Xiao Yichen nodded: "We know that."
After saying this, Xiao Aimin seemed to feel a sense of relief.
He then filled his own container with tobacco.
It was lit again.
Take a sip.
"After your mother and I got married, we didn't have children for quite a while."
Having said that, there's nothing more I can't say.
"Someone advised me to adopt a girl and name her Yindi, hoping to attract a son."
Your mother and I are not happy about it. We think, this dog meat can't be stuck to the donkey. It's not our own, so it's not close to us no matter what.
Why make so much trouble?
Your mother and I were young back then. We had plenty of time; we could always have our own children.
Xiao Aimin lowered his head and smoked.
After babbling for a while, he finally spoke.
"One year on the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed heavily. The snow was almost thigh-deep. It also got dark early."
Those were turbulent times; the Japanese devils would come and burn and loot from time to time.
The white dog didn't kill many people; he just robbed things, taking whatever he could find.
So every household closed and locked their doors early in the morning.
Our area is a bit better off; it's close to the mountains, so if there's any disturbance, we just hide in the mountains. Of course, we're also poor, so they don't come as often.
He took two more puffs before continuing.
"I've gone off on a tangent. That day, it was just getting dark when I heard a baby crying outside."
"It's late at night, the wind is howling, and if you add a little baby crying, it's kind of creepy."
Your mother and I heard the noise, and neither of us dared to go out.
We have a lot of stories about spirits and monsters here, and we heard a lot of them when we were kids.
Later, the sound grew fainter and fainter, and we were afraid that if it really was a child, it would freeze to death.
I was thinking that maybe someone knew that your mother and I didn't have children, so they asked us to raise the child.
We only dared to come out after we were sure there was no one around.
Then I saw your older brother, back when he wasn't even a cat yet.
At this point, Xiao Aimin wiped away his tears.
Xiao Yichen quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to his father.
Then Xiao Aimin took it, first wiping his face haphazardly, then pinching his nose hard.
He then handed it to his son.
Xiao Yichen tried his best not to show any disgust: "Dad, it's for you."
Anyway, he won't use it anymore.
Xiao Aimin glared at his son and said, "You look down on your old man, don't you?!"
Xiao Yichen chuckled and said, "How could that be? And then you adopted my older brother?"
Quickly try to distract your dad.
Xiao Aimin continued wiping his nose: "How could that be!"
