Chapter 637: Such a big thing, and you let me decide?
Mulati was also very straightforward. Since Hearing Li Long said he wanted five puppies, he exhorted him to take good care of them, and then in the afternoon, he let Hearing Li Long and Halimu and the others take the puppies away.
The mother dog was of course unwilling, but Mulati pulled the dog chain. Although the mother dog growled low, she also watched Hearing Li Long, Halimu, and the others take the puppies away.
The puppies had already passed the full moon and could be raised.
This time, what was pulled back was not only the five puppies from Mulati's house, but also a roe deer slightly larger than the one taken back yesterday. This was done well.
"Fortunately, your jeep was placed at Yushanjiang's place, otherwise, if we two walked back here, these little guys would be hard to take." Halimu put the dog down and let out a long sigh.
The little guy was not honest, always wanting to crawl away, so it was hard to hold.
In the eyes of Halimu and them, roe deer, well, they would be eaten when they grew up.
But dogs are different, they are partners when they grow up, so they must be raised well, and they must be treated well now.
So the treatment given when holding them was different.
Hearing Li Long was also fortunate to have driven the jeep here, otherwise it would really be hard to handle.
The puppies were placed in the back seat, because he was afraid of falling, they were placed below, the small roe deer was still placed in the bag, put in the trunk, so it wouldn't easily dirty the car.
Yushanjiang wanted to keep two people to drink milk tea, Hearing Li Long drank a bowl here, and then drove the jeep and walked out.
He didn't stop at Halimu's place either, waved to Halimu, and drove out of the mountains.
Returning earlier than yesterday, looking at the time, Gu Xiaoxia was about to finish work, so he waited near the Education Bureau. When Gu Xiaoxia came out, Hearing Li Long honked the horn.
Gu Xiaoxia, who was waving goodbye to her colleagues, heard the familiar horn, turned her head to look over, and then walked to the passenger seat with a smile.
Carefully sitting into the car, Gu Xiaoxia heard the barking of the puppies in the back.
Mulati's house kept a black dog, the five dogs here were two black, two flowers, one white, Hearing Li Long planned to keep one black and one white, and send the rest away.
He hadn't noticed the male and female yet, if one black and one white were one male and one female, that would be great.
"Where did the puppies come from?" Gu Xiaoxia smiled immediately, the kind she liked very much, of course, not the kind in later generations that treated pets as their own children.
At this time, whether in the city or the countryside, raising a dog is raising a dog, no matter how close, it is still a dog, it is impossible to treat it as a person.
The concept is different.
"Mulati's house," Hearing Li Long replied, and explained while driving, "from the herdsman's house in the mountains, there is also a roe deer in the trunk."
"Then Sister Yang will have work to do." Gu Xiaoxia turned her head and looked at the puppies again.
The two puppies saw Gu Xiaoxia and tried hard to crawl forward, wanting to come over.
It has to be said that the creature of a dog is naturally close to people.
Gu Xiaoxia couldn't help but touch it, and said with a smile:
"Looks really cute."
"Keep two at home, send the rest away." Hearing Li Long said, "I'll feed them morning and evening, Sister Yang just manages the cooking."
The small roe deer is easy to handle, eat two days of good food, and the rest of the sugar dregs, dry grass, etc., can be eaten, and when it grows a bit, pull it to the old horse number.
As for the puppies, they eat steamed buns at first, and later leftovers can be eaten.
Hearing Li Long remembered very clearly that he was sixty in his previous life, and the dog at home was also easy to feed, vegetables in the vegetable garden, cucumbers come down to eat cucumbers, eggplants come down to eat eggplants, and when tomatoes come down, they eat tomatoes, old cucumbers and old eggplants are not eaten.
Very picky.
Eating watermelon is to eat the watermelon pulp and the white ones, and the green skin is left behind.
So the dogs at this time are very easy to feed.
"Hmm." Gu Xiaoxia nodded.
The jeep returned to the big courtyard, Han Fang quickly opened the big gate, and greeted Hearing Li Long to drive in.
When the jeep stopped steadily, Hearing Li Long let down the five puppies, Han Fang screamed in surprise, kept touching this one and that one, and was shouting for her mother to come over and look.
