Chapter one hundred and forty-eight son of a bitch
Xu Shiyan trotted all the way to Li's house in the west of the village. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the puppy barking in the house. Xu Shiyan knew as soon as he heard that the puppy was hungry.
"Uncle Li and aunt, are you at home?" Xu Shiyan asked as he walked into the house.
Mrs. Li came out of the east room and was surprised and happy when she saw Xu Shiyan.
"Oh, when did San'er come back?"
"Auntie, I just got home a while ago, so I came over to see how Uncle Li is doing."
Xu Shiyan smiled at Old Mrs. Li and followed her into the east room.
Lao Li Tou can now sit up, and he is sitting on the kang with a pillow behind him.
There was a sack on the ground, and four puppies were lying on it, two with yellow hair and two with black hair. You could tell at a glance that these were Dahuang's children.
"Oh, my uncle's health has obviously improved. He can even sit up? That's great."
Xu Shiyan took a look and found that Lao Litou's complexion was not bad. Otherwise, the older man's body was really good.
With such a serious illness as cerebral hemorrhage, given the current medical conditions, Lao Litou was still able to recover little by little, all thanks to his good physical condition.
"Hey, San'er, hurry up, sit down, sit down and talk."
Old Li Tou's speech was obviously better than before. When he saw Xu Shiyan, he greeted him to sit down very cordially.
Xu Shiyan sat on the edge of the kang next to Old Li, looking at the puppies on the ground.
"Uncle, what's going on? Why do you raise a dog again? These puppies don't look like they're over a month old. How do you raise them?"
"Oh, San'er, don't mention it. I'll make you, Uncle Li, worried to death.
How can our family afford to raise a dog with this condition? Even if it is one month old, we can't afford it, let alone one who is not one month old.
I'm really worried to death. The rice soup doesn't work, and the dog is so hungry that he is croaking." Before Old Li Tou could speak, Aunt Li spoke first.
"Dahuang, Dahei, and Daqing were taken up the mountain by brothers Li Ming and Li Gang, causing trouble to the blind man.
No one in the team is willing to feed the rest of this litter of puppies, so your uncle has to come.
How do you think we can support our family? I am already busy enough serving you, Uncle Li, all day long, and I simply cannot take care of you."
Mrs. Li probably had nowhere to talk, so she complained to Xu Shiyan when she saw him.
As soon as he said this, Lao Litou, who was sitting on the kang, burst into tears.
"My rhubarb and rhubarb were raised since childhood, and they are just gone.
I, I have to feed their cubs anyway."
The old man has no children and lives with his wife. Those dogs are just like his sons.
Now that the dog is gone, he has no choice but to give up on these puppies.
Xu Shiyan looked at Lao Litou, then at the puppies on the ground, and sighed.
"Uncle Li, if you trust me, can you sell these puppies to me?
We have cows and sheep in our team, so I can find a way to get cow's and goat's milk, and I can feed these dogs no matter what."
The second brigade has a rich family background, which is much better than that of Dongjiangyan. They not only raise large livestock, but also a group of sheep.
Xu Shiyan gets along well with the people in the second brigade. It shouldn't be difficult for him to ask the person in charge of the livestock shed to order some cow's milk or goat's milk, or simply borrow a sheep to go home.
These puppies are already over 20 days old. As long as they are fed for another ten days, they will be able to eat and survive without breastfeeding.
Dahuang and Dahei are both good dogs, and their litters will be good too.
Xu Shiyan originally wanted to raise two dogs, but he could never find a good puppy.
Seeing these four little guys now reminds me of the time I took the dogs into the mountains last winter.
Dahuang and Dahei's child, no matter what happens, he has to raise it.
"Uncle and aunt, I don't have much money when I come back today, just fifty yuan. You two don't want it too little."
Xu Shiyan said, took out five big unity cards and was about to give them to Lao Li.
How could Lao Litou ask for Xu Shiyan's money? He quickly waved his hand. "No, no, we men can't talk about money.
San'er, if you like them, then take them all away. I believe you, you are a dog lover and you will definitely be able to raise them well."
As Old Li Tou spoke, tears came down again. He was really afraid that he couldn't take care of the dogs and these bastards would die.
Xu Shiyan knows how to hunt, but all good hunters care about dogs and treat dogs as their lives.
Only in the hands of such a person can a puppy be taken good care of.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will take good care of these dogs." Xu Shiyan solemnly assured the old couple.
"Yes, I believe you. Old lady, please find a housekeeper, put this little puppy on it, and let San'er take it away. We can't raise them, but San'er can do it."
Old Li Tou was very reluctant to let go, but he had no choice but to let the old lady find a housekeeper to pretend to be a dog.
Xu Shiyan took advantage of Lao Litou not paying attention and stuffed the money behind the pillow.
Old Mrs. Li went outside, found an old satchel, put a piece of broken sack in the basket, and then put the four puppies into the basket one by one.
The puppy woke up as soon as he moved away and started to grunt again.
Old Mrs. Li seemed a little reluctant to give up. She raised her hand and patted the puppies' heads one by one. "Go and find a good place for you. Don't starve to death here."
"Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely raise them well." Xu Shiyan looked at these four tiger-headed puppies and liked them very much. When they grow up, they will all be good hunting dogs in the future.
Old Mrs. Li sighed and waved her hand, "Take it away, your uncle and I can trust you. In your hands, this dog will definitely grow into as powerful as Big Yellow and Big Black."
Xu Shiyan took the basket, chatted a few more words with the old couple of the Li family, then left the Li family with the dog and went straight to the east end of the village.
As for Old Li Tou and Old Mrs. Li, they only discovered the fifty yuan in the evening, but Xu Shiyan had already left, so they could only keep the money.
"Ah, puppies, there are several puppies, they are so beautiful."
As soon as Xu Shiyan entered the yard with the basket, Xu Jinfeng, Xu Jinxiu and others gathered around him, looking curiously at the puppies in the basket.
"The puppy is still too young. You can only look at it now, but you can't touch it."
Older people say that cats and dogs are not easy to touch because they are prone to getting angry and sick.
Especially since these puppies are not yet one month old, if they get into the hands of children, they will probably rub them to death in a short time, so Xu Shiyan specially warned them.
The children were well behaved, and no one touched them. They only looked at the sleeping puppy in the basket with surprise and excitement, and followed Xu Shiyan into the house happily.
"Master, grandma, my third uncle picked up several dogs."
Xu Jinxiu rushed into the room and said, in the child's mind, such a small dog must have been picked up.
"Lao San, you went out in such a hurry just because of these puppies? How are you going to feed them when they are so young?"
Xu Chenghou stretched out his head and took a look, "Okay, we have brought back four puppies. Who can afford to raise them?"
"Dad, don't be afraid, I have a way to feed them, don't worry."
When I was little, I would order some cow's milk and goat's milk to feed me. As I got older, I would boil the cornstarch noodles and add some potatoes, pumpkins and the like to them, and I would always be able to feed them.
The second brigade's harvest this year is not bad, and his family has a small population, so there will definitely be enough food to feed the dogs.
