Lin Zhilan and Su Lang never refuse their children's sharing.

Others followed suit and took over as well.

Linlin counted the candied hawthorns in the bowl, "One, two, three, I still have three left!"

Everyone laughed.

Jiang Chengzhou gave her two more, "Now you have five."

Linlin blinked her long eyelashes and counted her brother's candied hawthorns. "Five! I have the same as my brother!"

The little girl is too easily satisfied.

She's happy no matter what, and it's easy for her to infect those around her with joy.

Xu Yueyun and Su Bingcheng were deeply in love.

Cheng Qingshan also likes this little darling.

Lin Zhilan and Su Lang, along with the child, visited again. As soon as Sister Li opened the door, they heard Cheng Qingshan shout to someone, "Quickly take the dog to the backyard! Don't scare the child!"

dog?

Chief Cheng keeps a dog?

Just then, Lin Zhilan heard a very faint running sound.

Looking down, I saw a ball of fur that had appeared out of nowhere right at my feet.

It was looking up at itself, with a little tail wagging rapidly behind it.

The puppy was about the size of a basketball, and it looked like a little puppy that was just over a month old.

With its yellow fur, round body, dark round eyes, and droopy ears, how could it be scary?

"..."

"It's a dog!"

Linlin exclaimed in surprise, feeling a mix of fear and joy.

The little hands were itching to move.

Tu Jing followed, initially a little nervous, but upon seeing this scene, he couldn't help but laugh and ask, "Linlin, aren't you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, Uncle Tu, can I touch it?"

Tu Jing was surprised that she still remembered him, and a smile appeared on his lips. "You can touch me, but be gentle."

Before Linlin could even reach out, the puppy placed its two front paws directly on Linlin's feet.

It seemed very interested in the child in front of it, and its tail wagged even more enthusiastically.

Cheng Qingshan walked over from behind. Hearing the noise, the puppy immediately abandoned the group of new humans and ran around Cheng Qingshan's feet.

"Grandpa Cheng, I've come to wish you a Happy New Year! May you prosper and have a prosperous year!"

"Okay, okay," Cheng Qingshan said with a smile, taking out a red envelope he had prepared earlier from his pocket. "This is your New Year's money from Grandpa. I wish you good health and a healthy growth."

Linlin turned to look at her mother, and seeing Lin Zhilan nod, she accepted the red envelope. "Thank you, Grandpa Cheng."

"You're welcome." Cheng Qingshan waved to Jiang Chengzhou again, "Little Chengzhou, aren't you going to come and wish me a Happy New Year?"

Jiang Chengzhou smiled and stepped forward to offer his New Year's greetings, and also accepted his red envelope.

"Sir, we've bothered you again."

Cheng Qingshan snorted coldly, "You're not even as sensible as a child. Even children know to call someone 'Grandpa,' and you're calling them 'Commander'?"

"Uncle Cheng!" Lin Zhilan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly corrected herself.

Cheng Qingshan then smiled, "Come in quickly, it's cold outside."

The Cheng family doesn't have many guests. Apart from Tu Jing, the people who usually come to visit are all work-related.

Cheng Qingshan is very busy and doesn't talk much at home except when he's working.

Sister Li cooks him three meals a day and does some cleaning.

This was the first time Sister Li had ever seen him be so enthusiastic towards someone.

Instantly, I elevated Lin Zhilan's family to a higher level in my mind.

This person is either an important guest or someone that Chief Cheng truly values.

As soon as Xiaolinlin entered the house, she couldn't resist squatting down to tease the puppy.

She didn't dare let the puppy touch her, so she reached out her hand and then pulled it back.

The little puppy loves to play. As soon as it sees someone teasing it, it immediately waddles over with its short legs.

He tilted his head and glanced at Linlin, then hugged her shoe and took a bite.

However, with his tiny baby teeth, he couldn't chew anything; he could only spit out some saliva.

"Ouch, you can't eat this!" Linlin scolded it in her childish voice.

The puppy seemed to understand, and sat with its head tilted back, staring blankly at her.

Su Lang squatted down, hugged her daughter from behind, and guided her to scratch the puppy's chin a few times.

The puppy immediately squinted its eyes in delight and lay down on the ground whimpering.

"Uncle Cheng, why did you decide to buy a dog?" Lin Zhilan asked Su Lang to look after the children and accompanied Cheng Qingshan to the living room for tea.

Cheng Qingshan glanced at Tu Jing. "It's all because of this kid. He said I'm too idle and need a dog for company. How could I possibly have time for one?"

Cheng Qingshan was just urging him to get married and have children, saying that his family would be more lively if he had children.

Tu Jing then gave him a dog.

It's said that owning a dog can also be lively.

Tu Jing laughed and said, "Raising a dog isn't difficult. Just have Sister Li feed it regularly. You can take it with you when you do your morning exercise; it can keep you company."

"Look at him..." Cheng Qingshan pointed at Tu Jing with annoyance and said to Lin Zhilan, "He just doesn't want me to have an easy time."

Lin Zhilan could tell that the two got along almost like father and son.

So she just smiled and didn't say anything.

This is indeed a good idea.

Puppies can greatly alleviate loneliness in the elderly, and they are loyal and capable to their owners.

Cheng Qingshan lives alone, so having a dog is a good thing.

Lin Zhilan silently cheered for Tu Jing in her heart.

Then they took out all the prepared mutton sauce, beef and mushroom sauce, dried vegetables, etc.

The coffee table was filled with things.

"You can eat these sauces with rice on their own, or ask Sister Li to add them to her dishes when she cooks; they're delicious that way too. These two jars of mutton sauce might have a bit of a gamey smell when they're cold, so remember to heat them up before you eat them..."

Lin Zhilan felt uneasy ever since she learned yesterday that Cheng Qingshan's children had all sacrificed their lives.

This time when I came over, I went on and on with my instructions.

Cheng Qingshan frowned as he looked at the table full of food. "I have everything I need. Why did you bring so much? And this mutton is the kind I was going to give to your parents-in-law. You cooked it and brought it to me again. It makes me feel like I have no manners."

"I still have them at home. These are for you. I brought them from the island. I'm not giving you gifts from the Su family," Lin Zhilan said irritably.

Hearing his unfriendly tone, Cheng Qingshan immediately softened, "There's no need for so much."

"What's too much?" The old man wouldn't listen, so Lin Zhilan raised her voice. "It's cold now, so you can leave it outside to freeze. It won't spoil. Once it thaws, you'll definitely be able to finish it."

Normally, no one would dare to speak to Cheng Qingshan like that.

Even Tu Jing didn't dare.

But Cheng Qingshan wasn't angry at all. Instead, he gently coaxed, "Don't be angry, I'll take it, okay?"

Tu Jing glanced over unintentionally.

This truly shows that everything has its counter.

The old man has met his match.

Today there's another big table of people.

Sister Li started preparing to cook early in the morning.

Lin Zhilan rolled up her sleeves and said, "Sister Li, let's not make so many dishes today. We're all tired of eating meat during the Lunar New Year. Let's make more dumplings today, both meat and vegetarian."

Sister Li looked at Cheng Qingshan.

Cheng Qingshan waved his hand, "Just listen to Zhilan."
