Su Ling treasures the vegetables he grows very much. He squats in front of the vegetable patch to admire them. The puppy runs over curiously, finds the green tips in the soil, stretches out his paw to pat them, but Su Ling quickly picks him up.

"I can't let you kill me."

"Woof woof! Woo!"

The puppy struggled for a few times, but gave up when it couldn't get free. It was held in its owner's arms, rubbing its little head against Su Ling's shirt. Its paws, which had just stepped on the mud, left several marks on Su Ling's shirt.

Su Ling looked down and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Little thing, don't go into the backyard next time."

The house is covered with carpet, how can it withstand its muddy claws?

"Woof woof!" The little puppy didn't understand and wagged its tail happily. All four paws moved at the same time, leaving four or five more plum blossom prints on Su Ling's shirt.

Because the little guy was making trouble, Su Ling had to finish today's farm work early. He wiped the puppy's paws with a rag and let it play in the house.

The last time he went to town, he took the puppy to the pet hospital for a comprehensive checkup and vaccination, and then went to the pet store to buy a bunch of things. Now, there is a dog bowl and automatic water dispenser in the corner of the dining room wall, a soft and comfortable dog bed in the living room, and various toys.

The little guy played all morning and was probably tired now. He was held in Su Ling's arms and felt sleepy. Su Ling put him in the doghouse. He yawned and raised his head to fight against sleepiness. Su Ling stroked his little body soothingly and said softly, "Go to sleep. I'll be here with you."

I don't know if the little guy understood or not, because under Su Ling's gentle caress, he soon fell asleep, snoring. After a while, he turned over, with all four legs facing the sky, revealing his white and tender belly.

Su Ling took a small blanket and gently covered it with it. Seeing it sleeping soundly, her heart melted.

Since he had the little puppy, his life has become more and more colorful. Once his attention is distracted, he stops thinking about some things.

Sleepiness is contagious. Su Ling yawned lazily, closed the door, and went upstairs to take a nap.

The bedroom was replaced with a soft leather bed, and the original wooden bed was given to Aunt Zhang. The floor was covered with plush carpet, and a soft fabric sofa was placed by the window. There was a new wardrobe and some small ornaments, and the whole room was comfortable and warm.

Su Ling took off the shirt that was soiled by the puppy and threw it into the clothes basket in the bathroom, planning to take a shower before going to bed. After installing a bathroom heater and water heater in the bathroom, she was no longer afraid of the cold.

After taking a hot shower, Su Ling blow-dried her hair with a hair dryer, climbed onto the bed, turned on the air conditioner, covered herself with the newly bought silk quilt, rubbed the soft pillow, grabbed the huge teddy bear leaning against the head of the bed, hugged it in her arms, and closed her eyes in relaxation.

Su Ling slept until three in the afternoon. He heard the puppy barking downstairs in a daze. He scratched his naturally curly shoulder-length hair and got up yawning.

"Woo~Woof woof——" The little puppy kept barking at the bottom of the stairs. He raised his front legs and tried to climb the stairs, but his legs were too short to reach them, so he was running around in circles in a panic.

Su Ling changed into a loose set of clothes and came down from the stairs. Seeing the silly look of the little puppy, he couldn't help laughing.

"Woof woof woof!" When seeing its owner, the puppy wagged its tail happily.

Su Ling bent down and picked it up with one hand. "You're making noises right after you wake up. Can't you play with your toys by yourself?"

"Woof woof!" The puppy stuck out its tongue and licked his chin. Su Ling was tickled by it and backed away.

He came to the living room carrying the puppy, and the puppy suddenly jumped out of his arms and ran to the dining room. Su Ling followed and took a look, only to see the puppy squatting in front of the dog bowl, waiting for dinner.

Are you hungry again?

The little thing has such a good appetite, doesn’t it?

Su Ling took out dog food and goat milk powder from the kitchen cupboard, rinsed them with warm water and mixed them, then put them in the dog bowl. The puppy smelled the fragrance and couldn't wait to jump in and eat them.

