223 Chapter 222, Someone With A Fiancé
Uncle Gong was too kind. He had a good temper and was good at Kung Fu. He seemed to know everything.
Unfortunately, such a good Uncle Gong was not from their family.
Ji Yuanyuan sighed and looked away.
“Why do you always sigh at such a young age?” Li Miao was behind Ji Yuanyuan. She could not help but ask when she heard Ji Yuanyuan sigh.
Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes lit up when she saw Li Miao.
A moment later, she ran to Gong Wenbai and tugged at the corner of Gong Wenbai’s shirt.
Li Miao shook her head helplessly when she saw that her niece did not answer her but ran to Gong Wenbai instead.
Gong Wenbai turned around and saw her. He smiled and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Uncle Gong, do you have a girlfriend?” Ji Yuanyuan asked with a smile.
Qin Mucheng was right in front of Gong Wenbai. When he heard the voice, he ran over and looked at Ji Yuanyuan warily. “Why are you asking this?”
“I’m just asking. What’s wrong?” Ji Yuanyuan looked at Qin Mucheng in surprise.
“Ji Yuanyuan!” Qin Mucheng suddenly called her by her first name.
Ji Yuanyuan was stunned when she heard that. “Ah?”
“You are someone with a fiancé. You can’t be with Uncle Gong.”
At this moment, Ji Yuanyuan was like a black man with a question mark on her face.
“I’m just asking. When did I say I’m going to be with Uncle Gong?”
Seeing this, Gong Wenbai smiled brightly.
“Then why did you ask if Uncle Gong has a girlfriend?” Qin Mucheng looked incredulous.
“I was just asking.” Ji Yuanyuan looked at Qin Mucheng seriously and answered again.
Qin Mucheng touched his nose and said embarra.s.sedly, “Oh!”
Gong Wenbai saw that their case was over, so he continued, “I don’t have a girlfriend yet. Are you going to introduce someone to me?”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded thoughtfully. “It’s not impossible!”
Gong Wenbai naturally didn’t take these words seriously.
…
There was strength in numbers. With so many people working together, the efficiency was especially high.
By three o’clock in the afternoon, a tricycle had already been loaded.
Li Lei drove, and Li Yong followed. The two of them first sent a cargo to Li Xu’s shop.
Zhang Kun was in the shop, and the three of them quickly finished unloading.
In less than an hour, Li Lei and Li Yong returned.
When the second cargo was loaded, the children were no longer in the mood to work and ran off to play on the road.
Ji Zi’ang climbed up and down on the tricycle and was very curious.
Ji Yuanyuan took Qin Mucheng to the side to pull out radishes. They washed away the dirt on the radishes that had just been pulled out and then peeled off the outer layer of skin with their bare hands.
After cleaning up, Ji Yuanyuan handed the radishes to Qin Mucheng.
“Try it. It’s not spicy at all. It’s even a little sweet.”
Hearing that, Qin Mucheng took the radishes with some hesitation.
Under Ji Yuanyuan’s gaze, he carefully took a bite. After chewing for a while, he was surprised to find…
“It’s really not spicy!”
Seeing Qin Mucheng’s surprised look, Ji Yuanyuan pursed her lips and snickered.
This little trick could only fool a city kid like Qin Mucheng who didn’t know much about life.
Children in the countryside had been eating radishes as a fruit since they were young.
At this moment, Qin Mucheng suddenly stopped. He blinked and asked, “Did you hear anything?”
Hearing that, Ji Yuanyuan held her breath. Then, she realized that there really was something.
The two of them looked at each other and listened carefully while searching around.
The two of them searched for a long time before they finally found the source of the sound.
Qin Mucheng reached out his hand and carefully pried open the withered gra.s.s on the ground. In the middle of the withered gra.s.s, there was a small dog the size of a palm lying on it.
It had its eyes closed and was making whimpering sounds. Its body was still wet as if it was stained with blood, and it was trembling all over.
Qin Mucheng quickly picked up the puppy. He was not afraid of being dirty and directly put it in his arms to keep it warm.
“It seems to be a newborn puppy,” Ji Yuanyuan said in a low voice.
Qin Mucheng carried it and came to the small house where Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming had been living.
The small house was still relatively warm with the stove burning.
Qin Mucheng carefully put the puppy in his arms next to the stove.
After waiting for a while, its whole body warmed up, but the puppy was still whimpering and shivering.
“Is he hungry? What does it eat?” Ji Yuanyuan had never raised a dog before, so he knew almost nothing about raising a dog.
“I don’t know either.” Qin Mucheng shook his head helplessly.
“Is it milk powder? Newborn babies need milk powder,” Ji Yuanyuan guessed.
There were no children in the Li family, so naturally, there was no milk powder at home. There was no place to sell milk powder in the village.
Qin Mucheng was a little anxious. “Then what should we do?”
Seeing this, Ji Yuanyuan hurriedly ran into the shed and found Li Xu. She asked anxiously, “Mommy, what does a newborn puppy need to eat?”
Li Xu was a little puzzled, but she still answered very seriously, “It needs milk just like a baby.”
“But its mother is missing. What can we do without milk?”
Li Xu finally realized something was wrong. “What dog? Where is it?”
“Brother Mucheng and I found it over there just now. It seems to have just been born. There are still traces of blood on his body.” Ji Yuanyuan pointed to the place where the dog was picked up.
“If it doesn’t have breast milk, it’s okay to drink goat milk, right?” Li Xu was a little uncertain. Then, she looked at Liu Guihua. “Mom, do Third Uncle have sheep?”
Liu Guihua nodded and said, “He does have a few.”
Li Xu led Ji Yuanyuan out of the shed. “Wait here. I’ll go to your Third Grandpa’s house to get some sheep’s milk.”
Ji Yuanyuan nodded impatiently. “Mom, you have to hurry up. He looks so hungry.”
Li Xu nodded and rode the bicycle on the ground before leaving.
When Ji Yuanyuan returned to the hut, Qin Mucheng hurriedly asked, “How is it?”
“My Mommy said that it could drink goat’s milk, so she went to the neighbors to get it.” As Ji Yuanyuan spoke, she squatted down and reached out to gently stroke the puppy on the ground. “Puppy, you’ll have food in a while!”
Qin Mucheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that.
The two of them guarded the puppy in the hut. Li Xu came back in less than twenty minutes.
She rode the bike with one hand and carried a bowl with the other, walking carefully.
She stopped the bike on the ground and hurried over with the bowl.
“Quick, it’s still warm!” She put the bowl on the ground.
Ji Yuanyuan reached out and touched it. The bowl was indeed warm.
Qin Mucheng carried the puppy and put its head into the bowl.
However, the puppy was too small. It didn’t know how to drink milk at all. It only knew how to smell with its nose and didn’t even open its mouth.
Qin Mucheng was extremely anxious. “What should we do?”
Ji Yuanyuan looked around and saw that Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming were eating in the corner of the hut.
There was a spoon among them.
