Era: 1979 From mountain man to richest man

Chapter 51: Driving out mountain dogs and translating

Song Chaoyang remembered the dream he had last night, in which Kong Yun picked up two dogs.

Sure enough, she still picked it up.

When Song Chaoyang saw the two dogs that Kong Yun picked up, he recognized them at a glance as the kind of hunting dogs often raised by local hunters.

Song Chaoyang's grandfather had several such mountain dogs at home.

Their eye sockets are deep and triangular in shape, and their eyes are brown in color. Their ears are droopy and appear in an inverted triangle shape.

The nose is dark, shiny and very round.

There are blue spots on the tongue.

According to old hunters, this kind of spots also determines the intensity of the dog’s hunting ability. The more spots, the more ferocious it is.

The adult mountain dog has slender limbs and plump muscles, giving it a streamlined and dynamic look.

Because I often work in the mountains, my toenails are grooved and can grip the ground and rock walls very stably.

It runs fast, has good endurance, and has a keen sense of smell.

Their hair colors are red and blue, iron blue, flower red and blue, and flower iron blue.

The two that Kong Yun picked up were one red and green and one iron green.

At this moment, the two plump little things had their tails wagging like propellers.

Looks very family friendly.

This kind of dog is left free in the mountains and forests near the village because some owners don't like to feed it.

Let them find food for themselves and maintain their hunting wildness.

At the same time, it can also reduce the food burden on the family.

They are only summoned when hunting in the mountains.

When hunting bears, wild boars, and leopards here, the hunters will bring a large group of mountain dogs with them.

With their excellent sense of smell and hunting talent, they will always be rewarded every time they go into the mountains.

Mountain dogs will also give birth to cubs in the village after becoming pregnant.

When people in the village see this, they will pick it up and take it home if they need it.

Even if there is no need, stuttering will be given.

It's like some kind of tacit agreement between mountain people and dogs.

The two that Kong Yun picked up now seem to have been at least more than a month old.

The bitch must have deliberately tricked them into coming here.

Dogs can also tell who is living a more prosperous life from household garbage and smell.

Especially the smell of fish cooked here at noon today can be smelled all around. Dogs have a keen sense of smell and can smell the smell from farther away.

Maybe this matter has something to do with me.

Sure enough, after asking, Kong Yun said that she picked up the two puppies behind the house.

This was all thrown under the nose, and it was obviously intentional.

"Do they need milk?"

"Chaoyang, why don't you help me search the village and ask if there is a female dog that has given birth to puppies?" Kong Yun said to Song Chaoyang.

Song Chaoyang picked up the two dogs and checked them. They were one male and one female.

The male's tongue has a lot of spots, and he will probably be a top mountain dog when he grows up.

This guy was also very lively, circling around Song Chaoyang.

The female's tongue has slightly fewer spots, but it's not bad.

Both of them are good hunting dogs in appearance.

Song Chaoyang said to Kong Yun:

"This puppy has been fed by the mother dog for more than a month. If you want to raise it, just feed them some leftovers."

"They're very adaptable."

Kong Yun said with some doubt:

"Is it possible? They are still so young."

Song Chaoyang said to Kong Yun:

"This is how the dogs in our village are raised."

"Even if you feed them a little bigger and throw them out into the forest, they can follow other dogs to find food, and you don't have to worry at all."

Kong Yun touched the two dogs and let their tongues lick at his hands, making her giggle. At the same time, he said to Song Chaoyang:
"I have no intention of putting them in the mountains. It would be nice to keep them here to look after them."

"So cute."

"They lose their cuteness when they grow up. Even wild boars are afraid of a large group of them." Song Chaoyang said with a shrug.

Kong Yun rolled her eyes at him, looking at the two chubby little things, thinking that it would be great if they were always this big.

Who wants them to hunt?

It’s not like I don’t have meat tickets to buy meat.

"So they can eat rice and meat now, right?" Cao Wei asked from the side.

Song Chaoyang glanced at Cao Wei, shook his head and said:
"Rice and meat are so valuable, how can I feed it!"

"The leftovers I just talked about are the kind of sweet potatoes and corn mush we eat. We usually feed them pig food."

"If it doesn't have enough to eat, it will go to the mountains to find food. In short, dogs in the mountains will eat everything and are not that valuable."

Cao Wei nodded, squatted down and touched the two chubby little guys:

"That's really easy to raise."

"When I was a kid, I saw wolfdogs raised in the army."

"The food treatment is higher than other people's."

Of course Song Chaoyang knew about the military dogs in the army. He said:
"That one is different. People who eat from the government are well-organized. This one is just like us mountain people. Those who stutter are fine. If you are picky, you won't survive."

"If you want to eat well, you have to be capable."

"Every time we come back from hunting, we hunters will not treat these dogs badly."

