Chapter 23: Eat Dog Food
Lan Jin was speechless. She asked, "Can you just grab my arm randomly?"
Ren Siqiao looked at her in confusion, then tried hard to install its arm back, but what could a child do?
At this time, Ren Siqiao pushed the arm in his hand towards the hole in the Barbie doll's leg until a hole was made there. Then he finally pushed the arm up. However, the arm placed there was not pleasing to the eye. Ren Siqiao immediately pulled the arm away and said with a look of grievance, "Mom, this is not right."
Lan Jin held his forehead with his hand. "Of course that's not right. Were your arms resting on your legs?"
Ren Siqiao took another look and suddenly realized, "Oh."
Then Lan Jin saw Ren Siqiao forcefully attaching the Barbie doll's left arm to the hole on the right. The arm was attached, but the position was reversed. In short, it still looked very strange. But Ren Siqiao had attached it, so she immediately stood in front of Lan Jin and wanted to praise him.
Lan Jin didn't want to discourage her child, so she actually praised him: "Qiao Qiao is great, my Qiao Qiao is really smart, but she could be a little gentler next time."
Of course, a little girl who is over two years old doesn’t understand the word gentleness, but she definitely listens to her mother’s praise, so no matter whether she understands it or not, she just has to agree obediently.
However, after being locked up for half a month, Ren Siqiao was really unable to be locked up anymore. She threw the Barbie doll in her hand back and immediately threw herself into Lan Jin's arms and said coquettishly, "Mom, let's go out and play. I don't want to be at home."
Lan Jin didn't want to either, but she had no way out at the moment, and she wouldn't be able to leave for a long time. She glanced at the time on the wall and saw it was almost ten o'clock. Lan Jin said, "Qiao Qiao, you and Nana go to the space first. Mom will go get the supplies."
"No, together."
This really won't work. Lan Jin explained, "The aunt who came to register us last time said that only mom can go down alone, so we can't bring Qiao Qiao this time. If it's okay next time, mom can bring Qiao Qiao along."
Ren Siqiao wanted to make a scene, but Lan Jin put the child and the dog into the space as soon as she finished speaking, so Ren Siqiao couldn't make a scene even if he wanted to.
Of course, the space is not empty. There is a children's toy area in the thatched hut, and there is also a children's play area a little further away. She collected this set of children's play equipment when she went to the supermarket to collect supplies. Although it takes up a lot of space, it's enough for the children to play with it. If they don't play with it anymore in the future, she can just throw it away.
Ren Siqiao liked it very much when he first came into contact with it. He played with it for several days in a row, which really made Lan Jin feel relaxed. However, no matter how fun something is, one will get bored of it if you play with it too much. Today, he was playing with a Barbie doll in the corner of the living room again.
But now that she had already gone in, it didn't mean she couldn't continue playing. Ren Siqiao's desire to play was aroused by the sight of the amusement park in front of her, and in a short while she climbed in and started playing.
After Lan Jin used her consciousness to see what the child was doing, she took her bag and went downstairs.
There are no stairs in Lan Jin's building. Since she was queuing at the safety passage, she could just go down there. But as soon as she entered the safety passage, she saw Huang Jinghe who was about to go downstairs.
Lan Jin and Huang Jinghe were not very familiar with each other, but since they met, they naturally said hello. Besides, the child was really too young. When facing children, she always wanted to give them a few words of reminder, but it was just verbal and nothing more.
Lan Jin said, "You should go down now too."
Huang Jinghe nodded, "Yeah, there must have been a lot of people going down when we were first notified. There should be fewer people now. I don't like queuing."
"Same, I thought so too. It's already ten o'clock, so there should be fewer people here."
As the two had expected, there were indeed very few people at this time. They went down from the 32nd floor to the 2nd and a half floor, and only then did they see some people queuing.
When the people in line saw them coming down just now, they complained, "You're really smart to come down now. We've been waiting in line for quite a while."
"It's because you don't want to queue." Lan Jin said.
"That's right." The man added, "My family really has nothing left. Before the community supplies arrived, we were completely destitute. I'd be worried if I didn't get in line."
After this person finished speaking, the person in front of her in line also echoed: "That's right. Before the last batch of supplies came, I drank lotus root powder at home for several days. It's delicious, but you can't eat it every day. Of course, it's also fortunate that there is water and electricity, otherwise there would be no lotus root powder to eat."
Lan Jin did not participate in the conversation between the two people. After all, if such words were spoken in a queue with so many people, anyone with a little bit of insight would know what these two people meant.
But Lan Jin didn't say anything, so the two of them took the initiative to ask, "Hey, sister, what have you been eating these days? Is there much food at home?"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked in his direction. Lan Jin smiled and said, "What's the big deal? I don't have anything at home. I ate dog food for several days before the supplies were distributed. My dog is fed up with me and always bares his teeth at me when it's time to eat."
Dog food is not a good thing for them now, and people nowadays are not really at the point where they have to eat dog food. When they heard her say this, they laughed out loud, "Hey, sister, you still have a dog at home."
"Well, it's my friend's puppy, a purebred Rottweiler guard dog. I thought it was pretty fierce and very loyal to its owner, so I kept one. Since there's a dog in this family, it's natural to stock up on dog food. Who knew it would actually come in handy at a critical moment?"
It was indeed a nice thing to keep a dog at home in the past, but now people can't afford to keep a dog, so raising a dog has become a burden for everyone. When people heard this, they didn't look envious, and then they lined up in their own queues. After all, they had found out everything they needed to know.
Lan Jin rolled her eyes and followed closely behind these people, lining up in her own queue. Huang Jinghe also naturally lined up behind her.
As for why Lan Jin said this, it was because Nana was too awesome.
Wasn't the little bean fed chocolate without her knowledge?
But dogs can't eat chocolate. Lan Jin was worried that something might happen to the dog, so she thought about it and gave it some spiritual spring water. She thought that drinking it would strengthen people's bodies, and the same should be true for dogs. She didn't ask the dog to live forever, but the chocolate it ate could at least be excreted.
Unexpectedly, after drinking the spiritual spring water, Nana suffered from the same unbearable abdominal pain as they did at the beginning, and it was really uncomfortable for a while. But when that period was over... the whole dog was different. It looked majestic when it stood up.
Of course, the dog is still not very big, it is only 3 months old now, but since drinking the spiritual spring water, the dog seems to have become smart, it understands everything she says, not to mention its instinct to protect its owner, its strength has also made a qualitative leap like the mother and daughter.
