Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

121. Dog ownership (2)

An Ran: "Was it specially trained?"

"of course!"

Why did you retire?

"When you get old, or get injured, you just retire!"

"Heizi is now over six years old. He started serving when he was two years old. Normally, military dogs don't retire until they are eight to ten years old, but Heizi was injured and a bullet was removed from his stomach. He survived by sheer luck."

An Xin indeed felt a scar on Hei Zi's stomach.

Does it still hurt?

"He has recovered, but he was seriously injured and cannot continue to carry out missions."

Anran said with admiration, "Then it must be a brave warrior."

"Yes, it is a brave warrior who has made countless contributions. We should treat it well and let it spend its old age in our home."

Su Jinru: "It can go to the toilet by itself. It has a very high IQ, equivalent to that of a six or seven-year-old child."

An Ran smiled and pointed at An Xin.

"Did you hear that? Kuroko's IQ is the same as yours."

An Xin was not angry because her brother compared her to a black mole.

"I'm not as good as Kuroko; it's a battle-hardened hero."

An Ran also felt that her words were a bit excessive.

"It's still not as good as you in other ways. You can sing and dance, you can do math problems, and you can write essays..."

An Xin finally couldn't help but say, "Do you really have to compare me to him?"

An Ran: "I...I didn't mean it that way."

"what does that mean?"

"This...this means...no one can compare to you, my dear sister."

Su Jinru chuckled inwardly, but she never interfered with how the two children got along.

They have their own way of getting along, and they resolve any conflicts or problems on their own.

If adults intervene, no matter who they criticize, it's wrong and will make the child feel that they are being treated differently.

Su Jinru treats both children equally. True equal treatment means that she simply loves them, lets them feel loved, and allows love to flow naturally. The siblings will also learn this kind of love without discrimination, and love will naturally flow between them.

Since Hei Zi came into the family, the two children have had plenty to do. Besides doing their homework and growing vegetables, they play with Hei Zi.

Although Hei Zi is very big, he is as docile as a lamb in front of An Ran and An Xin.

The two of them would often take Heizi out for a stroll after dinner.

That was the happiest moment for Heizi, because after being cooped up at home all day, Heizi's nature was to run and move around, and only the vast outside world could unleash its true nature.

People on the street were so frightened by Hei Zi's fierce appearance that they all kept their distance.

Heizi was said to have been a military dog, which made many people even more respectful.

After Anran returned home, she said to Su Jinru, "Mom, this black dog has really made us proud. Many of our friends envy us for having such a dog. It's so majestic and handsome."

An Xin: "Yeah! Those thieves who stole our vegetables won't dare to pick the lock this time!"

An Ran: "If he weren't stupid, he wouldn't dare to do something like that again."

Seeing how much the two children liked Hei Zi, Su Jinru felt very gratified.

This black cat is not only a good guard dog, but also the best friend of the two children.

It also gave Su Jinru and her two children a great sense of security.

When the two children were attending primary school in Daben Village, they were openly and subtly mocked by their classmates for having such a father.

Su Jinru brought her two children to school in the county town. Although the children there did not know that their father had such a scandal, the two children still had a deficiency compared to most children.

Children who are absent from the father's role often feel a sense of insecurity, especially a lack of security. Now, with Heizi's companionship, this insecurity can be somewhat compensated for.

Because of Hei Zi, the neighbors are much more polite to them.

They said they used to lose things frequently, but now that doesn't happen anymore.

That evening after dinner, An Ran took out thirty-eight yuan and handed it to Su Jinru.

"Mom, this money is what my sister and I earned from selling vegetables over the past few months. Take it and buy some meat for Heizi."

An Xin added, "Yes, my brother and I can eat less meat, but Hei Zi can't go without meat."

"Don't worry! Mom has money to buy meat for Hei Zi. You can keep the money you earned yourself."

Anran: "Mom, many of my classmates want to keep dogs like we do, but my family won't let us. They say we can't even feed ourselves, let alone raise a dog."

"Li Jianming in our class got a beating from his dad because he wanted to keep a dog!"

An Xin: "Yes! Many classmates not only envy us for having such a smart and cute dog, Hei Zi, but also for having a good mother who found us such a good dog. Mom, Hei Zi eats a lot, more than my brother and I, but we are willing to eat less ourselves so that Hei Zi can have enough to eat."

Su Jinru smiled and patted her daughter's head.

"It's okay, Mom can raise you and Hei Zi. You must eat well and grow up well, so you can't skip meals. Hei Zi is a warrior with many achievements, and now that he's a member of our family, I will definitely not mistreat him."

Hearing their mother say this, the two children felt reassured and put their money away.

After they finished eating and tended to the vegetables, they took Hei Zi out for a stroll.

As soon as Hei Zi stepped out the door, he ran off happily and quickly got far ahead of the two children.

An Xin called out, "Hei Zi, wait for me and my brother."

Hei Zi ran back and circled around An Ran and An Xin.

The two children ran ahead, and it followed, but when it got too far away, it turned back.

The two children giggled, both excited and nervous.

They were worried that Heizi would get lost, and they were also worried that Heizi would hurt others. In reality, no matter how far Heizi ran, if he couldn't see them anymore, he would come back to find them.

Haters don't hurt others indiscriminately.

Hei Zi has been at Su Jinru's house for almost a month and has never hurt anyone.

However, whenever someone peeks in at the door, Hei Zi will pounce on them and scare them away.

Its purpose is only to scare people away; it won't bite.

What's particularly amazing is that when Su Jinru's parents, brother, and her second sister's family came, it would wag its tail and welcome them. It seemed to know they were relatives of the family's owners.

If anyone else gets close to Su Jinru's door, he will pounce on them fiercely, scaring them away from coming in.

With Hei Zi by her side, Su Jinru felt comfortable letting her two children go out to play, no matter where they went or how long they played.
