Her Cultivation Diary

To be fair, the three dogs Song Tan brought back — Five, Six, Qibao — aren't ugly.

In fact, because they're lively and have been raised with good nutrition, even though their frames are only medium-sized, their fur looks thick and shiny, making them appear extra warm-hearted and cute as they pant.

But this kind of warm-hearted cuteness, combined with her brief character description, just makes them...

Even cuter.

Even Lun Chuan couldn't help but lift the corners of his mouth, trying his best not to laugh and hurt Qibao's pride.

But—

"Ahem...ahem, it's just a puppy. What workplace competitiveness should a puppy have?"

"Yeah," Song Tan shrugged helplessly, "So isn't he just assigned to watch the tea garden?"

Especially now when there are only small tea sprouts, at a time when there's nothing to steal.

Qibao had no idea he was being laughed at. He just saw his owner at his new job and inevitably started leaping around joyfully.

Because he was too excited, the few layers of mugwort sprouts that Song Tan and Lun Chuan were about to pick were firmly pressed down by his paws and couldn't be picked.

Song Tan: "…See, I told you."

Lun Chuan looked at the empty basket and chuckled: "It's okay, we'll go pick mugwort first, there are more mugwort sprouts ahead."

He pointed ahead to a layer of slightly similar mugwort, which Qibao saw and then dashed bravely and accurately in the direction of his finger!

He leaped with such force that the leaves ahead were scattered far away by his rough paws, almost making him seem fierce.

But now, the mugwort was gone too.

Lun Chuan couldn't help but laugh: "Hmm, indeed no workplace competitiveness."

…

To really talk about workplace competitiveness, it would be Little Ten and Little Eleven.

After all, a Border Collie is a Border Collie, and a dog is a dog.

Even with Da Wang holding down the riverside, the two of them still often impersonate authority. Since they haven't received proper education, they herd sheep, herd dogs, herd people, herd chickens, and ducks...

Basically, as long as it's alive, they want to herd it. Whether they do it well is another matter, but their energy is truly abundant. Even Song Sancheng's ugly little boat used for fishing, they dared to secretly untie the rope.

If it wasn't for the wind blowing towards the shore that day, by the time people noticed, the boat might have drifted to the middle of the river.

Now, on the entire riverside, only Chen Xi, Big White, Goose Sister and Da Wang refuse to be herded.

Da Wang, because of his size and being the true alpha of the house.

Big White and Goose Sister, because they look down on the world and disdain everything smaller than themselves — in their eyes, small is small.

As for Chen Xi… Chen Xi because he has brains. He's not spoiled like Zhang Wang's family, so he remains a lonely, clear-headed soul.

And with spring flowers blossoming, it's again the season for animals to reproduce. Coming faster than Qibao's re-education is Brother Xiaosun who's long wanted to avenge himself!

Known in the community as Dog Brother.

Brother Xiaosun's business last year was pretty good.

Because he streamed live to a group of people, plus Qiaoqiao's streaming, folks came to his dog farm and, while other dogs couldn't compare to Da Wang and the others, they were very well-trained.

Even their appearance and health weren't bad, one thing leading to another, eventually resulting in quite a bit of business.

And now as he comes again, aside from being greedy, he carries an important task —

Matchmaking.

…

"So what's the real situation with your dogs?"

Brother Xiaosun was almost out of patience: "As long as they aren't neutered, dogs can get into heat all year round. But look at your dogs… Zhang Yanping, we're all friends, tell me honestly, what exactly have you done to them?"

"Reproduction is an animal instinct, how is it going against nature?"

Zhang Yanping, clueless, ended up with a big burden, though shared with the family, but what could he do since Brother Xiaosun was his classmate!

At this moment, he was speechless: "Why are you asking me? Ask the dogs."

"Besides, why don't you reflect on yourself, whether you're bringing those common and vulgar ones? Our treasures are smart, obedient, handsome, and beautiful, what's wrong with being a bit picky?"

"Is this really a question of being picky?"

Brother Xiaosun was frustrated: "This indeed feels like a life of abstinence!"

He pulled out his phone: "I'm telling you, help me take a look too. This time I've found dogs with top-notch appearance and lineage, their families have good conditions too, they're a good match for your treasures."

Zhang Yanping instinctively leaned over to look at the phone video, then suddenly realized: "Why are you asking me? Talk to Tantan!"

Brother Xiaosun felt aggrieved: "I did."

"She said she can't manage marital affairs, told me to ask the dogs."

Zhang Yanping: "…So, you're asking me?"

He pointed at himself, his strong face carrying a fierce aura.

Brother Xiaosun: … If it weren't for being classmates for several years, he wouldn't dare to speak now!

"Hey, don't worry about these things. Just take a look! These are all VIP clients from my group, I've personally inspected their dogs, not lying to you, it's really a great match!"

"Why don't you bring them over then," Zhang Yanping was annoyed: "Next month we'll all be busy, while there's still time, you can bring the dogs over for matchmaking."

"Just like last year, we cover the dog's meals."

"If the dog's owner comes, we offer cafeteria food."

If it were last year, Sun Shouping could invite people and dogs at the drop of a hat, but after bringing a few last time and not having one picked, it hurt his enthusiasm.

But—

The riverbank breeze blows gently, green reeds connect to the lively pasture. The green fields managed in sections look like a velvet carpet, extending to the newly sprouted tender lotus fields on the other side of Jinhe.

And in this beautiful scenery, a few dogs playfully run back and forth, their thick fur in the sunlight gleaming like fine satin.

He couldn't help but record a video, suddenly understanding these treasures better — with such excellent personal conditions, it's normal to look down on other dogs.

But—

"Retired service dogs should be okay, right? Their requirements shouldn't be too high?"

Brother Xiaosun's eyes brightened, evidently retired service dogs were quite popular too.

Not to mention, that Labrador called "Duoduo" was somewhat chubby, but his whole body's light golden fur was really attractive.

And Princess, such a stable and big-sisterly Wolf Qing!

Not to mention her left eye decorated with a delicate silver openwork eyepatch, when she lightly glanced over, she looked just like a legendary spiritual dog from a Xianxia novel, extraordinarily elegant in both aura and appearance.

This path hadn't occurred to Zhang Yanping, but—

"They're retired due to injuries, I don't know if the contract Tantan signed back then had any terms regarding breeding, maybe we need to apply with Ning City."

Of these four retired service dogs, the oldest is Yingjun, but he's only seven. He's the steadiest German Shepherd of them, looking incredibly handsome when he seriously treats people.

Zhang Yanping hesitated: "I'll help you ask."
