Little Life on An American Ranch

  Chapter 404 Catch the pig

   After eating, Jian Heng took a rest for a while, and was about to catch pigs, but when he arrived at the door, his mother stopped him.

   "Come on, take this with you." Sun Xiuying handed Jian Heng a large bamboo basket, covered with a clean white gauze.

   Uncovering a corner of the gauze, Jian Heng found that the basket was full of food, such as fried fish, meatballs, buns, because there were everything, and the whole basket was made by Sun Xiuying in the morning to save for the New Year.

  Jian Heng didn't want to bring this thing: "I said Mom, who still gives away these things now, who can't afford steamed buns!"

"If I ask you to give it away, you will give it away. There is so much nonsense. What do you young people know? Can the things on the street be as clean and delicious as the ones made at home?" The craftsmanship has gone beyond a few square feet of roadside stalls.

   "Okay, okay, I'll give it away! To be honest, it's not shameful enough to give this thing away." Jian Heng muttered a few words and finally put these things in the cab.

   Sitting in the car, Jian Heng heard his mother tap the window and told him to be careful on the road, so he nodded and waved his hand at his mother: "Go back quickly, it's still cold outside!"

   After speaking, he started the car and drove directly towards the pigsty at home.

The pigsty in Jian Heng’s house is not dirty at all, and all the pigs are free-range, and no one is watching the pigs. The only person in charge in the pigsty is a dog, a four-eyed dog, but it’s not four-eyed black, black is black It's a pity that the limbs of the body are golden-yellow hairs, which is the so-called iron clad with gold.

  The name is also like this, it is called iron clad gold.

  Seeing Jian Heng approaching, Tie Baojin immediately stood up, wagging his tail to welcome Jian Heng.

  Walking to the dog, Jian Chen stretched out his hand and scratched the dog's head, then got a piece of bone-in meat for it, and the iron-clad gold happily gnawed it.

At this time, Mr. Yao also appeared at the pigsty with a big red bucket. Jian Heng thought that Mr. Yao was here to feed the dogs, so he said with a smile, "You are more thoughtful, I forgot to let My mother cooked a little more food, and Zhao Changshan and the others were gone all of a sudden, so I didn't think about feeding the dog."

  Master Yao looked at Jian Heng and asked strangely: "Why do you feed the dog?"

   "If you don't feed the dog, won't the dog starve to death?" Jian Heng was even more surprised when he heard what Mr. Yao said.

  Old Master Yao took a look at Jian Heng, and then sighed: "You said you don't know how to raise dogs, you don't know how to raise dogs! I thought you were wronged before. A good dog doesn't need to be fed, it can find food for itself."

"Ah?!" Jian Heng heard that some dogs don't need to be fed. These dogs are hounds. In order to keep them wild, as the owner, they will not be fed. And these hounds never want to be fed. They are hungry. Go out to find food, go home to sleep and watch the door when you are full.

  But Jian Heng never expected that his family had such a group of dogs, and he would go out to find dogs to eat.

   Thinking of the dogs looking for food by themselves, Jian Heng became a little worried again: "Could they go out to eat chickens and ducks from other pastures?"

After hearing this, Mr. Yao didn't want to look at Jian Heng, and said directly: "If this is the case, can it be called dog training? This dog needs to be trained to know what to eat and what not to eat, and at the same time to distinguish between domesticated and wild things. That's the real training."

   "So amazing?" Jian Heng looked at the iron covered with gold, and couldn't help reaching out and scratching its head again.

  At this time, Mr. Yao walked to the side of the pigsty, and poured the buckets he was carrying into the food tank of the pigsty one by one. The buckets contained a nutritious meal for two sows.

   This is what Zhao Changshan specifically asked Mr. Yao to help these few days when he left. As for Jian Heng, Zhao Changshan didn't think of using it, and knew that he couldn't afford it. More importantly, Zhao Changshan didn't trust his boss to do this kind of work.

At this time, two sows who had just given birth were squatting in the pigsty. It stands to reason that sows should not give birth this season, but who made these two sows so powerful? She conceived Zhusheng's first litter in no time, and all of them worked hard. One gave birth to eight piglets and the other gave birth to eleven piglets. Fortunately, the conditions here at Jian Heng are good. Although there is no heating, the pigsty is fully enclosed and there are soft grass wadding in the pigsty. The little piglet has used the electric heater for a month after birth. All of them are quite strong, and it is no small miracle that none of the piglets died young.

