Chapter 119

Sikewell drove away with the photographer.

As they were leaving, they saw a pack of wolves running towards Shi Wen's ranch from afar.

There were about five or six wolves in the pack. They seemed particularly cheerful as they ran over, their four little paws bouncing as if they were tap dancing.

The photographer glanced back and asked, "Are these wolves heading for Brother Shi's ranch? Will things get bad?"

Sikewell: "What could be wrong with them looking like that? They probably want to play with their dog friends."

Photographer: "Do dogs have friends?"

Sikewell: "Of course. Living in the same area, it's perfectly normal for a dog to have several canine friends. Not to mention dogs, cats have feline friends too. It's just that people don't usually observe that."

Photographer: "That's amazing."

When they saw it, Shi Wen also saw it.

Sikewell assumed the wolves had come to befriend his dog, which wasn't entirely wrong; however, initially, the wolves had their eyes on him, not his dog.

--Ever since the wolves discovered his animal ears, they've stopped being afraid of him. They're always howling at him from outside the barbed wire fence into the pasture. After a few times, they've become familiar with the dogs, and the two sides have even become good friends.

Shi Wen watched as the wolves ran to the outside of his fence, obediently squatted down, and barked twice. Helpless, he walked over and opened the gate for them. "What are you pretending for? Don't you just jump in by yourselves when I'm not home?"

The wolves pretended not to understand, looking to the left, to the right, and down at the ground, but none of them dared to look him in the eye.

Shi Wen sighed and rubbed the wolf's head in exasperation.

The wolves appeared very docile in his presence, displaying a strong sense of submission.

He could pet any wolf he wanted, and the wolf would even rest its head on his hand, its eyes blinking – it was incredibly well-behaved.

Shi Wen who are used to petting their own dogs sometimes find it quite amusing to pet a real wild wolf.

The wolf's fur wasn't as smooth as his dog's, but it had a unique wildness about it, and the sense of accomplishment from petting it was very different.

There were no outsiders left on the ranch, so he simply took off his wool hat and stuffed it into his hoodie pocket. "Alright, you guys go out and have some fun."

The wolves barked twice at him before running over to play with the dogs.

Shi Wen him going to work with his hands in his pockets.

When Yan Kexing came back, he pinched Heiwa's ear as he entered from outside. "Did the wolves outside come over to play with Heiwa and the others again?"

Shi Wen, "They say they're here to have fun, but I bet they're here to date."

Of all the little guys in their family, only Cong Zai had already become an old man cat before meeting him and had since become detached from worldly affairs; the others still needed to experience dating.

Shi Wen originally wanted to see if Le Wa would form a family with one of the dogs in the house, but it turned out that Le Wa only liked to eat and didn't like any of the dogs.

Now all the dogs in the house want to make friends with strangers.

The dogs and wolves were quite clever; they knew how to hide.

Shi Wen them simply turning a blind eye and not making a fuss.

Yan Kexing: "In that case, if they have puppies, will they be able to successfully become sheepdogs?"

Shi Wen, "I don't know, we'll teach them when the time comes. If even Langwa can be trained, the second-generation dogs shouldn't have too much of a problem. At the very least, the dogs are well-socialized, they should be able to teach themselves."

It's too early to talk about a second-generation dog. Maybe she never conceived and there's never been a second-generation dog.

Chapter 119

On Saturday, Shi Wen and Yan Kexing planned to invite Gong Jiang and his family over for lunch.

Shi Wen asking in the group chat, "[What do you guys want to eat? Lamb or goose?]"

Ge Yue: [I've eaten a lot of mutton lately, so I don't really want to eat it anymore.]

Lin Chengqian: [Me too, I want to try something new.]

Shi Wen: [Let me think about what we can eat? Gong Jiang, what do you want to eat? Let's come out and discuss it.]

Gong Jiang: [How about we have soup rice?]

Ge Yue: [I vote for soup rice! I haven't had soup rice in ages. Brother Shi, do you have tomato sauce at home that you can use to make soup rice?]

Lin Chengqian: [Now that you mention it, I'm craving soup rice too. Add me to your vote!]

Upon Shi Wen the reply in the group chat, Shi Wen turned to Yan Kexing, "Ge Yue and the others want to eat soup rice, how about we make some tomato sauce and cook soup rice?"

Yan Kexing's voice came from inside the room. "Okay."

Shi Wen, "Then I'll tell them."

On Saturday morning, after finishing their work at the ranch, Shi Wen and Yan Kexing went to the backyard and picked all the ripe tomatoes.

Their tomatoes are still in peak production, with red tomatoes, bigger than apples, hanging on the tomato vines.

Shi Wen and Yan Kexing kept turning over the branches and picking the big tomatoes off the top, and soon they had picked three large baskets.

Shi Wen looked at the tomatoes in the basket and said, "We'll have to wash two big vats to make tomato sauce later."

Yan Kexing: "Didn't you say you didn't know what to send to the members in August? How about sending each member a jar of ketchup?"

Shi Wen, "That works too. I'll buy a sealed jar online and divide the ketchup."

The two carried the tomatoes back into the house, Yan Kexing specially found a large soup pot to make tomato sauce.

They don't use tomato skins when making tomato sauce; they only use the pulp.

The tomato sauce at home is already delicious. Simmer it in a pot over low heat, and the rich aroma of tomato sauce will waft out. It's sweet and sour, with a unique tomato fragrance.

The little ones were playing on the grass, but they couldn't resist the aroma and ran over in droves, squatting outside the kitchen, each one more well-behaved than the last.

When Gong Jiang and his group arrived, the first thing they saw was the large army of animals outside the kitchen.

The little ones recognized the person, but they all turned their heads to look at them briefly before turning their heads back, not even giving way to the person.

Ge Yue angrily. "You roadblock dogs and foxes!"

Fu Wa stood up and nuzzled her hand with her head, offering silent comfort.
