My village can't be like this

Chapter 146 Three Little Sheep
"Yingying, wake up."

Early in the morning, Su Ying, who was still sound asleep, was woken up by Wu Qiuping outside the door.

Su Ying thought that she had overslept today, and it was already lunch time, so her mother came over to wake her up.

When I got up, I looked at my watch, it was only seven o'clock.

"Mom, why did you wake me up so early? You don't go to work now."

Seeing that it was still early in the morning, Su Ying, who was sleeping beautifully, now looked helpless.

"Oh, I've been sleeping for so many days, it's time to get up. It's hard to have a few days off for the New Year. Your dad and I are going to go out and have fun."

Wu Qiuping had already prepared breakfast and brought it out of the kitchen.

I don't know, but after hearing what her mother said, Su Ying realized that the parents in front of her had already changed their clothes.

"You guys don't have to be so formal when you go out to play. Our small county is only this big."

Seeing her parents being so formal, Su Ying felt that something was wrong with her parents today.

"You girl, what's interesting in this county town? The garden in the middle of the street and those squares are all children's playthings."

There haven't been many fun activities in the county town in the past few years. At most, there is an occasional circus to put on a show.

But after so many years, Wu Qiuping and his wife have long been tired of watching.

Going to the square is also full of toys for children, and there are crowds of people there, so it's better to stay at home.

"Then you don't have to call me. I don't like going out to play, so just keep me at home."

Su Ying felt that something was wrong. In the past, her parents would not call her when she went out.

Because they all know that they don't want to go out and would rather stay at home.

But today, my old mother actually called me out of bed.

"That can't be done. Now that you are working, you usually live in school. Our family will spend less and less time together in the future, so we have to go as a family."

Hearing what the old mother said, although Su Ying felt a little strange, she still felt that what her old mother said made sense.

So after breakfast, she went back to her room and changed.

"No, no, you're dressed like an old girl, go change again."

Wu Qiuping was not satisfied at all when she saw the clothes her daughter had changed into.

Su Ying was a little helpless, she just went out to play, why did she have to dress so nicely?

After changing several clothes in a row, Wu Qiuping rejected them all.

In the end, I personally went up to pick out a suit for her that looked satisfactory.

After packing up, the family went to the bus station to prepare for the bus.

Although the two are a dual-career family, the family did not buy a car.

There are still very few families with cars in the county.

Either it is a family business, or it is the kind that has been passed down from the family.

A few days ago, after having a thorough conversation with her daughter, Wu Qiuping found out the address of Zhang An's house.

So today they planned to go to Changqing for a walk. The couple thought about it and decided to meet Zhang An, a young man.

But I can't let my daughter know, otherwise she would definitely not want to go.

Even when she arrived at the bus station and got on the bus in Hongyan Town, Wu Qiuping was still thinking about how to explain to her daughter to cover up the past.

Who knew that Su Ying never took the minibus that went to Hongyan Town at all. When she went there before, it was Chen Ze and the others who drove it.

So Su Ying didn't ask any more questions when she got in the car, so Wu Qiuping just pretended nothing happened.

. . .

In Changqing Village today, there are not as many people here as there were a few days ago.

Because the township basketball game had already started, most people went to watch it.

The New Year's basketball game in Hongyan Town has been going on for many years.

A long time ago, Changqing village also went to sign up.

It's just that in the past two years, most of the young people in the village have gone out to work.

After everyone came back, they all wanted to have a good rest at home.

There is no extra thought to participate in this basketball game.

The main reason is that there are not enough rewards, and many people are not tempted.

And in Heishitou Village below Hongyan Town, a bullfighting competition was held today.

Many people like to watch bullfights. Every year, their bullrings are crowded with people.

Those who came to Changqing a few days ago went to other places to watch the excitement today.

"Hey, it's weird. Our brood of chickens hatched, why do they look different?"

Wang Fang came over with a cage of chicks, and asked the father and son strangely.

Zhang An leaned over to take a look, and saw that this was the little golden chicken that he had just released.

Unexpectedly, just a few days after it was released, it was discovered by my mother.

"Mom, these are golden chicken seedlings. Some time ago, Huang Erye dug some golden eggs from the mountain for me. I saw the hens at home were brooding, so I put them in and hatched together."

Zhang An found out yesterday that an old hen in his family had just hatched a brood of chicks, so he got several little golden chickens out of the space.

