Dahuang kept wagging his tail at Su Qianqian, looking very excited.
Both the man and the dog were extremely thin, and I don’t know how they managed to get through this period of time.
"Get up and follow auntie."
The little girl immediately stood up, packed her things and followed him. In fact, it was nothing, just a broken bowl and a cloth bag.
Su Qianqian had loaded a lot of things on the tricycle. She pretended to search for them, but actually took out two meat buns from her space and handed them to the little girl. "Here, you and Da Huang, each have one. Eat them first and have lunch when we get home."
"Thank you, Auntie!" The little girl was really hungry. She stuffed a bun into Dahuang's mouth and started to eat it up voraciously.
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
One meat bun is too little for one person and one dog, but for people who are always hungry, they cannot eat too much at once and need to eat slowly.
"Come in the car, I'll take you there."
"No need, Auntie, we can go." The little girl saw that there were a lot of things on the tricycle and was worried that she and Dahuang would break the things if they got on. Besides, she and Dahuang together were quite heavy and she was afraid that the auntie couldn't ride it.
When going uphill, she was still pushing the cart from behind, which made Su Qianqian feel distressed.
Fortunately, the rental house is not too far from here and it only takes about ten minutes to walk there.
When Dahuang appeared, some people who were afraid of dogs were frightened and avoided him.
"Don't be afraid, Da Huang doesn't bite people." Su Qianqian said, "Just mind your own business and don't provoke them."
Everyone felt a little relieved when they saw that Dahuang stayed by the little girl's side without even calling her.
Su Qianqian gave the little girl and rhubarb water to drink first.
"Lunch will be served soon. Can you hold on for a while before eating?"
"Sure, sure!" The little girl nodded vigorously.
For her and Dahuang, being able to eat a hot and fragrant meat bun is already a very happy thing.
Not to mention when I was a beggar, I had never eaten it even when I lived with my grandfather.
"Sister Zeng, give this little girl a bath and find some clean clothes for her to wear."
"Wang Yang, wash this dog too." Su Qianqian turned to look at Da Huang and patted its head. "I'll give you a bath later. Don't bite me. Be a good boy, okay?"
Dahuang looked at it and called softly. Su Qianqian felt that it understood. This dog must be very human-like since it could always stay with the little girl.
really!
The pet was very well behaved when Wang Yang was bathing it. It didn't move around at all and didn't even shake its fur. It didn't shake the water off its body until he was done and let it play by itself.
The little girl was also washed clean. She was very thin, just skin and bones. There were many wounds on her body. She must have suffered a lot during this period.
"May I have your name?"
"Auntie, my name is Zhang Mengyao."
Su Qianqian chuckled and said, "This name is very nice." In this era, it is very rare to have a country girl named Mengyao.
"Yes, my grandfather gave me this name. He said that I would be as beautiful as this name in the future." When she mentioned her grandfather, her eyes became red and her voice was choked. "Auntie, Grandpa, I can't find him."
As she spoke, she began to cry, "I have been looking for it for a long time, and I have been looking for it with Da Huang for a long, long time, but I still can't find it."
She could be very strong, but this strength was completely gone in her grandfather. He was her last relative, but now she could not find him, either alive or dead.
Su Qianqian hugged her and said, "Grandpa may have gone to another place where he can protect Yaoyao. Grandpa spent a lot of effort to find the immortal and asked him to bless our Yaoyao. Then the immortal said, then you can follow me. Finally, the immortal sent Yaoyao to aunt."
When Xiao Mengyao heard this, she was stunned, her eyes widened, and her tears stopped.
The first time I heard this statement, I was shocked, but I also felt that it seemed to make sense.
"Did Grandpa go to heaven and become a god?"
"Hmm... maybe he's a follower of a god, specially here to protect Yaoyao, because Grandpa thinks this is the only way to make Yaoyao a better person."
Xiao Mengyao thought about it and seemed to accept this statement.
"Aunt, you are right. Grandpa was protecting me. Da Huang and I met you and uncle, so we were rescued. If I hadn't run around by myself, I wouldn't have become a beggar. But despite this, Grandpa still let Aunt find me!"
Thinking about it this way, it seems that everything can be explained.
"You will stay here with your aunt from now on. Dahuang will help us look after the house, and you can help your aunt with some simple things. You can learn to read and write with brother Yangyang." She pointed to Wang Yang who was playing with Dahuang beside her.
The school is closed today and Wang Yang is at home. He has good grades now and is in the second year of junior high school, so he is more than qualified to teach Xiao Mengyao.
According to Wang Yang’s age, he shouldn’t be in the second year of junior high school, but he had fallen behind too much before, so he needed to make up for it, otherwise he would not be able to keep up even if he went to high school.
Anyway, the age of going to school is a bit confusing these days.
Xiao Mengyao didn't answer immediately. Instead, she lowered her head and thought for a while before looking up and saying, "Auntie, can you tell me all the money that Dahuang and I spend living here? This way, I can pay you back when I grow up."
Su Qianqian was stunned. She didn't expect that she would think about paying back the money at such a young age.
"Okay." She had no objection. It was good to develop the habit of repaying kindness. Everyone had his or her own rules of survival, which she respected.
Xiao Mengyou laughed and called Dahuang to stand in front of her and bowed deeply.
"Da Huang, from now on, Auntie will be your second master. You must protect her and be loyal to her!"
"It's time for dinner."
Su Qianqian took the little girl to eat, and asked someone to make a dog bowl. She put Dahuang's food in it, and added some Lingquan water for the dog to eat outside.
"Tiezhu, when you have time, make a doghouse for Dahuang. It should be waterproof, bigger and more spacious." Su Qianqian said at the dinner table.
"Okay boss."
After giving instructions for these things, Su Qianqian said that she would go back to the countryside for a while, and during this time everyone should just do their own things step by step.
"The canteen's supplies must be of guaranteed quality and quantity, and there must not be any mistakes. Xuemei, you will be responsible for this matter and take charge of it."
"Okay boss."
Now Su Qianqian has a very high prestige here. Everyone respects and admires her. After all, she has motivated so many people to do such a big thing and made everyone make money. This is very impressive!
After dinner, Su Qianqian took Xiao Mengyao to find Wang Guifen.
"Yaoyao, you follow that auntie and do some work. She also has a daughter and a son. You can help her hold the children and play with them occasionally. What you need to do is to collect these duck feathers and separate the coarse feathers from the fine feathers."
She taught Xiao Mengyao how to do it in detail, and Xiao Mengyao listened very carefully.
"I understand. I will do my best."
"Well, let's eat with Sister Zeng and the others."
"By the way, Auntie forgot to ask you, are you willing to stay here with Da Huang?"
Xiao Mengyao was stunned. She didn't know how to answer. It seemed that she had no choice from childhood to adulthood. Only once did she make a choice, that is, when her grandfather brought Da Huang back and asked her if she was willing to keep this puppy? She made a choice and said yes!
