Xie Zhao searched the house for a while before he saw a pair of amber eyes deep inside the cat's den. Jianjian squatted in the cat's den with his paws in his pockets, and remained unmoved no matter how the whole family tried to coax and entice him. When Cheng Yaoyao placed a plate of shredded chicken in front of the cat's den, he just moved his ears, with the word "indifferent" written all over his chubby face.

Grandma Xie was amused and angry: "What a stubborn person you are. You are going to go on a food strike when a dog comes to your house?"

"Hmm!" The stubborn one turned his head and pointed his round butt at everyone.

Cheng Yaoyao suppressed his laughter and deliberately said, "Forget about eating. Let's go back to the room and sleep."

After saying that, he placed the chicken and cat rice at the door of the cat's nest, and everyone left.

The next day, the cat's bowl was completely clean, with not a single bit left. Jianjian had left the cat's den and was squatting behind a stool, not too far away, secretly observing the new fat dog.

The chubby little dog had an ugly long mouth and flat ears, four short legs and a short tail. It followed Xie Zhao and fell down after running a few steps. It also kept whimpering and making a lot of noise.

While Xie Zhao was working in the yard, he had to look down at the dog and occasionally give it a gentle hand to prevent the little fat dog from falling.

The fat little dog simply lay on Xie Zhao's wrist, biting the wooden wedge in Xie Zhao's hand, and then biting Xie Zhao's fingers to grind his teeth. Xie Zhao couldn't do the work at hand, so he stopped and wiped the puppy's saliva.

Cheng Yaoyao came out of the house with her hair tied up and sleepy eyes, just in time to see this scene.

Xie Zhao was wearing a white vest and camouflage pants. The muscles on his shoulders and back undulated and stretched. His brows were drooping with an extremely cold look as he stared at a coquettish little fat dog on his wrist.

Cheng Yaoyao was shocked by the electric shock.

Xie Zhao had already looked over: "Sister, come and feed the puppy after you finish washing up."

Cheng Yaoyao covered his chest and turned his head: "Oh, oh!"

The water for washing face was ready, and the toothpaste was squeezed out. Cheng Yaoyao picked up the toothbrush and brushed his teeth. At the same time, he went over to look at the puppy: "Suck, suck, suck, good morning!"

The puppy threw away Xie Zhao's fingers and happily threw itself onto Cheng Yaoyao. Fortunately, Xie Zhao pinched its hind paw in time, and the puppy had no choice but to drool and cry at Cheng Yaoyao.

Cheng Yaoyao said with some disdain: "It's drooling, why don't you feed it..."

Xie Zhao said: "From now on, you will feed it alone, so that it can recognize you."

Cheng Yaoyao looked up curiously: "Is it useful?"

"Yes." Xie Zhao lifted the hair on her cheek and tucked it behind her ear. Cheng Yaoyao, who had just woken up, had sleepy eyes, rosy cheeks, and some toothpaste foam on her lips, making people want to taste it to see if it was sweet.

In the end, he didn't get to taste it. The fat little dog squeezed in between the two of them, whimpering and making people's hearts melt.

Grandma Xie came out of the kitchen and said, "Oh my! You guys got up so early in the morning and just played with the dog instead of feeding it. It's making so much noise!"

Cheng Yaoyao explained: "We are training the dog."

Grandma Xie yelled, "It's so small, why are you training it? Feed it quickly!"

The first day's dog training plan failed.

Cheng Yaoyao made a bowl of goat milk, added a few spoonfuls of unsalted egg custard, mixed it well, and personally brought it to the puppy. The little fat dog buried his head in the food and ate it in big mouthfuls, not feeling uncomfortable at all, wagging his tail wildly while eating.

Cheng Yaoyao picked up another bowl and placed it in front of the cat's nest, and suddenly said, "Xie Zhao, do you think Jianjian should come closer?"

Jianjian was sitting behind the stool just now, but now he is sitting at the door. He still has an attitude of "I'm just looking at the scenery and I'm not paying attention to you at all", and he is licking his paws slowly.

Xie Zhao: "It likes puppies."

"...I hope so." Cheng Yaoyao was quite skeptical about this.

