Leisurely Life: I Have Ten Thousand Acres of Grassland-Chapter 86 - 84: Wangwang, Have More Pups and Wear Out the Rancher!
On the following morning, Jiang Feng was checking the health of the cattle.
After a night’s rest, several of the cattle were in better condition and had eaten quite a bit of fodder early in the morning.
Jiang Feng asked Niu Erhu to still take all the cattle out today.
Autumn is the season that cattle love the most.
Because the cattle have thick fur, they are not afraid of the cold, and with fewer mosquitoes in autumn, they feel cool and cheerful grazing on the prairie at this time.
After starting the live stream, Jiang Feng proceeded to inspect the situation on the ranch as usual.
At this moment, two people who looked like herders entered the ranch. Gelya, upon asking, learned they were looking for Jiang Feng and brought them to find him.
Herders are easy to recognize, wrapped up tightly, wearing hats; their clothes look dusty and travel-worn, with faces weathered and rugged—that’s a herder.
Tourists, on the other hand, generally look more glamorous.
"Master Jiang! Master Jiang!"
Upon seeing Jiang Feng, the two immediately called out.
Jiang Feng was in the pigpen looking at the pigs. He had just arranged for Zhu Huo to clean the pigpen again today.
Hearing the commotion outside, Jiang Feng walked out of the pigpen and saw it was a herder couple, both in their thirties or forties.
"Hello," Jiang Feng responded politely.
At Maodeng Ranch here, everyone rents private pastures, coming from different nearby villages. They’re considered neighbors but aren’t very familiar with each other, and since each person’s rented pasture area varies, there’s relatively little contact between them.
"Hello, hello, Master Jiang. We are also herders from Maodeng. We watched the live stream yesterday, and everyone says you’re very good at examining cattle."
"We have two cattle that are quite ill. Could you help take a look?"
"Don’t worry, we’ll pay whatever the cost for the treatment," one of them said urgently.
Jiang Feng understood his concern well; for ordinary herders, having a sick cow is truly distressing.
"Wasn’t Dr. Liu He here yesterday? Didn’t he go over?" Jiang Feng asked first.
"We didn’t have time to contact him," the herder said, somewhat regretfully. "And by the time we inquired, Dr. Liu had already gone east for another call, and won’t be available for two or three days."
"Alright, then I’ll go take a look," Jiang Feng nodded.
For this couple to come here to find him, they must have exhausted all other options, as unfamiliar herders generally wouldn’t impose like this.
"Master Jiang, no need to trouble you to come over; we’ve brought the cattle here. We were also worried about imposing, given how busy you are," the herder said hesitantly.
At this time, with the live stream going, viewers watched the scene with interest.
[Someone’s already coming to the master for treatment!]
[A miracle worker!]
[Haha, the master is really a treasure now!]
[With this skill, he could go anywhere across any ranch!]
Jiang Feng walked outside the ranch, where a truck had two yellow cattle on it.
He climbed onto the truck, carefully examined them, and said:
"This one has ordinary diarrhea and a fever, just an infusion of glucose and saline will do, and it will gradually recover."
"This one is more seriously ill, with an internal inflammation. It needs an IV first and then some anti-inflammatory medication."
"It’s common for ranches to give cattle and sheep IVs. Are you new around here?"
The man replied, "We used to raise sheep. This year we wanted to try raising cattle, so we bought thirty head of cattle. We rented pastures on the west side, 5,000 acres at 30 yuan per acre, so about 150,000 yuan a year."
Hearing this, Jiang Feng nodded.
There are still small ranchers in Maodeng, as there aren’t many herders renting pastures.
"Alright, I’ll help you set up the IV. Just switch the meds after they finish and remove the needles," Jiang Feng busied himself on the truck.
Soon, he had the IVs set up for the two cattle.
The herder couple were extremely grateful, gifting him some homegrown vegetables and tomatoes.
These vegetables were of good quality, and Jiang Feng accepted them gladly.
Then the herders slowly drove away.
After they left, Jiang Feng spoke to the viewers in the live stream:
"Raising cattle isn’t easy now. We are a ranch and have some grasslands, so it’s a bit better. The large-scale cattle farms have it tough."
"So, help where you can."
Everyone responded one after another:
[The master is a really good person!]
[Miraculous hands that bring the dead back to life!]
[Don’t praise him too much, or the master will get cocky again!]
[Watching him pretend to be humble makes me uncomfortable!]
Jiang Feng saw the comments, smiled slightly, and said as he walked:
"I’m going back to eat some braised beef, then show everyone the little kittens."
"The kittens have opened their eyes now and have started moving around."
"At this time, we must take good care of them; otherwise, they won’t be affectionate towards people."
Jiang Feng leisurely walked back home.
He always remained calm and unhurried, enjoying life.
Everything he did was steady.
Watching him explain or walk was a way to unwind.
Accompanying him were the Golden Retriever and the Little Border Collie, with the Golden Retriever once again trying to act cute in front of Jiang Feng, never leaving his side.
Ever since Border Collie Lai Cai started helping to look after the little ones, Golden Retriever Wangwang had completely let go of the responsibility for its children.
