"Woof! Woof!"
Just as Fu Wan was about to close the door, she heard Wangcai barking. Turning around, she realized that the dog hadn't eaten her jerky. Instead, it had taken it outside and was barking at the big tree outside.
"Wangcai, what's wrong?"
That's strange, what's Wangcai barking at the tree? Could it be that Xiao Huang is back?
"Woof woof!"
Hearing Fu Wan calling him, Wangcai turned around and looked back twice, then called out even louder.
Fu Wan walked to the tree and looked up. Through the yellowing leaves, she could vaguely see a bird's nest in the branches.
"Little Huang, is that you?"
After a long while, there was still no movement from the tree. Fu Wan sighed. It had indeed been a while since she had seen Little Yellow. She wondered where the bird had gone to play again.
"Woof! Woof!"
Wangcai kept barking persistently, and Fu Wan had no choice but to step forward and persuade him.
"Wangcai, Xiaohuang isn't home. Let's go home quickly."
"Woof!"
Wangcai clearly didn't believe this fact. Fu Wan pulled it back a couple of steps, and it kept turning back and barking every now and then.
Before Fu Wan even stepped into the courtyard, a loud crash suddenly came from the tree behind her.
Fu Wan turned around abruptly, and then a dark shadow landed with a thud. Before she could see it clearly, the shadow had already landed steadily on Wangcai.
"Oh my, Little Huang, it really is you!"
"I thought you weren't here!"
Fu Wan was overjoyed and went forward to pick up Xiao Huang.
In contrast, Wangcai, who had been excited just moments before, became much calmer. He picked up a piece of jerky and pushed it towards Xiaohuang before returning to eat the rest of the jerky himself.
"This jerky is so tough, can you even eat it, Xiao Huang?"
"Chirp!"
Xiao Huang responded and then jumped off Fu Wan's hand, demonstrating to her whether he could eat the jerky.
It pecked at the jerky, and the incredibly hard jerky instantly split in two.
Fu Wan was astonished. Before she could even recover, Xiao Huang had already pecked the jerky into small pieces and started eating it slowly.
But this kind of dried meat was still a bit too dry for a toothless bird. After taking a couple of bites, Little Yellow refused to eat anymore and flew to Fu Wan's shoulder with its wings spread.
"Chirp chirp!"
Little Huang rubbed its head against Fu Wan's cheek, its adorable and cute appearance completely melting Fu Wan's heart!
"The dried meat is too hard, let's not eat it. Let's go to the old house, I'll get you some fresh meat!"
She remembered there was some leftover lean pork from lunch in the kitchen. Since she was going to drive to the old house anyway, she could secretly get some meat for Xiao Huang.
After closing the courtyard gate, Fu Wan led Xiao Huang and strode towards the old house.
The two dogs were engrossed in eating jerky in the yard; they especially loved this hard-textured treat.
They can chew on their food, eat, and pass the time. While eating, the two dogs run wildly in the yard. They live a very happy life.
When they arrived at the main house, Ye Xiaocui and Boss Fu were out and not home.
Fu Ming picked up his car keys and the clothes Fu Wan had given Qin Anning, and was about to leave when he saw Fu Wan coming over. He quickly asked, "Wan, do you want to come with me to pick up Lingling and the others from school?"
"Of course I'll go, brother. Wait a minute, I'll go to the kitchen to get something."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the car."
Fu Ming didn't think much of it and turned to leave.
Fu Wan sneaked into the kitchen like a thief, opened the cupboard, scooped some fresh pork from a plate, and then quickly grabbed Little Yellow, who was hiding in her clothes, and went out.
It wasn't that she wanted to experience what it was like to be a thief, but if Ye Xiaocui caught her feeding pork to Xiao Huang, she would definitely nag her about it.
Only after getting into the car did Fu Wan pat her chest and catch her breath.
Fu Ming sensed something was wrong. "What's wrong? Did you go out and do something bad?"
"Hehe, that's about right! Hurry up and drive, the kids are getting impatient."
Upon hearing this, Fu Ming started the car and drove it out of the village. Only then did Xiao Huang emerge from Fu Wan's coat.
"Chirp chirp!"
"Eat up, eat up! I've practically become a thief for you!"
Fu Wan had no choice but to stretch out her hand towards it.
Before she went into the kitchen, she picked two leaves outside, and the pork was placed on those leaves.
Otherwise, if you take it with your bare hands, oh dear, that would be too dirty.
Fu Ming, who was driving, stared wide-eyed at the sight and exclaimed incredulously, "Holy crap, when did Xiao Huang get back? How did he get hiding in your clothes?"
"And this meat, why does it look so much like the meat Mom bought this morning?"
Look at those shredded meats, he must have cut them at noon!
"Alright, what can I do if the child wants to eat? You know I don't allow Xiao Huang to eat raw meat."
Fu Wan said irritably, and Fu Ming shook his head and sighed.
"Well, that's true. I don't know what Mother was thinking. Little Yellow is a bird of prey, it eats raw meat."
But lately, for some reason, she's been insisting on taking advantage of people she knows well.
Little Yellow doesn't like to eat anymore. Last time, it was so scared by the steamed pomfret Mom fed it that it refused to come home. I haven't seen it for ages!
Fu Ming also complained, and Fu Wan shook her head, "It's probably because Dahuang and the others like to eat cooked meat. Mother thinks raw meat is unhealthy."
"Never mind that, bro, I forgot to ask today, how's my hotel doing?"
"Oh, it's almost finished. The workers were about to top it out before you went to Gangcheng. Uncle Wang brought two apprentices this week and they're scraping the plaster inside. It should be done by now."
Applying putty? Then I should be able to ask someone to buy hotel supplies next.
Fu Wan pondered for a moment and suddenly remembered the contact information of the mattress manufacturer that she had asked the front desk of the Yangcheng Hotel for. When she went to Gangcheng, she was thinking that the company might not be willing to sell her one or two mattresses. Now that the hotel needed them, at least dozens of mattresses in total, the company would have to do business with her now!
"After the plastering is finished and the water and electricity are connected, you can come with me to the county town to buy the bed and other things."
Fu Wan gave the instructions, and Fu Ming nodded subconsciously, but he still had some doubts.
"Ah Wan, do you really think this hotel you're running can make a profit? The year is almost over, and we haven't had a single tourist come to our village yet!"
Fu Ming said this because he was afraid that Fu Wan's money would be wasted. Fu Wan's hotel was about the same height as their new house, but because it had more rooms, it used more blue bricks and other materials.
So it adds up to quite a bit of money. Now they're saying they need to buy beds and other things. If there are no tourists, they'll lose a lot of money!
"Hey brother, don't worry. Don't you know my eye for talent? Just you wait, next spring, I'll get Su Ran to put up an ad in their newspaper and on TV. By then, there will definitely be a lot of tourists visiting our village's beach!"
"Really? How can you be so sure? Do that many people really like going to the beach?"
Fu Ming was skeptical. They went to sea to make a living, so what were those people coming here for?
