Chapter 151 Raising a Puppy
"You guys are really fast. I was afraid it would take another two or three days before the class could start."
The village chief touched the neatly arranged desks and nodded continuously, feeling a sense of satisfaction as if his childhood dream had suddenly come true.
"We are in a hurry to send these monkeys here, so we can urge Brother Li to make them as soon as possible."
"Ha! You guys are really good at being lazy." The village chief said this but he couldn't stop smiling.
"Don't crowd in that room, come out and have some tea." The village chief's wife entered the main room carrying tea.
"Oh, every time we come back to Auntie's house, we have tea to drink. We are well fed. We come here every day with the children."
Zheng Yuan picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. They had drunk a lot of modern tea before, but they never thought of drinking it on their own initiative. Unexpectedly, they had no tea to drink here, and they missed it occasionally.
"I was afraid you wouldn't be able to come. I could get rid of you with a little tea and some hot water. It's so easy."
The village head's wife liked them more and more. They were sweet-mouthed and polite, and it seemed that they had really changed for the better.
"It doesn't matter whether you come or not, but these kids have to come every day." The village chief put down his teacup and asked, "What time do you plan to let the kids come every day? How many hours do they study?"
In order to discuss serious matters, the two men put away their playful expressions and sat upright.
"Uncle, this is what we thought. With the situation at home, it's not realistic for us to come here all month. Besides, we can't let you go a month without a break. The children will get tired if they bury themselves in books every day."
"So we thought that if there is no market day, we will let the children come to you on time every day, and then the class will end at 4:45. There will be a one-hour break in the afternoon, and then the class will continue from 4:45 to 5:00 in the afternoon."
"Uncle, what do you think?"
The village chief sipped his tea.
"If it's just simple literacy, this amount of time is enough. But I'm taking advantage of it. The schools outside only have four days of monthly leave a month, and they have to attend classes for at least four hours every day. It doesn't matter to me, but sometimes when there are things to deal with in the village, I have to go there. At other times, the children can come here. Otherwise, my money would be a bit hot to handle."
"Uncle, what are you talking about? Why don't you tell me how much money each child in those schools outside costs per month? You have only collected this much for these eight children and it is already too much. If you were asked to teach outside, your hands would be burned and blistered."
Duan Minmin teased the village chief.
"Hahaha, that's right. That's why I can only teach you kids here in Lao Huaiqing."
The village chief's wife stood up and poured more tea for everyone.
"I think they think clearly. If they immerse themselves in books all day, they will become nerds. Don't let these clever children become idiots after a month. Otherwise, they will come to your house to cause trouble."
"You old woman! You insist on ruining my show. I think you are the one who can't read or write."
The family found it very interesting to watch the village elders arguing with each other.
Seeing that everyone was sitting in the main room, Hua Niu also wagged her tail and came up to the two of them, looking like she wanted to be touched.
The two of them also liked it, but it was difficult to touch it with their teacups in hand. Seeing that the two were unmoved, Hua Niu groaned anxiously and kept rubbing her head against them.
Seeing that, the village chief's wife stopped arguing with the village chief and looked at Hua Niu with amusement.
"Just ignore it. It's like that. It wants to stick to whoever it likes."
"It's okay. We both like it. Hua Niu, wait a minute. Let's finish our talk before we touch you, okay?"
The two men tried to comfort Hua Niu, and it seemed to understand them. It stopped humming and sat obediently in front of their feet.
"Actually, it likes you very much. I've never seen it so affectionate to anyone other than its family members before. Could it be that it's taking care of cubs now, and seeing that you are also taking care of so many children, it feels close to it?" The village chief's wife patted Hua Niu's head suspiciously.
"Who would compare like you? Really!" The village chief rolled his eyes at her.
The two of them didn't care and only heard the word "bringing the cub".
No wonder she is called Hua Niu.
"Aunt, is Hua Niu really carrying a cub? We always thought it was a male."
Hearing this, Hua Niu hummed twice in dissatisfaction, expressing her dissatisfaction with the two men mistaking her for a male dog.
"Haha, it's true. Hua Niu's physique is indeed stronger than that of ordinary male dogs." The village chief was quite proud.
Looking at Hua Niu's round belly, the two men felt a little jealous.
How about getting a puppy?
This Hua Niu is so smart, although she was taught by the village chief's family, her genes must be good. Otherwise, why would the police force select police dogs based on their parents? If it was really a stupid dog, it would not even understand the instructions.
"Aunt, have you raised this girl since she was little?"
"Not really. My grandson Changyi brought Hua Niu back when she was six months old. He said he bought her from a kennel when he was escorting a caravan. At that time, the kennel was used for dog fighting. When the puppies grew up, they would be trained to be fighting dogs and put in cages to bite each other for bets. Changyi is a kind-hearted boy. He couldn't bear to see Hua Niu, so he spent five taels of silver to buy her out of the kennel."
Hua Niu had such a rough life. The two men put down their teacups and touched its head soothingly.
The two men touched Hua Niu, who felt so comfortable that she almost fainted, looking intoxicated.
Although it may have been watered by the love of the village chief's family and forgotten its childhood, the two still felt a little distressed.
"Hua Niu is also pitiful, but fortunately she met a good boy like Chang Yi. Now her life is so carefree, so just forget about the things in her childhood."
"Yes, so we fed it well after bringing it home, and we couldn't bear to hit or scold it. But last month, the door was not closed properly, and it ran out on its own. I don't know whose stinky dog took advantage of it. At the beginning of this month, we found out that it had a cub. My old man was so angry that he almost went to the whole village to look for the dog's father."
"That's right. If I find it, I will teach it a lesson." The village chief was still very angry when talking about this.
Isn't this just the old father's impotent rage because his doted daughter was deceived by a gangster from outside whose name is unknown? The two of them wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
He could only lower his head and pretend to study Hua Niu’s big belly.
Feeling the two men's burning gazes, Hua Niu turned up her belly to show it to them as if to show off.
"Hey! You, little girl, are showing off. I think this little girl wants to rely on you. What do you think? When she gives birth to puppies, do you want to raise one? I'm worried about the same thing. What should I do if she gives birth to too many?" The village chief's wife looked at the two men.
The two of them didn't know how to start the conversation, and the question from the village head's wife hit the nail on the head.
"Is it okay? Auntie, are you really willing to do this?"
"Why not? This little girl eats more than me in a day. If she gives birth to a few more, it will cost a lot of money to feed their mother. If you want to go with one, it will be a great help to me."
"Then we have a deal. When Hua Niu gives birth, she has to leave two puppies for us. You can't say they're gone when we come to pick them up." The two of them looked like they must not regret it.
The village head and his wife were amused by their appearance and started laughing.
"Sure, when the time comes, just come and pick whichever one you like. Hua Niu likes you so much, I think she will be confident in giving the baby to you."
The children were also very happy when they heard that their family was going to have a puppy.
Sanni and Xing'er are not here at the moment. I wonder how happy they would be if they heard the news.
After petting the dog, the two did not forget the main purpose of their visit today.
