Chapter 25 Rural Procurement

After taking the bus for more than three hours, I finally returned to my hometown. I got on a small bus and arrived at the door in ten minutes. Before the car stopped, I saw the gray-haired old father standing there. On Ba's platform, Ba looked eagerly.

After getting off the minibus, my father came over with a smile on his face and wanted to help Ju An with something. His eyes were sore, and he said to his father, "Just wait for me at home. It's such a hot day, it's so hot outside."

The father said with a smile: "I'm a little anxious at home, come out and have a look."

He changed the box to his right hand, took his father's arm, and walked home.

When I got home, my sister, brother-in-law, and my little niece, Tongtong, had already arrived. As soon as Tongtong saw Ju An, she cheered and ran over, hugging Ju An's thigh and shouting, "Little uncle, little uncle, I want to die. It's bright."

He put down the box quickly, and picked up Tongtong, only to realize that a small head was squatting behind his mother and looking at Ju An.

Ju An said with a smile: "Ran Ran has forgotten the second master?". (A name for Ju An's hometown, even the father's younger brother is called Ye)
The mother pulled Ran Ran out from behind, pointed at Ju An and said, "Didn't Ran Ran see the second master during the Chinese New Year, hurry up and call the second master".

Ran Ran twisted her arms and called out in a low voice: "Second Master" is like a kitten's meowing, and you can't hear it if you don't pay attention.

Ju An knows that Ran Ran is a little timid, but Ju An discovered it during the Chinese New Year. He told his brother about such a problem, and his brother was helpless. Now both brother and sister-in-law are at work. Every day when he comes back from school, he watches TV and is bored by himself. At home, he is a bit introverted and doesn't like to play with other children. He has also taken it downstairs a few times, watching other children play and standing by himself.There was another student in the school who was always bullying him.

Holding Tongtong in her arms and holding Ran Ran in her hands, she walked to the main room. At this time, her sister brought the box in, and Ju An opened the box, took two buckets of potato chips from it, and distributed one to each of the two little guys. bucket.

Tongtong took the potato chips and opened them, grabbed them and put them in her mouth, while Ran Ran rolled them one by one and put them in her mouth, eating very delicately.

Played with the two little guys for a while and let the two little guys watch TV.

Ju An went to the kitchen and saw her sister-in-law and her parents were making dumplings together. Ju An washed her hands and came over to help.

As a result, my brother-in-law was working on rolling dumplings and said, "Ran Ran, you are too timid, like a girl."

Mom said, "Yeah, I've been here for two days, and it's not like your brother and you were like a skin monkey when you were young. Ran Ran can watch TV all morning, and it's all brought by your sister-in-law's mother. I don't know. How do you bring the child, it is not solid at all, there is no boy's appearance, if you bring it to me, you can see how happy Tongtong is."

"Just bring it for you. Tongtong went to kindergarten on the first day, and the teacher called the parents, saying that Tongtong grabbed other children's stools and made them cry." The elder sister glanced at her mother and said.

Then he turned to Ju An and said, "You don't know, it was only when my mother took Tongtong to the supermarket that she was disrespected. When Tongtong saw the candy in the wooden barrel, she grabbed it and ate it. The salesperson came over and said, "Children can't do this. Guess what my mother said, she said if she didn't try it, how would she know if it was good or not, and how to buy it if it wasn't good, I wanted to find a hole next to it and hide my head."

The father said: "Well, of course, you have to try this food. If you don't like it, who will eat it when you buy it, and you won't let it taste it."

Ju An looked at her parents' confident expressions and laughed.

Thinking of when I was young, my brother and I were often beaten by my father because they exchanged things at home for candy. Now it's the grandchildren's turn to be righteous. Could it be that they are really next-generation relatives?

"Brother, if you have children in the future, don't let your parents take them with you. My brother-in-law and I are about to have a headache. The kindergarten teacher teaches dancing. One of the children is slow to learn. People's grandma said, your children are too stupid, they can't even learn to dance, which embarrassed me to death," said the elder sister.

In this way, while making dumplings, talking about the fun of the little guys.

It didn't take long for Tongtong's little head to come in through the crack of the door: "Little uncle, I've finished eating, do you have anything left?"

The elder sister glared: "Don't eat? Don't eat, eat after dinner."

Tongtong immediately pouted, leaning on Ju An's body, twisting her chubby little fingers.

"I'll eat when my brother finishes eating, and I'll eat it in the afternoon" Mom said to Tongtong: "Brother sees that you have finished eating, will I give you some points?".

"Divided, I eat fast, my brother gave me so much." Said Tongtong gestured with her hands.

The elder sister said, "Ran Ran is not stingy, she gives her everything to eat. Unlike our family, her belly is a bottomless pit."

Ju An smiled and clapped his hands, patted off the face on his hands, then picked up Tongtong and put it on his lap, twisting his nose.

