My 1995 Small Farm.

Chapter 621 A Shou's Wronged Feelings

"Rui Rui is back. Why is he chasing someone else's kitten again?"

In the afternoon, Liu Yinhuan and the others went out to buy things, while Chen Ling took the brat to feed the pigeons in the square until they returned.

There are pigeons at home, but Rui Rui isn't interested in feeding them. Instead, she hugs her little water bottle and snuggles up to Chen Ling's legs, drinking water while looking around for things to play with.

A moment later, his eyes lit up, and he got up and chased after a few kittens not far away to scare them.

This little kitten is so tiny, it's meowing softly.

It might not even be a full moon.

The big cat gave birth to it in the bushes of the park on the edge of the square.

I was spotted by Rui Rui as soon as I ran out for a stroll.

The brat gets bullied by cats and leopards at home all the time, so he doesn't like those kinds of things. Whenever he sees a kitten, he wants to chase it away, scare it, and bully it.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ling immediately called out to him.

Such a tiny kitten must have an adult cat nearby.

Mother cats with kittens have terrible tempers; what if they hurt him?

As soon as Chen Ling finished shouting, a slender calico female cat hurriedly ran out.

Surprisingly, the mother cat wasn't very brave either.

When Rui Rui saw that she was scaring the kitten, she didn't get angry or upset. She just picked up the kitten that was meowing and tried to run away.

But it was too timid, and in its panic, it couldn't hold on to its paws properly.

She would just pick up a child in her mouth, then drop it, and then eagerly go to pick up another child.

It was incredibly chaotic.

"Alright, alright, look how scared you are."

Chen Ling pulled the brat, who was still trying to stomp his feet to scare him, aside.

Young children's attention spans are very short.

Once the kittens were far enough away, the adult cat would quickly carry them away and they would be out of sight, so Rui Rui's attention turned to the pigeons in the square.

Just then, a few doves landed and mingled with the flock of pigeons, pecking enthusiastically at the ground.

When Rui Rui saw them, he ran over and kicked them without saying a word.

In an instant, the flock of pigeons took flight in all directions.

He chuckled triumphantly, stomping his little feet and shouting.

Then, seeing that all the other pigeons had flown away, those silly doves actually landed not far away again and continued to peck at the food on the ground.

He made little "ah ah" sounds and ran after him.

The doves in these cities often see people and frequently mingle with the flocks of pigeons here, eating and drinking freely, and they are even bolder than the doves in the countryside.

This thing is naturally slower to react than other birds; it will only fly away when you get within a meter or two.

The doves here are bold and often come into contact with people without fear.

Even when Rui Rui chased after it, it wouldn't fly away.

Rui Rui chased after it, and it ran on the ground with tiny, quick steps. Those tiny steps were so fast that Rui Rui couldn't catch up with it for a while.

But it stubbornly refused to fly, which made things quite amusing.

Rui Rui squeaked excitedly and chased the silly dove all over the square.

They caught up with them a short while later.

They circled around Chen Ling, chasing and fleeing.

It wasn't until Er Tuzi flew over, circled, and landed that the silly dove was scared away.

Rui Rui had also had his fill of fun, and panting, he grinned at Chen Ling.

Then, clumsily imitating Chen Ling, she slowly sat down on the small steps, resting her chin on her hands and sitting side by side with Chen Ling.

"Heh, you two are really having a good time."

Liu Yinhuan and Qin Yueru brought their two children back, and upon seeing them, they teased them.

They went to buy books and stationery for Little Fatty and Little Chestnut.

"Auntie!"

As soon as Rui Rui heard their voices, she got up and ran over with a giggle.

While calling out "Auntie," she was actually looking for the chubby boy and chestnut who were with the two of them.

"Hey, don't rush to play. Look at the sweat on your head, your dad didn't even wipe it off for you."

Liu Yinhuan reached out and picked him up, then took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped Rui Rui's sweat. The little rascal just kept grinning at the older brothers and sisters below.

"Uncle, can Little Chestnut and I go back with you?"

"Yes, Uncle, we want to see sika deer, muntjacs, puppies, and many, many more..."

After the National Day holiday, the two little ones should go back to school.

However, they were clearly not focused on their studies.

Especially after hearing Chen Ling say that he had caught a lot of sika deer, and that a little muntjac that looked like a lamb was pregnant and about to give birth, she really couldn't wait to go back with him.

"You'll have to ask your mother; I can't make that decision."

Chen Ling shrugged, indicating that he couldn't do anything about it.

"Mom~"

The two little ones quickly turned to look at their mother.

