Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Technology Failure

Fortunately, the pet store has not closed down yet.

He Junxia spent 20 yuan to buy two boxes of canned dog food and several bags of dog food. The store owner was so excited that he was incoherent and his attitude was so enthusiastic that he almost wanted to deliver the things to Hejia Village personally.

There was no way around it. Ever since the special magnetic field caused technology to fail, communications, transportation and other aspects were severely impacted, people's living standards plummeted, and the pet shop business also plummeted.

At this time, people may not be able to eat enough, let alone buy cat food and dog food. You are a good owner if you don’t abandon your pet.

The shop owner was glad for the two puppies in He Junxia's home. They had met a generous and wealthy owner.

After leaving the pet shop, He Junxia went to the vegetable market and spent eight yuan to buy a fish weighing more than two kilograms, preparing to take it home to make soup.

We don't need chickens and ducks. After a while, when the chicken farm in the village is on track, Hejia Village will be self-sufficient in eggs and chicken.

The price is definitely cheaper than in the county.

He Junxia put the fish killed by the stall owner into the back of the tricycle. When passing by a butcher shop, he found that the price of pork had increased by another fifty cents. He couldn't help but click his tongue. Is there anyone who can still afford to eat pork now?

His monthly salary was not even enough to buy eight kilograms of pork.

He Junxia shook his head and hurried away from the market. At the intersection, he found He Gen and He Qiangmin, who were carrying their belongings, and they returned to the village together.

There have been frequent thefts and robberies in the county recently. A few days ago, a person was killed. Because there was no surveillance and no witnesses, the murderer has not been caught yet. This has caused panic among the people. The villagers come to the county in groups to buy things.

For this reason, He Junxia also hid a sharp pig-killing knife in the tricycle just in case.

After all, a long section of the road from the county town to Hejia Village is a deserted suburban road with no village in front and no shop behind. If someone has bad intentions and robs people on the road, they may not be discovered even if they die for ten or eight years.

He Junxia sighed softly.

Without the deterrent effect of surveillance, all kinds of evil spirits emerged.

He Qiangmin looked at the cardboard boxes in the tricycle and asked curiously, "Xiao Xia, what did you buy? Why so much? Oh, there's even dog food."

He Qiangmin is He Qiangguo's younger brother, and He Junxia's third uncle.

He Juanxia smiled and said, "It was thanks to Zhima and Tangyuan's reminder that Xiaoqiu and He Ling realized the wild boar was rushing towards them. Otherwise, the situation would have been dangerous. I thought of buying some dog food as a reward."

He Junxia deliberately did not answer He Qiangmin's first question.

Most people in the village only care about cats and dogs by giving them some leftovers so they don't starve to death. If he said he bought a few boxes of canned dog food, people would inevitably wonder how rich his family is and how they treat dogs so well.

The first bird to stick its head out gets shot.

He Junxia didn't want to be seen as unique in everyone's mind, nor did she have the ability to change people's deeply rooted ideas, so she could only hide her true thoughts.

He changed the subject and said, "By the way, Uncle San, what did you buy? I see the price of pork in the county has gone up again, and fish is five yuan a pound. It's too expensive."

He Qiangguo really didn't care about the previous question. He couldn't help but complain: "Three yuan for an apple, it's a rip-off. If Dongdong and Tiantian hadn't been clamoring for it, I wouldn't have bought it."

He Gen pointed at the milk powder in the back of the car and said with a sad face: "This is real robbery. Two cans cost me half a month's salary. Fortunately, my wife and I both have jobs, otherwise how can we afford it?"

The three of them shook their heads and sighed.

Times are tough and life is not easy.

Several people hurried back to Hejia Village. Zeng Xiuping was waiting at the entrance of the village. He smiled only when he saw them return safely.

Zeng Xiuping took out the key and opened the iron gate. Zhima and Tangyuan were lying lazily on the ground with their bellies turned up, basking in the sun.

The two puppies heard the noise and jumped up, wagging their tails enthusiastically and circling around the tricycle.

"Go! Go! Go."

He Junxia waved the two puppies away to prevent them from being accidentally injured by the moving tricycle.

Sesame Glutinous Rice Balls: OvO

The enthusiastic puppy was completely unaware of the humans' concerns and excitedly jumped onto He Junxia. If he couldn't jump on her, he would stand up and kick his hind legs to put his front legs on top.

He Junxia: ...

