The pet I raised comes from the second dimension.

In the biting cold of winter, as the temperature plummeted after sunset, the little shed remained surprisingly warm. The warm yellow light, like a flame igniting in the winter night, drew passersby to stop and admire it.

The dumplings are free; a small bowl contains five dumplings, and the fillings are quite generous.

Clean, hygienic, and delicious.

Who wouldn't love to eat that?

In particular, the Doro members themselves would often eat a couple to satisfy their cravings when they were hungry.

Customers who came to join the fun formed a long queue, blocking the road.

Customers in line were scrolling through Douyin videos.

No one hesitated to like and follow.
After all, who would want to spend money if dumplings were free?
Doro loves crowded places the most.
It personally served hot dumpling soup to the customers in line.

With her little paws wrapped in cotton gloves, Doro carried a plastic bowl to the end of the line, her face beaming with a smile. "Auntie, this is some noodle soup for you. Have a sip to warm your stomach!"

She blinked her eyes, her voice was soft and sweet, and the last syllable rose in pitch.

Doraemon was full of anticipation.

It patiently waits for the other party's response.

The woman, who was about forty years old, heard Ruru's soft voice beside her. She looked down and saw Doro. She hadn't noticed the little guy approaching because she had a scarf wrapped around her neck.

"okay!"

"Watch the video and follow me to get five free dumplings, right?"

The aunt took the plastic bowl from Doro's hand, blew on it to cool it down, and took a couple of small sips of the dumpling soup, which warmed her stomach.

"If I have two phones and follow and watch videos on both Douyin accounts, can I eat five more dumplings?"

"Little ones, the dumplings you made are delicious. It would be great if you could sell them in bulk."

"The day after tomorrow is the winter solstice. I'll buy your dumplings and take them home so I won't have to make dumplings for my husband and kids myself."

As she spoke, she slurped up the hot soup. After finishing the bowl, the auntie exhaled hot air as if she wanted more.

The dumplings being sold were very popular.
Doraemon was very happy.
It happily jumped and spun around in place.

As for the aunt's question, Dorothy didn't answer immediately. Instead, she handed her an olunji to express her apology. "Sorry, Auntie, please wait a moment. I'll go ask Dorothy for you. If possible, I'll come and tell you right away!"

Doraemon ran straight to the tent.

It left its chubby back view, covered in a down jacket, for the queuing customers.

Inside the tent, Dorothy was operating the dumpling machine, hurrying to restock the stock.

Semi-handmade dumplings are so popular!

Customers' enthusiasm led to a shortage of dumplings.

Donas and Shuchu took on the tasks of chopping vegetables and preparing fillings, respectively.

Actually, dumpling machines can automatically mix fillings, but the taste is far inferior to that of homemade dumplings.

Hidden under the hood of Shu Chu's down jacket, Lemi manipulated Shu Chu by pulling her hair, preparing the filling by hand at a speed no slower than a machine.

They saw Doraemon rushing over.
Dorothy knew without a doubt that it had something to say.
After pressing the machine button, Dorothy faced Doraemon and listened patiently to his description.

"Hmm...that's it!"

"Could you let that aunt have five more dumplings?" Doro asked breathlessly and expectantly, speaking each word with exceptional clarity.

Dorothy thought for a moment, then nodded, deciding it was fine. "Of course! Having a few phones doesn't matter, as long as Auntie's Douyin accounts are two different ones. Dorothy, have you checked?"

"Forget it!"

"I'll go with you to take a look, and while I'm at it, I'll tell the other customers about the new regulations."

Pulling the zipper tight, Dorothy and Doraemon hold hands and go to find the lady in line.

The two phones have three different Douyin accounts.
This means the auntie can eat 15 dumplings for free!
Dorothy gladly allowed the aunt to eat her fill of dumplings.

The same person with different Douyin accounts will get more views or likes on their videos and should therefore enjoy more benefits.

Furthermore, while checking the aunt's likes, Dorothy was surprised to find that her TikTok account balance was a whopping three digits!

"Auntie, aren't you going to withdraw the remaining balance?" Dorothy asked, her eyes wide with curiosity.

