a few steps before he was stopped by a strange noise

"Moo!!" The old cow, who was originally quiet, suddenly let out a simple moan

"Hey, are you old cow also hungry to demonstrate, or do you have a problem with me not saying hello to you?" Qin Xiaomao turned around slightly and chuckled, not paying attention

"Generga, Generga!"

"You donkey, too?" Qin Xiaomao was a little puzzled

"Moo...... The old cow made a very honest voice again, and at the same time interrupted the goosebump-giving donkey's bark, which seemed to be a little out of touch with the donkey

"Hmph, hum, ......" The three little pigs also snorted loudly at this time

"Damn! I've never heard of a pig with a high IQ!! Qin Xiaomao felt that something was wrong

"Giggles! Giggle!! ”

"Quack, quack!"

After Qin Xiaomao's voice fell, the chickens and ducks echoed again.

Looking at and listening to the reactions of the various creatures in front of him almost at the same time, Qin Xiaomao suddenly had a feeling of unreality.
