Niu male

On Monday morning, Xiao Shulin went to the town to practice martial arts early, and Luo Meng took the monkey boy to the courtyard for breakfast. Recently, Xiao Shulin spent more and more time in the cultural square of Buffalo Town every day. Romon didn't have anything to do in the morning, so he took over the job of sending the monkey to kindergarten.

Houwazi was carrying a small schoolbag, and the father and son held hands. When they walked outside the courtyard, they happened to see two foreigners standing at the foot of the wall and reciting one word at a time: "a—o—e—i— —u—”

"These two brothers are really good at calculating and budgeting. They came here to learn Chinese." Lao Zhou said to his son.

"Yeah." Houwazi didn't know if he understood.

"It's so affordable. You don't have to pay a dime for tuition, and you can also get food and accommodation." Old Zhou said again.

"I have to work." This monkey boy knows that everyone who comes to Niuwangzhuang needs to work, except for Du Yigua and Ma Dingliang.

"Then you can exercise your body." No matter what Lao Zhou thought, he felt that these two foreign devils really made a lot of money.

"Yeah." Xiao Zhou nodded solemnly in agreement.

Many people in the yard were eating breakfast, Mr. Bai was also there that day, he and Lin Kuo were sitting at the same table, they were talking while eating, probably related to some traditional Chinese medicine.

Although old Mr. Bai occupied a hut in Niuwangzhuang, he didn't often live in the village. This time, he came back probably for Laochang's business. Since Romon gave Laochang two chicken spirits last time, this The old man never stopped his medicine.

In the past, I always felt that I was not going to get better, and I felt a bit broken. Taking medicine was three days of fishing and two days of drying the net. Now I see hope and I am motivated. He didn't go to the blacksmith shop for a long time, so he had to call to remind him.

Lin Kuo is also a hard worker. For more than a year, he has not only taken good care of the herbs on the mountain, but also learned a lot of pharmacology knowledge by himself. Now Mr. Bai often gives him some advice, which is even more beneficial.

According to his point of view, in this life, he probably wants to live until he is old enough to learn. As for the economy, as long as he takes good care of the herbs on the mountain, he will not have to worry about no income.The reason why Lin Kuo went to Niuwangzhuang to plant herbs at first was not to make a lot of money, but to realize his dream of being a miracle doctor. Now that the opportunity is in front of him, how could he be willing to miss it for nothing.

Luo Meng gave Houwazi two cowpea buns, a bowl of buffalo milk porridge, and a plate of side dishes, while he made some milk steamed buns and a bowl of hot soy milk for himself. It was still early, and the father and son They were not in a hurry either, they sat on both sides of the dining table and ate slowly, mouthful by mouthful.

"Excuse me, is Guanshi Chen there?" At this time, someone suddenly asked at the entrance of the cafeteria.Romon looked up, and saw a young man dressed in sloppy clothes, but Lao Zhou had seen the world, so he probably could tell that none of his outfits were cheap.

This person doesn't feel very natural. It's not that he is unnatural, but when he just stands at the door of the cafeteria, for some reason, it always makes people feel a little awkward.It's like in a party with light makeup and heavy makeup, suddenly a plain-faced person appears, really clumsy and a bit out of place, one can tell at a glance that this person must not be able to adapt to social life.

"What's the matter?" Over there, Chen Jianhua had just finished his breakfast.

"Well, I want to change my job." The man walked to the dining table where Chen Jianhua was, and said to him.

"Where are you now?" Chen Jianhua asked him while cleaning up the dishes.

"I originally came to participate in the flower picking activity..."

Chen Jianhua packed up the dishes and took them under the faucet to rinse. This man followed him all the way. After he finished washing the dishes, the two stood in the corridor outside the cafeteria and talked. It happened that Lao Zhou's dining table was next to the door, and his The ears are very sharp, so I can hear very clearly.

