Leaving aside the matters discussed with the Lou family, Li Chu and Ding Qiunan got busy as soon as they returned home.
No one bothered them today, and Ding Qiunan didn't wait for her husband to urge her again; she put on the cheongsam on her own initiative.
Good heavens, Li Chu's eyes widened. He thought the two cheongsams were the same, but he didn't expect that the slit on the side of this cheongsam was a little higher than the other one.
The barbecue wasn't ready yet, and he was thinking of quitting and just taking his wife Nan right there and then.
Ding Qiunan managed to calm them down, and they insisted on finishing their meal, even drinking some beer together.
After finishing a bottle of beer, Ding Qiunan, who never drinks, was already slightly tipsy. As a result, the cheongsam she had worked so hard to make for several days was completely destroyed.
Two cheongsams sparked two major battles, and both resulted in the same situation: being unable to get out of bed the next morning.
In the early morning, Li Chu held his wife, whose body was sore and weak, and fed her breakfast before letting her continue sleeping. As for going to work? Forget about it today; he would help her ask for leave later.
He lowered his head and kissed his wife's forehead: "Go to sleep, darling. I'll bring the food back for lunch."
Ding Qiunan rolled her eyes at her husband. This guy was a bad seed. He had slept all night and was a little better in the morning. He should have been able to go to work without any problems.
As a result, this guy insisted on dragging her to do morning exercise again, and now she's too lazy to even move a finger.
Ignoring her husband, she wrapped herself in the towel and fell into a deep sleep again.
Li Chu quickly put the bowl aside, bent down to pick up the pieces of cloth scattered everywhere, and as he held them in his hands, he couldn't help but think of his wife wearing a cheongsam last night. His heart warmed, and he almost turned around and jumped onto the bed again.
No, I absolutely can't think about it anymore. I quickly grabbed the bowl and left the bedroom, making sure to close the door behind me.
After quickly washing and tidying up the breakfast dishes, I realized I still had some time to spare, so I played with the dogs in the yard.
Little Black has grown up now, and looks even more imposing than when he was little. His fur is glossy black, like satin.
Xiao Huang seems to be nearing the end of his life, and now he can only eat liquid food every day.
Li Chu knew that this was due to old age and the organs in his body were beginning to fail, but he didn't know how much longer it could last.
With tenderness, I stroked its head. Little Yellow stuck out its tongue and licked its owner's hand, then rubbed its head against it. A tear rolled down its cloudy eyes.
Sighing inwardly, he truly didn't want to raise dogs anymore. Over the years, he had given away and buried many, but every time he saw a dog he had raised from a puppy dying, his heart ached terribly.
The other dogs seemed to know that Little Yellow was dying, and they quietly lay down beside its bed.
Looking at his watch, Li Chu realized it was time to leave. He patted Xiao Huang's head a few more times and stood up.
She slung the handbag she had already taken out over her shoulder and turned to walk towards the front door.
Little Yellow, who had been lying in its nest, struggled to its feet, its legs visibly trembling.
Little Yellow let out a soft bark as its owner walked away, as if saying goodbye.
With that one cry, it seemed to have used up all its strength, and it lay down again.
Li Chu, who had already reached the porch leading to the front yard, stopped when he heard Xiao Huang's call. He didn't dare to look back; he had a routine inspection to do today, and he was afraid that if he turned around, he wouldn't want to leave.
He took a step and disappeared into the connecting corridor.
Seeing this, Xiao Hei chased after its owner and ran towards the front yard.
Li Chu opened the door and bent down to pat Xiao Hei, who had already run over: "When I go out in a bit, lock the door."
After saying that, he went out and closed the door. He heard Xiao Hei bark inside, so he pushed the door but couldn't open it. Xiao Hei had already locked the bolt.
The jeep had already stopped at the entrance of the alley. He greeted a few neighbors who were also getting ready to go to work, opened the car door, and got in.
The neighbors watched the jeep drive away with envy.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Li Chu first went to the medical affairs office to ask Ding Qiunan for a day off, and then informed her that he was going out for a routine check-up that day.
Lunch was bought at the sanatorium. He carried a lunchbox borrowed from the canteen and asked Xiaotian to take him home.
At the door, Ding Qiunan, who had opened the door for him, threw herself into his arms and cried, "Li Chu, Xiao Huang... Xiao Huang is gone too."
Just now at 11 o'clock, Ding Qiunan finally woke up, got up, washed up and changed her clothes. She originally planned to go to the other side of the yard to see her parents, but when she got to the yard, she felt that something was wrong.
After looking around, I realized that all the dogs were gone.
She called out "Stinky Ball!" and then heard a dog barking in response from the backyard.
When she arrived at the back garden, she found that the dogs were all in the northeast corner.
Ding Qiunan knew what was in that place, of course. Her heart sank. In addition, she didn't see Xiao Huang, who was unable to walk, in the yard earlier. She knew that Xiao Huang must have left as well.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she quickly walked over.
Stinky Ball, Little Black, Great Sage, Pigsy, and White Hair were all lying on the ground, looking at Little Yellow, who was lying motionless under the tree.
Upon seeing the woman approaching, the dogs barked in unison.
Ding Qiunan squatted down and looked at Xiao Huang, tears streaming down her face.
After a while, she stood up and took out a wooden box that had been prepared beforehand from a small wooden house not far away. This box was to be used as a coffin.
She put Little Yellow into the box, then turned around and went into the wooden house to take out a hammer and a few nails, and fixed the lid of the box.
Then, taking a shovel, he started digging in the empty space in the corner.
While she was digging, she heard the Great Sage barking and biting her trouser leg, pulling at her.
I glanced down at my watch; it was already past midnight. Li Chu must be back; he's ringing the doorbell.
He dropped the shovel and hurriedly ran forward.
When she opened the door, it was indeed him who had returned. Ding Qiunan could no longer contain her grief and threw herself into his arms, bursting into tears.
Li Chu had a premonition when he left in the morning. When he heard his wife crying and saying that Xiao Huang was gone, he couldn't suppress his sadness.
He picked up Ding Qiunan with one hand, closed the door with his foot, and had Bajie, who had followed him, bolt the door.
He carried the lunchbox in one hand and his wife in the other, walked to the middle courtyard, and placed the lunchbox on the stone table.
Ding Qiunan cried for a long time before she slowly stopped. She got off her husband and took the bag off his back.
"I've already put Little Yellow in the box. The hole is half dug. Go take a look. I'll heat up some food for us."
