The mother of the era is reborn to support her cannon fodder children!

Chapter 28 "Amber"

Lin Zhao prepared dinner, but the eldest and second sons had not returned yet.

She was not in a hurry. She let the twins play in the yard and went back to the house and sat in front of the window.

The two good kids could see their mother when they looked up, so they didn't make any noise and just squatted on the ground to play.

Lin Zhao thought that the meat at home was all gone, and only eggs were left. The dog couldn't eat the fine grains at home. If the villagers knew about it, they would poke holes in her spine for the rest of her life. She had to find a way to get some coarse grains.

How to think of a way?
Of course, you have to rely on the lucky draw wheel.

She would never admit it, because she hadn't drawn a lottery for a few days and her hands were itching.

Draw three times.

Just draw three times!

If I get it, I’m lucky. If I don’t, I won’t draw more, Lin Zhao swore in her heart.

The first time I drew, I was lucky and got food.

【Shrimp Crispy Candy × 1 bag (50 pieces)】

【Milk powder × 1 bag】

【Meat sauce × 2 bottles】

【Portable small mirror × 3 pieces】

【Pork ribs x 2 jin】

That's it, 10 points are gone.

Lin Zhao was quite satisfied.

Next is the second draw.

What I got was a summer cooling gift pack.

【Green skin and red flesh large watermelon × 5 pieces】

【Mung beans × 1 jin】

【Green tea × 1 can】

【Lemon x 2】

There's nothing for dogs to eat.

Lin Zhao thought to herself that if she didn’t win after three attempts, she would go to the old house to exchange for coarse grains.

Then, the last pull.

"I must draw coarse grains, I must draw coarse grains." All of Lin Zhao's knowledge that transcended the times came from the original book. She didn't know anything that was not mentioned in the original book, such as dog food.

After she finished muttering, she clicked on the lottery draw.

Good luck.

I won the "Dog Raising Package".

【Deodorant × 1 bottle】

[Dog's internal and external deworming medicine - 1 box]

【Dog food × 100 catties】

Dog food, as the name suggests, is food for dogs. 100 kilograms, can it last the dog for a long time?

Lin Zhao was satisfied after getting what she wanted.

The points become 250, but it's worth it.

Seeing that the twins didn't notice this, she hid all the new things she had drawn in the cabinet. Fortunately, the cabinet was big, otherwise it would have been full.

Lin Zhao walked out of the room, and at that moment, the eldest and second cubs ran back home.

The second child was holding a skinny little yellow dog in his arms, and behind them, the mother dog was secretly following from a distance.

The skinny Dahuang didn't go in, but hid beside the Lin family's gate, cautiously sticking his head out to take a look inside. He wanted his child to have a home, but was also worried that his child would be disliked by others.

Erzai put Xiao Huang down and reached out to touch its neck.

The eldest child said happily, "Mom, we found Xiao Huang. He and Da Huang were eating garbage at the village entrance. He seemed hungry. Is there anything we can feed him at home?"

The puppy was skinny, its fur was dull, dirty and tangled, its eyes were wet and clever, as if it knew that Lin Zhao was the one making the decision, and its tail wagged like a propeller as it circled around her.

Lin Zhao could almost see the fleas on it.

"We need to give it a bath first."

The eldest child immediately asked, "Do you want to boil some water?"

"It's so hot, no need," said Lin Zhao.

The second child was squatting on the ground teasing the dog. Hearing this, he raised his little head and said with a smile, "Mom needs to boil water for us to take a bath."

The kids didn't understand what was going on, so Lin Zhao could only say, "You're my good kids. Hot water makes you feel good. It's okay if I bother you a little."

The two cubs were coaxed into being very happy by their mother, and the smile on their faces could not be wiped away for a long time.

Mom is so good to them!
The eldest and second cubs didn't let their mother do it. They brought Xiao Huang to the water outlet in the yard. The eldest cub scooped water while the second cub rubbed its fur.

The puppy was not afraid at all and let himself be played with. From time to time, he would stick out his tender pink tongue and lick the hands of the eldest and second cubs, making the two children laugh.

While the older brothers were playing, the twins came forward, but before they could catch them, the older one grabbed the two little ones by the shoulders.

"Don't touch it. A dog that hasn't been bathed has bacteria on its body, right, mom?" he asked Lin Zhao who came out of the house.

"Yes. Big boy, take your younger brothers and sisters away from here." Lin Zhao ordered.

The eldest boy put on a serious face and took his younger brothers and sisters to the corner.

The twins, a boy and a girl, like their older brother and no longer make a fuss about playing in the water.

Lin Zhao used deodorant and insect repellent on Xiao Huang.

"Mom, what is this?" Erzai asked in confusion.

"Deodorant and insect repellent," Lin Zhao said.

"Where did it come from?" he asked again. However, before Lin Zhao could explain, Erzai nodded as if he understood. "I know. I must have bought it in the county."

He seemed to have grasped something, his eyes sparkling, and he grinned, "So mom likes dogs too."

Lin Zhao: "..."

Well, no need to make excuses.