Su Ling ground a cup of coffee for himself and took it to the pavilion overlooking the pond.

This waterside pavilion is about 80 square meters, with doors and windows around it. In summer, it can be opened for ventilation and coolness, and in spring, autumn and winter, it is usually closed to keep warm. Su Ling transformed it into a studio and lounge. There is a screen in the middle, and the lounge is covered with a layer of waterproof tatami, on which are placed a small tea table, soft cushions, small cabinets, etc. There is a long table in the studio, and pens, ink, paper, inkstone, easel, paint rack, display cabinet, etc. are all available.

Su Ling likes to drink coffee while sitting on the tatami. There is a small door next to it, through which one can directly view the clear pond where fat koi are swimming leisurely.

Li Dahai said that these koi had been raised for four or five years. The largest one was about one foot long, bright red, with fins and tail fluttering like gauze. When Su Ling saw it for the first time, he was instantly attracted by its beauty.

After drinking half a cup of coffee, he took out the fish bait and sprinkled it into the pond. Soon, twenty or thirty fish gathered around, opened their mouths and scrambled for the food. Suddenly, water splashed, and a big red koi jumped out, squeezing out the other fish and quickly grabbing the food.

"Still so domineering." Su Ling shook his head, threw the fish bait, clapped his hands, drank the rest of the coffee, stood up and walked towards the studio.

After arriving in the countryside, his inspiration was overflowing, and in just half a month, he had already painted two ink paintings.

One is a simple picture of spring ploughing, and the other is a landscape painting with mist and rain.

Su Ling had a natural talent for painting. When he was a freshman, his tutor recommended him to the traditional Chinese painting master Zhang Qianyi. Zhang Qianyi was already 78 years old and had long given up the idea of ​​accepting a disciple. But after seeing Su Ling's paintings, he accepted him as his disciple for the first time. The 18-year-old Su Ling became his last disciple.

Under the guidance of a famous teacher, Su Ling's Chinese painting skills improved by leaps and bounds, and his seven senior brothers all praised him highly. The senior brothers were older than him, and they were very surprised to see such a young junior brother, and they took good care of him.

Before getting married, Su Ling often attended his fellow art students' exhibitions. After getting married, he went less often. In the past year, he was trapped in love, his inspiration was exhausted, he was depressed, he couldn't paint, and he didn't even dare to see his teacher and fellow art students.

Now that my depression has dissipated and I feel cheerful, I can paint like a flying dragon as soon as I pick up my brush.

He finally had the confidence to go to the next sect gathering.

Su Ling spread the rice paper on the long table, added some water to the inkstone, and slowly ground the ink.

The puppy was full and smelling its owner's scent, it ran from the main house to the waterside pavilion, squatted at Su Ling's feet, and wagged its tail.

Su Ling rolled up his sleeves and said to it, "Behave yourself and don't make trouble."

"Woof!" I don't know if the little guy understood it, but he ran out. After a while, he had a toy in his mouth and was chewing on it in the corner of the studio.

Su Ling ignored it, picked up the brush and dipped it in ink.

Just as he was about to put pen to paper, the doorbell rang, so he had to put down his pen and go open the door.

The visitor was Village Chief Jin, who apologized to Su Ling for what happened in the village committee meeting today.

"...Li Yue'e is more educated than us, and your grandfather values ​​her attentiveness, so he gave her the job of supervisor. Although I heard people talking about her behind her back before, I never caught any evidence and the villagers didn't report it to me. I didn't expect that she would become even more aggressive and only care about making profits for her family. Not only is she derelict in her duty, but she is also corrupt! I have severely criticized and warned her and suspended her job." Village Chief Jin said angrily while sitting in the living room, slapping his thigh.

Su Ling made him a cup of tea and said calmly, "It's not your fault, village chief. Management is a science. Even a large company can have mistakes, not to mention village committee cadres who have not received systematic training. Director Li can manually record the attendance rate of more than 200 people for a long time and accurately, which shows that she is capable and responsible. In terms of work, she pays attention to every detail and is worthy of admiration."

