Solstice Secrets

Ling Dongzhi owns a second-hand Ford Maverick off-road vehicle, which he bought when he graduated from college.At that time, a group of brothers and sisters in the department wanted to form a group to go to Dunhuang to sketch by car, and Ling Dongzhi bought this second-hand car with the money he had saved for several years from selling paintings.Although I was scolded by my elder brother at the time, it turns out that for a person who often goes to the wilderness to sketch, it is not at all convenient to have a car of his own.

I went to Xi'an during the winter solstice this summer, and I came back just before school started, and the car hadn't had time to be serviced.Looking at it from a distance, such a dusty jeep lying in a sea of ​​shiny cars is really as incongruous as a dirty stray dog ​​mixed into a flock of gaudy pheasants.

Zhuang Lin murmured, "Mr. Ling, your car...is so cool."

Ling Dongzhi always only interprets the meaning of other people's words according to his own mind. When he heard him say this, he immediately showed a look of joy, "It's okay. By the way, where do you live?"

Zhuang Lin looked at him speechlessly, "Teacher, I told you before."

"Uh, is that so?" Ling Dongzhi held the car door and thought for a while, but he didn't have any memory of this, so he shook his head and said, "I don't remember. Sigh, I'm old, I tend to forget things."

Zhuang Lin opened his mouth and closed it again, thinking that he dares to call him old? !He really didn't know that Nanshan Middle School's top ten school grass had been ranked first for two consecutive years?Although no one could clearly explain why the girls who were judging the school grass included him as a teacher, but with him on the throne of the first place, no one dared to argue against it.A handsome guy like Xiao Ye who is sunny, handsome, handsome, and... so what is only ranked seventh.

The two got into the car, and Ling Dongzhi walked through half of Binhai City according to Zhuang Lin's instructions, and turned into Fuxing Garden adjacent to Donghu Park.This area is the top high-end residential area in Binhai City. Although Ling Dongzhi knew that it would not be ordinary people who could send their children to Nanshan Middle School, he was still secretly speechless when he saw the Zhuang family living here.

Donghu Park also visited Ling Dongzhi when I was a child. It was built at the foot of Lianhua Mountain. Springs gushed out of the mountain, forming three lakes of different sizes at the foot of the mountain. The scenery is very beautiful.Probably because there is some emphasis on feng shui, such as attracting wealth or something, rich people like to live in places with mountains and rivers.The air is fresh, and there is no exhaust gas or noise pollution. From the perspective of health preservation, it is also very beneficial to the body.The location of Fuxingyuan is on the mountainside. Standing in front of the iron gate of the farmer, you can see most of the East Lake Park.

Ling Dongzhi couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart the benefits of being rich.

The car stopped outside the iron gate, and a middle-aged man with white sideburns came out to greet him, his gestures were very polite, when he saw Zhuang Linkou he called him "Third Young Master", he looked like a housekeeper.A black and white husky followed at his feet, and when it saw Zhuang Lin, it made a gesture to jump up.

Zhuang Lin quickly pressed it down, rubbed its head, and asked the man eagerly, "Uncle Qi, is my second brother back?"

Uncle Qi shook his head, "Second Young Master asked someone to call and said he was working overtime and would come back later." He glanced at the bruises on Zhuang Lin's face, and asked implicitly, "Do I need to invite Dr. Zhang to come over?" ?”

When Zhuang Lin heard that his second brother was not at home, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. When he turned around, he couldn't hide the joy in his eyebrows, "Mr. Ling, come in and sit for a while. I just happen to have some questions in class I'm asking you for advice."

Uncle Qi seemed a little surprised when he heard him call this handsome man "teacher", but his speech and demeanor were still in the slightest, "Please come in, sir."

Although Ling Dongzhi was also a little curious about what the deep mansions of rich people looked like, but after looking at the sky, he reluctantly gave up this opportunity to satisfy his curiosity.It would take at least half an hour to drive from here to the urban area, and the sky had already turned gloomy. He didn't want to be trapped on the way by a heavy rain.

"No." Ling Dongzhi waved his hand, "Since his parents are not here, then I will tell you the same thing."

Uncle Qi hurriedly said he didn't dare.

Ling Dongzhi talked about Zhuang Lin's fight in the afternoon, focusing on Zhuang Lin's passive fight back and his promise that he would never do it again.In the end, he earnestly asked him to pass on his words of plea to Zhuang Lin's parents, "As a teacher, I still hope that parents will focus on persuasion and education when dealing with students."

Ling Dongzhi is actually not very good at reasoning with students, and his face is really not intimidating, so when he talks to students, he always has a very dogmatic tone.However, it was his tone that immediately made Uncle Qi believe his identity, and quickly understood the meaning behind what he said.