   Now the little piglets have just reached the full moon, and it is thirty days old today, and it is time to prepare to wean them in the next few days.

  Jian Heng knew that the piglets should be weaned, not because Jian Heng knew how to raise pigs, but because Zhao Changshan had told Jian Heng many times that Jian Heng's ears were almost callused. It's not easy for Jian Heng to deprive Zhao Changshan of the fun of a job like this, so it's up to Zhao Changshan to decide when the piglet is weaned.

   Scratching the dog's head, Jian Heng let go of the dog, and went directly to the door of the pigsty, jumped over the fence, and came to the playground inside the pigsty.

Now two sows who are new mothers are eating separately across a fence. When they saw Jian Heng walking in, this sow just turned her head and glanced at Jian Heng. After realizing that it was Jian Heng, she continued He lowered his head and ate his food.

  Some clever little pigs followed suit, waiting for their mother to look up and poke their little heads into the mother's food bowl to steal some food.

   Aww! Ow!

  Jian Heng reached out and grabbed a little pig by both ears and picked it up. After looking at it, he found that it was a little boar, so he put it down again.

  When the sow heard her piglet screaming, she immediately raised her head and stared at Jian Heng until Jian Heng put the piglet down before lowering her head and continuing to eat her own food.

  Old Master Yao heard the little piglet screaming as if he was about to be slaughtered, and ran over curiously to have a look, and found that Jian Heng was holding the piggy ears, so he asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

  Jian Heng replied: "Choose a pig, send two gilts to Zhao Changshan's family."

"I said, do you have a brain? You can't tell the difference between a boar and a sow. You have to pick it up like this. The boar has **** on the back, but the sow doesn't! And the boar's **** is under the belly! Hey, look at you stupid!"

   "Oh, I forgot about it" Jian Heng put down the howling pig in his hand after hearing this, and began to observe.

  Finding the strongest gilt in the group, Jian Heng walked over directly, grabbed the pig's ears with both hands, and picked up the gilt.

  Just walked to the fence of the pigsty, and heard the iron clad gold barking loudly in his direction.

   Jian Heng turned his head and immediately called out: "I got an x!"

  I saw the sow rushing towards me with its mouth wide open. It clearly wanted to bite me and rescue its eldest daughter from Jian Heng's clutches.

  Jian Heng realized that something was wrong, jumped lightly, and climbed over the fence of the pigsty, but the gilt in his hand fell into the fence in a panic.

The sow saw that her daughter was out of danger from the 'bad guy', so she stretched out her mouth and gave the little sow a couple of slaps, and then hummed twice as if warning Jian Heng, the pair The pig and his wife returned to the side of the food bowl together.

   "I had an x, and I was almost bitten by a pig today." Jian Heng was a little restless now.

  Old Master Yao said with a smile: "It's strange for a pig to bite you. You've already started stealing people's piglets. Why don't you allow the sow to protect the piglets!"

  Jian Heng didn't want to talk to the old man now, so he turned over and immediately stood in the pigsty again, this time running back to steal a piglet.

However, Jian Heng's plan was quickly seen through by the sow. When Jian Heng stood in the pigsty again, the sow didn't even think about it this time, and rushed towards Jian Heng, wailing as she rushed. shriek.

  In an instant, Jian Heng stood outside the pigsty again.

   "Is it fun?" Jian Heng saw that Mr. Yao was lying on the fence with both hands, looking at him with a smile, so he yelled at the old man.

  Master Yao smiled and said, "Why isn't it fun? You've never seen you in such a mess before. Go on, go on, I'm going to see how you catch this pig today."

   "I'll change the head office to another pen!" Jian Heng transferred to another sow.

Who knew that the other sow had already seen what happened to the neighbor's house, and when she saw Jian Heng coming in, she was even crazier than the previous one. She straightened her body and ran towards Jian Heng. She didn't hit Jian Heng but There was a muffled sound when it hit the wooden fence, which shows how strong the force is, and if it hits the person right, it will at least be half disabled.
