My 1995 Small Farm.

Chapter 17 Goat Milk
"Heiwa, Xiaojin, come out quickly!"

"Dinner's ready..."

Chen Ling walked into the courtyard and called out.

The noisy kids behind us immediately fell silent, looking at each other.

Liu Nier asked, "Uncle Fugui, the two puppies are only this big. If you call them, will they know?"

The question had barely left his mouth when a clear, childlike "woof woof woof" came from inside the house.

Then, two little heads, one black and one yellow, peeked out from under the curtain at the doorway.

Heiwa and Xiaojin, the two little guys, had already seen Chen Ling and were calling out even more enthusiastically.

It wagged its little tail and laboriously climbed over the threshold, then wobbled towards Chen Ling.

Chen Ling smiled, walked over, and hugged the two little ones tightly.

The two little ones immediately started whining and whining, snuggling and nuzzling in Chen Ling's arms as if they were looking for food.

Upon seeing this, Liu Nier and her friends were instantly stunned, their mouths agape, their faces filled with astonishment.

"Wow, no wonder Aunt Susu told me that the two puppies are close to Uncle Fugui!"

"It turns out the puppy mistook Uncle Fugui for their parents."

"Look, they're looking for milk in Uncle Fugui's arms."

"Hehe, that's true. I heard my mother say that as soon as puppies, kittens, chicks, and ducklings open their eyes, they will treat whoever they see as their father or mother."

"I didn't really believe it before, but now I do."

"With Uncle Fugui around, even the little dog isn't afraid of us anymore."

Chen Ling's face immediately fell. These brats, why do they say such unpleasant things!
Wang Susu, who came in later, also heard this and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing Chen Ling's gloomy face, the young wife's eyes immediately lit up with laughter.

"Susu, come quickly and feed Heiwa and Xiaojin."

At this moment, Chen Ling called out to her.

"what?"

"Breastfeeding?"

Wang Susu's smile froze, and she was stunned as she held a wine jar in her arms.

There haven't been any livestock giving birth in the village lately.

Where are we going to find milk?

Don't act on a whim again and make things difficult for her.

"If we don't feed them milk, what else can we feed them? These two little guys have just learned to run and their stomachs are very delicate. If we feed them whatever we eat, it will cause trouble sooner or later."

"Look, that jar you're holding is goat milk that I bought for them in the county town."

"Our two puppies are strong and healthy. If we feed them for another 20 to 30 days, they will be weaned."

As Chen Ling spoke, he carried the two little ones over, squatted down, and looked up at her.

Seeing that she seemed a little dazed, I felt quite strange and said again, "Don't just stand there, Susu, open the jar you're holding and pour a small bowl of water for them."

"Just use those two small bowls behind you, next to the tree pit. Use the one you used to feed them dumpling soup yesterday, not the one you used to feed them water."

Wang Susu then realized she had misunderstood, and her pretty face immediately turned bright red.

Holding the jar, he whispered, "Is that milk in the jar? I thought it was wine you made."

Then I opened the jar, took a gentle sniff, and sure enough, it was milk.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but this goat milk doesn't smell fishy at all; instead, it has a unique fragrance.

Chen Ling then realized what was going on, "Haha, it's a wine jar, you can mistake it for wine, it's my fault for not explaining clearly."

He found this jar of goat milk when he went to sell peanuts at an oil mill and discovered that the family's goat had given birth to a lamb.

Then I remembered that I had two puppies at home that were only a few days old. Although they were being nourished by the water in the cave, they were still nursing.

It's not good to feed puppies that haven't been fully weaned human food. So I spent money to buy more than a pound of goat milk.

Then they took two wine jars from the oil mill owner's house, added some stream water from Dongtian, and divided them into two jars of goat milk.

This is just one of the jars.

"Aunt Susu, here's a small bowl for you."

At this moment, a little girl in a red cotton-padded jacket handed a small bowl to Wang Susu.

Then they watched her expectantly, waiting for her to nurse the two puppies.

The little devils behind her were also looking at her expectantly, their hearts filled with anticipation.

"Oh, Xizi is such a good girl, just put the bowl at your aunt's feet."

Wang Susu held the jar and praised the little girl.

The little girl blushed with pride after being praised, and unconsciously revealed a big smile as she gently placed the bowl on the ground.

"Susu, pour out the milk. You feed them, and feed them more often each day..."

“Otherwise, the two little ones will always stick to me. You make them a nest and clean up their poop. You treat them so well, they should get closer to you too.”

Chen Ling said with a smile, and then put the two little guys on the ground.

Wang Susu nodded and smiled.

She agreed with Chen Ling's statement.

A dog's memories during its puppyhood have a significant impact on it.

Your actions reveal who is feeding them and who is caring for them...

Repeat this a few times, and you'll know who their owner is.

Her family had a dog when she was little, and it accompanied her as she grew up. When she went to junior high school, the dog would pick her up and drop her off at school every day.

You know, she used to have to walk ten miles of mountain road to go to school in town. If it weren't for that big yellow dog accompanying her, sometimes when there were fewer pedestrians on the road, she wouldn't dare to go home after school.

To her, that big yellow dog had become a very important member of her family.

Unfortunately, as she grew up, the big yellow dog died of old age, and she was heartbroken for a long time.

"Heiwa, Xiaojin, come and eat!"

Wang Susu poured milk into a small bowl and pushed it in front of the two puppies.

Heiwa and Xiaojin were squatting at Chen Ling's feet, playing and biting his trouser leg.

Suddenly, I smelled a familiar yet unfamiliar fragrance, and then I saw Wang Susu pushing the milk bowl over.

They wagged their little tails and ran over. The two little guys first sniffed it, then stuck out their little tongues and tried to lick it, finding it incredibly delicious.

Without saying a word, he buried his head and gulped down the wine, emptying the small bowl in no time.

Liu Nier and her gang of little devils didn't make a fuss. They stood by, craning their necks, holding their breath, and watching Heiwa and Xiaojin drink milk without blinking.

It was as if they were afraid of disturbing the two little ones.

Heiwa and Xiaojin drank all the goat milk in the small bowl and licked the bowl clean.

Only then did he turn his face, still savoring the moment, and let out a series of exclamations.

Then Liu Nier made another request to Chen Ling: "Uncle Fugui, pour another bowl. Look, even the puppy isn't full."

What do you mean the puppy isn't full? It's clearly you who haven't had enough to look at.

Chen Ling glared at him. "It's getting dark. Why aren't you home yet? If Da finds you're not home when I've finished cooking, he'll give you a beating."

To everyone's surprise, the boy sniffed and chuckled, "Hehe, my dad went up the mountain and won't be here for the next couple of days!"

"Up the mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling was quite puzzled, "What did Brother Xian go up the mountain for?"

"Our leader has gone up the mountain to hunt!"
