My village can't be like this

Chapter 704: Bar
Little Siqi was having fun playing with Ding Zijie and Chou Chou, but became a little unhappy when he saw his father suddenly call Chou Chou away. He immediately reached out to Chou Chou and waved.

Chouchou also gave face to his little master. Since he didn't get anything delicious from Zhang An, he ran back to Xiao Siqi.

Just like that, the two young kids were whispering to the little ferret, Chouchou, and no one knew what they were talking about.

But you can see that they are both very happy and talking excitedly.

In the past, Xiaohu and his group of big dogs were their favorite animals in the whole house, and they would catch them and play with them whenever they had time.

But it’s different now. After Chouchou came into being, Xiaohu and the others have been neglected a lot, and Xiao Siqi rides the dog less often on weekdays.

Several big dogs that had always been pampered at home suddenly lost the favor of their little masters, and it can be seen that they are still a little disappointed.

After all, it is the cute appearance of the little guy Chouchou that makes children like him more than big dogs like Xiaohu and others.

However, in Zhang An's opinion, this is not a bad thing. After all, as little Siqi grows up, no matter how tall the little tigers grow, there will be a day when they can't carry him.

So it would be better to let Xiao Siqi change this habit now, so that Xiaohu and the others will not suffer in the future.

"This little thing is really cute. No wonder they like it so much. But the vicious nature engraved in its bones can't be removed at all. Otherwise, we should get one back for our Ding Zijie to play with."

Ding Yi looked at Chou Chou who was having a lot of fun playing with the two little guys, and he began to like him a little.

If he didn't know that minks were very ferocious, he would really want to get one back.

"Forget it. You two are not often at home, and Ding Zijie is usually taken care of by his grandparents. If you bring a pet home, it won't be you who will be in trouble, but the elderly people at home."

Although Ding Yi and Li Li come back every few days, they only stay for half a day at most if there is nothing to do each time, and leave again after a night.

If we really get a pet for Ding Zijie, it would be like getting a grandson for the old people in their family.

"Uncle An, you two can chat while I go back to prepare something. Come to my place for a drink in the evening."

Zhou Yang had been here for half a day and had said everything he needed to say. After looking at the time, he prepared to go back.

"We have to go to your house for a drink, but isn't it too early to go today? We have to wait until the baby is born anyway."

Before Zhang An opened his mouth, Ding Yi had already started talking with a grin.

"It doesn't matter if it's early or late. We are all in the village. As long as we have time, we can get together for a meal anytime. Anyway, I have prepared the food. You can come over in the evening."

Actually, Zhou Yang's idea was just a spur of the moment. According to the relationship between him and Zhang An, he didn't need these things to ask Zhang An for help with something.

But now that I have met Ding Yi, he has expressed his willingness to lend me his house. This is a big favor, and I should express my gratitude no matter what.

So he thought about it and decided to set up a table and have fun together while he was still at home.

Otherwise, after the child is born, if he is well-behaved, it will be fine. But if the child is too noisy, it is unlikely that the whole house will be quiet for a short period of time.

Although his family had never had children before, he had seen too many such cases in the village.

But not all newborn babies are as quiet as Zhang An's little Siqi.

So it won’t be so convenient to express your gratitude later.

Not to mention whether the house is quiet or not, when he takes care of the children for a while, I'm afraid he won't have the time to deal with these things.

"Okay, let's not be polite to him and go there in the evening."

Zhang An didn't think there was anything wrong and agreed readily. Anyway, these people would have a fight every now and then. Either he would invite Zhou Yang and the others to his house, or he would go to Zhou Yang and the others' house.

"We talked about opening a branch store in the village before. After I went back and discussed it with everyone, I felt that it was still feasible. Someone also suggested that we don't need a very large store because the village is not far from the county town. We can share a warehouse. When we need something, we can transfer it from the county town, which can save a lot of trouble."

After Zhou Yang left, Ding Yi talked to Zhang An about opening a supermarket in the village in the future.

"Hey, it seems that your supermarket still has talented people. I was just thinking about when to mention this to you."

