Solstice Secrets

Brown Sugar was lying on the steps of the kitchen door, watching his daddy mix minced fish, vegetables and rice, put them into three different small pots, and then gave them to the three wild cats playing in the yard, While backing away a few steps, it still let out a silly cry, and it felt like its glass heart was shattered to the ground.

As the only pet in this family, it certainly enjoyed the service of its daddy cooking.Its daddy is a person who pays attention to nutrition. When bibimbap is given to it, all meat and vegetables are matched in strict proportion.Once he posted a photo of his dog food on the forum, and was praised by everyone as a super caring dog dad.At that time, brown sugar was really proud, it felt that he was simply the happiest dog in the world.

But now, a few days after the stepmother came in, she brought her own child, and then, her dear daddy started cooking for the stepmother's child!

And it's so delicious!

Seeing those silly cats eating the purrs and not even raising their heads, it's really... so pissed off.

And, what's even more annoying is that its father and stepmother are still squatting aside and looking at these silly cats with a smile, as if they are afraid that they will not have enough to eat.No one even thought to look back to see if it had eaten.

Brown Tang angrily pushed away the dog food bowl in front of him, his appetite was so stimulated by this picture of a family like a family.While being angry, Brown Tang was still a little apprehensive. It seemed that his father...was no longer the only child like him!what should I do?

Brown Sugar rested his head on his paws, lost in thought.

A big warm hand was pressed on its head, and a familiar voice sounded above it with a smile, "I haven't finished my meal, brown sugar. Do you have no appetite?"

Its daddy took the dog food bowl and put it under its nose worriedly, "Look, there are chicken and egg yolks, as well as smashed carrots, which are very nutritious."

Brown Tang obediently ate the dog food in the bowl one bite at a time.

Zhuang Zhou rubbed its head, and happily praised, "Good boy."

Brown Tang wagged his tail, looked up at the smile on Daddy's face, feeling a little conflicted in his heart.Its daddy seems to be very happy.Since the complainant came into their house, his daddy has more smiles on his face than ever before. He comes back with a smile every day, and sometimes he brings a bouquet of flowers when he comes back from work, and the complainant will put them in the In the glass vase, the whole living room will be filled with a faint fragrance.

Thinking about it carefully, the family has really changed since the accuser lived in.Even when its father is not at home, there is always a warm atmosphere in the house.There are always people at home, it will not appear so empty, and it will not feel lonely.Sometimes it would lie at the door of the studio and watch him paint, and it would not get bored after watching it all afternoon.When the weather is good, he will take himself out for a walk.Once he also bought a big fluffy marshmallow, which stuck to the fur around its mouth and could not be licked clean for a long time.The sweet taste on the tip of the tongue is like the sun shining on it.

When Brown Tang thought of this, he felt conflicted.If there is only one more person in the family who loves it, then it can still try to accept it.But……

But there are always so many wild cats around him, and once it saw him take out food from his pocket to distribute to stray dogs in the bushes by the roadside, it was a bit unacceptable.Besides, it was the only one in its father's eyes before, and now he has also been influenced by him, and began to pay attention to those cats and dogs outside.

How is this possible?

Brown Tang felt that he had to find a way.

First of all, Brown Sugar decided to choose an ally for himself.

The number one target it selected was Zhuang Lin.First of all, he has a very favorable status. He is his father's younger brother, and has always been taken care of by his father. Not only can he come and go here at will, but he also has a certain right to speak in this family.If he also objected to the complainant living in this house, and hated that there were always a bunch of cats and dogs in the yard, then Brown Sugar's wish would have been half fulfilled.

But Zhuang Lin hadn't been here for the past few days, and he didn't know if his father gave him some orders.It wasn't until the day before the New Year's Eve that he came here happily with a big bag on his back.

Brown Sugar was suddenly excited.I really look forward to the stars and the moon, and I finally look forward to my loved ones!

Brown Sugar rushed over and screamed, excitedly using body language to express that it wanted to play frisbee, so just play with him, it doesn't matter if you play all day!Only by being alone with him can we explore his thoughts and induce him to think about the problems at home from the angle he wants.

Zhuang Lin was flattered, and the big dog's paw holding it was very moved, "Brown Tang, you are finally willing to look at me straight. Now you finally know that I like you the most, right?"

Brown Tang complained in his heart, only fools like you!If it weren't for the fact that you are still useful now, who would be willing to talk to you, you schizophrenia!

Zhuang Lin got bored with it for a while, and ran to find Ling Dongzhi with his backpack in his arms.Zhuang Zhou transformed the guest room on the first floor of his home into Ling Dongzhi's studio, where he stayed most of the day.Brown Sugar followed closely.It had to observe Zhuang Lin's attitude towards this person who suddenly moved into the house.

"Teacher Ling," Zhuang Lin knocked on the door obediently, and when he heard a shout of "Come in" from inside, he carefully pushed open the concealed door, put his head in and asked with a smile, "What are you up to?"

Ling Dongzhi painted on the canvas without looking back, "Do the exercises."

Zhuang Lin immediately flattered him, "Mr. Ling, you have such a high level and practice every day. It's amazing."

Ling Dongzhi asked him with a smile, "You can't do something bad and need me to cover you, right?"

Zhuang Lin quickly clarified himself, "Absolutely not, I guarantee you that I won't fight in the future. A man must mean what he says!"

