So Lu Hanchuan and Ye Xiaoxiao decided to adopt Shan Dian, and also two cute golden retriever brothers.
They are a litter of puppies and they look pretty much the same.
Liu Yuan was originally being adopted for free, but Lu Hanchuan still gave him the child.
"If you're doing it for free, we won't come to your place next time."
Liu Yuan had no choice but to accept the money.
But they only charged money for two golden retrievers, and Lightning was adopted for free.
"I have always wanted to find reliable owners for these retired military dogs, and I feel relieved to leave them to you."
Ye Xiaoxiao assured, “We will definitely take good care of these dogs.”
The two golden retrievers did not have any names, Ye Xiaoxiao simply called them Da Mao and Er Mao.
Lu Hanchuan secretly decided that when he had children in the future, he would never let Xiaoxiao name them.
Liu Yuan invited the two of them to have dinner outside, and in the afternoon, Lu Hanchuan and Ye Xiaoxiao drove home.
Since we didn’t buy anything at home, we brought back ten kilograms of dog food from Liu Yuan.
On the way back, Ye Xiaoxiao said, "We should prepare a room for them first."
This is not difficult. There are many empty rooms in the yard. You can just vacate one room to make a dog home. The difficult part is how to make them stay in the room peacefully.
You can run around in the yard during the day, but it is better to go back to the nest at night.
"Then let's go to the mall and buy some daily necessities."
Lu Hanchuan guessed that there were probably no extra bowls at home to serve them as food.
There are not so many pet stores now, so Ye Xiaoxiao could only agree to go to the mall to have a look.
It would be nice to have a cotton doghouse.
If you don't have one, you can ask someone to make one for you. Older people should be able to do needlework.
What Ye Xiaoxiao wants to buy definitely cannot be found in the mall.
There was even very little dog food, and I ended up buying some at a corner pet food store.
The shop owner kindly reminded: "There seems to be some dog-beating campaign on the street recently. You should lock your dog in the yard and keep an eye on it. Don't let it be beaten to death outside."
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't quite understand the current pet policy. "Dog-beating campaign? Why?"
"It's because there are too many stray dogs, and they think it will affect their appearance. Also, some people want to eat dog meat, so they will do anything."
The shop owner probably saw that Ye Xiaoxiao and Lu Hanchuan were dressed neatly and seemed to be wealthy people.
People who raise pets like this must be treating them as children. If they were really caught and stewed, they would be heartbroken.
Ye Xiaoxiao thanked the store owner, paid the bill and walked out of the store.
"We have a big yard, the dog won't run away."
Lu Hanchuan: "Well, just remember to close the door at ordinary times."
There's no need to remind me of this, the yard door is usually closed.
The two of them took Da Mao, Er Mao and Shan Dian home.
The guys had just arrived at the new environment and were not familiar with it yet, so Lightning was relatively calm, and at most he just inspected the yard.
But Da Mao and Er Mao kept humming.
"This... is the legendary vicious dog that can guard the house?"
Duan Hong was a little speechless as she looked at the thing whose head was not even as big as her fist.
"The boss said that everything will be fine once you grow up."
Ye Xiaoxiao likes the two soft and chubby kids very much and is determined not to allow others to challenge the dignity of Da Mao and Er Mao.
Duan Hong smiled and nodded, "Well... wait until they grow up."
Duan Hong was still interested in Shan Dian, so she took Shan Dian to familiarize herself with the yard.
When my aunt came to cook in the evening, she was frightened when she saw the dog in the yard.
Mainly because lightning is still very dangerous.
"I have a dog."
Ye Xiaoxiao: "Don't be afraid, Auntie. Lightning is a military dog. He has been trained and will not bite anyone casually."
Ye Xiaoxiao waved her hand, and Shan Dian obediently walked to her side.
Auntie went to the kitchen to cook. "It would be a good idea to get a dog. It's dangerous for you two girls to live in such a big yard."
After eating at night, Lightning can go back to his room to rest.
Ye Xiaoxiao cleaned up an empty room near the door for him to live in. At night, he didn't need to lock the door, it would open by itself.
The two wolves must see people, and if they can't see people, they will cry.
Ye Xiaoxiao had no choice but to carry them both into the bedroom and put some cotton pillows on the floor as a doghouse.
Lu Hanchuan: “…”
"What's up?"
Ye Xiaoxiao had a sharp feeling that the other party had something to say.
"You spoil them too much."
"But they are still here. I can't let them cry all night, and they left mom so soon."
Lu Hanchuan was just being nice. Anyway, the doghouse was already built, so what else could he say?
I can only hope that these two guys will be quieter at night.
Ye Xiaoxiao and Lu Hanchuan were lying on the bed and chatting.
The two talked about some recent events.
"Will you return to the army tomorrow?" Ye Xiaoxiao turned over and hugged Lu Hanchuan's waist, pressing her face against his chest.
"Well, don't worry, I have a holiday during the Spring Festival and will come back to accompany you."
Ye Xiaoxiao raised her head and said, "It's rare that you can have a holiday during the Spring Festival."
I really want to say, I haven’t used up the entire year’s vacation.
"So you want to go home? I can accompany you."
Lu Hanchuan touched the slender forehead.
"My mother is still helping my second brother take care of his children. I wonder if they will come to Beijing to celebrate the New Year."
Ye Xiaoxiao moved closer to Lu Hanchuan's arms again.
Lu Hanchuan: "It's very convenient to come to Beijing, and the whole family can get together."
"Well, so I won't go back this year. I'll go back after a few months when it gets warmer."
Ye Xiaoxiao told Ye Changjun that he might get married.
Lu Hanchuan thought about the weather in Baishi Village and felt that it would indeed be more comfortable in the summer.
After discussing things to do during the New Year, the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
…
After Lu Hanchuan left, he left his phone number for Ye Xiaoxiao.
It was from Cheng Peng, telling him that if he needed any help he could just call him over.
Lu Hanchuan is in the army and often loses contact, but he will try his best to ensure Xiaoxiao's safety.
"I understand. Please drive safely."
Ye Xiaoxiao watched Lu Hanchuan drive away.
I went back to see the two dogs.
They didn't cry when I went to sleep last night, but they woke up too early this morning.
The dog can drink some goat's milk, which Ye Xiaoxiao paid to order, and a milkman delivers bottles of goat's milk to the door every morning.
Duan Hong also joked, "Why do I feel that these two things are more valuable than people?"
Ye Xiaoxiao was pouring milk into the rice bowl, but Damao and Ermao had milk all over their faces, so in order to avoid choking, she had to hold them by the scruff of the neck.
“That’s what dogs do.”
She had never raised a child in her previous life, but she felt that it was similar to raising a child.
After finishing his breakfast, Lightning began to patrol the front and back yards. When Ye Xiaoxiao called it, it ran over quickly, and its speed was really as fast as Lightning.
Although Shandian is a big dog, Ye Xiaoxiao still gave him a bottle or bowl of milk.
"Mom is going to work, please take good care of my brothers."
