Chapter 7 New Family Member

On the kang.

Jiang Pingan had nothing to do, sitting and talking nonsense with Zhang Fugui and his family.

Just as the saliva was flying, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a gust of cold wind rushed in, icy cold.

Everyone looked up, and saw Miao Hexiang got a puppy from nowhere and held it in his arms, and said:

"Ping An, I just picked up a dog at the east end of the village, do you want it? The dog is dying of starvation, so pitiful."

Before Jiang Ping'an could speak, Zhang Fugui smiled and said, "Miao Hexiang, you have a kind heart!"

"But people don't have anything to eat these days, how can they have the strength to raise a dog? Didn't you mean to cause trouble for Ping An?"

"It's okay, it's not bad to have a dog to watch the house." Jiang Ping'an smiled.

Get off the kang, go to the door and take the dog from Miao Hexiang.

This dog is not big, with long chopsticks, and its whole body is pitch black. It is chubby and cute, but it is covered in mud.

"Why so much mud?" Jiang Pingan looked at Miao Hexiang and asked in confusion.

The puppy was on his palm, its tail was wagging slightly, its eyes were squinting, and it stuck out its little tongue to lick his fingers, as if to please him.

Miao Hexiang pointed at the puppy, pursed her lips and replied, "When I saw it, it was barking in the ditch, shivering from the cold."

"I don't know who threw it there. My heart softened, so I picked it up, but I didn't know what to do?"

"After thinking about it, I still think you are the most reliable, so I sent it to you!"

Several people on the kang also came to watch.

Li Sibao reached out and grabbed the thick skin on the back of the dog's neck, lifted it up, and said with a smile:
"This dog is good, with clear eyes, docile personality, small and pointed ears, good hearing, it is the most suitable for housekeeping when it is raised up!"

Zheng Sanyou at the side took it and looked around, then nodded and said, "It's really a good dog, very intelligent."

Jiang Pingan took the dog back, stroked the dog's head, and said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter if this dog is good or bad, since Mrs. Miao sent it to me, it is destined for me."

"Besides, this dog has a life no matter what, so you can't just leave it alone?"

Miao Hexiang breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "That's good, I'll give you the dog. I still have things to do, so I'll see you later."

After speaking, he turned and left.

"Ping'an is really kind and kind!" Li Sibao praised, "Hurry up and take him to the door of the stove to roast, this dog is about to freeze to death!"

Zheng Sanyou answered with a smile: "Just now it's time to cook pig food, let's go to the kitchen together."

When everyone came back to their senses, they realized that at some point, heavy snow fell in the sky.

The heavy snow was flying, the cold wind was howling, rolling up heavy snow waves, and the sky and the earth were white.

The five of them came to the kitchen, and Jiang Pingan held the puppy and lit the fire at the door of the stove, and dried the puppy by the way.

Several other people worked together and went to the next room to get some sweet potato vines that were chopped and dried in the sun, and poured them into a large iron pot to cook.

"Ping An, I know you have a big appetite and it is difficult to feed this dog." Zheng Sanyou smiled.

"When it is boiled at noon, I will add more water and give this puppy a spoonful to eat."

Zhang Dafu continued, "I'll count it in as well. It's not worth anything to make a sticky soup with two spoonfuls of clear soup left and right."

Li Sibao and Mao Jinyin also agreed, saying that one bite each would save the puppy's life.

"You are all good people! But I appreciate your kindness." Jiang Pingan lifted the puppy and stood up gratefully.

"Since I have taken over to raise this dog, I won't starve it to death! How can I hurt you?"

Zhang Dafu waved his hand and said: "A few vague things, it's not good to say that you will be troubled? Don't refuse!"

"That is, in the entire Dongjiazhuang Commune, who doesn't know how much you eat safely? Haha..." Mao Jinyin laughed.

"Besides, this dog is still young and can't eat much. A few spoonfuls of the paste can make its stomach swell and round."

