After leaving the hotel, Zhang Taiping said goodbye to Yang Wanli. It seemed that there was no need to stay out tonight and he could go back now. After exchanging phone numbers with Zhou Sheng, he rode his bicycle and merged into the traffic. This unpleasant thing happened today

, Yang Wanli didn't try to stay. Zhou Sheng looked at Zhang Taiping's arrogant and domineering Harley Rider, and his eyes lit up again. This car is not simple. It seems that Zhang Taiping also needs to have a relationship.

As soon as Zhang Taiping's car got on the Huanshan Road, he heard someone calling his name from behind, the voices of Zhao Xiaoshu and Zhao Qingsi. He was surprised that these two people also came out, so he stopped on the roadside and waited.

The two men's motorcycles also stopped next to Zhang Taiping. Zhao Xiaoshu took off his helmet and said: "I thought you were a weakling who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. I didn't expect you to be so fierce and lift a person up with one hand.

"

Zhang Taiping smiled and ignored her, but asked Zhao Qingsi: "Why did you come out too? Aren't you going to sing?"

Zhao Qingsi wiped the black hair on her cheeks and said, "They are just a bunch of boring people. It's just that you have changed a lot from before. I thought you would just go up and beat him up, but I didn't expect you to be able to endure it for such a long time."

"There must have been changes over the years, haven't you changed too?" Zhang Taiping waved back, not wanting to get entangled in this matter.

Zhao Xiaoshu saw that no one paid attention to him when they were talking, so he put on his helmet again and said, "Let's go."

Zhao Qingsi shook his head, put on his helmet and started the motorcycle. The car was not going very fast when he went back, and it was already night when he got home.

Hearing the beeping sound of a motorcycle, Cai Xiaomei poked her head out of the room and saw Zhang Taiping. She asked in surprise: "Didn't you say you wouldn't come back? Why did you come back?"

"I attended a middle school reunion and came back early because I felt bored." Zhang Taiping said while pushing the car into the house.

"Oh." Cai Xiaomei took the lantern handed over by Zhang Taiping and took it back to the house. After a while, Yaya ran out with the small lantern. Zhang Taiping warned: "Play for a while and come back." Yaya ran away and responded.

With a cry, Zhang Taiping worriedly shouted to Ah Huang to follow him. It would be much safer with Ah Huang protecting him.

Zhang Taiping went into the house, took out the two light bulbs he bought, installed them in two big red lanterns, and hung them on the door on the left and right. After the power was turned on, the yard was immediately enveloped in a hazy red light, adding a festive atmosphere.

Yaya was quite obedient and sensible, and came back after a while, followed by a few friends carrying red lanterns with candles. Some of them were swinging their lanterns and bumping against each other as they walked to see whose lantern hit the inside.

The candle will not go out.

A group of friends came to Zhang Taiping's house just to watch TV. They entered the house and blew out the candles in the lanterns. They all sat neatly in the middle of the room with stools and started watching TV together.

Zhang Taiping asked Yaya to give each of the children a piece of the twist he bought during the day, and asked them to sit in the front room and watch TV while he walked towards the backyard. Through the middle courtyard, you could hear bursts of music in the backyard.

Sheep braying.

As the saying goes: rabbits take one year, cats take two, dogs take three, pigs take four, sheep take five, cows take ten, horses take eleven, and donkeys take one year. A sheep takes five months to give birth. The difference is only two or three days. Calculate the time.

The ewe at home was due to give birth in these two days. It was fine during the day. In the evening, the ewe that had been in the pen began to call non-stop. Zhang Taiping's relay people knew that it was about to give birth, so they were all here at this time.

Inside the sheepfold.

The old man was also squatting next to him. With him here, there was no need to hire a midwife. After practicing medicine for so many years, he had seen all kinds of situations. Prescribing a goat midwife was not something he could easily do.

The ewe in Zhang Taiping's family is a goat. She is still young and does not have the distinctive beard of a goat at the bottom. This is also her first ewe. Now she is lying on the ground, bleating in pain and fear.

The old man said to Cai Yazhi next to him: "Bring a basin of hot water, a pair of scissors and a bottle of soju just in case."

Cai Yazhi didn't dare to neglect and quickly prepared all the things she needed. Fan Ming had a good eye and brought the old man a bench to let him rest first.

For a moment, the women in the sheepfold didn't even dare to breathe. They all stared at the struggling goats lying on the ground. Only painful bleating sounds echoed in the sheepfold.

Fan Ming first couldn't stand the dull atmosphere and asked the old man whose expression remained unchanged: "Grandpa Zhang, how many lambs do you think this goat can give birth to?"

The old man took a look at the ewe's round belly and said: "On average goats, most of them have two, and some even have one, but judging from the body shape of this goat, there are probably three."

"Three, so many, the ewe is really powerful." Fan Ming stuck out his tongue and said.

