Defeat natural disasters with farming

Ye Yu pointed to the white puppy in the middle and asked, "Is it just a male or a female?"

Ye Shuan took a look, "It's a male dog. It's just right that you like this dog. It's the first tiger born. It has very strong legs."

After speaking, he patted his chest again, "I guarantee that this dog will be a good dog when it grows up, and it will be no problem to take care of the nursing home."

Ye He looked from left to right, he was reluctant to see every dog, Ye Yu looked at him like that, if there were not ten dogs too many, he might have to take them all away.

"Why don't you just choose this one?" Under the gaze of the two big dogs, Ye Yu stepped forward to pet the little white dog.

It may be because it was just one month old, the puppy's fur is very soft, especially when you put your hand on its head, the warmth and fluctuations are transmitted through the fur. For some reason, Ye Yu felt a feeling of belonging The throb of life.

It also stuck out its pink tongue and licked Ye Yu's hand, then tilted its head and looked at him with a pair of clear almond eyes.

"That's it!"

Smiling, Ye He crouched over, head to head with his younger brother, and looked at it together.

One said to name it, and the other enthusiastically agreed.

Because the two families had agreed to adopt a puppy before Hu Zi gave birth, so when they chose, Ye Shuan took the little white dog out of the den and put it in Ye Yu's arms.

The little limp clings to Ye Yu's hand, making him a little at a loss, for fear of hurting it accidentally.

It's really cute and cute, and there is a humming that belongs to a puppy in his throat.

When the brothers brought the puppy home, Mrs. Ye slapped her forehead, "It turns out that the tiger cub has already been born. I've been so busy recently that I forgot about it."

"It just so happens that you brought it back, so I don't need to make another trip."

After she said this, she hurried away, because Ye Cheng's marriage was delayed for a long time, and their family had a lot of work to do, so they couldn't be free.

Taohua first patted the puppy's head, then pulled out a basket from the firewood shed, spread a layer of straw under the basket, and then covered it with the discarded blanket at home.

"This will be your nest from now on."

As if the puppy could understand her words, its small body sniffed left and right around the basket, then jumped up and lay down in the basket, its curly tail swaying behind its buttocks.

"Have you named it yet?" Tao Hua obviously liked it too much, she squatted beside the basket like her two younger brothers.

Ye He shook his head, "Not yet. I thought of a lot of names, but Brother Bao didn't think it was suitable. Sister, you said the name Weiwu is so nice. You can tell that it is a mighty and majestic dog."

Tao Hua twitched her mouth when she heard the words, and hit her younger brother mercilessly, "Fortunately, Brother Bao didn't agree, what kind of name is that?"

Ye He is a person who can withstand blows.He didn't get angry when his name was rejected, "Then what do you call it?"

Ye Yu thought for a while and suggested, "Let's call it Xiaomi. When it grows up, the color of its hair will be a little yellowish, just like the color of Xiaomi."

Taohua read Xiaomi twice, and found it quite fluent, "I think it's very good."

Ye He also nodded, "Then it's called Xiaomi."

The three of them didn't do anything else this afternoon, they squatted in the yard and played with Xiaomi.

Because Xiaomi has only been born for more than a month now, she can't eat too hard food, so at dinner, Taohua specially grinds the steamed buns and hard-boiled eggs into fine pieces, then soaks them in hot water, and then puts the food bowl on the table. past.

In today's farms, if you can feed your dog such a meal, you are a very wealthy family. Most of the other people feed their dogs with their own leftovers, and those who are not particular about not even preparing food for the dog, drive it away. Go out to find food by yourself, if you are not careful, the dog will die if it eats what it shouldn't.

Millet is not picky. He puts his mouth on the food bowl and eats delicious food. At the end of the meal, he is still unsatisfied. When he raised his head, the finely broken egg yolks were hanging on his beard.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Ye teased Xiaomi for a while, and said with satisfaction, "This dog is pretty good. I'll practice it later. It's also good as a hunting dog. When I'm old enough to go hunting in the mountains, I can take it with me."

Second sister-in-law Ye's family is a hunter, and they have three hounds, all of which are extremely fierce. Working together, they can even drive out black bears or small-scale wolves.

The hunting she said is also a common thing. Although their village still focuses on planting, every September and October, when the mountain products are ripe and the animals are fat and strong, the villagers will spontaneously form two teams and go into the mountains. Gather or hunt.

This year is no exception. Last month, the village organized an expedition into the mountains. Guang Yeyu's family picked many kinds of black fungus, mushrooms, and pine nuts. As for hunting, each family got some small prey, such as pheasants and rabbits. some type of.

What is even more fortunate is that no large prey was encountered when entering the mountain this time, so there were no casualties.

Some mountain products will mature in October, so before the snow falls, the village should organize another trip to the mountain.

"I have to go to the mountain once in two days. There is plenty of rain this year, and the mushrooms in the mountain are all in bunches. We can pick more and dry them in the sun when the weather is good. They can be stored until next spring."

