Xiaocui's three guard dogs stand proudly in front of the gate, guarding this world unwaveringly.
Among them, the female dog has brilliant golden hair, while the black-haired male dog playing with her is a touch of depth in the night. The accidental combination of the two gave birth to a litter of colorful little lives.
Some of these puppies inherited their mother's warm golden color, while others wore their father's night cloak. The interweaving of yellow and black made Xu Qinghe love them very much.
Zhang Xiaocui looked at Xu Qinghe, eyes filled with love and reluctance, a gentle smile playing on her lips. She said, "As long as you have that persistence and sense of responsibility in your heart, I believe my father will definitely agree. Lately, he's been worried about the future of these little lives. He's worried about giving them away to people who don't know how to cherish them and letting them suffer, and he's even more worried about them becoming dishes on the table in the future. But if we don't give them away, our small family really can't bear the weight of so many lives."
Xu Qinghe's hands seemed to be the most gentle cradle, and every puppy found security and a sense of belonging in her arms.
Her eyes were firm: "I will treat them as my own children and love and protect them with all my heart. I can't bear to part with these little guys anymore!"
Looking back on the past, Xu Qinghe had dreamed of the companionship of a purebred Chinese pastoral dog countless times, but the hustle and bustle of the city made this wish difficult for her to achieve.
She rejected those so-called precious dog breeds and chose an ordinary calico cat as her emotional support.
Now, this long-awaited opportunity has quietly arrived, and she vows to treat these little creatures as rare treasures and never miss them again.
Zhang Xiaocui was touched by Xu Qinghe's words and laughed crisply: "You and my dad are really the same. He always said that no matter whether it is a person or a dog in the family, they are all treasures in his heart and he can't lose any of them."
Xu Qinghe's expression was frank, without a trace of shyness. "They've been with us since we were little. They've long been a part of our family, just like our own flesh and blood, aren't they?"
If it weren't for the fact that the puppies' eyes hadn't fully opened yet and he still needed to ask Uncle Zhang's opinion, Xu Qinghe would almost be eager to embrace them into his warm little home.
After spending a happy time at Zhang Xiaocui's house, Xu Qinghe reluctantly returned to his own residence.
There, a vegetable patch waiting for her careful care is quietly awaiting a new life.
She knew very well that only by sowing the seeds of hope as early as possible could she taste the fresh vegetables planted by her own hands in the future.
At the same time, Jiang Yu embarked on another journey. He first found his good friend Hou Jin and whispered his desire to inquire about Xu Qinghe's family background.
Hou Jin frowned slightly upon hearing this. Curious, he also asked about the reason behind this: "Why are you suddenly interested in this family? Do you have any special connection with them?"
Jiang Yu responded lightly, keeping Xu Qinghe's true identity a secret. He simply said, "Nothing special, just pure curiosity. Captain Hou, if you have time, please help me."
Hou Jin already had a rough guess in his mind, so he didn't pursue the matter any further. To him, this was just a piece of cake, so he readily agreed to the request.
During the conversation, Hou Jin gently patted Jiang Yu's shoulder with his hand, his eyes full of praise: "You guys, your new house was built so quickly, I thought you were destined to be a happy bachelor in this life. Unexpectedly, in such a short time, you have a happy marriage and a new house, and you have achieved the best of both worlds. You are really amazing, Jiang Yu!"
Jiang Yu responded with a knowing smile.
After saying goodbye to Hou Jin, he did not stop, but continued to visit several friends including Xue Lin to share his joy and plans.
It was not until the night deepened that he got on his bicycle and slowly returned home along the country road.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to meet with Hou Jin, the director of the meat processing plant, Jiang Yu bought a few pieces of selected meat. This way, he saved the trouble of going to the city to purchase in the future.
When he returned home, Xu Qinghe was already busy working on the slightly barren land.
She knew that such soil needed to be tilled over and over again and added with natural fertilizers from neighbors in order to grow healthy seedlings.
The advantage of rural life is that there is no need for too much courtesy between neighbors, and people just exchange things for each other, which is simple and down-to-earth.
As the sky grew darker, Yin Yunjie drove home and joined Xu Qinghe's work without hesitation.
The couple worked side by side, had perfect understanding and doubled their efficiency.
As the moonlight spread across the earth, Zhang Xiaocui walked slowly in the soft moonlight. The scene before her made her smile with relief involuntarily - the land had been tidied up in an orderly manner, and as soon as the spring breeze blew, it would usher in a vibrant scene.
After dinner, Zhang Xiaocui came again. Xu Qinghe and Yin Yunjie were using the cool night breeze to paint the old furniture in the house with tung oil.
The cool breeze at night will take away the excess moisture of the tung oil, and by the next morning, everything will be renewed. Here, not a single moment of time is wasted.
"That's great, thank you so much!" Xu Qinghe's voice was filled with unconcealable joy.
She stood up lightly, with a bit of joy in her steps, and walked into the kitchen.
A moment later, she brought out a cup of steaming, sweet sugar water with a few drops of tempting crystal sugar hanging on the edge of the cup.
Zhang Xiaocui took the tall glass, and the sugar water in the glass rippled slightly, reflecting the smile flashing in her eyes.
She was not pretentious, she clasped her hands together and savored it carefully, and the sweetness slid into her heart.
"By the way, I accidentally mentioned to you about growing vegetables. When my mother heard it, she immediately said that we have vegetable seeds at home, and whenever you need them, just come to me." These words penetrated the haze in Xu Qinghe's heart.
She was originally worried about the source of vegetable seedlings, and Zhang Xiaocui's words came at the right time and moved her silently.
"Xiao Cui, you are really my angel, I love you so much!" Xu Qinghe couldn't help but squat down and made a heart-shaped gesture towards Zhang Xiaocui.
This novel and sincere action made Zhang Xiaocui feel both fresh and shy, and two blushes appeared on her cheeks inadvertently.
"Hehe, what's the big deal? Who doesn't have some leftover vegetable seeds? If these are not enough, I can just go find Xiuxiu and Lili. They must have some in stock at home!" Zhang Xiaocui's shyness was accompanied by a cheerfulness, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
Xu Qinghe took advantage of the situation and not only made a heart shape with her hands, but also pouted her lips and blew a playful kiss to Zhang Xiaocui. This scene made Zhang Xiaocui's cheeks completely blush.
Yin Yunjie, who was observing silently at the side, was deeply attracted by the unusual Xu Qinghe. His eyes couldn't help but look a little dazed, and he secretly sighed in his heart: How can one not be moved by such a straightforward and innocent person?
