The military dogs at the commendation ceremony looked particularly impressive. After seeing them, An An liked them very much and wanted to raise one too.

But I heard that military dogs are used to solve cases and catch criminals. He is not a soldier, so can he keep one?

"Just for this?" Gu Weicheng looked at his son who was looking forward to it and gave him a positive answer.

"If you want to keep one, I'll take you to adopt one tomorrow. But you can only adopt puppies that haven't been trained yet. The adult dog troop is useful."

"Yeah, that's great, long live Dad!" An An laughed immediately.

"Don't be too happy too soon. You still have to ask your mother if she agrees with you keeping a dog. If your mother is afraid of dogs and doesn't allow you to keep one, then you can't keep one." Gu Weicheng reminded.

An An immediately looked at Li Xia. Facing An An's expectant eyes, Li Xia said, "I'm not afraid of dogs, I'm only afraid of snakes. As long as you don't suddenly want to raise snakes at home, I have no objection."

"Long live Mom too!" said An An.

After saying that, his appetite whetted and he started eating with his bowl.

The next day was a rest day, and the family of three went to the military dog ​​breeding base together.

When dog trainer Xiao Tie learned that Captain Gu's family wanted to raise a military dog, he introduced them to several dogs with the highest overall qualities.

"This is just a Rottweiler, this is a Malinois, this is a Kunming dog, and this is a Labrador. Labrador is the most docile of all military dogs.

These dogs were the first batch that were eliminated in the last assessment. They are similar to the dogs that can be used as military dogs, but only a fixed number of dogs are selected in each assessment, so these dogs are eliminated. "Xiao Tie introduced.

"An An, take a look at which one you like." Gu Weicheng gave An An the chance to make the decision.

Each of these puppies is very energetic and smart. They know that An An has to choose and they can express themselves.

An An looked at this one and then that one, feeling a little bit troubled, and really couldn't choose...

At this moment, his attention was attracted by an adult military dog ​​guarding the door, and he asked Xiao Tie, "Uncle, what breed of dog is that?"

"That's a German Shepherd. It used to be a military dog, but it was injured in a battle with its owner and lost one of its eyes."

"His master died, and he was sent back here. After arriving here, he would wait at the door every day for his master to pick him up. Unfortunately... he can no longer wait."

Having said that, Xiaotie sighed heavily.

An An's eyes turned red as he heard this. He remembered the story about the military dog ​​in the bedtime story that Li Xia told him.

After the death of its master, the military dog ​​Jifeng stayed by his grave until it gradually died...

"Dad, I want to raise it, can I?" An An pulled the corner of Gu Weicheng's clothes.

Xiao Tie said, "But Ji Feng is already twelve years old this year. The life span of a German Shepherd is only ten to fourteen years old. Even if we bring him back, he may..."

Xiao Tie didn't say the rest, but asked: "Are you sure you want to adopt it?"

What a coincidence, it is also called Gale.

"Yeah!" An An nodded vigorously, "I'm sure!"

"Well, but it depends on whether it is willing to recognize you as its owner." Xiao Tie said.

An An walked to Ji Feng, reached out and touched its fur, and asked, "Ji Feng, are you willing to go home with me?"

Jifeng looked into the distance, as if it knew that its master would never come back.

He looked at An An in front of him again. His eyes stared at An An for a long time, as if he was thinking about this question.

Suddenly it wagged its tail and circled around An An.

Xiao Tie said: "It agrees."

"That's great, Jifeng! From now on, I will be your new master, and I will treat you well!" An An said happily.

He raised his hand and asked Ji Feng: "Ji Feng, can I touch you?"

Ji Feng took the initiative to stretch his head to An An's hand and rubbed it. An An was very happy and reached out to touch him gently: "Ji Feng, can we go home?"

Ji Feng wagged his tail again and followed An An.

When An An runs, it follows him. When An An stops, it stops beside An An.

"It's a good dog that understands human nature, but it's a pity that it's too old. An An likes it so much, I'm afraid she won't be able to accept its departure when the time comes." Gu Weicheng looked at An An's excitement with worry in his eyes.

