Chapter 425: Raising a Dog
After Lin Yuzhu and his friend came out of Grandpa Fang's shop, they decided to go back without shopping for long because it was inconvenient to carry the plants with them.
But when she passed by the dog market, she still took a few more glances.
Zhao Yanshu, who was always paying attention to her, noticed it and asked, "What's wrong? Want to buy a dog?"
Lin Yuzhu shook her head and said, "No, it was just that Shuyao and Yanchi told me a few days ago that they wanted to raise one, but I thought about it and decided to refuse.
After all, when you go back to school, there will be no one at home during the day, and it’s not appropriate to keep a dog and leave it at home with no one to take care of it during the day.”
If possible, she actually wants to keep one, after all, she likes small animals very much. But the current situation does not allow it. She can't keep the dog at home every day, which is too inconvenient.
Zhao Yanshu nodded, "Well, then don't raise one. They probably envy their neighbors who have dogs."
Lin Yuzhu also nodded, "Let's wait and see, or we can get a cat first. Cats don't need to be watched all the time. They can climb over the wall to play during the day, and we won't have to keep them there."
"Let's take a look first. Shuyao doesn't seem to like cats very much. Don't you dislike cats too?"
"It's not that I don't like them," Lin Yuzhu shook her head. "I like cats, too, but I don't think cats are as sensible and affectionate as dogs, and I think they can give back emotions more."
"That's true. Cats are hard to get along with. But let's wait a little longer. Maybe it's just a passing thought and they'll forget it after a while."
"Um."
…
Lin Yuzhu originally thought that children have short memories and would forget about raising a dog after a while.
Unexpectedly, before school started, Shuyao came back again and told them that she wanted to have a dog.
But this time she and Gu Jingmo agreed that the child would not be raised in their home, but in the Zhou family.
Lin Yuzhu frowned after hearing this. "Raise it at your Grandpa Zhou's house? Your Grandpa and Grandma Zhou are so old, how can they have the time to take care of the dog for you?"
"They don't have to take care of her. Brother Jingmo and I can take care of her ourselves." Shuyao promised.
"How are you going to take care of it? You have to go to school during the day. Do you want to take the dog to school to take care of it?" Lin Yuzhu asked back.
Shuyao shook her head. "No need. We have already discussed it with Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou. The dog will be tied up and placed in the yard during the day. Grandma Zhou can feed it lunch at noon. We will take it for a walk when we come back in the evening.
And Grandpa Zhou and the others don’t have to pay for its upbringing. My brother Jingmo and I both have New Year’s money, and we calculated that it’s enough to raise it.”
Lin Yuzhu:……
"Have you asked Grandpa Zhou and the others about this?"
"We asked them and they all agreed. We also told them to bathe the dog and teach it to go to the toilet, and never make the house dirty."
Lin Yuzhu didn't expect that they had thought of so many families and seemed to have made up their minds to raise the dog. Since the Zhou family agreed and the dog was to be raised in the Zhou family, she no longer objected.
"Okay, since you want to raise a dog, you have to keep your word. Don't just act on impulse and then throw the dog to your Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou to raise if you don't like it anymore. Got it?"
"Got it, Mom. Don't worry, I will definitely do what I say."
"Okay, have you decided what kind of dog you want to get? Do you want me to take you to the dog market?"
Shuyao shook her head. "No need, Mom. We've already taken care of the dog. We'll be able to pick it up in a couple of days."
"What?" Lin Yuzhu was surprised. "When did you see it? Where did you see it? Why did you take it back? Did you buy it or ask for it?"
"It's the cub born by Grandpa Li's dog!"
"Grandpa Li?"
"right!"