Jiang Feng would sometimes hold its big face and ask it, "Where’s your maternal love, not even feeding your kids?"
The Golden Retriever just gave a silly smile.
On the contrary, Jiang Feng noticed that Lucky, who hadn’t given birth, started producing milk. Although it’s not much, there is still some.
This surprised him quite a bit.
Jiang Feng walked along the road and stopped to look towards the pasture.
From this angle, there was no wall blocking, just able to see the outside of the pasture.
Golden Retriever Wangwang has a habit; every time Jiang Feng stands still, it would use its big head to nudge Jiang Feng’s legs from behind, and then stand between Jiang Feng’s legs, looking out like Jiang Feng.
In its eyes, this place is its exclusive spot. Sometimes, seeing Lucky and Wealthy, it would stand here on purpose and show off.
The scene of the person and the dog looking outside is especially amusing.
[Why does the master have two heads looking out?]
[Which second head are you talking about? Dog head or what head?]
[I want to grab the head in front of the master and RUA it hard!]
[You better be talking about the Golden Retriever!]
[Haha, this dog is so funny, imitating the master like this!]
Jiang Feng looked at the situation on the grassland and directly walked forward, stepping over the Golden Retriever.
The Golden Retriever continued to run alongside.
Jiang Feng returned to the yard.
Recently, Wealthy hasn’t been herding sheep, only Lucky goes to the grassland. Herding sheep with only one dog is indeed insufficient, but with someone watching, it’s manageable.
Jiang Feng’s family has three adult shepherd dogs; two are Lucky and Wealthy, and there’s one German Shepherd, which is Big Black Back. It’s majestic, earlier in the family than Lucky and Wealthy, and is the elder brother of the house.
But that dog is still at Jiang Feng’s place, and his uncle needs to herd a thousand sheep, so Big Black Back is temporarily staying at his uncle’s place.
Recently, Jiang Feng has been asking his uncle for the dog because the number of shepherd dogs here is really insufficient, with so many sheep, there are always many silly ones running around.
The Golden Retriever came to the yard, still following beside Jiang Feng.
"Aren’t you going to check on your kids?"
Jiang Feng looked at it and said irritably.
After hearing Jiang Feng’s words, the Golden Retriever finally ran to the doghouse and looked inside.
Then... it happily ran back to Jiang Feng.
In response, Jiang Feng was extremely helpless.
"Alright, I know you crave freedom!"
Jiang Feng patted its head, then pinched its face pretending to be angry and said:
"If you crave freedom, don’t have so many! Seven of them, if they all grow up like you, my ranch will eventually fall apart!"
Upon seeing this, the viewers burst into laughter.
[Wangwang, have more babies, make the master busy!]
[I just love seeing the master’s helpless look!]
[This dog is really a leader in the Golden Retriever community!]
[Everyone, don’t be fooled by the Golden Retriever; it’s very friendly to people, but it’s quite tricky in fights, causing trouble, and scheming!]
[My Golden Retriever has already been blacklisted by other dogs in the community; none of them play with it, it’s too mischievous!]
[A dog’s behavior really depends on how others raise them!]
The barrage continuously flowed in.
People who raise cats and dogs know that cats and dogs have various personalities, which can be unpredictable.
If raised from a young age, they need more companionship to develop good personalities.
So raising pets like cats and dogs in the city is one way to heal emotionally, and on the other hand, it’s also a responsibility.
Jiang Feng came to the doghouse, reached out, and picked up a Little Golden Retriever to take a look.
"Its eyes are almost completely open. Dogs open their eyes a few days later than cats and take longer to start moving."
"Just raise them like this for now."
"It’s hard work for Lucky doing the confinement here."
Jiang Feng put the Little Golden Retriever back, stroked Lucky.
Lucky seemed very happy, its golden-white face quite healing.
Xiaojin Hua is male, but his appearance completely inherits Lucky’s gold coloring. Not a trace of Lucky’s black remains.
The only similarity Xiaojin Hua has to Lucky is the gender.
Jiang Feng put down the puppy and went to see the kitten.
The drone followed into the house, switching to indoor filming mode.
The kittens are all in the cat bed on the table; at this point, with their eyes open, they’ve started moving around.
Big Orange lies in the cat bed, looking dejected and expressionless.
After the nursing period comes the kittens’ chaotic phase; it’s the most troublesome time.
Jiang Feng picked up a kitten and said:
"At this time, let small garden cats get familiar with human smells, so when they grow up, they’ll be close to people."
"Look at the five I raise; they aren’t afraid of people at all because I’ve been feeding them since they were small and they know my scent."
"Some people adopt small stray cats and find that whenever they approach, the little strays get their fur up, and no matter how you try, they won’t become familiar. After three months, they’re still the same, so you can only release them."
"Therefore, it’s important to let kittens come into contact with people early."
Hearing Jiang Feng’s words, many people empathized.
Indeed, some kittens never become familiar, remaining very wild.
The kittens and puppies in the room gradually grew.
More and more people joined Jiang Feng’s ranch through watching the live stream, starting to follow the ranch’s happenings.
Every time they saw these animals, it was like raising them themselves.
Their hearts also felt remarkably relaxed.
