Chapter 221 Little Puppy
They both arrived home.
Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu have both gone to bed.
Chu Mingzhou went to wash up first.
Lin Anan poured herself a cup of warm water and sat down to rest for a while. Seeing that the broom in the yard was ignored, she got up and went to the utility room to get it.
When I turned around, I suddenly heard some noise at the door, as if something was calling and humming outside the door.
As she got closer to the door, the noise became louder.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that it was Chu Mingzhou who came out after washing up, Lin Anan pointed at the door and said, "There is something at the door."
Chu Mingzhou frowned, pulled her back a little, and went straight forward to open the door.
"Hey, be careful."
"fine."
When the door opened, there was nothing outside.
wrong!
Lin Anan took two steps forward and looked down. There was a small black ball. Was it a puppy?
"Why... is there a dog here?"
Lin Anan squatted down and looked at the black shadow carefully. She saw that the puppy was dirty, with messy hair and wet eyes. It was looking at her pitifully and making whimpering sounds from time to time.
"This puppy is only one month old at most, and we don't even know whose baby it belongs to." Chu Mingzhou said.
There are very few families who keep dogs in the military compound, and they don't pay much attention to the cats and dogs. It was quite a surprise that a little puppy suddenly came.
Lin Anan stretched out a finger, hesitating whether to touch it, but the little puppy hummed and came closer, sticking to her first.
Lin Anan was confused!
Hey, this furry thing is so cute~
Chu Mingzhou hesitated for only a moment, then reached out and picked up the dog. He closed the door with his other hand and led Lin Anan back to the house. "Go wash up. I'll clean it up."
Lin Anan blinked, with an expectation in her eyes that she herself didn't even notice, "Mingzhou, are we going to take in the dog?"
Chu Mingzhou pondered for a moment and said, "It's cold at night, let's let it stay in the living room tonight. I'll ask who it belongs to tomorrow and send it back."
Lin Anan nodded. Although she felt a little reluctant, she also felt that what Chu Mingzhou said made sense. She turned around and went to wash up.
People are so strange. While taking a shower, Lin Anan started to think about it.
She had never raised an animal before and had no idea what this little thing was.
Just a short while ago, the person opposite her was just a dirty little puppy, but she actually thought it was cute.
When Lin Anan came out after washing up, Chu Mingzhou had already settled the puppy.
It was placed in a cardboard box with some straw inside, which looked quite comfortable.
The puppy was curled up inside, eyes half open and half closed, and seemed to be about to fall asleep.
"Does it want to eat something?" Lin Anan asked softly.
Chu Mingzhou pointed to a small bowl with a chip on it and said, "Very good, he drank some rice soup by himself. You can't feed such a small dog carelessly."
Lin Anan walked to the cardboard box, squatted down, hesitated, stretched out a finger, and gently touched the dog's head.
The puppy moved its ears, opened its eyes, looked at her, and rubbed her hand, seeming to enjoy her touch.
"It's so cute. If no one wants it, can we keep it?" Lin Anan looked up at Chu Mingzhou with bright eyes.
Chu Mingzhou remained silent.
"Hmm? Is it okay Mingzhou?"
"good."
Seeing that her face was a little pale, Chu Mingzhou helped her up, stopped her from playing with the dog, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and led her back to the house.
"Woof woof~"
"Wow~ Sister, it likes me!"
The next morning, Lin Anan woke up to the "waah" of a baby and the "woof woof" of a puppy.
When I walked out of the room, I saw Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu squatting on the ground, excitedly teasing the puppy.
The little puppy wagged its tail happily, licked Chu Minglan's hand from time to time, and bit the corner of Chu Mingyu's clothes. It looked so cute.
"Sister-in-law, look, Xiao Hei is so lively!" Chu Minglan said happily when she saw Lin Anan.
"Yes, sister-in-law, Lai Fu can still wag his tail!" Chu Mingyu also echoed.
"Its name is Xiao Hei."
"No, Lai Fu sounds much better."
Lin Anan walked over to them, squatted down, reached out and touched it, and also thought it was cute, "It seems to like you very much."
Chu Mingyu immediately started boasting about how the puppy became so attached to him and how nice he was to him when he saw him.
After playing for a while, the two had to rush to school. They kept looking back and their eyes were all on the dog.
The little puppy was also interesting. It kicked its short legs and tried to keep up. Finally, Lin Anan controlled it with one hand, holding up its belly and letting it flutter in the air.
Although it had been cleaned by Chu Mingzhou, it was still very dirty. It was so small and difficult to give it a bath, so Lin Anan filled a basin with warm water and wiped it for most of the day, making the whole dog wet. She then used a brazier to dry it.
"That's much better." Lin Anan smiled with satisfaction.
The little puppy seemed to enjoy this "care" as well. It lay obediently beside the fire basin, wagging its tail from time to time.
No wonder they say all cubs are cute, even a small black ball is so cute.
While Lin Anan was having breakfast, she fed it some rice soup.
After a bowl of rice soup, the little puppy would stick to her and wouldn't let go, following her wherever she went all morning. If he encountered stairs that he couldn't climb, he would cry in anxiety.
When Lin Anan was sitting at the desk writing, it found a place to sleep nearby. It was very well behaved.
Chu Mingzhou returned earlier than usual near noon. "This dog belongs to Old Li's family in Second Lane. His female dog was stolen and killed for meat. There were four puppies in the litter, and without a female dog to take care of them, his family didn't want to keep them anymore. They threw them all at the foot of the back mountain last night. I don't know how this one got to our doorstep."
"All lost? They were still so young."
"Food is expensive these days, and most people don't like to keep dogs."
Lin Anan glanced at the meat balls surrounding her feet and frowned, "How can such a small dog survive if left outside? What about the other puppies?"
"It's probably going to be a bad time."
"Ah?" Lin Anan gently picked up the puppy at her feet and stroked its head. "Luckily, this little guy is lucky enough to run to our door. Mingzhou..."
Chu Mingzhou glanced at her and said, "If you want to keep it, keep it."
Lin Anan's eyes lit up, "Can you really support the family?"
"Can."
The puppy seemed to understand what they said. It wagged its tail like a propeller and licked Lin Anan's hand.
Chu Mingzhou rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.
"Don't worry, hubby. I'll take care of the little one from now on."
Little dumpling?
Seeing that she really liked him, Chu Mingzhou followed her. His family had a big yard and the little black dog was smart, so it would be a good idea to raise it to guard the house.
Just as Lin Anan and the other person had made the decision, Chu Minglan and Chu Mingyu also came back like a gust of wind.
"Xiao Hei!"
"Laifu."
have to!
Each person has a name and is called by his own name.
The puppy responds to whoever calls him, barks non-stop, and runs very fast with his short legs.
