382 There Will Be Dogs (1/4)
Chapter 382: Have a Dog (14)
It was Dapo who told Xixi that there was a dog going to give birth. Their big yellow belly has been around for two months, and they have been a little restless these days. Having a baby is just two days away.
However, to Xixi's disappointment, when she and her grandfather went to Dapo's house to visit rhubarb the next day, rhubarb had not yet given birth. Li Shupo lied about military intelligence!
The real production time of rhubarb was on the first day of the Spring Festival. However, because it was the first day of the new year, Yang Yi and Yang Chonggui did not tell Xixi that it is not appropriate to go to the house of someone who is not a relative to disturb others today.
Although Xixi got up early in the morning and talked about the dog baby for a while, the lively atmosphere of the Chinese New Year diluted her thoughts.
The sound of crackling firecrackers is heard one after another in the village. In Wudaokou Village, firecrackers are set off at the door and called the door god. The Yang family also set off firecrackers, and Yang Yi was responsible for lighting the first cannon this year (Lunar New Year).
Xixi was actually a little afraid of firecrackers. She would shiver when she saw the crackling firecrackers explode a few days ago. But the more afraid she was, the more she wanted to see. She shrank in her mother's arms early in the morning, staring intently while she was nervous. Murphy's hands were pulled up by her and covered her ears.
Seeing her father walking towards the long firecracker with the incense in her hand, the little girl became anxious. She couldn't help shouting, "Baba, be careful!"
Before Yang Yi lit the firecrackers, she panicked and shouted: "Baba, run, it's going to explode!"
Her nervous little face was tensed.
However, her father was very calm. He saw Yang Yi calmly lit the fuse, then turned his head and walked slowly towards Xixi. After a while, the firecrackers behind him began to detonate one by one.
Real man, never look back at the explosion.
The firecrackers behind this jumped up one by one, bursting in the air, rolling up thick smoke, and the red firecracker paper also flew like butterflies, hovering, landing...
But his calmness made Xixi anxious. She snuggled in her mother's arms, stomping her feet, wishing she could help her father run.
"Hey, is Dad cool?" Yang Yi finally came back "alive" and gestured to his daughter to shoot, thinking he was handsome.
However, Xixi pouted and said unhappily, "I don't care about you anymore, Baba, you are bad and disobedient!"
"Hey, why are you disobedient?" Yang Yi smiled and reached out and scratched his daughter's little nose, the red mark of the fragrance still remained on his fingers, and the bridge of Xixi's nose was stained with a little red.
"I told you to run away quickly, you will be bombed!" Xixi complained.
"No, Dad knows when it will explode, so he can keep a good distance." Yang Yi smiled gently.
"But, but it's terrible, I don't like it, I don't like it!" The little girl shook her head.
Tian Xixi is actually in a good mood this day, and the happiest thing for her is to receive red envelopes. Early in the morning, the little girl couldn't wait to find each other, saying Gongxi Fa Cai, and then looked at the other party waiting for the red envelope.
From her father, mother, grandfather, grandma, and Uncle Qingzi, Xixi got a big red envelope. She happily put it in her pocket, and her mother said that she can take it first, and then give it to her mother for safekeeping at night.
However, Xixi encountered setbacks with her little aunt.
"Why, you still want a red envelope from me? Your little aunt, I haven't grown up yet, and I'm still at the age to ask for a red envelope!" Yang Huan pursed her lips and yelled at Xixi.
Xixi couldn't understand, she blinked innocently at Yang Huan. In her opinion, even adults can ask for red envelopes!
Yang Huan was defeated by her innocent, hopeful eyes, and reluctantly took out the red envelope that she had asked Yang Yi early in the morning but had not yet warmed up, and reluctantly handed it over: "Okay. , okay, here it is for you!"
"Hee hee, little aunt, you are so kind!" Xixi smiled brightly, but her mouth was very sweet, like wiping honey.
After getting the red envelope, she carefully opened the pocket of her down jacket, put it in, and then carefully buttoned the pocket, as if afraid of losing it.
"There are so many red envelopes, you can give me some!" Yang Huan glanced at it and said enviously.
