gentlemen!Please don't call me Douding

Shao Yao slept on his own until almost ten o'clock.

He got out of bed and fetched a cup of hot water, found a flashlight and cotton swabs in the drawer, Ding Dou sat cross-legged on the bed and hugged the quilt, and asked, "Shaoyao, what are you doing."

Shaoyao gave him water to drink, took out a clean sterile cotton swab, and asked him to open his mouth. Ding Dou opened his mouth wide and said "Ah—" Shaoyao looked at his throat with a flashlight and was relieved when he found that there was no swelling.

"Go to the park, the weather is fine, don't eat spicy food today, you go wash up, I'll cook porridge for you."

"Mr. Shao—well, what about Shao Zi, don't you mind them?"

Shao Yao led him into the bathroom, "He can play by himself."

As long as he is his wife, he doesn't care about others.

The porridge cooked by Shaoyao put chopped green vegetable leaves and ham sausage, no salt was added, the taste was light and not greasy, and it was delicious. He made the porridge in the kitchen and asked Ding Dou to sit at the table and wait.

Ding Dou fumbled to stand up, walked into the kitchen cautiously, Shao Yao stretched out his hand and pulled him to his side, the kitchen was full of edges and corners, afraid of touching him.

"What are you doing here?" Shao Yao diced cucumbers and stuffed them into Ding Dou's mouth, the fragrance was delicious.

Ding Dou hugged his waist from behind, rubbed his forehead on his shoulder, smiled lightly, his eyes filled with tenderness, "Tell me about yourself."

He didn't even know Shaoyao's age. Although he didn't think it was important, Ding Dou suddenly wanted to know Shaoyao very much. The picture about Shaoyao in his mind had outlines and colors. The scenery around Shaoyao is also missing.

Shao Yao pursed his lips, turned his head and kissed his forehead, "I am three years older than Shao Zi. I was thrown to the United States by the old man when I was born. I grew up in the United States, and Shao Zi lives in China. We meet every year."

The two brothers have a very good relationship. The Shao family was born in the army, Shao Yao was an American citizen, and Shao Zi served in the army. The old man does business and starts companies all over the world. He is quite rich, but the two brothers have been independent and earn money since they were young. To feed themselves, the family gets together once a year.

Xu Zehui is Shaoyao's junior. Huizi entered the school for one year and then Shaoyao left as a soldier. At first the two didn't know each other very well. Later, Shaoyao was ordered by the old man to leave the army and go into business. Shaoyao was looking for suitable candidates at school. At that time, Xu Zehui appeared in a silly way.

Followed behind Shao Yao's buttocks for many years, the two spent more time together than he and Shao Zi, just like brothers.

Shao Yao probably knew about Xu Zehui's situation. When he planned to come to China, he told Huizi that this trip might take a long time. Xu Zehui laughed, and I will go wherever the boss goes.

He didn't say anything, but he knew why Xu Zehui often stayed by his side. He was not good at economics, and spent most of the night reading and studying in the company. Xu Zehui didn't go home, so he stayed with him all night.

It didn't take long before the company's situation gradually improved. Some time before Shao Yao planned to return to China, Xu Ran got married. Huizi's younger brother who loved him in his younger life got married. He got drunk and took charge of the company. Weeping silently, with a smirk, he told Shao Yao when he found out that he fell in love with his younger brother.

Shao Yao was not very good at comforting others, so he drank with him, got drunk one after another, and a week later, Xu Zehui left the United States without looking back after obtaining his passport.

In the company, the secretary brought over a stack of recruitment profiles. Xu Zehui rubbed his stomach and frowned as he read the documents.

"Assistant Xu, what's wrong with you, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Xu Zehui smiled wryly, "The meal I ate in the morning was too spicy, and I drank some cold water on ice. My stomach hurts. Is there any medicine?"

"Yes, wait a moment."

On the other end, Er Shaozi led people to have fun in the city, and on this end, Shao Yao and Ding Dou were taking a leisurely walk in the square park.

There are many old trees with dense branches and leaves in the square park. The thick leaves cover the sunlight, and the colorful sunlight and shadows are sprinkled from the gaps.

The park is open, and there are many small vendors selling things beside the flower beds, kites are floating in the sky, and children are running and playing in the square with smiles.

Ding Dou took a bag of chestnuts, and Shao Yao peeled them one by one for him to eat. They were hot out of the oven, with a shiny shell and sweet and waxy flesh.

Nearest to them, an old man moved a box and put it on the ground, and there was a soft meowing sound from inside.

The children immediately gathered around, touching the kitten that they could hold with two small hands in surprise.

"How much is one?"

"30, I raised it at home, it's cheap. It's just born, it's only full moon. The coat color is beautiful, and the female cat is good."

Ding Dou tilted his head slightly, listening to the voice over there, with curiosity and a smile on his face.

Shao Yao went over and grabbed a cat and put it in his hand, "Like cats?"

The cat cub in Ding Dou's hand was only as big as Ding Dou's palm, with a soft body and a sweet cry, meow meow meow opened jade yellow eyes and tilted his head cutely to look at the person who was holding it.

"Will I hurt it?"

Ding Dou didn't quite remember what the cat looked like, but he felt that the fur of this little thing seemed to be the softest in the world, and his body was also soft. When he slept, he was as lazy as He He, and he liked to bask in the sun.

Ding Dou's hand smelled of oily chestnuts, and Xiao Maowa sniffed his hand with his small nose.

