In my days as a farmer

In the early morning when the sun has just risen, the mist in the mountains has not yet dissipated, and the milky white water vapor is entwined between the green mountains like a ribbon.

No, the term "green hills" is not accurate.

Because the plants on Baiyun Mountain, which are far more sensitive than humans, sensed the approaching winter as early as the first autumn wind blew, and responded in time.

They quickly switch from a state of rapid growth to an energy storage state, and the chlorophyll originally hidden in the leaves begins to decompose in large quantities.

With the decomposition of chlorophyll, other pigments in the leaves finally have a chance to show their strengths. Therefore, these days, Baiyun Mountain is a bit more colorful than in summer, and the leaves of various colors seem to use Baiyun Mountain as a drawing board. .

With their efforts, this Baiyun Mountain is like a green girl transforming into a mature woman, with the precipitation of the years and more charm.

Of course, this is the view to humans, and it is the same to dogs.

Canine eyes cannot perceive long-wavelength light waves, which means they can see many fewer colors than humans.And compared to the beautiful scenery, the dogs care more about their work.

Originally, this time was the time when Da Mi Wang got up and started to take the family's sheep up the mountain to graze, but today the situation is a bit different.

Just before it wanted to go out, it was stopped by its beloved owner.

Rice Wang tilted his head and watched as his owner brought in a weighing scale, and expressed his intention to hold the rice to measure his weight.

this!How!what!Can!by? !

Unlike in the past when I was suffering from mental illness, it was not delicious to eat anything, but now the rice tastes good and I want to eat everything.

Sufficient supply of food plus a variety of snacks, as well as ample exercise and a sense of fulfillment brought about by work, the fat-hearted rice has recently been firmly running towards Bianmu's weight limit.

For medium-sized dogs and large dogs, the major factor that endangers their health is cardiovascular disease.Therefore, as a responsible host, Xia Dongli is naturally very concerned about the weight of the rice, and he often adjusts food preparations according to the weight of the rice.

So rice has now learned an experience from several painful lessons-as long as it is on the small weighing scale, it will be controlled for snacks!

"Wang woo woo~" Dami Wang wagged his tail and dived backwards. No matter what, he refused to let Xia Dongli hug him, and expressed his rejection with practical actions.

While one person and one dog were engaged in a tug-of-war, the little black faces who had just been released from the sheep pen huddled together. They leaned against the fence and stretched their heads to look at the scene not far away. The attitude of watching the excitement is particularly obvious.

What's even more exaggerated is that these lambs seem to feel that watching the excitement is not enough, and they regurgitated their undigested food and chewed while watching the show, which is similar to the crowd watching the show with melons.

Cough, don't think it's unhygienic for the little black faces to do so. As the favorite food of most carnivorous beasts, Baa Stars don't have time to chew slowly in the wild environment.

In order to keep their lives safe while filling their stomachs, some herbivores have special skills—the forage they eat in a hurry will first enter a "false stomach" similar to a storage room, and when they are free, put it in a false stomach. The forage in the stomach will return to the lamb's mouth through the esophagus, and re-enter the digestive system after being chewed and swallowed slowly.

So, even if sometimes the sheep obviously didn’t eat, it’s the reason why they still stand in place and babble—it’s chewing and digesting the feed that it had eaten before.

But before the little black faces had digested the undigested feed last night, the situation of the battle changed.

Because there is no scale for animals at home, the way they measure the dog's weight is that Xia Dongli measures his own weight and then holds the rice to measure it. The difference between the two times is the weight of the rice.

Their home scale is still an electronic scale, so to get accurate data, the rice must cooperate with it and stay still, otherwise the counter will keep beating and accurate data cannot be measured.

Now that Rice is unwilling to cooperate, Xia Dongli is a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Xun Yu came up with a way. He dug out a bamboo basket, motioned Xia Dongli to stuff the dog into it, and then hung it on a wooden steelyard for measurement.

Wait, how did their family have such an ancient wooden steelyard?

In fact, this wooden steelyard was a gift from Xia Dongli's neighbor when he moved in. It is a large scale with a scale of [-] catties, which is more than one meter long.

