Rural life in America

Chapter 14 Pets and Status

Originally, I was going to the pet store, but the little girls' love for toys and snacks exceeded their expectations for small pets; Zhang Hao naturally had to follow, and his task was to be responsible for paying the bill.

Xixi and Yoyo are very happy, running happily in the supermarket; there are toys and snacks here, it is heaven for these two little guys.

Seeing Xixi looking at the electric car eagerly, Zhang Hao smiled, "Xixi, do you want Dad to buy you a car?"

Xixi struggled for a long time before asking, "It's running, I'm afraid."

Hehe, the little girl doesn't like all kinds of toys; many children like electric cars, and Xixi seemed to be more curious about electric cars before.

It's just that the little girl is timid, so it's okay to push and pull in the electric car. Anyway, the adults must touch the car directly.As for the remote control and automatic walking, the little girl is very afraid. She can't leave the protection of the adults. The timid little girl needs all-round and meticulous protection.

Big bags and small bags can't be said, anyway, Zhang Hao is carrying two big bags of snacks; Yoyo is carrying a bear in his left hand, and a Barbie doll in his right hand.Xixi bounced happily and bought a pink piggy doll.

Went to the pet store, should have gone.

When he arrived at the pet shop, Zhang Hao was a little stunned; he felt that he should be that kind of authoritative zoology expert, a very versatile type.So dogs and cats must be fairly well understood.

But the reality is a bit different. Pet dogs had already reached a certain scale in the Song Dynasty, but they were not very developed.The most important thing is that the general living habits of dogs are similar, but different breeds will also cause differences in these dogs.

Zhang Hao just listened honestly. There are a lot of dogs such as German Blackback, Border Collie, Labrador, etc. The introduction sounds very good, and it seems that they are also suitable for working on the ranch.The general character is intelligence, loyalty and bravery, which are indeed the basic qualities needed for a working dog in a ranch.

Xixi and Yoyo are happy, the two little girls have seen a lot of cute animals now; children of this age basically have no resistance to small animals, not to mention most of the animals were cute and cute when they were young.

Zhang Hao was communicating with the pet store clerk, "I'm not buying a pet dog, what I need is a working dog. I think the border collie is too small, although it is very smart. Do you know what I mean, is it stronger and more powerful? Bigger dogs, it doesn't matter if they're a little bit dumber, but certainly not too stupid or too violent, and I have kids at home."

The clerk at the pet shop understood what Zhang Hao meant. Medium-sized dogs are too small, so big dogs are better. "Sir, you can choose Great Pyrenees. They are calm, patient, responsible, loyal and brave. They are the most powerful dogs today." One of the species. When they grow up, their shoulder height will be more than [-] centimeters, and their weight will reach about [-] kilograms."

Zhang Hao bared his teeth and smiled, he just likes such a tall and mighty dog, which suits Zhang Hao's wild temperament.

Now that he has a general goal, he also feels that the Great Pyrenees is really exciting, but Zhang Hao did not make a blind decision; he needs to continue to understand, because buying a dog is not an easy matter.

It is necessary to know whether such a dog is really suitable for working on a ranch, whether it has the ability to guard the house or even occasionally go hunting; and whether such a dog will be difficult to take care of or has a bad temper. Zhang Hao does not want to buy one A ferocious fighting dog with a bad temper who doesn't recognize his master.

While Zhang Hao was listening to the "professional" introduction by the pet shop clerk, Xixi ran over; the little penguin-like guy stumbled over, quite happy.

Hugging her father's leg, Xixi said happily, "Dad, rabbit."

Zhang Hao smiled at the clerk of the pet shop, bent down and hugged his baby girl and asked, "Where is the big rabbit? Do you like it? If you like a big rabbit, we can take it home, but you have to promise Dad that you will take good care of the big rabbit." Rabbits do."

Xixi nodded quickly, pointing her little finger in front of her and said, "Sister, sister, sister."

Zhang Hao knew that the baby girl was interested in seeing it, so he could only temporarily put aside the matter of buying a dog, and went to see what kind of pet the baby girl fell in love with.

Seeing Yoyo, the little girl was smiling and teasing a little rabbit with big ears; Zhang Hao thought this rabbit was a bit weird, but it was really cute.

It's not a strange thing for a rabbit to have big ears, but this rabbit's ears are surprisingly big, and the ears are soft and drooping, which is really cute and cute.

It should be a lop-eared rabbit, a very popular pet rabbit; the clerk explained that this is an American lop-eared rabbit, which is a relatively medium-sized lop-eared rabbit.It is not as big as the largest French lop-eared rabbit, but slightly bigger than the British lop-eared rabbit; it is not a problem to grow up to about three to five catties, and it is quiet, timid and unlikely to make trouble.

Seeing his daughter looking very excited and looking forward to it, Zhang Hao naturally felt that it would be no problem to buy a cute little rabbit; it is also a good thing for Xixi to have a small pet to take care of. To learn, to learn from an early age.

