Chapter 551: Chapter 506, Selling Seeds_1

Ever since Daohua arrived, Xiao Yeyang’s mood had clearly improved, and both Granny Gu and Gu Jian breathed a sigh of relief upon noticing it.

Seeing the smiles return to the faces of the two elderly people, Caiju and Dongli also secretly relieved their own tension. The previous outburst from the old lady had triggered a relapse of her chronic condition, almost scaring them to death. Now, the anxiety they had been carrying could finally be put to rest. After finishing their chores, they found time to retreat to their rooms to send a letter to Beijing.

“Why on earth did you decide to raise dogs?”

Watching the seven puppies running around the courtyard, Gu Jian couldn’t help but turn towards his apprentice.

Squatting down, Daohua patted Xiaoyi’s head, “Dogs are loyal and have keen noses. I want to train them to protect our home, and if necessary, they can also help find people.”

Xiao Yeyang had heard from Yan Wenkai about Daohua raising dogs and walked over to look at the seven puppies, “These seem like hunting dogs.”

Daohua responded with a look that said ‘you have a good eye.’

Xiao Yeyang squatted down in front of Daohua, “My uncle’s trusted aide also has a hunting dog. It accompanies him in marches and battles and has earned its master several merits.”

Immediately, Daohua said, “Is that so? Would you like to raise a few then?”

Xiao Yeyang, smiling, rubbed Xiaoyi’s head, “You already have seven here, let’s raise them together.”

After thinking for a moment, Daohua smiled, “All right, when Xiaoyi and Xiao’er grow up, I’ll give you one.”

Xiao Yeyang said with a smile, “Didn’t we agree to raise them together? That means they’re mine too, why would you need to give me one?”

Daohua, at a loss for words, “You sure know how to take advantage of a situation.”

Xiao Yeyang asked with a grin, “What, you can’t bear it?”

With a sideways glance, Daohua conceded, “I can’t deal with you. Fine, if you say they’re yours, then they’re yours.”

Xiao Yeyang laughed, “I’ve seen others train dogs, I’ll teach you.”

“That would be great!”

In the courtyard, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang trained the puppies with laughter, while Granny Gu sat under the eaves in a chair, her eyes crinkling with mirth. At the entrance to the pharmacy, Gu Jian sorted through medicinal herbs while occasionally casting his gaze towards the two children, his eyes unusually tender.

At night, because Granny Gu wasn’t feeling well, she went to bed after dinner. Gu Jian also had a habit of retiring early. However, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang were not ready to sleep so soon, so the two of them played chess in the main hall.

“Your skill in chess has improved a great deal.”

“Please, I’ve been reading books and seeking out others to play against. Even a pig would have improved.”

Xiao Yeyang smiled, gazing at the earnest Daohua deliberating over where to place the next piece in the candlelit room, his eyes filled with warmth, “Yes, yes, my Yiyi is indeed the smartest.”

After deciding where to play her piece, Daohua lifted her chin triumphantly, “Naturally.” She failed to notice Xiao Yeyang’s term of endearment. “Hurry up, it’s your move.”

Xiao Yeyang glanced over the chessboard and effortlessly found his next move.

Seeing that Xiao Yeyang had so easily cut off her avenues, Daohua frowned, but soon smiled again, having found a point of breakthrough.

“It won’t be easy to surround me.”

Xiao Yeyang smiled and stayed silent, placing another piece that blocked Daohua’s path while still allowing her room to maneuver.

As Daohua was once again contemplating the chessboard, deciding where to play, Xiao Yeyang reached for a strawberry and held it to her mouth.
