Grandma Xie was washing vegetables in the yard and called out several times: "Yaoyao, Zhao Ge'er and Xiao Fei won't be back so early! Come and help me wash the vegetables."
Cheng Yaoyao took a basket of bamboo shoots and sat back on the doorstep, his eyes still fixed on the outside: "The puppy will definitely come today!"
Grandma Xie poured cold water on her: "The last time I went back to the city, the bitch hadn't given birth yet. Even if she gave birth, she would have to be fed until she was weaned. It won't happen that fast!"
Cheng Yaoyao said firmly: "Xie Zhao promised me that he would bring the puppy back today!
The female dog at the fertilizer factory was about to give birth, and Cheng Yaoyao had ordered a puppy, looking forward to it day and night. Xie Zhao went to the city to see it twice and brought Cheng Yaoyao special dog food. But the female dog's due date had passed and she hadn't given birth yet.
Cheng Yaoyao suspected that the bitch wanted to trick pregnant women into eating her, which was why she refused to give birth. Xie Zhao promised her that if the bitch didn't give birth again this time, he would bring her back with him.
Cheng Yaoyao peeled and washed a basket of bamboo shoots and made a pot of hand-peeled bamboo shoots. He cut the remaining bamboo shoots into pieces and put them into the chicken soup, which immediately added a refreshing bitter taste to the oily aroma of the chicken soup.
Cheng Yaoyao took a spoon and carefully skimmed off the oil on the top of the chicken soup, saving it for the noodles. As she was doing this, she heard some movement in the yard.
Grandma Xie smiled and said, "Zhao Ge'er, Xiao Fei, you're back! Where's the dog?"
Cheng Yaoyao put down the bowl and rushed out.
Xie Zhao was holding a little puppy wrapped in his coat. The yellow little puppy had its eyes drooping, its little paws resting on its head, and was whimpering loudly.
Cheng Yaoyao reached out and gently touched the little ear, and the puppy started licking her finger.
Grandma Xie was immediately attracted by it. Cheng Yaoyao clung to Xie Zhao's arm and jumped up and down in cuteness: "It's so cute, why is it so fat?"
Xie Zhao said: "The bitch gave birth to only four puppies this time, one male and three females. This one is the male."
My goodness, everyone said that the female dog’s belly was big and she could give birth to at least seven or eight puppies, but she only gave birth to four. You can imagine how big these two puppies are.
Cheng Yaoyao asked excitedly: "How long has it been born?"
"More than ten days." Xie Zhao said, "She hasn't been weaned yet."
Grandma Xie said, "Then we should feed the bitch for a few more days!"
Xie Zhao knew that Cheng Yaoyao could raise any small animal, so he was not worried: "I bought two bags of goat milk powder to feed it."
The whole family was busy around the puppy. Grandma Xie took out the basket that Jianjian had used before, and Xie Zhao went to the cat's den to get a mat. After fighting with Jianjian for a while, he gave up and took an old piece of clothing to put on the mat, and then carefully moved the puppy in.
Cheng Yaoyao could see clearly that it was a black and yellow wolfhound, with yellow fur and some black on its ears, forehead and neck. The puppy couldn't stand steadily, and a slight push would reveal its pink belly, but it barked loudly.
Grandma Xie made a bowl of goat's milk and added crushed egg yolk. The little puppy dove in and ate happily, wagging his little tail like a propeller and humming.
Cheng Yaoyao gently poked its pink little paw, but the puppy was very good-tempered and didn't care at all. It even turned around and whimpered at her, with a circle of whiskers around its mouth. Cheng Yaoyao was so cute that she covered her heart: "It's much cuter than Jianjian!"
Xie Zhao looked back at the cat's nest and said, "Don't be partial."
"I'm not partial, I love stubborn ones too." Cheng Yaoyao said without any care, "Touch its little tail, it won't bite!"
Xie Zhao turned his head to look at the cat's nest again, then at the shiny, plump and charming little puppy. He reached out and touched it gently. It was furry and warm. Little JIOJIO even stepped on his palm and kicked it up and down without getting angry at all.
Xie Zhao put his arm around Cheng Yaoyao's shoulders, and they both smiled vaguely and happily at the little puppy.
Half of a chubby face appeared from the cat's nest not far away, looking resentful.
The puppy ate a whole bowl of goat milk and fell asleep in the basket with a bloated belly. Cheng Yaoyao covered him with a small blanket, then he and Xie Zhao washed their hands and ate.
