Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

Chapter 184 Returning South for the New Year 7

Seeing that the goldfish and Xiao Tang were playing together so well, Xiao Meng suddenly remembered that there were two Chinese junipers worth tens of thousands of yuan in front of her house. She wondered how they were doing and quickly went out to check on them.

Thankfully, the bonsai trees are exactly the same as when I left them. They haven't grown wildly or withered and died. They look like they've been pruned regularly.

The gardener said she had been learning to care for bonsai since she was a child, and it seems she wasn't exaggerating.

"This is the bonsai you brought back from the gardening company last time, right? It's very nice, very nice. How much did you say it cost last time?" Xiao Tang asked.

"Tens of thousands, I can't remember exactly. The gardener took good care of me." Xiaomeng nodded in satisfaction.

Aunt Zhang came out to explain, "These two bonsai trees were personally cared for by Sister Guan; they can't be watered casually."

"Then Sister Guan really did a great job." Xiaomeng felt more at ease.

"Ugh, raising these precious things is such a hassle, you even have to hire a gardener for them." Xiao Tang said with a look of disgust. "The moss background I used last time is much more durable, I just need to spray some water on it every day."

"You're getting all proud of it? Does your grandpa really like it?"

"Of course, the old man's calligraphy is still displayed in his study."

"Miss, the vegetable seedlings we planted in our backyard have grown quite a bit. Sister Bao said they're ready to be harvested and eaten. Would you like to take a look?" Aunt Zhang said, leading the way.

Moving from the front yard to a corner of the back yard, there is a mango tree with a doghouse under it. The doghouse has always been there, but it was empty before there was no dog.

This time, when Xiaomeng passed by the doghouse, she was surprised to see a stainless steel food bowl in front of the door.

Xiao Tang: "Hey, doghouse? You have a dog? Where's the dog? Why isn't it home?"

“Oh right, I should get a dog. Our yard is quite big. Aren’t you scared when you’re on duty at home?” Xiaomeng asked Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang quickly explained, "This dog bowl belongs to Master Bi's dog. Sometimes when we are on duty alone, Master Bi will lend us the dog. When the dog comes to work, it stays in this doghouse temporarily."

"Where's the puppy now?"

"Master Bi took the puppy home. The dog is a retired police dog. It was a bit depressed after retiring. It's happier when it's working, so Master Bi sometimes brings it here to help guard the house and patrol, and it's quite happy about it."

"Can puppies get depressed?"

“We don’t know either. Master Bi said it was the veterinarian who told us.”

Xiao Tang said, "I've heard that some working dogs lose their purpose in life once they retire, which can easily lead to depression."

Xiao Meng thought for a moment, "It's possible that Master Bi's house is relatively small, and larger dogs are happier running around in the yard."

Could you please tell Master Bi that we can bring our dog over for a walk and some fun?

"Then, Miss, what do you think about adopting one or two retired police dogs? Master Bi can help with the application. Those dogs are well-trained and quite reliable. It would be safer to have a working dog in the yard."

"Okay, could you please ask Master Bi to help you apply for one? Let the puppy run around in the yard and help watch the house."

The three walked under the trees next to the house. Xiao Tang looked up at the branches under the night lights and asked, "They're all fruit trees. Are they good varieties? Are they edible?"

Xiaomeng looked at Aunt Zhang, who smiled and said, "Mr. Tang can come and have a taste when the fruit trees bear fruit next year. The gardener said that if Miss doesn't like the variety of the fruit trees, we can graft another variety that she likes."

When Xiaomeng got to the backyard, she found that Cuiling had also come out for a walk, and Attorney Lang helped carry Doudou.

"Xiaomeng, come quick! The lettuce you planted is ready to eat." Sister Cuiling waved to Xiaomeng from in front of the planting box.

Sure enough, the vegetable garden planted by the gardener was lush and green, with two colors of lettuce, as well as lettuce, tomatoes, fennel, scallions, and garlic.

"I can really cook a few dishes now, and I won't need to buy vegetables tomorrow."

DouDou likes green vegetables, so she grabbed the lettuce leaves that were stretched out in front of her.

The lettuce was long and tall, just reaching her hand. The child stuffed a lettuce leaf directly into her mouth and then cried from the bitterness.

It made the adults next to them laugh non-stop.