The scale beam itself is made of solid wood, and its own weight plus the weight of the scale weighs nearly 40 kilograms, so it is usually a mascot.

Unexpectedly, the old things were still reliable at the critical moment, and the rice was stuffed into the bamboo basket without noticing it for a while.It was inexplicable, and suddenly felt that it was lifted up by the bamboo basket, and suddenly let out an uneasy cry.

"How is it?" Xia Dongli pressed Gouzi's head to prevent it from jumping out of the bamboo basket, while leaning over to see the position of the cotton thread that Xun Yao was moving.

The steelyard uses the principle of leverage. The heavier the goods to be weighed, the further the position of the weight is.Seeing Xun Yao move back the cotton thread hanging the weight a little bit, Xia Dongli's expression gradually became serious,

In the end, when the scale was finally balanced, he was full of disbelief: "Rice, you have gained five catties?"

The upper limit of the normal weight of a Border Collie male dog is about 25 kg. Rice was originally at the standard weight, but after adding these five catties, it is now 27 kg, which is 2 kg overweight.

This 2 kilograms is converted to a human body with a standard weight of 120 kilograms, but it is nearly 10 kilograms!I gained so much weight in less than half a month. The key is that Rice is still a dog that has not been neutered, and he has definitely experienced unhealthy overeating activities.

It should be known that non-sterilized dogs have a lot of activities, and generally speaking, they are light in weight.

Xia Dongli pulled up Dami's two front legs, supported its underarms, and let the dog stand up. He watched Damiwang's little eyes flying around and said seriously: "I thought you were born in autumn." That's why Mao looks fat, now it seems that this is not an illusion, rice, you are not hairy, you are fat!"

Rice:! ! !

As he said that, in order to show fairness, he weighed the other three dogs one by one, and finally came up with a heavy result-only rice was overweight among all the dogs.

Obviously, everyone eats the same food, and the amount of exercise is similar!

"You have to lose weight." Xia Dongli looked at the dog rubbing against his ankle with a serious face, "You can't eat any snacks from now on! Check the situation first, if it doesn't work, you have to switch to indoor dog food , but the key point is..."

Xia Dongli squatted down and pinched Rice's recently rounded cheeks: "Don't pester Grandpa for snacks!"

That's right, Xia Dongli's sudden act of pulling Da Mi Wang to weigh himself today was entirely because he heard Secretary Xiao Li's informant.

It turned out that when he didn't know, Uncle Geng, who he thought was at work, and Rice, who he thought was playing on the mountain, actually held hands behind their backs and ate all the snack shops in Xiaojin Village and the gourmet stalls in the town.

Uncle Geng was really cautious, his anti-reconnaissance ability was full, he and Rice even went home separately, and Rice didn't smell like snacks, so Xia Dongli never found out.

But the eyes of the masses are discerning.

When Xia Dongli went to the villagers of Xiaojin Village to ask questions and saw the feedback from the villagers, he suddenly laughed back with anger.

More than sugar fried chestnuts!

The village's wonton shops, small supermarkets, and even the deep-fried stalls in front of the school all have traces of an old man and a dog stepping on them.

These are still in Xiaojin Village, Xia Dongli has no doubt that the two of them have stepped on more points than themselves during this time.

But the question is how does rice do it?

Uncle Geng has only lived in Xiaojin Village for less than a month, and this Wang can coax the old dragon king to put down his body and walk to the street to buy him snacks?When Uncle Geng first arrived, his attitude towards the little animals at home was all dispensable.

Is it really the saying that you can't marry each other?Or is it the same as the meme on the Internet: You are responsible for taking me home, and I will take care of the rest?

Thinking about it carefully, his parents also have a pampering attitude towards rice... um...

"Why are you so likable?" Xia Dongli rubbed Rice's belly helplessly. He felt helpless when he touched Gouzi's loose belly.

Rice arched the belly of his beloved master, stuck out his tongue, and drooped his ears, with a pitiful appearance of "Wang knew it was wrong".

But Xia Dongli knows this dog too well. Rice is the type who sincerely admits his mistakes but refuses to change after repeated teaching. If he doesn't treat him well, this dog will dare to do it next time.

