Chang Qingqing: "Then what do you suggest we do?"

Fu Meng: "I'm still trying to figure something out."

Shi Wen had searched around his house but couldn't find the cause, so he said, "How about I take a bottle of milk back and see if Yan Kexing has any ideas? He's knowledgeable and experienced; maybe he'll have some other suggestions."

Chang Qingqing: "That would be too much trouble for your Professor Yan. Wait a moment, I'll go get you some milk."

Fu Meng also said, "Thank you."

Shi Wen, "Brother Fu, you're being too polite. We're practically family!"

Fu Meng patted him on the shoulder and sighed.

Shi Wen thought for a moment and said, "I think it's just a problem with the milk, maybe the food is wrong. It's probably not a disease. If they were sick, they wouldn't be so healthy. Don't worry, just observe it for a while longer. Maybe it will suddenly get better on its own?"

Livestock cannot speak, they are exposed to many things, and veterinary medicine is not a field that has been studied in great depth, so it is often difficult to see what problems the livestock have.

People often try to solve the problem with various broad-spectrum drugs, but if that doesn't work, they can only accept their fate.

Often, livestock fall ill for no apparent reason and then recover just as inexplicably. As herders, all we can do is wait and see.

Anyway, as long as they don't die, they'll eventually get better.

Shi Wen people carrying milk home.

The dogs had returned from grazing and, upon seeing him, ran out to greet him enthusiastically.

An Wa ran up to him, sniffed the milk he was carrying, and then quickly ran away in disgust.

This guy must have smelled the strange odor of the milk.

Shi Wen the vivid expression on An Wa's face, Shiwen picked it up and rubbed it gently, then let it lie on its back on the grass.

An Wa looked completely innocent, sticking out her tongue and panting heavily.

When the other dogs saw An Wa being petted, they weren't having it anymore and squeezed in, rubbing their furry bodies against Shi Wen, indicating that they wanted to be petted too.

Especially Le Wa, who even put her paws on Shi Wen's shoulder.

Shi Wen rubbed their bellies and played with them for a while.

Shi Wen people carrying milk back to the main courtyard after petting the dog.

Yan Kexing was at home when he saw him return with a bottle of milk and asked, "Is there something wrong with this milk?"

Shi Wen up and said, "I haven't even said anything yet, how do you know there's a problem?"

"We don't lack milk at home. If you bring milk back, it must be special," Yan Kexing analyzed. "In this area, the only milk that's special in a positive sense is our milk. If it's not special in a positive sense, then it can only be special in a negative sense. So, what's the problem?"

"To be honest, I don't know what the problem is either." Shi Wen held up the milk. "This is Brother Fu's milk. It was fine before, but suddenly it became very unpleasant to drink, and we still can't figure out why."

Yan Kexing opened the bottle cap and smelled it. "It smells bad. Is there bacteria in it?"

Shi Wen, "I thought so too at the time, and I specifically asked. Brother Fu said that Sikewell had already sent the milk for testing, and no bacteria were found."

Yan Kexing looked at the milk. "That's a bit strange."

Chapter 105

Shi Wen and Yan Kexing analyzed for a long time, but they still couldn't figure out the reason.

Shi Wen thinks it's probably related to the feed.

He said to Fu Meng, "Brother Fu, how about we try changing the feed?"

Fu Meng smiled wryly, "Actually, we've already changed it once, and now I don't know what feed to switch to."

Shi Wen and said, "How about you switch to my mixed hay? Let them eat that for a few days and see if it's a problem with the feed."

Fu Meng: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. As for the price—"

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Shi Wen arranged, "It's just for a few days, so let's not talk about money. Here's what we'll do: I'll go cut the feed for your cows every afternoon for the evening and the next day, and you can come and transport it. Let's try it for a week and see if the situation improves."

Fu Meng felt bad about troubling him too much. "If you don't mind, I can cut it myself and transport it back."

Shi Wen, "That works too."

The alfalfa, red clover, and sheep grass on the pasture are all growing very well.

The alfalfa, in particular, has already started to grow small flower buds and should bloom soon.

The bees on the pasture have another high-quality nectar source.

After Shi Wen it with Shi Wen, Fu Meng Shi Wen's house every afternoon to cut hay.

He didn't cut much, just enough for the cattle at home each day.

Nevertheless, two large truckloads of hay still need to be transported back every day just to feed the family's cattle.

Fu Meng chopped up the hay he had brought back, put it in the trough, and patiently fed it to the cows.

The cows seemed to really enjoy the pasture Shi Wen Shiwen's place; the moment they smelled the grass, they buried their heads in the trough and began to eat heartily.

The next day, Fu Meng woke up at around 4 a. m.

He tiptoed to his feet in the darkness and reached for his shoes on the ground.

With a soft "snap," the light was switched on. Fu Meng turned around and saw Chang Qingqing lift the covers and sit up, squinting her eyes.

Fu Meng pressed the blanket down and said softly, "Go to sleep. Why are you up so early?"

Chang Qingqing: "I can't fall back asleep once I'm awake. I'll go with you to pump milk."

Fu Meng then arranged her shoes neatly. "I even went out of my way to be quiet, so as not to wake you."

Chang Qingqing: "Who woke me up? I was worried about the milk at home, so I couldn't sleep well. Old Fu, do you think the hay from Shi Wen's family is really useful?"

Fu Meng stood up. "Will it work? We'll go milk the cows and taste them to find out."

After washing up, the couple went to milk the cows under the cover of night.

The moon had not yet set; it hung high in the sky, radiating a bright, silvery glow.

His two children were asleep in their respective rooms, and the younger son was even snoring softly.

Fu Meng looked towards the child's room, a smile appearing on his face.

They went to the livestock shed to milk the cows.

It was too early; the cow wasn't fully awake yet. When they woke her up, she mooed in dissatisfaction.
