My 1995 Small Farm.

Many things that adults find boring.

Children love it.

Chen Ling could understand that tamping was fun.

After they finished looking at it, they actually formed a group and climbed the two-foot-high wall of the deer enclosure, walking along it continuously.

They had a lot of fun.

Chen Ling didn't understand this.

I don't think they ever played like this when they were kids.
They really enjoy digging holes, climbing trees to escape birds, and jumping down from high places like Wang Zhenzhen and Liu Nier.

He can empathize with this.

It was indeed exciting, fun, and interesting.

But what's so fun about walking around along the wall?

Not interesting.

However, among the three children, the most mischievous is still my eldest son, Rui Rui.

He quickly stood on the wall and spotted the lime next to the sand.

His eyes lit up immediately.

He stretched out his two little arms and called out to Chen Ling:

"Daddy! Daddy! Get down!"

"What? You're not going to play here anymore?"

Chen Ling reached out and lifted him down.

Then they also took Little Chestnut and Little Fatty down.

As soon as I picked them up, I saw Rui Rui run to the lime, spread his legs, and pee all over it.

With a 'sizzle' sound.

The lime immediately emitted puffs of smoke.

"Damn it, you little brat..."

Chen Ling was dumbfounded. So that's why you were so excited.

I have no idea where my brat got such a good memory.

I think I only used lime once, when growing mushrooms.

He remembered it?
Remember, if you urinate on lime, it will smoke?
Turning his head, Chen Ling saw that the chubby boy was also eager to try it, so he quickly reminded him: "Xiao Ming, you can't play with this lime, especially you can't hold it in your hands. It will burn your hands and cause them to peel. Once they peel, it will hurt when you touch water."

Even in winter, my hands still crack.

Did you hear me? "

At the same time, I pulled Rui Rui, who had finished urinating, to my side and helped him pull up his pants.

This brat has been a troublemaker since he was little.

If I don't tell him he can't touch it with his hands, he'll really dare to go and pee in the mud.

……

"Wealth!"

While Chen Ling was taking care of the child, Wang Lixian brought Zhao Dahai over from the other side.

Zhao Dahai was accompanied by his daughter, Ya Ya.

"You just called yesterday saying you were coming back, and you're back so soon?"

"Yeah, it's almost Chinese New Year, why aren't you coming back? What are you waiting for?"

Chen Ling walked over with a smile.

Little Chestnut behind him waved happily: "Yaya, come and play!"

The children have successfully reunited.

A little while later, the lynx also came over.

He came with Zhao Dahai, but his energy was focused on the little wolfhounds that Wang Li was raising.

Together with Wang Lixian, they planned to train these puppies properly.

Then crossbreed them with Chen Ling's Erhei, Damao, and other first-generation wolfhounds.

Look at the effect.

In short, it's just an experiment.

In addition, while clearing debris and trees from the deer farm, we also found several litters of stray dogs.

Honestly, stray dogs these days are just useless.

This is not an intentional denigration.

The problem is that there's not much good stuff in the garbage these days, and leftover food is too hard to find.

If even one puppy survives in a litter, that's considered incredibly lucky.

In winter, let alone a puppy surviving, it's considered a blessing if the mother dog doesn't have a difficult birth.

This is not an exaggeration.

Because they ate too little.

In this season, the main wild animals in the wild are pheasants and rabbits; catching one is like celebrating the New Year.

More often than not, they just went hungry.

Moreover, these days people beat stray dogs whenever they see them; no one would be kind enough to feed them.

Only someone like a lynx, who frequently raises dogs, loves dogs, understands their habits, and can't bear to watch puppies die before they even leave their nest.

They all stayed.

When they're fully grown, we'll pick out the good seedlings, but it's okay if we don't.

They have a dog farm now, so having a few more dogs isn't a big deal.

Chen Ling was also thinking:
"If we rescue too many puppies like these and can't accommodate them all, I can keep them in the cave and let them mate with jackals, wolves, and other animals. Let's use them for experiments first."

The things he raises are basically all useful.

We can't just eat dry food at home.

Even Afu and Ashou are still working at the zoo and can't go home for the Lunar New Year.

Not to mention these puppies.