"Let me just say, they are all eggs at home. How come the hatched chicks are different, but Xiaoan, is such an ugly chicken really a golden chicken in the mountains? Don't let Huang Erye admit his mistake and dig out a pheasant nest ah."

Most people in the mountains have seen the golden rooster more or less, and some people have caught it before.

Wang Fang naturally knew about the golden rooster, but looking at the chick, she didn't quite believe it was a golden rooster.

If it weren't for the fact that so many chickens had hatched in the space, it would be the first time Zhang An saw this chicken, and he wouldn't believe that it was a golden chicken cub in the mountains.

The main reason is that this chick is gray all over and looks a bit ugly, and it is two extremes with its father.

It doesn't seem to match the golden rooster in the mountains.

"Mom, Second Master Huang just picked up the eggs when he saw the golden rooster fly out of the nest. Whether it's a golden rooster or not, we'll raise it first."

Wang Fang felt that what her son said made sense. Even pheasants can be sold for money when they are raised.

But Zhang An didn't need to say, Wang Fang took care of the chickens and ducks at home, and had always been very attentive.

"Uncle An, the big black sheep seems to be sick, it's lying on the ground screaming in pain."

These "little breeders" come over on time every morning to feed the animals in the pen, and Chinese New Year is no exception.

Today they are still the same as before, coming to work and clocking in as soon as they wake up.

Seeing the big black sheep lying on the ground and screaming, they thought the big black sheep was going to die, so they rushed over to inform Zhang An.

Because they have never seen such a situation, the animals in the enclosure are usually leisurely.

Um?Big black sheep?
Is it about to give birth?

Dogs, three pigs, four sheep, five sheep, calculated the time, from September last year to now.

Although not full 150 days, but not much difference.

Moreover, Wang Mingqian said that if the ewes are well fed, healthy and well nourished, the lambs will be born early.

The big black goats of Zhang An's family are not only in good health, but also have been fed well, and must have good nutrition.

Therefore, it is normal for the lamb to be born early.

Hearing this, Zhang An's family put down their work and ran to the sheep pen to check on the condition of the big black sheep.

When he got to the sheepfold, Zhang An saw his big black sheep still howling in a low voice.

The family has experienced animal delivery several times before, so Zhang An's family did not panic.

"Tie Wa, take everyone out to play, the ewes are giving birth to lambs, come play with them tomorrow."

Seeing that the ewe was ready to give birth, Wang Fang sent the children away from the pen.

In the village, children are not allowed to see pigs, cattle, sheep and other animals giving birth.

"Understood, uncle, let's see Xiao Yang again tomorrow."

Zhang Tie was also very obedient. When he heard his aunt yelling, he took the children around him out to play.

At the beginning, the ewes can still stand.

But now he was lying on the straw, and he continued to make uncomfortable noises.

At this time Zhang An saw the lamb's head coming out.

Seeing this, Zhang Jianguo quickly went back to the house and found the brazier for the fire at home.

Although the weather has been sunny for the past two days, the temperature is still a bit low in places where there is no sun.

And Wang Mingqian told him that if the ewe is a lamb in the cold world.

Be sure to remember to burn a pot of fire in the sheepfold, because the newborn lambs need to keep warm.

Animals, like humans, are physically exhausted during childbirth.

"Mom, go home and find a piece of dry rotten clothes. When the lamb comes out, you have to dry it."

When Wang Fang heard this, she went home to find the rotten clothes.

At this moment, Zhang An took advantage of this gap to get a basin of spring water from the space to replenish the ewe's strength.

"Haven't come out yet? Xiao An, you put this brazier in."

Zhang Jianguo came in with a brazier that had already been burned.

He didn't enter the sheepfold, because he tried something just now, and the ewes wouldn't let him in.

But these animals and livestock in the family are closer to Zhang An, so he called Zhang An.

"It's not finished yet, it should be soon."

At this moment, most of the lamb's body has come out of the ewe's belly.

With a high-pitched bleat from the big black sheep, the lamb was born.

The big black sheep stretched out its head to lick the fetal fluid and amniotic fluid on its body.

Wang Fang looked at the one who was going to wipe the lamb with the rotten clothes, but was stopped by Zhang An.

"Mom, don't worry, the ewe still has energy now, it's better to let it lick dry."

Because there are bacteria on the human body, the newly born lambs are still very fragile.

So it is best to let the ewes lick themselves clean.

"This little lamb is not small."

