After leaving the hotel, Zhang Taiping bid farewell to Yang Wanli. It seems that there is no need to spend the night outside tonight, and he can go back now.After exchanging phone numbers with Zhou Sheng, he rode his bike and blended into the traffic.Such an unpleasant incident happened today, and Yang Wanli didn't stop him.Zhou Sheng looked at Zhang Taiping's arrogant and domineering Harley rider, his eyes lit up again, this car is not simple, it seems that Marshal Zhang also needs to make some contacts.

As soon as Zhang Taiping's car got on Huanshan Road, he heard someone calling his name from behind, it was the voices of Zhao Xiaoshu and Zhao Qingsi, surprised that these two people also came out, so he stopped at the side of the road and waited.

The motorcycles of the two also stopped beside Zhang Taiping, Zhao Xiaoshu took off his helmet and said: "I thought you were a soft bastard with a strong outside, but I didn't expect you to be so fierce, you can lift a person up with one hand. "

Zhang Taiping smiled and ignored her, but asked Zhao Qingsi: "Why did you come out too? Aren't you going to sing?"

Zhao Qingsi wiped the hair on his cheeks and said: "It's just a bunch of boring people. It's just that you have changed a lot from before. I thought you would just go up and beat him up. I didn't expect you to be able to endure it for so long."

"There must have been changes over the years, haven't you changed too?" Zhang Taiping waved back and didn't want to get entangled in this matter.

Zhao Xiaoshu saw that no one paid attention to him when they were talking, so he put on his helmet again and said, "Let's go."

Zhao Qingsi shook his head, put on his helmet and started the motorcycle.The speed of the car was not fast when I went back, and it was already night when I got home.

Hearing the sound of the beeping motorcycle, Cai Xiaomei poked her head out from the room and saw Zhang Taiping, and asked in surprise, "Didn't you say you won't come back? Why did you come back?"

"I participated in a middle school class reunion, and I came back early because I felt bored." Zhang Taiping said while pushing the car into the house.

"Oh." Cai Xiaomei took the lantern handed over by Zhang Taiping and took it back into the house. After a while, Yaya ran out with the small lantern. Zhang Taiping warned: "Come back after playing for a while." Yaya who ran away responded With a cry, Zhang Taiping worriedly told Ah Huang to follow, it would be much safer with Ah Huang's protection.

Zhang Taiping entered the house, took out the two light bulbs he bought, installed them in two red lanterns, and hung them on the door respectively. After the electricity was turned on, the yard was immediately shrouded in a red light, adding a festive atmosphere.

Yaya is quite obedient and sensible, and she came back after a while, followed by a few friends carrying red lanterns with candles, and a few people bumped into each other with lanterns as they walked, to see whose lantern touched the inside The candles will not go out.

A group of friends came to Zhang Taiping's house just to watch TV. They entered the room and blew out the candles inside the lanterns. They sat neatly in the center of the room with a bench and started watching TV together.

Zhang Taiping asked Yaya to distribute one of the twisted twists bought during the day to each of the children, let them sit in the front room and watch TV, and went to the backyard by himself.Passing through the middle courtyard, you can hear the sound of sheep bleating in the backyard.

As the saying goes: rabbit one, cat two, dog three, pig four, sheep five, cow ten, horse eleven, donkey one year.Sheep are pregnant for five months before giving birth.The error is only two or three days.Counting the time, the ewes gave birth in these two days. They were fine during the day, but in the evening, the ewes who had been in the pen began to call incessantly. Zhang Taiping’s relay knew that it was about to give birth. They are all surrounded in the sheepfold.

The old man was also squatting beside him. With him around, there was no need to hire a midwife. He has practiced medicine for so many years, and he has seen all kinds of situations. It is not easy to deliver goats all the time.

The ewes in Zhang Taiping's family belong to goats, they are still young, and the bottom part does not have the characteristic beard of goats. This is also her first one, and now it is lying on the ground and bleating in pain and fear.

The old man said to Cai Yazhi next to him, "Bring me a pot of hot water, and a pair of scissors and a bottle of shochu just in case."

Cai Yazhi didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly prepared all the necessary things. Fan Ming gave the old man a wink, and brought a bench for the old man to rest first.

For a moment, all the women in the sheepfold didn't even dare to vent their breath, staring desperately at the goats lying on the ground struggling, only painful bleating echoed in the sheepfold.

At first, Fan Ming couldn't stand the dull atmosphere, and asked the old man whose face remained unchanged: "Grandpa Zhang, how many lambs do you think this goat can have?"

The old man glanced at the swollen belly of the ewe and said: "In general goats, there are usually two, and some may have one, but judging from the body shape of this goat, there may be three."

"Three, so many, the ewes are amazing." Fan Ming said, sticking out her tongue.

