In my days as a farmer

Today's lunch break at Xia Dongli's house was a little different from usual. The mat that usually appeared after lunch hadn't been rolled out. The owner of the cottage put the rice bowl in the water bucket and began to walk around the garden with his hands behind his back.

And behind him, a little milk dog who was still staggering was chasing after him wagging its tail. To be precise, it was chasing the slippers that the young man was stepping on.

"Aww!" Don't run!This is Ben Wang's toy!Stand at attention—bend down—pounce!

Just when the puppy jumped out like a little pumpkin, the youth's slippers just moved away from the spot, and it flew into the air.Not only did it miss the target, but the puppy's four claws failed to grab the ground. It slid out on the bamboo and steel ground for a short distance, and didn't stop until it hit the chair leg.

Cubs at this age are easily distracted. The gray-faced little Wang cub seemed to have suddenly discovered a fun toy. It immediately put down its prey just now, and played the "skating" game on the floor wholeheartedly.

The merle shepherd dog crouching in the grass let out a sigh of relief when it saw this, it changed its posture with its front legs folded and continued to lurk, its beautiful and deep eyes stared at the courtyard.

Unlike cubs, as a responsible dog, it can't let go of its work and play to its heart's content. This territory is the domain of rice. It is the master here, and all plants and trees here are under its management. .

Rice is very busy.

Its friend Xiaotian once shared his work experience with him. As a qualified guard dog, they must have a style. They can’t do things like the kind of things that they can’t bark when they meet a prey. The correct way is to put All crises are strangled where the master cannot see.

Therefore, the rice has to get up earlier than the birds every day to prevent them from secretly eating the grains hung by the owner on the pool. At night, they must be very alert when they sleep, and they are always on guard against nocturnal animals drooling while looking at the chicken coop.

These nocturnal animals are a little more troublesome than the former.

Not only because of their elusiveness, but mainly because the rice wants to drive them away as much as possible before they make a sound that alarms the owner.

——But this point is actually not difficult, because its owner sleeps very well, as long as it is not too much, it will not be disturbed.

And its owner doesn't know about it, because Damiyiwang has carried everything on his back.

But Rice considers himself a mature dog, and it can't do the kind of thing like running up to its owner with a toy in its mouth and wagging its tail to act like a spoiled child... Yes, just like this cub.

"Huh?" The puppy played alone for a while, and suddenly he was attracted by the weeds growing from the gaps in the bamboo and steel hollows, so he started a fight again. After a long time, it struggled with some difficulty The goal for a long time was thrown into Xia Dongli's hands, and then he puffed out his small chest proudly: "Wow!"

Ben Wang successfully defeated the enemy through bloody battles, guarded the peace of his home, and seized one of the enemy's weapons!Please give instructions sir.

Xia Dongli shook the green dog's tail grass in his hand, swept the puppy's nose with the grass awn, successfully exchanged for a sneeze, tied the dog's tail grass to the red braided rope around the puppy's neck, and then He looked at the puppy kindly.The little pup immediately cheered up, and started scratching left and right in circles to chase the dog's tail grass on his neck, but he howled because he was always a little bit angry.

Ah, I miss it so much, when rice was so stupid back then!But the current rice is no longer so easy to deceive.Xia Dongli looked at the pet dog dozing in the grass with some regret.

Maybe someone noticed a key word, that's right, Xia Dongli tied a braided rope around the puppy's neck!This is actually a replacement for the collar.

The puppies grow up fast, and if they use a collar, they have to change the model every few days, so Xia Dongli uses this kind of braided rope with a live buckle as a substitute, so that the puppies can adapt to the life of wearing a collar in advance.

Braided rope is good for everything, but there is no safety buckle.But don't worry, he only puts it on every day when he can see the puppy, and let it fly freely at other times.

By the way, now the three-headed dog is also wearing a collar with his address and contact information on its neck. It was originally custom-made for Rhubarb, but Rhubarb was picked up by its owner before the courier arrived, so there is no can be used.

The shape of the three-headed dog after transformation is about the same as that of Rhubarb, ahem, a little adjustment of the collar can still make do.For listing, he chose a sign without his name on it for San'er to use, but he kept the sign with Rhubarb's name on it.

Seeing that the people who came to pick up the hell three-headed dog were delayed, Xia Dongli simply placed an order for the puppies and three-headed dogs to customize dog tags.