The old man shook his head and said nothing. The larger the mammal, the weaker its reproductive ability, but the smaller the body, the stronger its reproductive ability. If she heard that a dog can have up to seven or eight children in a litter, and a pig can have up to seven or eight litters.

If you can give birth to more than a dozen babies, why should you die of surprise?

The ewe screamed in pain on the ground, but the other people were fine with it. Cai Yazhi was a person who had given birth. She could personally experience the great pain of giving birth to a mother. Some people say that a child's birthday is the mother's day of suffering. This is true.

It's all true. Now I'm watching the ewe giving birth to a baby, howling in pain, and my heart is full of unbearable.

Just when everyone was nervous, the old man suddenly sat up straight. He saw the body of the ewe squirming, and the head of a lamb finally came out. Several women held their breath and did not dare to breathe loudly. It seemed that

A louder sound can scare the baby sheep into silence.

The neighing of the ewe made people feel even more distressed. A few minutes later, the first lamb was finally born, but it didn't look like the pure white wool that people imagined, and it was cute and cute. Instead, it shrank into a small one.

My body was wet and ugly.

The old man picked up the lamb from the ewe and put it next to the fire. A few days ago, Cai Yazhi had put a stove in the sheepfold to heat the ewe. Tonight, the old man let it burn next to it after giving birth tonight.

There was a fire. Fortunately it wasn't in the snow, otherwise it would have been more difficult.

The old man took a rag and wiped the dirt off the lamb, then placed it next to the fire to bake. This little newborn had just left its mother's body, and its own metabolism was not enough to replenish the energy needed to maintain its temperature.

, can only be placed in a warm place

To keep the body from getting cold. In fact, under natural conditions, the lamb will hide under the ewe's body and be covered by the ewe's body to keep warm. However, when the ewe is in pain, it is easy to be crushed if she moves her body.

A little lamb whose life is still very fragile.

After giving birth to this one, the ewe seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and she took a break and lay on the ground panting, trying to accumulate the strength needed to give birth to a lamb.

Fan Ming looked at the small ball of lamb next to the fire, wrinkled his nose and said, "It's so ugly." Although he said it was ugly, he poked the lamb with his hand without feeling dirty.

The old man smiled and said: "It's been like this since I was born. It will be better after a few days when it opens up a little and I clean it again."

After resting for a while and gathering enough strength, the ewe began to howl again, and everyone understood that she was about to give birth to her second one.

This time, the experience with the first lamb was indeed much faster, and the pain seemed to be relieved a lot. It didn’t take long to see the second lamb come out head first. This one went more smoothly, and all came out in a short time.

, the old man picked it up and wiped it clean, ran with the first one and put it next to the fire to bake.

After giving birth to the second calf, the ewe rested for a while and started bleating for the third time.

Fan Ming clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Grandpa Zhang's guess is correct. This ewe is indeed going to give birth to three lambs."

Cai Xiaomei glanced at her and wondered why this woman was so excited. She just gave birth to an extra lamb, and it had nothing to do with her. Is it necessary to be so excited? Cai Xiaomei lives in the countryside, and this kind of thing is common.

, of course there is nothing surprising, but Fan Ming is not, she is full of curiosity about everything.

But as time went by, everyone's relaxed mood was gripped again. The ewe had been howling for a long time, longer than the first one, but there was no sign of the third lamb yet.

.

The old man's face gradually became serious. There was still something wrong with the third sheep. Problems are most likely to occur when there are more babies. The women next to them also clenched their fists nervously, as if this could help the ewe on the ground.

It seemed like she was working hard. But this was the ewe’s own business, and no one could help her. She could only worry about it.

The ewe suffered so much that the third lamb finally showed its shadow.

Fan Ming shouted in surprise: "It's out, it's out. Now the ewe finally doesn't have to suffer like that." Cai Xiaomei and Cai Yazhi both breathed a sigh of relief and looked like they thought the same thing. But the old man's face did not relax.

It should be because what came out this time was not a sheep's head but a sheep's hoof. This means that the position of the lamb inside is irregular and makes it more difficult to come out.

Sure enough, the ewe was not relaxed, but seemed to be in more pain. The girls who had just relaxed were anxious again. Cai Xiaomei couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, what's going on?"

The old man didn't look back and said: "Normally, the head comes out first, but now the hooves come out first, which means there is something wrong with the position inside, making it more difficult to come out. If it stays inside for a long time, it may suffocate the little lamb.

, even if you are born in the end, you may not be alive."

Fan Ming opened his mouth with a loud sound and said hurriedly: "Grandpa Zhang, please pull it out quickly."

The old man shook his head in confusion.

Zhang Taiping explained: "The body of a newborn is very fragile, and it may be injured with just a little force. Even if it is not dead, it will be disabled when it comes out."

Fan Ming blushed and lowered her head and stopped talking.
