My village can't be like this

Chapter 14 Birthday

"Mom, make me two pairs too."

Wang Fang felt a little unbelievable when she heard Zhang An's words.

Zhang An used to wear cloth shoes made by himself, but he stopped wearing them after entering high school. He felt that all his classmates wore shoes sold on the street, and he would be looked down upon for wearing cloth shoes at school.

So after high school, I didn't make shoes for Zhang An anymore.

"Ah, don't you dislike shoes?"

"Wearing cloth shoes at home is comfortable, not smelly, and durable."

"Okay, Mom will make it for you, but the previous shoe patterns are no longer good. Your feet are much bigger than before. Let's draw a shoe pattern for you first." Picking up dried bamboo shoots, I drew a pair of shoe samples for Zhang An.

The next morning, when Wang Fang got up, she opened the door of her house and found three little puppies lying on the door.

When Zhang An got up, he looked a little confused.

This big dog is going to entrust his own child to himself. That big dog must belong to the village. He can understand what he says.

No wonder when I came back yesterday, I felt that there was always something looking at me behind me.

Zhang An couldn't laugh or cry, and told his parents about seeing the puppy yesterday, hiding the part in the space.

What else can I do, let's keep it, anyway, I don't have a dog at home.

Raising one is also raising, and raising three is also raising, and you can also look after the house.

Just because the big dog believes in him so much, he can't live up to its trust.

The three little ones woke up, as if they had discovered themselves, they immediately crawled towards Zhang An.

"Okay, now that I'm looking for you with my eyes wide open, I'm counting on you."

"If you rely on it, you can rely on it. It will be more lively if you raise it and look after it."

Hearing that his son said that they were all raised, Zhang Jianguo began to look for tools to make a kennel for the three little ones.

Now the puppy is still young, although there is no need to make a big kennel, but the puppy grows fast, and will grow into a big dog in a few months.

So the father and son searched for wood for a long time, and got a small wooden house less than two meters long.

Wang Fang dug out the worn-out clothes that could no longer be worn, and put a thick layer inside.

Since then, the three little ones have settled down in their own home.

When I saw the three little ones yesterday, none of them had full hair, but today they are almost full.

The three puppies are all covered in blue-black dog fur, and their ears are still standing up.

It's hard to imagine their mother being a dirt dog.

Maybe their father was a nice 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 second one was the smallest one, the cub that Zhang An saw yesterday was about to die, with blue-black hair all over his body, without any stray hairs.

Zhang An named them Dahu, Erhu and Xiaohu.

At first I thought it was a name.

After lunch, the little ones started whining, and Zhang An knew they were hungry.

Take out the rice soup that was boiled out when cooking just now, and give it to a few small ones.

Maybe they still remember the space spring water they drank yesterday, and today's rice soup is also boiled with space spring water, so it tastes delicious.

When Zhang An was feeding the dog, he remembered seeing those excavators digging on the road yesterday, so he talked to his father.

"Those are construction teams recruited from the county to build roads from the town to the county. It was settled a few years ago, but the work has been delayed. You go to school and you don't know it's normal."

Zhang Jianguo answered his son's question while drinking tea.

The tea is made from the dried Prunella vulgaris collected from the mountains, and the prunella vulgaris tea has the effect of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. Many old people in the countryside like to pick them and make tea.

Of course, there are tea leaves grown on the mountain, but the tea leaves picked by the villagers are generally sold to those who specialize in tea harvesting.

"Oh? The road has been built? Then this road shouldn't pass through our village, right?"

Zhang An has some memory. The road built by later generations did not pass by the entrance of Changqing Village, but passed by a stone pass in front of the village entrance.

Because if planning from the entrance of Changqing Village, a bridge needs to be built.

Because the big river at the entrance of the village is more than 20 meters wide, there is no hope.

"That's for sure. It's not far from Shiyakou, and it's not far from the village, half a mile away."

In the blink of an eye, it came to the end of August, August NO.30, the day Zhang An was born.

Birthdays are rarely celebrated in the countryside, so Zhang An didn't remember his own birthday much.

But that night, Wang Fang not only cooked a meat dish, but also made Zhang An a bowl of longevity noodles, with simmered rice and two fried eggs on it.

I don't have any chickens or ducks at home, so I must have bought the eggs.

Every year on Zhang An's birthday, Wang Fang will cook delicious food for Zhang An.

Even later generations would do it every year, until Zhang An went out, Wang Fang couldn't do it.

During the meal, Wang Fang asked if she should find someone to talk to her son about her marriage.

Zhang An will be 19 years old after eating this meal, which is not too young in the countryside.

So in the countryside, there are already a lot of people who are not married at this age and say relatives, but they have not gone to the town to get the certificate, because it is illegal, and they will only go to get the certificate when they reach the legal age.

Zhang An hurriedly said that he was only 19 years old, so he was not in a hurry, and would wait another two years.

It was only after talking about it that Wang Fang was dismissed, and Zhang An breathed a sigh of relief.

I haven't reached the legal age of the country, so I can't break the law.

The right path is to follow the country in everything.

After a few days of soaking in the small fish pond, many small fish have been brought in from the small ditch.

After seeing that there was not much water seepage, Zhang An also secretly released some fry.

I originally wanted to throw 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 out the cage and wanted to go to the river to cast nets. After talking to his mother who was making shoes, he went out and walked towards the river.

I found a place where the current was not too fast and cast the net, and Zhang An started to swim by the river.

The weather this year is good. It rains frequently, but it doesn't last long. While ensuring the amount of water, it doesn't cause flooding.

In Dawumeng Mountain, landslides and debris flows are not uncommon every time due to the flood season.

Because most of the places are earth hills, if the heavy rain lasts for a long time, the soil will be washed down.

So this year's situation is not bad. The rice in the rice field is growing very well. During this period of time, we can see that many rice has begun to head.

The corn in the field is also beginning to bud, and after a while, the farmers will start to get busy.

But everyone will be very happy if they can get busy in the harvest year.