Children have the least resistance to furry things.
Hearing Li Long smiled, closed the big gate, and released the other small roe deer.
The roe deer brought back yesterday was already familiar with this place, and at this time it had run over, sniffing the puppies at Han Fang's side.
The small roe deer that Hearing Li Long just released ran far away as soon as it was released, but it was not familiar with the environment here, running and calling, and soon slowed down, although it was still away from the crowd, but it knew that it was circled.
The puppies and the small roe deer brought a new active atmosphere to the courtyard. Although three of the puppies were to be sent away soon, Sister Yang still quickly got a basin of paste for them to eat.
The two roe deer also came over to grab the paste, and for a while, it was very lively around the basin.
Sister Yang helplessly found another basin and divided the paste.
After these little guys finished eating, their faces were all covered in paste.
Hearing Li Long made a temporary nest for the puppies after eating. Old horse comrade left a lot of things when he left, he picked some old clothes and surrounded a nest in the corner of the wall, and then got a few broken wooden boards to build it, making do first.
After sending away the three puppies, a nest could be built properly here.
Hearing Li Long built the dog nest here, the small roe deer was still okay, although the glass room couldn't be entered, they found the dog nest by themselves and lay down beside it.
Relying on each other, they actually rested.
Hearing Li Long felt it was quite good.
The next day Hearing Li Long got up early, and before breakfast, he directly loaded the three dogs into the jeep, and drove to the Fourth Team in one go.
The eldest brother's house was also cooking, Li Juan and Li Qiang were in the courtyard, one washing and one reciting books.
Sister-in-law Liang Yuemei was cooking at the stove, and she was a bit puzzled when she saw Hearing Li Long coming over.
"Got a few puppies in the mountains yesterday," Hearing Li Long got off the jeep and explained his intention, "I kept two in my courtyard, Kazakh big dogs, should be very good at looking after the house. I brought one over, see if you want to raise it..."
"Raise, raise, Mom!" Li Qiang saw the fleshy puppy, and immediately became excited.
Hearing Li Long kept one black and one flower in the big courtyard, it's a pity that the white one was not a female dog, the two black ones were both male, and the two flower ones were both female.
Li Jianguo came out of the room, was stunned when he saw the puppy, heard Li Qiang's words, and said with a smile:
"Raise if you want, when people are not at home, the dog can look after the house."
"Then can we keep all three?" Li Qiang asked again.
"That won't work!" Liang Yuemei immediately shook her head, and said with a straight face, "Only one can be raised!"
"Then... this black one!" Li Qiang made a decision.
"Okay, those two, one at Old Luo Shu's place, one at Juan's uncle's place." Hearing Li Long said.
Li Qiang still wanted to hold the dog, Liang Yuemei shouted:
"Wash hands, prepare to eat, you still have to go to school today!"
Li Qiang had to reluctantly put down the puppy and go to wash his hands.
Li Juan also came over to look at the puppy, these few puppies saw Li Juan coming over, and immediately ran towards her heels, the small short legs ran not very steadily, very cute feeling.
"Eat, Juan, don't look, there will be time for you to look when you come back from school!"
Li Juan stood up and went to wash her hands.
Hearing Li Long chatted with his father and mother for a few words, and talked about the situation in the mountains.
"Have time to take you two to the mountains to soak in the hot spring." Hearing Li Long said half-jokingly.
"I won't soak!" Du Chunfang hurriedly shook her head, "Soak what, isn't that shameful?"
"Deep mountains and old ridges, what's shameful?" Li Qing Xia knew the place, "It's just that there is no time for a while, it's almost time to plant land."
Hearing Li Long ate breakfast here, and then put a dog at Old Luo Shu's place, and then took Li Qiang to school.
Li Juan rode her bicycle to middle school by herself, actually she also wanted to sit in Hearing Li Long's jeep, but the bicycle couldn't be put in, and she had to ride the bicycle back in the afternoon. Hearing Li Long promised to take them to the street when he had time, which made up for the child's loss a little.
After sending Li Qiang to the school gate, Li Qiang got off the car and was seen by his classmates, and then there was a burst of exclamation.