On the table were bitter bamboo shoot chicken soup, stir-fried amaranth, cold bitter vegetable salad, and sour and spicy bitter bamboo shoots. Xie Fei was surprised and asked, "Why are they all bitter?"
Xie Zhao's face was stiff for a moment, and he buried his head in his meal. Cheng Yaoyao coughed and held back his laughter. Grandma Xie put a piece of bitter bamboo shoots in Xie Fei's bowl and said calmly, "It's good for clearing heat. You should eat more too!"
Cheng Yaoyao said, "Xiao Fei, go to the workshop and pick up some scraps of cloth to make a nest for the puppy."
Before Xie Fei could answer, Xie Zhao said, "Xiao Fei hasn't been to work recently."
"Ah?" Cheng Yaoyao and Grandma Xie were both surprised, "Why?"
Xie Zhao had a sullen look on his face, and he buried his head in his meal without saying a word.
Grandma Xie then asked Xie Fei, "Xiao Fei, tell me, why don't you go to work for no reason? Is there something wrong in the factory?"
Cheng Yaoyao put down his chopsticks, raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Did someone bully you? Was it someone from your dormitory? Or the workshop?"
"I..." Xie Fei's face flushed. She glanced at Xie Zhao in panic and lowered her head again: "No, they didn't bully me..."
Xie Fei would never lie, and her expression showed that there was something wrong. Grandma Xie asked anxiously, "Why don't you go to work for no reason? Don't be afraid, if you have any problem, Grandma and your brother are here, just tell me!"
Xie Fei buried her face deeply in her mouth, poking at the rice grains and refusing to speak. Xie Zhao also kept silent, just eating his rice.
Grandma Xie said anxiously, "You two are driving me crazy!"
Cheng Yaoyao hurriedly said: "Grandma, don't worry! I'll ask!"
Cheng Yaoyao glanced at him: "Xie Zhao!"
Xie Zhao paused for a moment, slowly raised his eyes, and said in a muffled voice: "It's nothing serious. There are hooligans in the factory... who are entangled with Xiao Qi."
Cheng Yaoyao's peach blossom eyes widened slightly: "Where did this gangster come from in the textile factory?"
Xie Zhao looked unhappy: "He is a technician from Shanghai, a little gangster named Lu."
Cheng Yaoyao jumped up. His last name is Lu?!
Grandma Xie's reaction was even more extreme: "This is not a big deal! Xiao Fei, how did that little hooligan bully you? Zhao Ge'er, did you send that little hooligan to the police station?!"
Xie Fei's cheeks flushed, and he said anxiously, "Grandma, please stop talking nonsense. It's not like that! He didn't... Ouch!"
Cheng Yaoyao said excitedly: "He is a gangster! And you are still speaking for him!"
"Sister Yaoyao, you don't know him!" Xie Fei said inexplicably.
Grandma Xie directly pulled Xie Fei and said, "Come back to the house and talk to me! You silly girl, you are still speaking up for others when you meet a gangster!"
Xie Fei was dragged back into the house by Grandma Xie. After all, with her brother Xie Zhao present, there were many things she couldn't ask.
Cheng Yaoyao also turned Xie Zhao's face and looked left and right.
Xie Zhao choked and asked, "What's wrong?"
There was no trace of injury on Xie Zhao's handsome face. Cheng Yaoyao was surprised and asked, "You didn't fight with anyone? Didn't they say that the gangsters harassed Xiao Fei?"
Xie Zhao's face darkened, and he finally told the story after Cheng Yaoyao repeatedly coaxed him into doing so.
When Xie Zhao went to the textile factory to look for Xie Fei today, he heard from the concierge that Xie Fei had gone to rest this morning. But in the past few days when she was on vacation, Xie Fei only came back in the afternoon. Xie Zhao was thoughtful and thought that Xie Fei had been acting strange since the Qingming Festival, and she had become particularly careful in her attire.
Xie Zhao was on guard and waited in the alley near the textile factory. Not long after, he saw a young man escorting Xie Fei back. When he was at the entrance of the alley, he actually wanted to kiss Xie Fei.
Xie Zhao rushed out to tear down the little gangster, but Xie Fei held him tightly, crying and begging. People from the textile factory passed by nearby at any time, and Xie Zhao was concerned about his sister's reputation, so he held back his anger. The little gangster was brave enough to introduce himself to him, saying that he was pursuing Xie Fei, and that their friendship was pure revolutionary friendship.
Xie Fei actually nodded foolishly: "Brother, he and I really have nothing to do with each other! I just went to see a movie with him today!"
