Upon hearing what Gu Xiangbei said, Gu Jinhua hurriedly protected Jiang Xiaoqiao and several children and stepped back to make room for Gu Xiangbei to work.
Gu Xiangbei looked at his mother's quick and decisive movements, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he resigned himself to opening the back door of the car, taking the pigs down one by one and putting them into the pigpen.
There were two pots of fresh pig grass in the pigpen. Gu Pingyang and his friends had cut it on the mountain in the afternoon just to welcome the two precious pigs at home.
When Gu Weimin and Gu Xiangdong rushed back, the pigs were already busy eating grass in the pigpen, and Gu Jinhua and the others were all watching in front of the pigpen.
Gu Jinhua was still talking to Jiang Xiaoqiao, Gu Xiangbei and the others, "I don't know if this pigpen is safe. I'm a little worried about keeping the pigs alone outside like this."
Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "Mom, don't worry. We can hear everything going on in the pigpen clearly at home. Nothing will happen."
She will put a small stone-like monitor in the pigpen soon. If anyone dares to have any ideas about their pigs, she will definitely catch them.
Gu Weiguo also came over slowly with his hands behind his back. When he looked into the pigpen, the old man frowned.
"Why do these two pigs look so thin? One of them even looks sickly."
Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "Uncle, these two pigs are fine. After a couple of days, they'll get used to the environment and start growing bigger."
If you feed a pig, it will of course gain some weight. Otherwise it would be a thankless task.
Gu Weiguo looked at Jiang Xiaoqiao and Gu Xiangbei with an expression that said young people are inexperienced. Jiang Xiaoqiao pursed her lips, determined not to let the captain look down on her.
She said, "Uncle, the sickly sow you're talking about isn't sick, it's pregnant. She's not living well at the farm machinery station, so she looks sickly."
"Once it gets used to living at home, I'm sure it will be healthy and plump."
"Pregnant???"
“I’m having a cub!!!”
The first voice, filled with doubt and disbelief, came from Gu Weiguo, while the second voice was filled with surprise from the Gu family.
Gu Jinhua groaned, slapped her thigh, and said excitedly, "Oh my! I was saying that Xiao Qiao's marriage to our family was a blessing from our ancestors! Even when we went to pick a pig, we picked a sow that was about to give birth!"
The corners of Gu Weiguo's mouth twitched. No, you believe it now?
Then, he heard his honest second brother Gu Weimin grinning from ear to ear, saying, "That's right, Xiao Qiao is really amazing. He can actually tell if a sow is pregnant!"
Gu Xiangdong and He Zhaodi looked at the sow in front of them with shining eyes. Oh my god, it’s carrying piglets. Isn’t this buy one get many free!
What a great thing!!
Gu Xiangbei nodded and said, "Xiao Qiao is very smart. I'm not very picky."
Gu Pingyang and others began to flatter Jiang Xiaoqiao, saying that Fourth Aunt/Mom was the most powerful and the smartest.
Even the usually quiet Gu Zhen praised her, and Gu Yuting also whispered, "Mom is awesome."
Although he heard Gu Xiangbei say yesterday that the child was willing to speak, Gu Weiguo was still surprised.
But then, the corners of Gu Weiguo's mouth began to twitch violently. He looked at Gu Weimin and his group. No, what was wrong with the second brother's family? They believed everything Xiao Jiang said?
My second brother's wife is still thinking about whether to expand the pigpen...
Gu Weiguo coughed and finally shook his head.
He finally understood that the second brother's family was all flattered by Jiang Xiaoqiao. They all believed what Xiao Jiang said.
If Gu Weimin and the others knew what Gu Weiguo was thinking, they would definitely respond loudly.
Yes! That’s right! They definitely believe Xiao Qiao/my brother’s wife/my wife/Aunt Si/Mom!
She is so amazing. Such an amazing person said that there are piglets in the sow's belly, and it must be true.
On the spot, Gu Pingyang and several other cubs started discussing that they would go to the mountain to cut more grass for pigs tomorrow and feed more to the sows.
Gu Zhen also said that he would go up the mountain to help cut grass for the pigs. He is in much better health now, and perhaps he will get better faster if he works more.
Gu Weiguo didn't know how he followed Gu Weimin and his family into the yard. After having dinner, Gu Weiguo left.
Gu Weiguo was skeptical about whether the sow Jiang Xiaoqiao and his friend brought back was pregnant with piglets.
The members of the Qingshan Brigade who rushed over to see the pigs were also very unconvinced.
At first, the team members laughed when they saw the Gu children going up the mountain every day to cut several baskets of pig grass. They even jokingly asked if the sows at home had grown in size or had given birth.
Until one day, Zhu Hansan, who was responsible for slaughtering the New Year pig in the brigade every year, passed by Gu Weimin's pigpen. He looked at the sow with a belly as big as a drum and sighed.
After that, everyone in the team knew that the sow that Jiang Xiaoqiao and his friend brought back was really pregnant.
One day, Jiang Xiaoqiao heard some movement in the pigpen. She went out to see that the sow was about to give birth.
The sow groaned in discomfort, while the boar next to her was still eating grass calmly.
Ever since Jiang Xiaoqiao instructed Gu Xiangbei to castrate this boar, he has neither thought of escaping nor made a sound every day. He is very calm and just eats and sleeps, and then eats and sleeps.
He Zhaodi and Gu Jinhua stood behind Jiang Xiaoqiao nervously, whispering, "Xiaoqiao, this old pig is humming, is she about to give birth?"
"Well, mother, I'll go in and take a look. If it can't give birth, I'll help it."
"Xiao Qiao, do we need to ask Mr. Zhou to come?" He Zhaodi asked.
Yes, Mr. Zhou is not only the old doctor in this area, but also the veterinarian in this area.
If there is any problem with cows, pigs, or donkeys, you can always find him.
Jiang Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, don't bother Mr. Zhou, I can deliver the baby."
"Okay, then, is there anything I can do to help?"
He Zhaodi came back to cook mung bean soup with Gu Jinhua, and then brought it to Gu Weimin and Gu Xiangdong who were working in the fields.
But now, the pig is about to give birth, which is more important, so I’ll cook the mung bean soup later.
"And me." Gu Jinhua said without thinking. There was no trace of mung bean soup in her mind at the moment.
Jiang Xiaoqiao said, "Mom, please help me find some hay. Sister-in-law, you're stronger than Mom, come in and see if you need help holding down this pig."
"good."
"good."
Gu Jinhua and He Zhaodi all obeyed Jiang Xiaoqiao's instructions. The sow kept grunting and gave birth to three piglets under Jiang Xiaoqiao's massage technique.
After giving birth to three piglets, the sow was still howling.
The boar next to them had moved to the corner to eat grass. Jiang Xiaoqiao took out a silver needle and gave the sow three injections.
It was the first time for He Zhaodi and Gu Jinhua to see this animal being able to give acupuncture.