Li Xia could understand Gu Weicheng's worries.

After living together for a long time, he would treat Jifeng as a family member, but Jifeng’s life span is not long.

An An will definitely not be able to bear its departure.

But she still said: "Everyone has to learn to grow up. Even if we are parents, we can't accompany An An for a lifetime."

"An An likes Ji Feng, and Ji Feng has also recognized An An as his master. We should respect An An's choice. If that day really comes, An An will have to learn to accept it. Just treat it as his first lesson about 'life'."

Gu Weicheng couldn't help laughing when listening to Li Xia's words.

His wife is really suitable to be a political commissar.

Her words always make sense and are thought-provoking.

"Wife, everything you said is good and correct." Gu Weicheng reached out to Li Xia and held her hand. "Let's go home."

Li Xia was stunned for a moment. Gu Weicheng always paid attention to his "influence" when he was outside and was embarrassed to be too intimate with her in front of others, but now he took the initiative to hold her hand in front of the dog trainer.

In fact, it was Li Xia’s words just now that touched Gu Weicheng deeply.

Whenever he thought about the possibility of being separated from Li Xia in the future, he hoped that they could be together longer and longer.

"Well, let's go home." Li Xia raised the corner of her mouth, her expression gentle and calm.

When they got home, the family prepared food first.

Li Xia also prepared a portion for Ji Feng and took out a large bowl to use as Ji Feng's rice bowl.

While eating, An An asked Ji Feng: "Ji Feng, is it delicious? My mother's cooking skills are very good."

Jifeng can't talk, but from the way it wags its tail while eating, it's obvious that it likes Li Xia's cooking.

"What your dog eats is better than what people eat." Mrs. Tao couldn't help but joked after seeing it.

Mrs. Tao knew that they were going to choose a military dog ​​today, but she was surprised when she saw Ji Feng: "Why did you choose this one? It looks quite old."

She felt that if converted into adult age, it would probably be older than her.

Li Xia did not deny it, but just said: "An An likes it, so she picked this one. It's quite smart and clever."

An An said beside him: "Ji Feng is not an ordinary military dog, he is a hero dog!"

On the first day when the new member Jifeng came home, An An, who was afraid of sleeping alone before, actually took the initiative to ask for a separate bed.

"Are you sure you want to sleep alone in the small room?" Li Xia asked An An again before going to bed.

"Well, Mom, I've grown up, and I have Ji Feng protecting me, so I'm not afraid at all." An An said, patting his chest.

Wow, is this still her son An An?

They had shared beds with An An twice before, and the first time was suggested by Gu Weicheng.

That night, Li Xia stayed with An An in the small room until he fell asleep. As soon as Li Xia returned to her room, An An followed her immediately as if he had installed radar on her.

Li Xia: “…”

The second time they slept in separate beds was when An An was just in elementary school.

Li Xia said that he was already in elementary school and had become a little man. He could no longer sleep in the same bed with his parents and had to sleep separately.

An An agreed, but only lasted until the first half of the night. In the second half of the night, he came running over and knocked on the door, saying that he was scared to be alone.

So Li Xia decided to wait until An An was a little older before bringing up the idea of ​​having separate beds.

I didn't expect that today, he would take the initiative to suggest sleeping in separate beds!

"Okay, then mom will turn off the lights and you can go to bed early." Li Xia turned off the lights and went back to her room.

She was afraid that An An would get scared again soon, so she went to bed later on purpose. But An An didn't come over until she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep.

The next day, An An got up and put on her clothes by herself.

When Li Xia got up, An An was already playing with Ji Feng in the yard.

Li Xia looked at the man and the dog playing happily in the yard, and said to Gu Weicheng, "It seems that Ji Feng was raised right. An An looks like he has grown a year older after only one day."

In response to this, Gu Weicheng said that if he had known that adopting a military dog ​​would allow An An to sleep alone, he would have adopted one long ago.