"...Okay, okay, it's rare for Xiao Lizi to come all the way here with her aunt. This time, she can go back to the countryside with her uncle for a few days. But let me make it clear beforehand that after this trip, if it's not a Sunday for Lele's and Kang Kang's one-month celebration, she can't take leave."

Liu Yinhuan reluctantly agreed, but she made some conditions.

"That's fine too. Anyway, I'll be staying with my grandparents during the Chinese New Year. By then, my younger siblings will all be grown up and can play with me."

The chubby boy muttered to himself, fantasizing that in two or three months Kang Kang and Le Le would be able to travel around with them like Rui Rui.

It will snow during the Chinese New Year, which makes me very happy.

Little Chestnut nodded enthusiastically, "I also came with my mom for Chinese New Year to celebrate with my grandparents. I miss Aunt Susu and my little aunt too; it's been so long since I've seen them."

"Me too, I've thought about it too."

The chubby boy immediately retorted, not to be outdone.

The two little ones started chattering away, one after the other.

Wait until they've made enough of a scene.

Chen Ling then drove them to the provincial capital to visit Afu and Ashou at the zoo.

That was the main purpose of coming out in the afternoon.

I originally planned to visit Han Ninggui as well.

But after making the call, Professor Han and Lynx set off that night for a scientific expedition to Yunnan and Guizhou, a journey that is quite long.

Chen Ling didn't go over to disturb them.

They only confirmed the existence of the so-called 'fragrant weasel' over the phone.

My curiosity grew even stronger.

Hopefully, the kite hunters will actually bring him some in the future.

It takes two hours to drive from the city to the provincial capital, which is relatively fast if you're driving a small car.

If you ride a horse like Chen Ling used to, it's faster to take the back path.

Driving is still more comfortable; even after 4 a.m., it wasn't dark yet.

Everyone at the zoo knows Chen Ling.

Now he's famous here; his legend is known throughout the entire zoo.

Even the newest employees know him.

So they went in smoothly and reached the beast zone, where they met Afu and Ashou.

Upon entering the park, this goes without saying.

The two tiger cubs had already caught a whiff of Chen Ling's scent.

They were already perched high in front of the cage, eagerly waiting.

They looked exactly like two boarding primary school students waiting for their parents to visit.

"Wow, Ah Fu and Ah Shou are so big! They look so small when they're next to their uncle on TV."

Little Chestnut stood on tiptoe and exclaimed, her eyes full of curiosity. The little girl lived in the capital and even though she had heard of the names Afu and Ashou, she had only seen their faces on the news.

The chubby boy, who lived closer, knew that Afu and Ashou were raised by Chen Ling, and had already asked his parents to bring them to the zoo once or twice.

But now, seeing them, his eyes widened: "Uncle, they both seem to have grown a bit."

"Yes, he has grown a lot."

Chen Ling nodded with a smile. Afu and Ashou had stayed in the village for quite some time and had gone into the mountains several times, where they had seen blood on numerous occasions.

Their bodies grow up much faster than tiger cubs of the same age.

"roar~"

When Afu and Ashou saw that Chen Ling had arrived and was still talking outside instead of coming in to find them, they became anxious and howled loudly, banging on the cage.

This caused the other tigers to keep looking in this direction as well.

Upon hearing the news, the zookeepers and trainers arrived and, seeing this, chuckled and hurriedly urged Chen Ling to go inside.

Now, Afu and Ashou don't usually live with the other tigers. They live in small cubicles and, as Chen Ling requested, they dug a small burrow that looks like a tiger den behind the farm.

Only during mealtimes or when the weather is nice can they be allowed to gather together in the tiger enclosure to play and relax.

Anyway, Chen Ling is picked up every two months or so. He can go into the mountains to play and run freely in the fields, which is much better than other tigers.

It hasn't actually been that long since then.

But the two tiger cubs were still incredibly excited to see Chen Ling. As soon as Chen Ling walked in, their voices were no longer those of tigers, but rather like those of kittens, whimpering and whining.

Ah Fu, this little tigress, is extremely clingy.

Once he saw Chen Ling, there was nothing else to do but hug, hug, hug, and hug...

The big head swayed and rolled back and forth on Chen Ling's chest and back, acting cute, or it would bury its head in Chen Ling's arms while its body and even its belly turned over, playing around like this.

Ah Shou, this little male tiger, is different.

Although it missed Chen Ling, it was much more playful than Afu. After acting cute, it hugged one of Chen Ling's legs with its two thick, strong paws, while holding a stone egg slightly larger than a tennis ball in its mouth. It rested its head against Chen Ling's feet and kept gnawing on it.

They made the white stone egg covered in saliva.

Every now and then, when Chen Ling looked over, it would pick up the stone egg and hand it to him, looking at him expectantly as if asking if he was ready and if he had time to play with it.

