Only this green, not disappointing the spring

"I have thought of a way to make ginger available to our family in winter."

This thought had flashed through Zhou Xiaoxi's mind before, but he was interrupted at that time, and then he was busy all the time, so he didn't think of it until now.

Zhou Xiaonan's eyes were full of admiration.

She was very puzzled. They were family, so why was it that only her sister was smarter?

"Sister, please tell me, I'm so curious!"

Zhou Xiaoxi didn't come up with this idea on her own at all. Instead, it was some tips she searched for on the Internet in her previous life in order to avoid wasting food.

It’s just that I almost forgot about it because I didn’t use it for a long time.

The method I planned to use this time came to me suddenly when I passed by the stream in the village.

"There is a lot of sand in the stream in our village. When I go home, I will pick some and take it home to dry. When I have collected enough, I will put it in a clay pot at home and bury the ginger in the sand. If it is handled well, it can be stored for the whole winter without any problem."

"Sister, why can ginger stay fresh if stored like this?"

Zhou Xiaonan is ready to start the "A Hundred Thousand Whys" mode.

Unfortunately, it was extinguished by Zhou Xiaoxi's words.

"I can't remember clearly. I might have heard it from a peddler who came to the village. It just so happened that I remembered it when I came to the mountain."

Zhou Xiaonan was a little depressed. Why had he never met such an interesting peddler?

Next time a peddler comes to the village, she will definitely have a good chat with him. Well, that requires that she has some free time.

After knowing what to do next, the two sisters stopped chatting and got down to work.

What was surprising was that they went a little deeper into the mountains today and found a lot of herbs that their father needed. This time, they naturally had a great harvest.

Just as the two sisters were walking down the mountain, a small incident occurred.

They found a wounded dog or maybe a wolf, and they couldn't tell the difference.

Let's just assume that it is a dog, with a puppy that is no more than one month old.

The two sisters were very nervous at first, fearing that the dog would pounce on them without any care, even though it was injured.

At first the dog bared its teeth fiercely, but probably because it realized there were only two children in front of it and thought they had no attack power, it quickly became quiet.

She even kept staring at them, then looked at her own children, with a pleading look in her eyes.

Zhou Xiaoxi felt that he had not misunderstood. After all, many of the emotions of animals are similar to those of humans.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the dog must have injured its leg in a fight with another animal. The wound looked bloody, but Zhou Xiaoxi had no idea what the exact extent of the injury was, and of course he didn't dare to go forward to confirm it.

The puppy must be hungry and wanted to drink milk. After a few gulps, he found nothing and whimpered in grievance.

The injured dog looked at the two sisters again, with that begging look in his eyes.

This time it was more obvious. It pushed its child with its head and made a whimpering sound, as if explaining something.

The puppy turned towards the two of them hesitantly, looking back at its mother every few steps, as if confirming whether it really had to leave.

Zhou Xiaonan tugged at the corner of Zhou Xiaoxi's clothes, his eyes never leaving the two dogs.

"Sister, does it want us to adopt this little puppy?"

"I think so. She is too weak and has no milk to feed her baby."

If it were in his previous life, Zhou Xiaoxi would have adopted the puppy without hesitation.

After all, that was an era when ordinary people could neither starve to death nor live well, so it was still possible to share a bite of food with the puppy.

But now, a family eats coarse grains and wild vegetables all day long, and an egg is divided into four portions. They don't eat a bite of meat all year round. Can they really feed a dog? Especially when it grows up.

But, there is always a way! As long as I work hard, my life will get better and better. Zhou Xiaoxi convinced herself in her heart.

"Xiao Nan, take out the dry food I left over. This dog must be starving."

"But sister, the puppy probably can't eat such hard dry food, and it's very hungry."

Zhou Xiaonan really wanted to take the puppy home, but she didn't dare to say it.

Zhou Xiaoxi could see that her sister was hesitant to speak. "How about we take the puppy home and raise him?"

Zhou Xiaonan nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice.

He happily took out the remaining dry food, carefully broke it into small pieces, and gently threw it to the injured and unable to move big dog.

In fact, Zhou Xiaoxi wanted to take the big dog home because their family was in urgent need of a guard dog.

The jujube tree branches on the courtyard wall of the house can only scare away the children in the village. In the eyes of adults, they are just decorations.

But I can only think about it, it is completely unrealistic to take it home.

This dog grew up in the mountains and has a ferocious nature. Even if it looks humane now, there is no guarantee that it will not hurt people in the future.

Even with this little puppy, you have to be careful when dealing with it. After all, there is no rabies vaccine in this time and space.

With her sister's consent, Zhou Xiaonan put the puppy in the backpack and laughed heartily.

Zhou Xiaoxi is not as relaxed as her sister. She will probably have to explain a lot when she gets home. After all, no one in the village keeps a dog, and she doesn't know whether her parents can accept it.

Obviously, Zhou Xiaoxi underestimated his importance in his family's hearts.

After returning home, she thought she would need to do a lot of persuasion, but unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaonan happily told Li that it was the puppy that her sister agreed to raise.

Li didn't show any sign of being angry. She simply asked what happened and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Zhou Xiaoxi was stunned. Is this over? My parents didn't object at all?

What she didn't know was that in the hearts of Zhou Jun and his wife, Zhou Xiaoxi had already become the backbone of the family.

What's more, they all thought of Xiaoxi's purpose in bringing the dog home. The incident of the villagers climbing the wall a few days ago has always been a knot in Li's heart.

Until Zhou Jun was completely well, Li could never feel at ease, and even developed the habit of getting up in the middle of the night to check everywhere.

As a result, Li had trouble sleeping and felt listless all day.

If you have a big dog at home that can only guard the house, that would be a completely different story.

Although the dog will eat a lot when it grows up, the safety of the family is of course more important.

Just think of it as one more mouth to feed, no need to worry too much about it.

The puppy can only drink milk and can't eat anything.

Li used the method she used to raise her daughter and made millet porridge for the little girl.

Zhou Xiaonan squatted on the ground and fed the little guy little by little with a spoon. She suddenly thought of a very important question.

So he immediately raised his head and looked at Zhou Xiaoxi,

"Sister, do we need to give the puppy a name?"

Zhou Jun and Li couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed that they really treated the little guy as a member of the family.

Otherwise, why didn’t you think of giving names to the three hens at home?
