After more than half a month of hard work, the wheat was finally harvested. On the last day, we will plant radishes, a small crop, in the fields tomorrow, and we can harvest another crop in the fall.

When we got off work, everyone's steps were much lighter. Shen He and Xiao Yajuan were chatting affectionately, and suddenly a puppy jumped out of the grass.

"Woof..."

The puppy howled and rushed towards the two girls, and soon arrived in front of them. It was not big, and its voice was soft, so it should have been born not long ago. Xiao Yajuan subconsciously raised her leg and kicked the puppy, kicking it to the ground, and it squeaked pitifully.

"It hurts, it hurts, I'm so hungry, where is my mom? I'm so hungry..."

The pitiful appearance of the little guy made people feel pity for him. Shen He could understand his language, which made him feel even more pity for him. Nowadays, food is tight and few families keep dogs. Is it a wild dog? It looks a bit like a wolf, maybe it's a hybrid.

She squatted down to touch the puppy, and Xiao Yajuan pulled her: "Don't move casually, this guy looks a bit like a wolf, it should be a wolfdog. Wolfdogs are very fierce, be careful of being bitten by it."

"I know, I will be careful." After talking to her friend, the girl turned and looked at the puppy, "Are you hungry? Where did your mother go? Why didn't she take you with her?"

The puppy raised his head, and his dark eyes were as pure as a clear spring in the mountains, "I don't know, my mother didn't come back. I'm so hungry, the leaves are not delicious."

Making a living in the wild has never been an easy thing. Could it be that something happened to the big dog, so it left the cub alone?

No matter what it was, Shen He decided to take the dog back first, otherwise it was so small and weak that it had no ability to survive in the wild. If no one takes care of it, it might starve to death soon, or be eaten by some large animal as dinner.

"I'll take you home and give you food. You have to be good and don't bite anyone. Got it."

"Awooo,"

The dog responded and let the girl hold it. Seeing that she wanted to keep this dog, Xiao Yajuan opened her lips several times but didn't say anything. She was a little sad all the way.

It was Shen He's turn to cook today, and Huo Xinghua had already switched to work with her. He was working in the barn today, and he had just walked in when they came back.

"Hey, where did you get this puppy?"

"I picked it up on the road." Shen He put the puppy on the ground. "You wait obediently, I'll find you something to eat."

The girl said and rushed into the house. Huo Xinghua squatted down with interest to tease the little guy. When he was a child, he grew up in the army with his parents. He liked military dogs very much and often watched how they were trained.

The man took a bean stalk and put it in front of its nose to see its reaction. The soft stalk scratched the dog's nose back and forth. The little guy was listless at first, but suddenly raised his head and bit off the stalk. Then he lay on the ground and didn't move, as if the previous attack had used up all his strength.

Huo Xinghua laughed, threw away the things in his hand, clapped his hands and stood up, "Not bad, a bit of blood."

Shen He found two pieces of biscuits and took them out. The scene of her feeding the dog with biscuits in her hand was seen by several people living with her. Everyone showed disapproving expressions at the same time. This is too wasteful. Feeding a dog with biscuits, which is a precious thing that people can't eat, you actually feed it to a dog.