Zhang An was a little surprised when he heard this. This method is actually the logistics warehouse of later generations, but anyone who can think of this now must have some skills.

"That's settled then. When I return this time, I'll have someone come over to inspect the site and start designing a plan."

The two of them hit it off and had no objections, so the matter was decided.

"We can have someone come over to take a look first. As for the follow-up work, we have just planted rice in this field, so it is better to wait until after the autumn harvest."

At that time, the store must be built in Zhang An’s field, so we must wait until after the autumn harvest, otherwise the rice that was just planted a few days ago will be wasted.

"Don't worry, I know this clearly. Besides, this is not something that can be done overnight. It will definitely take some time to prepare."

In fact, Ding Yi didn't intend to take action so quickly, otherwise, he would have come to find Zhang An before Zhang An's family had even started tilling the fields and planting rice seedlings.

Afterwards, the two discussed some details and found that the two little guys who had been playing happily with Chouchou just now had gotten tired and fell asleep on the ground.

"Oh, how come you fell asleep so soon? And you're sleeping here."

When Ding Yiyi saw the two little guys sleeping on the ground, she couldn’t sit still anymore. She got up quickly and carried her son Ding Zijie home to sleep.

It was a good thing that this was not seen by other people in the family, otherwise, they would have been scolded just for letting the child fall asleep on the floor.

After Ding Yi carried Ding Zijie away, Zhang An also gently picked up his own son.

Only then did he see Chouchou, who was lying in his son's arms, and the little thing had actually fallen asleep.

It seems that sleepiness is contagious and it really doesn't discriminate between species.

Wang Fang came back from outside just as Zhang An had put his son to bed.

"Where's Qiqi? Did she run out again?"

Wang Fang didn't see her grandson in the yard and thought the little guy had run out to play.

"No, I just played here with Ding Zijie and fell asleep. I'm sleeping on the bed now."

Zhang An quickly began to explain that if Xiao Siqi ran out to play and he didn't follow him to watch over him, he would definitely be scolded.

In the evening, Ding Yi came over and called Zhang An, and the two went to Zhou Yang's house together.

When we arrived at Zhou Yang's house, they were all very busy. Zhou Yang was busy in the kitchen, while Zhou's wife and her husband were preparing things for the hospital.

In fact, there were only a few adults at home, and Yanhong and Zhou Song had gone to school. Following Zhang An and the others came Zhang Ping and Huang Ming.

The four of them are the four great warriors of Changqing Village. When they get together like this, no one will be missing unless something important happens.

"Okay Yoko, it's almost done. There's no one else here, just the rest of us, so we can just do whatever we want."

Seeing Zhou Yang still showing off his skills in the kitchen, Zhang An immediately spoke up.

"It will be ready soon. Actually, I didn't do much. Look, I only made these few dishes. The only thing left is the dog meat. You guys can serve the dishes first."

Zhou Yang shook the spoon, then pointed at several dishes served in pots on the stove and said.

In the past, Zhou Yang always liked to prepare a lot of dishes whenever everyone got together to drink. Although there were many variations, it was time-consuming and not convenient at all.

Later, everyone felt that there was no need to make such a hassle, as they were the same few people all the time, so they might as well do it in the most convenient way.

So now he only cooks a few dishes that are satisfying to eat. Even if the quantity is a bit large, there is no need to put them on a plate. Just put them directly in a bowl, and they are more satisfying when eaten together.

"Wow, such a good thing, where did you get it?"

When they heard the word "dog meat", Huang Ming and his friends' eyes lit up, as they are all "dog lovers".

"When I went to town this afternoon, I saw Lao Ge's stall selling fresh dog meat, so I bought half a dog meat."

In this mountain area, dog meat is a big favorite of many people, especially during the winter solstice. People in other places eat dumplings, but people in this mountain eat dog meat.

However, what they eat is not the local dogs raised at home, but the meat dogs. After all, the local dogs help guard the house, and even if they have no credit, they have worked hard.

Meat dogs are a separate breed. They are stupid and have little intelligence, but they can grow meat very well, not much different from pigs.

