My 1995 Small Farm.

Chapter 278 Heiwa in Heat
Early in the morning, after having breakfast, Chen Ling began sharpening his hunting knife in the backyard of the farm. For the past six months, due to his wife giving birth, the tools in the hunting room had been largely untouched, and he hadn't taken out his bow and arrows for target practice.

However, with more and more wild animals roaming the mountains now, just in case, it's time to take out the items from the hunting tool room and tidy them up.

Sharpening knives, cleaning hunting rifles...

After finishing, he retrieved the traps he had set in the mountains, smeared them with cow dung, and cleaned them up again.

Although using feces to remove odors from clamps is dirty, it is more effective than smoking or roasting, and it is also good for the clamps.

Otherwise, if you keep heating the animal traps with fire, they won't last long and the force will be insufficient.

He was busy in the backyard of the farm.

Wang Susu held her son and watched from the side. At her feet, five weasels of various sizes stood upright in a row, their big black eyes staring curiously at Chen Ling.

They seemed to be wondering what he was trying to do.

Why are you messing around with cow dung there?

They were puzzled, and the little guy in Wang Susu's arms seemed equally puzzled.

He watched intently as his father stirred and turned the cow dung on the ground.

He didn't care that his saliva was flowing freely.

Wang Susu wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and he looked at Wang Susu, then at Chen Ling, and kept babbling with his little mouth open.

It was as if he was asking his mother what his father was doing.

"What's wrong, Rui Rui? Do you want to see your dad again? Your dad's messing around with cow dung, it's smelly. Let's not let him hold you, okay?" Wang Susu said, wiping the little guy's mouth.

"Haha, you little rascal, you must want to go out and play again. I'll take you out to play when I'm done with my work."

Chen Ling smiled upon hearing this and said to the weasels, "Little Yellow, Little Fatty, come and perform some acrobatics for us to pass the time."

Wang Susu also stretched out her foot and laughed, "Come on, let's do acrobatics."

The moment she stretched out her foot, the weasels reacted. Two big ones, with three small ones, lined up and leaped over Wang Susu's instep like leapfrogs, jumping very high.

The scene immediately attracted the little guy's attention, and he stared at it intently.

The weasels got impatient after only jumping a few times.

The two larger ones are alright, they're more stable, but the three smaller ones are really impatient. Right now, they're already jumping around the wall chasing after the birds behind the farm.

However, the more they made a fuss, the happier Rui Rui became.

Her eyes followed the movement, and she mumbled something as if she wanted to speak, never staying still for a moment.

But soon, the weasel chased after the bird and disappeared. The little guy immediately froze, then frowned and looked at Wang Susu, making "uh-huh" noises.

"The weasel ran away, didn't it? If it ran away, let's play something else. How about Mom takes you to feed the wild boars? Your dad caught a lot of wild boar piglets. They're so small, they're so fun to play with."

Wang Susu spoke in a consultative tone, then picked him up and walked out.

They hadn't gone far when the weasels, like a bunch of big rats, came running back with their long tails wagging.

Upon seeing this, the little guy immediately refused to let Wang Susu leave, frowning and grumbling.

Wang Susu had no choice but to carry him back to see the weasel.

Seeing this, Chen Ling scolded the weasels, "You lot, stop running around and play here for a while..."

"Susu, go and get them two eggs."

These guys often disappear during the day, catching insects, birds, and mice in the fields and reeds, and only come back at night.

Little Yellow and Little Fatty rarely show up anymore. They used to live in the little nest that Chen Ling built for them at the farm, but they don't live there anymore.

It seems she's about to give birth again outside.

"it is good."

Wang Susu agreed and took her son to the kitchen to get two hard-boiled eggs.

Back on this side, after tapping the stone with a "crackling" sound, the little creatures seemed to hear the most beautiful sound in the world. They swarmed around, jumping and twitching their noses eagerly, their faces full of craving.

When Wang Susu broke the eggs into pieces and shared them with the animals, they excitedly huddled together and wolfed them down, like a bunch of little piglets scrambling for food.

"Hmph, you stinky Rui Rui, are you happy now?"

Seeing her son staring at the weasel and feeling him struggling in her arms, Wang Susu gently pinched his chubby little face and said in an annoyed tone.

"You know what, this kid is much better behaved than last month."

Chen Ling laughed heartily, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

The young couple were playing with their child when Xiao Jin's angry shouts came from outside the farm.

This angry bark is the slightly shrill sound of two dogs fighting, baring their teeth and biting each other in a fit of rage.

This is common in ordinary dogs.

However, Xiao Jin rarely makes this sound.

There's really nothing that dares to mess with it.

Wang Susu panicked as soon as she heard this: "A-Ling, you should go out and check quickly, lest some wild creature comes."

"Hmm, there shouldn't be any wild animals coming down the mountain during the day. I'll go take a look."

Chen Ling nodded, and thinking of Leopard Tail, he felt a little uneasy and quickly ran out to check.

When he took a look, he was stunned.

It turned out that no wild animals had entered the farm area.

It turned out that Xiao Jin had tackled Heiwa to the ground, revealing his gleaming white teeth, and biting Heiwa's neck.

