Yang Yi carried Xi Xi and walked on a small path in the village.
During this period of time, the roads in the village were being repaired. The roads in front of every house were going to be paved with cement. The road in front of Yang Yi's house was a cement road — because their house, which was the first to have it done, had already been repaired. However, when passing through the area where the road was being repaired, the smoke and dust were still a little heavy. Yang Yi carried Xi Xi, covered her mouth and eyes with his clothes, and quickly passed through.
"Hey, Brother Tiezi, why did you come back?" Just then, a young man carrying a hoe walked over. Yang Yi knew him. It was Mu Changan. When he saw Yang Yi, he asked in surprise.
"I came back to discuss something with my family!" Yang Yi said with a smile.
After chatting for a while, Mu Changan knew that Yang Yi was going to find Li Shupo. He immediately said, "I saw Li Shupo just now. He's not at home. He's plucking pigweed in the back mountain! It's okay, I'll call him back now! "
After saying that, Mu Changan excitedly held his hoe and ran away. Like a gust of wind, he disappeared in front of Yang Yi's eyes. Yang Yi didn't even have time to ask him to put down the hoe first.
"He's really a young man. He's so energetic!" Yang Yi shook his head.
Xi Xi couldn't hold it anymore. She poked her little head out of her father's arms and looked outside curiously. She blinked her big eyes and asked, "PaPa, where's the puppy?"
Yang Yi took Xi Xi to Li Shupo's house. Standing at the door, they heard a dog barking inside. Judging from the sound, it should be Big Yellow's. Yang Yi smiled and pointed inside. He said, "Did you hear that? The puppy is in there with its mother. "
Xi Xi got down from her father's arms. She was a little happy and a little scared. She walked over and back and took her father's hand.
"Don't worry, Da Huang should be quite obedient." Yang Yi patted the little girl's head.
Li Shupo soon returned, carrying a bamboo basket like a backpack. His appearance reminded Yang Yi of a well-known nursery rhyme from his previous life, although it was filled with pigweed and not mushrooms.
"Brother Tie Zi, you're finally here!" Li Shupo happily opened the door and said, "The other puppies in the house have been given away to others. There's only one left..."
Li Shupo's Mandarin had a slight local accent. Xi Xi, who was listening at the side, was stunned.
After the door opened, Yang Yi walked in first, but after taking two steps, he turned his head and saw that his daughter had not come in.
"Don't be afraid. Daddy is here. It won't bite." Yang Yi thought that Xi Xi was frightened by Big Yellow's fierce barking, so he turned around to pull her back. At the same time, he told Li Shupo, "Tie up the big dog."
Li Shupo smiled and said, "It's okay. Big Yellow won't bite. It's barking because it's not familiar with you."
As he said that, he shouted at Big Yellow, "Big Yellow, stop fooling around. This is a guest. Did you forget that it was here when you were giving birth last time?"
Big Yellow seemed to be very understanding. It immediately stopped barking and looked up at its master's expression. It wagged its tail and came over.
On the other side, Yang Yi was comforting Xi Xi, "Big Yellow isn't fierce. It's welcoming you! Daddy is here, what are you afraid of? "
He still thought that the reason Xi Xi did not move was that she was afraid of Big Yellow. He smiled and carried the little girl.
"But, but he gave the puppies to others." Xi Xi lowered her head sadly and leaned on her father's chest. As she spoke, the rims of her eyes turned red.
"What? He gave the puppies to others? "Yang Yi was stunned.
"What? I mean the other puppies have been taken away by others. The only one left is the one for you! "Li Shupo heard it and complained.
"No, Uncle Dabo said that he didn't give the puppies to others." Yang Yi understood that there seemed to be some misunderstanding during this period of time. He smiled and walked inside with the little girl while gently explaining to her.
Li Shupo hurriedly ran into the tool room inside. At this time, Big Yellow wagged his tail and came over. He seemed to have realized his mistake and used his nose to sniff Yang Yi's feet, pants, and Xixi's small shoes.
"Really?" Xi Xi asked sadly at first. Then she was startled by the movement from the tip of her foot. She looked down and saw the big bitch so close to her. She hurriedly withdrew her little feet. "Papa! Papa! "
She panicked when she heard the sound!
