"Are you better? Woke up so early."

Shao Kou didn't turn his head when he heard the voice, asked him a question, and continued to be half-hearted, the chicken cake he steamed in the pot, the green onion cake baked in the pan, and the three yellow chicken stewed in the casserole. Skim the foam.

"You didn't close the curtains for me, did you do it on purpose?"

He answered the second half of the sentence, why did he get up early, and said he didn't hear the first half of the sentence.

As for Shao Kou, he paid more attention to the first half of the sentence, and asked again, "Is it not uncomfortable? I didn't put on more clothes."

The lips of the two don't match the mouth of the horse, and they each say their own things.

Waiting for the chicken soup to be ready, Shao Kou sprinkled some green onion, coriander and pepper, served it on the table, glanced at his face, he was still a little pale, and needed to be mended.

Bian Mu didn't pay attention when he sat down, but now he caught a glimpse of him pulling off the coat on the chair, and a ball of hair emerged from it, he was startled, thinking it was a mouse, his pupils dilated and exclaimed, "You What the hell did you do?"

"Shh..."

Shao Kou put his index finger up on his mouth and lowered his voice, "Don't make such a big noise, it's asleep."

Damn, the irascible old man suddenly changed his style of painting and became an old mother who protects the calf. This picture is too beautiful, he dare not look at it.

He opened the inside and let the border shepherd see the whole thing. It turned out to be a little milk dog with light brown fluff, two small triangular ears drooping, small paws resting on the side of the face, eyes closed, and three small white whiskers. Trembling and snoring, so cute.

"Which dump did you pick it up from?"

He couldn't admit the cuteness at that moment just now, and had to resist strongly, he hated stupid furry animals.

"The uncle next door gave it to you. Look, the little thing is not as big as my palm."

Shao Kou picked it up and let him see that the sun finally came out again today, and it descended into the room with ease. Bian Mu looked at a person and a dog, and suddenly came to inspiration. He said don't disturb him, and went directly upstairs studio.

"Hey, you can go after dinner."

Why doesn't he even eat, the little painter is really impatient, he has no choice but to sit down and eat a few bites by himself, he wants to build a nest for the little milk dog, um, buy some pure milk, he doesn't know how to leave the dog Mom, can it adapt?

After a short while in the morning, Shao Kou picked a corner of his house where there was sunlight, arranged a large kennel made of pure cotton, gave it a bath, and dried it with a hair dryer, so obedient, It's not like the tortoise upstairs at all. It's been three hours and I don't know how hungry it is. Go buy a few big bones and come back to make soup.

Upstairs in the studio, the windows are covered by black curtains, the incandescent lamps on the ceiling are bright, and in front of the canvas shelf, Bian Mu deliberates for a long time before he writes the last few strokes. The angle of view changes, and when he arrives at his painting, it turns out to be a staircase, made of wood. The walnut stairs, layer by layer, have been stacked and stretched. Maybe the sun is too fierce, reflecting two completely different brightness colors, one side is white, and the other side is yellow. Only when you look at the painting as a whole macroscopically, you will find that At the bottom, there is a fleshy brown puppy. It is trying hard to climb the stairs. Its front paw just hit the edge of the first floor of the stairs, but because the sunlight passing through is too dazzling, it lifts the other front paw. Covering the eyes, revealing the snow-white belly and two taut hind paws with absolute strength, the inscription in the lower corner is working hard.

Nodding in satisfaction, he packed up his painting tools and went to take a shower first. Because of the heat, he didn't change into a knitted jumper. Instead, he wore a light blue shirt with a few buttons loosely tied on it, and the black buttons on the collar were also loose. He casually shrugged, put on his glasses again, and put on a pair of dark blue jeans, the Harlan style with wide hips and tight calves, and went downstairs with a denim jacket.

"Little Kouzi, I'm hungry."

Combining two meals into one meal, his appetite is still not as good as Shao Kou's. Obviously, there is a big gap between the two's physiques.

Bian Mu wiped his mouth and said with him, "Hey, after Qingming, the weather will be warm soon, come with me to see the fruit trees on the mountain, I want to replace them all with orange trees, but that's impossible for a year If it doesn’t work, just open a small piece, and keep the original ones.”

This mountain has been contracted out before, and the nearby villagers failed to plant land, so they replanted fruit trees. Because the fruit saplings grew too slowly, they gave up decisively and went out to find a way to make a living. Therefore, there are fruit trees on this mountain, but they keep bearing fruit. The fruits are small and astringent. The children in the village don't like to eat them when they climb up to pick them.

He continued, "Driving into town and having some experts come over and take a look."

Shao Kou said, "Just looking for someone to repair the air conditioner, I'm holding the little milk dog, let's vaccinate it."

Hey, what's this called, push your nose on your face.

"Did I let you have a dog?"

You are still under the eaves, and you dare to make decisions privately, you must be fat.

"Ancestor, grandpa, that dog is so pitiful. You believe in Buddhism. Doesn't Buddhism pay attention to the virtue of a good life? You are merciful, pitiful and pitiful?"

I keep a dog, fine, you keep a dog, absolutely not.

"Who is your grandpa, who is the oldest in this family?"

You chant, you are big everywhere.

"You, you are the biggest."

At this time, if you don't flatter, when will you wait?

"Then who is the second child?"

This question is rather acute.

Shao Kou tentatively said, "Is there a second child?"

How about it, I'm just a polished commander, right?

