Chapter 3, Chapter 3: Dog In-Laws?
To be honest, the trouble caused by her dog son occupied almost all of Yan Yuehe's mind.
Although the two had met a few times because of the dog, they had never spoken to each other, let alone gone back to the community together to put the dog back on its leash.
Apart from knowing each other's dog's name, they were complete strangers.
Oh right, he doesn't even know Fatty's name.
And now, this complete stranger has managed to find her precisely among so many residents.
This is something that shouldn't be thought about too deeply; the more Yan Yuehe thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.
Seeing that she was staring blankly at her phone, the chubby little dog, who hadn't gotten any snacks, let out a loud "woof" in frustration.
Meanwhile, Atlas's dad, whom I had just added, sent me a freshly updated medical report.
"Atlas is fine for now. He can go to the hospital in three weeks to confirm whether he is pregnant."
Every sentence revolves around Atlas.
But does this mean she and Pangbao should go together in three weeks?
Yan Yuehe glanced at her greedy son who was still nagging her, and decided to speak her mind.
After all, she still needs to spend some time with her dog son in order to clean up his mess.
"It's good that everything is alright. Please send me the money for today's checkup, and I'll transfer it to you."
"There's one more thing I'm curious about."
How did Atlas's dad know where Fatty's house was?
Yan Yuehe felt embarrassed after she finished speaking, as her words were indeed somewhat offensive.
To cover up the impoliteness, Yan Yuehe even searched for a curious puppy emoji and sent it over.
She waited half an hour, maybe longer, before receiving a reply from Atlas's father.
"You fat dog."
"Find the way."
Yan Yuehe: ……
I breathed a sigh of relief, and my heart settled back down.
But now she was certain that Atlas's father had deliberately called her dog son Fat Dog, and hadn't simply misremembered the name.
Yan Yuehe was right.
Gou Qing really didn't like her Chinese rural dog.
The reason Atlas was put in charge of the Chinese rural dog was because he liked it.
Was it afraid he would hit that fat dog?
Gou Dan has no children of his own, but he has already experienced the pain of his daughter's "early romance" and falling in love with "Yellow Hair".
He disliked the fat dog, and by extension, he was also somewhat critical of the dog's mother.
He didn't even bother with a polite word and simply threw the bill at the other party.
Yan Yuehe transferred the money.
The amount is accurate to the cent.
Forgive her for her accuracy, but her wallet has shrunk to a pitiful state.
Atlas's father clicked "payment received".
That's all.
Yan Yuehe finally ended all social activities.
She rubbed against her dog son a couple of times, then quickly washed up.
After washing up, instead of resting, she put on her headphones and played her ongoing inspiration music library.
The moment the song reached her ears, she began to move.
To raise her dog son well and earn lots of money, she has to work hard.
When Yan Yuehe gets busy, she forgets about time. She often sacrifices sleep and mealtimes to immerse herself in her own comic book world.
The advantage of living alone is that no one will restrain her.
She didn't know how much time had passed when the music in her headphones was suddenly replaced by the mechanical, monotonous ringing of a telephone.
Yan Yuehe hurriedly answered her mother's phone call.
"Nongnong, I've arrived at the entrance of your new residential area. Come and meet me here."
Yan Yuehe forgot to tell her mother that the surgery had been canceled.
She quickly washed her face, grabbed a dress from the closet, and took Fatty's hand to pick up her mother.
Fatty gets really excited whenever we go out, but today he got a little too excited.
As soon as we stepped outside, I dragged my elderly mother, who hadn't slept all night, into a parkour adventure.
Yan Yuehe shouted a few times to no avail; her dizzy brain was forced to wake up by another dog barking.
How could I possibly run into a Border Collie princess in my neighborhood at this hour?
Yan Yuehe greeted him nervously: "Good morning, Atlas's dad."
The sun hung brightly in the sky, radiating brilliant light; it was clearly close to lunchtime.
Gou Qing disliked this title. He and Atlas were two separate entities. Although he psychologically regarded Atlas as a child, he never referred to himself as his father.
Moreover, he clearly gave his name yesterday.
Yan Yuehe saw the man purse his lips, lower his brows slightly, and remind her with a hint of displeasure, "It's time to change how you address me."
She was at a loss, unsure of how to begin.
Change the way you address me? Change it to what?
The two puppies were already barking enthusiastically at each other over there.
Looking at the two puppies seemingly in love, a thought suddenly struck her. With a hint of uncertainty, she tentatively called out, "Dog in-laws?"
In-laws?
Gou Qing lowered her eyelashes, glancing at her again and again.
The dress she casually picked up today was a bright pale yellow, with a cinched waist and a pleated skirt that cascaded down to just cover her knees.
Yan Yuehe doesn't have a striking appearance; her features are very plain, and the only striking thing about her is her skin tone.
Due to genetics and her reluctance to go out, her fair complexion is exceptionally striking, to the point that it truly glows.
