Little Life on An American Ranch

Jian Heng saw that there were big and small dogs in a basket, obviously not from the same litter, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Why is your dog big and small?"

The old man said: "The big one belongs to the neighbor's house, and the four small ones belong to our family!"

"Then what about the female and male dogs of this big dog? Is it as tall as your dog?" Jian Heng asked.

The old man raised his head and glanced at Jian Heng: "The dogs in our village are all quite tall! These two puppies are the same as our family's male dog, and the female dog is slightly smaller."

"How many? How big is the male dog?" Jian Heng said.

"Thirty!" The old man stretched out three fingers, and then compared the size of the male dog with Jian Heng as a bitch.

"It's cheaper, I buy more!" Jian Heng stretched out his hand to tease the little yellow dog standing on the basket.

"If you can make a round, I'll give you a hundred for these six dogs! Do you want any?" The old man blocked Jian Heng directly.

Now the local dog is not easy to sell, and it is polite to say that it is not easy to sell. Let’s put it this way, no one wants to give it away. If it is two big, it will catch up with a person's ration.

The old man's dog is a little different, few native dogs are so big, that female dog is almost as big as Heihu, and the male dog looks taller than Heihu. But even so, dogs are not easy to sell, because now most people like to raise foreign dogs, and some people like them more expensively, and they like to be fooled by dog ​​dealers.

"You said that?" Jian Heng squatted down with a smile, and reached into the basket to scoop up other puppies.

The old man raised his head and glanced at Jian Heng: "I'm so old, I can't play adultery with a baby boy like you, but if you want me, I'll go and identify the door, if you go up, get home and raise a few If you grow fat and sell it as a meat dog, I'm sorry, I won't sell it if you give it 10,000!"

"Master, if you really want to come, ten thousand won't be enough for the round trip," Jian Heng said with a smile.

The old man glanced at Jian Heng: "You go to the moon, ten thousand is not enough for the travel expenses!"

The old man obviously didn't believe that 10,000 yuan would not reach Jian Heng's house. He thought that the young man in front of him was bragging to bluff himself, an old man.

Jian Heng smiled, stretched out his hand and took out his American passport to light it up: "I want to take them to the United States, where I have acquired thousands of acres of land! I want some dogs to guard the house,

If we want to say that we Chinese dogs are good at housekeeping, can those dogs of foreigners be called dogs? "

Hearing what Jian Heng said, the old man stared at Jian Heng for a few times, his old eyes that were a little muddy, unexpectedly released a shooting light.

Naturally, the old man didn't recognize the American passport in Jian Heng's hand, but the old man believed in the life experience he had accumulated over the decades, so he could tell whether the person in front of him was a dog meat dealer.

The two looked at each other for about four or five seconds. The old man turned his gaze away and stretched out his hand: "One hundred! I'll sell the dog!"

Jian Heng thinks this old man is interesting. In today's society, there are too few people who are as trustworthy as the old man. When ordinary people see Jian Heng, they really want it. They have to raise the price up, maybe even raise the price directly. , Who knows that this old man said that one hundred is one hundred, so if he is sure that Jian Heng wants it, he still insists.

Jian Heng doesn't care about the one hundred and eighty yuan man, he just admires the old man, and it's rare to know that what a man says is like poured water, every spit and every hole.

Seeing that his clothes were not too rich, he said, "One thirty, one hundred and eight in total!"

"One hundred is one hundred, and I don't want more!" said the old man.

So the two of them pushed here and there, back and forth a few times, and the old man refused to accept Jian Heng's extra 80 yuan.

An old woman next to her smiled when she saw the two of them, and said, "You guys are doing amazing business. You should give more for what you buy, and ask for less for what you sell."

"You don't understand, people can't stand without faith!" The old man actually said such words.

Jian Heng saw that they would not accept it, so he said: "That's it, you can keep the 80 yuan."

"I can't have it," the old man said again immediately.

Jian Heng raised his hand: "Listen to me, I didn't give you the money for nothing, I have one thing to ask you, help me find a black four-eyed native dog, all black, with four paws A little yellow hair, do you think it will work?"

"It's not common to have black eyes now! Few people want that kind of dog, and farmers rarely raise them now," the old man said, looking at Jian Heng in bewilderment.

"Help me, if you find it, give me this call. If you don't find it, the 80 is your labor fee, and you don't need to travel far, just two or three nearby villages will do."

The woman who interrupted just now couldn't help laughing: "Young man, you haven't been to the countryside for a long time, you don't have the old villages now, and now some of the original villages are merged together, now they are all There is no village in a small town."

"It's okay, it's okay, just ask for help!" Jian Heng was a little annoyed at the woman's quick talk, and didn't know what she had to do with the conversation between his family and the old man. idle!

The old man also rolled his eyes at the woman, then took the money and put it directly into the pocket of his jacket: "I will try my best to find it for you!"

Jian Heng said politely: "Thank you!".

The old man didn't say much, he just stood up and hugged the puppy out.

