Chapter 465: Dividing the Dogs
As the two sides approached, Lu Xiaocao jumped off the shaft of the cart and shouted to her sister who was running over, "Shengxi, where are you going?"
"Sister, you're finally back. Why are you so late today? I've been waiting for you at home and got anxious, so I sent Zhao Bei and me to pick you up." Wen Shengxi saw that nothing had happened to his sister, and there was concern and complaint in his tone.
Lu Xiaocao patted her arm to reassure her, then smiled happily, "Sister said she met a paparazzi before and asked me to buy two dogs. I found the old man before, but he said the dogs at home hadn't given birth yet. So, he came to the store yesterday and asked if I wanted one, so I asked him to send the dog over today. He was late because of something, and I came back late too."
Lu Xiaocao looked at Zhao Bei apologetically and said, "I am really sorry to bother you and make you come all the way here."
Zhao Bei felt relieved when he saw someone coming to greet him. He raised his head and scratched it, saying nonchalantly, "It's good that you're back."
"Sister, sister, you were not at home today. Something big happened at home." Then Wen Shengxi chattered like a little sparrow and told Lu Xiaocao everything that happened at home today.
Lu Xiaocao and Wang Xiaoxiu looked at each other and could see the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Is it true? The emperor knows about Niutoushan Village? He also knows about my sister? And he even gave her something as a reward?" Lu Xiaocao was a little unconvinced.
"Sister, what's that look in your eyes? Can I lie to you about this? If you don't believe me, ask Zhao Bei to see if Sister's family has an imperial decree."
Wen Shengxi was questioned by her elder sister and pursed her lips unhappily.
"I believe you, I believe you, come on, go back and let me see you."
The little donkey knew that he had come back late today. When he was almost home, he didn't even need to knock on the donkey. The donkey walked quickly towards home.
When Lu Xiaocao got home, she didn't have time to pick up her things. She ran to the yard holding the box of money. Her voice spread throughout the yard, "Sister, did the emperor send an edict to our house? What does an edict look like? What's going on?"
Wang Xiaoxiu got off the car at the fork in the road and headed towards the village. Zhao Bei then saw the two sisters running back home excitedly, and then looked at the unattended donkey cart and the things on it.
He picked up the basket containing the dogs, and the donkey did not need him to lead it. The donkey took the lead and went to the back door as it was familiar with the route, and then stopped.
Waiting for someone to untie him so that he can eat some grass.
Zhao Bei was like a lonely mute, moving things from the car into the backyard one trip at a time.
Then he untied the saddle from the donkey, carried the basket containing the dog and tied the donkey to the donkey stable.
After Lu Xiaocao listened to what Gu Qingqing said as if she was listening to a book, she was happy for her sister's family but also found it unbelievable.
Gu Qingqing, on the other hand, was no longer excited. She looked left and right behind her, but couldn't see the puppy she mentioned. So she asked, "Didn't you say you bought a puppy? Where's the dog?"
Lu Xiaocao also looked around and realized, "Ah!" "I was just running home and I pulled them into the car."
"Sister, I'll go." Wen Shengxi, who was standing nearby, saw her sister was going out to look for the dog, so she rushed into the yard first.
As a result, when she just reached the door, if she hadn't stopped quickly this time, she might have bumped into Zhao Bei again.
Then her eyes fell on his hands, "Ah, you brought it here. Sister said she wanted to see it."
Wen Shengxi just glanced at Zhao Bei and quickly lowered his eyes.
"Here, it's for you." Zhao Bei said as he handed over the basket in his hand.
Zhao Bei watched her take the basket, scratched his head, and said to himself, "Why is she blushing? But she looks pretty good."
When the children in the yard heard that the family had bought another dog, they immediately gathered around and touched the three black puppies.
The most excited one was not the children but Dahei. Dahei looked at his fellow dogs in the basket, and his face was full of excitement. He stomped his feet happily on the spot.
Gu Qingqing understood what it meant. It wanted to take a closer look and was waiting for her consent.
Gu Qingqing patted the big black dog's head and said, "You can only smell it."
Dahei squeezed into the crowd, and while sniffing, he knocked over three puppies one by one with his nose.
"Sister, didn't you say last time that the village chief's family also wanted to raise one? So I took the initiative to buy all three from the old man's house. You raise one, and I want to catch one back to Shuangxi Village for my mother to raise."
"Okay, you can give it to mom. In the future, I'll have it with me wherever I go to give me courage. Then you quickly pick one, and I'll ask someone to call the village chief to see which one he catches." Gu Qingqing said to her.
"Sister, I, I don't know how to choose a dog. How about you help me choose?" Lu Xiaocao looked at the three furry balls scrambling to climb out of the basket, and she hesitated. She didn't know who to choose at all.
Gu Qingqing looked at all three and said, "Do you want to raise a male or a female? They were born from the same litter. This one is smaller, so it should be a female."
Gu Qingqing turned the puppy over to look at it and confirmed, "This is only a female, the other two are males."
"I do not know either."
Gu Qingqing nodded in understanding, "Since you don't know which one to choose, just let them choose you. Touch all three and see which one responds to you. Then you can raise that one."
After hearing this, Lu Xiaocao touched them one by one. In the end, the second one gave her the strongest response, so she kept it.
Well, a little male dog.
Gu Qingqing sent Li Xin to the village chief's house. After a while, Wu Shan and Wu Mu came with silver. When they came, they happened to see one running in the yard. They didn't even look at the other one and chose the one running around in the yard on the spot.
Well, another little male dog.
After everyone saw Wu Shan off, the children discovered in the blink of an eye that the other puppy was missing.
A few people thought it had hidden there accidentally, but after searching the entire front yard, they couldn't find it.
"Dahei, have you seen the other puppy?" Wenrou asked Dahei, who was curled up in the nest to sleep, when she passed by him.
Dahei remained curled up in the posture, looked at his little master, and then closed his eyes and went to sleep.
"Mom, the puppy was here just now. Where can it run to when it's so small?" Wen Xin was also anxious.
Gu Qingqing originally wanted them to go look inside the flowers, but looking at the circle of railings surrounding the flowers, the paparazzi couldn't climb over them.
Gu Qingqing's eyes had already passed over Dahei's nest, but suddenly she felt something was wrong and looked back.
This is not the time for Dahei to sleep!
Especially when it saw that I was looking at it, with its guilty and evasive look, I remembered that it had just liked those puppies very much.
Gu Qingqing narrowed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth as she said to Wen Xin, "Go look for it in the big black nest."
