Baozi Pet Shop

Lin Xia was about to turn around when she heard the phone ring.

"Aww!" Dad quickly answered the phone, Uncle Mingzong is calling!

"Wow!" Dad, Uncle Mingzong's phone call!Bai Tuanzi groaned and pushed the phone to Lin Xia.

"Okay." Lin Xia picked up the phone and answered the call.

"Lin Xia?" Chen Mingzong's voice was muffled, and he didn't sound very happy.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xia didn't want to touch Chen Mingzong's minefield, so she could only ask cautiously.

"I just told the little hamster that he has a big brother, and he...couldn't wait to see someone..." Chen Mingzong said sadly.In fact, he was squatting in the corner "planting mushrooms" at this time, exuding a terrifying aura of resentment all over his body.

"Really..." Lin Xia laughed and laughed, what else could he say?Certainly nothing can be said.

"But I didn't agree immediately, you should help to see Chen Zhong's attitude first, don't make the little hamster sad..." Although the little hamster wanted to "run away" with others, he still had to overcome difficulties for the little hamster. Let him suffer a little damage.

"Okay." Lin Xia agreed to Chen Mingzong's request without a doubt. After all, Chen Mingzong rarely asks for help.

After the chat, Lin Xia left the phone to Bai Tuanzi and went downstairs to work by herself.After going downstairs, he saw Chen Zhong coming in with a man.Chen Zhong was on weekends this week, so he came over to do volunteer work.He came whenever he was free, trying to bring Ah Huang home as soon as possible.

"Good morning!" Lin Xia greeted with a smile.

"Good morning!" Chen Zhong responded with a smile, dimples appeared on his face when he smiled.The little hamster and Chen Yaoguang also have small dimples, which is very similar to the three brothers of the Chen family.

"This is the person who lives with me. His name is Lu Mou. This is Lin Xia, the owner of the pet shop." Chen Zhong introduced them.

"Boss Lin, hello!" Lu Mou stretched out his hand and laughed heartily.He knew Lin Xia because Chen Zhong had told him when he came home.

Lu Mou is very tall, a head taller than Chen Zhong.Chen Zhong stood with him, as if he was malnourished.Listening to his accent, he has the feeling of a northerner.

"Hello!" Lin Xia shook hands with him.

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Xia took the two of them to do volunteer work.The work they do is not complicated, and it is all related to keeping pets.For example, how to clean pets, how to feed them...

Chen Zhong and Lu Mou took a serious attitude and brought a pen and paper to take notes.The two did not deliberately conceal their relationship, and the unintentional intimacy caused Lin Xia to eat a handful of dog food.

"Where are you from?" Lin Xia seemed to chat with them casually, but in fact he remembered that Chen Mingzong asked him to test Chen Zhong.It can only be said that Uncle Chen Mingzong has a good plan.

"I'm from Harbin, and he's a native of Jiangcheng." Lu Mou has the candid qualities of a northern man, and he's very talkative.Chen Zhong doesn't like to talk, so he is responsible for talking.

"It turns out that you are really from the north. I guessed it from your accent." Lin Xia said with a smile, a few words and a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze, and the distance between the few people was shortened.

"That's right, the accent of our northerners is easy to recognize!" Lu Mou answered.

"Indeed." Lin Xia nodded in agreement, then changed the topic. "Mr. Chen is originally a native of Jiangcheng. I don't know where he is from. Maybe I know."

When Chen Zhong heard this, his heart felt sour, and he said sullenly, "I...I am from Jiangcheng...Wensha County."

"Wensha County? What a coincidence, I happen to know some people from Wensha County." Lin Xia pretended not to notice his emotional changes and continued chatting.

"Really..." Chen Zhong thought of something, his pupils collapsed, as if he lost focus.

"His surname is also Chen, and his name is Chen Yaoguang. He is now studying in high school in the city." Lin Xia seemed to mention it casually, and others just regarded it as ordinary chatter.

But when Chen Zhong heard the third brother's name, his expression changed drastically. He turned around and faced Lin Xia face to face, and said hesitantly, "Chen... Chen Yaoguang is my third brother."

"Really, isn't this a coincidence?" Lin Xia pretended to be surprised, and secretly praised her acting skills.

"Where does he study? I... We haven't contacted for a long time, I want to go and see him." Chen Zhong lowered his head, staring at the cracks in the floor, feeling depressed in his heart.Lu Mou patted him on the back lightly, as if to comfort him.

Since he chose to return to Jiangcheng, he would inevitably meet someone he didn't want to face. Although he had planned to meet, he didn't expect to meet so soon.

"Yaoguang is studying in Jiangcheng No. [-] Middle School." Lin Xia replied, and then asked "cheaply": "Yaoguang said he has two older brothers, are you his eldest brother or his second brother?"