This amused Chen Ling greatly.

So they called over Liu Yinhuan, Qin Yueru, and the children to play with the two little tigers.

Ah Fu and Ah Shou are naturally sensible.

I already knew not to hurt people when I was in the village.

Not to mention those who were with Chen Ling.

However, when they saw Rui Rui and several weasels, they reacted somewhat uncomfortably, their ears twitching.

These little guys are so energetic and energetic.

Not fun at all.

Sure enough, nothing has happened yet.

Rui Rui ran up behind Ashou with giggles and grabbed its tail, curiously poking at its growing testicles.

Ah Shou's body trembled instantly, and the stone egg in his mouth fell out.

With a look of terror on its face, it turned its head to look behind it, then howled pitifully and tried to hide between Chen Ling's legs.

"You brat, can't you just behave yourself?"

Chen Ling couldn't free his hands because Afu was clinging to him, so he could only glare at him.

Liu Yinhuan and the other woman blushed slightly and hurriedly pulled Rui Rui away, afraid that if the little fat boy and the little chestnut saw Rui Rui's actions, they would follow suit and anger A Shou.

"Are we taking them back this time?" the zookeeper asked.

"No, I just happened to be in the city, so I drove over to take a look."

As Chen Ling spoke, he asked the zookeeper to bring over some raw meat.

Liu Yinhuan and I, along with the children, came to feed Afu and Ashou.

Whether facing a big tiger or a little squirrel.

It doesn't matter whether it's an adult or a child.

Feeding them brings more joy.

indeed.

At first, the two women were a little scared, but after seeing that Afu and Ashou ate the food they gave them in a very considerate way, they were overjoyed and happy.

The three children were extremely excited.

Rui Rui had already climbed onto Ashou's back.

After riding for a while, he kept shouting "stinky! stinky!" at Chen Ling, meaning that Ah Shou had become smelly at the zoo.

This left Ah Shou looking utterly hopeless.

I'm so tired I don't even want to move.

Chen Ling was also helpless. No one dared to approach Afu and Ashou at the zoo, let alone bathe them, so they naturally looked quite dirty.

But to say that they smelled bad wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"It's getting dark, you should all go home now. I'll stay a little longer and give them both a bath."

Chen Ling said to the two zookeepers.

The two agreed and told Chen Ling where the brushes, soap, and other items were, then left.

However, the old director arrived quickly after they left.

They didn't say anything else when they arrived.

I just heard from a friend that Chen Ling sold dogs for exorbitant prices and made a fortune.

Chen Ling didn't expect that something that happened only this morning would spread so quickly.

But think about those people, there are all kinds of people, dog fighters, gamblers... it's not surprising that their boasts get out.

The former headmaster wasn't exactly an outsider.

He is also good friends with Professor Han and the others.

Without his guarantee, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly for Afu and Ashou.

Then Chen Ling explained why he sold the puppy at a high price.

I won't go into details about this.

To outsiders, it does seem strange and outrageous to hear that so much money is spent on a dog.

After all, those bosses had just eaten a meal, and their businesses hadn't changed much yet, but they each got a puppy.

They rushed to buy up all of Chen Ling's puppies at a high price.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Chen Ling had some special identity.

That's why so many people are trying to please him.

Actually, those puppies only cost five or six thousand, or six or seven thousand.

It sounds expensive, but compared to the price of some foreign dogs these days, it's nothing.

In later generations, there were so many foreign pet dogs in China, entering thousands of households. To put it bluntly, it's like the rural appliance subsidy program; those dogs are becoming more and more common.

In those days, it was really hard to get your hands on, and it was certainly not cheap.

In addition, some families who are particular about their living conditions keep large foreign dogs and feed them raw meat. The cost of their food alone is more expensive than the dogs themselves.

This needs no further explanation; those who know, know.

Ultimately, it all boils down to whether Chen Ling's dog is worth it.

They can't even compare to foreign dogs anymore.

So Chen Ling knew that spending five or six thousand yuan to buy a dog was still quite a painful expense for these big bosses.

It's not that they're short of five or six thousand yuan; it's that they feel Chen Ling's dog is essentially a mongrel, not a foreign breed.

Spending five or six thousand yuan to buy a mongrel dog, that's really painful.

Even if you put it nicely, calling them hunting dogs or wolfhounds, so what? To put it bluntly, they're still just mongrel dogs.

"Haha, kid, you don't need to say so much to me. We're so close, and I don't have any prejudice against you... Besides, everyone is praising you now, and no one is talking badly about you behind your back."

The old headmaster laughed heartily and pointed at Chen Ling: "You're a genius, kid. You can sell puppies for over 100,000 yuan. If word gets out, people will probably try to rob you on the way."
