“I’ll go make a fire. Chunxiu, cut some sweet potatoes and cook porridge together.”
The food for raising this wolf cub was handed over to their family along with this wolf cub. It happened that Xie Changzheng had little food left from the black market. Before, he had been thinking about going to the city again.
Now he had 80 catties of food, and the Xie family also agreed to separate the family. For a period of time afterward, he didn’t need to worry about the food problem.
The rice was already heated with water and the residual heat of the stove. With the addition of some firewood, the rice porridge was soon cooked into a soft consistency. With the addition of sweet potatoes by Xu Chunxiu, a sweet aroma gradually wafted from the kitchen.
The wolf cub hadn’t caught any prey for two days. When he was hungry, he could only find some wild fruits and grass to eat. Now when he smelled the sweet smell, he couldn’t help but feel a little restless. His two hands were restlessly pulling at the rope that trapped him.
But when Ah Wu looked at him, he calmed down again. He squatted with his feet, supported his hands between his feet, and looked up high, trying his best to imitate the sitting posture of the most handsome wolf king in the whole wolf pack.
Having good manners is also the key to courtship in animals.
His brothers and sisters have already given birth to many litters of puppies. He also wants to have puppies, but he doesn’t know how likely it is that two bald people will give birth to puppies with thick fur.
“Don’t untie the rope yet. I’ll go to the old house to settle the separation of the family. When the rice porridge is cold, you can feed it to Fusheng. As for the bath, wait until I come back.”
Xie Changzheng felt that he had to go to the old house as soon as possible to settle the separation of the family. He was afraid that the night would be long and dreams would be many. If he waited until the next day, his mother might have regretted it again.
“Go ahead and don’t worry.”
Xu Chunxiu nodded, put the bowl of rice porridge on the table to wait for it to cool, and then told Ah Wu not to get close to the wolf cub. She took the dirty clothes to the well in the yard and prepared to wash the clothes.
“Do you want to eat?”
Ah Wu tilted her head and looked at the disheveled boy. The other party’s eyes turned back and forth between her and the bowl of rice porridge, making her want to laugh.
“Ah—”
The little wolf cub didn’t understand Ah Wu’s words, but he instinctively howled.
“It’s a little hot. Let me blow it for you.”
Ah Wu took the bowl of rice porridge, scooped a spoonful, measured the temperature with her lips, and made sure it was not too hot before she put the spoon in the wolf cub’s mouth.
“Eat it, just like that, eat it in one mouthful.”
For fear that the wolf cub would not be able to use the spoon, Ah Wu even made the motion of opening her mouth and swallowing for the little wolf cub to imitate.
“Ah—”
The wolf cub was hungry. Looking at the rice porridge right under his nose, he tentatively stuck out his tongue. The food didn’t seem too hot to Ah Wu, but it scared the wolf cub, who had never eaten cooked food, so much that he retracted his tongue.
However, the sweet taste of rice porridge mixed with sweet potatoes on the tip of the tongue was too tempting.
After struggling for a while, the wolf cub couldn’t resist the temptation. He moved closer to the spoon and swallowed the full spoonful of rice porridge into his mouth.
With a ‘crack’, the soup spoon broke.
The wolf cub’s teeth, which were sharper than those of an ordinary person, bit the spoon directly in half, and the skin on his lips was also cut by the sharp cross-section of the broken edge.
But the wolf didn’t seem to feel any pain. He just frowned slightly and prepared to chew again.
“Oh, you idiot.”
In a hurry, Ah Wu didn’t remember her mother’s advice to keep a safe distance from the boy. She directly grabbed his upper and lower teeth with her fingers.
“You can’t eat the spoon. Spit it out quickly.”
Ah Wu was a little anxious. If the wolf cub didn’t understand, she would start taking it out the next second.
For wild beasts, stealing food from wolves is something they cannot do, even if it is their mate or children. Especially when they are eating, those who snatch food are often regarded as enemies, so a fight is inevitable.
The wolf cub felt that he should bite the female beast now, but after thinking about it, he was still reluctant.
“Woo—”
He had a stern face and was so conflicted that he spat out half a spoonful of soup in his mouth and the rice porridge that he had not yet swallowed into Ah Wu’s palm.
At this moment, the wolf cub had only one sad and angry thought in his mind: The bald female beast he liked might be even more domineering than the tigress in the mountains.

I will really appreciate it. ♥️♥️♥️

Pfft silly boy and his silly worldview. Its quite comedic to see the pov of a boy who thinks being covered in fur is beautiful and that its sad to be a bald monkey, because he thinks hes a wolf and doesnt understand what a hooman is.
