Chapter 63 Home Demolition Expert

Jiang Jianni hadn't paid much attention to the fact that there was another person in the house.

She had to go to work, and Lu Xiangdong was often out, so they basically had no chance to meet except when they returned home at night.

However, in the few times they met, Jiang Jiani noticed a strange phenomenon.

This brother-in-law is very popular with small animals.

He went out for a while on the first afternoon after he returned, and when he came back in the evening, a tabby cat was following him.

The next day it turned into an orange cat again.

On the third day, good heavens! A calico cat with three kittens followed him home.

Jiang Jianni quietly asked Lu Xiangyang what was going on.

Lu Xiangyang: "...I don't know, he's always been good with animals since he was little."

"These small animals are very afraid of people, especially children, and they always stay far away when they see them."

"But ever since I can remember, my older brother has always had small animals around him."

"While others pet cats and dogs, he gets all the cats and dogs to come up to him and rub against him, whether they know him or not."

When Lu's parents went to the countryside, they brought four children with them.

Life on the farm was tough; they never had a proper meal.

At that time, Lu Xiangdong was only nine years old. He would always go outside to catch rabbits, pheasants, sparrows, pigeons and the like to improve the family’s life. He also raided the nests of field mice and the holes of squirrels.

Back then, the whole family was able to stay together only because of Lu Xiangdong.

Lu Xiangdong is popular with small animals, and he also likes small animals.

Those two years were only because we had no choice but to capture our pet animals to supplement our food supply.

After his father was exonerated, he never did such a thing again.

Instead, they started quietly feeding stray dogs and cats outside.

Both brothers had boiled eggs, and Lu Xiangdong would eat half himself and use the other half to feed the cats and dogs.

The three younger ones would also save up some steamed buns, biscuits, and other things for their eldest brother.

Jiang Jiani listened in silence.

To be honest, with Lu Xiangdong's rugged appearance, his unconventional and somewhat nonsensical manner, it's hard to believe he's such a soft-hearted person.

Then something even more surprising happened.

She had just returned home from get out of class, and was still at the gate of the yard when she heard a babyish barking sound.

Jiang Jianni rushed into the house immediately: "I think I heard...a dog...barking..."

Two black and white fluffy balls were rolling around on the ground.

She stared at the two fluffy little creatures, completely mesmerized, her face filled with shock and disbelief: "Alaskas?"

It's still the bear version of Alaska.

One has reddish-brown fur, and the other has gray fur.

Because the fur is so long, the ears are hidden.

They're round and plump, looking like two big fluffy balls.

So, people were already in the pet business and importing foreign breeds as early as 1990?

Lu Xiangdong was surprised: "Ah, you've seen this kind of dog before?"

Jiang Jianni: "...I heard from a college classmate that when they were young, they looked like bears and were used to pull sleds in their hometown, so they were also called sled dogs."

Lu's mother exclaimed in surprise, "College students really know so much!"

If Lu Xiangdong hadn't said anything, she would have thought she had gotten a wolfhound puppy from somewhere—although she had never seen a wolfhound with black and white fur before.

Lu Xiangyang looked thoughtfully at the dog's chubby little legs, which were almost as big as a human hand: "Will this dog be very big when it grows up?"

Small animals all follow a principle: those with thin legs and small feet when they are young will not grow very big when they grow up.

But if a small animal has thick legs and wide feet when it's a cub, forget about it; its size when it grows up will definitely exceed your imagination.

Lu Xiangdong said with great interest, "Yes."

"The person who sold me the puppy told me that it could weigh 70 or 80 pounds when it grows up."

"It will still be fluffy like this when it grows up, and it will be very cute."

He patted the two puppies that were nuzzling against him again, and smiled kindly: "When these two grow up, we'll experience what it's like to pull a dog sled."

"Luckily it snows here in winter, otherwise this dog would be a complete waste."

Jiang Jiani looked like she had a toothache when she heard this.

Lu Xiangyang asked thoughtfully, "Jia Ni, is there something wrong with this dog that we should be careful about?"

Mr. Lu was puzzled: "It's just a dog. Isn't it enough to feed it, give it water, and take good care of it? What else do you need to pay attention to?"

Lu's mother squatted down and rubbed the two dogs' heads: "Yes, these dogs are so cute."

Jiang Jianni took a long breath: "This kind of dog is a working dog, and it has a lot of energy."

"So they need a lot of exercise every day to burn off their energy, otherwise they will use their energy to chew and tear up furniture."

She glanced at the wooden furniture in the Lu family's living room, as if she could see their future: "Alaskan Malamutes, along with Huskies and Samoyeds, are known as the three most destructive dogs in the house."

Lu Xiangdong looked at the dog and then at the furniture: "Destroying the house? With these?"

Lu's mother was also skeptical: "This dog is so cute, how could it possibly destroy the house?"

Jiang Jianni sighed, "Forget it, just let them rest for a few days and we'll see."

"They don't start destroying the house when they grow up; they do it when they're little."

Why.

You won't know how terrifying a demolition expert is until you experience it for yourself.

Lu Xiangyang was also skeptical, so he specifically asked Jiang Jiani about it that night.

Jiang Jianni shook her head: "What's a piece of wood? My classmate said that if their dog doesn't get enough exercise, it will even bite an iron rod."

You believe I can even bite a hole in barbed wire?

The puppy was so cute that, despite Jiang Jiani's serious tone when she spoke, no one took her words seriously.

The next morning, when everyone woke up, they saw that the cushions on the wooden sofa had been dragged to the ground.

Lu Xiangdong grabbed Ala by the back of the neck, his face filled with disbelief: "You did this? What? You really did it?"

"How did you manage to get the cushion off when you were all walking so unsteadily?"

The dog stared at him with its clear, silly eyes, looking completely innocent, and barked a few times because it was uncomfortable.

Lu's mother disliked the mess at home and was a little conflicted: "Then, how about we don't keep it? Let's see who likes it and give it to someone else to keep."

Lu Xiangdong was reluctant to part with it.

He spent two thousand yuan to buy this dog, how could he bear to give it away like this?

Jiang Jianni did not participate in the discussion about whether the dog should stay or leave.

She only ever virtually raised dogs and cats in her past life, and even now, given the opportunity, she doesn't want to raise them herself.

If raised properly, this thing can weigh over 100 pounds.

If she takes a 100-pound dog out on a leash, it's not her walking the dog, it's the dog walking her.

Soon, she lost interest in the dog issue.

She looked at Grandma Jiang with an impatient expression: "So what do you want from me this time?"
