Chapter 34 The Axe Was Swung into a Shadow

Nowadays, families are not able to eat enough and are unwilling to keep dogs. It's not that they don't like them, but they think they can't afford them and that there's not much use for them. They say it's unnecessary to keep a dog to guard the house. Every family is poor and there's nothing valuable that would be worth a thief's attention.

Shen Shuyu turned her head slightly, her beautiful eyes showing a little anger, "Aunt, I like dogs, I want to raise one."

"Oh, my dear, don't be angry, don't be angry, I will raise her, raise her. If anyone dares to say anything, I will make her get out of the Shen family." Old Mrs. Shen couldn't bear to see her good granddaughter angry, so she glared at her eldest daughter-in-law.

"Old man, my dear baby can raise whatever he wants and do whatever he wants. As an aunt, don't spoil my dear baby's fun. It's just a dog. We can still afford to raise it."

Zhang Cuicui patted her mouth and said, "It's all my fault that my mouth can't speak. If Shu Yu wants to raise the dog, then go ahead. I'll help you feed the dog from now on."

My eldest niece hasn't acted up for a while, and she almost forgot her ancestor's temper. If she really gets angry, she can tear this family apart. If she upsets her parents-in-law's beloved, she will become the sinner of this family.

"Hmph, that's more like it." Shen Shuyu picked up the white radish and said, "Grandma, I named this dog White Radish. Do you think it sounds good?"

White Radish was sleeping soundly. When someone picked him up, his eyelids were lifted. He hummed twice and continued to sleep with his eyes closed. He was very carefree.

Old Lady Shen praised immediately, "It sounds nice. My sweet baby is indeed a high school graduate. The name he chose is different and has personality."

Zhang Cuicui: "..." What does this have to do with whether or not you go to high school? This name is too random.

Li Caixia ran to the toilet as soon as she came back, and squatted until her legs were numb before coming out. "What are you doing in the yard? Hey, where did this puppy come from? It's black and cute."

"Second Aunt, this is a puppy I picked up in the mountains. It's called White Radish."

"I picked it up. You're pretty lucky." Li Caixia knew her niece wanted to get a dog. She didn't say anything. It was nice to have a dog at home, and her daughter also liked dogs.

Shen Shuyu said that she wanted to make a doghouse for the white radish, and when Old Lady Shen heard this, she assigned the task to her eldest son.

"Boss, there are a few wooden boards at home. You can build a nest for the white radish."

It is not difficult to provide a whole kennel for the dog. Uncle Shen arranged it in half an hour. "Shu Yu, can you come and take a look?"

Uncle Shen has some carpentry skills. The wooden board was rough, but he planed it specially. At first glance, the doghouse looks quite finely made.

"Uncle, this doghouse is really nice. No wonder my grandma said you are the most reliable person in our family."

"You are a child who always tells the truth." Uncle Shen was a little flattered by his niece's praise. He felt that the doghouse was not good enough, so he took a hammer and a saw and started hammering and hammering on it, intending to make a better-looking doghouse.

The white radish is only about two months old. It still has a milky aroma and is plump. Everyone in the family likes it.

Usually, Shen Jiabao, Jiawei, and Jiaguo would chop firewood when they came home. But today, there was a new member in the family, so the three brothers stopped chopping firewood and just sat in the yard playing with the dog.

The little guy sleeps really well. Several people take turns to touch and hug him without him even batting an eyelid.

"Jiabao, Jiawei, Jiaguo, stop playing with the dog. The door to the courtyard and the threshold of the main hall are broken. Find something to fix them."

Old Mrs. Shen couldn't stand it because they were so grown up and still played with dogs, so she started to find jobs for her three grandsons.

While the three brothers were working, Gu Jiandong held the white radish tightly in his arms. This dog was a gift from Shu Yu. Actually, he didn't like others to touch his dog.

He wanted to lose his temper, but then he remembered his parents' instructions, so he held back. He was a good boy and couldn't lose his temper or cause trouble for Shu Yu.

Seeing that he was a little unhappy, Shen Shuyu asked him, "Gu Jiandong, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Jiandong shook his head, "No."

Shen Shuyu thought about it, pulled him into the house, closed the door, and asked Gu Jiandong to sit on the kang. She pretended to open the cabinet to take something, but actually took out the rabbit she had roasted last time from the space. This roasted rabbit was still hot.

"Ting ting ting! Look what I'm holding?"

The fragrant roasted rabbit meat was placed in front of him, and Gu Jiandong's mouth was almost watering, "It's meat!"

"Yes, it's meat. It smells so good. Put the white radish down and go wash your hands." There was a wooden barrel in the room, half filled with water. It was brought in by Shen Shuyu in the morning.

After washing his hands, Shen Shuyu pulled a leg for him and said, "Eat this. It has a lot of meat and is very fragrant."

Shen Shuyu also ate a leg. The two of them ate roasted rabbit in the house. Gu Jiandong's cheeks were bulging with food, like a little hamster.

The white radish was still small and could not chew the bones, so Shen Shuyu just licked it. The little guy had been drinking milk since birth, and now he felt a different taste and found it very strange. He barked and you could tell from the sound that he was very happy.

Most of the roasted rabbit went into Gu Jiandong's stomach, and Shen Shuyu only ate the leg.

After eating the meat, Gu Jiandong had forgotten all his unhappiness, and now he was like a happy big dog.

"Shu Yu, this meat is so delicious." After saying that, he licked his oily fingers with an unsatisfied look.

This was the most delicious thing he had eaten since he went to the countryside. Shu Yu was so kind to him.

"It's delicious. I'll grill it for you later. But you can't tell anyone else about eating meat. If you tell anyone, we won't have any meat to eat."

"I won't tell anyone. I'll listen to Shu Yu."

After eating, she asked him to wash his hands and poured two bowls of water for him to rinse his mouth. Only after making sure that there was no taste in his mouth did Shen Shuyu open the door.

After eating the meat, Gu Jiandong was half full. For dinner, he had a bowl of corn porridge and was full.

Old Mrs. Shen was afraid that he would not have enough to eat and would be hungry in the middle of the night, so she said she would serve him a bowl of rice.

Gu Jiandong touched his stomach and said, "Grandma Shen, I'm full. I don't want to eat anymore."

Shen Shuyu ate some vegetables and half a bowl of rice porridge and said she was full. After eating, the two of them sat in the yard to enjoy the breeze.

Gu Jiandong saw that there was a lot of firewood that had not been chopped in the firewood room. After thinking for a while, he carried the white radish to the firewood room, sat on a small stool, touched the white radish's head, and put it aside.

He picked up the axe and started chopping, splitting the wood into three pieces.

Shen Shuyu was still worried that he would hit himself with the axe. Just when she was about to tell him to put down the axe, she saw him chopping wood with great ease, and the axe became a shadow.

The Shen family members came out after hearing the noise, and were surprised to see how skillfully he chopped the wood.

"Oh, this child is really hardworking."

"This kid is really energetic."

Gu Jiandong had only been chopping for half an hour when he had almost finished chopping all the large pieces of wood.

The more Zhang Cuicui and Li Caixia look at Gu Jiandong, the more they like him. Although this child is naive, he has a lot of life in his eyes.

No one in the family expected the child to help with the housework.

It's another matter if he will take the initiative to do something if you don't expect him to. Look, how popular this kid is.