Heiwa, however, wasn't angry or annoyed. He stuck out his tongue, rolled over, and looked at Xiaojin with fawning eyes, like a big, silly dog.

Judging from its ingratiating yet eager little eyes, and its restless, tongue-licking manner, it's clear that it's a bit afraid of Xiao Jin.

She seemed to want to get close to Xiao Jin, but was also a little hesitant.

"What's going on? Why are you two fighting?"

Chen Ling walked over and ruffled Xiao Jin's fluffy, bristling fur. Only then did Xiao Jin calm down and stop its angry, frightening appearance. It licked Chen Ling's hand, let go of Heiwa, and squatted down next to Chen Ling.

Heiwa scrambled to his feet, wagged his tail, and rubbed against him ingratiatingly. Then, with a licking face, he approached Xiaojin again, whimpering like a little puppy.

"Why did you provoke Xiao Jin? Can't you just do your own thing?"

Chen Ling kicked Heiwa, but didn't think much of it.

That's just how this idiot is. He's shameless, heartless, and always likes to fool around.

Moreover, he has too much energy. Whenever he has nothing to do at home, he takes advantage of the time spent watching over the chickens and ducks to frolic in the mountains and forests. He is very carefree and usually doesn't stay with Xiao Jin.

Little Jin, on the other hand, has recently taken to playing with foxes and guarding the farm; he's relatively calm and collected.

The two of them don't actually spend much time together.

I don't know what I did to offend Xiao Jin today.

"Come on, the chickens and ducks haven't been let out yet, let's go home and eat first."

I haven't fed them yet after breakfast.

Seeing the two creatures sticking out their tongues obediently, Chen Ling smiled and led them back.

Unexpectedly, halfway there...

While Xiao Jin was urinating in the grass, Heiwa followed Xiao Jin around, sniffing and sniffing, his ears perked up and his tail standing upright. The dog seemed unusually excited and energetic.

After groaning and moaning for a while, he suddenly straddled Xiao Jin and began to thrust wildly with excitement.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

This instantly enraged Xiao Jin, who turned around and started biting Heiwa.

Heiwa didn't resist, just shamelessly wagging his tail and whimpering softly, constantly looking for opportunities to ride on Xiaojin's back.

He was quickly pinned to the ground by Xiao Jin in anger.

And so, the same scene as before occurred again.

Chen Ling was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses upon seeing this scene.

Then he couldn't help but smile and walked over to the two dogs: "Hey kid, I was wondering why you made Little Gold angry. Turns out you were in heat."

As soon as he walked over, Xiao Jin let go of Heiwa. Then, she called softly to Chen Ling and hid behind him, looking very aggrieved.

It means letting him take charge and help manage Heiwa.

The two dogs had never been in heat before and had no experience, so they didn't know what was going on.

Therefore, Xiao Jin was very confused about Heiwa's sudden change.

It was already a big goofball, and now it's even sillier. It keeps acting up and I don't know why it's suddenly clinging to me today. It's driving me crazy.

"Heiwa, behave yourself. It's your turn, but Xiaojin's turn isn't yet."

"If you don't behave and annoy Xiao Jin, I won't be responsible if he bites you."

Chen Ling was helpless in this situation. He patted Heiwa's big head and pulled him up from the ground.

As a result, Heiwa was still incorrigible. Not even two minutes after returning to the farm, he ran to Xiaojin's side again and started harassing her. Xiaojin got annoyed and turned her back to him. In her excitement and confusion, Heiwa actually rode on Xiaojin's neck.

This left Wang Susu completely dumbfounded.

I don't know what's wrong with Heiwa.

Then, when Chen Ling told her that Heiwa was in heat, she finally understood.

After the initial surprise, she felt quite gratified, considering it was a dog she had raised from a puppy.

"So, does that mean Xiao Jin is about to have puppies?"

Cats and dogs, she's pregnant now, and in four months she'll have a litter of puppies.

Wang Susu couldn't help but feel happy just thinking about the chubby little puppy.

By the time the puppies are old enough to run and play, my own child will probably be able to run around too.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ling shook his head and said it wasn't possible now, and they would have to wait.

"Huh? Why not now?"

"Heiwa is in heat now, but Xiaojin isn't. Let's wait until Xiaojin is in heat before we talk about it."

"Heiwa, what's wrong with you? Can't you behave? If you keep causing trouble, I'll tie you up..."

As the two were talking, Wang Cunye and Gao Xiulan arrived, followed by two women, Qin Qiumei and Zhong Xiaoyun. They were both free today, so they came to visit Wang Susu.

They came with Wang Cunye.

The old man had been taking his youngest daughter to school recently, and he ran into the two of them on the way, so they came back together.

After arriving and sitting down, Qin Qiumei said to Wang Susu, "I've been a bit busy this year and haven't been able to come over for a long time. I came to visit you for a day. The temple fair in the county town will be over soon, so come to our house then."

“I told you guys to come last year, but you couldn’t make it. Zhenzhen just went to my house to play by herself for a while.”

Last year, the fourth grandmother of the Chen family suddenly passed away. Chen Ling was wearing mourning clothes and was unable to visit relatives and friends.

