Chapter 266 Taking the opportunity to train the dog
"Haha, at first I was wondering if it would be easy to find, but then I saw your house from a distance." The old man walked closer and looked at the brand new blue brick and tile house, surprise and envy in his eyes.
"You're finally here. I thought the time was about right. I was wondering if you couldn't find a place." Gu Qingqing was very happy to see that they finally arrived.
"But how did you meet?" Gu Qingqing replied to the old man first, and then asked Yang Xing who was leading the way.
Yang Xing also smiled and walked to Gu Qingqing. "I just happened to be taking the kids to dig some wild vegetables and ran into them at the entrance of the village. So I followed them."
"That's great. It saves me from having to ask the kids to call you." While Gu Qingqing was speaking, her eyes were attracted by the burdens on the other two men's shoulders.
Because there were so many tender and loud chirping sounds coming from inside.
"How many chicken and ducklings were delivered today?" Yang Xing took the responsibility of handing over the matter consciously.
The old man laughed and said, "Today we have 70 chicks and 60 ducklings. The first batch of 30 or so hatched eight days ago. We thought we'd feed them for a few more days so they'd be strong enough to be sent to you so you can raise them. The remaining 40 were hatched five days ago. Although there was a three-day gap in between, they're all in good spirits."
Gu Qingqing listened with satisfaction. Because the cage was covered with a bamboo lid, she could not see the specific condition of the chicks at this time, so she hurriedly invited them to send the chicks into her home first.
“Walk into the house and look at it.”
Gu Qingqing said this and led them into the backyard.
Now that the weather has started to warm up, the rabbits have been moved from the house to the yard when they were moved to their new cages.
The inside of the cage and the top cover are covered with thick straw, especially the top layer which is made similar to the eaves of a house, so there is no need to worry even if it rains in the future.
So the room where the rabbits were kept in the winter was now empty. Gu Qingqing cleaned it up these few days and asked Wen Wuyan to weave a board out of bamboo strips to block the door to prevent them from running all over the yard.
We are just waiting for the chicks to arrive and raising them here for a few days. When they are grown strong, we will move them to the other side of the hill.
As the old man shouted and opened the bamboo basket that contained the chicks, the chicks and ducklings that were being watched by the crowd immediately crowded towards a corner, chirping.
The old man smiled as he looked at the chicken and ducklings he had brought. He pointed to a slightly smaller bamboo basket and said, "This basket is five days old. It looks a little smaller, but each one is very strong."
After saying that, he grabbed a chick with his big hand, and everyone saw the little chick struggling back and forth in his hand with its legs facing the sky.
He looks in good spirits.
Gu Qingqing could only tell whether the girl was lively or not, and left the actual inspection to Yang Xing.
On the other side, Jiang Qingrou, Erhua, Daxin and Zhao Danju were all standing by, looking eager to try but not daring to.
Even Dahei was drooling, and his face was filled with the happiness of knowing how many meals he could eat in one meal.
After Yang Xing confirmed that everything was fine, Gu Qingqing went back to the house and took the corresponding copper coins and gave them to the other party.
At the same time, Jiang Qingxue saw that it was getting late and offered to leave.
"I'm busy at home today, so I'm sorry for not hosting you well. Next time, please come early with your two sisters, and I'll cook my specialty for you."
"We are the ones who are doing Aunt a favor." Jiang Qingxue said with a smile.
"I'll only be busy these few days. I won't be busy later." Gu Qingqing said as she watched them leave.
......
When Gu Qingqing returned to the backyard again, Yang Xing asked curiously, "Just now I saw that they were the wives and daughters of a wealthy family. What kind of guests do you have here?"
"Hey, that's not an outsider, it's Chen An's cousin's wife, and the other one is his cousin's sister."
After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, she looked at the small balls of fluff on the floor curiously and asked, "Just now the old man said that it was cold at night and the chicks looked lively but they couldn't stand the cold, so he asked us to hang a broken door curtain on the door. If conditions permit, we can use a charcoal pot, otherwise we can use straw. Which do you think we should use?"
"Light a charcoal brazier. It won't be a bad thing to keep it warm at night. But the charcoal brazier needs to be placed higher, otherwise they will crowd into warm places at night, causing casualties easily." Yang Xing said to her after thinking for a moment.
Gu Qingqing understood what she meant and said with a smile, "That's right. Those outside are pushing inwards, and those inside can't escape and can only get close to the charcoal brazier. Maybe we can come here tomorrow and eat roast chicken. You watch here first, I'll go get the charcoal brazier." Gu Qingqing was about to get up and leave.
At this time, Li Xin said from behind her, "Aunt, I'll go."
Gu Qingqing simply pressed the issue, "Okay, and bring over the door curtains that we brought to the field today."
Li Xin ran towards the front yard, his voice still clearly reaching Gu Qingqing's ears, "I know, Auntie."
Seeing that Dahua was not there, Gu Qingqing took the opportunity to direct Erhua, "You go too, go to the side room and bring back half a basket of charcoal."
The abilities of a few small ones are limited, but there is no problem in doing these small things.
Erhua also obediently ran towards the front yard.
Yang Xing accidentally caught a glimpse of Dahei, who was grinning and looking like he was eating meat. She gestured to Gu Qingqing, "Qingqing, you have to keep an eye on your Dahei. Look at his appearance!"
Dahei was looking at which one was the fattest, when suddenly he saw his hostess turning around and staring at him.
It looks like a fierce dog!
Dahei didn't know what he had done wrong. He was so scared that he sat up straight and shut his mouth.
However, something strange happened.
The hostess smiled, and her smile was very warm. She caught a plump piece of meat and put it to her mouth, meaning to feed it to herself?
We, as dogs, don't know how to think. We will eat if our masters tell us to. But before we eat, we will give our masters a dog-legged smile to prove that we are very happy.
Before the meat entered my mouth, a loud slap hit my dog's mouth, wuuuu?
"How dare you do that? Do you really think this is dog food prepared for you? Try eating another one!"
Didn't you give it to our dog? Our dog...
"Well, have some respect and look at me when I scold you."
Our dog looks...
"Do you still want to eat them? Look carefully, these little dumplings are not for you to eat. Not only can you not eat them, but you also have to take good care of them in the future. You can't let them run away, and you can't let anything hurt them. Do you understand?"
You're still trying to force it into our mouths?
Should our dog eat it or not?
"You dare to eat it?" Gu Qingqing said fiercely, then looked at Dahei and shut his mouth, avoiding his eyes and not daring to look at the chicken.
She touched Dahei's head and said earnestly, "Hei, you two have to live together in the future. You are bigger than them and came home earlier. You are the big brother in the family. You have to take care of them and don't let them get hurt, otherwise I will be sad."
After saying that, Gu Qingqing held up the trembling little chicken and swung it in front of Dahei, "Do you still want to eat it?"
While looking at his owner, Dahei carefully sniffed the smell of the meat ball, then lay down on the ground, looking like he was going to sleep.
Gu Qingqing deliberately stuffed the chicken into Dahei's arms, and both the black-haired and the yellow-haired ones were trembling.
Gu Qingqing smiled happily at Yang Xing and said, "Look, Dahei doesn't eat chickens."
