After lunch, Father Lin was uncharacteristically active in clearing away the dishes and washing the pots and dishes himself.
"What did you do again?" Mother Lin, who knew his personality well, was already on guard.
"Come out, I'll show you something good." Father Lin pulled Mother Lin toward the yard mysteriously.
Lin Qian had already anticipated what would happen to Lin's father, but Lin Xiao didn't know what was going on and followed him to watch the fun.
Father Lin brought the person to the kennel, opened the door, took out Tianlei, and flattered Mother Lin: "Let's get a cat!"
"I'll go! It's it again!" Lin Xiao thought the cat had gone away before, but unexpectedly, it was locked in the kennel by her second uncle.
The second uncle actually wanted to raise it? He ran away quickly.
Mother Lin looked at Father Lin and the thunder in his hand expressionlessly, "No."
"Oh, think about it, look at how beautiful this cat is, how good it is and obedient." Father Lin had already predicted that his wife would not let go easily.
Mother Lin said coldly: "Lin Jianguo, are you three years old? Don't you know Xiaoxiao is afraid of cats? Throw it out quickly!"
Lin Xiao hid in the room and heard him being mentioned outside. She stuck her head out from the door to express her attitude, "Second uncle, I don't have much time at home. I will go to school soon. Second uncle can raise him if he wants."
Right."
Father Lin was caught in a dilemma, and he held Tianlei in his arms to figure out a way to have both sides.
And Tianlei, who was in his arms, was pleading pitifully to Lin Qian in his mind: "Boss, please say a nice word for me! Don't really throw me out!"
Lin Qian just pretended not to hear, and when no one was paying attention, she broke the black dragon meat into small pieces and stuffed it into Rhubarb's mouth.
"How about we keep it in the yard and prevent it from entering the house?" This is what Father Lin came up with.
Is he someone who lets pets sleep in the yard?
When I first raised Rhubarb, I agreed to keep the dog in the yard as a gatekeeper, so I made a kennel for it in the yard.
What’s the result? Which day did Dahuang not sleep at home?
If she agrees, Lin Jianguo will immediately make further progress.
"It's not very good. Get rid of it quickly."
"It would be pitiful to throw it out. There are so many dogs in our village..."
Tianlei saw that no one could count on him, so he had to take action on his own.
It stretched out its front paws and pulled Lin's mother's hand. The soft flesh pads stepped on her arms, and its eyes were even more pitiful.
If it wasn't afraid of exerting too much force, it would have cried on the spot.
This trick is really amazing.
Even though Lin’s mother often said that she was cold-hearted, she still couldn’t harden her heart at this time, “Ahem, I can only keep it in the yard, and I’m not allowed to let it into the house.”
It succeeded.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the village chief came back.
Mu Laoqi's son is also back.
Lin Xiao heard the noise, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and went out, not even caring about the cat in the yard.
Lin Qian didn't remember who Mu Laoqi's son was. Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he might as well go and watch the excitement.
"This is Mr. Mu Henian. In terms of seniority, you have to call him uncle." The village chief introduced in the middle, "This is Mu Laoqi's son. He has been working away from home and only came back for a few days during the Chinese New Year." p>
"Hello." Mu Laoqi's son stretched out his hand first, grabbed Mu Henian's hand and shook it twice, "I heard the village chief tell you about our two families. I apologize to you for what my father did.
."
Judging only from appearance, Mu Laoqi's son is much more straight-looking than Mu Laoqi. He wears a short-sleeved shirt and glasses, and looks like a gentle man.
"There's no need to apologize. How's your dad doing?" Mu Henian was quite polite to him.
"How about we go inside and talk." The village chief wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It's so hot in the summer, standing in the sun."
"Please come in."
As soon as they entered the house, what else was Lin Xiao looking at next door? He had only eaten a few melon seeds in his hand.
"Sister, let's go sit next door."
There were two Murakami people next door, the ones who had helped escort Mu Laoqi to town. Lin Xiao pretended to say hello to them and blended in perfectly.
So the two siblings sat at Mu Henian's house and continued eating melon seeds.
"My dad's situation is a bit complicated," Xiao Lao Qi said. "The doctor couldn't tell anything wrong. He did all the tests he could and found nothing wrong. But my dad obviously looks different.
."
"What specific aspects are different?" Mu Henian also poured tea for Xiao Laoqi and the others.
Lin Xiao, a talkative person, whispered in Lin Qian's ear, "If he says it's because of his skin color, I'll laugh to death."
"My dad's reaction is very slow now. When I talk to him, he ignores eight out of ten sentences. The doctor concluded that he may be mentally affected."
Mu Henian slowly put down his tea cup, "Being struck by lightning will definitely affect his spirit, but looking on the bright side, he is really lucky."
"Yes, yes." Xiao Laoqi said, "That's what I told my mother. People are lucky to be alive."
"You, a young man, are more open-minded than your parents." Mu Henian deliberately blocked him with words.
"Uh... this..." Xiao Laoqi kept looking at the village chief, "This time I really want to thank the people in the village for sending my dad to the hospital in time.
I know that many people in the village are annoyed by my dad’s temper, but I didn’t expect that everyone would be willing to help him when he encounters trouble this time.”
Little Lao Qi stood up and bowed to the village chief and the two helpers, "Thank you all very much."
"Thank you." The person who borrowed the tricycle crossed his legs and waved his hand, "I'm just helping you, don't mention me."
"I'm coming back this time. To be honest, I can't open my mouth." Xiao Laoqi's eyes were red, "But I really have no choice. The hospital still owes money...
Uncles also know that I just bought a house in the city, I still have a loan, and my children are in school. I really can’t afford the money for a while."
As he spoke, his mood changed. The person who had crossed his legs before and rubbed Lin Xiao's melon seeds immediately lowered his legs.
Good guy, waiting here.
"Well, my tricycle has no power at all. I have to go back and charge it quickly, otherwise the battery will be damaged." After saying that, he ran away.
Lin Xiao, who was sitting on the same bench as him, almost fell off the stool with his head tilted up.
The other person also hurriedly left on the pretext of having something to do at home.
The village chief also wanted to leave, but he was not in a good position and was blocked by Xiao Laoqi.
"Village Chief." Little Lao Qi turned to Mu Henian again, "Uncle, I shamelessly ask you to borrow some money for turnover. When I have it on hand, I will return it to you immediately."
"My child, it's not like I, the elder, won't lend it to you." The village chief said, "You also know that if we stay in the village, how can we make any money throughout the year? There is really no money left."
Xiao Laoqi's target was not the village chief in the first place. He was optimistic about Mu Henian.
The village chief couldn't bear to look at such a direct look.