"There is also the third child."

?

"Oh, the youngest must be me, but who is the second? No, it's the dog, right?"

Facing his affirmative gaze, Shao Kou felt thunderous, wouldn't he make himself happy, wouldn't he?

What kind of dog do you have?Isn't this another ancestor in an instant?

"Hehe, um, the old man is very anxious when he sees that he lost a dog. I'll send it back after dinner in a while."

He stopped raising it, okay?

"You continue to make up."

Bian Mu took a sip of coffee, stared into his eyes and said.

The man on the opposite side put his arms flat on the corner of the table, still looking simple and honest, he hesitated back to him, "Little boss, you don't know, raising a dog is very troublesome, shitting, peeing, hair loss, bacteria, there are so many things." , It’s still useless, I know how to call out in a day, and it’s unreliable at critical moments.”

What do you mean?

"It means that at the critical moment, I still have to rely on you."

I have such a big face, I have to rely on myself at all times, and I can't rely on others.

"Hey, for the sake of the little boss, I will definitely go up the mountain of knives, down the pan of oil, or spend a lap in the toilet pit."

Show loyalty, show loyalty, he is the best, he is the worst, and he must not be treated as a useless person by the small boss.

"Then, it's easy to take care of a little milk dog, isn't it?"

Bian Mu glanced at the fluffy thing he was holding in his hand, um, let me give you a name, um, "It's called, bastard, little bastard."

After finishing speaking, I couldn't help laughing, I'm so talented, isn't it.

Hey, Shao Kou can only sigh, that's all, for the sake of such a bastard name like you, let's cuddle up to each other in pity.

The weather outside was exceptionally warm, so I found a cloth bag, put the puppy on it, and drove to the city. The passenger seat was still a late-stage neuropathy patient. The two of them fought each other all the way to the veterinary hospital, and first gave it a body. After checking, it was confirmed that there was no problem, so I got two injections of vaccines, bought some commonly used medicines for preparation, and then turned around and went to the nearby pet supply store for a walk. The dog is still a puppy. The most ridiculous thing is that our little bastard is obviously a male, but he threw in a bunch of pigtailed holsters and small head clips. They are pink and tender. How about you dress up as a little girl?

Put the things in the trunk, and find the Agricultural Science and Technology Research Institute according to the navigation, which specializes in forest tree planting. There is an old professor inside, who is a close friend with Bian Mu's grandfather. Seeing him at this moment, he was obviously excited and patted him on the shoulder. , praised repeatedly, "As expected of a child from Laoyuan's family, he just has aura, follow your grandpa's aura, sit, come, drink tea."

He personally poured two cups of tea and handed them over. Bian Mu bowed his head and took them respectfully. Shao Kou sat on the other side with his back straight.

"Grandpa Zhang, my grandfather has always been talking about his hometown, saying that the mountains are beautiful and the water is beautiful, especially the orange trees on the mountain. Can you help me find out what the soil is like?"

Shao Kou was only a good student on the sidelines, listening carefully, and obediently taking notes in his heart. In fact, after a while, he lost his mind. Clear, soft and boneless in his hand, he brought it to his lips, opened his mouth to take a sip, followed the roll of Adam's apple, swallowed, dodged, looked down at the green soup in the teacup, there was no trace of impurities, The white porcelain became more and more expensive, his throat was suddenly thirsty, and he really wanted to take a sip, but he didn't know if it was the slight bitterness or the sweet aftertaste.

Bian Mu looked at the salivating idiot in front of him, and almost jumped up, you fool, I have to make you chew a few catties of tea when you go back, to make you greedy.

Sure enough, as soon as Shao Kou went out, he met with his poisonous words, and he didn't know how to offend this little ancestor again.

"Go back to the village, you are hungry."

What the hell?

He said again, "Hurry up, there are poisonous mushrooms growing."

What the hell?

Shao Kou was in a daze all the way, and he didn't dare to reply a word, he was afraid that if he was unhappy, he would strangle the cloth pocket on his hand and let that little bastard die.

Two men, one dog, both of the same virtue, they both like to pee on their own territory, after each solves it, Shao Kou warms some milk for the little bastard before washing his hands and cooking. Little painter, eat and sleep quickly.

I chopped some live meat on the bone, cut a sausage, cracked an egg, tore apart the bagged beef ribs, put a piece of fried rice in the pot, mixed some lotus root with vinegar, and marinated the last one with minced garlic Put some chili oil on the chicken feet. He saw that the little painter was happy to eat them, so he picked them up again. This is what he learned on the Internet. Take them all out, use minced garlic, salt, chili oil, and various seasonings, put them in the refrigerator, and feel that the taste is very good.

Bian Mu went upstairs to change his clothes, returning to his usual cool and high-quality style. He was dressed in cotton and linen, a dark green cardigan, and his hair was still dripping with water. Shao Kou couldn't see it, so he beckoned him over, " Sit down and I'll blow dry you."

The author has something to say: Shao Kou: Without common sense, sleeping with wet hair is prone to migraines.

Bian Mu: The blower is not good either, it is best to let him do it himself.

Shao Kou: Come here.

Bian Mu: I know, you want to take advantage of me again.

Shao Kou: No, don’t make me think so dirty.

Bian Mu: Then you are so considerate?

Shao Kou spread his hands: Ancestor, do you know that you are difficult to serve.

?

Border Shepherd:?

Shao Kou: But I just like to serve you, what do you think?