The four of you said one sentence, and I said one sentence. They didn't give Jiang Pingan a chance to refuse at all, but Jiang Pingan had no choice but to agree first.

It was almost eleven o'clock, and the snow outside was getting bigger and bigger.

After the puppy was dried, it nestled in Jiang Ping'an's arms and fell asleep, kicking its four calves from time to time and stretching.

After cooking several pots of pig food one after another, it was finally Jiang Pingan's turn to feed the four pigs.

Jiang Ping'an built a dog kennel with thatch not far from the entrance of the stove, and put the dog down carefully.

The puppy woke up startled and looked up at him.

Jiang Ping'an gently stroked its head, and soon it fell asleep again.

"This dog is easy to feed!" Zhang Fugui stretched out his head to take a look, and said with a smile.

"If the dog is obedient, it is no different from a family member."

Jiang Ping'an smiled, got up and packed two barrels of pig food in wooden barrels, picked them up in the pigsty and poured them into the pig trough.

The four little pigs howled from hunger, and now there was something to eat, and they all gobbled it up, scrambling for food.

Jiang Ping'an used a wooden stick to open a very strong pig whose whole body was occupying the pig trough, and then watched from the side.

Nothing to do, he looked at the changes in the space.

The original three chickens grew extra fat after eating the grass in the space, and they were no longer as skinny as yesterday.

At the same time, the two hens laid a total of 62 eggs.

Twenty-four of the eggs hatched into 24 chicks, four roosters and twenty hens.

Jiang Ping'an also understood now that every hen had reached the hatching period.

The space will automatically select the best twelve existing eggs for the hen to hatch.

The hatched chickens consist of ten hens and two roosters.

"It's enough to raise 120 chickens on an acre of land. If you have too many chickens, you won't be able to eat them all." Jiang Ping'an thought to himself.

In addition to the original three chickens, there are exactly one hundred hens and twenty roosters, enough to eat.

Immediately, a message came that the space would limit the unlimited expansion of the chicken flock according to his idea just now.

Jiang Ping'an's face brightened, and he said happily: "This is very convenient. In the future, whether it is planting or breeding, we can control it."

Sure enough, it is the most mysterious space, and it never disappoints.

Then I looked at wheat, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and various vegetables.

Counting from this morning, more than four hours have passed.

Adding the more than three hours yesterday, it is equivalent to three or four months in space.

Some are ripe for picking, others can be harvested by noon at the latest.

"Ten mu of land, one mu for raising chickens, one mu for raising pigs, one mu for planting fruit trees, and one mu for growing vegetables."

"For the remaining six acres, five acres are planted with wheat, half with corn, three with sweet potatoes, and two with potatoes."

Wheat is a refined grain, so it needs to be grown in more varieties. Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn are all miscellaneous grains with high yields, so there is no need to grow too many.

At night, catch a few pigs and raise them in the space. The number should also be controlled, and not too many pigs should be raised.

If you raise too many, you can't eat them all, and you can't sell them, so keeping ten in captivity is enough.

In this way, the inexhaustible grain and vegetables in the space are used to feed pigs, and the output can keep up.

After making up his mind, Space instantly picked the ripe crops according to his intention, and then sowed them.

The amount of grain and vegetables planted before was not large, so it is necessary to accumulate seeds and expand the planting area.

I believe that at the latest at night, the planting goal he thought of just now can be fully realized.

"The oldest rooster can be slaughtered for lunch!" Jiang Ping'an said happily.

"Take time in the afternoon to go to the commune and exchange eggs for some daily necessities."

Now at the pig farm, I have a lot of free time, so I don't have to wait until tomorrow to go to the commune.

In addition, the peaches planted in the morning are also alive, Jiang Pingan said in his heart:

"Eating peaches alone will make you tired, and you need to find more fruit trees to plant."

"Whether you eat it yourself or give it as a gift in the future, it will come in handy."
