Chapter 9 Just Be Happy
On the way back from the children's playground, Luo Kai was carrying a big bag containing more than 20 dolls, while Niu Niu held the largest cartoon rabbit tightly and refused to let go.
Interestingly, when taking the subway, some people thought that Luo Kai, who was carrying a big bag, was selling dolls, so they asked him about the price, but Luo Kai politely declined.
These dolls are now Niu Niu's heart-to-heart treasures, and they are unwilling to sell one.
When I returned to the textile factory employee community, it was not dark yet. Luo Kai took Niu Niu home to put these dolls and dolls out, and then went out to solve the problem of supper.
It has been a long time since I started a house. Although there is natural gas in the kitchen stove, Luo Kai used to only cook instant noodles at most. The refrigerator was empty and there was no food.
Luo Kai still chose the restaurant last night because it was hygienic and had a variety of dishes, and the prices were quite affordable.
After asking Niu Niu for advice, Luo Kai ordered a dish of potato beef, a plate of small vegetables, a portion of scallion shrimp and a bowl of tomato and egg soup.
Of course, rice that fills your stomach is essential.
Niu Niu eats very well.
Her favorite is potatoes. The potatoes cut into small pieces are cooked with beef and sauce for a long time. They fully absorb the mellow and salty gravy. They taste soft and fragrant, which is very suitable for serving rice.
The second is the tender beef, which she also ate several pieces.
While picking up food for Niu Niu, Luo Kai wiped off the soup left on the corner of her mouth with a napkin. He casually ate two bowls of rice and drank it up to fill it up.
"Oh!"
Niu Niu suddenly screamed in a low voice.
Luo Kai was nervous and asked quickly: "Niu Niu, what's wrong?"
Niu Niu did not answer, lowered her head and looked under the dining table.
Luo Kai couldn't help but bow his head.
I'm down!
He immediately understood that it was the puppy he fed a piece of ribs yesterday and was driven away by the waiter. At some point, he sneaked in again, squatted down and put on his pitiful look of begging for food.
Niu Niu's feet accidentally touched just now, so she screamed.
Seeing that it was a puppy, she was surprised and happy. She looked up at Luo Kai: "Dad..."
"Shh..."
Luo Kai made a gesture of silence, then grabbed a piece of beef and threw it away.
The puppy grabbed it with one bite and started eating it voraciously, as if it was a starving ghost.
Luo Kai smiled and signaled Niu Niu to continue eating.
Niu Niu obediently ate the tomato and egg soup in the rice bowl and ate the rice clean, but during the process of eating, she secretly glanced under the table from time to time.
Unfortunately, the puppy who had eaten the beef ignored her and only shook her tail desperately at Luo Kai.
Regarding this, Niu Niu pouted in dissatisfaction.
Luo Kai reached out and touched her head, and smiled and said, "Let's go, dad will take you to buy new clothes."
The clothes that Niu Niu is wearing are small and very old. Luo Kai wanted to buy them last night, but considering that the size she bought may not be correct, I thought about taking her to the store today to try and sell them.
At least you have to buy three sets!
After paying the bill at the restaurant service desk, Luo Kai took Niu Niu's little hand and walked towards the nearby clothing street.
There are many small restaurants and shops here. A long time ago, the so-called catering street, clothing street, Internet cafe street, etc. were formed. The main customers were Beijing drifters like Luo Kai and migrant workers.
Luo Kai cannot afford to buy branded children's clothing for Niu Niu for the time being. The clothing street over there is naturally the best choice. I guess three sets of clothes and skirts, plus shoes and socks, will cost up to three or four hundred yuan.
"dad!"
Luo Kai was thinking, when Niu Niu suddenly stopped and pulled his hand tightly.
"Um?"
Luo Kai was stunned: "What's wrong?"
Niu Niu pointed to his other hand: "Puppy."
Luo Kai almost fell into a coma when he turned around!
The puppy who had previously hid under the table begging for food in the restaurant actually followed him secretly, but was discovered by Niu Niu.
"Wang!"
After its whereabouts were exposed, it not only did not feel any shame, but instead jumped half a foot high with joy, approached Luo Kai's heels, and shook its short tail desperately at Luo Kai.
This shameless and shameless product!
Luo Kai was about to kick it away, Niu Niu shook his hand and asked timidly: "Dad, can we take it home to raise it?"