Upon hearing this, the aunt shook her head cheerfully and explained, "It's not that I don't want to withdraw the money, it's that I can't withdraw it. Little one, it seems you haven't used the Lite version of Douyin before, and you don't know that the daily withdrawal limit is one."

"I withdraw thirty yuan from the express version every day."

"These remaining balances are the parts that cannot be withdrawn."

After explaining the truth, the woman tilted her head slightly, appearing unintentionally proud.

Dorothy is quick-witted.

It understood immediately.

Then he was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth.

"Really? Really?"

"Earn more than thirty yuan a day by watching videos? Three phones, that's almost a hundred yuan in total, no way!" Dorothy's lips twitched, thinking the other person might be bragging, and she didn't dare to believe it rashly.

The woman lowered her head, her smile fading slightly. She became serious and patiently explained, "These high-speed video apps have a fixed algorithm. As long as you follow the algorithm every day, you can earn at least twenty yuan by watching ads for eight hours."

"However, watching ads requires downloading software, which can damage your phone over time."

"I only buy phones that cost less than 1,000 yuan."

"The average daily cost is around three yuan..."

“My husband is doing cryptocurrency mining in games, and I found a casual job while making money by watching ads every day. The income is better than working a regular job.”

As she spoke, the woman tilted her head and gave Dorothy a meaningful look.

Her expression was a half-smile, as if she were teasing the little one.

The woman's expression seemed to say: "Want to learn? You want to become my apprentice? I'll teach you!"
Dorothy was intelligent, but rather introverted. She lowered her head shyly, pretending not to hear, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.

To become an apprentice and learn a skill?

This is so embarrassing!
Dorothy's face flushed pink, and she turned away, slipping straight back to her tent to cook dumplings.

Doraemon is outgoing and loves to earn money through hard work.
He hurriedly nodded and bowed to the aunt.
It respectfully and sincerely sought guidance.

"Auntie~"

"Excuse me, what should I do...?"

Before Duoluo could even finish asking his question, the auntie sent a private message to Duoluo's Douyin account with an incredibly detailed, fast-paced guide on how to raise pigs by watching ads.

Little Pig, the speed version, offers a feature to watch specific videos, where you can earn up to 1-1.5 coins every 5 minutes.

1 gold coins are equivalent to 1 yuan.

As long as the piglets are raised well.
Earning 30 yuan a day for just three hours is a considerable income for the average person!
I've learned some great tips for making a little extra money.

Doraemon was so excited that he could only whimper and couldn't speak.
I'm so excited!

Seeing the little guy happy, the auntie's mood improved even more, and she jokingly said, "Auntie will share her way of earning pocket money with you. Can you exchange it for two pounds of frozen dumplings? The day after tomorrow is the Winter Solstice, and I don't really feel like making dumplings. It would be great if I could buy two pounds..."

The first part of the sentence is that she was teasing Doraemon;

The second half of the sentence reveals that the real intention was to spend money to buy dumplings, saving both money and trouble.

After listening, Doraemon nodded and then shook his head, intending to agree but not saying anything.

While still innocent by nature, Doro has gained much more experience and understands the importance of being wary of scams in life.

"Hmm~"

"I'll go back and try out the clever trick my aunt suggested."

"If it really works, we'll set up a stall here again the day after tomorrow and prepare two pounds of dumplings for Auntie!" Turning around, Doro returned to the tent and continued to serve hot soup to the other customers in line.

Several tens of minutes later.
The dumpling filling we prepared in advance has run out, and we only have half a bag left. It's time to close up shop.

This morning, I used a machine to make 300 jin (150 catties) of dumplings.
The dumplings made fresh at the stall weighed about 200 jin (100 catties).

A total of 500 jin (250 catties) of dumplings were made, and nearly 3,000 fans were gained – a great success!

After cleaning up the trash, Shu Chu and the Doro members worked together to restore the cleanliness of the area around the small tent, and then walked back to the villa under the stars and moon.

It's cold, so I walk slowly to enjoy the street view.

Dorothy walked forward while following the instructions on her phone, trying out short videos on TikTok Lite.

"Ding-ling-ling"

The sound effect for opening the treasure chest simulates the sound of gold coins falling.

The treasure chest pop-up window displayed a button that said "Watch the video to get 3581 gold coins".

