Chapter 434 Cabbage Beard
There were more than a dozen people to cook for, and there were many people, all grown men with big appetites. Shen Shuyu and the others served the dishes in basins, one basin at a time, and made six dishes in total.
There are two meat dishes and the rest are vegetarian. They are willing to use oil and the dishes taste not bad at all.
They are all grown men. Shen Qiu and the others ate in the kitchen and chatted in the yard after eating.
Gu Jiandong has been taking care of the child all the time, and he only puts the child in Shen Shuyu's arms when he feels sleepy.
Shen Qiu thought that she had nothing to do now, so she wanted to go to the military dog base to see the dogs. After eating, Wang Saozi also wanted to walk around. When she heard that she wanted to see the dogs, Wang Saozi immediately stood up.
"If you want to see it, let's go and take a look. If it suits our eyes, we can take it home and raise it."
"Then let's go take a look."
When Bai Luobo heard that they were going to the military dog base, he stopped lying at Gu Jiandong's feet and ran out, walking in front of Shen Shuyu and the others. After he walked away, he ran back to wait for them.
After about twenty minutes, they arrived at the military dog base. This was not the first time Shen Shuyu came to the military dog base. Bai Luobo would usually come here, and she would often come here to call it home.
White radish has many friends here. When it arrived, it ignored Shen Shuyu and the others and ran over to find its friends.
The dog trainer here, Team Leader Chen, knew Shen Shuyu and Wang Saozi, and came over to say hello, "Sister-in-law, you're here?"
Normally, sisters-in-law would often come here and stand at the edge of the isolation to watch the military dog training. Didn’t Squad Leader Chen find it strange to see sisters-in-law coming here?
"Sister Xiaoqiu, the wife of Deputy Captain Jiang, wants to come here to adopt a dog." Sister Wang pointed at Shen Qiu and spoke.
Hearing about adopting a dog, dog trainer Chen's smile deepened. "Adopt a dog? Then you've come to the right place. The dogs here are all good dogs. It's guaranteed to be worth it if you adopt one. Come with me, sisters-in-law."
Squad leader Chen brought three people to the kennel. Every kennel here was cleaned very cleanly and there was no smell at all.
Squad leader Chen stopped at a kennel. "Here it is. Sister-in-law, what size dog do you want to raise? These are all puppies that are only one or two months old. There are also big ones. The big ones are in the front."
Sister Wang suggested, "Sister Xiaoqiu, it's better to raise a dog from a young age, so that it will be close to you."
Although a big dog can guard the house after you adopt it, you may be worried that it may not be close to you or be disobedient. You can't just abandon it when the time comes, right?
Shen Shuyu has no resistance to these fluffy dogs. They are all so cute that she wants to take them all home.
But there is already White Radish at home. If she raises another one, she can ignore it for two months. The last time she went back to Shenjiaba Brigade, she touched someone else's dog, and the dog ignored her for three days. She felt very bad for being ignored by the furry child.
Shen Qiu was already squatting down to pet these cute dogs. There were so many of them that Shen Qiu was thinking about which one to take home. "I'll raise the small one. The small one is adorable."
The dogs are small, making the kennel look big. There are about thirty or so kennels in it. These are the eliminated ones with various defects. Their bodies are not suitable to be military dogs, but they have no problem being guard dogs.
Probably because they knew someone was going to take them home, the puppies all crowded in front of Shen Qiu. Only one puppy was pushed into a corner by the other dogs, and it kept whimpering.
Shen Qiu noticed it only after hearing its cry, and picked it up with one hand.
In the eyes of Shen Shuyu and the others, these puppies all look the same. Team leader Chen, who often greets them, knows every dog well. Seeing Shen Qiu pick up the dogs and introduce them to her, "Sister-in-law, the one you are holding is called Xiaotuan. It is born weak and is already two months old. It is often defeated by its brothers and sisters, which is why it looks so small."
"I was wondering why it was so small. It turns out it can't compete with its brothers and sisters. Sister Qiu, why don't you take a look at other ones? This one in my hand is pretty good. It's lively and jumping around. If I take it home, it will definitely be a good watchdog."
Mrs. Wang’s earnest suggestion is that when choosing a dog, you should pick one that looks energetic. If it can’t even bark, and you have to take care of it when you bring it home, that’s not a good idea.
Shen Shuyu touched this one and teased that one, without saying a word, to see which one Shen Qiu liked.
The little girl in Shen Qiu's hand stayed obediently in Shen Qiu's hand, licking Shen Qiu with her tongue from time to time and looking at her with watery eyes.
Shen Qiu couldn't let go all of a sudden, "I want to adopt Xiaotuan."
Squad leader Chen was very happy, "Okay, I'll get some goat milk for my sister-in-law. Xiaotuan is weak, and drinking goat milk will be good for him.
Xiaotuan is the descendant of a military dog. The bloodline is there. My sister-in-law will not be disappointed if she raises one.
It's just that it's still small, so sister-in-law needs to spend a little more effort and remember to feed it."
Afraid that Shen Qiu might think it was difficult to raise and want to give up, squad leader Chen explained, "Xiao Tuan doesn't need goat milk every day. If you have it, give it to him. If you don't have it, it's okay. Just give it whatever you eat."
Xiaotuan was born weak. It was okay for him to be raised in the army, but no one would want him if he was given away. Now that there is not enough food, most people would not choose to raise a dog as they think it is a waste of food.
People who want to keep dogs do so because they need them to guard the house. If a dog looks weak, people will only despise it.
Squad leader Chen was also worried about who to give Xiaotuan to. Now, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore, as the family of Deputy Captain Jiang has come to adopt him.
These dogs do not meet the requirements to be military dogs, and there are no military families willing to adopt them. The army can only send these dogs outside and try to find good families who treat dogs well to adopt them.
"Big sister, what do you think of Xiaotuan?"
You can tell at a glance that Xiaotuan is weaker than the other dogs. If it were someone else, they would definitely not choose him.
"That's fine. If Xiaoqiu likes it, take it home." It's okay if it's a little weak. At most she can feed it spiritual spring water once or twice, and Xiaotuan will be almost the same as other dogs.
They live in the family compound. There is no place safer than here. They don't need Xiaotuan to watch over the house, and it won't affect them at all even if they are not fed spiritual spring water.
Squad leader Chen filled a can of goat milk, and Shen Qiu carried Xiaotuan home.
Jiang Ziqiang didn't even know she had adopted a dog until she brought the dog home.
"Ziqiang, look at the dog I adopted. Isn't it cute?"
The dogs all look the same, they are all the same breed, Jiang Ziqiang can't tell what's good about them, but his wife brought them back, so even if they weren't good-looking, she would still say they were good-looking, "Good-looking, Xiaoqiu, you have a good eye, but why does this dog seem so dull?"
"It's a bit weak, just feed it well."
"Have you chosen a name?"
"Squad leader Chen said its name is Xiaotuan, but now that it's back home, I want to give it a name, so let's call it Bai Caixu. What do you think? My eldest sister has a white radish at home, so our dog is called Bai Luobo. People will know they are from the same family as soon as they hear it."
Jiang Ziqiang wanted to laugh but he held it back. Bai Caixu, that's pretty casual.
"Okay, this name sounds nice. They both have the surname Bai, so it and the white radish will be brothers from now on."