Raising a puppy at home?
Luo Kai subconsciously prepared to refuse.
Because raising a dog is not only a troublesome, but also a very expensive thing.
Like this dirty puppy, either abandoned or born to a wild dog, you have to go to a pet shop to take a bath to remove fleas when you take it home. In addition, you can get an epidemic prevention injection, and you can't handle it without a few hundred yuan.
Luo Kai would not be at ease if he didn't do these things. What if Niu Niu was bitten by a dog or infected with fleas?
The most important thing is that these expenses are just the beginning. Now he needs to work hard to raise Niu Niu, and raising a dog is not a wise choice.
But when the words came to his mouth, Luo Kai noticed the desire in Niu Niu's eyes, and his heart suddenly became soft.
After thinking about it, Luo Kai said softly: "Niu Niu, dad doesn't have much money. We can't afford to raise puppies for the time being. How about buying one for you after a while?"
Raising a dog also has the benefits of raising a dog. Niu Niu likes puppies so much, so when he is not at home, having a puppy with him will undoubtedly make her life no longer lonely and keep her laughing all the time.
But not now.
Hearing Luo Kai's answer, the desire in Niu Niu's eyes turned into disappointment. She lowered her head and looked at the puppy that was still wagging her tail, and said, "Then... can you not buy clothes for Niu Niu first?"
ah?
Luo Kai was speechless.
His silence made Niu Niu uneasy, and he pursed his lips and whispered: "Then, forget it."
She is very well-behaved and listens to her father.
Luo Kai shook his head, leaned over and grabbed the puppy's neck and lifted it up.
The puppy struggled a few times in a hurry, and then it had no use. It drooped its ears and spit out its small tongue, looking depressed as if it was completely defeated.
Luo Kai said: "Since Niu Niu likes it, let's take it home, but it needs to take a shower and get an injection. Will dad buy you new clothes tomorrow?"
Disappointment turned into surprise in an instant. The light emitted by Niu Niu's eyes in an instant was even brighter than the stars in the sky, and two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks.
She nodded very hard, as if she was afraid that Luo Kai would go back on his word.
Luo Kai smiled and said, "Go!"
As long as Niu Niu is happy, what is raising a puppy? He has made a vow!
There is a pet store nearby. Luo Kai used his mobile phone to open the map and quickly found the place.
Nowadays, there are more wealthy people, and there are many people with money and time. Raising pets has become a trend, so pet shops and pet clinics are everywhere. Several pet shops have been opened on the street that Luo Kai found.
He chose a pet store that looked quite regular and walked in, and asked for the price first.
The owner was a young couple. The male boss looked at the puppy in Luo Kai's hand and said in surprise: "This is a local dog, it is worthless, and it is raised as an unlovely one."
The scientific name of local dogs is Chinese pastoral dogs, and their ethnic groups are spread all over the country, especially in rural areas.
People in the city rarely raise dogs because local dogs are too ordinary, and as the store owner said, although they look very cute now, the cuteness index will have to fall straight after a few months.
The small Chinese pastoral dog and the large Chinese pastoral dog are completely two different creatures!
The pet shop owner was actually considering Luo Kai, worried that he would be confused for the moment and spend money and hard work to raise a native dog, and would regret it in the future.
Niu Niu held Luo Kai's hand tightly, and her palms were sweating and wet.
Luo Kai said: "It doesn't matter, you can offer the offer."
The pet shop owner scratched his head and said, "Let's do this, you have a 85% discount on the whole set. How about 380 yuan?"
Taking a bath, flea removal, deworming, and getting rabies vaccinated, 380 yuan is not expensive, mainly because Luo Kai sent a native dog, and he couldn't even open his mouth if he wanted a lion to open his mouth.
Put it in the farmers' market, you can buy at least 10 local puppies in 380 oceans, and you can choose whatever you want!
Luo Kai actually understands it, but who makes Niu Niu like it?
"Give you four hundred, add a bag of dog food to me!"

Today I went to the beach to play and took my daughter to fish in a fishing boat with someone else. As a result, I and her both vomited a lot.
But the harvest was quite good. I actually picked up a wild yellow croaker, weighing 7 taels and 8 cents. There were other shrimps, moray eels, and shrimps in three boxes, and I got the capital back. I ate these fished seafood for dinner.
