"Why are you pulling me? I want to go inside and check on the puppies."
"Alright, I'll go in with you and take a look. Just don't touch it, keep your distance and look at it from a distance. Don't get too close."
Ding Qiunan withdrew her hand from the door: "Why?"
"Xiaobai is very sensitive right now, very protective of its own. It was baring its teeth at me just now."
Ding Qiunan didn't know if she had listened or not; she just nodded and followed her husband inside.
Looking at the four puppies nestled under Xiaobai's belly, Ding Qiunan was overcome with maternal instincts and completely forgot her husband's words, reaching out to touch them.
"Waaah!" Sure enough, Little White got angry and didn't even recognize its owner.
Startled, Ding Qiunan quickly withdrew her hand.
Li Chu looked at his wife helplessly: "I told you not to even think about touching the puppy."
He reached out and patted Xiaobai's head, saying, "You're whining to everyone, so look carefully."
"Hmm~" Little White hummed and lay down again.
Ding Qiunan wasn't angry. She squatted down and looked at the four puppies whose eyes were still closed, her smile never fading.
"Li Chu, Meng Ge wants one, Fu Laoda wants one, who else wants one?"
"Sixth Brother also said he wanted one yesterday."
"Oh, that means we have to give away three of them." Ding Qiunan was a little unhappy, and her little mouth pouted.
"Haha, do you want to keep them all? There are too many, we can't keep up. The three of them already eat more than we do every day, if we get a few more, they'll eat us out of house and home."
Besides, it will definitely have more babies in the future.
"Will she have more children?"
"Of course, it's possible to have only one litter a year."
Ding Qiunan rolled her eyes and thought for a moment: "Then we'll have way too many dogs in the future!"
"So, I'll give it to anyone who wants it."
After squatting down and looking at it for a while, Ding Qiunan finally stood up: "Alright, then you can deliver it as you see fit. What time did you come over to look last night?"
"I didn't sleep last night. I came over after you went to sleep." Li Chu walked over and picked up the soiled bedding that had been taken off: "These are all dirty. Let's take them apart and wash them tonight."
Ding Qiunan reached out and took it, then looked at it.
“There’s blood all over this. Let’s not wait until tonight. I’ll go and wash it now. The bloodstains won’t be clean by tonight.”
You haven't slept all night, go get some rest now, I'll bring the child over in a bit.
"It's okay, I'm not sleepy. Let's go outside and talk about it. Let Xiaobai get some rest."
Upon arriving in the living room, Ding Qiunan squatted down and unpacked the bedding. She hung the inner cotton covers out to dry in the yard, and took the outer covers directly to the sink, applied soap, and began washing.
"Honey, what would you like to eat for breakfast? I'll go out and buy it."
After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Li Chu went out into the yard and asked.
"Hmm, let's have some fried dough sticks and soy milk."
"Okay, just wait here, I'll be back in a bit."
Little Black and Little Flower went out for a stroll.
He led his two dogs, grabbed a small pot, opened the gate, and strode away.
Ding Qiunan watched her husband's retreating figure, then smiled and shook her head.
If you replace the pot in your hand with a birdcage, then you'll truly become a Manchu bannerman, as described in the opera.
When Li Chu returned with breakfast, the two children were already up and sitting sullenly on small stools in the yard.
"What's wrong? It's so early in the morning."
"What else could it be? She wanted to go into the study to see Xiaobai and the puppies, but I wouldn't let her, and she got angry with me."
When they saw their father come home, the two little ones ran over and hugged his legs, chattering and complaining about their mother.
Ding Qiunan looked somewhat helpless.
"Don't rush, let me put down what I'm holding first."
Li Chu struggled to drag the two children to the stone table and placed the fried dough sticks and soy milk on it.
"Honey, get a bowl and scoop out some soy milk, and bring out the pickled vegetables Mom made too."
After saying that, she squatted down and picked up both children.
"Want to see the puppies?"
"Mmm, I want to see."
Originally, Li Chu had planned to take the child in for a look after he woke up, but now that his wife had refused them, he couldn't go against her.
Otherwise, the children's education will become a problem in the future.
"You can't watch it yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that both children were pouting. Li Chu then added, "Do you know why we can't watch now?"
Xiao Wenhui said in a tearful voice, "Mom said that Xiaobai will bite people."
"Yes, Little White just gave birth to her own child. If anyone touches her child now, she will get angry."
Just like you, you are your parents' children. If anyone tries to harm you, Mommy will get angry and rush to protect you.
"But... but what if it's someone we know?" Xiao Wenxuan's questions were always quite sharp.
"The same goes for you. No matter who it is, if they try to do something to you without Mom's permission, Mom will be angry."
"Then let's just ask Xiaobai."
"Xuanxuan, can Xiaobai understand you? It can understand simple words, but it can't understand complicated words, so you can't ask it."
After listening to his father's explanation, Xiao Wenxuan nodded as if he understood but not quite.
"When can we see the puppies?" Xiao Wenhui asked, pouting.
Li Chu thought for a moment and said, "After we get back this afternoon, I'll take you inside to have a look."
"Really?" the two children asked in unison.
"Of course it's real, but you can only look at it, not touch it."
"Okay, Dad."
"Alright," Li Chu squatted down and put the two children on the ground. "Were you two still angry with your mother?"
Wenhui and Wenxuan stood on the ground, their heads lowered and they remained silent.
"Then tell me, what should we do now?"
"Go apologize to your mother."
Li Chu smiled and gestured towards Ding Qiunan.
The two children immediately ran over, each hugging one of the legs, and looked up at their mothers, saying, "Mommy, I'm sorry."
Ding Qiunan put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, smiled and patted the children's heads: "It's okay, alright, sit down quickly, we're about to eat."
Li Chu smiled as he watched the mother and her two children enjoying a harmonious time together.
Looking at the two children already sitting on the stool, it seems that the twins have a telepathic connection. The two children often speak in unison, without ever discussing it with each other.
The weirdest thing is that if one of them wakes up in the middle of the night, the other one will definitely wake up soon after.
This happened several times, and Li Chu was a little confused. How could going to the toilet require telepathy?
Another time, Wenxuan woke up early in the morning, so Li Chu carried him out to buy breakfast.
She was fine until we started crying without any warning on the way back, and it took a while to calm her down.
When they got home and asked, sure enough, Wenhui woke up and didn't see her younger brother, so she cried.
So when she cried, Wenxuan also started crying. How do you explain that?