Sure enough, when everyone was having breakfast in the kitchen, they heard the dog's scream in the yard. Xie Zhao dropped his bowl and rushed out, followed closely by Cheng Yaoyao, who saw the dog rolling on the ground with its face full of milk, and Jianjian was pulling it around with his paws.

The puppy closed its eyes and cried loudly, and the stubborn one even pressed its head with its paws.

Cheng Yaoyao said anxiously: "Stop it, you stubborn one!"

The chicken walked away lazily, then hopped lightly onto the chicken coop to lick its paws. Grandma Xie picked up a broom and chased after him, "You bad boy!"

Only then did Jianjian run away.

The little puppy choked on the milk all over his face, his paws twitching in grievance, and he kept crying. Cheng Yaoyao lifted him up and said angrily: "You are a wolfdog! Why don't you fight back?!"

The little puppy's ears and short tail drooped, and he looked very aggrieved.

Xie Fei said distressedly: "It has been beaten, Sister Yaoyao, please don't talk about it anymore."

Xie Zhao touched the dog's belly and said, "It's not full."

The puppy's food bowl was empty, and you could tell who ate it just by looking at it with your toes. Not only did he get beaten, but his food was also taken away.

Cheng Yaoyao used goat milk powder and egg yolk to steam a bowl of goat milk cake, and fed it to the puppy after it cooled down. The little fat dog stopped crying immediately and ate happily, whimpering while eating.

The family of four gathered around to watch, and Cheng Yaoyao suddenly said, "The barking sounds of our cat and dog are quite strange. Have you noticed?"

"That's not true!" Grandma Xie was the first to defend her, "All puppies bark like that. They will bark when they grow up."

Cheng Yaoyao said: "You said the same thing when Jianjian was little, and he still says 'hmm' now."

Grandma Xie continued to defend him: "Didn't it also meow when it bit Zhao Ge'er?"

Xie Zhao: “?”

The fat little dog actually had a real name: General. Xie Zhao insisted on giving it this name, but no matter how people looked at it, they could not see any potential of a general in it, and they still called it "Chu Chu Chu" or "Little Dog".

Xie Zhao carefully selected this little wolfdog to guard the house and protect Cheng Yaoyao, but it turned out that the dog did not show any guarding skills at all. The dog's stubbornness caused Cheng Yaoyao to roll on the ground with a scratch from its claws. The big rooster in the house also bullied Cheng Yaoyao and flapped its wings, causing Cheng Yaoyao to cry and complain to Xie Zhao with its tail tucked between its legs.

Now the whole family calls it: Xie Chunchun.

Cheng Zhan Zhan ran away from home for two days. On the third day, Hongxia brought him back home. It turned out that Zhan Zhan had gone to live with Goudan and was eating all the time. Hongxia was embarrassed: "He is such a glutton. Goudan and Tiedan steal food to feed him every day."

Cheng Yaoyao almost laughed himself to death, and poked his stubborn nose and said, "I told you, you eat so much, you'll be kicked out if you go to someone else's house."

"Meow!" Jianjian opened his mouth and bit Cheng Yaoyao's finger.

Xie Zhao quickly pried open Jianjian's mouth, only to see a little saliva on Cheng Yaoyao's slender jade fingers, without any trace. Jianjian glanced at Xie Zhao arrogantly, but didn't even touch it.

When Jianjian returned home this time, he changed his strategy like a concubine who had studied in Ganlu Temple. He started to act like a spoiled child to the whole family, crawling into Cheng Yaoyao's arms to rub his milk, rubbing against Xie Fei's calves, asking his grandmother to hold him while he ate, and even condescending to let Xie Zhao touch his fur.

In short, no matter who plays with the puppy, Jianjian will immediately rush into that person's arms and act coquettishly. Once, when he saw Cheng Yaoyao lifting up the puppy to play, he insisted that Cheng Yaoyao lift the puppy up high.

Cheng Yaoyao lifted it once, and couldn't even hold his chopsticks steady while eating. He said to Xie Zhao solemnly, "Have you ever tried to lift a dumbbell?"

Xie Zhao: “?”

