Chapter 352: 351. Reciprocate (Monthly Pass 66+)
Li Du was a little complacent when he named the puppy. He thought the name was very good, simple and elegant, and suitable for the occasion.
However, he found that Sophie's expression was not very good, so he asked, "Do you think this name is unpleasant?"
The female doctor looked at Ah Miao, who was lying on the car window with melancholy eyes, and said, "No, it just exceeded my expectations. I guess you named this dog..."
"Ah Wang?" Li Du said first.
The female doctor couldn't help laughing, and said, "Yes."
Li Du nodded triumphantly, and said, "I can guess that you would think so, but the name Ah Wang is too common, and the name Ah Ao is absolutely rare."
Sophie sighed, stroked the puppy and said, "Okay, as long as you are happy."
"Aw, ow." The little milk dog barked twice more softly.
The puppy was temporarily entrusted to the female doctor, who took care of the little thing.
This was requested by Sophie, and she couldn't trust anyone except herself.
Li Du was embarrassed, and said, "Tell me the key points of taking care of it, and I will take care of it. After all, you still have to go to work."
Sophie shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'll return it to you when the little guy can walk, otherwise I'm really worried. This baby is too young, it's less than ten days old, and it's difficult for ordinary people to take good care of it. "
On the bedside of the bedroom, the female doctor made a comfortable soft bed for the puppy.
She found a basket woven with bamboo strips, stuffed some green leaves in it, and put a layer of gauze on top of the leaves.
"The leaves have a natural taste and are cooler, and the gauze has good air permeability, so it won't feel hot or stuffy." Sophie patted the basket and said.
Also, she took an alarm clock and put it in the frame.
Li Du asked: "Do you want to cultivate its sense of time?"
The female doctor couldn't help laughing, and said with a light smile: "What, this is a mechanical alarm clock, it will make a rhythmic sound, it will feel that this is mother's heartbeat, and it will become stable."
When the puppy peed, she dipped a cotton swab in the urine and applied it around the cage.
"The smell will also make it stable. We can't find its mother's smell, so let it feel its own smell around." Sophie added.
Li Du said, "You know a lot."
Sophie shrugged and said, "My father taught me this. When I was young, I raised many small animals, such as little rabbits, chickens, and a pony."
"Then your riding skills must be great." Li Dushun said.
Sophie smiled and said, "No, I just understand a little bit. My pony's hind legs are born with disabilities. It will get tired after carrying me for a long distance, so I don't ride a horse much."
Li Du suggested: "I know there is a ranch where some great quarter horses are raised. If you have time, we can go horseback riding."
Sophie sighed: "I'm looking forward to it, but I can't. You see, I won't be able to leave until this child can take care of himself."
On the contrary, Li Du sighed as he looked at Ah Ao, who was sleeping soundly beside the alarm clock.
The little thing is too weak, it is hard to say whether it can survive.
Sophie helped him take care of the puppy, and Li Du reciprocated and decided to cook a dinner for her.
There were not many vegetables and meat in the refrigerator, so he drove to the Amish gathering place, found Thomason and said, "Man, can I get some vegetables from you?"
Thomason smiled happily: "Pick as much as you want, my neighbor, I can't eat so many vegetables anyway, you can pick whatever you like."
Li Du asked: "Is there anything you are missing? If I encounter it in normal times, I can help you pay attention."
Thomason thought about it, and said: "It's almost autumn, and the farm work in the field is getting busy. My carriage is too old, and it may not be able to support the heavy farm work..."
Li Du nodded and said, "I understand. If I find the carriage, I will contact you."
Thomason smiled and said, "Thank you so much. If you find the carriage, then you can exchange it for whatever you want. As long as it is not my necessity, you can exchange it."
Li Du said: "Let's talk about it later."
He picked some vegetables and fruits, returned to Sophie's house, and prepared to wait until the evening came before he was busy cooking.
The greening of the community is very good, and there is an original ecological forest in the north.
Li Du went for a stroll, and when he came back he said excitedly, "Hey, Sophie, there are mushrooms in the woods behind you!"
Sophie said: "Yes, it has been raining in Flagstaff City these days, and mushrooms are easy to appear in the woods after the rain, but are they edible? I don't know."
Li Du nodded and said, "No problem. I checked. Straw mushrooms and white mushrooms are the most common. They are not poisonous. Don't worry, I grew up eating them."
Sophie asked cautiously: "Are you sure? I suggest not to take risks. Every year, people are hospitalized because of eating wild mushrooms. I have also participated in the rescue."
Seeing that she wasn't very interested, Li Du said, "Forget it, anyway, we have enough vegetables."
After a while, Sophie ran over like a little girl and said, "I thought about it, let's go pick mushrooms."
Li Du laughed and said, "Don't you want to take risks?"
Sophie showed off a book and said braggingly, "I brought "The Encyclopedia of Edible Wild Mushrooms". After we find the mushrooms, we can identify them. If we are sure that there is no problem with them, we can pick them off."
When the two went out, Li Dugang closed the door and went in again, dragging Ah Miao and Gan Crispy Noodles out.
He was afraid that in his absence, these two bastards would play Ah Ao to death. It wasn't because he was careless, Ah Miao definitely had the ability!
Within the scope of Flagstaff City, green grass and trees exist in patches. During the construction process of many communities, they will respect the original landform and ecology, and try to preserve the grasslands and forests.
This is what Sophie's community does. This community has been around for a long time. Li Du asked, "How old are the buildings here?"
As a result, the female doctor said: "Very young, about thirty years old."
Li Du said: "Isn't this an old house?"
Sophie smiled and said, "No house under 50 years old is old. The house my parents live in is more than 60 years old."
There are many old houses in the United States, and the older the big cities are, the more old houses there are.
People like to buy old houses, not because old houses have more historical atmosphere, but because old houses are cheap and new houses are more expensive, which brings great economic pressure to people.
As long as an old house is built, it will be very difficult to demolish it, because American real estate is permanent. If you buy a house, the land will always be the owner's.
In this case, the cost of demolition is high, and the developer is unwilling to pay so much money for the operation, and people are unwilling to relocate, unless the house is too old and the developer pays enough money.