"Don't!" The little girl giggled and ran away on her long legs.
The little girl is very busy, she has to follow her father, grandpa, and grandma to visit relatives, and then she will pocket red envelopes!
...
The next day, Yang Chonggui took Xixi to Dapo's house to see the puppy. Yang Yi was also a little interested in this, so he went with him.
Rhubarb is a Chinese pastoral dog, also known as a native dog, but the Dapo family's Rhubarb breed is very pure, with brownish-yellow hair on the back and white hair on the abdomen. The hair is long and close to the body, a bit like a Shiba Inu. , However, the mouth is more pointed than the Shiba Inu, and the limbs are more slender and sturdy.
Seeing a stranger coming, Rhubarb, who was still lying in the nest and taking care of his baby, raised his head vigilantly and bared his sharp canine teeth. If the biting dog doesn't bark, Rhubarb just doesn't say a word, with the demeanor of a general.
This also scared Xixi to hide behind her father in a hurry.
"Da Huang, this is a friend, don't be scary!" Da Po squatted down, touched Da Huang's back, and comforted him.
Rhubarb gradually restrained its fierce posture, it lowered its head and wagged its tail.
"It has accepted you." Da Po said with a smile to Yang Yi and Xixi.
"Just watch it here, the bitch protects the cubs." Yang Chonggui held back Xixi who was curious and wanted to get up to the front.
Because of giving birth, Rhubarb's nest was moved to a warm house. Although it was made of simple haystacks, there were six small gray meatballs lying under Rhubarb's stomach, which attracted Xixi's attention. force.
The little girl was a little afraid of the big bitch, so she held on to her father's hand, but she couldn't help the curiosity and joy in her heart. She opened her eyes and kept looking at the little meatballs.
"Baba, why don't they move?" Xixi watched for a while, and finally couldn't help asking.
"Because they have just been born, they are still sleeping drowsily!" Yang Yi explained, "Moreover, they can't see or hear now, and they will have to wait until they are a little older before they can become active."
At this time, a small meat ball moved.
"Baba, look." Xixi cried out in surprise, her face full of joy.
I saw that little meatball arched, squeezed into Rhubarb's belly, probing, found a place, and began to drink milk. During the whole process, Xixi kept her eyes wide open and watched nervously.
This little meatball is so cute! It seems that there is no defensive power at all, which also makes Xixi feel pity and love.
"Mr. Yang, Brother Tie Zi, if you like this child, why don't you take one back?" Dapo scratched his head and smiled honestly.
"Really?" Xixi looked at him in surprise, then she looked at her father anxiously, and asked expectantly, "Baba, can we bring a puppy home?"
"Of course, our rhubarb gave birth to two litters of dogs, and they were all taken away. If you like it, you can take one back, it's fine!" Dapo said generously.
However, Yang Yi shook his head: "Not yet."
Xixi felt that she had fallen from the cloud to the ground, and she asked a little aggrieved: "Baba, why not? I like puppies."
"It's not that Dad doesn't let you keep a dog, but he just said that it's not enough right now." Yang Yi explained with a smile, "The puppy is still young, and we can't take care of it! It's best to let it stay by Mommy's side for a while. It's better to take it back in two or three months. You don't want the puppy to leave its mother, do you?"
"Well...but I still like puppy dogs, I like this one." Xixi pouted her little mouth, pointed to the little meatball that moved just now and said glumly, she might think this one is more compatible.
"Then this one, it's only ours!" Yang Yi said with a smile, "but for now, it is temporarily kept with the dog mother, and we will bring it back when we come over in May."
At this time, Yang Yi also turned his head and said to Li Shupo, "Dapo, please keep this for Xixi, help take care of it for a few months, and take it back when Qingzi gets married in May and we come back."
"no problem!"
The conversation between Dad and that uncle made Xixi smile again.
"Little dog, you have to wait for me to come back to pick you up!" When parting, Xixi could finally hug the little meat ball. She was so happy that she couldn't bear to let go, and finally said to the little meat ball reluctantly.
Although it will take a few months, there will be a puppy! Xixi began to look forward to it.
