The girl raised her head, her glasses widened. She was stunned and surprised at first, and then panicked: "Why are you..."
"Hello, I'm your new neighbor. I live next door to you."
Xia Xu winked at her and stretched out his hand as if to shake hands.
As for the girl in the white dress, the one who can make Xia Xu so intimate and familiar with her cannot be anyone else, it is undoubtedly Xiao Baihua.
"Neighbor...neighbor?"
Tang Youxin's little mind seemed to have not yet reacted to the huge amount of information, or in other words, to the complex mood swings and impact of thoughts.
"Yeah, so, for the sake of my neighbors, can I buy those two special buns?"
Xia Xu pointed at the two strange-shaped buns with a teasing smile.
He went to the consulting company less often on weekends, but every time he went there, Xiaobaihua would always take out two weird-looking buns, so there was no need to ask who they were for.
"No, this is my own breakfast."
Tang Youxin turned her head shyly.
"What's wrong? You're picky when selling things to others."
Probably hearing the noise here and thinking that there was a dispute, the middle-aged man in the back of the store limped over.
"Dad, it's not...it's just..."
Tang Youxin hurriedly helped the lame middle-aged man, then hesitated and tried to explain.
"I'm sorry, uncle, I was just kidding. I just moved here next door. Please take care of me in the future."
"Hahaha, no problem. If you don't take care of me, we will all be neighbors from now on. I hope you will take more care of my business here, little brother."
Although the middle-aged man is lame, he does not have the gloom and melancholy that a disabled patient may have, and instead appears to be very cheerful.
"I'm sure, from now on I will leave all my breakfast to you, uncle."
Xia Xu nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face and said, "By the way, my name is Xia Xu. What's your surname, uncle?"
"Haha, what is your surname? My surname is Tang, Tang Zhan. You can call me Uncle Tang or Brother Tang or Old Tang."
The lame man waved his hand, still smiling heartily.
"Then let me call you Uncle Tang. I don't dare to call you those other names."
Xia Xu also laughed.
"If you don't dare, we'll just be friends for the rest of the year."
Tang Zhan laughed.
"No, no, no, that won't work. I have to call you Uncle Tang. Uncle Tang, you can call me Xiao Xia or Xiao Xu from now on. The seniority cannot be messed up."
Xia Xu waved his hands repeatedly, especially when he inadvertently glanced at Xiao Baihua, who was staring at him with her swollen cheeks, as if he would kill someone if he dared to agree, and shook his head like a rattle.
"Okay, if you want to call me uncle, you can call me uncle. It's up to you."
Tang Zhan didn't care about this, and after speaking, he introduced: "This is my daughter, Tang Youxin. I think you two should be about the same age?"
"Well, it should be about the same."
Xia Xu nodded in agreement with a smile.
"Haha, the young man is not bad. He looks very talented and speaks and acts in an elegant manner. Unlike this girl in my family, who has never been born in the world and doesn't even dare to say hello to outsiders when she meets him."
Tang Zhan said with a smile, praising and derogating in one sentence.
"Can't get out of the world" is a dialect here in Star City. It roughly means that a person is introverted and not good at socializing, and can't do anything. It is usually used by the elders to blame the younger ones. In rare cases, it can also be used to express self-effacement.
An ancient person called his son a dog, which is a similar concept.
Hearing this, Xia Xu retorted with a smile: "Uncle Tang, what you said is wrong. Only men can't be famous. Girls should be quiet and quiet. I don't know how popular they are."
"If you say something black is white, you might make her tail fly up to the sky."
There is no parent who doesn't like others to praise their children. After hearing Xia Xu's retort, Tang Zhan's favor increased greatly. The most obvious manifestation was that his laughter became more hearty.
While talking, Tang Zhan seemed to notice Atuo at Xia Xu's feet, and said in surprise: "Hey, is this your dog?"
"Yes, it's called Atuo."
Xia Xu touched Atuo with his feet: "Atuo, say hello."
"Woof."
Atuo was obviously mistaken. He walked around the stove and ran to Tang Youxin, wagging his tail enthusiastically.
"Haha, Uncle Tang, you see, even Atuo likes your daughter better."
Xia Xu, who was almost betrayed by Gou Zi, looked stiff. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and had an idea and started to fool around.
"How can dogs be the same as humans?"
Tang Zhan obviously didn't notice Xia Xu's stiffness at that moment. He laughed dumbly and squatted down to touch A Tuo. Then he suddenly said in shock: "Sure enough, Xiao Xia, you have raised a magical dog."
Ah, I'm afraid the dog king is not that strong."
"Uncle Tang, do you still know how to look after dogs?"
Xia Xu was also a little surprised when he heard this.
"I used to work in the dog unit, but it's all old news."
Tang Zhan shook his head and smiled, but the smile was much weaker, and said: "This dog of yours should be a mixed-breed Kunming dog, and its appearance is not ordinary, especially with its solid muscles. No matter how talented you are, you don't know how to do it."
I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep it up even if I train all day long.”
"Uncle Tang has a good eye."
Xia Xu gave a thumbs up without hesitation: "Atuo is actually a retired police dog that I bought specially."
"Elimination? Can this kind of dog be eliminated? Who is so wasteful? If it can be eliminated, then what does it mean to be qualified?"
Tang Zhan became anxious when he heard this, as if he was the one who missed the divine dog. His frustration and thumping of his chest were palpable.
"Atuo's physical condition was actually very bad at the beginning. I used a unique secret recipe to treat Atuo well. Otherwise, Atuo's physical condition would be much weaker than other trained dogs."
Xia Xu quickly explained.
"That's pretty much it. So Xiaoxia, you've made a big mistake. I haven't seen a stronger dog than this dog in so many years."
Tang Zhan's expression softened slightly after hearing Xia Xu's explanation, and he said curiously: "What kind of unique secret recipe do you have... Forget it, I'm talking too much. Since I already said it's a unique secret recipe, why are you still asking?"
"It's okay, it's okay. It's just that this is really special. I can't explain it myself, so it's not easy to explain."
Xia Xu also quickly smiled and expressed that he didn't mind.
Thumb: "Atuo is actually a retired police dog that I bought specially."

Tang Zhan became anxious when he heard this, as if he was the one who missed the divine dog. His frustration and thumping of his chest were palpable.
"At the beginning, Atuo's physical condition was actually very bad. I used a unique secret recipe to recuperate Atuo. Otherwise, Atuo's physical fitness would be much weaker than other trained dogs."
Xia Xu quickly explained.
"That's pretty much it. So Xiaoxia, you've made a big mistake. I haven't seen a stronger dog than this dog in so many years."
Tang Zhan's expression softened slightly after hearing Xia Xu's explanation, and he said curiously: "What kind of unique secret recipe do you have... Forget it, I'm talking too much. Since I already said it's a unique secret recipe, why are you still asking?"