The little guy giggled, shaking his head to hide from Ju An's big hand.

After eating, Ju An waited for the two little guys to take a nap. Little Otto drove out the door with his brother-in-law. If the little guys were awake, don't even think about it.After saying that Ju An bought something to put into the space, it is not easy to hide it with the little guys.It is said that you can't drive without a driver's license. This is Ju'an's hometown. Anyone who pulls people around on the street can pull out a relative. As long as there is no accident when driving without a license, there is nothing wrong.

I went to the flower and bird market on the edge of the town. This market has only been established for two years. It is a key project in the county.

As soon as you enter the market, the house is very beautiful. Rows of white walls and blue tiles are neatly arranged on the road paved with blue bricks more than ten meters wide. It's a little bit, it's just a matter of time, most of the doors are still closed, and the few who have opened the doors are still lazy.

Walking into a pet store, I found that the owner was dozing off, and Ju An didn't even notice when she came in. Ju An knocked on the counter.

The owner opened his eyes.

Ju An said in his native dialect: "I want to buy a few native dogs to raise, are there any here?"

Then the shop owner changed his smile and said, "Brother, if you want a local dog, come here to see it."After speaking, he brought Ju An to the side of a small square frame.There were four or five puppies in it, and Ju An knew at a glance that this was a common local dog in the county.

Asked: "How much is one?"

The shop owner said with a smile: "25 for a male, [-] for a grass dog." (Grass dog is the name of the bitch in Ju'an's hometown)
Ju An nodded and thought it was not expensive: "Is this a nest?".

"It's a nest. It's only been over a month. Look at how smart the little guys are," the shop owner said, teasing a black and white flower.

"Okay, there are a few grass dogs here, I want them all." Ju An nodded.

The shop owner said with a smile: "This litter, four grass dogs."

Ju An thought about it for a while: "The male one can be counted for me, and the family is complete with a companion."

"Okay," the boss happily agreed: "There is another litter here, three slightly older, two months old, or two grass dogs, I'll give you the same price."

Ju An nodded and agreed.

"Brother, do you want to get a husky? It's popular now. I'm cheap here. How about three hundred?" The store owner continued to sell.

Ju An smiled and said, "If I were to look after the house and care for the home, what would I want the husky to do, it would be fine if the thief was not brought home by that thing."

"It's good for our local dogs to guard the home and care for the home. Smart guards can't do it for foreign dogs." The shop owner nodded and agreed with Ju An's statement.

Carrying the cage containing the eight puppies, Ju An returned to the car and threw the eight puppies into the space.Then come out and continue swaying.

After purchasing more than [-] fluffy goose seedlings, geese mainly eat grass anyway, and there is not much in Ju'an, just a lot of grass.Ju An also learned that European geese were domesticated from grey geese, while Chinese geese were domesticated from geese.That's why I buy geese in China, not directly in the United States.

I also purchased more than a dozen ducks, mainly eating duck eggs. As for duck meat, Ju An does not like it very much. Jiangnan City loves ducks. After living in Jiangnan for several years, Ju An is tired of eating ducks.

The ducks and geese are placed directly in the pond, and the dogs are placed in the yard to have fun. Fortunately, Ju An has stewed a pot of beef with soup in the United States to support these guys to eat for two weeks without any problem. , not to mention a whole lot of brown bread.

When they got home, Tongtong and Ranran had already woken up, and Tongtong was playing with Ranran on the sofa.Seeing Ju An coming back, he stretched out his little finger and pointed at Ju An and said, "Little uncle, big rascal, don't take me out to play, Tongtong and my brother."

Ju An coaxed and said, "The day after tomorrow, my uncle took you to the United States, and my uncle went out to see and buy something to bring to Tongtong to eat."

"Where's the stuff?" Tongtong asked curiously, looking at Ju An's empty hands.

"The things are put away by grandma, and when Tongtong arrives in the United States, I will give it to Tongtong and my brother." The mother quickly smoothed things out, and then fooled the little guy.

When Ju An returned home early in the morning on the third day, the whole family had already woken up.I dressed the sleepy little guy, and finally checked that all the documents to be brought were ready, then got into the packaged taxi and went directly to Jiangnan Airport.Transfer to Capital Airport for direct flight to San Francisco.

Along the way, Ran Ran was still very quiet and obedient. Tongtong used her mother's words to say that her butt was stuck with an awl. Except when she was sleeping, she didn't have a moment to be honest.

In the end, Ju An and her brother-in-law had to take turns hugging each other to be more honest, and it took a long time to fall asleep on the plane.My sister told Ju An that she was happy, and told the kindergarten children some time ago that she was going to her uncle's house soon.My uncle's house is so far away, I have to take a plane to get there.Looking at the bright red face, it is indescribably cute.
