After the little wild donkey finished eating half a basin of carrots, its belly was already bulging.

"Oh...ah..."

After greeting its sister-in-law, it lowered its head, picked up the enamel basin, wagged its little tail, and turned to leave.

By the time we left the market, the sun was already high in the sky.

Looking around, the little wild donkey spotted a roadside stall full of soda and excitedly went over to it.

"Big Donkey, what do you want to drink today? Orange soda? Sugar water? Or salt soda?"

"Oh...ah..."

The little wild donkey stared at the yellow bottle, drooling.

"Okay, one bottle of orange soda, three cents."

The male clerk first took out money from the cloth bag under the little wild donkey's neck, then opened the soda and poured it into the enamel basin.

The little wild donkey immediately lowered its head and began to drink voraciously.

After a while, it was completely satisfied and let out a long burp.

"I have two cents left, Big Donkey, would you like a sweet popsicle?"

The salesperson took a white popsicle from a wooden box covered with a quilt and waved it in front of the little wild donkey.

The little wild donkey's eyes lit up, and it immediately poked its head out and started crunching away.

Thus, the five cents earned after a week of hard work were all spent by the little wild donkey in one morning.

"Big Donkey, a bottle of orange soda and a popsicle, that's exactly five cents. Come back next time you have money."

As he spoke, the male clerk put the money into the drawer.

"Oh...ah..."

When the salesperson stopped giving him money, the little wild donkey finally realized what was happening.

It cried out in frustration, not forgetting to lick the sweet juice from its lips.

The little wild donkey picked up the basin from the ground, took two steps forward listlessly, and then couldn't help but look back.

"Big Donkey, come back when you have money."

The little wild donkey's two long ears drooped down. It had lost interest in strolling around and hurried towards the farm in the northwest.

Military region breeding farm.

The rows of breeding sheds were quite a sight, and the little wild donkey squeezed through the gate and went inside.

Carefully placing the enamel basin down, it barked at the house.

"Oh...ah..."

Inside the house, Lu Fangfang was calculating the egg production over the past few days when she heard the donkey braying. She put down her pen and quickly went outside.

"You stubborn little donkey, have you taken Egg and Green to school?"

"Oh...ah..."

"Don't forget to pick them up again this afternoon."

"Oh...ah..."

Lu Fangfang smiled and patted the donkey's head, then took the military bag off its neck.

Seeing the vegetables inside, she nodded in satisfaction.

She casually picked up a cucumber, washed it, broke off the part with the stem, and tossed it to the little wild donkey. She then ate the rest herself.

The little wild donkey accepted everything offered and chewed it heartily.

"You stubborn little donkey, do you still have any money in your bag? I'll save it for you."

Lu Fangfang reached into her bag and felt around, but found nothing.

She looked up at the little wild donkey's belly and immediately understood.

"You big idiot, did you spend all your money again this morning? I told you not to eat random things, but you wouldn't listen!"

"Oh...ah..."

The little wild donkey brayed listlessly.

It let out a burp, then went to the haystack under the shed, lay down in a comfortable spot, and fell asleep.

"You lazy bum, you really know how to enjoy life."

Lu Fangfang went over and examined the wound on its head. Seeing that it had already begun to scab over, she went back into the house reassured.

Now that the farm's egg production is increasing and the military region can't consume them all, she plans to supply the remaining quail eggs to the provincial capital so that the farm can earn some money and continue to expand its scale.

...

In the afternoon, the little wild donkey, who had been sleeping for more than two hours, woke up.

Looking into the house, it saw that Lu Fangfang was still busy. It wagged its tail and left the farm, heading to the wetland not far away.

There are vast grasslands here, with winding rivers and ponds in the middle, stretching as far as the eye can see.

The vast wetlands are also home to many birds.

The little wild donkey lowered its head and nibbled at some grass, then looked up again.

Seeing the big white goose leading a flock of geese wandering in the reeds, it excitedly called out.

"Oh...ah..."

"Giggle~"

Hearing the commotion, the big white goose led a flock of geese ashore and walked up to the little wild donkey.

The little wild donkey was extremely excited, sniffing here and there.

After a while, its eyes lit up and it walked up to a goose.

"Giggle~"

"Oh...ah..."

When the little wild donkey saw the goose lay an egg, it quickly went over, bit it open, and slowly licked it.

After a while, seeing the big white goose lead the flock away, it called out a few more times to the ducks in the distance.

Unfortunately, Big Gray and Little Gray ignored it completely, and the ducks in the pond were not familiar with the little wild donkey either.

The little wild donkey waited for a while, but seeing that the ducks weren't coming, it had no choice but to nibble on the grass listlessly.

It is not alone here; there are also domestic donkeys raised by villagers on the nearby grasslands.

After playing leisurely for more than two hours, it looked up at the sun in the sky, felt that it was about time, and turned around and ran to school.

It arrived just as school was letting out.

Egg and Green stood at the school gate, waving excitedly at it.

The little wild donkey ran up and brayed happily.

The two children didn't ride on the donkey's back; instead, they carried their schoolbags and hopped and skipped home with the little wild donkey.

"Donkey, did you spend all your money again today?"

"Oh...ah..."

"You've definitely been scammed. How about I save the money for you and we go buy some good food together on Saturday and Sunday?"

"Oh...ah..."

"Don't worry, Qingqing won't spend your money. Qingqing has her own pocket money, and I'll buy you nice things to eat later."

The little wild donkey looked back at Qingqing suspiciously, especially staring at Qingqing's little belly for a while.

After thinking for a moment, it excitedly grinned.

"Oh...ah..."

"Then it's a pinky promise, a hundred years from now, and it can't be broken."

The little wild donkey stretched out its head and bumped it with Qingqing before excitedly heading home again.

"Brother, you're coming with us too. By the way, you have to use your own pocket money, so you can't take advantage of me and Donkey."

"Oh...ah..."

The little wild donkey brayed in agreement.

"Okay, let's go together on Saturday. We'll have a bowl of fish roe soup first thing in the morning, then a bottle of soda and an ice cream, and then we'll go for a walk in the park..."

Hearing Egg's words, the little wild donkey started drooling again and quickly wiped it on Egg's clothes.

"Hey, you big bad donkey, you owe me my clothes."

"Oh...ah..."

"You big bad donkey, don't run away!"

"Oh...ah..."

As the sun set, the two men and the donkey chased each other into the military compound.