"Phew!" Lin Xia accidentally stepped on Chen Zhong's minefield, and his second brother Chen Yi was Chen Zhong's minefield.He stood up abruptly, clenched his fists tightly, feeling a little out of control.When he raised his head again, he bit his lip with red eyes.

"Did you do it on purpose?" Lu Mou was so distressed that he took Chen Zhong into his arms to comfort him.He finally figured out that Lin Xia seemed to be unintentionally leading the topic on purpose, and turned the topic aside, otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence!

Lu Mou has been in the society for so long, and he has developed his eyesight.I didn't expect that Lin Xia, who seemed very kind, had a premeditated plan!Although he didn't understand why Lin Xia did this.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen..." Lin Xia hurriedly apologized, he didn't expect the little hamster to have a higher status in Chen Zhong's heart than he imagined.If the little hamster didn't hold much weight in Chen Zhong's heart, Chen Zhong wouldn't have such a reaction.

That's heartache and self-blame all over the face, it's already like this on the surface, will it be more painful in the heart?

But at least, Lin Xia can know Chen Zhong's attitude towards the little hamster, and he can let the brothers recognize each other with confidence.

"It's okay..." Chen Zhong has a gentle and generous personality, and he doesn't have too many twists and turns in his heart.He is used to laughing off people or things that hurt him because they don't make him sad.Unless it really hurt his heart and made him sad to despair, he would feel sad.

"Actually, I know about your Chen family, and I also know about Chen Yi." Lin Xia pursed her lips and said.He decided to spread the matter, because the little hamster wanted to see his big brother, and Chen Zhong was so kind to the little hamster, so there was no need to keep it a secret.

"Hmm..." Chen Zhong didn't find it strange, because Lin Xia knew Chen Yaoguang, and it was not surprising to know about his family.

"I think you love Chen Yi very much, don't you?" Lin Xia looked at the thin young man who was hugged by the tall man, and felt sorry for him. "I have good news for you, Chen Yi found it..."

"Ah Yi found it?!" Chen Zhong suddenly turned around and accidentally knocked Lu Mou's chin.But he didn't care at all, because at this moment his mind was on Lin Xia's words.

"That's right." Lin Xia nodded under Chen Zhong's anticipation but fear of being fake.

"Where is Ah Yi?..." Chen Zhong suddenly sat limp on the ground, tears streaming down his face.With his right hand resting on his forehead, the corner of his mouth was grinning, crying and laughing.

Lu Mou squatted down, let Chen Zhong lean on him, and patted him on the back with one hand.Chen Zhong buried his head in Lu Mou's arms, like a wanderer who has not returned home for a long time and found a warm harbor.

"Chen Yi is living with me now, but he is receiving treatment now, and he will come back in the evening." Lin Xia said, but he felt that Chen Zhong should not be able to wait so long.

"Then can I go to him at night..." Unexpectedly, Chen Zhong held back because he didn't want to disturb Chen Yi's treatment.Although he really wanted to see Chen Yi immediately, Chen Yi's health was more important than his own waiting and suffering.

"Of course." Lin Xia nodded.

"Can you tell me about Ah Yi's situation?" Chen Zhong calmed down and asked about Chen Yi's situation rationally.

Lin Xia told him everything she knew about the little hamster, except for Chen Mingzong's intentions.When Chen Zhong learned that his younger brother had lived a homeless life for several years, he was so distressed that his fingers pinched his flesh, leaving red and swollen marks.

"Yesterday he brought a stack of "Five-Year College Entrance Exam and Three-Year Simulation" to show us, he is very precious..." Seeing that the atmosphere was depressed, Lin Xia found a relaxing topic to liven up the atmosphere.

Sure enough, speaking of these, Chen Zhong gradually showed a smile on his face.Thinking of how his second brother loves to study, his eyes softened. "I bought Ah Yi's "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation" for him before. I still remember the way he received the book at that time..."

After Chen Yi went to high school, his parents didn't give him much money. Chen Zhong, who was working outside, gave him money.Half of Chen Zhong's monthly salary is given to his parents, and the remaining half is given to Chen Yi, except for his living expenses.Although his salary is not high, he has always thought about his family.

Once home for the New Year, Chen Zhong bought "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation" for Chen Yi, and Chen Yi was very happy to receive the book.Because many students in his class are already using it, but he has no money to buy it, so he has to borrow someone else's to see.

……

The two chatted and chatted, and they talked about Chen Zhong.Lin Xia was very curious about his working life.Many young people in rural areas will choose to go out to work, and this group is very large.Lin Xia had never been in contact with a factory, so she couldn't help being curious about it.

Both Chen Zhong and Lu Mou are wage earners, they went out early to make a living, and they have a deep understanding of working...

After Chen Zhong graduated from junior high school, he went to Guangdong with the young people in the village.Most of them have poor grades or don't like studying, and envy those who go out to work because they can earn money to support themselves.

