Solstice Secrets

The Granny Gu mentioned by Xiaoba is an old lady who has been setting up a stall in the vegetable market near the teaching area all year round.It is said that her home is in the back mountain, and the family contracted several acres of apple orchards, and also grew some vegetables along with it.Ling Dongzhi likes her apples the most, they are sweet and crisp.Put one on the window sill, and the studio will be filled with sweet fruity fragrance all day long.

It was unfortunate that Lingdong Solstice went, except for a few vegetables, there were only apples and a kind of late-ripening crispy peach on Grandma Gu's stall, and there was no sweet corn that Little Eight wanted to eat.Ling Dongzhi could only buy a few catties of apples, and had someone peel two sugar canes, intending to take these things back to comfort Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu who were frightened.

There are many people and cars near the vegetable market, and the streets are narrow. When Ling Dongzhi came over, he deliberately parked his car in the parking lot near the fountain square in the distance.At noon, the vegetable market is busy, but there are not many idle people in the square.When Ling Dongzhi walked over with a few plastic bags, he saw a middle-aged man in a gray coat walking with a husky from a distance.The middle-aged man looked familiar, but the dog in his hand looked more than familiar.

Ling Dongzhi wondered why he saw the dealer's pet dog here.Although it is not far from Yujingyuan, if you are walking your dog, most people should go in the direction of Bibo Lake. After all, there are fewer people and the place is more open.However, he only knew Zhuang Lin's family members, so he naturally didn't know what kind of habits they had in their family.

The butler Mr. Zhuang Lin called Qibo saw Ling Dongzhi from a distance, and smiled.Instead, Brown Tang had a doggy face, and his blue eyes were fierce, full of disdain.

"Teacher Ling, what a coincidence." Uncle Qi walked towards him, pulling Brown Tang's leash, "Did you just get off work?"

"Yeah, I just got off work and went out to do some shopping." Ling Dongzhi still had a good impression of this kind-hearted middle-aged man, seeing him take the initiative to greet him, he smiled and replied: "Uncle Qi, are you going for a walk?"

Uncle Qi smiled and said, "Brown Tang has had stomach problems for the past two days. I took it to the doctor and just came back."

Ling Dongzhi knew that this young master dog was being taken care of very well, so he wasn't too worried. He just followed his words and asked, "What does the doctor say? It's not serious, right?"

People who keep pets are probably very happy that their babies are cared about by others. Uncle Qi also had a very happy expression on his face, "It's not serious, just ate greasy things."

Uncle Qi hadn't finished speaking when the brown sugar suddenly fell to the ground, whimpering and twitching.Ling Dongzhi was taken aback by this unexpected situation, the first thought that came to mind was: epilepsy? !

Before he could figure out whether the dog would have epilepsy, he heard Brown Tang whimpering and whimpering, "It hurts to death...a broken bone is stuck in my throat...ah, it's bleeding..."

Ling Dongzhi hurriedly said: "It has something stuck in its throat, right? Is it a bone?"

Mr. Butler, who seemed to be taking good care of Brown Tang, didn't react to Brown Tang's situation from the beginning to the end. He didn't show worry, nor was he startled like him.Ling Dongzhi faintly felt that something was wrong, and when he looked up, he saw Qibo's helpless expression.

"Teacher Ling, I'm sorry, I made you laugh." Uncle Qi bent down and patted Brown Tang on the head, and said with a doting smile, "Brown Tang is just playing with you."

As if to prove his words, Brown Tang, who was lying on the ground and twitching, got up, shaking his fur while grinning and groaning, as if laughing at the fuss of the midwinter solstice.

"Play dead?!" Ling Dongzhi was horrified, thinking what the hell kind of monster is this, who can even play such a difficult scene as pretending to be dead? !

Brown Sugar flicked his tail at him mockingly, "SB."

Midwinter Solstice, "..."

This shit isn't a joke at all, it's a blatant trick, okay?Ling Dongzhi looked at the dog with a bad personality expressionlessly, "Is it always like this?"

Uncle Qi nodded helplessly, while raising his hand to make a pistol shape towards it, "Bang!"

Brown Tang fell to the ground in response, and his hind legs shook twice in a very dramatic way.

Midwinter Solstice, "..."

