"By the way, Xiao Chu, one of my comrades said he wants to visit your place to see the dog."
Li Chu looked at Zhang Meng strangely: "I've given away all my dogs, only the big one is left. What does he want to see?"
"Cough," Zhang Meng smiled sheepishly at Ding Qiunan, then pulled Li Chu aside and whispered, "He heard me say you have a lot of dogs, and he wants to see if you can give up one of the big ones."
"Brother Meng, are you kidding me?"
"hey-hey"
"Brother Meng, you know how things were when you took the puppy last time. Our house almost erupted in chaos. Now you want to take away the big dog that grew up with my two kids? What are you thinking?"
“They’re from the police department. They’ve been looking for some good dogs. A few days ago, they came to my house and saw how smart my dog was, so they started looking for the mother and father dogs.”
Zhang Meng was genuinely embarrassed, after all, he was the one who caused this mess.
Li Chu waved his hand: "No way, absolutely no way. Let them give up. At most, we can wait until Xiaobai has another dog and see if we can give them one or two. As for our four dogs now, nobody can help them."
"Didn't you complain last time that you have too many dogs at home?"
"I may complain, but those four dogs are like family to me now. Brother Meng, have you ever seen anyone give away their family members?"
"This..." Zhang Meng was speechless after being rebuked.
"Brother Meng, I'm sorry, you don't need to bring them over. I'm not going to receive them. This is not negotiable."
After saying that, he turned around and went inside.
Well, Zhang Meng could tell that Li Chu was a little unhappy; he was just being cheeky.
I should try to apologize later; I can't let this affect their relationship.
Uncle Wang was sitting on the sofa in the living room talking to Wang Ziwen when he saw Li Chu walk in with a sour face and asked.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to come here?"
"Uncle, you must be joking. How could I not want to come? It's about something else."
Uncle Wang's question made everyone in the room realize that Li Chu's expression was not good.
"Brother, what's wrong? You were fine just now?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I was outside just now, and Meng Ge told me that someone was trying to take advantage of my dog."
"Dogs?" Wang Bing was a little confused. He didn't know that Li Chu kept several dogs at home.
"Ah, back when your sister-in-law and I had just gotten married, we found a dog outside and have been raising it ever since. Now we have four dogs at home."
"Yes, Xiaobing, Xiao Chu's dogs are really well-behaved, obedient and intelligent," Aunt Wang chimed in from the side.
"How come I didn't know you could train dogs?"
"I would never train a dog. That dog is probably a good breed and is naturally intelligent. I have never trained it."
"Hmm, at least you have some self-awareness," Uncle Wang suddenly remarked.
“I know about that. Old Song mentioned it to me before, but I refused. I didn’t expect them to go after Xiao Meng. You don’t need to worry about him. I don’t believe they would dare to use force again.”
After saying this, Uncle Wang raised his voice and called for Zhang Meng, who was still in the yard, to come in.
“Xiao Meng, make it clear to your comrade that I said this: if anyone dares to lay a finger on Xiao Chu’s dog, I’ll skin them alive. If they’re so capable, they can raise it themselves. There are plenty of unwanted dogs out there. Pick one up and train it. It’s ridiculous to expect someone to raise a dog that’s been raised for years.”
Zhang Meng stood there, not daring to say a single unnecessary word, and could only nod and agree repeatedly.
Wang Qi sat on the sofa to the side, quietly watching the people in the room.
Her mind was a complete mess; it was so different from what she knew.
Who exactly is this Li Chu? Wang Bing calls him brother, and he calls Wang Bing's father uncle, but they don't even share the same surname. What's going on here?
Moreover, Wang Bing is almost thirty years old, so why does he still call someone who looks like he's only in his early twenties "brother"?
Just then, she saw Wang Bing's mother and the woman she was supposed to call sister-in-law walk into the kitchen, and the older sister also went in. She quickly stood up, said something to Wang Bing, and then walked towards the kitchen.
Going to the kitchen would definitely mean cooking; she couldn't just sit there doing nothing, especially since there were only a few men left in the living room.
Several men sat in the living room chatting about all sorts of things.
The three children don't need to be taken care of either; Wenhui and Wenxuan take very good care of their little sister.
Around 11 o'clock, Wang Jun and Li Qiaoyun arrived home.
The house was bustling with activity for a while, except for Wang Zhan who was unable to return from the Northwest, everyone was there.
After a lively meal, everyone except Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang moved on to Li Chu's side.
"Wow, bro, you've raised a beautiful dog. I'm envious."
Li Chu went up and slapped Wang Bing on the back of the head.
"I think you're not just envious, you're greedy for food. Don't even think about taking my dog."
"Hahaha……"
His words made everyone laugh.
They seemed more at ease without their elders present.
Li Chu noticed that his niece seemed a bit down all day.
"Jiayuan, come here to me."
Wang Jiayuan, who was looking down and seemingly lost in thought, heard her name called. She looked up and saw that it was her uncle calling her. She then carried a small stool over.
"Tell me, what happened?" Li Chu asked softly.
Jia Yuan is now a fifteen-year-old young lady, and it's no longer appropriate for her to be held on my lap like before.
"Uncle, our school has been closed."
"Yeah, I know, but high schools are closed now, is there a problem with that?"
Jia Yuan looked up at Li Chu: "Uncle, a few days ago, many classmates signed up to go to the countryside to show their skills, respond to the leader's call, and support rural development, but Mom and Dad don't agree to me going."
"They're here, they really are here."
Li Chu muttered to himself.
"Do you really want to go, Jiayuan? Tell me your thoughts."
Jia Yuan turned to look at her mother, her expression somewhat timid.
Seeing this, Li Chu pulled his niece's arm, and the two sat down a little further away from the other people.
"Okay, now tell me. Let's keep our voices down so they can't hear us."
Ding Qiunan glanced at her husband with some curiosity, then turned back to continue chatting.
“Uncle, my classmates all say that now that we've learned something, we should go to the countryside and put our skills to use. But my mom says that life in the countryside is really tough and she won't let me go. My classmates don't want to play with me anymore since I'm not signing up. I don't know what to do now.”
lingdian.
Li Chu smiled slightly and raised his hand to ruffle his niece's hair.
"Jiayuan, put aside your classmates' advice and ignore what your mother says about how hard it is. What do you really think?"
"I..." Jia Yuan blushed slightly, a little embarrassed: "I don't really want to go."
