"I understand, I'll teach it properly during this time," Gou Dan said, not worried about the problem at all.
Because Xiao Huang from Da Niu's family is very smart, its siblings must also be smart dogs.
Xia Qingqing knew that Gou Dan was in a hurry to pick up the puppy, so she simply rode her bicycle and took him to Da Niu's maternal grandmother's house.
Grandma Da Niu saw Gou Dan and guessed that he had come to pick up the puppy, so she took them directly to the backyard.
There were clearly two puppies in the backyard, but strangely enough, the puppy that Gou Dan chose immediately wagged its tail and came over to him after seeing him, saying "Awoo~".
It seemed to know that the boy was the one it thought was its owner, and it even affectionately rubbed against Gou Dan's leg.
Dog Egg's heart melted at its cuteness: "Little Black is so good~ I've come to take you home. I'll take good care of you from now on."
Xiao Hei was the name he gave to the puppy last time. Just by hearing the name, you could tell that it was a close relative of Xiao Huang from Da Niu's family.
As for whether Xiao Hei will share a name with his other siblings, he doesn't care that much.
Xia Qingqing stood aside and watched Gou Dan interact with the puppy silently. A smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. She could tell that Gou Dan really liked the puppy, which was why she still supported him even though she knew that raising a dog would be a bit troublesome.
Grandma Da Niu knew they had come by bicycle, so she specially found an old basket for them to put the puppy in and take it back.
"Thank you, Grandma. Don't worry, I will take good care of Xiao Hei," Gou Dan said, clenching his fist.
Grandma patted Da Niu on the head and smiled, "Grandma is very relieved. You are a good child."
Before leaving, Xia Qingqing handed a bag of brown sugar to Grandma Da Niu: "Grandma, this is a small token of our appreciation. Thank you for entrusting the puppy to us."
"No, no, how can I accept such valuable things from you?" Grandma Da Niu said, pushing Xia Qingqing's hand away resolutely.
She picked up her big dog on the street three years ago and has grown attached to it. A while ago, the dog suddenly disappeared for a few days and when it came back, its belly was slowly getting bigger.
She gave birth to six puppies in one go. Since she couldn't keep them all, she decided to keep one for her dog, Dahuang, and give the rest to people who truly love dogs.
I never intended to exchange the puppies for money or anything else.
Xia Qingqing forcefully stuffed the brown sugar into Da Niu's grandmother's hands: "It's not anything expensive, just consider it a gift for our visit. If you don't accept it, we'll be too embarrassed to take your dog."
Gou Dan chimed in, "Yes, Grandma, please accept it. I call you Grandma along with Da Niu. If you don't accept it, you'll be treating me like an outsider."
Since things had come to this point, Grandma Da Niu had no choice but to accept the brown sugar: "You two children, Grandma will shamelessly accept it. Come visit Grandma anytime you have time."
"Okay, Da Niu and I will come to see you sometime," Gou Dan said, smiling and waving goodbye to his grandmother from the back of the bicycle.
On the way back, Da Niu suddenly said, "Sister, I think Da Niu's grandma is especially kind and good to Da Niu. She always saves the best food for Da Niu."
Unlike his grandmother, who used to treat him like a stranger whenever she saw him, ignoring him completely.
He thought that if his maternal grandmother were still alive, she would definitely treat him and his sister very well.
Xia Qingqing immediately understood the hidden meaning in his words; he was envious that Da Niu had such a wonderful grandmother.
She said with a bit of a laugh, "Your parents and I treat you very well. We always save the best food for you. You used to say that all your friends envied you for having such a good older sister."
"Hehe," Gou Dan chuckled a little embarrassedly, having his little secret guessed.
Xiao Hei wasn't used to being home on his first day, and Gou Dan followed him everywhere.
Fortunately, Gou Dan didn't have anything else to do, so he would take Xiao Hei with him whether he was going out to play, eating, taking a bath, or sleeping.
Of course, he didn't forget his mission—to teach Xiao Hei how to use the toilet.
He tried asking Da Niu, who told him that Xiao Huang just went out and found a grassy area to relieve himself.
Xiao Hei has no problem using the toilet now, but there won't be as many grassy areas for it to use in Beijing.
In the end, Xia Qingqing asked Zhou Wei to look up information about dog potty training online.
I trained Xiao Hei for a week using the methods shown in the materials, and now it's starting to show results. Xiao Hei no longer poops everywhere.
As for the other problem of barking and yelling, it's not very obvious with Xiao Hei yet, because this guy doesn't usually like to bark; he only barks when he's stimulated or feels threatened.
Zhang Hongyan had witnessed Gou Dan's efforts, and only then did she believe that Gou Dan's desire to raise a dog was not a whim, but a genuine sense of responsibility towards the dog.
......
During this period, Xia Qingqing didn't really lie around doing nothing all day.
The day after Gou Dan brought Xiao Hei back, she went to the county to discuss a business deal with Xiao Hui.
Xiao Hui was overjoyed when he learned her purpose. Since Xia Qingqing returned, their only two meetings had been rushed. He was just planning to find some time to ask her about it when Xia Qingqing took the initiative to come to his door.
Xia Qingqing didn't waste any words and directly pulled out a blue striped short-sleeved shirt from her bag: "I just got a batch of sailor shirts, are you interested?"
Xiao Hui rolled his eyes with a smile: "Isn't that obvious? There's nothing I wouldn't want if it's in your hands, Boss Xia."
"As expected, Brother Hui is the most straightforward," Xia Qingqing praised with a smile.
Xiao Hui wasn't buying it. He tapped his finger on the table and asked, "How many sailor shirts do you have? What's the price? Let's not beat around the bush, we're old acquaintances."
Xia Qingqing stopped keeping them in suspense and said directly, "I have 1,000 pieces of each style for adults and children. The wholesale price for the adults is 5.5 yuan each, and the price for the children's is 4.5 yuan each. I don't care how many you sell them for."
"Cough...cough, 2000 pieces? Where did you get so many?" Xiao Hui looked at Xia Qingqing in shock.
He thought a few hundred pieces would be good enough, but there were actually 2,000 pieces, which is no small number.
Xia Qingqing glanced at him indifferently: "Never mind where it came from, just tell me whether you want it or not. If you can't eat this much, I'll find someone else."
"Yes, of course I want it, but the price..." Xiao Hui was interrupted by Xia Qingqing before he could finish speaking.
“The price is non-negotiable. You said we’re old acquaintances, so I should make a profit after all the hard work I put into getting this stuff.”