So, he gently stroked the dog's head, and repeated it ruthlessly: "Nothing is allowed to be eaten except dog food."

"Wooooow!" Rice's flicking tail completely drooped.

Simply controlling the dog was not enough, Xia Dongli turned to look at Xun Ao, Xun Ao nodded, and said softly, "I'll go and talk to Uncle Geng."

Xia Dongli hesitated for a moment.

Although judging from the current situation, the old dragon king is almost inseparable from Xiaoyu's father, but their family Xiaoyu has no memory, calling other people's father or something when they don't have memory, and everyone is still an adult. The degree of embarrassment is estimated to be no less than that of a reorganized family.

It is enough to see that Xiaoyu is now called Old Dragon King or Uncle Geng.

Xia Dongli hesitated for a while, and felt that it was better not to embarrass her boyfriend: "Let me talk about it, after all, I am the owner of the rice."

"No, I'll go." Xun Yao squeezed his hand, with a smile in his eyes, "It was said on TV that if there is a disagreement between families, it should be handled by parents and children, and the pressure should not be placed on it." partner, otherwise it will easily lead to conflicts between the partner and the elders."

After speaking, he returned to the small brick house with the scale beam and the basket, full of action.Xia Dongli, who was left behind, opened his mouth, and finally buried his red face in Rice's dog fur.

Dami Wang, who innocently ate a mouthful of dog food and was deprived of snacks, felt that he was really wronged. He buried his head between his paws, exhaled heavily, and sighed in advance for the miserable life in the future.

Life is not easy, Dog sighs.

Since Xia Dongli said to stop supplying rice snacks across the board, he naturally did what he said.However, in order to take care of the dog's self-esteem, when feeding the other dogs, he tried to avoid rice as much as possible.

But the dog's sense of smell is so keen, anyone who has eaten snacks and who has not eaten rice will know it as soon as they smell it. Therefore, invisibly, this difference directly caused class conflicts among dogs, and they could barely do it. Rice, who looks like a big brother, completely let himself go.

Early the next morning, Xia Dongli, who got up early because he had an appointment with the engineering team, saw Rice riding on Defu with his own eyes. Rice did something, and even licked the paw that Rice had put on it.

To a layman, this appearance might be regarded as true love, but in the eyes of Xia Dongli, who knows the language of dogs' movements, there is nothing but speechlessness.

Ahem, a dog lying on top of another dog is not necessarily a Teddy behavior, but also indicates a subordinate relationship.

The dog at the bottom is showing his throat position to show obedience, while the dog at the top is saying: I am your boss, you must listen to me.

Not only male dogs, but female dogs also have this kind of behavior. Among dogs, this behavior is a bit like a leader touching head and shoulders, it is completely dog ​​socialization.

Xia Dongli touched his nose and walked over as if he didn't see it.

Generally, this kind of behavior is done when the dogs meet for the first time. The reason why it has been delayed until now is probably because the behavior of eating during this period stimulated Rice.

"I don't think this is right, it's inappropriate." He pretended he didn't see it, but someone was dissatisfied. Uncle Geng put his hands in his sleeves, and looked at the two dogs outside with a very unpredictable expression.

Xia Dongli: "Uncle Geng?"

"You have to take care of that dog." Uncle Geng didn't turn his head, his expression was extremely profound, "How can a rice extraordinary dog ​​match an ordinary dog? I'll find a good match for him another day..."

"Uncle Geng!" Xia Dongli felt that his hairs were about to explode, and he hurriedly reached out to stop him, "The child is still young!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt that something was wrong. Rice was already an adult dog, and the excuse that he was still young was too bad.Unexpectedly, before he patched it, Uncle Geng nodded slowly with a serious face: "That's right, the child is still young, let's let it play more."

Xia Dongli: =. =

Alright, although these words are a bit scumbag, as long as the goal is achieved, it will be fine.

