Chapter 179 Buying a Bell
Tong Yao: If she knew the thoughts of these three dogs, she would definitely correct their thoughts.
The first thing Tong Yao did when she got to the street was to buy three big soup bowls. There will be three more puppies in the house in the future, so she has to prepare rice bowls. She will buy a few kilograms of big bones later. She eats meat and drinks soup.
, the three puppies gnawed the bones and wasted nothing.
Si Xiaohui followed Tong Yao out of the store carrying the soup bowl, and couldn't help but ask: "Sister-in-law, you didn't buy these three soup bowls for the three wild dogs, right?"
Tong Yao led Si Xiaohui towards the vegetable market and said, "It's just for them. They won't be wild dogs anymore. Don't keep barking like wild dogs. From now on, the black one will be called Xiaohei, and the yellow one will be called Xiaohei."
It’s called Rhubarb, and the black and white one is called Xiaohua.”
Si Xiaohui curled her lips and said in a weird voice: "Our mother doesn't even use such a good bowl. A few wild dogs turned into golden pimples when they came to your place, and you gave them names." Those who didn't know thought they were those three dogs.
Wild Dog is your son, and your parents have never seen you being so filial.
Si Xiaohui didn't dare to say the last sentence. My sister-in-law was really kind to the three wild dogs. Wouldn't it be nice to buy two more kilograms of meat with this money?
"Why do you keep comparing our mother to a dog?" Tong Yao rolled her eyes and retorted in a neutral tone: "Achen gives our mother money every month, but she doesn't want to eat or drink. I
Do you still want to follow the fast and recite Buddha's name? I see that when you usually eat meat and drink soup, you have a good appetite, and you don't think about our mother?"
A few short words made Si Xiaohui speechless. He couldn't hold back a word for a long time. After a while, he muttered in a low voice: "I just said it casually, why are you so serious about it?"
Tong Yao, "Next time, think through your words before speaking. I have a bad temper. I have to retort when I hear something I don't like, otherwise I will easily hold my breath."
She paid Si Xiaohui to do work, not to find someone to control her and educate her. Because Si Xiaohui was Si Chen's sister, Tong Yao was so generous and didn't care about Si Xiaohui, but this didn't mean
It means she has no temper.
Si Xiaohui: "..."
Tong Yao provides food and accommodation here, and Tong Yao pays the salary. To put it bluntly, Tong Yao is the sister-in-law and the boss. The consequence of angering Tong Yao is to be sent home.
Therefore, Si Xiaohui usually acts based on his face and does not dare to really anger Tong Yao.
At this moment, he wisely closed his mouth.
I have finally lived a comfortable life in the city, but I can't let myself go back to the mountains.
Seeing that Si Xiaohui was being honest, Tong Yao couldn't help but secretly laugh. Si Xiaohui was like this. The more she was spoiled, the easier it was for her to spoil her. She thought that everyone had to pamper her like her two brothers. She really resented her.
Nothing happened.
It was almost noon, and it was as hot as a stove outside. Tong Yao walked along the big tree on the roadside and passed by a hardware store outside the vegetable market. She had an idea and walked in. Si Xiaohui didn't dare to talk anymore this time, so she could only be honest.
Really follow up.
After entering the store, Tong Yao asked directly to the store owner: "Boss, are there any dumbbells?"
"Dumbbells?" The store owner thought he heard it wrong and couldn't help but repeat it. There are bells that don't ring, but they are defective goods that no one wants.
"Yes, it's just dumbbells. I want three."
After confirming that he heard correctly, the shop owner pulled out three dirty dumbbells from the drawer for a long time. He wiped the dust on them with a rag and then handed them to Tong Yao.
"If you want to buy it, just give me 10 cents, and I'll give you all three, but you must agree first that you won't be able to return or exchange this after you buy it."
This kind of bells usually cost 30 cents each, but unfortunately these are broken and will be thrown away as scrap copper if not sold.
"Okay, thank you, boss." Tong Yao took the bell, put it in her pocket like a treasure, and then gave the boss another dime, "Boss, here's the money for you."
The boss happily took the money and said, "Okay, let's see if you want to buy anything else."
It's really weird today. Some people are buying dumbbells that are almost moldy. Although the sales price is not as high as the purchase price, there is no point in keeping it if you don't sell it.
“I’ll buy it next time I need it.”
Tong Yao turned around and left the store. Si Xiaohui, who was following behind, couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked again.
"Sister-in-law, you bought these three bells for dogs to wear, right? Why did you buy a dumb one? Who brings dumbbells for dogs?"
Tong Yao didn't want to explain too much, so she just found an excuse and said perfunctorily: "It's cheap to be dumb."
In fact, Tong Yao considered the safety of the three dogs. Everyone knew that they were stray dogs and would always dislike bullying them. When they wear the bell, others will know that they are dogs with owners. As long as the three dogs do not take the initiative to cause trouble,
Basically no one will bully them at will.
Dogs have sensitive hearing, and the sound of bells will be amplified countless times. Listening to them for a long time is not good for their ears, so they bought dumbbells.
Si Xiaohui: It is indeed quite cheap, but why does she always feel something is wrong?
When did my sister-in-law feel sorry for so many cents?
Tong Yao ignored Si Xiaohui's strange eyes, walked straight into the vegetable market, and bought some big bones and vegetables.
When Si Boyi returned to the rental house to cook lunch, three stray dogs also came back. Tong Yao happened to be washing vegetables by the well and waved to the three puppies.
"Come here, I'll give you a bath."
Hearing this, Xiao Hei took the lead and ran over with small steps and wagging his tail.
Si Boyi and Si Xiaohui were shocked when they saw this scene, especially Si Xiaohui. She didn't expect these stray dogs to come over as if they understood human speech.
"Sister-in-law, this dog is so smart! It seems that it can understand human speech."
Tong Yao, who was pouring water on Xiao Hei, said casually without raising her head: "Dogs are very intelligent and loyal. Don't bully them in the future."
"..."
Si Xiaohui curled her lips. Her sister-in-law treated a few wild dogs better than her. Si Xiaohui, who was a little bit hungry, bent down and picked up the vegetable basin and entered the kitchen. When she saw Si Boyi following him, she hummed in a low voice.
"Second brother, look at my sister-in-law, she treats a few wild dogs better than our eldest brother. She hasn't even given him a bath."
When Si Boyi heard this, his face couldn't help but turn red, and he educated him in a low voice: "Don't compare our mother to our brother and a dog. Why do you always compare them to dogs?"
Originally, Si Boyi was a little worried that these stray dogs were inhumane and did not know how to protect their owners. Now that he saw how obedient they were, he was completely relieved.
Dogs that understand human nature are the most loyal. He remembers that when he was a child, the dog raised by the village leader, Grandpa Zhao, refused to eat or drink after Grandpa Zhao died. In the end, it starved to death on Grandpa Zhao’s grave. Grandpa Zhao’s son felt that this dog had human nature. Later,
The dog was buried next to Grandpa Zhao's grave.
Seeing that Si Boyi was always looking towards Tong Yao, Si Xiaohui simply shut up and remained silent.
