paddock

Afraid of scaring Yuan Ning, the family tried their best to suppress their curiosity and told Yuan Ning to sit down and have breakfast.After breakfast was finished, the doorbell rang. Aunt Shen opened the door and found that it was a strange old man with a cane, his eyes were cloudy, and he could not see the slightest brilliance.

Aunt Shen was startled, and asked politely, "Old man, who are you looking for?"

The old man said: "Hi, my name is Xie. Last time my dog ​​frightened your two children, I came to the door to apologize and compensate you." Both the man and the dog were safe, and the old man no longer panicked. It looks a little more elegant than last time.If it weren't for his dull eyes, the old man would have looked like a scholar.He sighed, "I know your family is not short of this money, but please allow me to express my apology for Zhaofu."

Aunt Shen naturally knew the situation of the old man, so she decided to invite the old man into the house.Zhang Xiuyan took Yuan Ning out to meet the guests. The old man apologized repeatedly and left Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuling a lot of compensation.Being able to live in this area, the family would naturally not be short of money, and the nanny who didn't want the help of relatives to choose was such a terrible person.

Probably because he thought that if he died, he could share his money.A sense of gloom welled up in the old man's heart.

His wife is weak and difficult to conceive. He loves his wife more than he desires for his children.Even after his wife died, he never thought of remarrying.On the contrary, those relatives introduced women to him all day long. He is an old man in his dying years, blind and lame. Why should a young girl be nice to him?It's nothing more than money and real estate.

Something happened this time, and it made the old man see some people clearly.He has asked a lawyer to make a will. Once he is gone, all the money will be donated and will never be left to any "relatives"!

Zhang Xiuyan accepted the compensation from the old man for Zhang Xiuling and Yuan Ning.Seeing Yuan Ning was hesitant to speak, Zhang Xiuyan asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

Yuan Ning was taken aback.Knowing that Zhang Xiuyan was talking to himself, Yuan Ning swallowed, and asked in a low voice, "Is it alright?... It's just, that dog." After that day, he had several nightmares, and he woke up a little Scared, but thinking of how spiritual the dog was that day, Yuan Ning couldn't help wondering how it was doing now.

The old man did not expect that Yuan Ning was not only not afraid, but also took the initiative to ask about the situation of recruiting blessings.His expression softened.Although his family is full of unscrupulous juniors, there are still such tolerant and kind children in the world.

The old man said: "It's stomach washed, although it's a little uncomfortable, but the residual poison is cleared, so it's nothing serious. Zhaofu is usually very smart and obedient. If you want, you can go and see it in a few days." He reported to Yuan Ning an address.

Yuan Ning took a small notebook and wrote it down carefully.For some reason, he felt that there was something familiar about the old man, as if he had seen it somewhere.He and Aunt Shen sent the old man away together, and when he turned his head and saw Zhang Xiuyan standing in the garden looking at the flowers, he suddenly remembered.

Isn't it like Zhang Xiuyan last night?

What exactly is that "something"?Yuan Ning was confused.

Yuan Ning returned to the room and honestly wrote the timetable.He has just learned to read and practice calligraphy for a few days, and he writes characters neatly and neatly, so he writes very slowly, and he has to stop and look up the dictionary when he encounters a word he can't write.

Yuan Ning didn't fill in till ten o'clock in the morning until Meng Zhao came over.Meng Zhao picked up Yuan Ning's half-written timetable, and secretly sighed in his heart that he had lived so many years in vain, and his life was not as good as that of a six-year-old child.

Meng Zhao said: "Then today we will learn how to make a good day arrangement."

Yuan Ning nodded.

Meng Zhao said: "You continue to write, and I will also make my own timetable, and I will give you a reference when I am done."

Yuan Ning continued to fill in happily.

After working hard for a long time, the two finally made the timetable.Yuan Ning was very interested in the university, and asked about Meng Zhao's timetable one by one, full of yearning for university life.

Meng Zhao was overwhelmed by Yuan Ning's curiosity and admiration, and blurted out: "If you have time in the future, I can take you to my teacher's training base. They are trying to cultivate white fungus, fungus, and ganoderma. There are a lot of beautiful flowers and trees. I also work part-study with another teacher, who raises a lot of cows and is researching high-quality milk.”

Yuan Ning was fascinated.

He was not used to dealing with people since he was a child, and he preferred to be with animals and trees and give them all a name.

When he was a child, he lived in a small village, and he knew every tree in there, and Yuan Ning carefully observed every ant nest.

Later, when I came to my second aunt's house, my second aunt raised pigs, chickens and ducks, and a very beautiful goose.Yuan Ning still remembered that the goose's crown was very red and its cry was very loud, which could help them drive a group of ducks to the pond for food.When the second aunt sent it to grandma's house to slaughter, Yuan Ning was sad for a long time, and even secretly felt that grandma was a bad person.

When Meng Zhao said that he could take him to see so many flowers, trees and animals, Yuan Ning couldn't say how happy he was.But soon, Yuan Ning's eyes dimmed again.In the past, he didn't dare to go out casually when he was at the second aunt's house, for fear of causing trouble to the second aunt, and now he lives in Zhang's house, he can't go out even more.

Yuan Ning said, "I won't go."

Meng Zhao also realized that he had made an unrealistic proposal.He comforted dryly: "There will always be opportunities in the future."

Yuan Ning nodded and sent Meng Zhao out.

You can't go to distant places, but you can go to nearby ones. In the evening, Yuan Ning, accompanied by Zhang Xiuwen, went to visit the old man.