“I’ve handed over all the puppies from your dog farm that are old enough to leave their kennels to Yu Qi’an. Now he’s joined us too, running a dog farm in Beijing to help ease some of the pressure on us.”

Otherwise, she'd be having way too many children.

Chen Ling told Lynx about the general situation in the city.

After listening to this, Lynx also felt that it was no problem to hand this matter over to Yu Qi'an.

He added, "I've sent away the hawkers who came to the village before. The expedition team they brought was really suspicious. I saw the picture of that purple unicorn; it looks like a Tibetan mastiff or a Central Asian mastiff."

They simply refuse to acknowledge it.

I don't believe that people who study dogs don't understand these things.

Since they are not being honest, and there are few people left in the village, we will not allow them to enter.

I went to the police station and found Captain Li, and they were chased away.

"I heard that expedition team even came back from abroad?"

Chen Ling asked.

To be honest, he had heard some of the hype surrounding the Qilin dog.

But if it's a purple Qilin, then that's a bit fantastical.

Whether it's a Tibetan Mastiff or a Central Asian Mastiff, getting them to produce a purple-haired offspring is no less difficult than finding a white crow.

"Yes, he came back from abroad."

Lynx nodded, petting the dog as he said, "There's one more thing. Before Old Wu and the others left, they called home and heard that those two Japanese have been very active lately, traveling back and forth between Hong Kong and Taiwan."

Besides showing great interest in Boss Liang's instant noodles, they were also very interested in the fish over there. "Fish?"

Chen Ling was completely confused upon hearing this.

"Yes, regardless of whether it's fish or not, what Mr. Wu means is that you and Mr. Liang should reduce your cooperation with Hong Kong and Taiwan for now. Your instant noodles are so popular, if you have too much contact with Hong Kong and Taiwan, there are quite a few pro-Japanese people on both sides."

Lynx laughed as he spoke: "You, a disciple from Taiwan, are quite concerned about us, afraid that our good things will be stolen by the Japanese."

Chen Ling laughed upon hearing this: "Of course, I'm pretty good at judging people."

Zhao Dahai replied, "I don't understand what you're talking about either."

I knew it; when it comes to food, even foreigners can't compare.

Many city leaders admire you greatly. The other day when I was drinking with them, I said, "The more the Japanese try to steal and learn, the more it proves how amazing my brother is."

Your sister-in-law and Dujuan both said that Fugui is so good at researching food; when will he get into Western cuisine too, and use foreign things to defeat foreigners?

Chen Ling was taken aback for a moment, then gave a thumbs up: "Great idea, sister-in-law. Let's look into it together another day."

He made a mental note of it; after all, he was very attentive to food.

I just don't have the energy right now.

He just plans to start making spicy strips and pickled vegetables after the New Year.

Let Wang Qingzhong and Wang Jusheng partner up to set up a small factory to make these snacks and food products, and also use the name "Fugui Mountain Villa".

Sales will definitely be no problem then.

"Haha, then we'll leave it to you to study. Now let's go check on those dogs. We're keeping them in the yard where Aunt Hongyu used to raise cattle."

Zhao Dahai smiled, then called the children, and the group returned to the old town together.

Liang Yuemin had previously thought the little white calf was fun and cute. One day, he happened to see a mother and calf of yellow cattle, one big and one small, being sold on the road, so he bought them.

After buying it, they even bought an old house in the county town and converted it into a cattle-raising yard.

Later, they realized that the difference between them and the little white calf was too great, and they couldn't raise it well, so they gave it to Chen Ling to raise, and the yard became empty.

No one lives in this yard. Since it's not too far from the construction site near the deer farm, Liang Hongyu helped clean it up so they could store some extra building materials and miscellaneous items.

The puppies that the lynx picked up are being raised here.

When the lynx opened the door, there were more than a dozen puppies of all sizes inside.

Lying under a jujube tree, basking in the sun.

The fur is mainly black, yellow, and gray, with the rest being mixed colors.

"Don't be fooled by the sheer number; the number of dead puppies from those kennels combined is far more than this. I found three kennels near your construction site, and the rest are from south of the bridge, west of the city, and near the sand quarry..."

Lynx said, "It was an accident at the construction site. I didn't expect there to be dogs there. It was Brother Xian who saw it. He has too many dogs at home and couldn't keep them all, so he contacted me."

