Chapter 746 Brother, I will stick with you through thick and thin this time. "More than excellent."
Zhao Rui slapped his thigh and got to the point. "You don't know how hard it was for him to get first place. When we were reading, he was busy with other things. When we were sleeping, he might have been coaxing the kids. Even so, he still managed to get first place. What's wrong with his brain?"
Zhao Wanqing's smile froze for a moment, thinking she had misheard: "Coax... coax what?"
"To comfort the baby!" Zhao Rui blinked his eyes, with a surprised expression as if to say "You didn't know this?"
"Those twins, Xiaoyuer and Xiaoshitou, are so adorable, chubby, and incredibly clever. Qingyang is a super dad. He spends all his free time with them, changing their diapers, feeding them, and even drawing with them. He's an expert at everything! They're much better than us clumsy kids."
Zhao Wanqing's face turned from sunny to cloudy, and then from cloudy to pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. She put down the book and said in a tense voice:
"He...he has a child? He looks...quite young."
"You're young, you can't help but move fast."
Zhao Rui seemed oblivious to his cousin's expression as he continued to add to the story, his tone full of admiration: "Not only do they have children, but your beloved daughter is also beautiful and capable, and she's also a student at a medical university. Alas, they're truly a model family, the envy of others."
With every word he spoke, Zhao Wanqing's face turned paler.
Zhao Rui felt the time was right, and his expression became a little more serious. "Sister, let me tell you, Qingyang is really excellent, but his heart has long been filled to the brim with his small family, like an iron barrel, airtight. No matter how many outstanding patriots there are outside, they can't get through. You... well, you should focus on more promising revolutionary patriots."
Zhao Wanqing lowered her head and didn't say anything for a while, but her ears slowly turned red, the kind of red that comes from someone's real problem being said and feeling extremely embarrassed.
All her previous beautiful thoughts were shattered in the face of heavy facts.
She slammed the book shut, stood up, and said in a stern tone, "I... I have something else to do in the library, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, they fled in panic.
Zhao Rui looked at his cousin's hurried back, touched his nose, and felt relieved, but he knew that he had offended his cousin.
He shrugged and muttered to himself, "Okay, mission accomplished. Qingyang, oh Qingyang, brother, I'm really willing to go through fire and water for you this time. I'll make sure you treat me to a good meal later, at least on the level of 'Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate'."
…
At this moment, Lu Qingyang was still happy about his good test results, and then Ma Hongxia hurried to find him.
"Oh no, Qingyang, we've been robbed."
"What? Were you robbed?"
Although Liu Dong and Ma Hongxia discovered the incident in time and prevented the thief from succeeding, it was enough to serve as a warning to Lu Qingyang.
This business is so prosperous that it not only attracts diners, but also flies and rats who are thinking about getting something for nothing.
Ma Hongxia and Liu Dong lived in a small hut in the backyard, which was considered a line of defense, but they couldn't really let them stay up all night as patrolmen.
Lu Qingyang was thinking, it's time to ask for the "four-legged security specialist".
His mind raced, and he thought of the energetic Mantou who was always chasing chickens and rabbits in the space.
Mantou is a king-like existence in the space, with a vast space for it to roam freely.
In comparison, although the backyard of Xinweiju is not small, in Mantou's eyes, it is probably just like a slightly larger cage.
That night, after closing the shop, Lu Qingyang quietly took the steamed buns out of the space.
Mantou was a little confused when he first arrived.
With its wet nose raised, it carefully sniffed this new territory filled with complex food aromas and unfamiliar smells. Its eyes, which seemed particularly clear in the moonlight, showed a bit of scrutiny and a hint of disgust.
It took steady, unhurried steps, strolling twice around the base of the wall. Finally, it found a dry, sheltered corner near the door leading to the back alley. It slowly lay down, its mouth resting on its front paws, and a gurgling sound emanated from its throat, as if to say, "Alright, since we're here, we might as well make the best of it. Let's just make do with it for now."
At dawn on the 1st, Ma Hongxia yawned as she opened the door and nearly stumbled over a pile of furry steamed buns at the door.
Looking closely, 놆 Mantou was sitting there upright, like a door god doing his duty.
"Hey, this guy, why does he look so much like the one you raised in the countryside, Qingyang?"
Ma Hongxia patted her chest, then smiled and reached out to touch its big head.
Mantou was very friendly to 그, whom he knew, and even rubbed her hand with his big head in a flattering way.
"Didn't you say we were robbed? I found a dog that looks just like Mantou to guard our house. His name is Mantou."
"Well, I just call it easier."
Since then, the backyard of Xinweiju has officially adopted the "Mantou Security System".
Bai 꽭 usually nestles by the back door of the kitchen, taking advantage of the heat coming through the crack in the door to take a nap, squinting its eyes, with a lazy look that says, "I'm here to help you watch the door."
But once a strange face or unfamiliar voice tries to approach the backyard, it immediately pricks up its legs, turns its ears like radar towards the source of the sound, and makes a low, warning "wool" sound from its throat. The momentum is enough to make the average thief nervous.
Its real working time is at night, its ears catching any subtle noises other than the sound of wind and insects. From time to time, it gets up and patrols the yard with steady steps, its figure stretched out in the moonlight.
At first, it did miss the freedom of rolling around in the space, and occasionally stared at the empty space in the four corners for a while.
But it soon discovered the benefits of its new job. Master Chen would always accidentally drop a few unseasoned meat bones, Ma Hongxia would always fill its water bowl, and even Xiaohua would sometimes secretly give it some delicious food.
