Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space-Chapter 129. Dogs

Then Xiao Si’s eyes widened and a joyful shout followed, startling everyone in the courtyard.

Hearing there were dogs, Hua Erge also got excited. He immediately forgot about unloading the rest of the stuff from the cart and squatted on the ground with his younger brother to lift the tilted bamboo cover.

Besides the little yellow dog trying to crawl back into the basket and was hijacked by Xiao Si, the other four plump little puppies in the basket made Hua Erge laugh with happiness.

Such cute little puppies, Hua Erge couldn’t help but reach out his mischievous hands to pick up the largest little black dog.

It was also the laziest and most sleepy one, didn’t even notice when it was moved, half-squinting while sleeping soundly.

"Second Brother, its name is Hei Da, it’s the laziest one," said Jin’er, reaching out to gently poke it, and then released the rest as well.

Being cooped up in the car all the way, it’s time to let the little guys have some air.

Even Hua Dage, who was carrying a basin of wash water, was attracted. He put the water down by his father and squatted with his siblings to watch the few little pups "awooing."

Speaking of which, these little pups were really quite large, almost twice the size of other pups he’d seen; their size was truly not ordinary.

Hua Dage suspected these might not be ordinary dogs, right?

Otherwise, even if they’re large, they’re still puppies. Seeing all the kids surrounding the pups at home, Hua Chengtian couldn’t help but smile, shaking his head as he started washing up.

Originally planning to enter the kitchen, Hua Laopozi was also attracted, couldn’t help but walk over for a look, even Hua Laohan did, standing beside his wife, watching the children holding the puppies.

As for the number of puppies brought back, it was indeed a lot. But they’ve already been taken home, and they couldn’t just dump them outside. More importantly, these were dogs brought back by his granddaughter, Hua Laohan couldn’t bear to upset his granddaughter, and now their family could afford to raise them, and once grown, they could guard the house.

Hua Laohan was also quite fond of them, his eyes clearly filled with liking, but as he watched, he noticed something different.

These dogs didn’t seem like the village’s native dogs... they looked more like hunting dogs.

If they really were hunting dogs, these few pups... would be something special indeed.

In his youth, Hua Laohan had heard stories about wealthy families who liked hunting, raising hunting dogs, with a top-notch hunting dog able to fend off several wolves at once, such a hunting dog could sell for up to a hundred silver coins.

Wolves were such a tough animal to deal with, and in Hua Laohan’s opinion, such a hunting dog should be the king among dogs, very rare to find.

He was amazed for a long time after hearing, wishing he could have a hunting dog; going to the mountains to hunt wouldn’t have to worry about coming back empty-handed.

Unfortunately, it was only a thought, as he struggled to feed himself in his younger years, how could he possibly afford to raise a hunting dog.

The puppies in the kids’ arms had sturdy limbs, their skulls and jaws were much larger and longer than average dogs, the more Hua Laohan looked, the more he felt they resembled hunting dogs.

Though he hadn’t seen a hunting dog in person, he had heard about them!

He immediately looked towards his son who was washing up.

Hua Chengtian, who had just washed his face and was wiping his neck with a towel, felt someone’s gaze upon turning his head, getting startled by his father’s narrowed eyes.

Secretly wondering if he did something wrong, his father’s expression seemed off.

Hastily wiping again without thorough rinsing, Hua Chengtian washed the towel and hung it on the rope in the courtyard, giving a nervous smile to his father.

"Dad, what’s wrong?" he asked, puzzled.

"Did you buy these dogs?"

"Yes..." With his father’s serious expression, Hua Chengtian clearly lacked confidence.

Thinking perhaps his father thought he bought too many and was being wasteful, Hua Chengtian took two steps back.

Being so old, getting hit by his father would be too embarrassing, he prepared to dodge at any time.

"Grandpa, it’s not dad’s fault, I wanted these puppies." Originally squatting to play with the puppies, Jin’er quickly stood up to defend her father.

Moreover, these puppies were what she wanted; she couldn’t let her father take the blame for her.

Saying this, Jin’er acted like a child who made a mistake, uneasily looking at her grandfather, softly adding: "Grandpa, did I buy too many?"

Just as Jin’er finished speaking, Hua Laohan’s wife gave him a fierce twist as punishment for scaring their dear granddaughter.

Seeing the pitiful expression on his granddaughter’s face made Hua Laopozi’s heart ache, glaring at Hua Laohan with eyes full of threat, she said through clenched teeth: "Old man, did Jin’er buy too many?"

The pain made it impossible for Hua Laohan to maintain his serious expression, his facial muscles involuntarily twitched.

He looked pleadingly at his wife: "Of course not, how could I dislike what our Jin’er bought; not only do I not dislike, but I also want to praise our precious granddaughter for making such a good purchase."

Then he beamed at his granddaughter: "Jin’er, don’t worry, grandpa didn’t mean it, grandpa just thinks these puppies are great and wanted to ask out of curiosity. You all misunderstood."

"Really?" Hua Laopozi looked at her husband suspiciously.

"Why, don’t you believe me? When have I ever lied? I really don’t think it’s too many." The disbelief on his aging wife’s face left Hua Laohan almost in tears, how could a few questions lead to so much misunderstanding.

After scrutinizing him, confirming there was no reluctance in his eyes, Hua Laopozi believed him, quickly comforting their granddaughter by her side.

"Jin’er, your grandpa didn’t mean it, don’t worry!"

The moment grandpa explained, Jin’er realized she misunderstood him, seeing her grandpa looking pitiful under grandma’s control made her feel somewhat guilty, she shot her grandpa an appeasing yet admiring smile, nodding enthusiastically.

On the other side, Hua Chengtian also let out a sigh of relief, whether or not he misunderstood his father, with his mother around, everything would be okay.

The sight of his son relaxing got noticed by Hua Laohan, who took advantage, glaring at his son fiercely while granddaughter and wife were distracted.

If it wasn’t for this troublesome son’s exaggerated behavior, how would their dear granddaughter have misunderstood, prompting his wife’s anger.

Hua Chengtian: "..."

He silently shifted towards his daughter.

Jin’er, suppressing a laugh at her father’s cautious move, curved her eyes like sweet, twinkling stars and looked at Hua Laohan.

"Grandpa, do you also think these puppies are good?"

"Yes," Hua Laohan instantly perked up at the interesting topic, nodded enthusiastically showing his granddaughter a kindly smile.

"Not only are they large, but their limbs are also very sturdy, the puppies Jin’er picked are really excellent, could they be hunting dogs?"

"Grandpa has a sharp eye, the owner said these are hunting dogs."

"They really are," delighted, Hua Laohan took one from his eldest grandson with a slightly eager look.

Could this be considered his dear granddaughter fulfilling his youthful dream!

These were hunting dogs!!

Hua Laopozi pursed her lips, not understanding why a few puppies could excite an old man like a child.

"Jin’er, go wash up quickly," uninterested in watching the old man’s antics, she reminded the child and hurried into the kitchen, helping her daughter-in-law bring out the cooked dishes.
