First Assistant’s Petite Wife Has Space

Chapter 42 - Take Responsibility for your Puppies

Chapter 42: Take Responsibility for your Puppies

Translator: CokeZero  Editor: Rainystars

The four little ones quickly picked their puppy. The puppy had black fur all over its body with a ring of yellow fur around its neck. The First Born cuddled the puppy, overjoyed. The other three excitedly looked over at him.

The funny thing was that the litter’s mother followed the little ones around. She wasn’t angry at all and followed around the children docilely.

When Lu Jiao saw that the First Born had already taken his pick, she embarrassingly said to Third Grandma, “Third Grandma, I’m sorry for this.”

The Third Grandma waved around her hand, “We can’t afford so many dogs. I even asked around to see if anyone wanted one. Since you want it, take it home with you.”

Lu Jiao raised a brow and asked, “Are you giving away the other puppies too?”

The Third Grandma realized that Lu Jiao wanted another one and didn’t decline. She really couldn’t afford to have so many puppies. Her dog gave birth to four puppies. It would be too cruel to abandon any of them or starve them to death. It was good that someone wanted them.

“If you want, you can take home another one to raise.”

The quadruplets excitedly looked over to Lu Jiao, “Mom, we get two?!”

Lu Jiao smiled, “Do you want two?”

“Of course!” The quadruplets turned their heads towards Gousheng. Gousheng was a little hesitant to let the puppies go but he knew that Grandma wanted the puppies gone. Rather than give them away to strangers, he preferred the quadruplets.

“It’s fine to give you another one. However, if the third aunty makes any more fun toys, give me one.”

The First Born thought about it and respectfully nodded, “Okay.”

The young friends came to an agreement and the quadruplets ended up picking a white dog with black spots.

With the puppies picked, Lu Jiao prepared to leave with the four little ones. Before they left, she asked the four little ones to say bye to Third Grandma and Gousheng’s mom.

She decided that from now on, she was going to correct all the bad habits the four little ones had. She was going to teach them to be respectful and polite.

Though she was going to separate from Xie Yunjin in the future, she could try to correct as many bad habits as possible.

The mother and sons, along with the two puppies, walked their way home. Of course, Gousheng followed them because he wanted the bamboo copter.

Lu Jiao thanked the Second Grandma. If it weren’t for Second Grandma, she never would’ve mustered the courage to go to the Third Grandma’s house. She ended up getting two puppies and a good relationship with Third Grandma. What a good deal.

The quadruplets happily carried back the two puppies and went to gloat to Xie Yunjin.

Xie Yunjin couldn’t believe that Lu Jiao agreed to bring back two puppies. These days, there wasn’t even enough food to go around for people, let alone two dogs.

Xie Yunjin raised an eyebrow and asked the quadruplets, “Your mother didn’t get angry?”

Lu Jiao walked in then and heard him. Angry, she explained, “I was the one who suggested getting dogs. Why would I be angry? You think of me so lowly.”

She glared at Xie Yunjin and then said to the First Born, “Give the bamboo copter to Gousheng.”

Gousheng happily waved around the bamboo copter in his hand, “Third aunty, I got it here.”

He excitedly waved the toy around.

Lu Jiao thought about it and decided to make more toys for the quadruplets. There wasn’t a lot of fun entertainment for children during this era.

As for the two puppies, they had to be the four little ones’ responsibilities.

Lu Jiao looked over to the four little ones and said seriously, “From now on, you are responsible for the two puppies. Taking care of these puppies isn’t just a temporary fun thing you do. You can’t give up after just two days. Since you’ve decided to take in these puppies, you have to take care of them forever. You have to feed them and clean their home, understand?”

The four little ones nodded aggressively and promised, “Mommy, we promise to take good care of Soot and Marble”

Lu Jiao was surprised. They’ve already named the dogs?

“Soot and Marble?”

The First Born picked up the black dog, “This is Soot.”

The Second Born picked up the white dog with black spots, “This is Marble.”

“Alright, you are free to name them. Just remember to feed them. You also have to remember to keep them clean. Once the dogs get accustomed to our home, give them a bath. You can only hug them after they’re clean.”

Gousheng instantly chimed in, “Third aunty, there’s no need to bathe dogs. They can go into the river to clean themselves.”

Lu Jiao raised an eyebrow and explained to them why dogs need bathing.

Without bathing, the dogs could easily get fleas. The puppies are still young but once they’re older, they’ll get fleas when they get too unclean. After she explained, she let Xie Yunjin know of her plans before she left.

“Keep an eye on the kids. I’m going to do some gardening.”

Xie Yunjin watched her leave then looked over at the five happy children in the room. His feelings were complex.

She’s only been here for so many days and now his children were fed with good food, good drinks, and even got puppies. No longer the anxious and unsettled four little ones, they were now happy and confident.

All these changes were because of that woman.

Xie Yunjin couldn’t help but think that it might not be the worst thing if the woman stayed to raise the four little ones.

Outside the room, Lu Jiao found a thick wooden stick and made it into a hoe. She then started to loosen up the soil around the fence in preparation for gardening.

She didn’t go ask around for vegetable seeds as she had those in her space. She had onion, green onion, lettuce, spinach, dill, and so on. She even had long beans, eggplants, and tomatoes.

She originally planned on planting all that into her space but she realized she had little room in there and it would be a waste to fill it with food. So in the end, she didn’t plant those in there and only kept the seeds.

Nothing rots in her space so nothing bad has happened to her seeds.

After half a day, Lu Jiao managed to make two plots of soil work before going to the back and plowing two more.

She was strong so using the hoe was easy peasy.

After the soil was prepared, she placed the seeds into the soil and watered the land. For the water, she infused some of her spiritual stream water in there.

With the nourishment from the spiritual stream water, the seeds would quickly sprout. She didn’t dare to use too much, scared that it might cause unusualness and garner too much attention.

For lunch, she made rice and cut up the already braised pig head. She also gave pig heart to Xie Yunjin but didn’t give him too much of it. In addition to that, she made him a bowl of steamed eggs and a bowl of egg soup.

The four little ones each had a bowl of soup.

After lunch, the Fourth Born rubbed his belly and bloated to Lu Jiao, “Mummy, my belly is looking like a drum.”

Worried that he might get too bloated, Lu Jiao told him to stand up and walk around.

“Go take a stroll with Marble and Soot in the yard.”

The four little ones felt energized by the idea and happily went on a walk with the dogs. Sadly, the puppies were unfamiliar with this place and were very scared to walk around. In the end, the four little ones carried the dogs and went to build them a home.

Inside the room, Lu Jiao fed Xie Yunjin while she informed, “When the four little ones nap later, I plan on going up the mountains to hunt some animals. I’ll bring those to my mother’s tomorrow. It’s bad to go back empty-handed.”

Xie Yunjin noticed how Lu Jiao hadn’t even taken a break today and couldn’t help but to check her out.

He realized that Lu Jiao had slimmed down. Not only was she slimmer now, her skin was also better. Since they were so close to each other, he could smell the sweetness of her skin. How refreshing.
