But why does this little thing seem to know Huo Jinxi and listen to him?
Old man Shen felt more and more that Huo Jinxi was an extraordinary boy!
Originally, Old Man Shen thought that Xiaobai was just like a kitten. It was ok to be a toy for Fubao, but could he protect Fubao?
He didn't expect it, but what he didn't expect was that Xiaobai actually took on the responsibility of protecting Fubao.
When Fubao doesn't go out, it lies in the yard, basking in the sun and guarding the door, just like a watchdog.
As soon as Fubao goes out, it wants to follow her immediately. Wherever she goes, it goes. It is particularly attached to Fubao and never leaves her side.
At night, it would lie outside the room where Fubao slept and guard the room, doing its duty conscientiously.
Sometimes when Old Mrs. Shen got up at night and didn't turn on the light, she almost stepped on it several times.
"Hey, little thing, what are you doing here? What if you get stepped on? Go outside!" Fubao likes this little thing very much and plays with it every day. If it gets stepped on and broken, Fubao will definitely be sad. Old Mrs. Shen hates to see her daughter unhappy the most.
She knew that this little thing was guarding Fubao, but with its small body, it probably couldn't even beat the hen in the yard, right?
No matter what, it's good that it has this intention, and it's not in vain to raise it.
Yes, now Mrs. Shen accepts its existence.
Seeing that it was looking for insects to eat every day and was getting thinner day by day, I cooked some more minced meat porridge. After the family had eaten it, there was some left, so I put it in a bowl and gave it to Xiaobai.
Xiaobai smelled the aroma of meat, and he lay down beside the bowl and ate it with a grunt, and finished it in no time.
Soon, it became fatter, rounder, and furry, and very cute. Every time Fubao took it out to play, other children would come over to watch.
When Xiaobai heard the noise, he immediately became alert. When he saw that it was Old Mrs. Shen, he stretched himself and continued to sleep on his stomach as if he didn't hear what she said.
Seeing that it didn't move, Mrs. Shen couldn't do anything about it, so she just left it guarding the door.
The next morning, Old Mrs. Shen took out an iron box from the inner room. After opening it, she took out all the scattered money inside and counted it. There were about thirty yuan.
It’s enough to pay one semester’s tuition for the fourth child!
Shen Zhile was ten years old, and had reached school age, but her family had no money. Now that she was not so tight on money, Mrs. Shen began to worry about this matter.
Although she is not well educated, she knows that studying is important, and whether she can get out of the rural area depends on going to school.
Shen Zhile should have gone to school at the age of six, but it has been delayed for four years and is almost becoming a source of worry for Old Lady Shen.
She has been an honest farmer all her life and knows how difficult it is to rely on the weather for a living. Naturally, she doesn't want her younger generations to do the same.
Old Mrs. Shen stacked the money neatly, one cent at a time. Seeing Old Man Shen coming in with the chopped firewood, she said seriously, "Old man, you see, we have saved some money from selling cured fish and meat, as well as your medicinal herbs, in addition to our daily expenses. Otherwise... we can let the fourth child go to school? He is ten years old now. He has to go to school. It will delay his life. College students are rare nowadays. If the fourth child can become a college student in the future, we will be so proud!"
Shen Zhile, who had been playing in the yard with Fubao for a while, almost jumped up with excitement when he heard this as soon as he entered the house, "Grandma, what did you say, I can go to school?!"