"Yes, I have wanted to have a dog for a long time."

Erzai's eyes became brighter.

I am happy because I like the same thing as my mother.

Lin Zhao tied her hair up, put on patched clothes, squatted down, and applied deodorant and insect repellent to Xiao Huang. The fur on its body was stuck together and could not be untied at all.

"The dog's fur is hard to comb out. Erzai, help me get the scissors. I'll cut the clumps of fur first."

The second child ran into the house, found the scissors, and ran out quickly.

Still squatting beside Lin Zhao.

"Mom, be gentle, don't cut Xiao Huang's flesh, it will hurt." The kind child did not forget to remind.

"...I know." Lin Zhao replied.

After cutting off the tangled hair on Xiao Huang's body, the puppy looks a lot fresher.

Erzai blurted out, "How ugly."

Lin Zhao took off her old clothes, put them aside, and washed her hands with facial soap.

Hearing what Erzai said, he squinted his eyes and said, "It's impolite. Dogs also have to save face. Besides, where is it ugly? Don't you think it's cute? It will be even more beautiful when its fur grows out. There is no ugly Chinese native dog."

Erzai's eyes widened, "Yeah."

"What is a Chinese native dog?"

Fall down.

You don't know anything, what are you talking about?

"The Chinese native dog is a type of dog. Xiao Huang and his mother are both Chinese native dogs." Lin Zhao explained patiently.

"Are you hungry? If you're hungry, I'll go make some meatballs."

Erzai's stomach growled a few times, "I'm hungry."

The eldest child also said, "I'm hungry too."

How can I not be hungry? I haven’t eaten anything since I got up.

"Wait, I'll do it."

Lin Zhao turned and went into the kitchen.

Erzai was playing with Xiao Huang when he thought of something. He ran out of the house and went straight to the old house. He found Mother Gu and said, "Grandma, I want to borrow your comb."

Mother Gu glanced at his bald head and thought that Lin Zhao wanted to use it, so she didn't ask any more questions and said, "It's on the cabinet, go get it."

"Hey!" Erzai responded in a crisp voice, ran to his grandparents' room to get a comb, and ran back to his home like a gust of wind.

"Brother, let's comb Xiao Huang's hair?" he invited the eldest cub.

The eldest child: "Okay." The two children combed the fur of the new member of the family.

The twins wanted to participate, but were harshly rejected. The two little ones could only retract their restless paws and watch with their faces in their hands sullenly.

After a while, Lin Zhao's voice came from the kitchen, calling for dinner.

"Big cub, Little cub, the meal is ready. Wash your hands quickly and clean them!"

The two kids washed their hands quickly, washed them twice, and sniffed each other. They were considered qualified only if they could smell the fragrance.

Erzai rushed into the kitchen and smelled the meat. His eyes were filled with smiles. "Mom, it's the smell of meat."

"Yeah, it's because we have a greedy kid at home." Lin Zhao teased him.

Erzai knew that the greedy kid his mother was talking about was him, and the smile on his face widened. "Mom doesn't dislike me."

The eldest son doesn't talk much and helps his mother get food.

Lin Zhao didn't let him move. She said, "There's soup in the bowl. Be careful not to burn yourself. I'll get the rice. You two can wash the dishes later."

"Okay." The eldest boy replied.

It was windy in the yard today, so Lin Zhao set up the table outside early and the family of five ate outside.

The third and fourth cubs also had meat to eat, and the two little kids smiled with their little teeth showing.

In the small wooden bowl, the meatballs were broken into small pieces to ensure they wouldn’t choke.

The second cub took a look and said, "Third and Fourth cubs have some too?"

"It's okay to eat it once in a while." Otherwise the two little ones would start to howl again.

The meatball soup contains round meatballs, mushrooms, and finely chopped green onions. It is delicious and refreshing.

In addition to the meatball soup, there is also a dish of sugar-mixed tomatoes, which is sour and sweet and tastes great in summer.

The eldest and second cubs ate without even raising their heads.

Little Huang circled around the two brothers' feet, wagging his tail quickly and barking from time to time.

"Mom, Xiao Huang has no food." said the eldest son.

"Forget about it." Lin Zhao put down his chopsticks and went into the house. He guessed that he had made some dog food and put it in front of the puppy.

The little yellow dog buried its head in the bowl and started eating with big mouthfuls. It was just a meal, but it devoured it like a hog.

"Mom, Xiao Huang is starving." The eldest boy looked at him with sympathy.

He and Erzai used to be this hungry, but since their mother took care of them, they have never been hungry again and have a full stomach every day.

The little boy looked at Lin Zhao with admiration, and the light in his eyes made people feel soft-hearted.

"Now that it comes to our house, it won't be hungry anymore." Lin Zhao likes furry children very much, especially dogs. They are loyal and capable. Who doesn't like them?

"Mom, can you help Xiao Huang pick a name?" The eldest boy teased the puppy and looked up at his mother pleadingly.

"Me? Why should I take it?" Lin Zhao asked with a smile.

The eldest cub said seriously, "Mom is the oldest in the family. She gave us our names, and she will also give the new member a name."

wrong.

