In a bamboo cage made of fine bamboo, there are two furry native dog puppies, one with yellow and white fur, and the other with light brown fur.
Because of the cold weather, the two puppies huddled together, their little bodies shivering, and their wet eyes looked pitifully at every passerby.
Yun Mo took a look, walked over, but couldn't help looking back, feeling a little hesitant.
After hearing that Peng Fang had run to Huang's house to steal bacon, she came up with the idea of buying two guard dogs and raising them in the Huang's house.
But when she heard Huang Qingning say that there were many dog thieves in the countryside, she gave up the idea of raising a dog.
"Wife, do you like those two puppies?"
Seeing her looking back frequently, Ling Chuan couldn't help but ask.
Looking at the man's stern eyes, Yun Mo suddenly calmed down and said, "Well, I want to buy two for my grandparents to look after the house."
"Then let's go ask."
Seeing Yun Mo approaching, the two puppies wagged their short tails desperately and whimpered in their throats, which made Yun Mo feel soft in her heart.
"Old man, how do you sell this puppy?"
"Two dollars a piece."
Seeing that business was coming, the old man selling the puppies couldn't stop smiling, and he kept bragging about the two puppies, saying that they were authentic guard dogs, obedient, human-like, and so on.
Yunmo bought both puppies.
After paying the money, Yun Mo and Ling Chuan each took one and left.
Just as the old man said, the two puppies were really gentle and obedient. They nestled in Yunmo's arms without moving, only licking the back of Yunmo's hand with their tongues from time to time to please her. They looked silly and cute.
When they reached a place where there was no one, Yun Mo secretly took some spiritual spring water with her palm and fed it to the two puppies.
After drinking the spiritual spring water, the two puppies soon fell into a deep sleep.

At the Xie family's side, Xie Xia had just arrived home and was sitting on the sofa unpacking a package.
Xie Jinghuai came up to her without her noticing, "Sister, what is this?"
“Zongzi box, does it look good?”
Xie Jinghuai picked up the rice dumpling box and looked it over, a hint of curiosity on his fair and delicate face, "What is this made of?"
"It's made of bamboo."
“Who wrote this?”
"Momo."
Xie Jinghuai showed a little surprise on his face, "She can do this?"
Xie Xia jumped over and asked, "What do you mean by she? Doesn't she know how to call for help?"
Xie Jinghuai widened his eyes in frustration, but was finally defeated by his sister's cold look and whispered, "Sister Momo."
Xie Xia was satisfied. "How about it? Does this zongzi box look good?"
Xie Jinghuai was angry and threw the rice dumpling box to Xie Xia with a nonchalant look, "It's so ugly, it doesn't look good at all!"
Xie Xia smiled and said, "Forget it. I wanted to ask Momo to make a kite for you, but since you think it's ugly, I won't bother her."
Xie Jinghuai slowly retracted the foot he had already stepped out, turned around, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his little face.
"Sister Momo also knows how to make kites?"
Xie Xia crossed her arms calmly, "Do you think making a kite is harder than making a rice dumpling box?"
Xie Jinghuai picked up the zongzi box again, his face showing seriousness, "Sister, I think the shape of this zongzi box is simple but not simplistic, generous and beautiful, with elegant colors and exquisite craftsmanship. It is indeed a rare and fine product."
"That's a good compliment."
Xie Jinghuai showed a bit of flattery on his face, "Sister, can you ask Sister Momo to help me make an Aiolia kite?"
"I'll ask you sometime."
"Thank you, sis!"
"Hello."
Yun Mo on the other end of the phone seemed particularly happy when she heard Xie Xia's voice. "Sister Xia, it's me. Did you get the rice dumpling box?"
"Yes, I got it."
Feeling Yun Mo's happiness, Xie Xia couldn't help but smile. "I've seen the rice dumpling box. It looks pretty good. I think my dad will like it too."
Yun Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister Xia, please show the rice dumpling box to Uncle Xie. I will call you again at this time tomorrow to hear Uncle Xie's opinion."
"Okay, but he's not home right now. He probably won't be back until the evening."
"OK."
Afterwards, Xie Xia briefly asked about her recent situation in Anshi City. When she was about to hang up the phone, someone suddenly pulled the hem of her clothes.
Facing her brother's eager and pleading eyes, Xie Xia cleared her throat and said, "Momo, can you make a kite?"
Yun Mo thought for a moment and said, "It should be no problem. I can learn from my grandpa."
"My brother likes Saint Toya Aiolia and wants you to help her get a tattoo..."
After Xie Xia hung up the phone, Xie Jinghuai showed a bit of impatience on his face, "What did Sister Momo say?"
“It’s not a big problem.”
YES!
Xie Jinghuai clenched his fists, and his fair face flushed slightly with excitement.

In Lu'an Town, Yun Mo and Ling Chuan came out of the post office after making a phone call.
"Wife, what does the Xie family say?"
"Uncle Xie is not at home, but Sister Xia seems to be quite satisfied with the rice dumplings, so it shouldn't be a problem."
"That's good."
Yun Mo stroked the furry head of the puppy in her arms and said, "Let's find a place to eat first, and then go to the blacksmith shop."
"good."
After lunch, it was still early, so Yun Mo took the puppy with Ling Chuan to stroll in the alleys of the town to digest the food.
As she was walking around, Yun Mo saw a bathhouse in front of her and immediately couldn't walk anymore.
During the days she returned to Huang's house, she only took a bath once because it was too cold. She used a large wooden bucket filled with hot water and squatted in the toilet to bathe.
Not to mention the stench, the main thing is that it's cold, making people shiver.
So she didn't even wash herself, she just wiped her body with a hot towel and quickly put on her clothes.
After learning that the bathhouse was open, Yun Mo immediately handed the puppy to Ling Chuan and rushed into the bathhouse herself.
Yun Mo took a bath in the bathhouse for almost an hour, so long that Ling Chuan was worried that she might have fainted and wanted to rush in to find her.
After coming out of the bathhouse, Yun Mo felt like she had lost two pounds from head to toe, and she walked with a lightness of voice.
Yun Mo was in a good mood and took the two puppies from Ling Chuan's arms, "You can go in and take a shower too, the water is quite hot."
"Wife, wait for me here for a moment. I'll be there soon."
"Don't be so anxious. Take your time and wash your body clean."
Could it be that he smelled bad, so his wife asked him to wash it clean? After taking off his clothes, Ling Chuan couldn't help but lower his head and smell his body several times.
In fact, Lingchuan was overthinking it. Yun Mo just felt that it was impossible to take such a comfortable hot bath in the countryside, so she asked Lingchuan to take a good bath.
When Lingchuan came out of the bathhouse, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
The man who had just taken a shower looked much fresher and more handsome than usual. He was pleasing to the eyes. Yun Mo couldn't help but look at him dozens of times.
