Solstice Secrets

Zhuang Zhou was angry.

Ling Dongzhi was frustrated to find that Zhuang Zhou was really angry with him this time.Even if he told Xia Mo last time that he was going to kick him, he didn't get angry with him, instead he took the cats and dogs on a long journey to find him.I didn't say a word to blame him when we met.But this time, he actually ignored him. On the night of the quarrel, he slept on the sofa in the living room. Ling Dongzhi purposely left the bedroom door ajar so that he didn't come in.After running in the morning, he went directly to the bathroom of the guest room to take a shower, and went into the bedroom to change clothes while Ling Dongzhi was washing up. When he came out of the bathroom, Zhuang Zhou had already gone downstairs.When Ling Dongzhi pretended to be indifferent and chased downstairs, the guy had already started the car and went out without looking back. Ling Dongzhi watched the car drive out of the gate, staring at his dog son with a gloomy face. Small eyes.

Brown Sugar wagged his tail sympathetically, "You were divorced,"

Ling Dongzhi ground his molars, "Not yet."

"Oh," Brown Tang responded inexplicably, and sat there pondering for a while before asking him, "Are you really going to be divorced by my dad?"

Ling Dongzhi was full of rage, "Anyway, I'm going to be divorced, so I might as well kidnap and sell you first. I'll sell you to the dog meat shop you mentioned when you lied to me last time—since you're looking forward to that kind of plot so much If it happens, I will make your dream come true. I will ask him to chop off a dog leg and bring it back to make hot pot!"

The fur on Brown Tang's back exploded, and he stared at him in horror for a moment, then took two steps back trembling, and fled with his tail between his legs.Its daddy is not at home now, and those evil stepmothers in fairy tales take advantage of this opportunity to kill the poor protagonist, and it does not want to become the poor protagonist in the story at all.

Brown Tang ran two steps, turned around and slapped his paw at Ling Dongzhi.

Midwinter Solstice, "..."

Well, in fact, its hairy paws are only a small ball, and a few fingers can't be separated. Ling Dongzhi can't guess whether it is really giving him the middle finger.But this wretched movement coupled with its angry expression, no matter how Ling Dongzhi looked at it, he felt that his intuition was correct.

"Aren't you tired of living?!" Ling Dongzhi took out the posture of catching a chicken and rushed towards it, "I must sell you!"

As an animal, although Brown Tang doesn't understand the meaning of gesticulating the middle finger, he has watched too many TV shows, and he also knows that the person being gesticulated is usually very, very angry, so he understands it without a teacher. The action of hitting people.Sure enough, seeing it making gestures like this, Ling Dongzhi immediately went berserk.

Brown Tang ran away with his head in his arms, and when he escaped from the side door of the kitchen, he didn't forget to mutter, "You abused me! My daddy will definitely divorce you, definitely will!"

Ling Dongzhi suddenly had the urge to roar up to the sky.Would he be in such a miserable situation, not to mention being surrounded by powerful enemies outside, but still at odds with his allies inside, and beside him are teammates like pigs who are eager for him to be kicked out... This guy seems to have always been dissatisfied with him Will be dismissed very interested, who will tell him why? !

The three cats saw that the atmosphere in the house was not right, so they ran to the yard a long time ago.Ling Dongzhi wandered around the empty room, felt sullen for a while, and decided to go out for a walk to relax, and solve his breakfast problem by the way.

Alas, no one makes a nutritious breakfast every morning...

No wonder Brown Sugar felt that he was going to be divorced.

Ling Dongzhi wandered outside the community and found an early breakfast shop to fill his stomach, and then wandered back.He has no class today and is in a bad mood, so he simply doesn't go to school.Zhuangzhou was angry with him last night, so he naturally didn't fulfill his promise to buy apples with brown sugar on his back, so he had to buy them by himself.

Behind the Yujingyuan, there is a fruit shop near the lake. Ling Dongzhi and Zhuang Zhou often stroll there to buy fruit when they are free at night. In the past, Zhuang Zhou took all the things he bought home with him, but now he has to carry them pitifully. Go home.Ling Dongzhi sighed again, feeling that he was really too tragic.Obviously he was the one being bullied, how did he become so passive in the end?

There was a sound of flapping wings not far away, and then a familiar voice rang in his ears, "Winter Solstice, are you going to class?"

Ling Dongzhi was taken aback, looked up, and saw that mynah behind the previous building was standing unsteadily on the ash tree by the roadside, looking silly at him.

"How did you get out?"

Mynah folded its wings, locked its neck and let out a long sigh, "It's hard to say a word because of bad luck."