Jianjian's plan to regain favor brought both enjoyment and headache to the whole family. However, the naive Xuxu didn't notice it at all and kept chasing after Jianjian, treating him as a playmate.

Every day when Jianjian eats, he always tries to eat from Xunxun's bowl. Xunxun not only doesn't guard the food, but also wags his tail to watch him eat. Xunxun has not even had time to sit on the new mat that Xie had sewn, but Jianjian pushes him away. He also grins and rubs against Jianjian affectionately.

Cheng Yaoyao couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he grabbed Xie Zhao and shook him: "Is this the vicious wolfdog you mentioned?"

Xie Zhao said calmly: "When he grows up a little, he will become fierce when he is one month old."

Cheng Yaoyao saw that Xun Xun was about to be beaten again, and said, "No, I'll go beat up Jian Jian!"

Just as she was about to stand up, she was pulled down to sit on Xie Zhao's lap. Xie Zhao said, "No, you better finish the questions."

Cheng Yaoyao had no choice but to pick up the pen and finish the questions one stroke at a time.

Now that she doesn't have to go to work, Xie Zhao has been free these days and has started to urge Cheng Yaoyao to study. The two of them started reviewing a year earlier, and with the set of review questions, Cheng Yaoyao could have done these questions a long time ago, but she didn't have the patience and would not do them obediently unless Xie Zhao watched her.

Xie Zhao's embrace was warm, and Cheng Yaoyao leaned back on his chest, feeling quite comfortable. She did a few questions and suddenly looked at the door: "Grandma won't come in suddenly, right?"

"No," Xie Zhao added, "the door is locked."

Cheng Yaoyao said angrily: "Why lock the door in broad daylight? It's nothing, but grandma really thinks we are doing something bad! Go open the door quickly!"

Cheng Yaoyao's worry was not without reason. Ever since the story of Cheng Nuonuo and Shen Yan spread in the village, families with daughters in the village began to be wary, especially of the male educated youth from the city.

Although Cheng Yaoyao and Xie Zhao were engaged, Grandma Xie was still very cautious and would not allow Xie Zhao to stay alone in Cheng Yaoyao's room to review at night. If he insisted on studying, she would let Xie Fei come along as well.

Xie Zhao went to open the door, and Jianjian and Xun Xun chased each other and sneaked into the house. Xun Xun had short legs, so he clung to the doorstep and kept barking. Jianjian ran back and meowed at him in disgust. Xun Xun used his hind paws to push against the doorstep, but still couldn't get through.

Just as Xie Zhao was about to help, Jianjian pushed it over with one paw, and the puppy fell head over heels.

Xie Zhao: “…”

Tuntun rolled on the ground angrily, shook his head, and chased after him excitedly with his tongue sticking out. Together with Jianjian, they jumped and acted coquettishly beside Cheng Yaoyao's legs.

Jianjian rushed into Cheng Yaoyao's arms first, with her body spread out, glancing proudly at the fat dog on the ground. Xie Zhao then picked up Xun Xun.

Grandma Xie was washing vegetables in the yard. She saw this and said, "You're teasing the cat and the dog again! Have you finished reading today?"

"I've finished reading." Xie Zhao said, "I've also done the test paper."

Grandma Xie was skeptical: "Don't mention Yaoyao's cover-up. I see that she only knows how to tease cats and dogs every day."

Cheng Yaoyao stuck out his tongue forcefully, with the same frightened expression.

Xie Zhao used his back to block her and said to Grandma Xie, "Grandma, I'm going to the city this afternoon. Is there anything you need to bring?"

"Nothing, we have everything at home." Grandma Xie wiped her hands and said, "Zhao Ge'er, come here."

Xie Zhao handed Xun Xun to Cheng Yaoyao and walked to Grandma Xie's side.

Grandma Xie first glanced at Cheng Yaoyao in the room, then whispered, "Go to the city this afternoon and send a telegram to Yaoyao's family."

Xie Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly: "The team will notify you."

Grandma Xie said, "The brigade is the brigade, and Yuanyao is Yuanyao. She has a relationship with Cheng Nonuo after all. If Cheng Nonuo gets into trouble and Yuanyao doesn't say a word, she will be blamed by her father."
