That little dog hole is usually tightly covered by dead vines.
The iron pillar from the No. 8 courtyard next door suddenly came over from the other end, and its head landed right next to Jiang Ningning's feet, scaring her so much that her heart rate was off balance.
The little face turned pale.
“Woof woof!”
The accident happened in an instant. Sensing that its master was in danger, the black panther grinned, arched its body and prepared to pounce.
Fortunately, Huo Donglin was quick-witted and held it tightly with both hands.
Both the man and the dog rolled onto the ground.
Seeing this, Tiezhu grinned and chuckled.
This kid is really careless. If he had moved Huo Donglin a little slower just now, the black panther would have probably bitten his head.
"Mother!"
"Mom, are you okay?"
The little kids rushed forward to surround Jiang Ningning, nervously checking if she was injured, tears streaming down their faces.
Huo Donglin: "..."
He lowered his eyes to look at his scratched palm, pursed his thin lips, and stood up from the bed in silence.
The dog hole was very small, and if the child's head got stuck, it might cause suffocation. He had better go and inform Mrs. Lin Jun next door.
After a while, there was a noise of chaos coming from the yard.
Huo Donglin didn't look very well when he came back.
He looks too fierce, and when he has a stern face, it says "keep away from me" all over his body.
When Tian Cuifen and others saw this, they stayed away from them and did not dare to come forward even though they were curious.
"What happened?"
Seeing that something was wrong with him, Jiang Ningning's heart skipped a beat and she put her hand in his palm.
Pulling him into the bedroom, the couple sat facing each other.
The little hands were warm and soft, kneading gently, and Huo Donglin's cold expression gradually melted like spring snow.
When he spoke, there was a faint smile in his eyes, and he was no longer so angry.
"Mrs. Lin's husband is Chen Feng," he said.
Jiang Ningning's heart was filled with alarm, "No wonder..."
"The other party is always mysterious, leaving early and returning late, and it seems that no one in the family compound has seen him."
The person who moved next door to them must have had some bad intentions.
"Could that dog hole have been dug by Chen Feng?"
Huo Donglin felt that his wife's anti-reconnaissance ability was particularly strong, and he felt a little proud. "No, I checked the dog hole specifically. The wood marks on the edge are very old. It has been dug for at least half a year. Chen Feng has done all kinds of bad things as a lackey, but he is not so shameless. He is a bit hypocritical."
"Even if he has no bottom line, we don't have to be afraid, we have Black Panther!" Jiang Ningning felt that the man was right to bring Black Panther back on a whim.
With Black Panther around, there is no need to worry about Chen Feng doing something secretly.
But...
"Even if he intends to avoid us, Tiezhu is his son. How can he abandon his own son when he is sick?"
The kid always has a low-grade fever, and it comes back over and over again. His father isn't afraid that his son's brain will be damaged.
"And there's Lin Jun's wife. She took first place in the written test and is 90 percent sure to get into the Propaganda Department. But her husband, Chen Feng, has a connection with the Guan family."
Jiang Ningning's brows furrowed for a moment, but before Huo Donglin could comfort her, they quickly relaxed: "Mr. Xue must know all these things. Why should a small person like me worry about them? Let's go out for dinner."
Her emotions come and go quickly.
Huo Donglin felt that Yu Bi, who played no role at all, had a sweet but also a little regretful heart.
After the dog hole incident, Jiang Ningning specifically told the two girls not to get too close to Tiezhu in the future.
Children are innocent, but adults have complicated minds. What if they have bad intentions one day?
"Nail the dog hole with wooden boards and build a chicken coop. Eggs two or three eggs a day will be just enough to nourish the children." Cai Jinhua suggested.
"Dongli, find some wood planks. You all can go to the commendation meeting tomorrow to join in the fun. I'll stay here to do the work."
Hearing this, Tian Cuifen felt a strong sense of crisis. Ahhh, she is so angry. This scheming girl wants to earn the show alone.