In particular, Lao Ge, whom Zhou Yang mentioned, is a man who opened a dog meat restaurant in Hongyan Town, and his family uses meat dogs.

They never say they are stealing other people's dogs, or helping dog thieves sell the stolen goods. This has been their reputation in Hongyan Town for many years.

"This is good, this is good. I'm afraid I'll have to drink more today."

Huang Ming's eyes widened when he smelled the delicious aroma coming from the pot.

"Okay, stop looking at it. Come in and take the dishes out. I'll be ready soon."

Zhou Yang was already used to him like this, and urged him without even turning his head.

Afterwards, the few people did not go into the house, but moved the table to the yard.

It's such a cool season now and the mosquitoes haven't started to work yet. It's so comfortable to work in this yard.

It was not until around ten o'clock in the evening that everyone had a great time. The several dishes and five kilograms of sorghum wine prepared by Zhou Yang were all gone.

"Here, Yoko, here is the key. If you don't know where it is, let Zhang An take you there. He knows where it is."

Before leaving, Ding Yi, who was drunk and had a red face and thick neck, walked to the door and then remembered that he was there to deliver the key.

"Okay, I understand. Do you really not need us to send you back?"

Zhou Yang took the key and thanked him, but looking at Ding Yi who was almost drunk, he doubted whether he could go back by himself.

"No need, it's not that far away. Don't think I'm drunk, but I'm actually sober."

Ding Yi shook his head, trying hard to prove that he was not drunk.

"Alright, alright, I'll follow him, you don't have to worry. Just come and call me when it's time to leave tomorrow morning."

Zhang An shook his head and said that he knew that Zhou Yang and the others were afraid that Ding Yi would fall into the river when crossing the bridge.

But in fact, Zhang An knew that Ding Yi was not bragging and he was not drunk. He would get angry easily when drinking, but his mind was still clear. If he was really drunk, he would pass out directly.

However, after leaving Zhou Yang's house, Zhang An still sent Ding Yi back to Dongli Yard before returning home.

Tonight, a total of five kilograms of sorghum wine were consumed. When calculated, each person drank less than one kilogram. In addition, they drank for several hours. At the beginning, he felt a little feverish, but now he doesn't feel anything at all.

When Zhang An returned home, Su Ying had not yet gone to bed and was busy grading test papers.

This is the last month for the third-year junior high school students to stay in school, and they will graduate soon.

So during the period before the high school entrance examination, teachers like Su Ying were giving students exercises almost every day.

Although this is a cramming method, it is the most effective way in the last bit of time.

Zhang An didn't bother his wife. He found some clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

When he was sleeping at night, he suddenly remembered that there was something he had not done, so he woke up immediately, entered the space, and filled a bottle of space spring water.

This was prepared for Zhou Yang's wife Chen Wenwen. After all, giving birth for a woman is like walking through the gates of hell, which is really dangerous.

This space spring water can replenish physical strength and can be of great help at critical moments.

Afterwards, Zhang An dropped two drops of spiritual spring crystal dew into it, which would make it safer.

The effect of Lingquan Crystal Dew is not very significant, it's a pity that we didn't have this thing at the beginning, otherwise Su Ying wouldn't have suffered so much when giving birth to little Siqi.

The next morning, Zhou Yang came over and called Zhang An to have breakfast, and they were about to set off after breakfast.

Zhang An didn't waste any time and drove the car directly to their doorstep. This time he didn't drive a pickup truck because that thing could smell of gasoline.

When they arrived at the hospital and were processing the paperwork for Chen Wenwen, the nurses in the obstetrics and gynecology department immediately recognized Zhang Anlai: "Hey, it's you. It looks like we have to congratulate your family again."

When Su Ying was hospitalized, Zhang An brought a lot of things to the hospital.

There was no shortage of fruits, food, or anything else, and a lot of it was distributed to the nurses in the obstetrics and gynecology department, so they were very impressed by Zhang An.

"No, no, no, this time it's not our family, but relatives who are coming here."

Zhang An quickly waved his hands and explained that these nurses were really enthusiastic.