The corner of Ling Dongzhi's mouth twitched, "Slowly sigh, I still have something to do, so let's take a step first."

Mynah hurriedly said: "Hey, hey, wait a minute. After finally seeing an acquaintance, why do you not understand my excitement?"

Ling Dongzhi was helpless, "Then tell me, how did you come here?"

Mynah tilted her head, "Do you want to hear a longer story, or a concise version?"

Ling Dongzhi turned his head and left.

"Hey, hey, don't go," Mynah flapped his wings and chased after him, "I'm not kidding you. I'm just so happy to see my acquaintances, I just got carried away for a while."

Ling Dongzhi squinted at it, and suddenly felt that it was quite pitiful, just like him.

Mynah landed on his shoulder unceremoniously, grabbing his shoulder through his shirt with its thin, thin claws, he quickly dodged it so itchy, the mynah swayed twice, and almost fell off his shoulder, "Oh, You stand still, almost fell me. Do you still want to hear my story?"

Ling Dongzhi, "...it seems like someone cares about it."

Seeing that he was going to stretch out his hand to pull himself, mynah stopped making a fuss, and said honestly: "My original master moved, and before leaving, he sent me to his teacher. An old lady in his teacher's family disliked me for being noisy. She gave me to her friend, and her friend went to an old man's house as a guest, and the old man said that my fur was shiny, so she gave me to the old man..."

Mosquito coils appeared in Ling Dongzhi's eyes, "Who is your current master?"

"An old man." Mynah said: "He has a bad temper, and his children and grandchildren don't like him. But he is okay with me. Otherwise, he wouldn't come out for a walk and take me with him."

Ling Dongzhi was puzzled, "Where's your master?"

Mynah looked around and flapped his wings on the back of his neck, "There!"

Ling Dongzhi walked a few steps forward, and saw a gray-haired old man sitting on a wooden chair by the lake, looking at the calm lake, thinking about something.The two thick hairs are slightly wrinkled, and they look quite majestic.Ling Dongzhi thought to himself that it's no wonder he has a bad relationship with his family, he's always so fierce, that's why he likes him.

Seeing the master, Mynah left Ling Dongzhi and flapped his wings and flew over, and stopped at the old man's legs with a flattering expression on his face.The old man seemed to be startled by it, and raised his head to look at Ling Dongzhi.

Being looked at by a strange old man like this, Ling Dongzhi couldn't keep silent, so he smiled at him, "Master, this is your pet, right? It flew over there just now."

The old man looked at him seriously, his eyes fell on the bag in his hand, and he swept it away.

Such an unfriendly old man is really not cute.Ling Dongzhi shrugged, and when he turned to leave, he heard the old man say, "Little friend, can I share some of the fruit in your pocket?"

Ling Dongzhi looked at him with some horror. Could this be begging in disguise? This old man doesn't look like a beggar at all.He was puzzled, but he obediently took the bag in his hand, which meant to let the old man choose by himself and see what he wanted.Anyway, it's just a few fruits, and it's not a valuable thing.

The old man was not polite, he picked out two loquats from inside, peeled off the skin and handed them to Mynah next to him.

Ling Dongzhi stared at him dumbfounded. Did he ask for fruit to feed the birds? !Is this mynah very happy, and has a local tyrant, or a fake local tyrant owner? !

Mynah ate the loquat triumphantly, pecked at the splashed juice on his paws, and complained in a low voice, "What kind of broken loquat, it's not sweet at all, and bananas are more delicious." After speaking, he looked at the loquat with hope Look at the solstice.

Seeing the old man peeling off another loquat, Ling Dongzhi couldn't help reminding, "I think it likes bananas more."

The old man gave him a sideways look, then peeled off the loquat in his hand calmly, and handed it to Mynah's mouth.

Mynah, "..."

Midwinter Solstice, "..."

Granny jumped back two steps sadly.It expressed its own meaning through Ling Dongzhi's mouth, why did the old man still feed him loquats?

The old man glanced at Ling Dongzhi again, this time there was obvious hesitation in his eyes.

Ling Dongzhi broke off a banana and handed it to the old man with great foresight. Mynah's wish was fulfilled, and he jumped over happily, before peeling the banana slice, he stabbed it with his mouth.

There was a smile line on the corner of the old man's mouth, and he asked Ling Dongzhi without raising his head, "How do you know it wants to eat bananas?"

Ling Dongzhi was tired after walking with a fruit bag for a long time. Someone talked to him and sat down next to him. He smiled and said to the old man: "I guessed it. I always thought that I have a magical talent to understand small animals." .”

The old man shook his head, "Young people are quite talkative."

