Chapter 45 The Shepherd Dog
Adjusting his mentality, Yunxi squatted down, learned Lai Di's movements, followed the vine of amaranth to find the root, pulled it down with a little force, and then shook off the soil and threw it into the frame.
This body also carries the memory of the original body's work, so she mastered the skills in a short while and accelerated the speed little by little.
Before the sun set, the two sisters filled two baskets of baskets and washed them with the river water. They tried to shake off the water, but the basket was still so heavy that they returned. The two sisters walked around and stopped and returned with sweating on their foreheads.
The life of this swineherd is not easy.
Before I arrived at the temple gate, I heard a familiar barking of dogs, accompanied by the howling of pigs.
Yun Xi was shocked, pulled the shoulder rope with both hands and trot into the temple gate. When he saw the little black dog pounced on one of the pigpens, bared his teeth and sharp claws. He was so shocked that the pig that hit the pen inside took a step back and stared at the black dog outside vigilantly.
The pigpen was rebuilt in the wing room, and only a wooden fence was placed inside the door to facilitate the dumping of pig food. The fence was sparse and dense, and the pig's trotters could not be reached out, but the sharp claws of the little black dog could be reached in and scratched, so the pigs in the pen were very afraid of the little black dog.
The black dog waved his claws and roared in the pen. Five or six pigs in the pen responded to two howls. I don’t know how they praised the race communication. However, the final result was that the pigs in the pen rested peacefully on the dirty straw and stopped making any more noise.
Yunxi was surprised and happy: "I have heard of a shepherd dog, but this is the first time I have seen a pig dog. Xiao Hei, you are really capable."
The capable little black dog raised his chin and glanced at her proudly, stepped apart and ran towards Mingtang. Qin Jianguo stood in Mingtang. He had obviously come for a while.
While removing the basket, Yunxi asked him with a smile: "Why are you here?"
"I brought some firewood over." Qin Jianguo replied, walking to her side and took the basket from her hand, which made her sweaty. However, he lifted it with one hand, and then lifted it up Lu Di's basket too. Yunxi couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.
After entering the kitchen, Yunxi found that there was not only firewood beside the stove, but also the water tank was filled. The tank was about one meter high, and it could not be filled with just one or two loads of water.
Yun Xi frowned. When Qin Jianguo was squatting by the stove and trying to make a fire, she unexpectedly pulled up his left trouser leg. The cloth belt tied with the wound had been dyed yellow-green by the medicine. She reached out to unbutton the cloth belt, but was pressed by a big hand. The man looked up and said to her, "I'm fine."
Yunxi's eyes fell on the big hand holding her hand. Qin Jianguo suddenly reacted and retracted his hand like an electric shock. Yunxi took the opportunity to untie the cloth belt, the medicine residue fell, and the wound was still red and swollen, but it was lighter than in the morning. She breathed a little relieved and turned her head to rush to Lai Di, "Come on the stool for Brother Qin."
There was only an old stool in the kitchen. Lai Di moved it over in response. Yun Xi said without saying a word to hold Qin Jianguo on the stool and said to him with a serious expression: "If you can't use you next, you can sit here with peace of mind." After a pause, he said, "There are no other herbs for a while, and this purzhi amaranth happens to reduce swelling."
After saying that, he went to the basket to pick out a few thick leaves of purseriae, washed it several times, then crushed it to Qin Jianguo, cleaned the cloth tape, dried it by the stove, and finally tied it to him.
There was a pot on the stove, and the rice bran had been cooked. The fire shone on Yunxi's face, giving her a layer of warm color. Qin Jianguo's eyes fell on her face without realizing it, but when she looked up, she suddenly moved away.
Yunxi looked up and saw the man twisting his neck and looking out the window, and asked him in confusion: "What are you looking at?"
Qin Jianguo's expression froze for a moment, and he quickly stood up and said, "It's nothing, I'm going back."
The little black dog who had been quiet for a long time immediately ran to his feet. Yunxi couldn't help laughing and told the little black dog: "Xiao Hei, please help me watch your master and don't let him do heavy work. I'll go back to cook when I finish my work."
I don’t know if the little black dog understood it, so he barked at her twice and followed its owner out of the kitchen.
Shortly after the man and dog left, Wang Hongtian, the production team leader, rushed over, looked at the kitchen and frowned and asked, "Why is there so little firewood?"
Yunxi was chopping pig grass now, and he stood up and replied, "When I came, there was no firewood or water. The firewood was moved by Brother Qin from his house, and he also picked the water."
Wang Hongtian's frown suddenly unfolded: "I just met Jianguo at the entrance of the temple. I asked him not to tell me yet. It turned out that he was bringing firewood and water for you."
Yunxi's face was a little hot when she was teased, but before she could respond, Wang Hongtian had already walked to the corner of the wall to pull open the burlap bag containing rice bran, and looked at it and said, "There are quite a lot of rice bran, so I don't remember her stealing it, but I'll ask her to send the firewood that was missing later."
Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and Wang Hongtian turned around and explained to her: "The two people who raised pigs on the team before were your Zhao family and your Chen family. But one of them was tired and unwilling to do it, and the other was not disgusted. They took two people to live and one person to make a living, in order to occupy the work points of the two people, but in just a few days, the team cadres discussed and removed her and replaced the new one. Uncle San sent the work to you, considering the situation of your sisters."
After hearing this, Yun Xi immediately understood why the woman had treated her sisters with her eyes, her nose was not her nose, but she turned out to be hating them for stealing her job.
This is really not a big deal in the village, but there are many things to do.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Yunxi promised Wang Hongtian: "Don't worry, Uncle San, Lai Di and I will take care of the pigs in the pigpen. If we are not competent, our sisters will immediately give it to the virtuous and will never harm the interests of the team."
Wang Hongtian nodded in praise and praise: "What you want is your sense of responsibility. When encountering difficulties, go to your third aunt. She is an expert in pig farming. The pigs raised at home are about 200 kilograms every year."
In this era, there is no feed, only rice bran and pig grass are used to feed pigs. It is very good to raise 200 kilograms a year. Raising 150 kilograms of pigs on this team is considered to complete the task, so Wang Hongtian praised his wife like this.
Yunxi also admired him very much and immediately climbed along the pole: "It's late tonight, I'll go to my third uncle's house to ask my third aunt for advice tomorrow."
"Okay, when I go back, I tell your third aunt that you will come here at noon tomorrow and have lunch at my house."
Yunxi declined, "I'll go after lunch tomorrow."
"You kid are so polite." Wang Hongtian shook his head.
Yunxi smiled, but his attitude was firm. Wang Hongtian knew that he could not persuade him, so he talked about something else and looked at the pigs in the pigpen before leaving.
