...
Song Yanzhi went to pick up Xiaobao from school and was startled by him.
Xiao Bao was holding a dirty little dog, which he had picked up from somewhere.
She looked like she'd only been there for a month or two, and right now she was huddled in his arms, shivering.
"Mommy," Xiao Bao said, holding the puppy and looking at her hesitantly, "I found a puppy."
Song Yanzhi always thought that her son was rather cold-hearted and not very interested in anything.
But now she sees pity and tenderness in Xiao Bao's eyes.
She instantly understood, "You want to raise it?"
Xiao Bao hesitated for a moment. He felt sorry for the puppy being thrown into the trash can, as if it had been abandoned by the whole world.
Just like I used to be.
"Mom, can I?"
Tiezhu chimed in, "Auntie, this puppy ran into our classroom. Chen Jinbao and the others threw it in the trash can. I saw it."
Song Yanzhi frowned. Wang Xia's son?
She still had some memory of the child.
How could someone so young be so vicious?
She thought about it and realized that she had a yard at home where she could raise the baby. When the baby grew up, it could also guard the house. She wouldn't have any more children in the future, so this would be a good opportunity to keep the baby company.
She first looked at Tiezhu and asked, "Do you want to keep Tiezhu as a pet?"
"I want to keep it, but my grandma won't allow it. She's afraid of dogs." Tie Zhu was very reluctant, but he thought that it was okay for Xiao Bao to keep it, and he could help him take care of the puppy.
"Then let's take it back and raise it. It'll be safer to have a dog."
Owning a dog can also cultivate patience and perseverance in children, and it can also accompany them as they grow up.
The dog looked so dirty and smelled terrible; it's amazing my son could stand it.
Song Yanzhi told him to put the puppy in the bicycle basket, and the puppy was obedient, staying quiet and huddled up.
Song Yanzhi told Xiaobao and Tiezhu to say goodbye, and then the mother and son rode away on their bicycles.
Back home, Xiao Bao was very excited and took the puppy to get a bath.
Song Yanzhi went to Aunt Wang's house next door to ask her to pass on a message: the things had been returned to Pei Hai. She wanted to let the girl know so that she could feel at ease.
As soon as Xiao Bao entered the house, he found that his father had returned.
He was so happy that he took the puppy and showed it off to Pei Yuchen.
"My mother told me to raise it."
Pei Yuchen had just arrived home and had only just put his things down.
Now he rushes home as soon as he finishes work.
I wanted to spend more time with the mother and son.
I never expected to see Xiao Bao bring home a little puppy.
These days, many people in rural areas keep dogs, not only for guarding their homes, but also for food.
There are relatively few of them kept in the city.
Where did you get it?
Xiao Bao said, "I found it at school."
Song Yanzhi happened to walk back, saw him, and was taken aback for a moment, "Why are you back?"
Pei Yuchen said, "It's holiday time."
Song Yanzhi thought to himself that he really had a lot of vacation time.
In their previous life, the two of them treated each other with respect. He never refused invitations from leaders and colleagues, often going out for social engagements and even participating in training work.
Anyway, they don't talk to her at home, and her mind is all on the children.
He was always taciturn, and the two rarely had the opportunity to be alone together.
Looking back, she felt that she was even more of a stranger to him in her previous life than she is now.
"It's good that you're back. I can tell you about your brother."
After saying that, she looked at Xiaobao and said, "Xiaobao, boil some water first before giving it a bath."
Xiao Bao nodded. "I understand, Mom."
Song Yanzhi thought for a moment, then looked at the little guy and said seriously, "Since you want to raise a puppy, you have to take good care of it in the future. A dog is not a toy, and you can't just throw it away if you don't want it anymore. Don't lose interest after raising it for a couple of days and then give up. That's not right. You have to treat the dog like you would your own family member. It's still small, so you have to feed it, clean its doghouse, and train it, understand?"
Xiao Bao nodded vigorously and promised, "Mom, I will take good care of the puppy."
Song Yanzhi nodded, "It won't work to just call it a puppy. You should give it a name."
Xiao Bao said, "I've already thought it through."
Song Yanzhi asked in surprise, "Have you thought it through?"
"Okay." Xiao Bao nodded. "Call her Xiao Hua."
After he finished speaking, he held up the puppy to show her. The puppy's back was black and white, like little flowers.
Song Yanzhi smiled and said, "If you like it, that's fine. But after the bath, you still need to deworm the dog. I'll have your dad take you out to buy deworming medicine for the dog later, otherwise the fleas on the dog won't be washed off."
Xiao Bao nodded seriously, clearly having taken it to heart.
Pei Yuchen could tell that he really liked him; usually when he came home, Xiao Bao's attention would be on him.
However, he is clearly not receiving as much attention today as before.
The elderly father felt a pang of sadness.
He gently patted Xiao Bao's head and said, "After Daddy and Mommy finish talking, we'll take you there."
Xiao Bao nodded.
After the two entered the house, Song Yanzhi began to talk about Pei Hai and the two children.
Pei Yuchen, however, was focused on something else, "Xu Dali?"
Song Yanzhi nodded. "You know him?"
Pei Yuchen looked at her and said, "There was a crackdown recently, and the Xu family was among them. Apparently, someone reported them for gambling."
"However, Xu's father clarified that it was just friends playing around and not involving money, so the matter was over."
The Xu family is quite powerful, with connections spanning three generations.
Therefore, with the current crackdown, families like theirs should set an example even more.