It turned out that this person was Wang Xiaochen, a painter, and one of the first batch of people who participated in the flower-picking tour. He has no plan to leave until now, but picking three kilograms of petals a day is a bit too long for him. It's hard to spare time for painting, and the flower-picking activities are seasonal after all, he plans to live here for a long time, so he came down from the mountain early today, and asked Chen Jianhua if there was any job suitable for him.

Chen Jianhua felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't think of how to arrange it for him for a while, so he had to let him go back first, and then think about it by himself.

"Painter?" When the others left, Lao Zhou took a steamed bun and leaned over to ask their housekeeper while chewing on it.

"Wang Xiaochen never heard of it?" Chen Jianhua asked him back.

"I haven't cared about this before. How about it? Is he famous?" Lao Zhou has no artistic talent since he was a child. If music and art are compulsory subjects, he will not be able to enter a key university.

"It's not particularly famous. I won an award in foreign countries two years ago, and it became popular for a while." The reason why Chen Jianhua knew this person was because a female employee in their company liked him very much at that time, and half of the company's people were dismissed. She popularized science, even his direct supervisor was no exception.

"Oh..." Lao Zhou sighed thoughtfully.

"What do you want to arrange for him?" Manager Chen knew that their boss was probably planning something again at the moment.

"Call him later and ask him if he can do the work of feeding the monkeys? If he is willing to do it, he can have a single room in the courtyard, and he can eat three meals in the yard, but there is no salary." Monkey herding sheep I can't hide the matter anymore, and Lao Zhou is thinking of letting go of the job of feeding the monkeys recently, so as to save him and Xiao Shulin from running up the mountain every day.

"..." Chen Jianhua scratched his head and asked the artist to feed the monkey. Is this really all right?

After a while, the day's work in the courtyard was arranged, and Chen Jianhua called Wang Xiaochen and conveyed Lao Zhou's words, but the other party agreed immediately. Before noon, he packed up all his belongings and moved to the The courtyard came and said that they could go up the mountain to feed the monkeys in the afternoon.

For the job of feeding monkeys, Wang Xiaochen himself is very happy. In addition to going out to sketch, he has been painting behind closed doors every day. His life is very irregular. At home, lack of exercise for a long time, not only the body is not good, but the whole mental state is also very bad.

This time, he came to Niuwangzhuang to participate in the flower-picking activity, and his niece grabbed it for him. The elder brother and his family encouraged him to come out for a walk. I came here with the mentality of going out to sketch.

Unexpectedly, he didn't want to leave after this. This place is not only beautiful, but also very clean. Although Wang Xiaochen doesn't like to socialize, he is not ignorant of the world. He knows that there is no absolute simplicity in this world. There are disputes and hustle and bustle, peace and beauty are always hard-won, and it takes countless efforts to operate and maintain.

Although they are two completely different types of people, Wang Xiaochen can feel more deeply than many people how much effort that young man called Lao Zhou has spent on this Niuwangzhuang.

Of course, the most direct reason why Wang Xiaochen wants to stay in Niuwangzhuang is because the food here is so good that he doesn't want to miss a meal. Haven't done it.

The work of feeding the monkeys is not too heavy. The buffaloes carry everything on their backs. These cows even know the way. He just needs to follow up and down the mountain. The food for the monkeys is also prepared by the courtyard. Just send it to the monkeys.

These monkeys were taught very well by Lao Zhou and they would line up when receiving food, but sometimes there would be monkeys who had already received the food and pretended not to receive it before going to line up. I didn't find it, it was really hard to find out, because all the monkeys are similar in his eyes, maybe after a long time in the future, he will gradually distinguish them.

Someone has taken over the job of feeding the monkeys, and Xiao Shulin doesn't seem to be very free. He has to go to the town to practice martial arts early every day, and he has to teach others after his own practice. He often doesn't go back until after nine o'clock in the morning. Take a look at my own small reservoir, tidy up the open space by the reservoir, and then feed some fish and shrimp in the reservoir. It will soon be time for lunch.