Brown Tang rolled over and got up from the ground, chattering like he was laughing.

Ling Dongzhi really had a feeling of collapse, thinking what kind of evildoer could train such a monster, what the fuck.

Uncle Qi didn't notice Ling Dongzhi's collapsed expression at all, and with a smile on his face, he ran his fingers along the rumpled dog hair on Brown Tang, and his tone was quite proud, "Brown Tang is smarter than other dogs, San Shao played with it once and it learned it. Guests who don't understand the situation are always surprised by it."

Ling Dongzhi nodded numbly, "It's pretty smart."

Not only is he smart, he's almost perfect!

"Take your time, I'm going back to school first." Ling Dongzhi felt that his face would crack if he stayed any longer.

Uncle Qi waved goodbye to him enthusiastically, "Teacher Ling, go slowly."

The arrogant dog spirit howled like a wolf.

Ling Dongzhi hurriedly quickened his pace.

"Where is this sugar cane?" Xiao Ba lowered his head and pecked at a sweet stalk on the window sill, muttering dissatisfiedly, "It's obviously a sweet stalk from the crop field. You really don't work hard on the winter solstice and don't know the five grains."

"Isn't this sweet?" Ling Dongzhi didn't take its complaints seriously, he thought the sweet stick tasted quite good.

Xiao Ba shook his head and sighed, "It's only been a few months, and the sugar cane will take another two months to buy."

Although Ling Dongzhi is not an idiot in life, he really doesn't understand many common sense in life.He is a mild-tempered person, and he is not particular about material things. He is not picky about such a big issue as eating, so what else should he care about?Ling's father and Ling's mother always said that he was lazy, but in fact, being lazy was only one aspect, and he really didn't care too much about life.

Xiao Ba pecked at the sweet stick for a while, and began to be dissatisfied with Ling Dongzhi, a behemoth that snatched rations from it, "Why don't you go to paint, and still grab food from me here?"

Ling Dongzhi picked up a new sweet stick, bit off a large piece, and said vaguely: "My works are all ready."

Xiao Ba looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, the huge drawing board in the corner of the room was covered with a layer of dustproof cloth.The floor in the studio was mopped clean, and the paint brushes were neatly arranged, which was completely different from the messy scene some time ago.

Xiao Ba was a little disappointed, "Ah, the painting is finished so soon?"

"Not so fast?!" Ling Dongzhi bit the sweet stick and glared at it, "I've been drawing for almost half a year!"

Xiao Ba resented, "Didn't you always say that you should hold yourself to high standards?"

"That's a combination of work and rest." Ling Dongzhi spit out the dregs in his mouth, bent two fingers and flicked Xiao Ba's head, "I will be sent to clean up the exhibition hall in two days. That's working as a coolie, why don't you allow me to rest for two days?"

Xiaoba shook it twice, and pressed the last sweet stick quickly, "This one is mine!"

Ling Dongzhi resentfully let go, and licked his lips eagerly.

Xiao Ba grabbed the last sweet stick, was in a good mood, and hypocritically expressed concern about the problem Ling Dongzhi mentioned, "Why do you need to clean up the exhibition hall?"

Ling Dongzhi nestled on the sofa and sighed, "Every school has to recruit people to go there. Lu Xing's works are not ready yet, so I am the only one who can go to our school."

"Why is this?" Xiao Ba was annoyed, and then began to worry about his own food, "You go to decorate the exhibition hall, can you go back to school for lunch at noon?"

"He who has no conscience knows how to eat!" Ling Dongzhi wanted to play it again bitterly, but Xiao Ba cleverly dodged it, "The convention and exhibition center is in the city center, and it takes at least four or ten minutes to go back and forth. Are you coming back for dinner?"

Xiao Ba sighed, "Oh, there is no broken bread to eat."

Ling Dongzhi thought for a while, "Don't worry, I can arrange the feeding for the students."

Xiao Ba was happy for a while, and then began to worry about new problems, "Will your students forget? Is it reliable?"

Ling Dongzhi assured it, "It is absolutely reliable."

"Okay then." Xiao Ba was dubious and told him helplessly, "It's better to prepare some chopped nuts. Well, it's better to have the kind wrapped in syrup."

Ling Dongzhi sneered, "You have a good idea."