After the autumn harvest in the mountains here, there will be some leisure time. At that time, hunters would take these mountain dogs into the mountains and give them a portion of the prey they caught.

The more capable the mountain dog hunter is, the less likely he is to treat them badly.

It sounds like he is similar to a human being, how capable he is and how much he eats.

The more capable you are, the better your life will be.

But Kong Yun didn't care about this. She mixed the leftover rice with some leftover fish soup and served it in front of the two little guys.

Watch them wagging their little tails and eating.

A happy smile appeared on his face.

While watching the dog eat, he said:
"Eat slowly, eat slowly..."

Song Chaoyang could tell that she liked the two little guys she picked up very much.

The first meal I had when I came to Zhiqingdian was fish soup mixed with rice.

The treatment of this dog is a little lower than when I first traveled through time.

When I first traveled through time, I only ate half a bowl of fermented glutinous rice eggs.

Song Chaoyang shook his head and sighed at the luxury of this girl Kong Yun.

"Chaoyang, what would you like to name them?" Kong Yun raised her head at this time and asked Song Chaoyang.

Hearing this question, Song Chaoyang scratched his head. He had never thought about naming a dog.

Facing Kong Yun’s question, he finally said perfunctorily:

"How about calling me...Little Red and Little Black?"

Unexpectedly, Kong Yun agreed very much, and immediately smiled and nodded:

"What a good name! From now on, we'll call them Xiaohong and Xiaohei."

This reaction left Cao Wei speechless.

Kong Yun must be interested in Song Chaoyang, otherwise she wouldn't have this reaction.

Looking at the way Kong Yun looked at Song Chaoyang, she became even more sure.

Cao Wei sighed inwardly, this hero saving the beauty was too destructive.

It's all my fault that I didn't call someone earlier last time, so Kong Yun was rescued by Song Chaoyang.

Coupled with Song Chaoyang's excellent cooking skills, the damage to Kong Yun was doubled.

It seems that I have to find a way to tell Song Chaoyang about this matter, so as not to make both parties sad when they have to separate.

Song Chaoyang stood up and was about to leave when he saw several English publications on the desk beside him, including magazines, instruction manuals, and management manuals, all in a mess.

And there is a pile of translated Chinese manuscripts placed next to it.

Song Chaoyang was startled. He remembered that in his previous life, English was not listed as a college entrance examination subject until 1983.

Why are they doing translation exercises now?
Did I remember it wrong, or has the world changed?

Song Chaoyang turned to Kong Yun and asked:

"Will you take the English test in the college entrance examination next year?"

"Huh?" Kong Yun looked at Song Chaoyang in surprise, then noticed that he was pointing to the English magazine on the table and smiled immediately:

"Oh, that's the translation job Xiaowei took over."

"She had nothing to do after reviewing, so she just flipped through the publications."

"She is the only one among our educated youth who has this energy, and the others don't even have time to review..."

"Translation?" Song Chaoyang looked at Cao Wei in confusion.

Cao Wei also came to her senses at this moment. Seeing Song Chaoyang's curious look, she hurriedly explained.

After her explanation, Song Chaoyang understood.

It turns out that at this point in time, the country’s reform and opening up needs to improve technology and knowledge in various industries.

To learn advanced Western concepts, whether it is technology or management methods, a lot of translation work is required.

However, due to some previous reasons, there has been a large gap in translator talent.

Finding enough translators is currently very difficult.

The shortage of translators has seriously affected the development of many industries.

The inability to immediately translate foreign literature has hindered many project plans.

After such a situation occurred, the higher authorities immediately began to face the society and distributed some not very important publications to the lower levels of provinces and cities.

I plan to let the following people find suitable translators for paid translation.

This can reduce the pressure on relevant departments and also help discover translation talents.

Educated youths are a key group, so they have been notified of this by the higher authorities.

Cao Wei took over the translation job and translated many publications every month.

By translating one or two publications a month, she can earn thirty or forty dollars and some bills.

After hearing the news, Song Chaoyang's eyes lit up and he asked Cao Wei:

"Where can I pick this up?"

Cao Wei looked at Song Chaoyang who was a little excited and said:

"In the commune post and telecommunications office."

Then she hesitated for a moment and asked doubtfully:

"You want to pick up?"

"Yeah!" Song Chaoyang nodded.

When Cao Wei heard that Song Chaoyang actually wanted to translate, she was slightly startled. Even Kong Yun was reminded at this moment:
"Chaoyang, this translation is not easy. Xiaowei is very good at English so she can take on this job. Others are too slow even if they try to translate."

"In the end, everyone gave up the job because translation was too time-consuming and had no time to review."

After she finished speaking, Cao Wei also nodded. She was the only one who could do this work. Others were too slow to do it and gave up one by one.

However, after listening to this, Song Chaoyang not only did not flinch, but instead picked up a book, flipped through it, and asked:

"How does this translation count?"
