In the village, people liked sood

Grandma Jiao said so to Papa Jiao and he told the kids to be careful

Zheng Tan was satisfied with just trying it out He didn't need to play with firecrackers

”Hey, dad, is the dog having stomach issues?”

Papa Jiao pointed at the dog's poop under the grape vines

”Stomach issues?” Grandpa Jiao came over ”It appears so”

The dog was having diarrhea However, the big yellow dog appeared quite lively and was happily waiting for food to fall on the ground

”Don't worry about it He's probably having digestion probles,” Grandpa Jiao said

This was how people in the village raised aniers never bothered to make sure their food wouldn't hurt aniet to die a nors to sell to restaurants Cats weren't worth much and were often left to survive on their own In short, ani around here People needed to worry about their own lives In co owner

”He whines if I lock hio outside and play He'll be back by lunchtie are like that”

”Aren't you afraid someone will steal him?”

”No one steals dogs during the day and Lucky won't go far He'll stay in the village and there are people everywhere We need to lock hi around on his own during the daytime”
