Capítulo 42: You Have To Care For Them
The four small ones trotted after Gousheng and quickly chose the puppy they wanted. It was a small black dog with black hair all over its body and had a ring of yellow fur around its neck. As the eldest child hugged it firmly in his arms, he looked very happy. The other three little ones were giddy with excitement just by looking at this scene.
The most unusual thing was that the female dog followed behind them as they brought the puppy to Lu Jiao and the others, but she didn't appear to be angry. Instead, she meekly followed the five little boys.
As Lu Jiao noticed that the eldest child had already taken his pick, she said to the Third Grandma, "Third Grandma, this is so embarrassing."
The Third Grandma simply waved her hands and smiled, "I'm afraid I won't be able to afford to keep so many puppies at home. I was about to ask if anyone was interested in adopting them. You are free to take them if you want."
When Lu Jiao heard this, she raised her brows, looked at the third grandmother, and asked, "Do you want to give away the other puppies too?"
The third grandma just looked at her. If Lu Jiao wanted to adopt another one, she wouldn't refuse. She really didn't want so many puppies. Her dog gave birth to four puppies in total, and their family won't be able to keep all of them but she was afraid to let them go stray for fear that they may die of starvation. Since someone wants to adopt them, it works out perfectly for her.
"If you want, you can adopt another."
The quadruplets were taken aback when they heard this and asked Lu Jiao, "Mother, can we have two in our family?"
"Do you want it?" Lu Jiao asked the four little boys, smiling.
"Yes," after speaking, the four little guys then turned to look at Gousheng, who was a little hesitant, but he also knew that his grandma was going to give them away anyway, so it would be better to give them to quadruplets, but Gousheng is a cunning child, so as he looked at the eldest child's hopeful eyes, he said
"I can give you another one. But if the third aunt makes anything fun in the future, you'll have to give me one."
The eldest child thought about it and nodded solemnly, "Okay."
The four children made a deal with Gousheng and adopted one more puppy. It was a white puppy with small black spots.
After adopting the dogs, Lu Jiao took the four little ones and prepared to leave. Before leaving, she insisted that the four little ones say their goodbyes to the Third Grandmother and Gousheng's mother.
In other words, from now on, she will not only correct the bad habits of the four little ones but also teach them to be polite to others.
Although she wants to divorce Xie Yunjin later, she will try to correct them as much as she can.
The group of five, a mother and her four sons, carrying two one-month-old puppies, went home directly. Of course, Gousheng also tagged along with the quadruplets, because he was going to get the bamboo dragonfly.
Lu Jiao thanked the Second Grandma. If it weren't for the Second Grandma, she would not have dared to rashly go to the Third Grandma's house to ask to adopt a puppy. As a result, not only did she get to have two puppies, but she also developed a warm relationship with the Third Grandma, which is really good.
The quadruplets happily hugged the two puppies and went to the east bedroom to show them to Xie Yunjin.
Xie Yunjin didn't expect that Lu Jiao would agree to bring two puppies back. People can't get enough to feed themselves these days, who would bother to care about dogs, that too two?
"Your mother is not angry?" Xie Yunjin wondered as he raised his brows and looked at the quadruplets.
Lu Jiao had just walked in and raised her eyebrows unhappily when she heard Xie Yunjin's words, "I asked them to adopt these two. Why would I be angry? You think of me as too petty."
She ignored Xie Yunjin after that, instead turning to look at the eldest child and asking, "Did you give a bamboo dragonfly to Gousheng?"
"Third Aunt, here it is," Gousheng exclaimed as he raised the bamboo dragonfly in his hand.
He couldn't stop smiling as he looked at the toy in his hand.
Lu Jiao raised her eyebrows and thought that later she would make more toys for the quadruplets. In this era, children have far too few toys to play with.
However, for the time being, the task of looking after the two puppies must be handed over to the four little ones.
Lu Jiao cast a serious look at the four little ones and said, "You four will be in charge of raising these two puppies. Raising dogs is not just for fun. I won't let you keep them if you just raise them for two days and then, after losing your newfound interest, leave them to fend for themselves. This is absolutely impossible. Dogs are like your good friends. Since you've decided to keep them, you'll have to start caring for them, feeding them, and cleaning their kennels, do you understand?"
