Besides, my younger siblings all look eager to try, so let's give them the chance.

"Could you guys help me think of some suitable names for the two puppies?"

Upon hearing this, the three children immediately became happy and began discussing what name they should give the dog.

The three argued for a long time before finally deciding that the one with the spots would be called Leopard, and the one with the fat head and big ears would be called Fat Tiger.

Sheng Xiping didn't care about the name; both names sounded nice, so he immediately decided to go with this one.

The arrival of two puppies at home delighted Sheng Xitai and his friends, who all squatted down and surrounded the dogs.

Because they used to have dogs at home, they all know the rules and don't pet the dogs much.

Unlike pet dogs of later generations, this silly dog ​​shouldn't be constantly rubbed and played with, as that can cause it to get sick and stunt its growth.

All the children in the Sheng family knew this, but only Sheng Xitai went up and touched it a couple of times.

The others were just curious, but no one bothered to hold the dog or play with it.

It was getting late, so Sheng Xiping escorted Zhou Qinglan back to the Tang family home.

The houses belonging to the collective households are not yet fully repaired; it will probably take another four or five days.

Once the repairs are complete and the kang (heated brick bed) is dry, according to the requirements from above, all the educated youth will have to move to the collective households.

In September, it gets dark early; it's already quite dark outside at around seven o'clock.

The two walked hand in hand, chatting as they went, and soon arrived at the gate of the Tang family.

"Hurry up and move to the collective household registration. Then we'll all live in the same compound."

Looking at the Tang family residence so close by, Sheng Xiping couldn't help but mutter something.

Actually, what he really wanted to say was, "Let's get married already."
