Solstice Secrets

After communicating with Cheng Anni, they separately allocated a sum of money from the Shanshen Fund.In addition to being used to find people, we are also preparing to provide some assistance in this regard to those clansmen who need financial assistance.Qingshu didn't say too much about this, but Ling Dongzhi thought that under the circumstances at that time, the children who were hurriedly sent out must have been chosen from nearby families, and the living conditions of the few villages near Dayan Mountain were not good. How about it, I haven't heard of anyone whose conditions are particularly rich.In the rural areas, there are still a small number of children without children, and many families secretly raise two children and three children.In that case, if you add a picked-up child, you can imagine the hardships of life.Ling Dongzhi couldn't regard finding clan members as the most important event in his life like Qingshu did, so he could only show his support for Qingshu in his own way, after all he still had his own work and life.

When Ling Dongzhi was painting the background color on the canvas, he still wondered if those two young men who worked as veterinarians in the ravine were from his clan. If it was true, Qingshu would probably be overjoyed.

There was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, not the sound he was familiar with, but the footsteps of another small animal, with a slightly faltering feeling.Ling Dongzhi glanced over from the corner of his eye, and sure enough, he saw a round brown figure hiding at the door of the studio, looking inside.

It is the cat wife brought back by the master.

Ling Dongzhi pretended that he didn't notice anything, and continued to be busy with the matter in hand.This little guy named Cherry is very timid and very cautious by nature.Ling Dongzhi has been thinking about taking a bath for it since it entered the door, but it has not been able to do so.Cherry has been huddling under the crabapple tree in the corner of the yard, and he and Zhuang Zhou carefully hid it when he and Zhuang Zhou appeared.In the past few days, Ling Dongzhi personally feeds the little fish with the cat food bowl every day, so Cherry relaxes his guard against him.At noon yesterday, Lingdong Zhi moved the water basin to the yard, let his servant accompany him, and at the same time preached the principles of hygiene to it, so he finally gave it a bath.Although the process was a bit tragic, after the washing, its attitude towards Ling Dongzhi changed significantly.When I saw him again, the guard was no longer so obvious in those beautiful green eyes.Although I still can't be as relaxed as the other three little guys, I'm not as afraid of him as I used to be.

Cherry walked back and forth at the door of the studio for two steps, then called softly into the studio, "Meow."

Ling Dongzhi put down the paintbrush, turned around as if he had just discovered it, and said, "Ah, it's a cherry. You haven't been to my studio yet, come in and have a look."

Cherry hesitated for a moment, then strolled in with small, reserved steps.Looking around with the green cat eyes, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva at a painting in the corner, "Big fish... really good."

Ling Dongzhi glanced at the still life in the corner, dumbfounded, and said in his heart that he and his servant were really incompatible.

"Want to eat fish?" Ling Dongzhi recalled what he said to Qing about the need for nutritional supplements for pregnant women, so he quickly got up and said, "There are still small fried fish in the refrigerator, I'll go and warm up two for you as a snack."

Cherry's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay."

It turned out to be begging for food.Ling Dongzhi felt the pleasure of being pestered by a child for snacks and a bit of annoyance in his heart.On the one hand, I feel that children cannot do everything without adults, and on the other hand, I am a little hesitant. Is it really okay to eat and drink so recklessly?

Cherry is fatter than when he first arrived, with bright eyes and oily fur.He devoured food like a voracious eater, with a kind of urge not to compete with the old lady, and it seemed that he had suffered a lot outside.Ling Dongzhi felt sad, but he was very cooperative and didn't come to him.Feral cats are different from domestic cats in that they are more sensitive to closeness and distance.

Cherry finished her snack, licked her lips contentedly, and meowed at Ling Dongzhi.

Ling Dongzhi tentatively stretched out his hand to touch its back, Cherry flinched a bit, but did not avoid it.Ling Dongzhi's heart suddenly softened, as if it was about to melt.

