Chapter 271 Village Chief
There were lotus flowers in front of her. Yuan Lai stuck her head out of the water and gasped for breath. Zhao Li hadn't given her any warning, and she nearly drowned.
"Woof woof woof!!!"
The puppies gathered excitedly around the viewing platform, their round eyes wide open, their teeth and claws bared, barking wildly at the two people in the water. The barking echoed one after another, as if the whole world was filled with this noise.
A figure hurried over. It turned out to be Hong Bao, who had followed the sound of the dog barking. He saw the two people in the water at a glance and was also startled.
He hurriedly ran to the water's edge and quickly pulled the two out of the water. As he pulled them out, he anxiously asked, "What happened to you two? How did you end up in the pond?"
Yuan Lai, who was rescued to the shore, was wet all over, his clothes were stuck to his body, his hair was messy, and he looked very embarrassed.
She raised her head, and her eyes involuntarily fell on Zhao Li across from her. Zhao Li looked so clean and fresh at this moment, forming a sharp contrast with herself. Yuan Lai couldn't help but secretly groan in her heart. For the first time in her life, she sighed so strongly that life was really hard!
After Yuan Lai finished showering and changing her clothes, she pushed open the door and walked out. The moment she stepped out, she was greeted by an interesting scene: Zhao Li and Hong Bao were standing face to face, their eyes wide open, staring at each other, as if a silent battle was quietly unfolding.
Meanwhile, the village chief was busy pouring a full bowl of dog food into the bowl. The puppies cheered excitedly when they saw the food, huddled together, and devoured the delicious food voraciously.
At this moment, Hong Bao was feeling uncomfortable because of Zhao Li's fixed gaze. When he saw Yuan Lai coming out of the room, he felt like he had found a lifeline. He quickly ran behind Yuan Lai and hid, complaining, "Why are you so slow?"
Yuan Lai, who was inexplicably blamed, felt a little amused and helpless. She looked at the red envelope hidden behind her and said, "Red envelope, why are you hiding? Zhao Li is just a child."
Hearing this, Zhao Li came forward curiously, stared at the red envelope behind Yuan Lai and asked, "Your name is Hong Bao? This name is really strange."
Hongbao was unhappy when he heard this. He waved his fist in anger and retorted loudly: "What do you mean by weird? This is a name that my father worked hard to come up with, getting up early and staying up late. I don't like other names. What do you know?" Hongbao's serious look successfully made Zhaoli laugh.
"Hahahaha, you're too sensitive. I said the name was weird, but I didn't say it was a bad name. My dad worked hard to give me my name, so we're the same."
"I'm different from you." Hongbao retorted.
After adding the water, the village chief slowly walked over with a smile on his face. He kept muttering, "What a great day! Li Hao sent me a message yesterday saying he'd be back to pick up these puppies. That's perfect, let's get started and put them in the cages."
Hearing this, Yuan Lai smiled and nodded, then followed the village chief into a small room. He moved the dog cages out one by one and placed them neatly in the yard.
The village chief looked at the lively and energetic puppies and couldn't help but sigh, "They're all so clever! It took a lot of effort to put them into the cages smoothly."
Before he finished speaking, the whole yard suddenly became noisy. It turned out that Zhao Li was very interested in catching dogs and was the first to take action, targeting her best friend.
As for her best friend, she was terrified when she saw someone running towards her aggressively. However, as the saying goes, "a cornered dog will jump over the wall," in this critical moment, her best friend actually demonstrated her amazing "jailbreaking" ability.
I saw it suddenly leap up and actually jumped more than one meter high, but it accidentally got stuck on the tall gate.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned at first, and then they couldn't help but burst into laughter. Hong Bao quickly walked forward and took great pains to rescue her best friend who was stuck in the door, and then locked her in a dog cage nearby.
Hong Bao, on the other hand, seemed to be doing it with remarkable ease. He was agile and caught both Little Wolf and Zhuang Zhuang in one swift motion, his movements clean and efficient, without any delay.
Meanwhile, Xiaobai was running around the yard like a headless chicken, leaving everyone in a panic. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Yuan Lai seized the opportunity and reached out a hand, accurately grabbing Xiaobai.
Finally, only Hebao and Four Eyes were left. They seemed to have seen through everything, and with a lazy look on their faces, they didn't show any intention of resisting at all. They obediently crawled into the cage on their own initiative, as if to say, "I can't escape anyway, so I might as well save my energy..."
Just after they completed the arrest, the roar of a car engine came from far away, and the sound became clearer and clearer.
Hong Bao was so excited that he could hardly contain himself. He ran happily towards the door, eager to greet the incoming visitors.
Soon, Haohao and Yiheng were seen laboriously unloading heavy boxes from the trunk of the car. Upon closer inspection, they discovered a variety of milk, fresh and tempting fruits, and a dazzling array of other gifts.
Haohao walked quickly to the village chief and said with a smile, "Village chief, you've been really hard at work these days! It took me a lot of effort to find a suitable adoptive family. But fortunately, it all went smoothly in the end, and I also coordinated a time with the adoptive parents. They're all waiting at the village entrance right now. I didn't want to cause you unnecessary trouble, so I didn't let them in."
After saying this, Haohao turned and gestured for Yiheng to move the things they had moved into the living room and arrange them there. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Haohao quietly pulled a wad of cash from his pocket and quickly stuffed it into the village chief's hand. "Village chief, I'm so sorry, but I'm so busy with work that I can't spare much time to take care of things here. So I have to trouble you to help look after these dogs. This small amount of money is my little token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
However, the village chief pushed the money back without hesitation, waving his hands repeatedly and saying, "What are you talking about! Everything here was purchased with your own money, and you're still taking care of it with red envelopes. I just provided this small yard, how could I take your money?"
Seeing the village chief's firm attitude, Haohao did not give up. Instead, he forcefully stuffed the money back into the village chief's hand and said sincerely, "Village chief, please don't refuse. This amount of money is really not much, only a few hundred yuan. Take it and buy something you like to eat."
