Chapter 1268: Extra: Huo Yao, That Little Smarty!
Chapter 1268: Extra: Huo Yao, That Little Smarty! Huo Feng didn’t know why Huo Yao was interested in dogs; perhaps he inherited it from Pu Sangzhi.
All in all, when he saw Huo Yao with his face scratched and his clothes torn, yet cheerfully leading a dog he snatched from someone else...
Huo Feng knew he had to seriously consider buying a dog.
Huo Yao was happily playing with that obedient little teddy in the living room, bubbles of snot gleaming.
In the dining room, Huo Feng was listening to Auntie recount the events of the afternoon.
Auntie told Huo Feng that Huo Yao particularly liked the Yang Family’s 5-year-old child’s little teddy.
This afternoon, Huo Yao ended up in a fight while playing with that kid.
At two and a half years old, he definitely couldn’t beat a 5-year-old, so he got a good thrashing from the 5-year-old from the Yang Family. By the time Auntie found him, Huo Yao was crying with bubbles of snot.
The 5-year-old from the Yang Family, feeling sorry seeing Huo Yao cry like that, agreed to let him borrow the dog to play at home for a day but had to bring it back to the community garden tomorrow...
Huo Yao, who was heartbroken a moment ago, abruptly stopped crying upon hearing he could take the dog home, ran to touch the puppy, and laughed immediately.
Which led to the scene now in the living room.
Huo Feng looked over to the living room, where Huo Yao...
Feeling a pang of melancholy, he could only sigh, "Sigh, just a flash in the pan, isn’t it."
"Could be just a flash in the pan." Auntie nodded.
Raising a dog is a troublesome business, you know.
Huo Feng used to have a cat and taking care of its litter, feeding, vaccinations, deworming, bathing—it was just like taking care of a child.
Dogs are even more trouble than cats; they need walks!
Plus, once you’re committed to raising one, you must take responsibility for it.
A dog’s lifespan, barring unforeseen circumstances, can be around 10 years!
Huo Feng definitely didn’t have the energy for a dog.
Even Auntie didn’t have the energy; taking care of just Huo Yao was already giving her enough headaches.
Thinking of all these uncontrollable factors, Huo Feng’s heart that was about to relent stiffened up again.
"It’s not feasible. You can’t just indulge him in everything; raising a dog is such trouble, a two and a half-year-old can’t manage it."
Huo Feng glanced at Auntie, "Auntie can’t take care of another dog, right?"
"What?"
Auntie was momentarily stunned, then understood what Huo Feng meant.
"I wouldn’t know the first thing about raising a dog. Feeding it is fine, but I don’t know anything else. Isn’t raising dogs quite troublesome?"
Auntie said while gesturing towards the little teddy in the living room as an example, "I heard from the elders of the Yang Family that their dog needs to be walked every day, and you have to follow behind and pick up its poop. It also needs vaccinations and regular trips to the pet hospital for baths; it’s quite a hassle! Besides, I don’t know how to do any of that~"
After hearing all this from Auntie, Huo Feng got it: she wouldn’t raise a dog.
It’s impossible for Huo Feng to raise a dog himself; he was so busy with work that he could barely take care of Huo Yao, let alone a dog!
"Yes, indeed, raising cats or dogs is really troublesome."
Huo Feng nodded in agreement, "Let’s just wait for him to lose interest."
In the living room, Huo Yao was happily playing with the little teddy.
With a little companion today, the child was in a great mood, giggling continually and chasing the little teddy around the living room.
Huo Feng walked towards the living room, just in time for the little teddy to come running and bump into his leg.
This little teddy was quite obedient, didn’t bark or make a fuss, raising its head to look at Huo Feng while wagging its tail furiously.
Obviously, it was a well-trained little dog.
Seeing the little thing being so well-behaved, Huo Feng smiled in contentment.
"Being good is useless, you’re destined to only live here for a day."
He said while sitting down heavily on the couch, taking out his phone to check his work documents.
"Dad, Lucky is super good!"
Huo Yao toddled over to Huo Feng, raising his little head, staring intently at Huo Feng, "Let’s buy a Lucky too!"
"No way."
Huo Feng directly refused, "Nobody to take care of it if we buy one; don’t even think about adding trouble to the family."
"I’ll take care of it!"
Huo Yao puffed his little mouth, retorting loudly.
"Stop fooling around, you can’t even take care of yourself, let alone a dog."
Huo Feng rejected mercilessly, "In this house, either the dog stays or you do, make your choice."
Huo Yao pointed his chubby finger at Huo Feng, "Dad, you can leave!"