Usually in the afternoon, Xiao Shulin would make walnut carvings at home until before dinner, then go to the reservoir to feed the feed once, and then go to the kindergarten in the town to pick up the monkey baby and go home.

Compared with Xiao Shulin, Lao Zhou will be much more relaxed. He doesn't have to practice martial arts in the morning, and someone will help him take care of the affairs in Niuwangzhuang. Except for being a little busy when collecting the rent at the beginning of each month, he is very leisurely at other times. .

When there is nothing to do, apart from staying with Xiao Shulin, Lao Zhou’s favorite thing to do is to bring delicious food to visit their home. The four puppies brought back from Gong Baiqi are now able to guard one side. home.

In mid-April, Xiangxiang from Laosan's family gave birth to four puppies, three males and one female. According to the convention, they were named Xiyixi[-]xisanxisisi. Xisan is a bitch and they will be weaned when they grow up. , this little bitch will be taken to the village and let Luo Meihui, Luo Meiling and the others raise it.

When the second or fourth family gave birth to a girl, they would take her over there to be with Xisan. Now the old man Luo and his family are considered rich in the village, and there is no one young or old in the family. For a strong man, it is necessary to keep two dogs to guard the house.

Thinking that there will be more and more puppies on the farm in the future, it might be hard to tell them apart. Luo Meng talked to Xiao Shulin, and the two made a dog tag for each of their dogs. The name of each dog is engraved on the very round oval small wooden sign, and then both ends are pierced, tied with a rope, and worn around the dog's neck in a loose or tight way.

There is only one word engraved on the dog tags in the southeast and northwest, and the ropes used by the four of them are different, which are red, white, blue and yellow. Even if the puppies look similar in the future, just look at the color of the rope around their necks Which one does it belong to?

Yaya Dabao and the Langtou family also each got a small wooden sign this time. Yaya Dabao's wooden sign was tied with a purple rope, while the Langtou family used a black rope.

Before long, the four little puppies of the third family had not yet been weaned, and they had already started to follow Yaya Dabao Dongyi Donger and they ran around all over the mountain.

The huge Niuwangzhuang is full of surprises and excitements for these little milk dogs who have just come to this world. Of course, sometimes they will encounter dangers, such as thorny bushes, such as those stars. The dense puddles, and the big lynx in the owner's house, the puppies have always kept a respectful distance from it.

On this day, Yaya Dabao and the others walked outside the courtyard with all the dogs, and saw Monkey Boy sitting on a square table in the yard, packing freeze-dried vegetables in small ziplock bags. They gathered around happily passed.

"Wang Wang!"

"Ugh..."

The puppies are around the table, circling around. They have eaten this freeze-dried dish before. It is fragrant and crispy, and it also has a milky smell. They ate too much fruit outside just now. Something dry would be great.

"Ahh..." Yaya Dabao stood up, put her two front legs on the edge of the table, poked her head out to look at the table, opened her mouth and hung out her tongue, her big fluffy tail was wagging happily.

"You can't eat it, you have to sell it for money." Houwazi said, grabbing those freeze-dried vegetables in front of him, keeping them away from Yaya Dabao.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Yaya looked at the freeze-dried vegetables on the table, and then at Monkey Boy, with a face of accusation, there are so many, so what if you feed them one or two slices?

"Woo!" Dabao licked his lips with his tongue, his expression was self-evident.

"Woof..." The puppies were still moaning and whimpering under the table.

"Okay then, one piece for each person." Houwazi grabbed a handful of freeze-dried vegetables in pain, and distributed a piece to each dog.

"Wow!" Where did a thin slice of freeze-dried vegetables go?After the dogs killed it in one gulp, they licked their mouths and stared at the monkey boy with their bright eyes.

"No more." Houwazi shook his head resolutely.

"Ah woo!" Give me another slice!

"No." Houwazi remained unmoved.

"Wang Wang!"

"Aww! Aww!"

"Hey..."

"Woooo!"

"Wang woo..."

"No way! If you eat any more, you will lose money!"