Seeing Xia Dongli walking around the room in a hurry, moving tables, chairs and benches out and heating water to fill the thermos, Uncle Geng raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I made an appointment with the engineering team to install the windmill today." Xia Dongli put the cleaned cup upside down on the plate, and put a towel on it to block the dust, "Then, Secretary Li said that he wanted to collect Some photos and videos are used as records, and if the windmill is easy to use in the future, we will see if it can be promoted.”

Of course, there is also a prerequisite for making records. The windmill installed by Xia Dongli for civil power generation is about 10 kilowatt-hours per hour if it is operated at full power.

Although there is state support, the fee he has to pay is also in the four digits, but fortunately, the fee can be applied for interest-free installments.

Although he is located in a mountainous area, Xiaojin Village where Xia Dongli is located is actually fully covered by electricity. The reason why he installed a windmill after thinking twice is to supply electricity for the coming winter on the one hand, and to Provide independent power consumption for the anti-theft and monitoring network.

The structure and wall thickness of the small brick house doomed it to be unsuitable for heating with traditional adobe kangs, so Xia Dongli planned to lay floor heating at that time.

The advantage of floor heating is that the whole house can keep warm and dry, but the disadvantage is that the floor heating system heats up slowly, and consumes a lot of energy in the process, so once it is turned on, it cannot be turned off until spring arrives, so the electricity consumption will be relatively high. up.

Moreover, Xiaojin Village has recently carried out safety promotion before winter.The Northeast region is very quiet in winter, and people live in scattered places. If there is an accident, it is basically too late to call for help. Therefore, in order to serve as a warning, the publicity cases are more and more terrifying.

After Xia Dongli clicked on it, he was a little frightened, especially after seeing some cases in which families that had only used modern anti-theft protection could still be breached.

The wires and water pipes on the small soil slope of their house are buried underground. On the one hand, this is to prevent the wires from being damaged by the cold winter in the northeast, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent people who want to cut the wires.But according to the police, those who are interested can still cut off the electricity in their home by cutting off the main power supply.

Once there is no main power supply, even if many appliances in their home have batteries, the police will not be able to persist, and there is also the problem of cold after the electric heater is turned off.

But it is different if there is a windmill that can generate electricity. Unless the other party can blow up their windmill, the monitoring and heating system of their home can always maintain power.

This invisibly increases the crime cost of the villain. Unless the other party has a deep hatred with their family, no one will spend so much effort to steal Xia Dongli's house.

So Xia Dongli hesitated again and again, checked a lot of information, and after consulting his parents, he still bit his teeth and placed the order.

Of course, the windmill is not all good. Besides the price, it also has a huge trouble-it is a bit noisy.

Although the leaves of the windmill are not turning fast, even the wind blowing over the flag will make noise, let alone such a big windmill.

The fenders of Xia Dongli's windmill are as big as a bicycle, and they are quite dynamic when they move.Fortunately, after the exploration, the location of the windmill is a little far away from the small brick house, which is not a big problem for humans, but it may take some time for animals to get used to it.

In order to encourage the small animals at home to go through the adaptation period, Xia Dongli specially added an extra meal for everyone.

Then that day, he also received extra meals from the little animals.

The two owl cubs who had started hunting independently knocked on the small window of Xia Dongli's room in the middle of the night, and then they flew to the table flutteringly, showing Xia Dongli the results of their hunting.

Xia Dongli touched the phone and used the flashlight of the phone to shine on the table, but it looked good, and he swallowed all the compliments that had reached his throat.

"Cuckoo~" Two cooperating owls stepped on a dying little green snake, and one of them even stepped on the snake's head, pushing the other's little triangular head up with their heavy weight. Can't get up.

Then, they flapped their little wings cheerfully, proudly and gracefully arching the fluff on their chests, very proud, as if they were waiting for Xia Dongli's compliment.

Xia Dongli was frightened to death, he moved to the bedside with shaking hands to wake Xun Yao up, "Little, Xiaoyu, take a quick look, is this Zhuyeqing?!!"

The author has something to say: The Cat Repays Gratitude

Dongli: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! !

Rice (struggling, dog hair flying): Wang is not fat, Wang is just fluffy!

Frozen Pear (forcing the scale): No, you are not hairy, you are fat! !
