Next, Li Xiangdong and Yang Hanlin continued to be busy making money. Zheng Cheng also concentrated on his studies, and his life continued to be calm.
That night, Zheng Cheng passed the alley after school and suddenly heard a faint cry. The flashlight followed the sound, and it turned out to be a puppy, lying beside a pile of bricks.
Zheng Cheng curiously walked over to it, but it didn't move. He bent down and touched its little ear with his finger. Unexpectedly, the little guy turned his head and bit. His teeth hadn't grown up yet. He looked really cute and fierce.
Zheng Cheng was very happy. He should be a good housekeeper in the future. I picked it up carefully and checked it carefully. Then I noticed that its right front leg was lame.
"Little thing, since no one wants you, follow me later!" Gently shunned its back, and Zheng Cheng carried it home.
This evening, he could not find any milk for a while, so he simply made some egg custard, which could also be eaten.
But the dog's leg was broken somehow. It needs to be connected quickly. There was no veterinarian here, so Zheng Cheng simply found a medicine box and handled it with some common sense about keeping dogs before.
After finding a cardboard box, Zheng Cheng put some rags on it as his nest. Afraid it would be too cold outside, he put the box on the bed.
"You picked it up from the brick stack. I will call you brick in the future!"
Before the break, Zheng Cheng casually decided the name of the dog.
Early the next morning, Zheng Cheng was awakened by the sound of bricks. This little thing was very annoying when he was constantly picking up the paper box.
Take out the eggs left unfinished yesterday, soak them in hot water, and put the plate in the carton.
It's already very late this season. It's more than five o'clock in the morning, but nothing can be seen outside. After washing, Zheng Cheng finally looked at the sleeping bricks and turned out of the room.
……
October passed in a flash, and the time soon came to November. Several fierce north winds blew, and the leaves on the tree had almost fallen. At first sight, there were only bare branches, which made the bleak more intense.
Zheng Cheng has changed into a sweater. He bought it himself. It's new! From childhood to adulthood, he finally stopped wearing his brother's old clothes.
Unconsciously, it has been half a year since Zheng Cheng was born again. He has experienced many things and changed many things. Fortunately, now he has undoubtedly got a better start in life and more choices. However, in the dead of night, he sometimes couldn't help thinking about what kind of life he wanted to lead? He didn't understand what he was doing back then, but now he is still confused.
For more wealth? Or more beautiful love? Probably.
After one month, the bricks also grew very fast, a big circle larger than the beginning. It's just that its legs are not sharp yet, but it's not a big problem. It can already jog along.
What bothered Zheng Cheng was that this little thing was so lively and powerful that it scratched several cartons. Later, Zheng Cheng simply put it everywhere in the yard.
It was the weekend again. In the evening, Zheng Cheng, who had read all day in the yard, planned to go for a walk.
"Brick! Will you go out?" Zheng Cheng found the dog rope and shouted at the bricks facing the chicken and duck fences.
Bark, bark!
Brick turned his head and looked. Seeing the dog rope in Zheng Cheng's hand, he ran over excitedly.
When the dog was tied, Zheng Cheng pulled it out of the door.
Compared with Sheng Xia, the streets of this meeting are much more lively, almost visible to the naked eye, and the roadside stalls are increasing. Zheng Cheng also saw many familiar faces, most of them were in the same alley with him, probably also workers of the original wine factory.
At the gate of the meat shop, the bricks suddenly stopped and shouted at the stall.
"What are you looking at? I won't let you eat any more. Let's go!" Zheng Cheng grabbed the dog rope and said. He doesn't agree with this little thing. If it is bigger, it will tear down the yard.
Dong!
At the intersection not far away, a popcorn machine gave off a burst of white smoke, and then I saw children running to pick up the scattered popcorn.
Zheng Cheng didn't want to eat meat. He wanted to eat popcorn. He even took the bricks with him.
"Master, how did you buy this?" Zheng Cheng asked.
"It's five cents or two." The popcorn maker just collected the popcorn, then he put out a palm and replied.
In the countryside, most farmers exchange corn kernels. But in the city, people don't have corn at home, so they have to collect money.
"One or two." Zheng Cheng touched a coin and handed it over.
"OK." The master took the money, weighed it, and found a piece of paper to wrap the popcorn quickly.
It's not convenient to take things with the dog rope. Zheng Cheng simply tied the dog rope to the corner of his coat and ate popcorn while walking.
Before he knew it, Zheng Cheng walked near the school and was about to walk around the campus when a loud noise came from the nearby residential houses.
"...... He is your son, so I am not your daughter!...... Why should I spend time to help him study? I also want to take the college entrance exam! You are just biased......"
"You little girl, keep your voice down. That's your brother! Shouldn't it be?"
Zheng Cheng stood on tiptoe curiously to see the situation, but the courtyard wall was too high to see the courtyard.
Bang!
There was a dull noise, the courtyard door suddenly opened, and then a figure ran out.
"Zhang Shu?" Zheng Cheng said in surprise when he saw the man.
No wonder he felt his voice was familiar just now. It turned out that this was Zhang Shu's house!
Seeing Zheng Cheng, Zhang Shu wiped his eyes and greeted him with some tears: "Zheng Cheng... What a coincidence!"
"Well, what a coincidence... Did you quarrel with your family?" Zheng Cheng looked at the courtyard where the noise was still coming out and asked.
"Hmm." Zhang Shu lowered his head and whispered: "Sorry to make you laugh."
"That's no joke. Who hasn't quarreled yet?" Zheng Cheng advised with some embarrassment.
Alas, I knew he wouldn't come here. It's always uncomfortable to see the embarrassment of acquaintances.
In fact, he had already known that Zhang Shu had some conflicts with his parents, but he did not expect such a serious situation. I'm afraid this situation is not a temporary problem.
"Are you free now?" Zhang Shu suddenly asked.
"Ah? Oh, free, I'm walking my dog." Zheng Cheng shook the dog rope in his hand and said.
"Walking the dog?" Zhang Shu looked at Zheng Cheng doubtfully, then looked carefully, and found a small brick.
"You mean it? Such a small dog!" Zhang Shu burst into tears and smiled.
Bricks were originally at the peak of their loveliness. In addition, they would sleep on Zheng Cheng's feet. How funny.
"It's called brick. I picked it up a while ago, so I kept it." Zheng Cheng raised his foot and explained.
"Brick? That's a real name."
Zhang Shu smiled and asked, "Well, I want to go around the neighborhood. Would you like to go with me?...... I dare not walk around alone at night."
"All right!" Zheng Cheng had to nod.
They all said so, and he didn't refuse to agree. Moreover, he was also very happy.
