Chapter 363: 363. Can the chestnuts be eaten yet_1 Chapter 363: 363. Can the chestnuts be eaten yet_1 In the vegetable plots.

Old Man Li had just heard a juicy piece of gossip with the crowd and now, leading his cow to the shady area beside the bamboo forest, he rambled on to his old buddy.

Sanbao and Sibao listened carefully for a while longer and, finding that no further noise came from their master’s house, they let out a grumbling sound from their throats before lying down again.

The look on their faces, a mix of disappointment and regret, resembled every raccoon dog that failed to get its paws on some juicy melon.

It wasn’t until more footsteps approached that the two Baos instantly perked up their ears!

Then, seeing Song Tan’s figure, they bolted towards her at lightning speed, their tails nearly spinning in circles!

Lots of hugs, kisses, and being lifted high was an indispensable part of their greeting routine with Song Tan.

So Sun Shouping followed behind, watching with wide eyes as Song Tan lifted Sanbao up and whooshed around in a circle, then simultaneously did the same with Sibao!

The ridge was so narrow, yet she managed it so steadily!

It scared Sun Shouping enough that he felt his heart might leap out of his chest, truly fearing she would lose her grip and both human and dogs would be flung into the field.

Bewildered by the shock, he didn’t even notice Song Tan’s impressive strength.

At that moment, Song Tan put the two Baos down and turned to point at the three dogs Sun Shouping had brought over:

“Sibao, do you want a girlfriend? Pick one?”

“Nonsense!” Sun Shouping gave her a look: “If we’re talking about having puppies, it’s got to be our Golden Sakura — Golden Sakura is the same breed as it.”

However, despite his readiness, Sibao glanced at the Golden Sakura across from him, then uninterestedly shifted his gaze and went with Sanbao to sniff each dog in turn.

Although he didn’t show any hostility, after sniffing them, Sibao returned to Song Tan’s side, snuggling against her legs once more.

That behavior made Sun Shouping watch again and again, always feeling that Song Tan was raising cats, not dogs.

But in an instant, he snapped back to reality, sighing with a hint of disappointment:

“What’s the matter? Is our Sibao not interested? Sigh, it really won’t work if they’re not in heat.”

But when would these dogs ever go into heat?

Just as he was feeling dejected, he saw the Golden Sakura in his hand suddenly take a couple of steps forward, circling Sibao and endlessly nudging and sniffing him with her nose, her tail starting to wag, epitomizing the image of a fawning dog.

William and General both vied for Sanbao’s attention.

Sun Shouping: …

In the face of this issue, he pulled out his cell phone: “Let me take a video and send it to Golden Sakura’s owner first.”

Song Tan, seeing him filming over there, simply reached for the cucumbers on the rack.

Meanwhile, Sun Shouping had just sent the video when, in less than a minute, a rapid reply came back–

“Great, great, great! I approve of this match, daddy does! Old Sun, I order you to make them bow to each other in marriage right away and have a litter of puppies!”

Sun Shouping was speechless.

“Big brother, did you not see your Golden Sakura is now fawning over Sibao?”

“I don’t care!”

“Look at Sibao’s physique, his muscles, his pedigree! I used to think our Golden Sakura was a rare gem, but I never thought someone could raise an even more exceptional one!”

“Quick, quick, quick, tell me, what do they eat every day? I want the same meal plan for ours.”

Sun Shouping fell silent.

How was he supposed to respond to that?

Leftover food soup, wheat bran and rice chaff, green onion tops, garlic leaves, rotten vegetable stalks?

Scientifically speaking, that’s nowhere near nutritious enough, hey!

He resolutely shifted the topic, then made a video call, with the camera pointed at several dogs:

“Did you see that? Such fine-looking dogs, and I’m trying to give your family a chance here, but Sibao just isn’t feeling it–these things can’t be forced.”

They’re not some unscrupulous breeding facility.

The person on the other end, however, wasn’t paying any attention to what he was saying and just took in a sharp breath of air: “Holy shit!”

Then came a hurried outpour:

“Looking through this camera, that one called Sibao looks even more handsome! Hey, Old Sun, put in a good word for us! Theirs is a male dog, the heavy responsibility still falls on our Golden Sakura, it’s not a bad deal!”

“And Sibao is so dashing! We’re not in this for a loveless courtship! I’m willing to bring my own kibble, and after the pups are born, she gets to pick first. With such fantastic genes, it’d be such a waste not to pass them on…”

“Plus, I swear I won’t sell them, I’ll raise them myself! I really do love our Golden Sakura!”

Sun Shouping had seen plenty of dog enthusiasts but had never encountered one who talked about themselves as if they were lovesick and lowly at home.

“…Not to mention,” the person on the line tried to convince him further, “our Golden Sakura is so well-behaved, one command one action, doesn’t bite or scare people easily, and can even control its own appetite! You’ve trained dogs yourself, you know better than anyone. At my home, it’s so sensible!”

“When I take her out for a walk, she never accepts food from strangers–”

The last word just hung there, unspoken.

That’s because in the camera view, Song Tan was breaking off a cucumber, feeding the dogs piece by piece.

They weren’t just talking about their Golden Sakura; the other dogs like William and General were all shoving their heads into her hand, eagerly competing for a treat!

Seeing this, Sun Shouping resignedly turned his head away.

What can you say?

Facing the dogs raised by Song Tan, his lifetime reputation as a dog trainer was ruined.

The matchmaking was off to a bad start, and now, hanging up the call, he angrily jumped down from the ridge and pulled off a tender cucumber: “Come on! If Sibao isn’t interested, let’s go check on Dabao and Erbao!”

“Don’t bother.”

Song Tan could see that the Treasure Dogs were currently engrossed in their careers, with no interest in romance whatsoever.

To put it plainly, they believed their bodies were not fully developed yet, choosing to leave emotions out of the equation for now; Sun Shouping’s efforts were purely a waste of time.

But she dared not say that out loud, and Sun Shouping certainly wouldn’t believe it!

Besides, with the dogs all brought here, shouldn’t they give it a try?

Right now, he was munching on a cucumber while asking Song Tan to take them further up the mountain.

This time, the trip up the mountain was different from the last.

The golden sakura trees planted along the edge of Chestnut Garden were thriving so arrogantly and excessively that they covered the entire fence densely.

The emerald leaves, the large white blossoms, the yellow stamens… stirred by the mountaintop breeze, it was like a romantic sea of flowers in undulation, and even the buzzing bees flying overhead seemed particularly lively and cute.

And beyond the gate, one could see a spot of cool shade inside.

The chestnut trees were lush and verdant, with their pointed and slightly elongated leaves fully unfurled, already sporting cute little green spiky husks.

In not much longer, these husks would crack open, revealing their glossy brown offspring…

“Can we eat the tender chestnuts now?”

Zhang Yanping, from the same dormitory, had brought some once during college; they were white, plump little chestnuts, with soft and thick skins. Peeling one and popping it in your mouth brought a delightfully sweet taste.

But these nuts couldn’t be kept at all, and by the next day, the uneaten ones already showed yellow spots and turned stale and unappetizing.

Now, looking at them again, Sun Shouping couldn’t help but ask.

Song Tan glanced at the chestnut husks on the branches, which were only about the size of ping pong balls, then looked at him with a puzzling expression: “You… are really not picky about what you eat. They haven’t even developed the nuts inside yet!”
