(15) The arrival of the big black dog

On the second day after Xiao Jingshu just started to stay at home with her sister during the summer vacation, after Yao Zhiwen came home from work, her two daughters happily surrounded her as soon as she walked into the house. The youngest daughter, Jingrou, immediately stretched out a pair of small hands to her father and wanted her father to hug her, but her father did not immediately open his arms to pick her up as usual.

Just when Xiao Jingrou was looking at her father a little overwhelmed and stunned, Xiao Jingshu, who had been standing behind her, suddenly noticed that her father was strange today. Because Yao Zhiwen's arms were bulging, as if he was carrying something, Xiao Jingshu pointed to the bulging place and asked her father with some excitement: "Dad, what is in your arms?" ”

Yao Zhiwen stood still and didn't move, he looked at the two precious daughters and smiled instead of answering, but asked them a question: "Guess! ”

At this moment, even Xiao Jingrou was interested, she walked around her father, and then tilted her little head and said, "Dad, is it delicious?" ”

Yao Zhiwen still shook his head with a smile and said, "No! ”

Xiao Jingshu's eyes rolled and she guessed with a smile: "That's fun!" ”

Yao Zhiwen nodded and said, "Well, sort of!" ”

Seeing that her father still refused to tell them the answer, Xiao Jingshu said a little anxiously: "Dad, tell us quickly, it's really a hurry!" ”

At this time, the thing in Yao Zhiwen's arms suddenly moved, and two small dog barks were made. 

"It's a puppy!"

The two daughters were so excited that they screamed in unison. 

"You guessed it!"

Yao Zhiwen laughed happily, and then he gently took a little black dog out of his arms. 

Xiao Jingshu immediately cheered excitedly: "Yay! Yes! Dad, where did you get the puppy? ”

Xiao Jingrou also barked with bright eyes and said, "Dad, is this for our puppy?" ”

Seeing the two little ones jumping and barking excitedly, Yao Zhiwen smiled even more happily, he pointed to the puppy and patiently explained: "Yes, this is the puppy for the two of you!" It's only a month old, it's still a baby, you two have to take good care of it, you know? ”

Xiao Jingrou: "Mmmm! ”

Xiao Jingshu: "Okay, don't worry, Dad!" ”

The two little guys all patted their chests and packed the tickets, and the chicks pecked at the two little heads like rice, and happily agreed. 

Yao Zhiwen nodded with satisfaction, and then handed the puppy to the eldest daughter, Xiao Jingshu immediately carefully took the little black dog from her father's hand, and her sister was a little nervous, and also a little excited to observe the little furball.

The little black dog still looked like it was sleeping with its eyes closed, its chubby body was soft and hot, as if it would crush it if it was accidentally crushed, fragile and delicate. Xiao Jingshu followed her father's example and gently hugged the little black dog in her arms, trying her best to control the excitement in her heart, and didn't dare to talk as usual, for fear that the little black dog would be scared to sleep.

Xiao Jingrou looked at the little black dog in her sister's arms on the side, and wanted to hug it like her sister, but she was so nervous that she didn't even dare to come out, so she could only whisper to her sister: "Sister, when will the puppy wake up?" I want to hug it too! ”

"It's so small, it must love to sleep, little sister, you have to be light, don't make too much effort! Come on, I'll give you a hug for a while! ”

Xiao Jingshu also spoke quietly, and then gently put the little black dog in her arms in her arms. 

Xiao Jingrou was even more nervous now, she was even stiff and didn't dare to move, and when she finally felt the faint breath of the fluffy little life in her arms, the little guy was so excited that her face turned red all of a sudden. Xiao Jingrou really likes this little black dog so much, that kind of happiness to the extreme, it is really impossible to describe in words, it can simply be ranked first among the happiest feelings in her life.

Yao Zhiwen looked at the two baby daughters in front of him who were full of love for the little black dog, and they were both cautious and cautious, so he smiled softly and said: "This is a little male dog, Dad will make a nest for it in a while, you two should quickly think about what name to give it!" ”

When the two little ones heard their father say this, they stared at the little black dog even more intently, and they found that the little black dog's body was mostly black and shiny except for a little white and gray. So the two little ones began to use their brains and racked their brains to name the little black dog.

