Not far from the road, the house surrounded by blue brick walls is half an acre in size. There is a pond in front of it. There are four or five families scattered around. In the quiet night, seven or eight lights are lit, and the outlines of the far and near scenes are drawn. Outline lightly.

Sister and brother Chen Huai and Chen Dan approached the house, and suddenly a dog bark came from the darkness, making people realize that a dog was lying behind the courtyard gate. Perhaps it was because the footsteps did not stop, and the dog at the courtyard door barked violently twice, in an attempt to dissuade outsiders from approaching the courtyard.

Seeing Shen Huai stop in front, Chen Dan guessed that he was afraid of being bitten by a dog, and explained: "Jin Zi is timid, it's a golden retriever dog that Haiwen caught and raised from the city during his lifetime. It sounds unfamiliar to him. The sound of human footsteps can only be called twice, but after knowing each other, it is docile. But it is also strange. After Haven died, Jin Zi didn't scream for more than half a month. People passing by seem to be waiting for Haiwen to come back..."

Shen Huai whistled probingly.

This whistle sound was still a bit dull in the silent night, but when the whistle sounded, a black shadow appeared from the darkness and rushed towards Shen Huai.

Chen Dan was taken aback, thinking that Jin Zi was going crazy and wanted to bite Shen Huai, but he couldn't stop it, so he watched Jin Zi jump in front of Shen Huai before he slammed into his feet.

Jin Zi hesitantly looked up at the person in front of him, then tentatively leaned in and sniffed, as if he wanted to smell a familiar smell from the person in front of him... That whistle sound was so familiar, but the person in front of him smelled different. It was so unfamiliar, Jin Zi was confused, and seemed unwilling that the familiar whistle would disappear, groaning like a whimper.

Chen Tong only thought that gold wanted to bite Shen Huai, how could he let Shen Huai let a dog bite? He jumped out of the car and kicked at Jin Zi, trying to kick the danger away from Shen Huai.

"Don't!" Seeing Chen Tong coming over with his foot raised, Shen Huai couldn't stop it, so he stepped over and blocked in front of Jin Zi. Chen Tong raised his foot and kicked the dog without knowing the seriousness. Shen Huai was kicked on the calf, and the pain was piercing. He couldn't help turning back and shouting at Chen Tong: "It just doesn't know me, why are you kicking it?"

Chen Tong was frightened by Shen Huai, and Chen Dan was also at a loss for the sudden change.

Shen Huai also knew that Chen Tong was in a hurry just now because he was afraid that the dog would bite him, but at this moment he couldn't hold back his emotions any more, he squatted down and hugged Jin Zi who was in confusion, crying uncontrollably...

The moment Jin Zi hugged Shen Huai, he still wanted to struggle, but suddenly he felt that this hug was so familiar. His bright eyes looked at the big tears falling on the cheek of the man in front of him. Although he was confused, he leaned over and stuck out his tongue. He licked his face twice, the salty tears were nothing to eat, so he didn't struggle to escape, but immersed himself in this familiar hug.

Chen Dan's vigilance and defense, Shen Huai would not blame her, and felt that she deserved it. Knowing that she was a good woman with a clean body, Shen Huai also controlled to approach Xiao Li and Chen Dan without being too abrupt. It's just that the more rational restraint, the more complex emotions that the relatives are in front of them and cannot be recognized will be suppressed more and more, and they will collapse like this inadvertently.

Gold still recognizes himself! Shen Huai thought excitedly, the tears couldn't stop, and the whereabouts of the brushes covered his face.

Chen Dan and Chen Tong were all dumbfounded. Shen Huai was so majestic when he shocked Wang Gang, the "yellow-faced cat", before dark. How could he expect that he would hold a "unfamiliar" dog and cry like this. Fortunately, it was night, so it wasn't a complete destruction of the image, but it also frightened the Chen Dan sister and brother, and they were at a loss.

"Brother?" A timid voice suddenly came from the courtyard gate.

"Oh, it's us." Listening to Xiao Li shouting in the yard, Chen Tong thought it was calling him, only then did he come back to his senses and responded.

It was also Xiao Li's timid shout, as if there was an ethereal sound in his soul, awakening Shen Huai's out-of-control emotions, turning his head to look, the headlights in the yard were lit up, and the lights hit Xiao Li's thin face. On her fair face, she could see that her eyes were full of confusion and unconcealed loss: Could it be that Xiao Li also heard the whistle he just couldn't help calling Jin Zi?

Jin Zi is eight months old, with beautiful fur, like light golden satin, as high as Shen Huai's knees, with his tail waving, he barked lowly at Xiao Li who was standing in the courtyard door, as if he was Tell her: he is my brother.

Xiao Li stood in the bright light, unable to see the tears on Shen Huai's face, watching Chen Dan, Chen Tong and Secretary Shen who had helped them in the city steel factory before standing at the intersection, only when he heard the familiar voice just now. The whistle is his own hallucination.

Although Xiao Li was disappointed, he still opened the courtyard door and asked, "Why did you come back so late? Ah, what's going on on Brother Chen Tong's face?"

