Chapter 309: Giving You a Dog
Update released! Book lovers, go read Cola Novels!
Having a little one in the family seems to bring a lot more things and makes things much livelier.
Little Xuanxuan rarely cries. She sleeps after eating and plays by herself when she wakes up. She can't see anything yet since she was only a few days old, but she is quite sensitive to sound.
Big Stick and Little Stick were also very curious about this new member of the family, and they would often come to see her. If Xuanxuan cried, the two of them would whine and go around looking for someone to help.
That afternoon, the three of them sat in the classroom. Huang Xiaochuan sat between Ding Yi and Chen Zhe. Ding Yi seemed to smell something, as if the scent was coming from Huang Xiaochuan, so he sniffed all over Huang Xiaochuan.
Huang Xiaochuan was quite disgusted by Ding Yi's behavior: "Old Ding, when did you switch careers to become a police dog?"
Ding Yi ignored him and asked Chen Zhe, "Old Chen, can you smell a sour smell on the big shot? It smells like spoiled milk?"
When Ding Yi said that, Huang Xiaochuan remembered that when he held Xiao Xuanxuan at noon, the little one vomited milk, most of it on him. Because he was in a hurry to get to school, he didn't change his coat, he just wiped his clothes. He didn't expect Ding Yi's dog nose to smell it.
Chen Zhe also sniffed: "Xiao Chuan seems to have a sour smell."
"What do you mean 'seems like'? It's just good, isn't it?" Ding Yi was not very satisfied with Chen Zhe's reply.
Ding Yi, his face full of disgust, tried to move as far away from Huang Xiaochuan as possible: "Where did this weird smell come from?"
"My sister is staying at my house for her postpartum confinement. At noon, my niece vomited milk all over me. I guess it smelled like breast milk. Look how excited you are, like a husky!"
"Niece? Husky? Let's talk about niece later. Tell me what this 'husky' means. It doesn't sound like a nice thing." Ding Yi was always wary of the new words Huang Xiaochuan would occasionally use.
"A Siberian Husky! It's a breed of dog with a great personality and is very close to its owner."
Ding Yi looked at Huang Xiaochuan as if he were an idiot: "Do you think I'd believe that?"
Seeing his reaction, Huang Xiaochuan immediately thought of setting a trap for Ding Yi: "You'll know once you raise one. Do you want me to give you one? You can only get purebred dogs like this from overseas. I've never seen one in China."
Upon hearing that Huang Xiaochuan was going to give him a dog, and one that wasn't even available in China, Ding Yi relaxed his guard somewhat.
"Does it bite?" Although Ding Yi was afraid of dogs, he really wanted to have his own dog, and Huang Xiaochuan's words piqued his interest.
"Biting? Absolutely impossible. This kind of dog is naturally friendly to people. Even thieves are its friends." Huang Xiaochuan went against his conscience once again.
Chen Zhe's mouth immediately formed an "o" shape. What the hell is this dog? Relying on this kind of dog to guard the house is truly the worst luck imaginable.
However, when Ding Yi heard that the dog didn't bite and was friendly to everyone, he immediately took it to heart.
"Is she good-looking?"
"You dropped the 'ma' part. I'm not exaggerating, this dog is absolutely gorgeous! It looks like a wolf from the north, and it looks like a big, gentle wolfhound." Huang Xiaochuan was trying to get Ding Yi hooked, so he praised the husky to the skies.
"You're just bragging! I don't believe you at all!"
"Then go to the library or Xinhua Bookstore and find a book called 'World Famous Dogs' to look at the pictures. You'll know then that this kind of dog is called a Husky, which is also a sled dog used by the native people of the Arctic region."
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi began to believe it. It was good-looking, resembled a big wolfhound, and most importantly, had a good temper and didn't bite. It was practically the dog of his dreams!
"You mean what you say? You're really going to send me one?"
Huang Xiaochuan extended his palm: "Let's high-five as a pledge!"
Ding Yi reached out and gave Huang Xiaochuan a high five without hesitation.
"Anyone who doesn't give it to me is a bastard!"
"Anyone who doesn't want it is a bastard!"
After class, Huang Xiaochuan called Mai Guangde and asked him to find a way to get a purebred husky, and it had to be male, the more lively the better. Huang Xiaochuan felt that this was something that should either not be done at all, or it should be done quickly, to prevent Ding Yi from changing his mind.
Mai Guangde was a little confused about his boss's request, but he didn't care and just did as he was told. Maybe his boss was just throwing money away.
Since his niece was born, Huang Xiaochuan has found that his love for children has been awakened. Every day when he comes home, he has to hold Xiao Xuanxuan for a while. In his previous life, the child took her mother's surname, Zeng, but in this life, she took her father's surname, Tang. So Huang Xiaochuan holds her not only because he likes her, but also to confirm whether she is still the same niece.
However, judging from the current situation, apart from the change in surname, the child seems to be the same one from the previous life, so Huang Xiaochuan gradually put his mind at ease.
The baby's jaundice is gradually fading, and her skin is becoming whiter and whiter, just like her mother. Huang Xiaochuan is holding her in front of the window to bask in the sun. Because of the baby, the heating in the house was turned on early this year.
The room was warm and cozy. Little Xuanxuan lay comfortably on Huang Xiaochuan's arm, basking in the sun. Since she had just been fed, lying face down helped her expel the air from her stomach.
Yu Xiang also adored the baby and came over, saying, "Let me hold him for a while, you go and do your thing."
"Weren't you preparing your thesis?"
"I need a break, reading has made my head spin."
Huang Xiaochuan understood perfectly, because he sometimes did the same thing.
After a brief exchange, Yu Xiang took Xiao Xuanxuan from her.
Zeng Hong was sitting in the living room with her aunt, folding clothes and diapers for their pet. The pet needs to have several outfits changed and countless diapers put in it every day. It really eats and poops a lot!
"It's so good to have heating at home. If there were no heating, you would have to wash so many clothes every day and your hands would be swollen from the cold. I've been so comfortable during my postpartum period," Zeng Hong praised the heating system in the house to her aunt.
"You're only enjoying the benefits because of your younger brother. He's the one who cares about you and your sister. Otherwise, why would you be able to have your postpartum confinement in your cousin's room?"
"Mom!" Zeng Hong twisted her body unhappily.
My aunt's face hardened: "Did I say something wrong? Even though your younger brother is good to you, you should still be reasonable and know what's good for you! Your younger brother also has grandparents and two older brothers!"
Zeng Hong pursed her lips: "I understand!"
The aunt was reminding her eldest daughter to be mindful of her behavior. This was a life lesson learned from the wisdom of the older generation who had seen through the ways of the world. The aunt was worried about her husband's older sister, Huang Xiaochuan's biological mother, Zeng Lijuan.
However, Huang Xiaochuan had already considered this matter and had spoken to his aunt in private. He said he would take care of both sides. His aunt thought that although that was true, there should still be a sense of proportion. Moreover, all of this was based on the fact that his grandmother was still alive. If his grandmother were gone, his aunt would definitely not agree to Huang Xiaochuan's approach.
Huang Xiaochuan, who came up behind his aunt, heard her words clearly. After thinking for a moment, he didn't go over, but turned around and walked away.
Aunt's concerns were not unfounded. As her son, he knew his own mother Zeng Lijuan's temperament best. However, it was understandable. What mother would want to share her son with someone else, even if that person was very close to her? Therefore, this is the root cause of most poor mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships.
However, Huang Xiaochuan felt indebted to both of his mothers, and he couldn't bear to abandon either of them.
Therefore, how to handle these family matters is a true test of Huang Xiaochuan's emotional intelligence and IQ.