Both of them hoped that the little black dog would grow up quickly, so they decided to name it "Big Black"; I also hoped that the little black dog could become a powerful dog, so I gave it a nickname "Ah Li". So the little black dog officially became a member of this small family, and the arrival of the little black dog also added more joyful colors to this small family of four and brought more unforgettable touches. 

Yao Zhiwen quickly found a clean cardboard box, put a small mattress in the cardboard box, and made the big black kennel in a few clicks. The young ladies gently placed the big black in the kennel, and then squatted aside, watching its every move with great interest. 

The big black seemed to like his new home, and he opened his dark eyes, wagged his little tail and went around the kennel again and again, and then fell asleep comfortably on the little mat. 

At this moment, Shen Rumeng also came back from work, and as soon as she opened the door and walked into the house, the two baby daughters ran gently in front of her while making a quiet gesture. 

Xiao Jingshu whispered to her mother excitedly, "Mom, Dad got a little black dog back!" My little sister and I gave it a big name and a small name called Ah Li! ”

Xiao Jingrou also smiled and whispered to her mother: "Mom, the puppy is sleeping, don't wake it up!" ”

Shen Rumeng immediately pretended to know just now, and nodded with a smile to indicate that she knew, and then she was held by the left and right hands of the two daughters, and also walked to the kennel to look at the little black dog with them. 

The young lady lowered her voice, her eyebrows fluttered and she described everything about the puppy to her mother, and after laughing with them for a while, Shen Rumeng went to the kitchen to cook dinner, and she also made a bowl of corn paste for the puppy and poured a bowl of cold boiled water. Shen Rumeng asked her two baby daughters to put the two bowls of corn paste and water in the kennel, and also instructed the young ladies to teach them how to feed and take care of the puppies every day in the future. 

Xiao Jingshu was afraid that she would make a mistake, so she hurriedly found a pen and paper and wrote down everything her mother said. Xiao Jingrou stood beside her sister, watching her sister write seriously, she couldn't help but point at her little head as if she could understand, that cute little appearance, made her parents laugh all at once. 

With the company of Da Hei throughout the summer vacation, the two young ladies had a very fulfilling life. The two ladies are fully responsible for the puppy's eating, drinking, and Lazar, and they take good care of the puppy. 

Whenever it was dark during the day, Xiao Jingrou would run over and gently cover it with her flower handkerchief, for fear that its small body would catch a cold. And as soon as Da Hei wakes up, the two young ladies will immediately surround him, the elder sister will tell him a story with a book, and the younger sister will play with it with a toy, and the two little ones will be very busy! 

The little black dog grew up day by day under the careful care of the young lady, and the short black hair on its body gradually turned into a long hair with a little gray in the black, and the whole body grew almost ten times, and it became a strong big black dog in less than a year.

The small kennel made of cardboard boxes could no longer hold the huge body of the big black dog, so the kennel was moved from the inside of the house to the outside, and the cardboard box was changed to a large kennel made of red bricks. Yao Zhiwen used a long chain to tie Da Hei to the iron pillar on the edge of the kennel, and asked it to guard the small home of the four. 

Da Hei is a good dog who is both conscientious and very powerful, as long as someone approaches the small yard of the Yao family, it will call the owner loudly when it is far away. Even if the family came out to stop it, the big black would not stop its cry immediately, but would not slowly quiet down until someone came into the house or left. 

Since the family has the protection of Da Hei, Yao Zhiwen and Shen Rumeng, husband and wife, have become a lot more relieved about their two baby daughters who stay at home when they go out to work every day and are not at home. The young ladies are also very fond of their good companions, and the family treats the big black dog as a member of the family and takes special care of it, especially when the young ladies stay at home during the holidays.

Because the young ladies feel that Da Hei is always tied up outside, so when it comes to school and holidays, the young ladies will always untie the chains of Da Hei in distress, so that he can go in and out freely and play with them. After getting used to doing this, the time for Da Hei to be tethered became less and less, and there were many times when Da Hei would take advantage of the family's lack of attention, run out through the crack in the open door to play, and then don't know when he would come back when he had had enough. 

At first, the young lady and her two felt terrified as soon as they found out that Da Hei had slipped out, afraid that he would not find his way home. But later, after more times, the young ladies saw that Da Hei would return home safely every time he slipped out, so they became more and more at ease, and they often did not tie it.