Hearing Li Long smiled and watched Li Qiang greet him and then be surrounded by classmates into the school gate, and then drove away from the children and drove to the Liang family.
The Liang family had just finished breakfast and was preparing to go to the ground. Hearing Li Long put down the puppy, Liang Wenyu came over to look, and asked:
"Where did the dog come from?"
"Got it in the mountains, Kazakh sheepdog (locals don't call it a dog), it grows big and is very powerful."
"Good dog." Liang Donglou looked at it on the side and said, "Looks quite pure, what about it, let our family raise it?"
"I got a nest back, I put one at my eldest brother's place, one at Old Horse Number, I put two in my big courtyard, look here... do you want it?"
"Want, just happened to have no dog to look after the house." Liang Donglou made a decision, "Put it down. Are you in a hurry to leave?"
"Hmm, go into the mountains immediately, to connect water pipes for herdsman friends in the mountains."
"Then you go do your work." Liang Donglou didn't keep Hearing Li Long either, everyone was very busy at this time, they were all their own people, no need to be polite.

When Hearing Li Long drove the jeep to the big courtyard, Gu Xiaoxia had already gone to work, so he greeted Sister Yang and left.
When leaving, he watched the two puppies playing in the courtyard, the two small roe deer eating vegetable leaves across the small fence Sister Yang tied in the vegetable garden, and there were two hedgehogs on the side, so he didn't care anymore.
It's like a small zoo again.
There were few people in the courtyard, and with more small animals, it really added a lot of popularity.
Sister Yang actually wanted to raise some chickens, but Hearing Li Long refused. If raised in a cage, that meat is not as good as buying it outside. If not raised in a cage, these chickens eat and poop everywhere, so don't think about the courtyard being clean.
Better buy it to eat. With hedgehogs, roe deer, and then get two dogs, okay, it's almost a zoo.
Gu Xiaoxia walked for twenty minutes and then stopped walking, Hearing Li Long supported her into the bedroom, and then washed her feet.
At this time, Gu Xiaoxia's feet were already a bit swollen, soaking feet could be a bit better. After soaking feet, it was massage.
These things had been done for a while, Gu Xiaoxia didn't let him at first, Hearing Li Long insisted, she had no choice, happily and shyly enjoying these.
"Which man does these things..." Gu Xiaoxia still said.
"Why care about others?" Hearing Li Long said while gently kneading the slightly swollen lower legs, "Do you want to take leave and not go to work first?"
"How can that work?" Gu Xiaoxia refused directly, "I'm not that delicate!"
"This is not delicate, you are pregnant with two, not one." Hearing Li Long persuaded, "Different."
"That's also delicate." Gu Xiaoxia had her own persistence.
Okay, can't persuade her.
So Hearing Li Long decided to come back no matter how late he was working outside every day.
Actually, the herdsmen could do the work of digging water pipes, Hearing Li Long was just worried that they wouldn't handle it well, and the water pipes would be blocked, and it would be a big activity to re-dig.
These young and strong herdsmen themselves were the main force of grazing, concentrating so many days to dig water pipes, although they were willing, they couldn't affect the grazing of cattle and sheep.
After all, in their tradition, grazing is the most important work. In Hearing Li Long's impression, Uyghurs had people coming out to do business very early, but Kazakhs didn't, traditions were different.
After sending Gu Xiaoxia to work with the jeep the next day, Li
This time, the renovation of the water pipes improved the lives of the herdsmen, and Hearing Li Long also gained a great deal.
After returning, he sorted his gains one by one. He put the jade pieces away, as he didn't plan on selling them anytime soon. Maxian would develop a China Jasper Garden in over twenty years, and for a period of time, the jade from Maxian would be in high demand.
He felt that if he kept these jade pieces until then, they should be worth some money.
As for the Beishan goat heads, he left them aside for now, and he planned to take the deer antlers to the purchasing station when he had time to see what price Chen Hongjun would offer.
As for the two raw gemstones, he left them aside for now; he didn't know if they were worth anything.
It wasn't easy to appraise them in this place.