The cat seller asked, "Sir, do you want it?"

Ding Dou returned the cat to Shao Yao, "Don't disturb his business."

The 30 yuan a cat is really not expensive. Although it is not a purebred famous blood, all of them are soft and cute.

"Give me [-] for these two, can you buy one and get one free? It's just pure yellow, with only a little white tip on the belly, how beautiful it is."

Shao Yao pulled Ding Dou and squatted in front of the box, watching in a circle with the children and parents.

After a while, a parent bought one, and there was only the thin one huddled in a corner in the box.

The old man began to pack the boxes and prepare to go home.

Shao Yao said, "There is one more."

The old man looked at it and said, "This cat can't be sold. Every time there is only one cat left, it is bigger than the others. No one wants to buy one and get one free."

The old man took out the cat that was shrunk in the corner and showed it to Shao Yao. The cat's eyes were big and abrupt, because it was too thin, its body was yellow and white, and its bones were quite big, but it didn't have any flesh on its body, only a thin and protruding part. spine.

"This one was bitten by the dog when it was born, and the mother cat managed to drive the dog away, but you see, its hind leg was bitten off, and it couldn't squeeze the other cats every time it ate. It’s been sold twice, and I don’t want to give it away.”

"I won't sell it if I can't sell it this time. Let's raise it with the old cat. I don't know how long it can live like this. There are many cats and dogs at home."

Shao Yao handed the broken-legged cat to Ding Dou, Ding Dou was so distressed, there was no flesh in his hand, the bone protruded and pierced his hand, it was obviously bigger, but it was pitifully small, shrunk in Ding Dou's hand Li was motionless and sickly, not as agile as other cats.

Ding Dou sighed, "I can't even grab the food."

The broken-legged cat struggled to get up, lowered its head and licked Ding Dou's palm, lowered its small head, didn't dare to look at people, flinched and was very timid.

Shao Yao took out 30 to the old man, "I bought it."

The old man waved his hand and said no, "I'll send you off, no money."

Shao Yao didn't take it back, put the money into the old man's hand, and said in a low voice, "It's all the same."

This one is the same as the others, worth the money, even the cat with broken legs is more valuable, because it has a different experience from other cats. More than other cats, she wants to live and struggles to survive.

Ding Dou sat beside the flower bed with the cat in his arms. Shao Yao picked a chestnut and handed it to the cat's mouth. The folded-legged cat smelled the fragrance, looked up at the man in fear, and waited for a long time before nibbling a little carefully.

"Want to raise?"

Ding Dou touched its soft body and was a little hesitant. In fact, it doesn’t cost much to raise a cat. Their family can still afford it. It just so happens that he can let the cat accompany grandma when he is at work.

It is related to him.

Ding Dou frowned, "Well. I like it."

"Come up with a name." Shao Yao's brows softened, looking at Douding with distressed expression on his face.

He knows how he feels, just as he knows why he bought the cat.

Difficult words don't need to be said, the other party will understand.

"Douzi, can I call it Douzi?"

As unlucky as him, but as lucky as him to meet Shao Yao.

"Row."

At the end of May, the weather is really hot, and the sun shines heavily on the earth.

Luo Yu got married, and Ding Dou took Shao Yao with him. During the noon banquet, the massage shop rested all day, and Shao Yao bought watermelon for Ding Dou to take home.

As soon as I got home, the room was stuffy, and the palm-sized bean limped over and meowed softly at the two of them, very happy.

Shao Yao asked, "Don't turn on the fan?"

Ding Dou picked up Douzi lying on his feet and rubbed it, "It was broken a few days ago, and the repairer will come in two days."

"Is there a toolbox, I'll take a look for you."

Grandma Ding cut up the watermelon on the dining table, "Hey, Mr. Shao is not troublesome, someone has repaired it, it's hot, eat watermelon first to cool off."

Shaoyao asked Ding Dou to eat watermelon with grandma, but Ding Dou didn't want to, and when he heard grandma enter the kitchen, he whispered, "Don't worry, someone will fix it."

"It's hot these days." Shao Yao didn't want him and grandma to get hot, how uncomfortable.

Ding Dou had no choice but to pull Shao Yao's arm, leaned very close, and quickly kissed him, telling him to be careful.

Shao Yao set up a stool and took out the tool Ding Dou gave him to check the circuit.

Grandma Ding came out of the kitchen and sat at the table to eat watermelon. She glanced at Ding Dou who was waiting at the side. There was a somewhat unclear look on her face imprinted with years, which disappeared in a blink of an eye. She smiled and asked Ding Dou , "Xiao Ding, Luo Yu is married, she is only two years older than you."

Ding Dou nodded, the beans in his hand stared helplessly at the watermelon on the table and did not dare to move. Grandma Ding hugged the beans and fed it a small piece.

Grandma Ding said, "Xiao Ding is getting married too."

Ding Dou was startled, lowered his head and said softly, "I'm not in a hurry."

"It's not urgent, but I have to meet the girl. Xiao Ding is 23. Your father met your mother at this time."

Grandma Ding's eyes are full of nostalgia, her pale hair is imprinted with the vicissitudes and peace of the years, and the wrinkles on her face go deep into her bones one by one, bringing a century into her bones and blood to walk through the difficult past.

She looked at the sweaty man in the room, but she didn't dare to meet Shao Yao's eyes, her voice was soft, passing through the dust in the air, "Xiao Ding, let's get married, okay?"
