Chapter 382 – We’re Going To Have A Dog (Teaser)
The one who told Xixi that there was a dog about to have puppies in their house was Da Po. Their dog, DaHuang, had been pregnant for two months. Moreover, it had been restless these past few days, burrowing everywhere, or circling its nest. It looked like she was about to give birth, probably within the next few days.
However, to Xixi’s disappointment, when she and her grandfather went to Da Po’s house to see DaHuang the next day, DaHuang had not yet given birth. Li Shupo1TN: I assume that this is Da Po’s real name and Da Po is just his nickname had misled them!
The actual time DaHuang gave birth was on the first day of the Lunar New Year. However, because it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Yi and Yang Chonggui did not tell Xixi. It was not appropriate to run to someone else’s house who was not a relative and disturb them today.
Although Xixi had been talking about the puppy as soon as she woke up, the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year diluted her longing.
The crackling sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the village. In WuDaoKou Village, setting off firecrackers upon opening the door was a tradition to welcome the Door Gods. The Yang family also set off firecrackers, and this year (Lunar Year), Yang Yi was responsible for lighting the first one.
Xixi was actually a bit scared of firecrackers. A few days ago, when she saw the firecrackers exploding, she would tremble for a moment. But the more scared she was, the more she wanted to watch. She was nestled in her mother’s arms early in the morning, nervous while staring intently. Mo Fei’s hand was pulled up by her, covering her ears.
Seeing her father walking towards the long string of firecrackers with incense in his hand, the little girl became anxious. She couldn’t help but shout, “Papa, be careful!”
Before Yang Yi had lit the firecrackers, she shouted anxiously again, “Papa, run quickly, it’s going to explode!”
Her little face was tense with nervousness.