The names of the cubs were not chosen by her, but by their mother Gu.

Looking at her son's bright eyes, Lin Zhao couldn't bear to say anything, and a trace of bitterness rose in her heart.

She didn't get involved in coming up with their nicknames, but she must think carefully about their real names.

"Okay, Mommy will name it." Lin Zhao looked down at the dog, its tail wagging. Its eyes were bright and clear, like beautiful amber. She said, "Call it Amber. The dog's name is Amber."

"Nice!" The eldest boy didn't know how to write these two words or what they meant, but he still gave the compliment out of courtesy.

The second child asked, "Mom, what is amber?"

Lin Zhao didn't know either.

In the original book, someone picked up a stone, which was discovered to be precious amber a long time later. Su Yuxian said a lot of unpleasant things in private.

"Wait until your father comes back and ask him."

Erzai is very open-minded and never makes things difficult for himself. If he doesn't know, then he doesn't know. He didn't delve into it. He picked up the bowl and squatted down to eat side by side with the new member of the family.

Dazai kept this in mind and planned to ask his father about it when he came back.

Lin Zhao thought of the mother dog and asked the two cubs, "You went to look for Little Yellow. Did you see Big Yellow?"

"Mom, the dog's name is not Xiao Huang, it's Amber." Da Zi corrected his mother and then said, "See Da Huang, it was Da Huang who gave Amber to us."

Lin Zhao thought that since there was so much dog food, it would be no problem to raise a big dog, so she asked, "Do you want to raise Da Huang?"

The corners of the two children's eyes raised slightly, as if there were stars twinkling in their eyes.

"Is it okay?" the eldest child asked expectantly.

The second cub also said, "I want to call him Da Huang. I'm afraid Mom will think it's a waste of food to keep two big dogs."

Lin Zhao thought to herself that if there was no mysterious lucky draw wheel, she would definitely not have kept one, but since she had such a treasure given by God, what would be wrong with keeping another dog? Besides, it was Da Huang.

"It does cost food, but Dahuang can watch over the house and protect you. If I keep him, I can go to work without worry."

Dahuang, the stray dog ​​in the village, is the descendant of a hero. He is intelligent, loyal and capable, and it is worth raising him.

The eldest child hugged Lin Zhao, his ears reddening, and said, "Mother is so kind."

Run out of the house quickly and go find rhubarb.

For the first time, Erzai didn't act as his brother's follower. He drank the last mouthful of soup, put down the bowl, and continued to comb the puppy's hair.

When Lin Zhao saw the comb in his hand, she was sure it was not hers.

"Where did you get your comb?"

It looks a bit like his grandmother's.

The second child said, "My milk!"

"..." Lin Zhao pinched her brows, "You're using your grandma's comb to comb the dog's hair!?"

You are such a good grandson of your grandma.

The second child looked puzzled, "My grandma asked me to get it."

"Did you tell your grandma that you wanted to comb the dog's hair?" Lin Zhao asked.

Erzai shook his head and said, "No."

"You tell your grandma yourself." Lin Zhao was troubled. If this was her comb, she would not use it again.

"...Oh." Erzai responded while still combing the dog's hair.

Lin Zhao just felt helpless.

She was a little curious about why Erzai didn't take his own comb, so she asked, "Why don't you take my comb?"

The second child tilted his head, his eyes filled with confusion, "Don't you think mother doesn't like others touching your things?"

As he spoke, his expression changed on the spot, from confusion to excitement in an incredibly smooth manner, "Can I use my mother's things in the future?"

No matter how much you beat around the bush, I won't agree.

"no!"

The second child didn't cling to her and looked calm and indifferent.

Lin Zhao admired him.

This mentality is much better than many adults, he never wastes time on internal conflicts.

Cow.

Three minutes later.

Dazai came back with Dahuang.

The big yellow dog was not in a hurry to go in. He stood at the gate with his head lowered. He was dirty all over, with not a pound of flesh on his body, and his hair was dull and tangled.

When Amber saw it, she barked a few times and ran towards it quickly, her tail spinning like a propeller, jumping and running, looking cute.

"Go home." Dazai urged Dahuang.

Da Huang looked up at Lin Zhao and Erzai, and when he saw them waving at him, he brought his own children in.

"Mom, do we want to give Dahuang a bath to kill the insects?" Erzai asked excitedly.

"Of course." Dahuang needed insecticide and a bath more than his children.

There must be countless insects on its body.

It’s still the same process.

Lin Zhao put on old clothes, applied deodorant and insecticide to Dahuang, and cut off the tangled hair on its body with scissors.

This big dog was really psychic. It seemed to know that all her actions were for its own good and cooperated very well without even panting.

"So good." Lin Zhao liked Da Huang from the bottom of her heart.

After washing, she went back to the house to get dog food.

Dahuang was not in a hurry to eat. He used his front paws to push the bowl towards Amber. Little Amber took a few more bites and barked twice. As if the mother dog knew it was full, she started eating with big mouthfuls.

People suffer in this era, and dogs suffer too. Since it was born, it has never had a full meal.
