The Joy of Sheep 123

Text: I am Su Yan

Since raising sheep, I have gained more joy in life. No, I want to Write about sheep.

In our local dialect, sheep that can be milked and drank are not called sheep or dairy goats, but "grain donkeys". I haven't studied whether it is written this way. The pronunciation should be is right. In Mandarin, dairy sheep are called "goats".

I once called the ewes, one big and one small, "the eldest lady". The temperament of the eldest lady between them was really unusual. In order to make the big ewe produce more milk, when cooking every day, the vegetable rinds and melon rinds peeled off, and the remaining rice must be delivered to the big ewe's mouth countless times a day. Some of the things the big ewe likes to eat are banana peels, apple peels, peach peels, fennel white peels, cucumber heads, and pumpkins. Just put them in the palm of your hand. She licks them into her mouth in three mouthfuls, chews them twice in a hurry, and then swallows them. , and then continue to eat. Sometimes when I'm in a hurry to cook, I randomly find a small basin and throw it in. I rush back to cook. After the person leaves, it stops eating. Maybe it thinks that the food in the basin is not as flavorful as the food in other people's hands.

Oddly enough, every time I am used to giving food to the big ewe first, and after it eats a few mouthfuls, I want to change its taste, turn around and eat the poplar leaves hanging on the fence. Then he put his hand to the ewe's mouth. The little ewe sniffed and turned away. It was the same action several times. Darling, is it because you dislike it and only give it to its mother to eat? It makes you angry and refuses to eat the food that comes to you. Still don’t like to eat? I think the former is more likely. The little sheep got used to seeing favoritism and only the big sheep barked. When they saw delicious food being brought to them, they continued to lie down against the wall. They only looked at the person showing affection to their mother with cold eyes and remained motionless. . If it is standing, still majestic and motionless, with its head held high, in a heroic posture that is neither humble nor arrogant, it will make you feel ashamed and dejected, just to squeeze an extra pound of milk from its mother every day, so blatantly to please It is true that favoring one over the other will not make it onto the table. However, if a person is so despised by a sheep, it will be difficult for him to behave as a human being if word spreads.

The big ewe also has a temperament that is too young. She will pant if she is told she is fat, which is quite a big deal. He was licking the food from human hands with pleasure when suddenly you were caught off guard and made a 180-degree turn, facing you with his big ass still covered in urine and mud, and rushed forward with his head facing you. On the branch on the fence, he was chewing the poplar leaves hanging on it again. The speed was so funny that it made people laugh. This is just like when humans eat steamed buns, they must be served with pickles or gruel, otherwise they will not taste good. Alas, the person's hot face is facing the hot butt of the sheep, and all he can see is that in the big round mouth at the back, black balls the size of peanuts are crowding out from the front and back, and they fall to the ground with a splash. Isn't it too embarrassing? Let me tell you straight away, you can neither be angry nor laugh. As the saying goes, "Heaven controls earth, but you can't control sheep pooping and peeing."

Stomping his feet, throwing down the food in his hands, he left in anger. The big ewe will not appreciate it, because it shows favor to you because of your partiality, and still chews as much as it has. The little ewe gained the upper hand now and got her wish. She took advantage of her heart and twisted her mouth to laugh out loud, but felt it was inappropriate. After all, the power of life and death was in the hands of human beings. It made people angry and frustrated. In case of pain, she would be killed. Then the gain outweighs the loss. So he tilted his mouth very cleverly, and then tilted it in the opposite direction again, telling the owner very straightforwardly through his actions: I didn't see anything, I was chewing cud!

The little ewe is almost three months old. She is a big beautiful sheep. She has a slender body and looks like a big ewe since she was born. He behaves like a little fairy. Poplar branches were pinned to the fence, and two sheep came over eagerly to eat. But the big ewe showed off her power, lowered her head, and pushed the little ewe forward hard, one, two, and three times. The posture was different from the usual fights, the force was quite strong, and it was also angry. No matter how charming the little mother was, she was no match for her mother in terms of strength, experience, and momentum, so she had no choice but to step back and step aside in aggrieved manner.

In the past, the mother-in-law had a lot of fun with each other, but now why does the mother-in-law have a relationship with her daughter? I understand, the mother became jealous when she saw that her daughter was taller and more beautiful than she was.

Probably the thoughts between human women are similar. No matter whether you are a couple, sisters, or friends, if you are on the same starting line, if one party is stronger than the other, the other party will definitely have a lot of dissatisfaction and all kinds of dissatisfaction. Envy, jealousy, hatred, suppression and harm.

Thinking about the animal world and humans living on the same earth, breathing the same air, their ears and eyes have been infected with various bad habits of humans, and their temperaments have also followed humans', they are exactly the same. For example, the bad habit of urinating in public. Human beings are at the corners of streets and alleys, facing the wall casually, using urine to paint a landscape painting, and the irritation can be smelled from a distance. If you take a closer look, there are white urine stains on the wall.

Sheep are "better than blue". Their big butts never shy away from people. They go all the way and do whatever is convenient for them. They are more casual than people.

Sheep are as picky as humans. Humans have dumplings today, rice the next, and noodles the day after tomorrow. The same goes for sheep. Today there are poplars, tomorrow there are willows, and the day after tomorrow there are fur coats. Just eating dry food is not enough. Noodle soup, porridge, and vegetable leaves must have salt in the soup. Corn and sorghum must also be available every day. It is more precious than human beings. It is not enough to eat three meals a day. It needs to eat less and more frequently.

There are many more interesting things about sheep, so I’ll stop here for now and talk about them later.