The main focus was on the two roe deer and the two puppies; they had already grown accustomed to the current environment and were running around the courtyard every day, very happily.
After handling matters here, Hearing Li Long returned to the Fourth Team. To his surprise, the watermelon seeds had already been planted, and other crops were either being sown or had already been finished.
His father, mother, older brother, and sister-in-law were all busy, but they didn't keep him at home, telling him to hurry back to his own courtyard. His wife was pregnant there, and since he had returned from the mountains, he should just stay home and rest.
Hearing Li Long returned to the large courtyard, and with nothing to do, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Finished with the business in the mountains?" Li Xiangqian asked him in the office. "Are the water pipes all set?"
"All set. There are still a few dozen meters of pipe left, but I didn't haul them back; I left them over there."
"Why haul them back? I've already filed for reimbursement here." Li Xiangqian waved his hand. "Have you read the newspaper?"
"Read what?" Hearing Li Long was confused. "Is there any big news?"
"No, it's the news written by Clerk Ma. That piece about our Wei Zhuren, and of course, both of us—we're in the paper!" Li Xiangqian rummaged through his desk, then pulled out a newspaper and handed it to Hearing Li Long:
"Take a look. Clerk Ma is really biased; two photos, one of Wei Zhuren and one of you. I only got half a face..."
Hearing Li Long smiled and took the newspaper to look through it.
They were on the second page, in the section for ethnic unity.
The article was quite long, over a thousand words, accompanied by two photos. The first showed Wei Zhuren and Li Xiangqian working, with Halimu also among them; Li Xiangqian only had half a face visible, so unless you knew him well, you really couldn't tell it was him.
The second photo was of himself bending over to dig out a water pit at the source. Although it was a side profile, you could clearly see it was him; it counted as a small close-up.
Hearing Li Long believed that Ma Xiao Yan must have submitted more than one photo, but the newspaper office had just chosen these two.
Not bad, he had shown his face once again.
"Section Chief, this is good enough. This is the autonomous region's newspaper; you ask around the cooperative to see who else can show their face?" Hearing Li Long joked. "I'm different, after all, I'm a model worker, they have to give me some face."
"That's true. Old Hou is jealous of me, saying he provided so much ammunition, why didn't they put him in." Li Xiangqian said with a smile. "By the way, the matter of weaving carrying poles is about to start, do you have any thoughts?"
"What thoughts could I have? I'll do whatever the leadership says." Hearing Li Long said very casually.
"Director Qian is very concerned about this matter." Li Xiang lowered his voice and said, "He said that in previous years, the task for carrying poles from the main cooperative was split equally among the counties here. He said if you want to do more, then they'll give our side a larger share..."
Hearing Li Long's heart was pounding as he listened. Could he really make the call on such a big matter himself?
Last year, with a thousand carrying poles, he earned several thousand yuan, with the bulk of the profit coming from the fritillaria.
If they could weave more carrying poles this year, they would naturally earn more.
He had bought several tractors, and his assets had dropped by nearly half; if he could recoup some of that, it would certainly be good.
He then joked:
"How much can be allocated? Three thousand? Five thousand? That's impossible, right?"
"Five thousand is impossible, but three thousand isn't out of the question..." Li Xiangqian thought about it and said, "If I really allocate three thousand to you, can you get people to finish them? Can you guarantee the same quality as last year?"
"If you have three thousand, I can definitely get it done. Last year, I found ten people for one thousand; for three thousand, I'll just find thirty people at most." Hearing Li Long said with a smile, "Section Chief, you can rest assured about this."
"Then I'll go back to Director Qian with that—by the way, I still need to mention this to Wei Zhuren." Li Xiangqian thought about it and said, "I'm not worried about you, and Wei Zhuren... should be at ease too, but just keep it in mind yourself."
Hearing Li Long went to greet Wei Zhuren, but he didn't mention this matter.
When he came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Hearing Li Long was still a bit dazed. Did he really just get three thousand?
Impossible, right?
Although Li Xiangqian said he still had to talk to Director Qian, he felt that Li Xiangqian's tone seemed as if it were already decided.
Such a big matter, decided just because he made a joke? (End of chapter)