Although I have never raised rabbits, it’s just that this kind of pet shop doesn’t just sell pets; there are also manuals for taking care of small rabbits, and there are all kinds of knowledge about lop-eared rabbits. As long as you are careful, you really don’t need to go too far Worried that this little rabbit will have an accident.

The two little girls were enthusiastically learning to take care of the little rabbits from the pet store clerk. Zhang Hao naturally didn't have that much patience, so he planned to take a look around.

Although it is not a big pet store, there are quite a lot of pets.

Suddenly, Zhang Hao was stunned; he saw a bird and felt that he wanted to buy it home.

Among the inheritances obtained, there are many more practical ones; because Huangfu Duan himself is a veterinarian, he is good at treating cattle and horses.Later, I entered the Yumajian, which is not just about raising horses; the ancient emperors were very extravagant, and many emperors liked to raise some exotic animals.

Zhang Hao seems to be raising some strange animals now, because he feels that he really has such ability.

This is a palm-sized parrot. Most of the body is bright red, but the middle part of the wings is yellow, and the tips of the wings are blue. The feathers are bright and beautiful.

Zhang Hao was really moved, and thought it would be good to have a parrot; parrots learn to speak, and it is said that the ability to learn English is very good.

This parrot hits the spot at first glance, and upon further questioning, it turns out to be a colorful macaw; it is said to be a lively and curious parrot that often hisses loudly.If it really grows up, it will have a body length of 80 centimeters, weigh two or three catties, and live for about [-] years.

The more he looked at it, the more excited he became, and Zhang Hao felt that he could really consider buying this parrot.

I have to ask my daughter, the little girl's opinion is very important; I hugged the struggling fat daughter, pointed to the beautiful colorful macaw and asked: "Xixi, is this parrot beautiful? Dad took it home too Okay, you have to help Dad take care of it too."

Xixi immediately replied, "Okay."

It seems that Xixi is not interested in the beautiful parrot, just put her on the ground, the little girl immediately stumbled and ran to find her sister, her favorite is the cute rabbit, not the little bird that her father likes.

This is a very happy purchase. I bought some snacks and toys, which must be liked by the children.

But the happiest thing for the children was the little rabbit; the two little girls couldn't do without the lop-eared rabbit, and they carefully supported the rabbit's cage when they got into the car.

As for Zhang Hao's favorite parrot, no one cared, and there was a small box on the co-pilot, and two chubby great pyrenes were also brought back.

Seeing Zhang Hao's return and seeing the pet Zhang Hao bought, Yu Xiu immediately became angry.

"No wonder you said you needed a loan. You only made a little money and spent it like this. Why buy a parrot? What's the use of buying a parrot?"

Zhang Hao said with a chuckle: "Fate, I just feel that I will miss it if I don't bring it back. It's a very mysterious feeling, just like when you go shopping, when you see beautiful clothes, you think it suits you."

Yu Xiu said angrily: "I saw a lot of clothes, but I didn't see that I actually bought them. I don't have that much money!"

Scratching his head in embarrassment, he pointed to the small box and said, "The two dogs I bought are Great Pyrenees. They are strong and work well. One male and one female just grow up to be paired, and they are not related by blood."

Yu Xiu was still dissatisfied and said, "Why are they all white? If these two puppies grow up to help you do the work, they will get dirty after running around for a while, and it will be troublesome to wash them at that time. Buy yellow dogs and black dogs That's good, it saves a lot of trouble. It's hard to take care of the white dog."

After being criticized by his mother, Zhang Hao immediately became depressed; he seemed really not suitable for shopping, because the things he bought always failed to satisfy his mother.

When I buy my own clothes, my mother thinks the style is ugly and old-fashioned, etc.; when buying daily necessities, I think the price is not good.
There is no other way, Zhang Hao thinks that he should go shopping less in the future, so that he may be criticized less often.But you can also consider other methods. If you earn more money, then my mother will definitely not be so close.

There is no need to continue to be scolded, because there is a caring little padded jacket.

"Grandma, rabbit!"

Youyou and Xixi ran over, and took grandma to see their precious rabbit; Zhang Hao was of course relaxed at this time, his mother was entangled by the children, and happily commented on the cute rabbit, how could he care about Zhang Hao .

I'm upset, what's so good about that rabbit; it doesn't grow big, has no meat, and can't work yet.

My two dogs are so wonderful, cute, powerful, mighty and lively; our parrot is so handsome, long-lived, beautiful and naughty.
Well, in my mother's eyes, Zhang Hao's pets are treated similarly to Zhang Hao's; the owner's treatment is not much better, and the pets are expected to be treated well.

As for Zhang Hao's status, the immature children are often criticized by their parents; although the baby girl is not a little princess, she is almost the same, and the family will not mess with her anyway.

Calculated in this way, Zhang Hao is really the lowest status in the family; his pets are not taken seriously, which is normal!