Wang Fang looked at the lamb on the straw that had been licked clean by the ewe, and it had already started to cry "baa-baa-baa".

"It's not small, it probably weighs more than five or six catties." Zhang Jianguo also nodded.

Zhang An also felt that this little guy was a big man. In later generations, he had seen newborn lambs on the Internet, and they were all very small.

Now my little lamb is quite big, but its mother has suffered a lot.

"Is it over now? Xiao An."

After waiting for several minutes, Wang Fang didn't see any movement from the ewe, so she asked Zhang An.

"Probably not yet. Our ewes usually have big stomachs. Although this newborn lamb is quite big, there are probably some in the stomach."

"Dad, Mom, look, the ewe's belly is still moving, there must be another one."

Sure enough, Zhang An pointed, and Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo saw the belly of the ewe.

Move here for a while, move there for a while.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the ewe began to push hard, and the head of a lamb was exposed again.

Seeing this, Zhang An finally felt relieved. It proved that from just now to now, the two lambs came out head first.

This shows that the fetal position of the ewe is positive, which reduces a lot of risks.

If the lamb's head comes out first, it will be much smoother.

Zhang An was afraid that the sheep's feet would come out first. In that case, there was a high probability of dystocia.

After about ten minutes, the second child also came out, also a big man.

These two brothers are so strong, their mother is not easy.

Originally, Zhang An thought that the ewe was pregnant with only two lambs, because the two lambs were very big.

Although the second lamb was born, the ewe was still lying on the straw.

He also didn't see the ewe's belly moving, so he thought the ewe was just lying down to rest and recover.

So after observing for a long time, I started to deal with the sheepfold with my father.

Just when they were about to clean up the scene, the ewes started to cry again.

"No, Dad, there's another one in my stomach."

Because when Zhang An said this, he found that the sheep's feet had come out.

"It's broken. This ewe has lost its energy so far, and this one is only out of the feet first. I'm afraid it won't be easy to come out."

At this time, the cry of the ewe became smaller and smaller.

But Zhang An could also tell that the cry was not as energetic as before.

And it sounds like it's painful.

But although it was very difficult, the ewe never gave up.

It is still persisting, Zhang An can see its hooves have been kicking the wooden wall next to it.

But this situation has been going on for quite a long time, and the third lamb has only come out half its body.

And the worst thing happened, the third child was not as strong as the first two in terms of hooves.

The most terrible thing is that the membranes on its body have not yet broken.

"Dad, I have to pull it out. If it can't reproduce, the ewe may be gone too."

The amniotic fluid is not broken, and the lamb has been stuck in the process of being born.

The lamb could be a choking hazard if pulled out.

But Zhang An had no choice but to choose artificial midwifery.

This situation cannot be reproduced, and the ewes will also die.

Zhang An quickly ran outside to wash his hands, and directly pulled the half-born lamb out of the ewe's belly.

Fortunately, the third lamb is not big in size, if it is the same as the first two.

If Zhang An came to drag him, but he couldn't pull it out, the situation would be bad.

The moment the third lamb came out, the ewe instantly felt a lot more relaxed, lying on the ground panting.

It used its remaining strength to bite through the fetal membrane attached to the lamb.

The water broke and the lamb was able to breathe.

The ewe rested for a while, drank a few mouthfuls of spring water in the basin, and regained some strength.

He stretched out his head and licked the third child.

Although the amniotic fluid broke just now, but the third child was motionless, Zhang An thought it was gone.

But after the ewe licked for a long time, the lamb moved slightly.

"Dad, it's not dead, it's still alive."

Seeing this, Zhang An moved the brazier to this side.

Warm up around the third lamb.

After a few minutes, Zhang An's family felt relieved after the third child started to make a weak cry.

During the period just now, Zhang An's family didn't speak a word, and they didn't dare to show their anger.

Seeing that both the ewe and lamb survived now, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But with the fright just now, Zhang An didn't dare to be careless.

What if there is another one in the ewe's belly.

But the good news is that after the third child came back to life, the ewe slowly stood up.

It should be out of stock now.

"Xiao An, it should be over by now."

Wang Fang was on tenterhooks just now, but now she spoke.

"No, the ewe has stood up, and the belly has become smaller."

After listening to Zhang An's answer, Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang started to tidy up the sheepfold.

And the three lambs in the pen are all standing up now.

Although they are not standing very stably, taking a step is like falling to the ground, which may be because they are not used to using their legs yet.

But slowly, they got used to walking.
