Xu Zijiang explained with a smile, and little An'an jumped three feet high after hearing it, her eyes lighting up instantly.
"Really? Dad, we can have a dog! Won't Mom not like it?!"
"No, if An'an likes it, we'll raise it."
Yu Jiu said gently and affectionately that she would spoil her daughter as much as she could, as long as she didn't spoil her, everything would be fine.
"Wow, that's great! Uncle Liu, I want the prettiest and cutest puppy!"
An'an was overjoyed and spontaneously clapped her hands, showing her great affection for the puppy.
Liu Laoda knew that An'an liked puppies. An'an had come to see their dog's puppies twice. However, at first, because the dog was still very wary after giving birth, Liu Laoda didn't dare to let An'an get close. Now the mother dog is less wary, and the puppies are more than 10 days old. He is worried and doesn't know what to do with these puppies.
He was also very happy to hear this.
"Only one puppy has been reserved, but the rest are all very cute and lively. I'll go and bring them all out now. An'an, you can take whichever one you like."
"good!"
Soon, Boss Liu brought out four puppies of different colors. Some were pure yellow, some were gray, some were gray and white, and one was gray and yellow. Two were solid colors and two were mixed colors. Because they were still small and chubby, all four looked very cute.
"Come on, see which one you like."
Boss Liu put all four puppies at An'an's feet. The puppies didn't bite, and all four were very gentle. As soon as they were put on the ground, they sniffed around An'an's little feet, and some even barked softly.
If you're looking for a guard dog, then of course you'd choose the fiercer one. The first one someone picked was very aggressive; it howled incessantly at people and was quite menacing. However, if you're getting one for a child, a cute and gentler one is better. Even when a dog grows up, it's not necessarily incapable of guarding the house; dogs are generally very loyal and protective of their owners.
"Haha, Mom, which one do you like? I like this one!"
Little An'an petted each of the puppies a few times, then quickly picked up the gray puppy. It was grayish-white, quite pure, and really cute. It also seemed to like An'an a lot; after An'an picked it up, it kept rubbing against her, making An'an laugh out loud.
"Then this one will do. Just pick the one you like."
Yu Jiu also went over and patted the puppy's head; it was soft and quite comfortable.
"Okay, then I'll take this one, Uncle Liu, is that alright?"
An'an looked up at Boss Liu expectantly.
"Okay, then it's yours. Take it home and remember to raise it well."
There was no reason for Boss Liu to refuse, so he immediately gave the dog to An'an without even asking for money.
"Yes, I will! Thank you, Uncle Liu. I'll bring it back to see you again in the future!"
An'an thanked Old Liu excitedly, then hugged the puppy tightly and followed Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang home. On the way, Yu Jiu even asked her to give the puppy a name.
"What name do you want to give it, An'an? It will be your puppy from now on, and a new member of our family, so it needs to have a name."
"Can we name it Gray? Its fur is gray, and Gray is so cute. It's still small now, so we can call it Little Gray. When it grows up, it will be Big Gray. And its name is a reduplicated character, just like mine. My name is An'an, and its name is Gray. Isn't that nice? You can tell we're family just by hearing it!"
An An had a sudden inspiration and immediately gave her puppy a new name.
“That sounds nice. An’an is really amazing. From now on, we’ll call it Huihui. When your younger siblings are born, we’ll also name them with a reduplicated character so that our family can be complete.”
Xu Zijiang praised him highly.
"Hehe, can I name my younger brother and sister?"
Little An'an got really excited and wanted the right to name her younger siblings.
"Okay, then you can choose the nicknames for your younger brother and sister."
Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu both agreed, and the family of three, along with An An's puppy, happily went home together.
An'an really loves puppies. After returning home, she was busy building a bed for the puppies and feeding them, having a great time.
Xu Zijiang only stayed with her for a short while. After finishing his meal, he went out to look for clues. He still needed to investigate the thief's matter carefully.
However, the day's investigation yielded no results. Yu Jiu didn't go out to catch the thief; she was just bored at home, and her dog was tired and wanted to sleep, so she took An'an out for a walk. It was a little after 4 p.m., the sun was setting, and it wasn't so hot anymore, so she could go out for a stroll.
"Mom, what are Xiaoni and the others doing?"
A group of children of similar age were gathered not far away. Because they were a bit far, An'an didn't know what they were doing and was very curious.
"Mom doesn't know either. Let's go take a look."
Yu Jiu didn't know what they were doing gathered there. She raised an eyebrow, took An'an's hand, and walked over.
"Little girl, the bamboo dragonfly in your hand is so pretty! You said your dad can make these, can you ask him to make one for me too?"
"I want one too, is that okay?"
"I want one too! If you give me a bamboo dragonfly, and you get caught and become an eagle, I'll take your place!"
The children knew that people wouldn't just give you things easily, so they offered to exchange them. They often played hide-and-seek and games like "eagle catching chicks." Everyone preferred to be the mother hen or the chicks, and didn't like being the eagle because it symbolized the bad guy. So, the children were willing to be the bad guy to exchange for bamboo dragonflies, showing how much they liked them.
"But my dad doesn't have time to make so many bamboo dragonflies. I only have three left, so I can only give them to two of you. Who should I give them to?"
The little girl called Xiaoya was about four or five years old, a little older than An'an. Most of the girls surrounding her were between three and six years old. Besides them, there were a few little brothers who had come with their sister, but not many boys. The boys preferred climbing trees and such, so they played with the village girls less.
An'an also squeezed into the crowd to look at the bamboo dragonfly in Xiaoya's hand. It was indeed very pretty, and she wanted one too.
"Then you can make conditions for us. Let's see who can do what you ask for, and we'll give her the bamboo dragonfly, okay?"
Little An'an blinked her big eyes and made a clever suggestion.
"OK."
