Chapter 293: 293. Qiaoqiao’s Pacification Work_1 Chapter 293: 293. Qiaoqiao’s Pacification Work_1 But this time, Seventh Uncle guessed wrong.
When he told Song Tan that he wanted to send his son two pounds of tea leaves, Song Tan immediately waved her hand grandly:
“Seventh Uncle, what money are you talking about? Isn’t that a slap in my face?”
“Qiaoqiao is so smart and clever now, thanks to your careful guidance! Come on, my uncle is at the border, right? Take two pounds of tea leaves, and another two pounds of honey, I’ll also pack two pounds of silver ear mushrooms for you!”
“There’s plenty of everything else over there, and now that it’s the off-season, vegetables can’t be shipped that far anyway…”
While she spoke, she didn’t even give Seventh Uncle a chance to rebut, and immediately went to find Wu Lan to help with the packing.
Old Song’s family was all full of passion and vigor–Wu Lan momentarily thought of that apartment…
But, Qiaoqiao can cook several dishes now!
My goodness! It still had to be Seventh Uncle as the master! She had learned quite a lot of knowledge, and it looked like she wouldn’t have to worry about her skills in the future. She had long wanted to express her gratitude to Seventh Uncle!
After all, he eats three meals a day, often voluntarily works overtime, and Tantan pays him so little each month…
Wu Lan often felt quite embarrassed when she thought about it; this time while packing, she weighed everything heavily and didn’t give Seventh Uncle any time to stop her, and the goods were ready in no time.
They just waited for Brother Xiaozhang to come over next time, so they could ship it right away.
With all of this, he felt somewhat awkward at heart.
He tried to restrain himself, but still couldn’t hold back a smile. With a spring in his step, he sat back on his little stool and resumed scrolling through his short videos.
Seventh Grandma watched from the side. At that moment, she heard Aunt Lianhua’s mother-in-law whispering to her, “Is he still watching that video, watching it over and over without moving?”
Mainly because there was this particularly grating laughter, looping over and over.
Seventh Grandma hummed, “Don’t bother with him, he’s secretly enjoying himself.”
He wasn’t happy about saving money, but about the kindness and intention of Tantan and Lao Song’s family.
Although the heavy rain came quickly and left swiftly, the sky turned darker earlier than usual, and everywhere was damp.
So Seventh Uncle decided to have dinner earlier tonight and go home early as it was getting dark.
As soon as Qiaoqiao heard this she perked up, taking the initiative to pick up a bucket, “I’ll go feed the babies first!”
Thinking it over, she turned her head and took the fifth, sixth, and seventh babies with her, then solemnly said to Song Tan, “Sister, they have grown up now; it’s time for you to assign them duties.”
Song Tan looked at the small earth-colored dogs that had grown from palm-sized to still not very big, then back at Qiaoqiao, and suddenly realized the essence of her capital!
Then, with a grand wave of her hand, “Okay, let’s do this: place one by the big boss, and one each by the black fungus and silver ear mushroom plots in the Chestnut Forest, and have their elders teach them.”
Qiaoqiao looked at the three little dogs that only knew how to playfully jump around his legs and nodded contentedly.
First, he went to the Chestnut Garden.
Because it was the furthest, Qiaoqiao always spent an extra half an hour every time he went to feed them, playing and talking with them.
Now, walking along the muddy path and entering the Chestnut Garden, he looked at the lush soybean stalks in the garden, the neatly arranged rows of silver ear and black fungus mushrooms in the distance, and the chestnut trees overhead beginning to sprout flowers…
Although he didn’t know how much money they could fetch, sister must be delighted!
After walking around the fence, whether it was Golden Sakura’s doing or whether Dabao and Erbao were exceptionally effective, the whole wall of Golden Sakura was tightly and lushly budded.
Even after the rain, the white flowers on the branches were still tremblingly blooming, with occasional drops of crystal-clear water beads falling.
Exceptionally ethereal.
If Zhu Li saw this, she would have started a livestream by now.
He had watched for too long and had become somewhat numb to it all, so he opened the wicket gate adeptly and walked down the path.
Because of the recent rain, Dabao and Erbao were dutifully lying on the straw pile in their little house. Hearing movement, they eagerly came over, nuzzling up to Qiaoqiao with joy.
Dabao, the Casro, with his glossy pure black fur, now had especially gentle brown eyes. His round head rubbed against Qiaoqiao’s leg, causing him to instinctively set down the bucket and embrace Dabao with a series of affectionate murmurs.
It was hard to tell who exactly was considered the baby in the eyes of the two dogs.
Erbao, the Du Bin, had pure black fur with a brownish hue, and his pointed ears stood up–an even clingier and more affectionate creature than Dabao.
At that moment, his slender face nudged its way into Qiaoqiao’s arms, quietly edging Dabao out of the way before also beginning to whimper and seek attention.
Qiaoqiao petted both of them, then pushed forward the little native dog following behind him:
“Dabao, Erbao, this is Wubao; you have to teach him how to work well!”
Then he sighed, “If it’s too boring up in the mountains, you can switch places. You can take turns with Dawang, or even with Sanbao or Sibao.”
However, after he finished speaking, the two dogs simultaneously let out a soft “Woof,” clearly indicating their disagreement.
In their view, their work station was this Chestnut Woods, and arbitrary changes were simply not acceptable!
They couldn’t leave until the woods bore fruit and their mission was completed.
Besides… although the dogs couldn’t talk and wouldn’t admit it, they could run around throughout the entire Chestnut Woods, including the surrounding mountains.
Chasing sparrows, pouncing on butterflies, watching ants, and even catching glimpses of wild rabbits scampering secretly in the distant tea plantation… all this was much better than being at the base!
Moreover… another little toy had arrived!
Dabao’s brown eyes were fixed on the clueless Wubao.
At that moment, with a “Woof,” he pressed a paw on the little native dog’s forehead.
After soothing Dabao and Erbao, Qiaoqiao then proceeded to the fields.
The vegetable garden continuously yielded crops and was replenished just as fast; it remained lush and verdant.
The chili plants had grown quite tall, sporadically adorned with small white blossoms, while the cucumber vines had long since scaled the trellises. Little yellow flowers were hidden among the green leaves, with some areas already boasting finger-thick young cucumbers.
And then there were the eggplants…
All in all, thinking of the varied tastes of the vegetables in the field, Qiaoqiao found himself looking forward to it even more.
Sanbao and Sibao, with their long legs, quickly arrived upon hearing Qiaoqiao’s movements–one darting out from the bamboo grove, the other from the weeds of the neighboring field.
Although they didn’t bring back any catch, they were covered in leaves sticking to their heads and bodies. Qiaoqiao took the opportunity to pass another Bao for them to take care of.
Finally, he picked up another bucket to go feed the pigs and see Dawang on the mountain.
However, just as he turned towards the back mountain, Big White’s loud barks sounded alarmingly–
This… was there a fight about to happen?!
Qiaoqiao hurriedly carried the bucket and rushed up the back mountain, but after searching around, he couldn’t find the familiar little yellow cap.
It was only when he reached the chicken coop beside the pig pen that he saw Big White standing impressively amongst a group of drab, moulting chicks, an unchallengeable presence!