"I'll do the laundry, mop the floor, and cook for you tomorrow." She was unwilling to be left behind.
Her voice was so loud and urgent that everyone looked at her.
Cai Jinhua smiled meaningfully.
Since it was a matter of face, how could Tian Cuifen admit that she was afraid of being compared to others? She suddenly had an idea, "Mom's mind is not very clear. What if she goes crazy during the commendation?"
"Mom, then you should stay at home." Huo Chunfang didn't want her mother to go out and embarrass herself.
Tian Cuifen then remembered that she had originally planned to keep a close eye on her little daughter tomorrow, but dealing with Cai Jinhua was more important at the moment.
However, she still felt that the outstanding and handsome military comrade who was comparable to Huo Donglin seemed unreliable, and she lectured her little daughter at night.
Huo Chunfang looked impatient and responded with "hmm" and "ah" perfunctorily.
-
The weather was fine during the commendation ceremony, with clear blue skies and no clouds.
Huo Donglin was wearing a traditional blue and white military uniform with double yellow lines on the cuffs, a wide-brimmed hat, a brown leather belt with a copper head around his waist, and black three-jointed leather shoes.
There were so many medals that he could hardly hang them on his left chest, all neatly arranged.
He has dark eyebrows and a handsome and three-dimensional face.
With his superhuman height and broad shoulders, he is like a walking hormone.
Tian Cuifen felt like there was something stuck in her throat. She widened her eyes and looked at her eldest son for the first time.
The more outstanding the eldest son is, the more it proves how ridiculous I was in the past.
But Huo Donglin was no longer the child who was waiting for his parents' praise. He strode past her and walked to his real family.
The tall figure blocks out a large part of the skylight.
Jiang Ningning's face turned red at his handsomeness and she felt like she could hardly walk.
Once a man puts on a uniform, he becomes more aggressive and has a completely different flavor.
"Wow!"
Her son's sudden voice pulled her out of the blushing and heart-pounding atmosphere.
Manman pinched his father's explosive thigh muscles and exclaimed: "Dad, you look so handsome today. I want to do morning jogging training with you in the future."
When he is well trained, he will be the one to protect Mom, and Dad will never get close to Mom again.
Huo Donglin had no idea that his son had so many little thoughts. Together with Xia Xia, he bent down and picked up the two kids.
The muscles in his forearms bulged like taut cables, and his military uniforms were tied tightly.
Jiang Ningning avoided his eyes and dared not look again.
He fetched a big bone from the kitchen and fed it to the black panther, then raised his hand and stroked its head. "Take good care of the house. I'll take you out for a walk when I come back."
The black panther seemed to understand and slowly walked to the gate with the big bone in its mouth, sat down with its head held high and its tail swaying left and right behind it.
Passersby suddenly saw a big wolfhound and kept their distance from it, no longer curiously looking into Yard No. 7.
The black panther raised his head higher.
The spirit is majestic and awe-inspiring.
"Mom, can you let me feed the black panther this time?" No little boy doesn't like big dogs, and Manman is no exception.
He could even imagine himself walking in the staff housing estate with Black Panther in his hand, with other children looking at him with envy.
"Okay." Jiang Ningning agreed readily.
With her watching over him, Black Panther behaved as well as a kitten.
"If surveillance could be installed, my home would be safer." Unfortunately, electronic surveillance was not gradually introduced until the 1980s, and it was expensive.
Jiang Ningning misses the future life with all kinds of high technologies.
"Mom, is it difficult to install surveillance?" Xia Xia raised her little head and looked at her with her big round eyes.
"Well, our country currently has no independent production capacity and has to rely on imports. So Xia Xia needs to grow up quickly and develop new technologies."
Xia Xia frowned seriously and said, "Mom, I will."
Great-grandma said that my mother’s birthday is the eighth day of the third lunar month, and that if I make her a birthday present, my mother will definitely be very happy.
The two dumplings started biting their ears again.