"Mother, we will definitely take care of Xiaohei and Huahua," the four little ones assured her with a firm nod.
[Xiaohei means "Little Black" and Huahua means "Little Flower" in Chinese.]
Lu Jiao was taken aback. Their names had already been decided.
"Xiaohei and Huahua?"
"This is Xiaohei," said the eldest child, hugging the black dog.
"This is Huahua," said the second child, hugging the white dog.
"Oh fine, name whatever you want, just remember to feed them, but you also have to pay attention to hygiene. Let the dogs get used to our house first, then bathe them and clean them properly before lifting them in your arms again."
On the side, Gousheng said immediately, "Third Aunt, dogs don't need to take a bath. They can go into the river and take a bath by themselves."
Lu Jiao raised her eyebrows and started to explain why they had to bathe the dog.
Fleas will grow on the dog if it is not bathed. The dog is still small at the moment, and if it is not kept clean, it will get fleas. After explaining, she said a few words to Xie Yunjin and went out.
"You keep an eye on them for some time, and I'll go out and grow some vegetables."
Xie Yunjin felt very complicated as he watched her leave and then looked at the four, no, five happy children in the room.
It's only been a few days. Not only do they have good food to eat, but they also have a dog now. The four little ones, who used to be shy and timid before, are not only happy now, but also more confident.
All of this was changed by that woman.
Xie Yunjin couldn't help but think that it would be good if this woman was left to take care of the four little ones.
Outside the house, Lu Jiao found a thick wooden stick, turned it into a hoe handle, and started hoeing the fields on both sides of the fence, preparing to plant vegetables.
She didn't ask anyone else for vegetable seeds or anything. In her space, she had all kinds of seeds, including seeds of vegetables like onions, garlic, coriander, cabbage, spinach, leeks, Chinese long beans, loofah, eggplant, and tomatoes.
She had originally intended to plant these things in the space, but she later found that there was too little land in the space, so it was not a good idea to waste this kind of special land on food, so she didn't plant them there, but the seeds were always stored in the bamboo house.
After all, the things in her space would never go bad, so the seeds wouldn't have any problems.
In half a day, Lu Jiao plowed out two plots of land in the front yard, then ran to the back of the house and plowed out two more.
She has a lot of strength, and it is easy for her to plow the soil with a hoe.
She sprinkled the seeds after plowing the soil. When the seeds were sprinkled and watered, she took some spiritual spring water from the spiritual spring and poured it into it, and then she went inside the house.
After being irrigated with the spiritual spring water, the seeds would soon germinate, but she didn't dare add too much for fear of the abnormality becoming too large and attracting attention.
At lunch, everyone had rice and stewed pork head, but she decided to feed Xie Yunjin the pig heart. She also cooked a bowl of tender egg custard and boiled egg drop soup for him.
Each of the four little ones also drank a bowl of egg drop soup.
The Youngest Child patted his stomach after the meal and said coquettishly to Lu Jiao, "Mother, my stomach feels like it is a small drum."
Lu Jiao was concerned that he may be experiencing abdominal distension, so she urged him to get up and walk.
"Go take Xiaohei and Huahua for a walk in the yard."
When they heard this, the four little ones were energised, and they happily took the two puppies for a walk. Even so, when the puppies first arrived in an unfamiliar place, they were very timid, and they did not even dare to walk freely. So, the four little ones went to set up a kennel for the puppies.
In the house, Lu Jiao was feeding Xie Yunjin as she said, "When the four little ones take a nap later, I plan to go up to the mountain to catch some prey. I'll take it back to my parents' house tomorrow. It's not a good idea to go back to my parents' home empty-handed."
When Xie Yunjin thought of how Lu Jiao was working nonstop the whole day, he couldn't help but stare at her.
As he was staring at her, he noticed that Lu Jiao seemed to be thinner, but even though she appeared to be thinner, her skin was looking better than before, and now that she was so close to him at this time, he could even smell the sweet scent on her body, which seemed rather nice.