Although Shen Huai's heart was aching, he woke up, wiped the tears from his cheeks, and smiled at Chen Dan, who was frightened: "I also had a dog to accompany me when I was a child, and Jin Zi looks too much like it. I grew up on the farm. , I live with my mother, and I don’t have any playmates. The dog accompanies us through the most difficult years. When I was twelve years old, my mother died of illness, and the dog stayed with me for another year. I died of old age, and then I grew up alone, and I don't even have a friend..."

Shen Huai was crying like that. How could Chen Dan suspect his half-truths? Her vigilance and guard against Shen Huai were completely disintegrated at this moment, and there was a soft place in her heart for the person in front of her to indulge. Impressed by emotional outbursts.

"Chen Tong, you go with Xiao Li first..." Chen Dan was afraid that Shen Huai would be embarrassed to others, and asked her brother to go with Xiao Li to the yard. She wanted to accompany Shen Huai to stand for a while in the dark.

Strange to say, Jin Zi ignored Xiao Li's call, but stood meekly beside Shen Huai, sweeping his trousers with his tail from time to time.

Shen Huai stood on the mud ridge on the side of the road. Only then did he feel that Chen Tong had been kicked. His calf was aching.

"This kid Chen Tong really doesn't know the importance." The light was very dark. Chen Dan could squat in front of Shen Huai's eyes to see where Shen Huai's leg was kicked. Pressing on the skin, he raised his head and asked Shen Huai, "Does it hurt?"

"Chen Tong was afraid that I would bite Jin Zi and then lift his foot. I yelled at him in a hurry. You can tell him for me later." Shen Huai pretended to be relaxed.

He didn't mind Chen Tong's kick, but just wanted to clear up his emotions as soon as possible. He felt that Chen Dan's fingers on his little foot felt cool. Chen Dan was so close, her face was like a clear lotus emerging from the dark water, her eyes were so clear, Shen Huai smelled the faint fragrance from her body, her excitement gradually calmed down, and her heart warmed. Yes, restraining the urge to take her into his arms.

After the emotions were cleared up, Shen Huai and Chen Dan went into the yard, where Chen Tong and Xiao Li were already preparing dinner.

Chen Dan and her husband Sun Yong have always had a bad relationship after marriage. Later, they simply lived in the single dormitory upstairs of the reception station in the town. Recently, they had to accompany Xiao Li, so they temporarily lived in the old house.

Around the old house is empty, is a small water plateau, surrounded by ponds on three sides, one side has a soil ridge leading to the road, no other people within two or three hundred meters around. Just two people and a timid dog live in such a house, and it's quite infiltrating at night.

Even if Shen Huai didn't happen to want to rent a house in Meixi Town, Chen Dan also wanted to take Xiao Li to live in the town and let the old house live; it's just that the gold, which is used to wild in the countryside, is not easy to care for in the dormitory of the town reception station. , hesitant to make up his mind.

Shen Huai wanted to rent the whole house, and promised to put Jin Zi in the old house and let him take care of it. Chen Dan and Xiao Li could come and see it at any time, and this problem was solved.

Xiao Li doesn't care much, no matter how strong she is, she's only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and she has a habit of relying on Chen Dan these days~lightnovelpub.net~ Naturally, Chen Dan makes up her mind about renting a house. .

Chen Dan originally did not want to get too close to Shen Huai, because he was afraid that he would have any thoughts about him. The closer he got, the deeper he would sink, but seeing Shen Huai crying bitterly with gold in his arms, this layer of concern and defense suddenly became apparent. collapse.

She knew that Shen Huai looked very beautiful, young and promising, and she must have suffered unimaginable pain in her heart, so she inadvertently vented her emotions so indulgently-although Shen Huai looked ugly when she cried bitterly. , but such a person made her feel at ease and real.

Thinking of Shen Huai's appearance just now, and seeing that all night, Jin Zi stayed at Shen Huai's feet and did not leave, enjoying his touch very freely. Rent the house to him?

The matter of renting the house was settled, Chen Dan and Xiaoli didn't want rent, Shen Huai put the six hundred money for three months' rent on the table and said:

"I came to Meixi Town to be a cadre. If the white house doesn't pay rent, I can't justify it. This is also in Meixi Town. With such a big yard and so many outside land, it's only every month. The rent of 200 yuan is really cheap for me. You can help me draw up a lease for the renting of the house, and then notify the village. Don't let the neighbors on the left and right see that a stranger like me will be beaten by a thief. , at that time I had nowhere to say grievances..."

Shen Huai's words are always persuasive and cannot be rejected; however, Chen Dan took the lead in taking the rent. Although the city steel factory promised to pay the living expenses and tuition fees on a monthly basis before Xiao Li began to work, but the price of goods has risen sharply this year, and the monthly living expenses are only more than 120 yuan. In fact, life will be very embarrassing. Chen Dan Her salary is not high.

If you rent out the old house, you can get an extra 200 yuan in rent per month, and you really don't need to be so tight in life.
