Before Qiao Xinyi and the others could thank her, Aunt Zhang Hua continued talking about the dog.
"Zhao Xiaohu's parents have been looking for the two dogs everywhere these past two days, saying that Zhao Xiaohu was ignorant and didn't know where he hid the dogs. They said he was simply throwing the family's money away."
"You don't understand Zhao Xiaohu's parents because you haven't met them. My child's father and Zhao Xiaohu's father work in the same workshop. Last year, a neighbor in the building behind us ran out of salt. The child was hungry and wanted to have a midnight snack, so the neighbor borrowed some salt from Zhao Xiaohu's family."
"The next day, the family bought some salt and said they would return a spoonful of it to Zhao Xiaohu's family, but Zhao Xiaohu's parents said they would not return it, saying that it was not right to make such a fuss about a spoonful of salt between neighbors."
Zhang Hua clapped her hands at this point. "That sounds reasonable, right? As long as you don't take advantage of others and borrow a spoonful of salt today and a spoonful of sugar tomorrow, you are a neighbor. Who can make others really return the spoonful of salt?"
"That makes sense!" Fu Bailu nodded in agreement, and then asked, "So it's okay to look at Zhao Xiaohu's parents this way?"
"If this matter had ended like this, there would have been no problem. The problem was that Zhao Xiaohu's parents told people in the workshop two or three days later that the neighbor was too ignorant.
They were polite in words, but the other party really didn't return the salt. They said that their neighbor didn't return the salt and didn't know how to give something else as a return gift. The Zhao couple spoke ill of his neighbor behind his back, saying that the neighbor was stingy and liked to take advantage of others. ”
Aunt Zhang Hua looked disdainful. "Although I am stingy, I am a straightforward person. If I want you to pay me back, I will ask directly. If I don't want to lend you money, I will also say I won't lend you money. I am not like them who say one thing in public and another in private. They borrow a spoonful of salt from others and expect them to give them back in return."
Aunt Zhang Hua patted Qiao Xinyi on the shoulder and said, "You are taking someone else's dog for free. If they find out, they will go around saying that you are taking advantage of them tomorrow. They can sell two dogs for more than one yuan."
"Then let's return the dog quickly." Chen Bingbing doesn't usually chat with people, so he really didn't know that there were so many things going on in the residential building behind.
The two children hugged the dog tightly, looking reluctant to part with it. "Brother Xiaohu will be very angry if he sees us returning the puppy. He said that when we buy a puppy, we have to raise it up and kill it for meat."
"I'll take the two children over and give the Zhao family one dollar and forty cents, and we'll consider these two dogs as ours." Qiao Xinyi patted the two children's heads and said, "It's okay. I will never let you lose your trust in your friends."
Zhao Xiaohu trusted Fu Linzhou and Fu Zeyu, and he might also trust the adults of the Qiao family, so he was willing to hand over the puppy that he had hidden for several days to the two children.
"Thank you, auntie! I love you so much!" Fu Linzhou transformed from a frost-bitten eggplant into a sunflower blooming in the sun. The change in his emotions was visible to the naked eye, and his eyes went from dim to glowing in the time it took Qiao Xinyi to say a word.
"I love auntie too! I love auntie so much too!" Fu Zeyu happily jumped on the spot while holding the puppy.
"Oh, your two children are so sweet. They make people feel like they are eating candy." Aunt Zhang Hua felt happy when she heard it.
Qiao Xinyi is so direct when expressing her emotions to the two children. She often tells them, "I love you so much," "I like you so much," and "You are so well-behaved." The two children are very happy to be praised, and they also learn these words and put them into practice.
This way of expression may seem too straightforward when one is emotionally restrained, but it is very memorable.
"Big sister, you guys chat, I'll just take the two kids over there." Qiao Yunbai volunteered to take the job, then patted his pockets and said, "I have money, I'll buy a puppy for my nephew."
Qiao Yunbai called Fu Linzhou and Fu Zeyu, and the two brothers followed happily holding the puppy.
"Xinyi really spoils children." Aunt Zhang Hua said with a smile.
"Don't spoil the child, protect the child's self-esteem and integrity." Qiao Xinyi said, otherwise where can't we buy a dog?
Food is so precious these days, and people are giving away newborn puppies for free. After all, when they grow up and are weaned, they need to eat food. Who can afford to raise so many dogs?
"Zhang Hua, I'll pack some dumplings for you to take back home as a midnight snack. If you weren't here right now, I would have asked He to bring some to your house."
Chen Bing took out the peaches, washed the basin that was stained with peach hairs, wiped it dry and put some of the peach hairs into the basin to make the plump glutinous rice balls.
"Okay, then I won't be polite with you." Zhang Hua responded cheerfully, "We have a great feast tonight~"
Since Qiao Xinyi came back, Zhang Hua gradually became closer to Chen Bing because of her good relationship with Qiao Xinyi.
The two families were such close neighbors, Qiao Xinyi often sent things to Zhang Hua, and Zhang Hua would also send things of her own to Chen Bing, and the two families began to visit each other.
When Qiao Yunsong came back with the two jumping children, Aunt Zhang Hua was still holding the basin and chatting with Qiao Xinyi and the others.
The two children looked very happy, but Qiao Yunsong, on the other hand, almost had curse words written on his face.
"Eat the dumplings first." Qiao Xinyi asked the three to wash their hands, then walked over to Qiao Yunbai and asked him, "Why are you the only one unhappy after going out?"
"What can those two little brats understand?" Qiao Yunbai shook off the water in his hand and handed Chen Bing the bowl before continuing to talk to Qiao Xinyi, "Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao look like they have never seen money in their entire lives."
Qiao Yunbai said, "I didn't say the child had returned home, nor did I say that the adults asked us to come over."
Afraid that the two bad mouths of the Zhao family would say bad things about his family, Qiao Yunbai said at the time that he wanted to buy two dogs from the Zhao family for his two nephews.
"Uncle Zhao said that their puppies are sold for one dollar each. If I think it's too expensive, I can just return the puppy to them." Qiao Yunbai pouted, "He was looking at my child, and seeing that Xiaozhou and Xiaoyu liked the puppy so much, so he raised the price."
Fu Linzhou and Fu Zeyu were still young and had no concept of money. After all, these two could even give all the jewelry to their aunt and daughter.
Qiao Yunbai couldn't bear to see his two children disappointed, so he paid the two dollars while cursing in his heart.
"It seems like they can become extremely rich if they earn these extra sixty cents. Real people will encounter all kinds of shameless people if they live long enough." Fu Bailu cursed.
Aunt Zhang Hua was angry for Qiao Yunbai, "Don't worry, Yunbai, I will scold them for you tomorrow and let everyone in the family compound and the factory hear how the Zhao family cheated the children out of their money!"
Qiao Yunbai immediately felt that the dumplings in his mouth tasted even sweeter. He smiled and said thank you to Aunt Zhang Hua. He put down the bowl and even personally served Aunt Zhang Hua a bowl of dumplings. His enthusiasm made Aunt Zhang Hua say that she would cook it at home, and then she ran away.
The next morning, Fu Qingshan sent Qiao Xinyi to work. As soon as she arrived at the office, Yun Xia hugged her tightly.
"Translator Qiao, I didn't expect that I would be able to work with you again!" Yun Xia received the temporary notice yesterday and was very happy all night last night.