"Don't eat too much at one time, it will be bad for the stomach." Ling Dongzhi gently stroked its back, comforting it softly, "I'll get you something to eat in two hours."

He touched the cherries twice, and the skin and flesh all over his body became less stiff, and his big wet eyes looked at Ling Dongzhi, revealing a soft taste.

"It's not good to be hungry, but you can't eat too much at one time, and you have to keep exercising every day." Ling Dong Zhi babbled and instructed it while brushing its fur, "Otherwise it will be very sad when the baby is born."

"Meow." Cherry licked his fingers.

Ling Dongzhi grinned, "Where did you meet the servant?"

Cherry said softly: "It's on the square next to the big fountain. My companion and I live in a fake cave next to the square. When we came out to bask in the sun, someone set dogs to bite us. It was the servant who led them It's open."

It turns out that the drama of the hero saving the beauty also has a meaning that transcends race.

Ling Dongzhi sighed for a moment, and then felt that what it said sounded quite familiar. After thinking about it, he realized that it was the time Xiao Hui was injured before.At that time, it seemed that a few cats were rummaging through garbage bags at the back of the restaurant, and then someone led the dog out. Ling Dongzhi gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that his cats would not be so mediocre. Scum?

But this kind of thought popped up in his mind, and he couldn't hold it down for a while, Ling Dongzhi couldn't help asking, "What's that guy who let the dog go? Have you seen him before?"

Cherry nodded, "Yes. His family lives in a community with many trees by the sea. I have been there. He has several dogs. He likes to take big dogs out, and his sister likes to take small dogs out. He also Likes to quarrel with his sister!"

Ling Dongzhi asked again. "Did the servant say that he has seen this man?"

Cherry hesitated for a moment, "It said it remembered the smell of that dog."

"..." Ling Dongzhi suddenly felt a little angry in his heart, followed by a feeling of bewilderment.Even if he found the bastard who let the dog bite the cat, so what?Let the cat bite back?This happened several months ago, and besides, he didn't have any evidence in his hand.

Ling Dongzhi cursed angrily.

Cherry said to herself: "He always stands in the yard and shouts: Cao Mingzhu! Are you a pig?! Take care of your dead dog, if you dare to cross the line, I will kill it!" It imitates a man Shouting at the top of his lungs, he raised his paws and flicked his neck after shouting, and coughed twice, "This guy shouts like that every time."

Ling Dongzhi smiled, "Don't learn! He's not a good person." Then he wondered, where did he hear the name Cao Mingzhu?Why is it so familiar?

This little question was unexpectedly revealed at the party two days later.

"You mean Cao Mingzhu?" He Kuan asked He Qing while helping a few people open beer, "Isn't she the eldest daughter of the jewelry Cao family? When did you get involved with their family?"

He Qing slowly raised his glass to Zhuang Zhou, "I'm too lazy to care about these things, doesn't it have something to do with Zhuang Er."

Several people looked at Zhuangzhou together.Zhuang Zhou looked back at several people, with a puzzled expression on his face, "What and what? I don't know who Cao Mingzhu is, I don't know him at all, okay?"

Speaking of it, it was not a big day, the business with Kuan and Zhuangzhou came to an end temporarily, and a few people sneaked together to get together.It was hot, and the few people didn't have much appetite, so they didn't bother to think about the place for the party, so they directly chose a teppanyaki restaurant near Yujingyuan.

"You think I'm lying to you?" He Qing said with a smile: "This person is really related to your family. Haven't you heard that Xia Mo has been walking very close to Cao's people recently?"

Zhuang Zhou was stunned for a moment, "Mo Xia makes electronic products, it has nothing to do with jewelry."

He Qing looked at him with a look of "you are OUT", "At the end of Xia, he bought Yuancui Building. At this juncture, it is the most correct choice to marry the jewelry Cao family." It plays a pivotal role in the circle, and also occupies a considerable share in the raw ore trading in Southeast Asia.