"It's not a lie." Ling Dongzhi stretched out his hand and gently touched Mynah's back, "Animals have very simple minds, so I can see what they want to express from their eyes."

Mynah was at the side dismantling the stage very disrespectfully, "There's no point in talking nonsense!"

Midwinter Solstice, "..."

The old man said again: "Then tell me, what is it thinking now?"

Ling Dongzhi tapped Mynah's head lightly, "Just like you, it also thinks I'm talking big."

The old man laughed and turned his head to give him a deep look.

Ling Dongzhi rested for a while, and was about to get up to leave when the old man asked him again, "Do you live here?"

Ling Dongzhi knew that he was talking about Yujingyuan, so he nodded, "My wife lives here, and I will move in with him."

The old man's gaze became meaningful, "Don't you feel pressure to live in your lover's house? You are also a man."

Ling Dongzhi looked at him carelessly, "If I depended on him financially, I would probably feel pressured. But I'm not. It's not that I don't have a place to live, nor do I want to covet him, why would I feel uncomfortable?"

When the old man was asked, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes changed slightly, "Then do your parents know? Do they agree?"

"I know." Ling Dongzhi nodded, "They are the closest people to me in this world, no matter what kind of things I will not hide from them. As for agreeing or not, I am already an adult, and they will give I have enough respect and will not easily interfere with my decision."

The old man muttered to himself, "...respect?"

"Of course it's respect." Ling Dongzhi knew that people of this age are sometimes very stubborn, and tried to explain something to him, "If they treat me as a child who is unable to arrange my own life, they will point fingers and replace me." I make decisions. If they treat me as an adult, they will give me full trust and let me make my own decisions."

The old man nodded irresponsibly, with a slightly complicated look in his eyes.

Ling Dongzhi felt that he was also a little bored, so he sat by the lake with an old man he didn't know and chatted his teeth.But the weather was fine and the sun was warming him, so he didn't want to get up when he sat down.Besides, Zhuang Zhou was not at home, and he didn't want to go back so soon, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with sitting for a while longer.

"Old man, do you live here too?" Ling Dongzhi felt that it was not good to ask others to ask him every time, so he tried to initiate a topic.

The old man shook his head, "I live in a nursing home."

Ling Dongzhi thought of what Mynah said that the old man had a bad relationship with his family, no wonder he would go to the nursing home by himself, and couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.When Ling's father and Ling's mother are old, he won't let them go to a nursing home. What fun can there be in living with a group of strangers?

The old man probably saw this meaning from his expression, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "You don't think it now, because your parents are not old yet. Getting old is very troublesome."

Ling Dongzhi didn't take this statement seriously, "My parents won't be troubled when they get old, they are all reasonable people, if the older generation and the younger generation are considerate of each other, life won't be troublesome at all."

The old man looked at him meaningfully, "Be considerate of each other? But today's children don't understand the old man's kindness. My son is like that. He has to be with the girl I despise, alas."

It stands to reason that other people's family affairs have nothing to do with Ling Dongzhi, but the old man's words reminded him of the mess in Zhuangzhou's family, and he couldn't help frowning, "May I ask, your son is an adult Yet?"

The old man laughed, "I'm already at this age, do you think my son is an adult?"

Ling Dongzhi asked again, "How is his intelligence? Is his brain... normal?"

The old man was displeased, "How do you talk, kid?"

Ling Dongzhi asked him back, "He is already an adult, and his brain is fine, why can't he choose a life partner by himself?"

The old man fell silent.

Ling Dongzhi didn't like such an old man, and his tone showed a slight sense of alienation, "Old man, do you have anything to avoid?"

The old man didn't know why he asked this, and he was taken aback for a moment before he said, "I don't eat celery."

"If other people think celery is delicious, nutritious, and it lowers blood pressure and fat, it has many benefits, so they insist on forcing you to eat it?"

The old man laughed, "If you don't like it, you don't like it, and you can't eat it even if you force it."

"If you don't like it, you can't eat it. This kind of mentality is insurmountable. It can only be said that everyone's needs and preferences are different." Ling Dongzhi looked at him lightly, "Then what kind of person you choose to like is also the same. A thing that no one else can force."

The old man was silent for a moment, "You are very talkative, kid."

"I don't know what else I can do to deal with those who persecute me other than understanding the truth." Ling Dongzhi looked at the old man with a meaningful look in his eyes, "Actually, I really hope they can understand a simple Reason: Human hearts are fleshy, and persecution and pressure can never be exchanged for the sincere respect of others.”

The author has something to say: Old man: You are a very talkative kid Ling Dongzhi: I already gave you a discount...