"I will relay what the teacher said to the second young master," Uncle Qi showed a gratified and touched expression on his old face, "Thank you so much for your hard work."

Ling Dongzhi waved his hand, "Let the child have a good rest and pay more attention to diet."

The butler agreed one by one, and Ling Dongzhi was about to get into the car when he heard the husky next to Zhuang Lin's lap barking twice.

Ling Dongzhi paused and turned to look at the big dog.

Zhuang Lin hurriedly said: "This is my second brother's dog, named Brown Tang."

Ling Dongzhi walked over and touched Brown Tang's head, before squatting down in front of it.Brown Sugar seemed a little impatient, and turned his head to the side.Ling Dong said in his heart that he was really a dog, and called him a poor teacher... Who did he learn this from?

Ling Dongzhi smiled and said to the housekeeper: "A few days ago, I attended a lecture by a medical doctor about weight and lifespan. Whether it is a human or a pet, being overweight will affect its lifespan. I think your brown sugar is a bit too heavy gone."

The housekeeper quickly said, "Second Young Master also thought it was a little too heavy last time, so I'll put away all its snacks. Well, I will also reduce the amount of dinner it has in the future."

Brown Sugar's beautiful blue eyes were obviously stunned for a moment.

The butler was still being polite to Ling Dongzhi, "Teacher Ling really knows a lot."

Ling Dongzhi smiled and said: "A poor teacher, who has no other skills, so he knows more about books."

Brown Sugar seemed to understand something, with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

Ling Dongzhi glanced at Brown Tang's shocked expression with a smile, and returned to his car contentedly.When the car started, Brown Tang seemed to have come to his senses, chasing the car and barking a few times.

"Come back to me and speak clearly! Lao Tzu's molar bone, beef tendon balls, beef biscuits... This old man will really put it away for me..."

Ling Dongzhi chuckled, and bared his teeth at it from the rearview mirror.

Zhuang Lin was puzzled, "Brown Tang seems to be reluctant to part with Teacher Ling."

The housekeeper also felt baffled, "Maybe it also thinks your teacher is good-looking."

Brown Sugar chased until the place where the boulevard in front of the villa connected with the Panshan Highway, and then stopped panting heavily.Due to the wind, Zhuang Lin and Guan's words drifted into its ears verbatim, and it was so angry that it almost vomited blood.

"Who the hell doesn't want to part with him? Who the hell thinks he's good-looking? This narrow-minded bastard is so despicable that I just muttered to him... Oh, my snacks..."

Ling Dongzhi happily returned to the living area of ​​Nanshan Middle School before the raindrops started to drip.Mynah in the back building was hanging on the balcony when he saw his car drive up and flop around in the cage twice, shouting at the top of his voice, "Winter solstice, winter solstice! I'll tell you a secret..."

Ling Dongzhi didn't bother to pay attention to this noisy guy, turned quickly, rushed to the parking lot in front of the building to park his car, and trotted up the steps.As soon as he took out the key card from his pocket, the raindrops behind him were already falling.Ling Dongzhi yelled in his heart that he was lucky, and returned to the dormitory on the fourth floor, but he was dumbfounded when the door opened.

"Fuck, how did you all get in?!"

Four or five big cats and kittens were nestling on his sofa in a line, and looked up at the same time when they heard the door knock.Yellow, brown, blue, green, several pairs of big watery eyes looked at him pitifully together.

The winter solstice is full of black lines.

Because of his reputation, cats and dogs often come to him and tell him the stories he has to tell his master.Sometimes when Ling Dongzhi is not at home, they will sneak in along the balcony and wait for him in the house.Ling Dongzhi has no interest in being a confidant brother, so whenever he goes out, he must close the doors and windows.Of course, when the weather is bad, Ling Dongzhi will not be too unkind to those little guys who ask for shelter from the rain, and always leave a gap for them in the balcony windows.But he has a rule that shelter from the rain can only be on the balcony and not allowed to enter the house. He doesn't have the time in the United States to do household cleaning several times a day.

"Winter...winter solstice," stammered the emerald green-eyed tabby cat, "we didn't mean to. There was... just thunder outside!"

The gray short-haired cat with a half-broken tail squeezed beside it hurriedly added, "Lightning, it's scary!"

Several cats nodded together.

Ling Dongzhi stared at them for a while, then reluctantly compromised, "Well, let's not make an example. When did you sneak in? Have you eaten yet?"

Several cats squeezed together, lowered their heads and began to lick their paws, but no one made a sound.

Ling Dongzhi suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.In the next second, he saw the food packaging bags that had been torn all over the floor under the sofa.

"My...storage food..." Ling Dongzhi became angry instantly, "I'm going to fight with you!"