Ling Dongzhi would not be deceived by him, "What's going on?"

Zhuang Lin walked to Ling Dongzhi's side, and said with a flattering smile: "Mr. Ling, you are really smart."

Ling Dongzhi squinted at him.

Zhuang Lin hurriedly said: "didn't the second child Zhuang enroll me in a class during the holiday, that is, the English class. This teacher is very strict and must sign in every day. I was yesterday... something happened, so I'm fine. Go..." He sneaked a glance at Ling Dongzhi's face, "The teacher wrote a list to my parents, listing my lateness and absences, and asked the parents to sign and write a few words to him."

Ling Dongzhi frowned, "Are you absent from work a lot?"

"Not many, not many," Zhuang Lin hurriedly said, "Only twice. Once for Lin Xiaoyue's birthday, and once for me to visit the Electronic City with Dashan. I promise it will be just two times!"

Ling Dongzhi shook his head, "You must make sure that you are fully present in future classes."

"Definitely, definitely." Zhuang Lin took something out of his bag in a desperate manner.

Black Sugar stood at the door, watching this scene with regret.Since Zhuang Lin has something to ask Ling Dongzhi, it will definitely not work to make him oppose Ling Dongzhi's move in.It despised Zhuang Lin for being bought off so easily, and felt that Zhuang Lin was stupid, even if Ling Dongzhi helped him, he would still tell its daddy later.

Look, it has thought of such a simple thing, but Zhuang Lin is still secretly happy there.

Brown Tang breathed a sigh of relief from his nose, alas, Zhuang Lin is useless, who else can count on him?Besides this younger brother, its daddy seems to have another...

big brother? !

Thinking of the face similar to its daddy, the fur on the back of Brown Sugar unconsciously exploded.That's not the kind of person it can provoke.

Forget it, let's think of another way.

After dinner in the evening, when the two of them were nestling on the sofa and watching TV, Ling Dongzhi really told Zhuang Zhou about it.Zhuang Zhou said that the teacher had already called him.Asking parents to sign something is actually just to deter these children.Since Zhuang Lin had already promised Ling Dongzhi that he would not miss classes after that, he happily pretended not to know about it.The harmonious relationship between his younger brother and his daughter-in-law is also something he is very happy to see.

Zhuang Zhou fiddled with Ling Dongzhi's fingers one by one, while chatting with him, "I prepared a few gifts for my uncles and aunts, and you will bring them with you when you go back tomorrow. Don't be surprised by the many gifts."

"Actually, it's not necessary." Ling Dongzhi leaned against him lazily, "My parents are not something you can just buy with a gift, and if you have a chance to come over in the future, you can buy it again."

"We'll talk about it after the New Year." Zhuang Zhou said understandingly: "The Spring Festival is the most important day of the year. How can I go to make things difficult for the elderly on such an important day?"

Ling Dongzhi glanced at him sideways, "See if you behave well."

Zhuang Zhou said with a smile: "Mutual consideration. I am satisfied with their attitude at this stage." After a pause, he added: "I'm afraid I will go to Shanghai in a few days."

Ling Dongzhi's hand moved slightly.

Zhuang Zhou added: "My mother's problem is not that big. I spent much more time away from her than together, and from my birth to their divorce happened to be the years when the two of them had the most quarrels. She doesn't have extra energy to take care of me at all, and she doesn't have deep feelings for me. But my brother is very powerful, and he has been very powerful since he was a child."

Ling Dongzhi asked curiously: "What's so powerful?"

Zhuang Zhou shook his head, "When my parents first filed for divorce, I didn't know what was going on, but he dared to say in front of my grandfather that he would sever the father-son relationship with my father. Then he really ran away I published it in the newspaper, but was stopped by my grandpa's people. Grandpa was so angry that he whipped him severely. In the end, he left with my mother and even changed his surname. His original name was Zhuang Mo , now it’s called the end of summer. When my parents divorced, it happened to be the end of summer and the beginning of autumn.”

"How old was your brother then?"

"Twelve." Zhuang Zhou smiled helplessly, "Three years older than me."

Ling Dongzhi nodded secretly, for a kid who just entered junior high school in the sixth and seventh grades, he can be so decisive in doing things, he is indeed called amazing.

"My brother used a lot of scheming in order to leave with my mother. Later, with the help of my grandma's family, he finally left." Zhuang Zhou looked somewhat regretful, "At that time, he wanted to take me with him. I left, but the members of the Xia family didn't agree, they were afraid of my grandpa. Besides, my mother's attitude towards me was dispensable, and my brother could only forget about it later."

Ling Dongzhi patted his head, "You're already this big, won't he still be in charge of you?"

Zhuang Zhou pursed the corners of his lips, "It's not necessarily true, but since I'm an older brother, it's still very possible to express my own opinions. If... I mean, if he comes to you, you don't care about anything." Don't tell him, don't agree to anything, just push it to me."

Ling Dongzhi squeezed his chin, "I promised my father, if anyone in your family dares to confront me, I will definitely kick you. I also said the same when your brother came."

Zhuang Zhou smiled wryly, "I just vaccinate you, don't scare me."

Ling Dongzhi raised his eyebrows, "I'll also vaccinate you. Let's get along with each other."

Zhuang Zhou leaned over to kiss him bitterly.

Brown Sugar lying behind the sofa was thoughtful, glanced at the two people who were making a fuss on the sofa, and tiptoed out of the living room.
