Song Tan had no idea how many gentlemen's hearts a cup of tea had broken. He only knew that his trip took a whole day and it was already six o'clock when he got home.
"It's been a long day."
After getting out of the car, Zhang Yanping stretched hard and felt that his whole body was stiff.
Then he touched his stomach and shouted: "Auntie, what are you going to eat tonight? I'm so hungry!"
Wulan still had tea-picking sleeves on his arms and came out of the kitchen with a big basin:
"I found a pig leg in the refrigerator. I forgot which year it was frozen, so I asked your uncle to chop it up—eat this tonight!"
Zhang Yanping now has no extravagant desire for meat. He just looked at her pitifully: "That purple milk vetch..."
Wulan laughed loudly: "I can't do without you. Tantan is so naughty. She won't eat it if it doesn't grow in the ground."
Song Tan also sighed, she didn't "don't eat it if it doesn't grow in the ground", it was clear that now, she could only accept this taste.
I've been home for a while and I haven't had a serious bite of meat. It's really sad to say it out loud.
Just as he was talking, Qiaoqiao suddenly cheered:
"What a big dog!"
Only then did Wulan remember that his prodigal daughter had gone out to buy someone else's dog today, saying that the puppy was not good enough and that someone had to keep an eye on it in the mountains and fields.
It's not that she doesn't understand this principle, but she does understand it, but whenever she thinks about spending money, she feels uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the precious price of tea made up for her a little heartache. Now she asked: "How much did this dog cost?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a dog walking in. In the shadow of the night, he looked like a yellow-haired tiger!
"Ouch!"
This startled her.
Song Sancheng ran over when he heard the noise, and opened his mouth wide at this moment, and then rubbed his hands beside him happily:
"This dog is so big! So big!"
I turned around and looked at the four treasures next to me. After looking around, I only recognized one: "Is this a black dog? What kind of dog is this black one? Oh, look at them, they are so handsome! The coat is so shiny and smooth, so nice.
.”
Ulan's eyes widened, and then he realized: "You got so many dogs at once, what are they going to eat? They are all so big, do you have to cook a pot of rice for them every meal?"
I knew it.
Song Tanxin said: If you raise a dog in the countryside, isn’t it just a waste of leftovers?
However, she did not refute, but pointed to the back of the car: "No, the seller has dog food as a gift."
But Ulan was still disgusted: "Forget about your four dogs. This one looks like a wolfdog, and it is quite energetic. Then what does such a big dog do? No one dares to come if you put it at the door.
We’re home!”
She was talking about King Kangao.
Song Tan has already made an arrangement: "It is the biggest, and we will go see the pigs then. The others will go to the chestnut orchard first."
"The black fungus on the mountain has not yet grown, but the white fungus will start to grow soon. Wouldn't you feel bad if someone picked it or carried it away?"
"That stuff is sold by Lunke when it's dried."
This songtan is not an exaggeration. Basswood Tremella, even ordinary ones, are sold in grams, because it has almost no weight when dried and is very light.
Now that the dog has been brought home, what else can Ulan say? At this moment, he only asked the most critical question:
"How much is it?"
Zhang Yanping tensed up next to him.
Song Tan looked at Qiao Qiao, who was about to make a move, and now guided him to pet the heads of several dogs while introducing each other:
"This is your king, the eldest son of the family. Your Majesty, this is Qiao Qiao. You must protect him from now on. This is Dabao..."
While taking the time to answer her mother's question: "Three thousand."
Zhang Yanping's heart skipped a beat, thinking how could this stupid cousin be so bold and dare to tell the truth?!
As expected, Ulan has already begun to feel distressed:
"Three thousand for just these five dogs? You really have too much money and no place to burn it."
As soon as Zhang Yanping took a sip of water into his mouth, it spurted out with a "pop".
Seeing that Wulan's eyes were suspicious, he quickly said, "That's right! You are so incompetent. Auntie, I didn't even try to stop you today."
Unexpectedly, Wulan changed his mind again: "Three thousand is okay. I know that the current breeds of dogs are very expensive, so let's do it. I think they are quite obedient."
Well, after getting off the car and lining up in a row, there was no yelling.
Qiao Qiao touched them and found that they were all docile. They must have been well-trained dogs. They looked ferocious and well-behaved, and would not bite easily. They were safe to raise.
"That's right," Song Tan said, "These dogs were not sold when they were young, and they were difficult to sell when they were older. That's why I took advantage and bought them back for three thousand yuan."
"Otherwise, if they had been young, one would have cost three thousand."
As expected, Ulan beamed: "It's okay, I saw there are some that sell for seven to eight thousand dollars online... I heard that this kind of dog can't always eat our food. There are cheap dog food online, you can buy some and bring them back."
Song Tan shook his head and moved several boxes of dog food from the back of the car:
"Mom, look, this is dog food given by people who want to sell it as soon as possible. Let's finish the accompanying meals first."
She looked serious:
"There are many places to spend money, we have to save a little."
Zhang Yanping was instantly impressed by his little cousin.
If nothing else, the ability to observe words and emotions and please adults cannot be developed without a hundred and eighty years of practice!
Is this really a gift?
In comparison, he is not an elder brother, he is clearly a younger brother.
Song Tan ignored him at all. After packing up all the dog food and dog supplies in the car, he came in with a pile of straw from outside.
While introducing the dogs, he said: "Mom, it's a little cold at night, so I'll let them sleep here at night. Take the time in the next two days to build their dog houses, and then put them in the mountains."
Knowing that her daughter had taken advantage of the opportunity to buy a dog this time, Wulan felt satisfied and gave her some advice:
"You can't do this. These dogs are old and have a new environment. You have to make them get more familiar with us."
"Qiao Qiao, take out all the clothes from the bottom drawer of the cabinet in your room. They are old clothes from our past. We don't have anywhere to throw them away. I just want to make a kennel for them and smell them."
On the other hand, he couldn't help his curiosity and stepped forward to tentatively touch the king's head.
The dog is tall and she doesn't need to bend down or even lift her arms to reach the top of her head.
"Look at this face. He has a black mouth and yellow fur. He looks so honest and honest! I saw on the Internet that people keep that little dog every day. It barks and barks but can't guard the door. How can such a big dog look safe?"
She touched each one twice, turned around and hurried into the kitchen:
"The pig's trotters are too fat. You probably don't like eating them. I'll take out a few pieces and share them with them."
Zhang Yanping looked at Song Tan who was pretending to spread straw in a messy manner, and at the moment he only felt admiration in his heart.