Successfully cultivated the treasure chest.
Dorothy's big eyes widened.
Ignoring the biting wind and its shivering hands, it raised its paw and boasted to its companions, "Hey~. Aren't I amazing? I can earn three cents watching a thirty-second ad, and another thirty seconds for two cents! After watching a whole bunch of ads, five minutes is enough to earn more than a dollar..."

Far from the streetlights, Dorothy's face wasn't fully illuminated, and her smile was hidden in the shadows.

Judging from his tone, you could tell he was pleasantly surprised.

Upon learning that her friend could earn money even by walking, Donas was extremely envious and decided to study tutorials and watch videos as well.

But as soon as his hand emerged from his sleeve,
Donas let out a "woof".

The biting wind made its claws cold and painful.

Donas quickly withdrew her hand, staring at Dorothy as if she were a monster, unable to understand how she could withstand the cold while operating her phone.

"Don't you feel cold?"

Frowning, Donas exhaled a breath of hot air and questioned him with suspicion.

Just now, Dorothy was so focused on using her phone that she didn't notice her hands were cold. Suddenly, she was reminded...
Dorothy was shivering from the cold.

The pain spread from the tip of my claws to my wrist!

The pain caused by cold is different from the pain from a fall or collision. The biting cold will spread from the palms to the whole body, giving rise to an unbearable soreness and swelling.

"Wow~"

Dorothy's eyes filled with tears from the pain.

With four little ones around her and herself having to push the machine, Shu Chu noticed that Dorothy's little hands were sore from the cold.

Shu Chu quickly squatted down, anxiously unzipped the down jacket, and stuffed Dorothy's cold little hands into her arms.

The cold wind howled past,

Shu Chu's hair was blown about by the wind.
Her hair was messy and swaying wildly.

Born in the South, I grew up enduring hardship, but now I'm living a good life.

What's a little bit of cold to me?
Ignoring the cold wind as she burrowed into her down jacket, Shu Chu hugged Dorothy tightly, using the warmth of her abdomen to warm her hands.

"hiss!"

Shu Chu shivered as the cold little hand touched her skin, and closed her eyes to keep quiet.

Both Doraemon and Pina are good at protecting themselves.

They wrapped their bodies up like rice dumplings.

The cold wind couldn't get into the down jacket at all.

Dorothy glanced at Shu Chu, then looked at her, and Dorothy immediately wobbled over to hug her and her.

Doro awkwardly but persistently squeezed into Shu Chu's arms.
She nuzzled her head against Shu Chu's shoulder.

It strives to contribute heat to the small group seeking warmth.

Donas wanted to criticize Dorothy for being too unrealistic—

—So what if your hands are cold? When I was in Qingcheng last year, the winter temperature was much lower than it is now, and I didn't complain at all! Seriously, you're so engrossed in playing on your phone, yet you make Sister Shuchu and Duoluo suffer in the cold with you.

I really wanted to complain like that.

But Donas couldn't bring herself to say something so harsh.
It silently moved closer and joined the group.

Due to limited space, Pina didn't join the group, and someone always had to take care of the dumpling-making machine.

Standing to the side,
Pina waited a moment,
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed what appeared to be a general market not far away.

It's a comprehensive market, not a farmers' market, but a large supermarket with a millennial vibe.

Retro neon lights outline an arc shape, and cartoon-style mannequins are placed at the entrance.

There must be a shop selling roasted sweet potatoes there!
Buy a roasted sweet potato to warm your hands, and Shuchu won't have to suffer from the cold!

“Why don’t we keep going? Let’s buy some roasted sweet potatoes to warm our hands and stomachs, and maybe we’ll even find some roasted chestnuts for sale,” Pina suggested, pointing ahead with her gloves on.

in fact,

Dorothy's little hands were only cold from the wind.
It's far from being frostbite.

After warming up and restoring her little hands to their original temperature, Dorothy immediately withdrew her hands and put them in her pockets.

It admits that it has a somewhat spoiled personality.

How can I let Sister Shu Chu warm myself with her body heat?

With her face flushed, Dorothy helped Shu Chu put her down jacket back on, pulling the zipper all the way up.

"I, let's go, let's go buy roasted sweet potatoes."

"My treat!"

Dorothy said in a low voice, blushing.

