Chapter 14 Birthday (begging for collection and asking for all kinds of thanks)
"Mom, make me two pairs too."
Wang Fang felt a little incredible when she heard Zhang An's words.
Zhang An used to wear cloth shoes made by himself, but after entering high school, he stopped wearing them. He felt that his classmates were wearing shoes sold on the street, and he would be looked down upon for wearing cloth shoes in school.
So I stopped making shoes for Zhang An after high school.
“Ah, don’t you like shoes?”
“Wearing cloth shoes at home is comfortable, doesn’t stink your feet, and is durable.”
“Okay, mom will give them to you. You can do it, but the previous shoe patterns won’t work anymore. Your feet are much bigger than before. Let’s draw a shoe pattern for you first.” Wang Fang put down the needle and thread in her hand and found the dried bamboo shoots she had picked up from the mountain. Ye, drew a pair of shoe patterns for Zhang An.
The next morning, when Wang Fang got up, she opened the door of her house and found three little puppies lying at the door.
When Zhang An got up, he looked a little confused.
This big dog is entrusting his child to him. That big dog must be from the village, he can understand what he is saying.
No wonder when I came back yesterday, I felt like there was always something watching me behind me.
Zhang An didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He told his parents what he saw about the puppy yesterday, hiding the part in the space.
What else can I do? Just keep it. Anyway, I don’t have a dog at home.
Having one is also raising, raising three is also raising, and they can also look after the home and the home.
Even if the big dog believes in him so much, he can't live up to his trust.
The three little ones woke up and seemed to have discovered themselves. They immediately crawled towards Zhang An.
"Okay, now I look for you with my eyes wide open, so I rely on you."
"If you rely on me, I will rely on you. It will be more lively to raise and care for the home. ”
Hearing that his son wanted to raise them all, Zhang Jianguo began to look for tools to make a kennel for the three little ones.
The puppy is still small now, so although it doesn’t need to be a big kennel, the puppy grows quickly and will grow into a big dog in a few months.
So the father and son spent a long time looking for wood and built a small wooden house less than two meters tall.
Wang Fang dug out the tattered clothes that could no longer be worn and put a thick layer inside.
Since then, the three little ones have settled in their own home.
When I saw the three little ones yesterday, the hair on their bodies was not full, but today it has almost grown.
The three puppies are all covered in blue and black dog hair, and their ears are still standing up.
It’s hard to imagine that their mother is a native dog.
Maybe their father is a good dog.
The largest one has a tuft of yellow hair on its forehead, and the smaller one has a small circle of yellow hair on its neck.
The next one is the smallest one. It is the dying cub that Zhang An saw yesterday. It has green and black hair all over its body, without any stray hairs.
Zhang An named them Big Tiger, Second Tiger, and Little Tiger.
At first I thought it was a name.
After lunch, a few of the little ones started whining, and Zhang An knew they were hungry.
Take out the rice soup that you made when cooking just now and give it to a few little ones.
Maybe they still remember the space spring water they drank yesterday. Today’s rice soup was also boiled with space spring water, so it tasted very delicious.
While Zhang An was feeding the dog, he remembered seeing those excavators digging on the road yesterday, so he told his father. "Those are the construction teams hired by the county to build roads from the town to the county. It was decided a few years ago, but the work has been delayed. It is normal for you to go to school and not know this."< br>
While drinking tea, Zhang Jianguo answered his son’s questions.
Tea is made from Prunella vulgaris picked in the mountains, dried and brewed. Making tea with Prunella vulgaris can clear away heat and relieve summer heat. Many elderly people in the countryside like to pick it and make tea.
Of course, tea is also grown on the mountain, but the tea leaves collected by the villagers are usually sold to people who come specifically to collect tea leaves.
"Oh? Has the road been built? Then this road shouldn't pass through the entrance of our village, right?"
Zhang An has some memory. The road built in later generations did not pass through the entrance of Changqing Village, but a road in front of the village entrance. Passing by Shiyakou.
Because if we want to plan from the entrance of Changqing Village, we have to build a bridge.
Because the river at the entrance of the village is more than 20 meters wide, there is no hope.
“That’s for sure, it’s from Shiyakou. It’s not far from the village, about half a mile away.”
In the blink of an eye, it’s the end of August, August 30th , is the day Zhang An was born.
Birthdays are rarely celebrated in the countryside, so Zhang An didn’t remember his birthday much.
But that night, Wang Fang not only cooked a meat dish, but also made a bowl of longevity noodles for Zhang An, which had two fried eggs in addition to the sauteed seeds.
I don’t raise chickens or ducks at home, so I must have bought these eggs.
Every year on Zhang An’s birthday, Wang Fang would make delicious food for Zhang An.
Even in later generations, they would do it every year. After Zhang An left, Wang Fang could no longer do it.
While eating, Wang Fang mentioned whether she wanted to find someone to talk to her son about his marriage.
Zhang An will be nineteen years old after this meal, which is not too young in the countryside.
So in the countryside, there are already a lot of people at this age who are not married but have not gone to the town to get the certificate because it is illegal. They will not get the certificate until they are of legal age.
Zhang An quickly said that he was only nineteen years old, so there was no rush and he would wait two more years.
After some hard talking, Wang Fang gave up the idea, and Zhang An breathed a sigh of relief.
I am not of legal age, so I cannot break the law.
The right path is to follow the country in everything.
After several days of soaking in the small fish pond, many small fish have been brought in from the small ditch.
After seeing that there was little water seepage, Zhang An also secretly released some fry.
I originally wanted to release some eels, but I was worried that these guys would drill holes everywhere in the ground, so I didn't release them.
Having nothing to do this afternoon, Zhang An found the ground cage and wanted to cast a net in the river. After saying something to his mother who was making shoes, he went out and walked towards the river.
Finding a place where the water flow was not very fast and lowering the net, Zhang An started swimming along the river.
The weather this year is good. It rains often, but it doesn’t last long, which ensures the water supply and does not cause waterlogging.
In Dawumeng Mountain, there are many landslides and mudslides caused by flood season.
Because most places are covered with dirt hills, heavy rain will wash down the dirt if it lasts for a long time.
So the situation this year is pretty good. The rice in the rice fields is growing very well. During this period, you can already see that a lot of rice has begun to ear.
The corn in the field has also begun to bud, and in a while, the farmers will start to get busy.
But everyone will be happy if they can get busy in the harvest year.