"Hey, master, you can give me this basket too," Jian Heng said hastily.

Unexpectedly, the old man said: "This basket is worth more than a dog!"

When Jian Heng heard this, he said dumbfoundedly: "How about this, why don't you take the dog to the car for the head office?" After speaking, he stretched out his finger to the bully who was parked by the side of the road.

The old man glanced at the car, then nodded and hummed.

Just like that, Jian Heng directly locked the June 4 puppy into the domineering car. The old man just put down the puppy, immediately took the cage, turned his head, and rode on the car. Almost disappeared at the corner of the road.

At this moment, the talkative woman said to Jian Heng, "You young man, you are so stupid!"

Jian Heng smiled and didn't like her, and took his sister to continue shopping in the market. Not to mention, there are quite a lot of dogs, but most of them are foreign dogs, such as little golden retrievers, Teddy, can't pull them. Rado, it seems that people who sell native dogs can’t get into the market stalls, there are only two of them in the corners. Jian Heng saw that the puppies were well fed, and they cost 20 yuan each, so he bought them from each of the two. I bought one.

After visiting the fairs here, Jian Heng drove to the next one, and at the second one, there were no more local dogs, only foreign dogs, or skewers, so he rushed to the next one, the last one The dog didn't like it at all, because the bitches in Tugoudu were too small, like pugs. In the end, they took a fancy to a live carp weighing two or three catties.

Fifteen yuan a catty, at a cost of around twenty yuan, Jian Heng bought the carp, and the fish monger gave him a bag filled with oxygen.

After browsing through a few episodes, Jian Heng almost bought a whole bunch of things in the back compartment. Anyway, there are all kinds of things to wear. When it was getting dark, the brother and sister returned to the county town, and Jian Heng took his younger sister to the restaurant again. Bought a table of vegetables and took them home.

When he got home, Jian Heng went into the yard and saw his old man turned on the lights in the yard and continued to wash the car, not only by himself, but also with his son-in-law Yang Bin.

"I don't even know what to say." Jian Heng was speechless: "If you wash the car paint like this, you will ruin it!"

"Xiaoheng, do you think this car should be waxed? People say that this new car should protect the paint." Jian Zhenhua now feels sorry for his car. He just wanted to wax his car the next day after buying it. .

At this time, Jian Heng discovered that his father was no longer holding the leather pipe in the morning, but a water gun for professional car washing. Not only the water gun, but also a pressure pump at his feet.

"If you want to hit you, hit it." After speaking, Jian Heng carried a box of puppies into the house.

Li Xiuying was sitting in the yard talking with Jian Anan at this time, and when she saw Jian Heng coming in, she joked, "Didn't you say you brought dinner back, why, are you going to eat these puppies?"

"It's in the car, you and sister go get it, I'll bring these little things in first." After Jian Heng finished speaking, he put the puppy down on the edge of the courtyard wall.

Jian Anan and Sun Xiuying went to pick up vegetables from the domineering cart on the side of the road, and put them on the table, while Yang Bin was carried by Jian Anan to help move the things out of the cart.

While waiting for the family to finish their meal, Sun Xiuying made rice with the leftover vegetable soup and fed the eight puppies. That's what the earth dog is good at. It can eat anything, and it's not easy to get sick.

Although the puppies have changed their environment, but not just one, but a lot of them gathered together, and their guts quickly became fat. In the end, Jian Heng had to use cardboard boxes to enclose a piece of land for them, and let them run in a small area. step.

After finishing the puppy, Jian Heng returned to his room, locked the door and stepped into the space, only to find that the plastic bag he threw in casually had been torn. It turned out that a normal carp had now turned silver all over. The scales on the whole body seem to be plated with chrome.

As soon as the carp entered the space, another pair of statues appeared naturally. The rabbit and the carp stood opposite each other, and the two transparent statues began to spit water uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Jian Heng went straight to the mat under the tree, opened the book and read it, as expected, the content in the book became clearer, almost 80% of the content was clear, Jian Heng finally understood Now, what's the name of the tree above my head? It's called: Fusang!

After sighing at the sacred tree of hibiscus in the space, Jian Heng became a little interested again, because even if he had seen the sacred tree of hibiscus, wouldn't he still be bored?

Thinking of this, Jian Heng felt a little depressed again.

After reading most of the book, I naturally know what the last two things are.

One is a red-crowned crane, while the other is a strange snake. Why is it so strange? Because the color of this snake is blue. Jian Heng has never heard of a snake that flashes blue.

It's not a big deal to steal a red-crowned crane or something, but a blue snake? Jian Heng has never heard of this thing.

Out of the space, he took out his mobile phone, and Jian Heng quickly searched. After such a search, Jian Heng was dumbfounded. It turned out that this kind of snake was produced by the mutation of the green tree python, and it was not poisonous. But such a blue snake, the market It's worth half a million dollars. If it's just a question of money, then that's fine. There's the worst thing about it: there's a price but no market, and money doesn't mean you can't buy it.

This is fucked! Jane Heng said. reading net