Zhuang Zhou was at a loss in his heart.He didn't expect that the end of Xia would arrange his life's major events in this way one day.He originally thought that after seeing his parents' experience, he would choose another way when facing his emotional problems, a more free and tender way that he could do as he pleased.What he didn't expect at all was that Xia Mo went to another extreme and regarded marriage as a pure exchange of benefits.He was suddenly a little uncertain, what does Xia Mo think of the banker now?Want a target for revenge?Or a potential ally?Have all the emotional ties between people in this world materialized into real benefits in his eyes?Then what has become of the family affection in his eyes?Potential resources that can be chosen to be utilized or discarded?

Ling Dongzhi didn't have a good impression of Xia Mo at first, so naturally he didn't think so much.On the contrary, he was quite curious about He Qing's source of information, "Where did you find out?"

He Kuan was also very curious about how his younger brother, who never cared about other people's business, found out about these gossips, "Our family has never had any contact with the Cao family."

He Qing had a terrified expression on his face, "You will never guess."

Ling Dongzhi looked at him with contempt, "Yes, you are right. If we guessed it, why would we ask you?"

He Qing didn't care about his attitude, and said with a smile: "Our family has nothing to do with these things, but I can't stand my special profession."

Ling Dongzhi's heart skipped a beat.He Qing what occupation, pet doctor.What does a veterinarian do? Of course, it takes care of cats and dogs.Cherry also said that the Cao family has several dogs.

He Kuan was still a little puzzled, "Your small clinic? It's not a teahouse or restaurant. What news can I get?"

He Qing said with a smile: "There is no need to ask. Cao Mingzhu sent the news to the door herself."

Ever since Zhuang Zhou heard that Xia Mo was going to marry the Cao family, he felt bad all over.Disappointment, worry, and even a vague anger, all kinds of emotions are intertwined, which makes the brain ache.Seeing that Heqing still wanted to show off, he interrupted him recklessly, "Did Cao Mingzhu tell you?"

He Qing looked at Zhuang Zhou's face, and knew that this person had blown his hair and was definitely not suitable for teasing any more, so he said with some regret: "I don't know her either, how can she tell me. She is not a raised Do you have several Chihuahuas? A few days ago, I took my dog ​​to my place for an injection, and when I was on the phone with a friend, I stood next to me, and I heard it."

Zhuang Zhou looked at him expressionlessly, "What did she say?"

He Qing thought about it for a while, then started to play tricks again, pinched his throat and imitated a woman's tone and said: "Oh, I hate it, I know I still ask people... Isn't it him? In fact, his name was not Xia Mo, but Zhuang Mo. Later, his parents divorced, and he changed his surname with his mother... You mean mother-in-law? I haven't met her mother-in-law yet, and I heard that she has a bad temper and is not easy to get along with... Oh, it's not a big problem. If we can't stay together, she doesn't care about me... Just sit down and have a meal together during the New Year holidays... Don't worry, your engagement invitation is indispensable..." After finishing speaking, she spread her hands and made a very helpless expression.

Ling Dongzhi held back his laughter almost to the point of internal injury, but seeing Zhuang Zhou's gloomy face out of the corner of his eye, he didn't dare to laugh blatantly.The blind man also saw that there was something wrong with Zhuang Zhou's expression now.

He Kuan didn't notice Zhuang Zhou's gloomy face, and nodded to himself, "Speaking of which, the Zhuang family, the Xia family, and the Cao family can be regarded as well-matched..."

Before finishing speaking, Zhuang Zhou dropped his chopsticks and got up to leave.

The remaining three people looked at each other, and He Kuan looked at the chopsticks thrown on the table by Zhuang Zhou, then at the back of Zhuang Zhou leaving, and asked Ling Dongzhi very puzzled, "What did I say?"

"It's none of your business." Ling Dongzhi sighed, "It's because he can't think about it."

The author has something to say: Zhuang Er was stimulated for a while~

But he'll figure it out soon.He doesn't need to take care of things at the end of summer~