Shu Chu breathed a sigh of relief, gently stroked Dorothy's head, and helped her put on her hat to protect her from the wind.

As long as the doro don't get cold!

She didn't care about freezing herself.

Moreover, since her health improved, her ability to withstand cold has increased significantly.

Freezing it is a way to remember the bitter past and appreciate the sweet present.

The wind was quite strong, and Shu Chu didn't say much, telling the doro members not to open their mouths and eat the wind.

And so, led by Shu Chu, the four little ones headed straight for the market to buy roasted sweet potatoes, before dawn.

...

At 7:30 p.m., Huang Musong went home on time, knowing that the Doro fans would be watching cartoons at that time.

She tiptoed to the door.
He took out a single key that he had prepared beforehand from his pocket.
Avoid handling keychains as they may make a jingling sound.

"The little ones probably didn't notice..."

Huang Musong thought to himself, then quickly turned the bolt and pushed open the security door, shouting "Ding ding ding ding" as he made his entrance.

I was planning to surprise the Doro fans.

The living room lights were off.
The only sounds in the entire villa were the deep breathing of two garlic-headed toads.

Are the Doro not home?
Go to the second floor and take a look around. There's no doro in the study or bedroom, so there's no doubt they've gone out.

"Tsk!"

"It's so cold, don't run around everywhere and catch a cold."

As Huang Musong descended the stairs, his brow furrowed, deeply worried about the four little ones' well-being.

I went back to the lobby and confirmed that four down jackets were missing.
There are also four pairs of gloves and shoes missing.

Huang Musong felt a little relieved.

The huge villa would feel unusually quiet without the laughter and chatter of the Doro members.

Huang Musong walked to the fish tank and routinely fed the tigerfish and mermaids flower petals. He asked, "Did Doro and the others go out to eat? Did Shu Chu come? I gave her a week off; she came yesterday."

"Ok!"

The little tigerfish was lost in thought, giving a perfunctory reply. Having eaten too much, it was now oblivious to the flower petals and didn't seem to care much about Huang Musong.

"Yes~"

The mermaid was as flirtatious as ever, eating flower petals and throwing seductive glances.

Upon learning that Shu Chu had returned home yesterday, Huang Musong was completely relieved about the Doro kids, trusting that she would take good care of the four little ones for him.

Whoosh...

Slowly exhaling and stretching, Huang Musong lay down on the sofa to rest.

I've been so busy lately!
The physical exertion wasn't too bad, but the mental exhaustion was the main problem; managing a fruit franchise store was too much of a hassle.

But not making money isn't an option.

I still have to pay my mortgage!
Just as he was about to take a nap, his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number calling from an employee of the loan bank.

"Mr. Huang, how have you been feeling lately?"

"Our bank offers free medical checkups. Do you have time...?"

"Beep beep beep"

Too lazy to waste time talking to the bank employee, Huang Musong decisively hung up the phone and spat out a disdainful "Pah!"

TMD!

It's not like I didn't pay on time.

They call me every few days to ask how I'm feeling because they're worried I'm under too much pressure and might contemplate suicide.
Huang Musong understands the bank's concerns.

But this kind of thing is really annoying.

It feels like a curse.

I'm under a lot of pressure and need to release it. Let me think about the little toy Donas bought me (a birthday present)...

Just as Huang Musong decided to take off while no one was home,

There was a knock on the door.
It was Shu Chu who brought the Doro back!
The door opened, and Doraemon, without even taking off his down jacket, ran into the living room carrying a large, warm roasted sweet potato, like a heavy cannonball hurtling towards Huang Musong.

"People~"

"Look what Doraemon brought back for you!"

"It's a piping hot roasted sweet potato!"

"And there's more..."

As he spoke, Doro opened his down jacket and took out a large bag of roasted chestnuts from his pocket.

"It's roasted chestnuts! Wow~, they smell so good, and they're still warm."

"Hey, try one! It tastes best on a cold day!"

"And, candied hawthorn berries, hehe~."

"Which one do you want to eat? Never mind, you can have them all, no need to have trouble choosing..."

Having not seen each other for two days and one night, Duoluo couldn't wait to crawl into Huang Musong's arms for a hug, but first he had to take out all the snacks hidden inside his down jacket. (End of Chapter)
