Chapter 148: Dogs
Xu Shiyan trotted all the way to Li's house in the west of the village, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard the movement of the puppy in the house, and Xu Shiyan knew that the puppy was hungry as soon as he heard it.
"Uncle Li, auntie, are you all at home?" Xu Shiyan asked as he walked into the house.
Old Mrs. Li came out of the east house, and when she saw that it was Xu Shiyan, she was surprised and delighted.
"Oh, when did San'er come back?"
"Auntie, I just got home for a while, and I came to see how my Uncle Li was doing."
Xu Shiyan smiled at Mrs. Li and followed him into the East House.
Lao Li Tou can sit up now, and he sits on the kang with a pillow behind him.
There was a sack on the ground, and there were four puppies lying on it, two yellow and two black, and at a glance they knew that this was a rhubarb child.
"Hey, uncle's body is obviously strong, can he sit up? That's nice. ”
Xu Shiyan looked at it, Lao Li's complexion was okay, or else, the health of the older generation was really good.
With such a serious disease as cerebral hemorrhage, with the current medical conditions, Lao Li Tou can still get better little by little, and it really depends on his original good physique.
"Young, San'er, hurry, sit down, sit down and talk."
Lao Li Tou's speech was obviously stronger than before, and when he saw Xu Shiyan, he greeted him very cordially to sit down.
Xu Shiyan sat on the edge of the kang next to Lao Li's head, and looked at the puppies on the ground.
"Uncle, what's going on? Why did you get a dog again? These puppies don't look like they're full moon, how can they raise them? ”
"Alas, San'er, don't mention it. I'll make you Uncle Li sad to death.
You say that our family can afford to raise a dog with such conditions? Even if it's a full moon, we can't afford it, let alone this without a full moon.
I'm really worried about it, feeding rice soup is not useful, and the dog cubs are so hungry. Without waiting for Lao Li Tou to speak, Aunt Li spoke first.
"Rhubarb, Da Hei, and Da Qing were taken up the mountain by Li Ming and Li Gang's brothers, and the black blind man was in trouble.
There is no one in the team who is left with this litter of puppies, and your uncle has to come.
What do you think we can raise in this family? I'm busy enough to serve you Uncle Li all day, and I can't take care of it at all. ”
Mrs. Li probably had nowhere to talk, so when she saw Xu Shiyan, she complained to him.
As a result, as soon as he said this, the old Li Tou sitting on the kang burst into tears.
"My rhubarb and big black, which were all raised since childhood, are gone.
I, I'm going to have to feed their cubs anyway. ”
The old man has no children and no daughters, and he lives with his wife, and the dogs are just like his sons.
Now that the dogs are gone, he has no choice but to ask for these pups.
Xu Shiyan looked at Lao Litou, then at a few puppies on the ground, and sighed.
"Uncle Li, if you can trust me, can you sell me these pups?
We have cows and sheep in our team, and I can find a way to get milk and goat milk, and I can also feed these dogs. ”
The second brigade has a thick family background, but it is much stronger than the Dongjiang River, not only raising large livestock, but also a flock of sheep.
Xu Shiyan got along well with the people in the second brigade, and it shouldn't be difficult for him to ask for milk and goat milk from the people in charge of the livestock shed, or simply borrow a sheep to go home.
These puppies have been for more than 20 days, and as long as they are fed for more than ten days, they can be fed in the future, and they can be fed without feeding.
Rhubarb and Big Black are good dogs, and their cubs won't be bad.
Xu Shiyan originally had the intention of raising two dogs, but he couldn't find a good puppy cub.
Now that I see these four little ones, I remember the time when I took my dog into the mountains last winter.
The children of Rhubarb and Big Black, no matter what, he also has to be raised.
"Uncle and aunt, I didn't bring much money when I came back today, just fifty yuan, don't be too little for the two of you."
Xu Shiyan said, took out five sheets of great unity, and was about to stuff them into Lao Litou.
How could Lao Li ask for Xu Shiyan's money? Hurry up and wave your hand. "Don't, don't, we can't talk about money.
San'er, if you like them, then take them all away, uncle believes in you, you are a dog lover, you will definitely be able to take care of them. ”
Lao Li Tou said, tears fell again, he was really afraid that he would not be able to take care of the dogs, and these puppies died.
Xu Shiyan can hunt, but all good hunters are rare dogs, and they regard dogs as their lives.
Dogs can only be carefully cared for in the hands of such people.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of these dogs." Xu Shiyan solemnly assured the old couple.
"Yes, uncle believes you. Old woman, you find a house, put this little puppy on it, and let San'er take it away. We can't afford to raise them, San'er can. ”
Lao Li was reluctant, but he had no choice but to let the old woman find a house to pretend to be a dog.
Xu Shiyan took advantage of Lao Li's inattention and stuffed the money behind the pillow.
Mrs. Li went outside, found an old satchel, laid a broken sack in the basket, and then loaded the four puppies into the basket one by one.
The puppy woke up as soon as he moved and began to hum again.
Mrs. Li seemed a little reluctant, raised her hand and touched the heads of the puppies one by one, "Go, find you a good place, don't starve to death in me." ”
"Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely take care of them." Xu Shiyan looked at these four tiger-headed puppies, and liked them very much, these few grew up and could be good hunting dogs in the future.
Mrs. Li sighed and waved her hand, "Take it away, your uncle and I can trust you, this dog is in your hands, it will definitely grow into a big rhubarb and a big black dog." ”
Xu Shiyan took the basket, chatted with the old couple of the Li family for a few more words, and then carried the dog out of the Li family and went straight to the east of the village.
As for Lao Li Tou and Lao Mrs. Li, they didn't find the fifty yuan until the evening, but Xu Shiyan left early, so they could only keep the money.
"Ah, puppies, several puppies, they look so good."
As soon as Xu Shiyan carried the basket into the yard, Xu Jinfeng and Xu Jinxiu all surrounded them, looking at the few puppies in the basket curiously.
"The puppy is still too young, you can only look at it now, you can't touch it."
The older generation said that kittens and dogs are not always good to touch, and they are easy to get sick and get sick.
Especially these puppies are not yet full moon, if they are in the hands of the children, I am afraid that they will be rubbed to death by them after a while, so Xu Shiyan specially advised.
The children were also well-behaved, no one really touched them, only looked at the sleeping puppies in the basket with a look of surprise and excitement, and followed Xu Shiyan into the house with joy.
"Grandpa, grandma, my third uncle picked up several dogs."
Xu Jinxiu entered the house and hurriedly said, in the child's heart, such a small dog must have been picked up.
"Third child, you went out in a hurry, just for these pups? It's so small, how can you bring it back to feed? ”
Xu Chenghou stretched out his head and took a look, okay, the four puppies have been brought back, who can afford this?
"Dad, don't be afraid, I have a way to feed them, don't worry."
When I was a child, I went to feed some milk and goat's milk, and when I was older, the rice noodles were blanched, and I added some potatoes and pumpkins to it, and I could always feed it.
The harvest of the second brigade this year is okay, and his family has a small population, so he will definitely have surplus food to feed the dogs.