The old man shook his head and said nothing. The larger the mammal, the weaker its ability to reproduce, but the smaller its body, the stronger its ability to reproduce.If she heard that a litter of dogs can have seven or eight babies at most, and a litter of pigs can have more than a dozen, wouldn't she be so surprised?

The ewe cried out in pain on the ground, but the others were okay. Cai Yazhi is a person who has given birth, and can personally experience the great pain of giving birth as a mother. Some people say that the birthday of a child is the day of suffering for the mother. None of them are fake.Now watching the ewes howling in pain while giving birth to babies, my heart is filled with unbearable pain.

While everyone was tense, the old man sat up straight suddenly, and saw the body of the ewe squirm, and finally a lamb's head came out.The women all held their breath, not daring to pant a little louder, as if a louder sound could scare the baby sheep into silence.

The screaming of the ewe was even more heart-wrenching. A few minutes later, the first lamb was finally born, but it didn't look like the pure white wool that people imagined, and it looked cute; it shrank into a small The ball, the body is so wet and ugly that it is dead.

The old man picked up the lamb from the ewe and put it next to the fire. As early as a few days ago, Cai Yazhi put a stove in the sheepfold to keep the ewe warm. a fire.Fortunately, it was not in a snowy day, otherwise it would be even more difficult.

The old man took a rag to wipe off the filth on the lamb, and put it next to the fire to bake. This little life just left the mother's body, and its metabolism is not enough to supply the energy needed to maintain its temperature. , can only be placed in a warm place to keep the body from getting cold.In fact, under natural conditions, the lamb will hide under the ewe's body and be covered by the ewe's body to keep warm. However, when the ewe is in pain, moving her body can easily crush the newborn baby, which is still very fragile. lamb.

After giving birth, the ewe seemed to have exhausted all the strength in her body, and she also temporarily rested and lay down on the ground panting heavily, accumulating the strength needed to give birth to a lamb.

Fan Ming looked at the little lamb beside the fire, wrinkled his nose and said, "It's so ugly." Although he said ugly in his mouth, he poked the little lamb with his hand.

The old man smiled and said: "It's like this when you're just born. It will be much better after you open it a little in a few days and wash it again."

After resting for a while, gathering enough strength, the ewe began to bleat again, and everyone knew that it was about to give birth to the second one.

This time, the experience with the first lamb was really much faster, and the pain seemed to be relieved a lot. It didn't take long to see the head of the second lamb come out first.This one was relatively smooth, and all came out in a short while. The old man picked it up and wiped it clean, and ran with the first one by the fire to bake.

After giving birth to the second one, the ewe rested for a while and began to bleat for the third time.

Fan Ming clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Grandpa Zhang guessed right, this ewe is going to give birth to three lambs."

Cai Xiaomei glanced at her, not understanding why this woman was so excited, didn't she just give birth to an extra lamb, and it had nothing to do with her, so was there any need to be so excited?Cai Xiaomei lives in the countryside, this kind of thing is common, of course there is nothing surprising, but Fan Ming is not, she is full of curiosity about everything.

It's just that with the passage of time, everyone's relaxed mood was seized again. The ewe has been howling for a long time, longer than the first one, but there is no shadow of the third lamb yet. .

The old man's face gradually became serious, and the third one still had a problem, and it was most likely to go wrong when there were many births.The women next to them also clenched their fists nervously, as if this could help the ewes on the ground to exert their strength.But this is the ewe's own business, and no one can help, so I can only worry by the side.

The ewe suffered a lot, and the third lamb finally showed its shadow.

Fan Ming shouted in surprise: "Come out, come out, now the ewes don't have to suffer so much." Cai Xiaomei and Cai Yazhi both breathed a sigh of relief, as if they thought so too.But the old man's expression did not relax. It should be because this time it was not a sheep's head but a sheep's hoof, which indicated that the position of the lamb inside was not standardized, which made it more difficult to come out.

Sure enough, the ewe did not relax, but seemed to be in more pain.The hearts of the girls who had just relaxed were raised again, and Cai Xiaomei couldn't help asking: "Grandpa, what's going on?"

The old man did not turn his head and said: "Normally, the head comes out first, but now the hooves come out first, which means that there is a problem with the position inside, and the difficulty of getting out has increased. If you hold it in for a long time, it may suffocate this little lamb." , even if it is finally born, it may be lifeless."

Fan Ming opened his mouth wide and said hastily, "Grandpa Zhang, please drag it out quickly."

The old man shook his head in confusion.

Zhang Taiping explained: "The body of this newborn life is very fragile, a little force may hurt it, and when it comes out, even if it is not dead, it will be disabled."

Fan Ming blushed and lowered her head and stopped talking.
