Su Xiaoxiao hurried to explain.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. This bun is for you!"

She threw the bun in front of Xiaogouzi and took a few steps back.

The puppy smelled the fragrance of the bun, picked it up in one bite, and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls.

It hasn't eaten much for more than half a month.

If it can't find food, it drinks water to fill its stomach.

Today it was so hungry that it couldn't bear it any longer. When it saw the little beggar hiding half a piece of cake and was reluctant to eat it, it couldn't help but steal it.

If it had a choice, it would not steal food.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao took another bun and gave it to Xiaogouzi.

The puppy ate it again without hesitation.

But this time, when eating buns, Xiaogouzi shed tears.

This is the first time in its life that it has felt the kindness of humans.

It has shown goodwill to humans before.

It obediently stood guard at the door of someone else's house, hoping that someone would take pity on it and give it some food. But what it got in the end was either people throwing stones at it or chasing it away with sticks.

It was terrified and never dared to get close to humans again.

Today it realized that there are good people among humans.

Su Xiaoxiao felt even more distressed when she saw Xiaogouzi crying.

She squatted down, comforting the puppy while slowly approaching him.

"I know you're scared. Don't worry, I won't hurt you. You're injured, and I want to take you to see a doctor. Will you come with me?"

Xiaogouzi still bared his teeth and growled at Su Xiaoxiao.

"Come home with me and you'll be my family from now on. I'll protect you and make sure you have enough food to eat. How about that?"

The puppy understood the word "go home".

It groaned a few times in grievance, and tears flowed from its big eyes again.

That pitiful little appearance deeply hurt Su Xiaoxiao's heart.

"Don't cry, don't cry. I'll take you to see a doctor now."

She slowly walked to the puppy, and seeing that the puppy was no longer on guard against her, she touched the puppy's head and gently picked it up.

The half-grown puppy was so light that she couldn't feel its weight.

"I know you're not full right now, but I can't give you any more buns. If you eat too much at once, your stomach won't be able to handle it. I'll give you something to eat in the afternoon when we get home!"

The little dog put its head on Su Xiaoxiao's arm and hummed weakly, as if responding to Su Xiaoxiao's arrangement.

Su Xiaoxiao put the puppy on a cart, took it to the clinic to see a doctor to treat its wounds, and then took the puppy home.

Su Chengen was extremely excited to see the puppy.

Without waiting for Su Xiaoxiao's instructions, he took the initiative to take responsibility for taking care of the puppy.

"Sister, the puppy is so pitiful, can I take care of it?"

"Of course!"

Su Xiaoxiao found a suitable place in the shed where they slept, first laid a layer of hay, and then spread a torn quilt on the hay to build a temporary nest for the puppy.

Su Chengen found two empty bowls, one for water and one for rice, and placed them next to the doghouse.

Because he didn't know what the puppy could eat, he filled the bowl with water first.

Su Xiaoxiao carried the puppy to the nest. The puppy was still curled up and trembling, looking around anxiously.

Su Cheng'en's eyes were filled with heartache, and he tentatively reached out to touch the dog's head.

"Don't be afraid, dog. This will be your home from now on. I'll protect you!"

The puppy responded with a hum, not rejecting Su Chengen's touch.

"Are you thirsty? Drink some water!"

Su Chengen moved the bowl of water forward.

Xiaogouzi looked at Su Chengen, then at Su Xiaoxiao, and was no longer afraid. He started drinking directly.

Soon, half a bowl of water was finished.

Zhao Wanzhu was cooking while keeping an eye on this side and couldn't help but sigh.

This little dog is also a pitiful one!

Seeing that the puppy was dirty, Su Chengen suggested, "Sister, can you give it a bath?"

"Let's give it a bath after its wound heals in two days!"

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. Does the puppy have a name?"

"Not yet, why don't you Cheng'en give it a name!"

Su Chengen's dark eyes were full of little stars.

It was the first time he named a dog.

He rubbed his chin and thought about it.

"It's all yellow, can we call it rhubarb?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, "Okay, let's call him Da Huang!"

Su Chengen smiled so hard that his eyes curved. He stroked Dahuang's head and chatted with him.

"You have a name now. Your name is Da Huang!"

Dahuang felt Su Chengen's kindness and rubbed his little head against Su Chengen's palm in a very pleasing way, as if he liked the name very much.

After lunch and a short rest, Village Chief Cao and several people who were repairing the house arrived one after another.

They started repairing the wall this afternoon and it will be finished in about two or three days.

Su Xiaoxiao was very happy and looking forward to it.

Once the two-meter-high wall is built, she no longer has to worry about anyone peeping at how to make hot dry noodles.

They can do whatever they want in the yard.

In a special private room of Fenglai Restaurant.

Xiao Ran lay on his side on the Arhat bed, one arm bent to support his head, looking ahead boredly, the other hand holding a wine jug, taking a sip from the spout from time to time.

Donglai knelt in front of the Arhat bed and massaged Xiao Ran's legs.

"Master, drinking too much alcohol is harmful to your health."

"I know your young master well. Don't worry, he's not drunk."

As he was speaking, the door was pushed open with a creak.

Two men in brocade robes walked in.

The man in blue clothes spoke first with a nervous look on his face.

"Mr. Xiao, what have you been doing these past few days? You wouldn't come out even when we looked for you! We were all worried sick!"

His name was Tang Ze, and he was the illegitimate son of the wealthy Tang family in Changming County. Because there were many children in his family, he was not liked and was often beaten and scolded by his old father. He was traumatized by the beatings and was very timid and introverted.

Another man in light pink clothes moved a chair and sat next to Xiao Ran, asking curiously.

"Did you have another fight with your dad?"

He is Yang Qi, born into a merchant family. He is the eldest son of the family, intelligent, and has been placed with high hopes by his family since childhood. He has an extroverted personality.

Xiao Ran glared at Yang Qi.

"Dogs bark!"

"Haha, I was right!"

Yang Qi patted Tang Ze and said, "I told you, the only one who can stop this kid from going out is his father!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked to the table, picked up a small bunch of grapes, picked one and put it in his mouth.

This private room belongs to Xiao Ran. Manager Guan of Fenglai Restaurant prepares various foods, fruits, desserts and drinks in the room every day for the three young masters to enjoy.

"I heard there's a new southern snack on the market called hot dry noodles. It's delicious. Do you want to try it?"

Xiao Ran responded casually.

"Southern snacks? Not very common!"

"I've asked around. It's made by a little girl from the countryside. She pushes a cart to the market every day to sell it. Before noon, it's all sold out."

Xiao Ran sat up suddenly.

A country girl?

Cart?

Doesn't she look so much like the crazy woman who falsely accused him of being a thief and made him look bad that day?

He threw the wine jug to Donglai and strode out of the private room.

The remaining few people were completely confused and followed him out.
