Luo Li stroked the puppy's wet fur and said, "Mom, can we get them something to eat?"

"They are too small to eat solid food, they can only drink milk."

Luo Li frowned: "Where are we going to get the milk?"

"Wait here for a moment."

Xiao Yunying went into the kitchen and took out two of the smallest baby bottles and a can of goat milk powder from the supermarket.

I prepared two bottles of goat milk according to the instructions on the bottle, cooled them down with cold water, and returned to the yard: "Give this to them to drink."

"Is this milk? Mother, where did you get it?"

Xiao Yunying gave Luo Li a baby bottle: "You don't need to know where it comes from. It's goat milk. Give the puppy this when it's hungry."

Xiao Yunying used the baby bottle in her hand to teach the children how much to prepare each time and how to feed them: "Make sure to test the temperature carefully so as not to burn them."

She handed the baby bottle to Luo Xin: "You guys feed it. I'll go cook. Remember to bring the puppy inside after you're done feeding it; it'll get too cold at night."

Luo Li quickly nodded: "I remember, I won't forget."

After handing over the task of feeding the dogs to the children, Xiao Yunying washed her hands and prepared to cook dinner.

It seems that every child is born with a love for small animals. Even after finishing their meal, the children still gathered around the basket, including Luo Chen and Luo Yang, who stood by watching.

A whimpering little puppy, I don't know what's so interesting about it.

As it grew dark, the children went to wash up at Xiao Yunying's urging, and Luo Li took the puppy back to the house.

I slept well all night.

After spending two days idly at home, on the day she had agreed to meet Cheng Yue to pick up her new cotton-padded clothes, Xiao Yunying filled her basket with stuffed pure meat sausages and dried sausages that had been drying all day.

He tried on the clothes at Jinxiu Pavilion, and they fit him well. He gave the sausage to Cheng Yue and told her how to eat it. Then he carried a full basket of clothes out the door.

After putting her cotton-padded coat into the supermarket in the alley around the corner, Xiao Yunying shook the empty basket on her back and headed onto the main road to the market.

"It seems like there's nothing we need to buy. We have everything we need at home. How about we go buy some meat?"

It's still early, and going back to the oxcart would just be waiting around. Let's wander around the market and maybe we'll find something new and interesting.

I glanced inside as I passed by Huiweilou and saw that some passing businessmen were already eating there.

"Business is good, but I don't know how to find out the turnover."

Why don't we wait until the first batch of vegetables arrives and ask about it then? Asking directly would be too obvious.

Chen Yuancheng sat by the window on the second floor, poured himself a cup of tea, and looked out the window, seeing that Xiao Yunying had already passed the door.

It was too late to go downstairs and call her, so in desperation I called out to her from the window.

"Yun Ying".

Xiao Yunying stopped and looked around. It seemed like she heard someone calling her.

"Yun Ying, up there."

Xiao Yunying turned around and looked up at the sound: "Yuan Cheng, it's you. I thought I was hallucinating."

"You wait for me."

Chen Yuancheng went down the stairs and whispered to Ling Qi, "Go and prepare."

"yes."

Ling Qi responded and went to the kitchen.

When Xiao Yunying saw Chen Yuancheng come alone, she asked, "Why did you come out by yourself? Where's Ling Qi? Didn't she come with you today?"

"I just asked him to go to the kitchen and urge them to hurry up with the dessert order. Did you come to the city today for some business?"

"I'm here to pick up what's ready..."

Xiao Yunying stopped mid-sentence; she had put the cotton-padded coat into the supermarket, and she couldn't say anything.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, I'm just here to deliver some sausages to Sister Yunying. It's nothing else."

"If you're free, come upstairs and have a seat, maybe a cup of tea."

“Sure, I was just wondering where to kill time. The oxcart won’t be heading back until noon.”

Chen Yuancheng gestured for Xiao Yunying to enter first, then lowered his head to conceal the deep look in his eyes.

Xiao Yunying took a few steps and, realizing no one was following, turned around and said, "What's wrong? Come in."

Chen Yuancheng looked up, the deep look in his eyes disappearing, replaced by his usual gentleness: "It's nothing. There was some dust on my clothes, I just brushed it off. Let's go inside."

As I passed the counter, I winked at the shopkeeper, who nodded to indicate that he understood.

Chen Yuancheng led Xiao Yunying to a window seat on the second floor. Xiao Yunying put down her basket and sat on the other side where there was no teacup.

Ling Qi returned, nodded to Chen Yuancheng, and placed the four plates of pastries on the table.

Xiao Yunying asked, "Ling Qi, has your young master been going out a lot lately? It seems like I see him every time I enter the city."

Ling Qi's hand trembled, and a piece of pastry rolled off the plate and onto the table.

Chen Yuancheng said, "Rash and impulsive."

Xiao Yunying said, "Don't be mean to him. He didn't do it on purpose. Lingqi, are you feeling unwell?"

Ling Qi tried to make her smile as natural as possible: "No, I just didn't hold it properly. My young master isn't fierce, he just doesn't like wasting food."

Ling Qi picked up a pastry from the table and said, "Young master, don't be angry. I'll eat this pastry."

"Go down now, I'll call you if I need anything."

Ling Qi went downstairs and took a bite of pastry to calm her nerves.

He was terrified. He thought Miss Xiao had seen through the young master's intentions and was asking him on purpose.
