"Comrade Jiang, are you taking the dog home to keep as a pet?"
Jiang Yue nodded.
"This dog has shiny black fur; it's really well-cared for. Where did you get it?"
Jiang Yue replied with a smile.
"It was a gift from a relative."
She couldn't possibly say that she picked it up on the street.
Hearing that it was a gift from a relative, the sister-in-law was somewhat envious.
However, some people's expressions turned rather unpleasant after seeing this.
"Won't this dog bite?"
Jiang Yue looked up at her when she heard what the person said.
This person seems to be Battalion Commander Zhao's sister-in-law, and seems to have a good relationship with Zhang Yu.
"It is very obedient, but if someone deliberately hits it, then that's not guaranteed."
Jiang Yue knew that some children were mischievous and would often catch chickens and ducks, chasing them away. Sometimes they would even throw stones at them, injuring the chickens and ducks; she had heard of such incidents before.
She said this so that Zhao's wife would spread the word: if anyone dares to throw stones at Xiao Hei and gets bitten, they shouldn't come after her.
The other women, upon hearing Jiang Yue's words, glanced at Xiao Hei and, seeing Xiao Hei squatting obediently, also found the little dog extremely adorable.
A woman came over, a little scared, but wanting to pet Xiao Hei, she asked.
"Comrade Jiang, may I touch its head?"
Jiang Yue nodded.
"Can."
The woman looked at Xiao Hei and slowly reached out her hand, but she was still afraid.
But when she touched Xiao Hei's head, Xiao Hei gently tilted its head, its obedient and adorable appearance emboldening the sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, you can touch its back; it's very obedient."
Hearing Jiang Yue's words, the sister-in-law patted Xiao Hei's back again.
"You can also shake hands with it."
"ah."
The woman looked at Jiang Yue in surprise when she heard what Jiang Yue said.
"Little Black, shake hands."
Little Black immediately stretched out its paw and presented it to its sister-in-law.
The woman looked at Xiao Hei in surprise and shook hands with him.
"My goodness, this dog is so obedient."
The other women also gathered around.
Back in their hometown, they had dogs, but dogs as obedient as this were extremely rare.
The group gathered around, shook hands with Xiao Hei, and patted him.
Jiang Yue didn't expect that she, who rarely spoke to these sisters-in-law, would now have more contact with them through Xiao Hei.
When they returned to the family compound by car, Lu Yu and Jiang Yue were also watched by many people.
"Comrade Jiang, where did you come from?"
Tang Zhaodi liked the dog very much when she saw it. She walked over and asked again.
"Can I pet this dog?"
"Yes, it was a gift from my relative."
Hearing Jiang Yue's words, Tang Zhaodi happily reached out and patted Xiao Hei.
I'd like to try it too.
Lin Ling wasn't as brave as Tang Zhaodi, but seeing Tang Zhaodi reach out and touch Xiao Hei's head, she wanted to try it too.
I'd like to try it too.
Seeing their happy expressions, Jiang Yue smiled and asked Xiao Hei to shake hands with them. She then told Xiao Hei to sit, stand up, and squat down to pick up the things.
A crowd had already gathered outside the courtyard, all of them seeing how obedient Xiao Hei was.
Zhang Yu and Grandma Feng were also in the crowd.
"How come this dog is so obedient?"
"No matter how obedient this dog is, it might bite you one day."
"That's right. There's a saying in my hometown: 'You can't train a dog to stay the same.'"
Zhang Yu and Old Lady Feng sang in unison.
The other women who had wanted to speak also fell silent after hearing what they said.