Granny Ye calculated in her mind while talking, "We will definitely have a good New Year's Eve dinner this year."

While Aunt Ye agreed, she also reminded, "But you still have to be careful. Didn't you encounter a wild boar when you were hunting last year? If it weren't for the small size of the wild boar, you might not be able to kill it safely."

If they encounter wolves again, they will not be able to run away, but the probability of this should not be high, because the mountain next to their village is actually not too big, and there are at most a few wild boars in it. Black bears and wolves are not people have seen.

The bigger mountain is actually on the east side of this mountain. It is called Jingshan Mountain, which is where Ye Ersao’s natal family lives. There is a village at the foot of that mountain. There are very few villagers in the village, but almost all of them are hunters. Many people are hunters. They are good players, but the girls in their village all want to marry farmers, because they live purely on hunting, it is really depending on the face of God, if they don't catch prey, the whole family will go hungry.

Everyone nodded when they heard Mrs. Ye's words. They are not fools, and safety comes first no matter what.

Ye Yu's family had just talked about entering the mountain the night before, and someone came to inform them to prepare for it the next day, and gathered at the foot of the mountain the next day to enter the mountain together.

Among all the members of the Ye family, Boss Ye and Father Ye took Ye Hai to the county town, and naturally they couldn't participate in this trip to the mountains.

And Ye Laoer is going to participate in the hunt. The traps he sets can catch more pheasants and rabbits than others every year. Some people have learned from him, but they don’t set them up exactly like him. Instead, the gains outweigh the losses. You can only give up.

The rest of the people, except for a few young ones, have to go to the mountains to pick, because it has become a habit for generations to do so.

Ye Yu wanted to go into the mountains with his brothers and sisters. He was not afraid of laughing. He had never been in the mountains when he was so old. The adults thought he was young and weak, so they didn't take him with him no matter what he did.

Ye's mother also felt that it was not at ease to leave a few children who were not as tall as the stove alone at home. It's not that there are not enough people, and the peach blossoms have to be picked along with them.

She thought again, the picking place is actually quite safe, and some young daughters-in-law who just gave birth will take the baby with them, carry the baby behind their backs, and tie a knot with the straps, so as not to delay work at all.

So she discussed with Mrs. Ye for a few words, and the two made a decision. When they went into the mountain tomorrow, they would bring Ye Yu and the others with them.

Because she was going to go to the mountains the next day, Mrs. Ye specially picked a black-bone chicken that had been grown that night. Mushrooms and matsutake, just sprinkle a little salt, and a pot of fresh and delicious black chicken soup is ready.

When Mrs. Ye was still killing chickens, Ye He lay in the stove, staring at the pot eagerly, swallowing from time to time.

When the black-bone chicken soup was ready, he served Old Lady Ye a bowl graciously, "Grandma, use the leftover chicken soup to give me a bowl of fine white noodles tomorrow morning."

The yield of wheat is not high, so there is less flour that is ground, and it is not often eaten at home. Occasionally, when the adults return home from a long trip, they will cook a pot to catch them.

Mrs. Ye glanced at him, "I said, why are you so diligent today, that's all right, hurry up and make chicken soup noodles for you tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Ye He immediately ran out happily, almost throwing off the bowl he was holding.

"Hey, watch out for the threshold, drop the bowl and see how I deal with you."

Looking at his back, Mrs. Ye couldn't help complaining, "Every day you know how to be mischievous."

Tonight, there is not only black-bone chicken soup, but also a large bowl of sauerkraut and potato chips. The staple food is still steamed corn bread. Because it is finely ground, the taste of steamed steamed bread is much better this time.

The black-bone chicken does not have as much meat as ordinary chickens, but it is very suitable for making soup. The soup is rich and smooth, and there is no extra seasoning, just drink a fresh word.

Ye Yu couldn't hold back, drank two bowls, and confessed in his heart while drinking. He probably had to go to the bathroom when he was sleeping at night.

Even the millet soaked in soup is delicious. Tonight, it has no eggs to eat, because Ye Yu has checked that dogs can eat eggs, but it is best to only eat three or four in a week. It's not good for it.

The remaining sauerkraut and potato chips are a common dish at home. Mrs. Ye is quite good at accumulating sauerkraut. Every winter, she saves up a big jar of sauerkraut and picks it up whenever she wants. The sauerkraut is sour and crunchy, which is very appetizing, and it is served with soft potatoes. Of course, the taste is also very good.

The food on the table made them eat clean, as if the plate had been washed by water.

Mrs. Ye laughed when she saw it, "Fortunately, I scooped out some soup just now, otherwise the chicken soup noodles Brother He wanted to eat would be gone."

She thought in her mind that she would make some chicken noodle soup and let the children try it out. As for the adults, they should eat something that would fill their stomachs. Big ball porridge would be very good.