He Junxia picked up a pair of slippers drying in the corner and pretended to hit them. When Zhima and Tangyuan saw his action, they immediately ran away with their tails between their legs.

Cowardly

He Junxia snorted, took off his slippers, parked the tricycle in the corner of the yard, and handed a gutted grass carp to Zeng Xiuping.

He Junxia picked up the dog food and canned food from the tricycle and put them into the locker. Zhima and Tangyuan immediately followed him and nudged his feet with their heads, wagging their tails and slapping his calves.

He Junxia: "Sit down."

Zhima and Tangyuan sat down immediately, staring at him obediently with their big round eyes, their eyes revealing their desire for the canned food.

When they were young, they could often get delicious food by using this trick.

He Junxia: ...

He Junxia silently looked away.

Ahem, that's right, local dogs have the characteristic of growing up with burning looks, and sesame and glutinous rice balls are just in the awkward period of growth, so they look a bit ugly.

He Junxia opened a 1.8kg bag of dog food, grabbed two handfuls with his hands, and placed them in two food bowls respectively.

Sesame and glutinous rice balls were drooling eagerly.

He Junxia held his forehead and said, "Eat."

After receiving the order, the two puppies immediately buried their heads in the food bowl at lightning speed, and soon licked the small iron bowl until it was shiny.

He Junxia: ...

He Junxia pondered, it seemed that there were no hungry dogs in his family, or was it that the dog food was too attractive?

He Junxia only fed the two dogs pure dog food for a period of time when they were young. When they grew up a little, he began to feed them a mixture of leftovers, eggs, chicken, etc. with dog food.

It’s not that he’s reluctant to buy dog ​​food.

But it’s hard to say what will happen in the future. If the special magnetic field does not disappear or the country fails to find a solution, there will be fewer and fewer human technological creations on the market.

He can't let the dog get into the habit of eating only dog ​​food.

Moreover, he keeps dogs not because he likes dogs, but as pets. He wants to train them to be guard dogs and want both dogs to have blood.

Pets are pets, and guard dogs are guard dogs.

To put it cruelly, if the two dogs could not meet He Junxia's training requirements, even if the He family were kind-hearted, they would definitely not be able to live the good life they are living now.

——When people can’t even eat meat, let alone eat meat or drink soup, dogs in rural areas are not caught and killed for food because of their kind-hearted owners.

He Junxia opened the cardboard box, took out two cans of meat, shook them in front of Zhima and Tangyuan, and started today's dog training.

…

In the afternoon, the four members of the He family had a delicious fish hotpot. The two puppies who successfully completed their training tasks also received an extra reward - two bowls of boiled fish soup with carefully shaved white fish meat in the soup.

This was specially made by Zeng Xiuping.

Ever since she learned that the two puppies had braved danger to protect He Junqiu, she has become interested in Zhima and Tangyuan. She no longer regards them as her son's pets, but as members of the family.

He Junxia played with the two puppies for a while, and time unknowingly came to night. Today it was his and He Chengcai's turn to guard the fields.

Wild boars have an astonishing appetite, incredible destructive power, and are particularly vindictive.

So even if an adult wild boar has been killed, they still have to guard the fields at night to prevent wild boars from causing damage before another adult wild boar is killed.

Fortunately, there are not many people scheduled each time. On average, each person only has a turn once a week, and they can rest for half a day the next morning, so it is not too tiring.

"Sesame, come here."

He Junxia and He Chengcai took Zhima out with them, while Tangyuan stayed behind to look after the house.

A dog's sense of smell is a thousand times more sensitive than a human's, so if a wild boar appears, Sesame will make a noise to alert everyone. Last time, it was his barking that woke the drowsy crowd, prompting them to work together to drive away the wild boar that was scavenging in the fields.

Captain Wu looked at Zhima with envy and asked persistently, "Xiao Xia, if you really don't want to sell it, why don't you think about it again? You already have two at home anyway."

He Junxia laughed and said, "Oh, Uncle Wu, this is really not possible. If you sell Xiaoqiu out, she'll definitely make trouble with us."

"She treats Zhima and Tangyuan like her treasures now. She treats the dogs better than us. She's not happy when I bring Zhima out to guard the fields. She feels bad for him."

He Junxia silently said sorry in her heart to He Junqiu, who she had used as an excuse.

In order to train Zhima and Tangyuan to be good and brave guard dogs, he spent countless thoughts and time. Now that he was about to succeed, he couldn't let others take advantage of him.

I won’t sell it even if you pay me.