The dog tag of the three-headed dog says San'er. On the one hand, it has three heads. On the other hand, it is the third big dog in the family. This is used to convince Cerberus. ah!Much smoother than Cerberus!Do as the Romans do, you must have a Chinese name when you arrive in China.

As for the name of the cub, it is called Mi Li, which follows the tradition of the old Mi family. Its name was drawn by lottery from a bunch of paper balls with rice balls, rice cakes, and rice soup written on it. Since then, it has officially become Xia Dongli’s family. A member, now ranked first among the juniors.

The other names were not wasted, Xia Dongli packed them up and prepared them for the puppies after Rice.He thinks this name is very cute. With just a change of tone, he can have an English name called Milly just like Rice... The only drawback is that Mi Li is actually a boy, so this name is a bit feminine.

Don't worry about these details though.

When Mi Liwang started to stick out his tongue and pant, Xia Dongli hid the dogtail grass on its neck in time.Puppies are the same as human babies. If they are too excited during the day, they will fall into a deep sleep at night, so they cannot control the desire to excrete, and they may have nightmares, which will lead to poor sleep at night.

Xia Dongli didn't want to be woken up in the middle of the night to wash the cub's ass.

"Wow~" The puppy was a little unhappy that his toy was taken away. It circled around Xia Dongli's feet, hitting Xia Dongli's ankle again and again with his small head, and showed that he was still alive. The desire to play.

Xia Dongli picked it up and put it on all fours, then stretched out his hand and quickly passed it in front of its eyes.The hunting nature of dogs made the cub immediately stretch out its fur claws to grab Xia Dongli's hand, but failed after several attempts because the owner's hand was too fast.The most important thing is that Xia Dongli's hands are too close, and the dog's eyes will involuntarily close when it feels danger, so Mi Li can't help but close his eyes every time it is critical.

Xia Dongli's hand continued to swipe and swipe in front of its eyes, and the puppy focused on slapping and slapping, but after a while, its catching movements gradually slowed down.

Mi Li was a little tired. This time was the time for the whole family to sleep together. Its biological clock told it to go to bed now. The play just now also consumed its energy. In addition, Xia Dongli's actions just now prompted it to blink quickly. These actions all emptied the energy of the little cub.

In the end, Mi Li finally grabbed the hand that was always dangling in front of his eyes. It nibbled lightly on Xia Dongli's finger, then hugged his master's hand with satisfaction and fell asleep in his arms.

In the dream, it returned to the narrow cave when it was a child.It was very small, and the entrance of the cave was very narrow. My mother would block the entrance of the cave with weeds. The air inside was very bad, but it was the smell that made her feel at ease.

As the youngest cub in the family, Mi Li was bullied by her brothers and sisters since she was a child, but she was allowed to sleep in the middle when she was sleeping.Although the mother always dislikes the pain when it has teeth and sucks milk, occasionally it will allow it to sleep while breastfeeding.

This is also the happiest time for Mi Li.

Then all of a sudden, my mother didn't come back after going out for a long time. My brothers and sisters were too hungry, so they didn't obey my mother's instructions and got out of the hole. Later, later...

Xia Dongli felt that the little cub, who was held in his arms and behaved like a plush toy, twitched its hind legs, and then let out a whining sound from its throat.

He hurriedly lowered his head to see that the puppy looked very uncomfortable, and his two front paws were struggling to pull. Xia Dongli's clothes were caught by the sharp nails of the puppy, and he hurriedly squeezed the puppy's paws. Thinking of the cub struggling with its claws pinched even more fiercely.

Just when he was in a hurry to put the cub down, a hand suddenly reached out and pinched the nape of Mi Li's neck.It's amazing to say that the rice grain stopped struggling as soon as he pinched it.As Xun Yao's hand tightened and loosened, the puppy's brows gradually loosened, and soon settled down.

"Is this a nightmare?" Xia Dongli asked softly. He suddenly felt a warmth at his feet. It turned out that Rice heard the movement and came over.Facing the worried eyes of his pet dog, Xia Dongli simply squatted down and brought the cub in front of Rice.

The merle-colored border collie sniffed the pup, then stuck out his tongue and licked the pup's face roughly.The cub that was suddenly attacked did not wake up, but became more stable in the loving licking, and even the little paw that was originally waving settled down and shrank obediently to the chest.Seeing this, Xia Dongli was about to put the cub down and let Rice take care of him, when he saw that Rice had stood up and turned away mercilessly.