Village Chief Jin picked up the tea, took a sip, shook his head and said, "No matter how good her work ability is, if her behavior is bad, I can't give her the job of supervisor anymore."

Su Ling asked: "Then - do you have any other candidates for the village chief now?"

Village Chief Jin sighed: "No, so I came to discuss it with you."

Su Ling thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Director Li will still be in charge of the supervision. I'll buy some electronic products from my friends and install them. That'll be all."

Village Chief Jin stroked his beard, looked at the young man sitting opposite him, and said thoughtfully: "Are the electronic products you mentioned reliable?"

Times are changing so fast. Every time I leave the village, I feel that the outside world is developing rapidly. For example, smart phones seem to have appeared overnight and everyone is using them.

Su Ling smiled and said, "It's absolutely reliable. My friend runs an electronic technology company. They can provide facial recognition registration, smart clock-in, surveillance cameras, etc."

Village Chief Jin frowned and said, "This must cost a lot of money, right?"

Su Ling said: "If I want to buy it, it must be at a friendly price."

It is not easy to set up a monitoring system on the mountain. He also has to build a monitoring room at the foot of the mountain. The whole set will cost millions.

Su Ling rubbed the edge of his teacup, calculating in his mind. It hadn't even been a month since he came to the countryside, and he hadn't made much money, but he had spent a lot.

Seeing that he had an idea, Village Chief Jin didn't say anything more and left in a hurry.

Li Yuet-e sat at home sighing, pointing at her brother's head and scolding him.

"If you had been more motivated, would I have done such a thing? Ah? Look at you, you are over 30 years old and have accomplished nothing. Others go to the city to work and earn money, but you not only lose money but also get into a fight and almost go to jail! When we arranged a job for you in the village, others can work a full eight hours, but you only work six hours? Calculate for yourself, how much less you earn? When I shamelessly processed for you, I could get away with it before, but now it's this young master from the city, and I can't fool him anymore. I lost face and my job. The village chief was so angry that he almost fired me as the director!"

Li Guo lowered his head and listened to his sister's rage in silence.

"That's enough, that's enough, Yue'e, stop talking." Her 70-year-old mother felt sorry for her son and spoke up to protect him.

"Mom!" Li Yue'e looked at her mother helplessly. If her mother hadn't spoiled her brother, how could he be so useless?

The old lady said, "I will go talk to Village Chief Jin and ask him to show some leniency. You can't lose your job as a supervisor."

Li Yue'e hurriedly stopped him: "I'll go and talk to them myself, mom, don't go!"

What if her mother went? There would be a big fuss, and the whole village would know about it. Of course, she couldn't give up her job as a supervisor. The monthly salary was 2,500 yuan, 30,000 yuan a year. How could she bear to give it up?

However, Su Ling had embarrassed her in public, and she felt somewhat resentful towards him.

The author has something to say: Su Ling: Who needs a husband when I can just hug a doll? Humph!

Rufeng: ...

Note: Regarding the millions of doubts that some people have about the surveillance system, I will give a unified reply here~

The area to be monitored needs to be determined. The area on the mountain is very large, and hundreds of cameras are needed to set up monitoring. (Cameras are divided into high-definition and ordinary ones. They have different prices depending on whether they use infrared rays and how far they can shoot. The more functions they have, the more expensive they are.)

Next is wiring. The price of the wires you choose varies, such as optical fiber, electrical cable, network cable, video cable, etc. (a mountain three or four hundred meters high requires a lot of wires, and wiring alone will cost a lot of money).

In addition, there are monitoring system fees, display screens, complete sets of distribution boxes, transportation fees, labor installation fees, etc., and a monitoring room will be built at the foot of the mountain for monitoring.

One million is a bargain. ^ ^

(PS: I will mention later that the equipment that Lin Zhou brought is also smart, and the workers use smart bracelets to clock in, etc. This one million is not something I wrote casually, cough.)
