"After dinner, take me to the village carpenter's house. We have some furniture to make. Is there anything else you need for your room? If so, let me know."
Song Jinxiu told Niu Wazi that she didn't know the way and couldn't keep going to the village chief's house to trouble him, so she had to let her younger brother lead the way.
Niu Wazi nodded and continued eating the food in his hand. This woman's cooking skills are really good.
Because I cooked a lot in the evening, there was always leftover food.
If it were an adult, Song Jinxiu would definitely ask each person to eat it in two bites.
But looking at the child in front of me, I decided to give up. It would not be worth it if the child eats too much.
Seeing that there was not much food left, Song Jinxiu felt a little worried. It would be a shame to throw it away, and she really didn't want to eat it tomorrow.
Should I raise a dog or a pig to help me deal with leftovers?
A dog can be a good guard house, but forget about raising a pig. It's too dirty.
"Do you like puppies?" Song Jinxiu asked Niu Wazi. "Do you want to get a dog?"
If he doesn't like it, then he can just not raise it. I'm not that interested in raising it anyway.
Niu Wazi looked at Song Jinxiu, and Song Jinxiu touched her face. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Then he ran out without a word.
"Hey, slow down. You have to take me to the carpenter's house later! Don't run too far!" Song Jinxiu shouted at his back.
Then I just accepted my fate and packed up the leftovers to eat tomorrow. Ugh. What a shameful waste!
By the time I finished washing the dishes, Niu Wazi still hadn't come back.
"This child. Why hasn't he come back yet? It will be dark soon." Song Jinxiu looked at the time.
It’s already past six o’clock, forget it, let’s go tomorrow.
Then I boiled a large pot of hot water and prepared to take a bath.
A bathtub must also be arranged, alas, it is missing everywhere.
Before it got dark, Niu Wazi came back, carrying a small backpack on his back and holding something in front of him.
Song Jinxiu went forward and saw clearly that he was holding two small puppies in his arms.
"What cute puppies!" One puppy is completely white, while the other has black circles around its eyes. It's like it has two dark circles under its eyes! Ugly-cute, so cute.
"Do you want to raise them?" Song Jinxiu asked. "But aren't they too young? Can you raise them? Where's their mother?"
Niu Wazi looked outside the door, and soon a big white dog came out.
Good boy, Niu Wazi is here to take down all of them. Look at how they get along with each other skillfully.
Could this family be Niu Wazi’s mistresses?
Bah, bah, bah. It's the dog that Niu Wazi kept outside.
"Do you want to raise three of them?" Song Jinxiu asked.
Niu Wazi looked at Song Jinxiu expectantly, then nodded.
Dabai was the dog he used to raise, but he had been eating more and more in the past two years.
Although he could find food by himself, Grandma Mao was still unwilling to raise him.
I had no choice but to build a nest for him outside.
Who would have thought that a month ago Dabai actually brought back two puppies, which made Niu Wazi very worried.
I couldn't even feed them! I could only save some of my own food for them, but it was still not enough.
"Okay, but you must remember to bathe them regularly and not let them into the house," Song Jinxiu instructed.
Dogs all shed hair, and if it's all over the room, I'll be devastated.
Niu Wazi nodded happily. The surprise came so suddenly that it caught him off guard!
"By the way, they won't bite people, right?" To be honest, Song Jinxiu was still a little afraid of dogs.
Niu Wazi quickly shook his head.
Dabai is very well-behaved and never bites anyone.
"That's good. I've boiled some water. Let's give them a bath first." Song Jinxiu took out a wooden basin.
"From now on, this will be their exclusive bathtub, okay?"
Then Song Jinxiu was responsible for adding water to them. She also took out a piece of soap specifically for the dogs and rubbed out a lot of bubbles.
It took several basins of water to rinse the bubbles away.
"Don't make so many bubbles for this one." Song Jinxiu instructed.
Niu Wazi nodded. He was too excited just now and didn't control it well. He would know this time.
Song Jinxiu took out a large piece of cloth and wiped the water off the puppy. When it was half dry, the other one was also washed. Song Jinxiu put it on the ground and wiped the other one.
The little puppy lay obediently on Song Jinxiu, enjoying the service from humans.
"Do they have names?" Song Jinxiu looked at them and asked Niu Wazi.
Niu Wazi nodded.
"Dabai?" Song Jinxiu asked, pointing at the big dog.
Niu Wazi nodded in surprise.
When Dabai heard someone calling him, he barked in response.
"Xiaobai? Xiaohei?" Song Jinxiu pointed at the two puppies and asked.
Xiaobai is the one with white body. Xiaohei is the one with black eye circles.
Niu Wazi thought about it and nodded hesitantly.
Forget it, since you are willing to raise them, I will let you name them!
"Have they eaten?" Song Jinxiu asked.
Niu Wazi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
"Then I'll prepare food for them. There just happen to be some leftovers from last night." Song Jinxiu didn't know if dogs could eat fish, so she didn't dare to give it to them.
Give the two smaller ones shrimp and meat mixed rice, and for the larger one, mix the roast duck with bones and broth with the rice.
Three old bowls were pulled out from the space to serve as their rice bowls.
Because there was only white rice at night, the dog's meal was also white rice, which made Song Jinxiu feel a little distressed.
Forget it, forget it, I'll prepare some coarse grains for them tomorrow! Today is also a warming meal, so the more substantial the better.
When the two little ones saw the food, they came over happily wagging their tails and started eating.
Dabai just looked at it but didn't eat it. Finally, Niu Wazi gave it to him and he slowly started to eat.
I found some old clothes and made a temporary nest for them in the corner.
I'll build a doghouse for them tomorrow.
They both took a shower. Only then did Song Jinxiu realize that the small package on Niu Wazi's back was actually his spare clothes.
Then she ran into the house, almost forgetting that she had prepared a gift for him.
Two sets of small clothes that she had sewn by herself. Since it was summer now, Song Jinxiu sewn two sets of small vests and small pants for him.
Song Jinxiu would never admit that she didn't know how to make clothes. Shorts and a vest only required two pieces of cloth to be cut symmetrically and then sewn together.
"Ting ting ting... This is a gift from your sister. Try it on and see if it fits you." Song Jinxiu took out the small clothes she had made.
Niu Wazi looked at the clothes in front of him.
Is this woman too stingy to use fabric for me? She's cutting corners like this. And what's that ugly thing on top?
Song Jinxiu looked proudly at the big-headed doll on the chest of her clothes. She had spent a lot of effort to cut out and sew it on.
"Isn't it cute?" Hahaha! Look at him, he was so shocked by his own masterpiece that he was speechless.
I am indeed a genius. I was so successful in making clothes for the first time.