The dazzling pale yellow mixed with the soft pink and white is very eye-catching.
Just like her fat, yellow-haired dog.
Gou Qing didn't consider himself to be the kind of Border Collie that was easy to coax.
He raised his chin, his black hair rustling slightly, tugged at the leash, and said in a deep voice, "Atlas, go home."
As soon as Atlas moved, Fatty wiggled his chubby bottom, trying to follow.
Yan Yuehe hurriedly controlled her dog son: "Pangbao, stop. We're not going that way, we're going to pick up Grandma, Grandma must have brought a big bone for our Pangbao..."
Fatty was barking loudly at the exquisite Border Collie, but when he heard the words "big bone," he immediately stopped barking, grinned at his mother, stuck out his tongue, and drooled all over Yan Yuehe's hand.
Yan Yuehe: ...Not only is he a lecherous dog, but he's also a gluttonous dog.
Ms. He Yanli had been waiting at the gate for a long time.
There were several bags and pouches at her feet, all supplies for her daughter and grandson.
As He Yanli looked up, the sturdy yellow dog grinned and excitedly ran towards her.
If it weren't for her daughter being pulled down by the rope, He Yanli reckoned she would have been knocked over by the fat dog too.
The puppy circled the bag greedily, and Yan Yuehe called out breathlessly, "Mom."
Ms. He Yanli took out a tissue from her pocket, grabbed her daughter's face and wiped her sweat, looking her over as she did so: "Oh dear, you've lost weight again."
Ms. He Yanli's movements were not delicate, and Yan Yuehe obediently closed her eyes and dared not resist: "You haven't lost weight, you weigh the same as when I last saw you."
"How could Mom's eyes be wrong?" Ms. He Yanli had her own standards of judgment. She rambled on, "All the weight has gone to Fatty Bao. Have you been staying up late again these past few days?"
Before leaving the house, Yan Yuehe specifically checked her eyes in the mirror. They were indeed a bit dark, but not noticeably so.
She closed her eyes and lied, "I didn't stay up all night."
He Yanli pointed and asked, "Then what is this? Did it grow out of thin air?"
Yan Yuehe continued to lie: "Mom, those are eye bags."
The weather was hot, and the mother and daughter finally headed home.
On the way, Yan Yuehe confessed to her mother that the surgery had been canceled.
After hearing about Pangbao's deeds, Ms. He Yanli gave it a good slap on its chubby bottom. Pangbao let out a "whoop" and immediately bared its teeth.
Ms. He Yanli scolded the little fat dog: "You were born at a good time. If it were a few decades earlier, you would have been arrested and locked up for hooliganism."
Yan Yuehe looked at her with heartache and said, "Mom, it's not that bad."
“We can’t spoil it.” He Yanli couldn’t stand her daughter’s lack of temper. “If you don’t discipline it now, it might give you dozens of dog dolls later.”
Yan Yuehe dared not speak up in her defense.
He Yanli said, "The local dogs are the most intelligent and cunning. They just take advantage of your soft heart. Do you think they dare to beg for food in front of me?"
Yan Yuehe blinked and said honestly, "You didn't even need to ask for it; you've already prepared everything for it."
Fatty wagged its tail wildly. Its grandma had a sharp tongue but a soft heart; she made all the big bones and small clothes herself.
He Yanli was annoyed by the two of them, one big and one small.
Although the sterilization surgery has been cancelled, today is still Fatty's first birthday.
Ms. He Yanli was busy muttering curses under her breath: "Why celebrate a dog's birthday?"
Yan Yuehe quickly covered Pang Bao's ears, and after she finished scolding, she smiled and whispered in Pang Bao's ear: "Grandma is making you a birthday cake, a big bone cake."
When Fatty heard about the big bone, he started doing parkour in the house.
Yan Yuehe was well-prepared and even bought a small cake hat.
Thanks to Ms. He Yanli, Yan Yuehe and Pang Bao both ate their fill.
After seeing her mother off, Yan Yuehe sat on a recliner in the yard and began editing her WeChat Moments.
She searched online for many birthday wishes for puppies, but none of them were quite satisfactory.
When it was finally posted, it only contained a few simple words: "A memento of my first birthday."
The accompanying picture shows a chubby baby wearing a tiny cake hat, sitting behind a big bone and drooling.
Yan Yuehe closed her eyes in the recliner, the sound of a puppy digging in the dirt occasionally reaching her ears.
She felt very happy.
When she woke up after a good night's sleep, the sky had already turned gray.
Yan Yuehe doesn't have the habit of checking her phone as soon as she opens her eyes. She first fed Pangbao some food and then drank a few sips of warm water herself.
Yan Yuehe clicked on it.
Her college roommates joked, "Has a missing person returned?"
Some people were curious about her dog: "Do you own it? Is it a stray dog you picked up?"
At the very end, her dog in-laws actually appeared.
A simple "?"
Another line: "Learning from me?"
A note from the author:
Yan Yuehe: ?