Xie Zhao looked at his sister's innocent eyes, then at the little gangster's fox-like smile, and almost went up to beat him up again.
Cheng Yaoyao held on to his last glimmer of hope: "What's the name of that little rascal?"
Xie Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Qingtang."
Cheng Yaoyao threw the ball into Xie Zhaohuai's arms: "We guarded against it day and night, but it still couldn't be prevented! That Lu guy is not a good person!"
Xie Zhao asked, "How do you know?"
"I... I saw that Xiao Fei has been distracted recently, so of course I know!" Cheng Yaoyao said hurriedly, "You are right, just let Xiao Fei resign! Let's support her and don't let that little hooligan bother Xiao Fei anymore!"
Xie Zhao lifted her up onto his knees, held her in his arms and pondered for a while before saying, "Xiao Fei doesn't seem to dislike him."
"Huh?" Cheng Yaoyao said in disbelief, "You are not interested in this brother-in-law, are you?"
Xie Zhao raised the corner of his lips coldly: "He's dreaming! But I know Xiao Fei's personality. If she really didn't like that guy surnamed Lu, she would never go to the movies with him. I don't know what he wanted to do to Xiao Fei. Fortunately, Xiao Fei didn't really suffer a loss, otherwise he would have killed him!"
The ending tone already reveals murderous intent.
Cheng Yaoyao hurriedly hugged his neck and said, "That guy surnamed Lu is from the capital, and he has a very deep background. If anything happens to him in Lin'an City, Lin'an City will collapse."
Xie Zhao laughed: "I'm not a bad person, I won't take his life." At most I'll break one of his legs.
Cheng Yaoyao exposed the truth: "If you really want to beat him up, bring a few more people and put him in a sack in the alley. People from such families have all practiced martial arts before, so they must be pretty good."
The two of them talked quietly to each other for a while. Fortunately, Xie Fei didn't suffer any loss. Xie Zhao asked for a week's leave for Xie Fei. After a week, Lu Qingtang and his group would also return to Shanghai, so Xie Fei could put his mind at ease.
After Grandma Xie and Xie Fei came back, Cheng Yaoyao hurriedly sat back in his seat. Xie Fei's eyes were red, but Grandma Xie's expression calmed down. It was obvious that she was relieved to know that Xie Fei had not suffered any loss.
Cheng Yaoyao was a little worried. The plot of this world was too powerful. When she flapped her wings like a butterfly, she only changed Xie Zhao's fate. No matter how many turns the plots of other people took, they still firmly returned to their original tracks.
In the original book, Lu Qingtang was a playboy who teased Xie Fei, an innocent little white rabbit, on a whim and then abandoned her, causing Xie Fei to be sad and depressed for a long time.
However, Xie Fei was a gentle person with a strong character. After she recovered, she focused on her career. Later, Lu Qingtang chased Xie Fei back to Lin'an City, and played out the playboy chasing his wife to the crematorium.
The original book described Lu Qingtang as having a very good appearance and family background, being a man who was hard to tell good from evil, and being very vicious. He was also very attractive, with so many women around him that he was known as a central air conditioner.
But what Cheng Yaoyao hated most about Lu Qingtang was not this, but because in the original book, the biggest disaster that Xie Zhao suffered in prison was caused by Lu Qingtang.
But that was because Lu Qingtang didn't know the relationship between Xie Fei and Xie Zhao. If the two had met earlier in this life, this prison disaster would not have happened.
Thinking of this, Cheng Yaoyao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After listening to Xie Zhao's arrangement, Grandma Xie was also quite satisfied: "Then Xiao Fei should not go to work for the time being, just rest at home. Let's have dinner."
Xie Fei's eyelashes flickered and she nodded in agreement.
This matter is over.
Cheng Yaoyao served Xie Fei a bowl of chicken soup. Covered with a thick layer of oil, the chicken soup was still boiling and fragrant. Grandma Xie also picked up a piece of chicken for Xie Fei: "Eat more. There is no such good meat in your company cafeteria. You have lost weight."
The atmosphere at the table became harmonious again. The puppy, perhaps smelling the aroma of meat, woke up again, stretched its neck and whimpered.
Cheng Yaoyao tore off a little chicken for it to chew. Grandma Xie was very happy and called her "Baby Baby". Xie Fei happily said that she would make a small mat for it, and Xie Zhao also said that he would make a dog house for it tomorrow.
After being happy for a long time, Grandma Xie suddenly remembered: "Why didn't Jianjian come to eat? Usually, I would be waiting for him early in the morning when dinner is served."