Yang Yi comforted the little girl and said, "Don't be afraid. Big Yellow is trying to get close to you. It wants to smell your scent and remember you. Then it won't bark at you in the future."
"Xi Xi, look!" At this time, Li Shupo came out with a little puppy in his arms. It was round like a meatball, but it looked much bigger than when it was just born. "The puppy you want has a white hair on its forehead. I remember it clearly, so I've been keeping it for you."
Big Yellow also left Yang Yi and began to circle around Li Shupo, wagging its tail.
Xi Xi finally felt relieved. She smiled through her tears and clapped her little hands excitedly. "That's it. It's super cute!"
Yang Yi rubbed his daughter's little head and said to Li Shupo with a smile, "She's been talking about this puppy. Look at how excited she is."
Li Shupo put down the little puppy. Xi Xi also got down from her father's arms and gathered her courage to go over.
Although it was a mongrel, the little puppy still looked very cute. It was a little chubby and had a strong head. It had a pair of big innocent eyes, but the drooping corners of its eyes gave it a kind of heart-wrenching melancholy.
Yang Yi stood beside Xi Xi and did not leave her side. He was sure that Xi Xi and Big Yellow would appear in his field of vision. Although Big Yellow lazily lay down on the side and did not seem to care about Xi Xi playing with its child, Yang Yi was still worried that Big Yellow would hurt people because of its concern for its child.
"Is this puppy a male or a female?" Yang Yi chatted with Li Shupo while taking care of Xi Xi.
Li Shupo could not stay idle. He went to the side, spread out the pigweed that he pulled back, and began to chop it with a kitchen knife. Hearing Yang Yi's question, he raised his head and smiled. "It's a female. Big Yellow only has one female puppy in this litter. I picked it for you."
At this moment, Xi Xi, who had been looking at the little puppy for a while, turned around and pulled her father's hand. She said to her father with a smile, "Papa, look, the puppy's eyes are open."
"Yes, the last time you saw it, it was just born and did not open its eyes." Yang Yi also squatted down and gently touched the little puppy's head. He said softly, "Come, Xi Xi, play with it and get familiar with it."
Perhaps it was a natural attraction, but the little puppy was a little afraid of Yang Yi's big hand, but it took the initiative to squeeze between the squatting Xi Xi's legs.
When Xi Xi touched its little head, the little puppy lowered its head and licked the little girl's palm.
The little puppy's pink tongue licked the palm of her hand, which felt very wonderful. Xi Xi first called out nervously, but she was reluctant to avoid it. She called out "Ah Ah Ah Ah" and turned her head to look at her father.
"Papa, papa, look, it's eating me!" Xi Xi giggled.
It was impossible to tell whether she was really afraid or pretending to be afraid.
"It's okay, it likes you and wants to play with you!" Yang Yi said.
Li Shupo looked up and said, "Brother Tiezi, I think Xi Xi also likes it. Don't wait for three months, just take it back!"
"So early?" Yang Yi asked in surprise, "Such a small puppy is still drinking Big Yolk's milk, right? Can it be raised if we take it back? "
Li Shupo smiled and said, "Brother Tiezi, you said that it can't be raised. Are you talking about those foreign dogs? I've seen them in the county town, they are too delicate! The native dogs in our hometown are smarter than them and easier to raise. Didn't you see that this puppy is the only one left in the litter? The others have been taken away by others! "
Yang Yi had heard that native dogs were easier to raise, but he had no experience. He didn't understand, so he asked, "Then what should we feed it?"
"It can eat anything. It's more than a month old, almost two months old. It has stopped drinking dog milk long ago. I usually break some cooked egg yolks and feed it with white porridge." Li Shupo said, "But you can't feed it milk, it will have diarrhea!"
"I know." Yang Yi nodded.
He squatted down beside Xi Xi and looked at the little puppy, who turned over on the ground and raised its little feet to play with Xi Xi. He also liked it a little.
Compared with cats, Yang Yi thought that dogs were more fun.
"Xi Xi, Uncle Da Po said that you can take the puppy home." Yang Yi told Xi Xi the news.
"Really?" The little girl was pulling the little puppy's feet. Hearing this, she turned her head and looked at her father with surprise.
