Zhang Guocai had just closed the door of the utility room when he heard the crackling sound of eggshells breaking under Goudan's belly.
Then one after another, the slimy chicks crawled out of the eggshells.
The chicks hatched earlier have grown fine down and can now eat and move around on their own, without any need for Goudan's care.
Who knew that just as Goudan breathed a sigh of relief, more than 20 "puppies" were hatched.
Looking at the "puppies" breaking out of the shells one after another, Goudan's face was filled with surprise and joy.
It rushed out of the utility room quickly and came to its owner's door, barking.
"Woof woof woof, woof woof woof, master, master, I have hatched more puppies, lots and lots of puppies, come and have a look!"
Jiang Li was still feeding the child, but she didn't want to neglect Goudan.
"Wait a moment, Goudan. I'll be right here after I finish feeding the baby."
Goudan felt a little disappointed because his owner didn't come over immediately.
But it also knew that it was very hard for its owner to take care of the baby, so it whimpered softly twice and went back to the utility room.
But when it saw that all the eggs had hatched into "puppies", its fatherly love suddenly overflowed.
Goudan didn’t know which “puppy” he favored, and a group of “puppies” that hadn’t even opened their eyes came to him, chirping.
Goudan could only lie on the ground with his front legs spread out, and instantly hugged the group of "puppies" in his arms.
Goudan licked the mucus off their bodies one by one.
I was wondering why these "puppies" smell like liquid eggs?
This smell is really good. Goudan licked his lips again and felt that the sweet and fragrant taste was delicious in his mouth.
When Goudan came to his senses, he already had a "puppy" in his mouth, and he almost couldn't control himself and ate the "puppy" he had hatched.
"What's wrong with me? Why would I want to eat my own child?"
Goudan was filled with guilt, but he cheered himself up and continued to lick the mucus off the "puppies" until they were all clean and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Goudan took a closer look and found that the newborn "puppies" all had fine hairs on their bodies, but these hairs were tightly attached to the exposed skin and could not be seen without careful observation.
When Jiang Li finished feeding the children, she came over and saw more than 20 chicks densely surrounding Goudan.
These chicks were just born and were very small. They were skinny and their eyes were not even open.
They helplessly snuggled up to Goudan for warmth, and Goudan really became their mother.
"Goudan, I'm here. Congratulations on hatching so many babies."
Jiang Li was considering whether to tell Goudan the real situation: what it hatched were chicks, not puppies.
But when it saw the kindness in the little Goudan's eyes, Jiang Li was speechless.
Animals also have feelings. As the chicks incubated over this period of time, Goudan also developed feelings for his chicks.
Jiang Li is having a headache now. If she plans to eat some chicken one day, will Goudan chase her and bite her if he finds out?
The furry kid is so naive. I would not have lied to him if I had known this earlier.
Jiang Li is now in a difficult situation and can only make the best of it.
Goudan looked at Jiang Li proudly and began to boast: "Master, I'm awesome, right? You can only raise two puppies by yourself, but I can raise 30!"
These "puppies" were so small and easy to raise that even Goudan himself was surprised.
It had lived alone in space for who knows how many years. It was so lonely at that time.
Until the owner took it out of the space, it was accompanied by so many family members and so many "puppies".
Although raising them is very hard work, Goudan still enjoys it.
"You're still the best, and your babies are all very well behaved. They're much easier to raise than mine!"
Jiang Li realized that she hadn't spent time with Goudan for a long time, so she took some time out today to chat with him for half an hour.
Little Goudan is a chatterbox, barking non-stop at her.
Finally, Goudan said embarrassedly: "Master, I almost ate a puppy just now. I don't know what happened."
"Maybe they were so cute that you wanted to hold them in your mouth and love them. Or maybe you weren't full, so you almost ate your own babies."
Jiang Li didn't have the heart to tell it that it was a dog's instinct to eat chicken.
Even if Goudan really ate a few chickens, Jiang Li would not blame him.
At most, when you see it blaming itself, tell it the truth, and maybe Goudan will feel better.
"Then the master must prepare more food for me. I need to fill my stomach every day so that I won't be so hungry that I want to eat my own children."
Seeing Goudan with a look of self-blame on his face, Jiang Li reached out and rubbed his furry little head.
"Okay, okay, don't be sad. I know you don't mean any harm. I'm telling you quietly, my two babies are so white and tender and so cute that sometimes I can't help but bite them."
Jiang Li did do this, but he bit very lightly and didn't even leave any teeth marks.
But these sweet and soft babies are really sweeter than any delicacy.
"Really? So the master would do the same thing! Then I feel relieved!"
After Jiang Li's guidance, Goudan finally put his worries aside and immersed himself in the joy of having a new child again.
The next morning, Shen Changan did not go to school. He went to the state-owned snack shop in town and ate a bowl of noodles, two buns and a bowl of soy milk.
After eating and drinking enough, Shen Changan started on the road.
Transportation was not well developed in the 1970s, and people could rely on trains to get around.
If you go to some remote areas, you can only walk or ride a bicycle.
This time, Shen Changan was going to Baihua Town, which was adjacent to Baiyun Town.
They are said to be adjacent towns, but there are countless villages between them.
If he had to walk there, Shen Changan would probably have to walk for a day and a night.
He only took one day off and didn't have much time to waste walking.
Shen Changan chose to take a coal truck. Baihua Town is a famous coal mining city with rich coal resources. There are many coal trucks coming and going.
Some empty coal trucks occasionally pass by the national highway here, and this is the opportunity that Shen Changan wants to seize.
However, he did not just wait, but contacted a car in advance through his connections, and the car would arrive on time around 8 o'clock in the morning.
Shen Changan bought some food and bottled water in his bag and arrived at the agreed location at 7:50.
He raised his wrist to look at his watch from time to time. Time passed by minute by minute. Shen Changan waited until 8:10 before a coal truck stopped beside him.
The driver of the car opened the driver's door and apologized to him repeatedly: "I'm really sorry, there was a problem on the road, and the car was repaired before it was restarted, so I was a little late."