The old man has bad eyesight, but good taste. There is an old-fashioned record player at home, playing piano music from the last century, and the decoration of the whole house seems to be from the last century.

Zhang Xiuwen was amazed and looked around curiously.

The nanny was arrested, and the old man could only hire a professional nurse from the hospital as before, and let the housekeeping company send someone to solve the daily housework.

It was the people from the housekeeping company who led the way for Yuan Ning and the others.Yuan Ning walked in behind Zhang Xiuwen, and went to the garden behind to find the old man.

The old man was blind and had limited mobility. He stood there with a cane and waited for them.

Yuan Ning's attention was suddenly attracted by the big dog Zhaofu.Zhaofu washed his stomach and took medicine. He was not in a good mood, and lay down on the wooden back balcony to bask in the sun.Outside is the green grass, and professionals come to take care of it every week, so the grass grows neatly, which is just right for Zhaofu to roll and play on it.

Yuan Ning took a breath of fresh air and felt that the old man's house was really nice.He stared at Zhaofu, saw it lying motionless, and remembered Meng Zhao said that children can communicate with animals, so he couldn't help asking the old man in a low voice, "Can I talk to it?"

The old man nodded.

Yuan Ning squatted in front of Zhaofu.He was already short, and when he squatted down, he became even shorter, just at the same level as Zhao Fu's eyes.

Yuan Ning looked at Zhao Fu without blinking, and felt that those eyes were like black gemstones, shiny and very beautiful.It's so dark.

Zhang Xiuwen was taken aback by Yuan Ning's boldness.Such a big dog, how dare he walk so close, even squatting in front of that big dog!Zhang Xiuwen shouldered the duty of protecting his younger brother, and said, "Ningning, don't get too close!"

Yuan Ning said: "It doesn't want to bite people." Yuan Ning is still young, so her voice is inevitably a little childish.He didn't move, but asked Zhao Fu carefully, "Can I touch you?"

Zhao Fu closed his eyelids, opened them again, and stuck out his tongue to lick the back of Yuan Ning's hand.

When Yuan Ning was licked by the hot, soft dog's tongue, his whole head felt slightly numb.Soon, he "understood" Zhaofu's words again, and Zhaofu said "thank you" to him!Zhaofu is thanking him!

This novel feeling made Yuan Ning extremely happy, but also a little regretful.

If only he had known that children could talk to animals!He can chat with the big yellow cow in the village, and he can also have a good talk with the big goose!

Yuan Ning patted its head after getting Zhaofu's approval.

The old man asked someone to buy tea from outside to entertain Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuwen.Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuwen obediently washed their hands and went to taste the sweet tea and the dessert. They talked with the old man for a while before getting up and saying they wanted to go back.

Zhao Fu, who had been lying on one side, stood up, and followed the old man to send Yuan Ning and the others to the door.Yuan Ning was about to leave when he felt that Zhao Fu had something to say to him.He knelt down and stroked Zhaofu's furry head again.After listening to Zhao Fu's words, Yuan Ning was stunned for a moment, and nodded seriously in agreement.

Zhao Fu said that its owner was very lonely, and those relatives only cared about its owner's property, so he asked him to visit its owner more often.

What a dog.

Yuan Ning glanced at Zhang Xiuwen who came with her, and found that Zhang Xiuwen didn't seem to have heard Zhao Fu's words, his throat moved, he didn't mention anything, and followed Zhang Xiuwen home.

During the meal, Zhang Xiuwen was still sitting next to Yuan Ning.

Yuan Ning had almost finished eating, wiped his mouth clean, drank some water, and then whispered to Zhang Xiuwen: "Third brother, can you accompany me to see Zhaofu more in the future?"

Zhang Xiuling couldn't go with Yuan Ning. Zhang Xiuling was terrified that day, and refused to see creatures like big dogs for a short time.For the lively and enthusiastic Zhang Xiuwen, Yuan Ning has an inexplicable sense of trust—maybe because he admires Zhang Xiuwen's cheerful personality.

Zhang Xiuwen said: "Okay! I am very interested in the records collected by that grandpa Xie. The few songs I listened to today are hard to find!"

Yuan Ning said happily: "Thank you, third brother!"

Zhang Xiuling was jealous: "Ningning, you were also deceived by this guy!"

Yuan Ning was confused: "Huh?" What did Zhang Xiuwen lie to him?

Zhang Xiuling said: "Actually, this guy is very hateful, he can snatch other people's friends away every time!" There is no doubt that she is that other person!This guy has only been back for two days, and he bought Yuan Ning!Zhang Xiuling snorted, "Ningning, I'll accompany you next time!"

Zhang Xiuwen raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you afraid?"

Zhang Xiuling was not to be outdone: "I'm not afraid!"

Zhang Xiuyan said lightly: "Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep."

Zhang Xiuling and Zhang Xiuwen both fell silent.

Yuan Ning didn't dare to speak anymore.

Zhang Xiuyan called his name: "Yuan Ning."

Yuan Ning raised his head and looked at him timidly.

Zhang Xiuyan said, "Have you finished eating?"

Yuan Ning nodded.

Zhang Xiuyan asked again: "Is the timetable finished?"

Yuan Ning nodded again.

After Zhang Xiuyan took the last sip of the cold drink, he took a look at Yuan Ning: "You take it later, I'll wait for you in the room."

The author has something to say:

Third Brother: Hee hee hee new brother loves to play with me!

Sister: Get up!I want to play with my brother!I saw my brother first!

Big Brother's indifferent face: boring. (Turning to Ningning expressionlessly) Come to my room.