Because they were not full, Chen Zhong and the others couldn't get into a good big factory, so they could only work as waiters or enter black factories under the introduction of fellow villagers.They can make money, but they are exhausted every day.

At this time, they discovered that society is not what they imagined.They sell their labor to make money, have no "freedom", and will be bound by rules.Don't think that you can play as much as you want after making money, because they will only be too tired to move after work, let alone go out to play.

Not many young people in the village who came out with him could hold on, and they quit their jobs not long after.After I quit my job, I went to another house, and I quit my job not long after.Chen Zhong didn't ask too much, so he didn't resign with them.He stayed in the first factory until he became an adult, and then changed to a regular factory, and he has achieved what he is now.

Those with a degree like theirs can only be the lowest-level workers, commonly known as production employees, and their status in the factory is the lowest.There are group leaders, group leaders, and line leaders above them... They work 12 hours a day, two shifts, and they work non-stop during work except for breaks.The pace of work and life is very tense, and I always feel that the working hours are very long, and the rest time passes as soon as the eyes are closed and opened, and it is time to go to work again in a blink of an eye.

It doesn't feel good, but that's life.Young people who are not married are fine. They don’t have to support their families, they can do whatever they want, and they can quit their job if they don’t want to work. At worst, they can change to another factory.But the breadwinners are different. They are old and young, and they all count on their wages to live. They have no willful capital.

Chen Zhong felt that he should be like most people, work in a factory to make money, and find a girl who is close to the same factory to marry... Not surprisingly, this should be the trajectory of their lives.

In the end, an accident happened, and Lu Mou was the accident.Chen Zhong entered the second factory, and Lu Mou was the foreman of their production team.The foreman is actually a technician. If the machine breaks down, I will call them.

Lu Mou graduated from a technical school with a technical secondary school education, so he became a technician after entering the factory.Although they are part-time workers, at least they are a small "leader", much better than production employees.

Lu Mou was kicked out of the house for coming out with his family.He went to the south alone to work, planning to hook a boy to be his wife.

Chen Zhong fell into Lu Mou's eyes. The young and skinny Chen Zhong was often joked by the old fritters. Lu Mou appeared at the right time to "save the beauty", and even used his position to chat with Chen Zhong and teach him how to give birth The method, in fact, hooked up with Chen Zhong.

After Lu Mou's hard work, Chen Zhong and him became very good friends, and they talked about everything.

Lu Mou felt that the heat was almost ready, so he confessed to Chen Zhong.Chen Zhong rejected him, because Chen Zhong was normal in nature, and he had never been in touch with homosexuality, so he didn't have that kind of consciousness at all.

Two people can't be lovers, it's embarrassing to be friends.Chen Zhong originally planned to resign after returning from the Chinese New Year, so that everyone would not be embarrassed.But when he went back to celebrate the New Year, Chen Yi was gone.Chen Zhong was completely disappointed with this family, and left Jiangcheng for Guangdong before the Chinese New Year.

He planned not to return to that home, and he would be alone from now on...

Chen Zhong went to the factory, but he couldn't get in even when the factory was on holiday.When he squatted on the street and remembered Chen Yi crying bitterly, Lu Mou appeared in front of him.

Lu Mou held him in his arms distressedly, and his broad chest brought warmth to him.Chen Zhong felt that since he was already like this, he might as well follow Lu Mou.His heart is so tired and painful, and he needs someone to comfort him...

Like a drowning man grasping at straws, Chen Zhong and Lu Mou were only looking for comfort when they were together. At that time, he was a bit self-destructive.But slowly, he fell in love with Lu Mou and really wanted to live with him.

Lu Mou was not willing to be a small foreman. He continued to study and participate in training after work. Chen Zhong was encouraged to learn from Lu Mou.

They have gradually changed from wage earners to managers. Although they still work in factories, it is much easier than before, and their wages have also increased.This year, their factory was going to set up a new factory in Jiangcheng. After discussing it with Lu Mou, Chen Zhong and Lu Mou followed suit.

Prices in Guangdong are high, and housing prices are also high. They would not be able to afford a house there.It might still be possible to return to Jiangcheng.They have no children, they can only rely on themselves for the elderly, and they have to plan for their future.

After the two settled down in Jiangcheng, Chen Zhong wanted to raise a dog.Dogs come to greet them as soon as they return home. This kind of life is exactly what Chen Zhong longs for.Lu Mou asked the neighbors where there is a dog seller, and the neighbor recommended them to go to the story pet store to adopt a dog.

Storyline Pet Shop has a good reputation, the adopted pets are very healthy, and they will teach how to raise pets... Chen Zhong was very moved by hearing this, so he discussed with Lu Mou to go to Storyline Pet Shop to adopt a dog.

Unexpectedly, this was his most correct decision...

The author has something to say: go to the factory to work as a summer job during the summer vacation. There are many boys in the factory, so they can always make up a lot of drama...

The factory is really hard, so study hard...