When we looked, we realized something was wrong; there were dead puppies.

Some were crushed to death by their mother dogs. In cold weather, puppies squeezed under their mother's belly are easily suffocated or crushed to death.

There were also dogs that were driven out by their littermates and had half their bodies eaten by other big dogs.

I took it to heart...

Let's keep searching around, in underpasses, in roadside grass, by the lake, and ask around. We should be able to find it eventually.

Many stray dogs were found, and some of the puppies were in terrible condition.

Some entire colonies perished, frozen solid.

I took all the puppies home.

I didn't really take care of the big dog, just occasionally throwing in some leftover steamed buns and fried dough sticks.

Plus, you've been using a lot of leftover food here, so those big dogs aren't as afraid of me these past few days.

"Okay, not bad, but these puppies are still not in good condition. They're not only thin, but they're probably sick too. It'll be hard for them to survive the winter. I'll get some goat milk this afternoon."

Before Chen Ling arrived, he had some hopes and dreams after listening to what the lynx had to say.

Let's imagine that there might be some good talents among these stray dogs.

Now that I've come over and looked at them, they're so skinny they're practically aliens.

Apart from his big belly, he was all skin and bones.

It's not the lynx's fault; the puppy was just too hungry.

Furthermore, stray dogs carry many germs, and the temperature difference between day and night is significant in winter. They are prone to colds, fevers, and distemper. It's quite remarkable that they've survived this long.

"Yes, I dare not feed them medicine, I only dare to feed them raw eggs, to slowly raise them to be stronger."

The lynx sighed as well.

Such a weak dog has an extremely fragile stomach; if you dare to give it medicine, it will die right then and there.

Even the toughest mongrel can't withstand medication, let alone these puppies who are born with congenital deficiencies.

Chen Ling nodded and said, "Leave it to me. I'll feed it some goat milk and then fumigate the area with herbs. Dogs take herbs too."

Zhao Dahai coaxed the children from the side, saying, "The puppy is sick. Your uncle has to treat the puppy. Only when it's cured will the puppy play with you."

……

In the afternoon, Chen Ling took the chubby boy and Liu Yinhuan to the countryside.

When he got back, he took a bucket to the abandoned flour mill in the west of the city, found his own dairy goat, and milked half a bucket of milk.

Upon arriving in the county town, he returned to his small courtyard in the south of the town, ventured out into winter, found the mother leopard, and milked some of her milk.

It's a waste for the leopard to have milk.

Moreover, the leopard's milk in the cave is rich in spiritual energy.

When mixed with goat milk and fed to puppies, it is much more effective than simply adding spiritual water.

I fed him like that for two days.

Those skinny little dogs visibly became lively and energetic.

Compared to before, when he had snot and eye discharge, looking like he was about to die of illness or starvation, he's much better now.

And what about these two days?

Chen Ling was not simply circling around the dog.

I rode a horse to Fenglei Town.

The clothes that Wang Susu bought for her younger sister have been delivered.

Gifts for my brothers-in-law's families were also delivered before the New Year.

Everything was bought in the city.

Then they went up the mountain and cleaned up the place where their father-in-law and mother-in-law lived.

The two elders are coming back to celebrate the Chinese New Year this year.

Now that the family has a car, it has remained there ever since Liang Yuemin's license plate was chased. It makes it convenient to pick up and drop off the elderly couple, whether they come back or not.

In addition to Liang Yuemin's family, Liang Hongyu and her husband, Zhao Dahai's family, and Shanmao's family, they will all be spending the Spring Festival in the village this year.

Wang Susu is no longer worried about having no one to help take care of her child.

Even if the two little ones can't be without her, at least someone can help Chen Ling with other things at home.

Rui Rui is also being watched over.

It can take on too much of the burden.

Then Wang Cunye and his companion could return home with peace of mind.

However, the deer farm in Chenling has not completely stopped construction yet.

The two of them waited for the work to stop before returning to Fenglei Town.

Chen Ling paved the way by cleaning up the house first.

Then heat up the earthen bed.

Otherwise, a house that has been uninhabited for over a year without any human presence would be too gloomy and cold.

It's damp on the mountain too.

Pack everything up first. If they want to come back, just send them back. (End of Chapter)
