Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
He Qingyao and He Qingmu ran out. When they saw the dirty puppy outside the door, they exclaid in surprise, “Ah! Why is there a puppy here!”
When the dog saw them co out, he tried to look as cute as possible so that he could stay.
He Qingmu asked, “Brother, do you think it’s lost?”
He Qingyao thought about it seriously. “It’s very likely. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have co to our house.”
He Qingmu looked at the little dog’s dirty body and said, “It’s very dirty, as if it had rolled in the mud.”
The puppy tilted its head and glanced at He Qingyao and He Qingmu. Then, it whimpered and shook its head and tail at them. Its face was filled with the want to flatter.
“Stand up.” He Qingmu suddenly thought of giving the puppy an order.
The puppy stood up obediently.
He Qingmu blinked in surprise and continued to give orders. “Shake hands.” The dog tilted his head as if he was thinking.
Seeing that it did not move, He Qingmu thought that it would not. Just as he was about to give the idea up, the puppy extended its front paws at it.
He Qingmu said in surprise, “It’s really smart.”
Su Li carried the food into the central room and saw that He Qingyao and He Qingmu were still whispering to each other outside the door. She shouted out of the courtyard.
“Qingmu, Qingyao, what are you doing? Wash your hands and eat.”
He Qingyao turned around and said to Su Li, “Mother, co over quickly. There’s a puppy here.”
A puppy?
Why was there a puppy again!
Su Li walked over with a head full of doubts. When she saw the dirty and familiar dog, she felt terrible.
The puppy wagged its tail even more happily when it saw Su Li.
The corners of Su Li’s mouth twitched. She squatted down and poked the puppy’s head. “Why did you find here?”
This dog was amazing. How did it find her house from so far away?
The puppy stuck out its tongue and licked Su Li’s hand.
“Mother, do you know this puppy?” He Qingmu asked.
The puppy seed to like his mother too, but that was to be expected. His mother was the best mother in the world. No one would dislike her.
Su Li explained softly, “I’ve seen it in town before. At that ti, it wanted to follow , but I didn’t agree. I didn’t expect it to follow ho.”
She didn’t know whether to laugh or feel helpless now. This dog was amazing.
It was a long way from town to the village. She didn’t know how it found her. Did the dog use a navigator?
He Qingyao and He Qingmu’s eyes lit up when they heard this. Since this puppy had chased after their mother from town, it ant that this puppy did not have an owner. Without an owner, they could adopt it.
“Mother, can we raise it at ho? It looks so pitiful. It’s definitely not going to survive outside at such a young age.”
With that, He Qingyao and He Qingmu looked at Su Li eagerly.
The puppy also looked at Su Li, as if she was a heinous bad person if she didn’t nod in agreent.
Su Li held her forehead helplessly and looked at He Qingyao and his brother.
“Do you like it?”
“Yes, yes!” He Qingyao and He Qingmu nodded vigorously.
“Then you have to feed it in the future and bathe it. You even have to deal with its feces. The house can’t beco ssy because of it.”
“Can you do what I’m saying?”
Su Li was afraid that their enthusiasm would be short-lived. Since they wanted to raise it, they had to take responsibility for it. They couldn’t just throw it away tomorrow if they have lost interest in it.
He Qingyao and He Qingmu said in unison, “Mother, don’t worry. We can do it. We’ll do everything in the future. We won’t let you worry.”
This puppy looked so cute. If it could stay, they would have one more companion.
Seeing that they really liked it, Su Li also felt that this puppy was intelligent. Life at ho was not as difficult as before, so she could still afford to raise a dog.
“Alright, then let it stay in our house!”
The fact that this puppy could co all the way to the house ant that it was smarter than ordinary dogs. It was not bad to raise it to relieve the boredom of the two children.
He Qingmu patted the puppy’s head. “Hurry up and thank Mother.”
“Woof woof-” The puppy barked at Su Li.
The corners of Su Li’s mouth twitched. She didn’t want to be a mother to a dog!
With the puppy, He Qingyao and He Qingmu did not even want to eat anymore. They circled around it.
Su Li said with a straight face, “Wash your hands and eat first. Otherwise, I’ll throw it out now.”
“Mother, don’t throw it out. We’ll go wash our hands now.”
He Qingyao and He Qingmu were afraid that Su Li was serious, so they jogged to the water vat and started to wash their hands. When they washed their hands, they did not forget to turn around and peek at Su Li.
The puppy sat on the spot and looked at Su Li obediently. From ti to ti, it would even act cute at her.
Su Li sighed. Her greatest flaw was her soft heart.
The dog’s stomach had already deflated. It must have not eaten its fill for a while.
Su Li scooped so rice from the pot and soaked it in vegetable soup. She found a broken bowl from the past for the puppy to use as a rice bowl.
“Eat!” Su Li placed the bowl in front of the puppy.
The puppy wagged its tail at Su Li and started wolfing down the food.
Su Li said to He Qingyao and He Qingmu, “Give it a na!”
Since it was a part of this family, it had to have a na.
He Qingyao said, “Mother, give it a na!”
He Qingmu nodded in agreent. “That’s right. Mother, give it a na.”
They really didn’t know how to give nas, so it was better to leave this matter to their mother.
Su Li touched her chin and said, “Uh… let think about it.”
She had never had a dog before, so she was really not good at naming dogs.
She rembered that the child next door in the past liked a puppy very much. What was his na again? Danny the puppy?
Su Li shook her head. She didn’t like this na.
She stared at the puppy on the ground, who was eating, and suddenly had an idea.
“Since it can eat so much, why don’t we call it Riceball?”
Riceball looked up in confusion. There was even a grain of rice on his mouth.
Su Li chuckled. “Look, it likes this na.”
He Qingmu started to flatter her. “Mother, you’re really amazing. This na sounds good to too.”
He Qingyao nodded. “Riceball likes it too.”
Su Li was flattered by their praise.
Cheng Yu turned a deaf ear to the conversation between the three of them. He silently picked up a piece of stead pork ribs and stuffed it into his mouth. He didn’t care about the rice balls. He only cared about the delicacies on the table. If he continued, the food would turn cold and wouldn’t taste good.
When Su Li’s gaze returned to the dining table, she realized that half of the dishes were gone, and Cheng Yu was happily eating pork ribs.
Su Li glanced at Cheng Yu. If she didn’t know that Cheng Yu was a doctor from Huiren Hall, she would have thought that he was a refugee who had escaped from the desert. His table manners were a little indecent!
Cheng Yu sensed Su Li’s gaze and smiled. “Madam Su, I won’t eat for free. I’ll pay!”
The way Su Li looked at him just now gave him the illusion that he was here to take advantage of her.
He could only bla himself for almost starving in the afternoon.. Otherwise, he would definitely not be like this!
