Chapter 026: The past cannot be changed, but the future can still be pursued
In a good mood? Him? Xie Jian hadn't known what it felt like to be in a good mood for a long time.
"By the way, someone has ordered couplets for a housewarming celebration. Please write two, 50-50, as usual. I've already prepared the pens and ink for you." Shopkeeper Ge said that Xie Jian's calligraphy was quite good, with the basic elements of Yan Jing and Liu Gu. Ordinary people didn't need the works of masters, just beautiful calligraphy that matched the occasion.
Xie Jian nodded and entered the study on the left.
There were five small dogs in the backyard, all of them yellow in color. The female dog was tied with a rope. She didn't bark when she saw strangers, but sat lazily in front of the doghouse. Until Xiao Xie Min went to catch one of the puppies, she immediately stood up, looked at him vigilantly, and then started barking wildly.
"Ah Huang, don't shout." The voice of Shopkeeper Ge came from the study.
Ah Huang? Chen Heng was so amused by this that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Did everyone name these local dogs so casually? It was either Da Huang or Ah Huang. Then, curiously, she asked her nephew, "Min'er, what did you name this puppy after you brought it home?"
"Just call me Xiao Huang."
Chen Heng: "..." Seeing the little guy checking the dog's eyes, ears, and legs from time to time, Qi Qi asked: "What are you looking at?"
Little Xie Min put down the puppy in his hand and said, "This is not Dahuang's child." Then he went to grab another puppy.
The five puppies had already run to the female dog, who bared her sharp fangs and barked at little Xie Min with a fierce look on her face.
Hearing the dogs barking, shopkeeper Ge came in and put the female dog in the cage. He then said to her, "Why are you barking? I need to find a home for the puppies. I don't have enough food to feed them. If you bark again, I'll throw all the puppies away."
The bitch whimpered.
Shopkeeper Ge smiled and said to Xie Minyu: "Okay, play as you like, but be careful, a puppy's bite hurts too."
"I understand. Thank you, Uncle Ge." Little Xie Min said crisply.
"Your little mouth is sweeter than your uncle's."
Chen Heng also agreed with this point. Little Xie Min was quite good at calling people. His voice was sometimes soft and sometimes crisp, which was quite cute.
At this moment, a customer called out from the shop in front: "Is the shopkeeper here?"
"Coming." Shopkeeper Ge responded and trotted over.
Soon, little Xie Min chose one of the puppies: "Auntie, I want this one."
"Is there any difference between this one and the others?" Chen Heng thought they were all little yellow dogs, the chubby ones were quite cute, and there was no difference except for the darker and lighter colors on their bodies.
"Our Dahuang has a yellow body and white face, with a little white spot on each eye, slightly curved ears, and a curled tail." Little Xie Min happily pointed at the puppy in his arms and said affectionately, "This must be Dahuang's child. From now on, he will be called Xiaohuang."
The puppy was a little resistant at first, but when it saw Xiao Xie Min approaching it and being very intimate, it surrendered in less than a second and nestled comfortably in his arms.
This must be a purebred Chinese pastoral dog. Chen Heng looked at it carefully. It seems that it is difficult to find a purebred one in modern times. It is quite good-looking, and she couldn't help but touch it.
"Auntie, I want to play with these puppies." said little Xie Min.
"Then we'll go out when your uncle comes to call you. You can play here while auntie goes to read a book. It's right over there." Chen Heng pointed to the library with a window next to it, which happened to be visible through the window.
"good."
Wanjia Bookstore is a large rectangular room, divided into three spaces by bookcases as walls, while each space can be seen clearly from the other.