“Great! Our whole family will go this year.”

Wang Susu laughed and said, "This year I'll go to your house, and next year I'll go to Sister Xiaoyun's house."

The county town's autumn temple fair is on the 21st day of the ninth lunar month, which is still a long way off.

However, since everyone is busy with the autumn harvest in the middle, it's no big deal to let them know in advance.

"Oh dear, what's wrong with your dog? It was so well-behaved before, why is it fighting today?"

Nearby, Zhong Xiaoyun was about to tease the little one in Wang Susu's arms when she suddenly saw Xiao Jin biting Heiwa.

Needless to say, Heiwa must have been up to his old tricks again.

"It is usually quite obedient, but now that it's time to breed with another dog, it's a special time, and it can't control itself."

Chen Ling explained for a moment, then glared at Heiwa and scolded him, telling him to leave the house and go out to guard the door.

Heiwa then tucked his tail between his legs, looking back every few steps, and pitifully ran to the outside of the farm.

When a dog is in heat, it dangles its genitals back and forth. It's fine if no one comes over, but it's quite an eyesore when someone does.

Especially for female guests, extra care needs to be taken.

Sure enough, upon hearing this and taking a closer look at the situation, the two women blushed instantly.

Gao Xiulan, however, didn't think anything of it. These two big dogs were quite sensible, and it wasn't a bad thing to have dogs as a couple. She then stared intently at Xiao Jin's belly, trying to see if she was already secretly pregnant.

Otherwise, why not let Heiwa be paired with him?

Wang Cunye was also quite happy: "They should be having puppies soon. With our two big dogs, they're so powerful. If they have a litter of puppies next year, other people will definitely be fighting over them."

Upon hearing this, Gao Xiulan snorted proudly: "Who says otherwise? Last year, that professor even said that people who love this dog would love it to death and would be willing to pay any amount of money to buy it. It's just that Lingzi wouldn't sell it."

"In my opinion, our dog is such a good dog, so the puppies she has will definitely be top-notch. I just don't know how many there will be. It would be best if there were seventeen or eighteen puppies in one litter, otherwise there won't be enough for other people to hold."

When the two elders started talking about the puppy, the women no longer felt embarrassed; instead, they became interested.

"I want to hug a puppy."

"I want one too, Fugui, please save one for me."

“Yes, Amei and I will each take one. Since no one else knows yet, we can reserve two spots first.”

Seeing the two of them like this, Wang Susu smiled and said, "Don't be in such a hurry. Ah Ling is not sure if it will work out. Heiwa is a suitable match now, but Xiao Jin is not ready yet. I don't know if we can wait until this year."

"Huh? Why not? Is it because Xiao Jin won't allow it? I saw the two of them fighting just now," Zhong Xiaoyun asked.

"Well, Little Gold isn't in heat, so it doesn't understand what Blackie is trying to do. It probably thinks Blackie is just looking for trouble and trying to find ways to play with it."

Chen Ling smiled helplessly. The two dogs' heat cycles just wouldn't align, and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

When you encounter a situation where the male dog is in heat but the female dog is not.

A female dog will not allow a male dog to mate with her.

Even if a dog is in heat, she will only give way to a male dog and actively seek him out for mating when the female dog ovulates at the time specified by the male.

What about this so-called "giving way"?

It's when a female dog moves her tail to the side, signaling her interest in the male dog.

There's an old saying that goes, "If the female dog doesn't stick her butt out, the male dog won't go to the trough," which means the same thing.

Apart from that, all the time belongs to the male dog's self-entertainment.

No matter how excited the male dog is, the female dog will ignore him and even bite him if she provokes him.

Of course, if there is a large difference in body size.

Many shameless male dogs are even bitten to death by female dogs, their deaths are gruesome.

"Oh, I see. What a pity. I thought Xiao Jin was about to have puppies."

The two women were immediately disappointed.

Chen Ling shrugged, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

Then he stood up and said, "You guys stay home and play. We're all going to have a drink today. I'll take Heiwa for a walk around the village. Otherwise, it won't behave itself at home, and if it annoys Xiaojin, it'll start a fight again."

He then went to the storeroom, grabbed a jar of corn liquor, and called Heiwa to head to the village.

The matter of Heiwa going into heat.

It was supposed to be a good thing.

However, since the young man is only at that age and has little experience, he doesn't know when he can or cannot find a partner.

When they're in heat, they get happy, excited, and their blood boils, and all they can think about is causing trouble.

If you do this haphazardly and without any direction, it will only annoy the female dog.

It can also easily annoy family members.

This is how a good thing turned into a bad thing.

So Chen Ling took it out for a walk to see if there were any other female dogs in the village that were in heat, so it could mate with one and experience the pleasure.

Logically speaking, dogs shouldn't be bred during their first heat, as it's too harmful to their health.

However, Heiwa and Xiaojin are not included in this category. They are physically strong and not afraid of this. Chen Ling also doesn't want Heiwa to suffer. If they are not good enough for a dog, they will bark at home and annoy everyone.

So they went to Wang Lixian's house, put down the wine jar and asked him something, then took Heiwa to search for the mother dog all over the village.