Well, so rough!Don't you care about your cubs? !Xia Dongli was shocked.Under his gaze, Da Mi gracefully walked back to the grass and crouched down, staring into the distance, and only had to hang a sign of "Don't disturb while in a daze" on his body.

The corner of Xia Dongli's mouth twitched, and he looked at another dog. Cerberus, who had fought with Rice for the cub, was drying his belly in the sun at the moment. There was an intoxicated aura exuding from their bodies, and they didn't notice the movement on their side at all.

This is probably the difference between a dog father raising a child and a dog mother raising a child... Xia Dongli, who was dumped by the two dogs, could only helplessly stand up holding Nuan Bobo's cub.Xun Yao glanced at him sideways and asked, "Is it heavy? Do you want to replace me?"

"It's okay." Xia Dongli shook the cub, expressing that he could still bear it. While combing the pup's dense little lanugo hair, he raised his jaw to Xun Yu to signal him to look at the pool, "I just found out There was a small problem, and the bees above were fetching water in the little pond."

Xun Yao followed his gaze and looked over. His eyesight was excellent, and although he was a little away from the pool, he could clearly see a few bees lying on the edge of the pool to fetch water and then take off to the roof.

Such an unusual scene, he was a little puzzled.

Xia Dongli smacked his lips, changed his posture and pointed at Xun Yao with his hands free: "I checked before, and the bees have a great demand for water, and they have to fetch fresh water every day, that is to say Every day the bees fly down to get water, maybe several times in summer..."

Before he finished speaking, Xun Yao understood what he meant: "Dong is worried that the bees will conflict with the animals in the yard after a long time?"

"Yes." Xia Dongli nodded in affirmation.

To the north of the small brick house is Baiyun Mountain, and to the south is the mountain road near Xiaojin Village. The land he contracted is divided around the small brick house, but generally it is mainly in the direction of east-southeast.Because the beehive is on the roof, the bees will fly to a certain height when they pass the small courtyard back and forth, which has little impact on the lives of the people in the small brick house.

On the contrary, it is to fetch water. For the bees, the nearest water source is the small pond in the courtyard, so the bees that fetch water must have a low-flying process in the courtyard.

Let's not talk about the birds in Xia Dongli's house who are staring at the bees and chickens, but just talk about other small animals in the yard.The small animals in Xia Dongli's family have now formed the habit of going to the small pond to drink water. After a long time, they will always bump into bees.

Working bees are very sensitive and vigilant. They will never hesitate in the face of suspected attacks. Worker bees collecting water will definitely sting and serve.

It's okay to be stung once, but bees have another characteristic. They have a kind of gland in their tail sting and upper jaw. After a bee has attacked an enemy, the secretion of this gland will be concentrated on the attacked target. The fire point is like telling your companion to fight here.

This is one of the reasons why you should wash your hands immediately after being stung by a bee.

But the point is that the little animals don't know, and they are often kept in cages, so if they are attacked, there is nowhere to hide.

Xun Yao followed his gaze to the rooftop, pondered for a while: "Do you want to remodel it?"

"Ok?"

"Use a water pump to pump the water from the pond up," Xun Ao pointed to the rainwater collector at home, "there is a water retention device on the roof, and after a circle on the top, it will be injected into the rainwater collector. Bees can get water on the roof. There is no need to fly down again, so the loss of water is not large, but it is a bit wasteful of electricity."

Xia Dongli's mouth grew bigger, and he looked hesitantly at the distance between the building and the small pond, "It's so far away...can it be sucked?"

"There is a pump for the well, and this distance is no problem," Xun Ao said calmly, "Or you can directly pump the water from the rainwater collector, but this way the water may not be fresh, and you need to install another filter."

Xia Dongli looked at Xun Yao in shock.Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao, where did you learn so much strange knowledge! ! ? ! !And why do I get the feeling you're getting a little excited?

"Do you want to do it?" Xun Yao looked serious, and there was still a little anticipation in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.Xia Dongli's heart softened, he clenched his teeth and said, "Do it!"

Isn't it just spending another sum of money!No problem, the debt is all on the bees!At that time, they must be urged to work hard to make money and pay off their debts.
