In Lu Yao's eyes, Rhubarb is more spiritual and wolf-like than the dogs in the village.
Duan Minghua smiled and said, "No, military dogs will not retire until they are eight years old if they are not injured and are responsive. Dahuang followed me after the full moon. Although Dahuang is not a military dog, he is just the child of a military dog."
Lu Yao said in understanding, "So that's it. No wonder Rhubarb is so powerful."
Duan Minghua touched Dahuang's head, "Dahuang has entered old age, and his mother is being taken care of by professionals. I want to discuss it with you. I plan to take Dahuang to his mother, who will take better care of her." Well, rhubarb will also have a longer lifespan, and we can visit it anytime we miss it."
Gu Fulan was stunned at first, "Boss, do you want to take Dahuang away? Dahuang can still look after the door at home."
Lu Yao lowered her head and said nothing.
These are the different concepts of the two generations.
What the mother-in-law is worried about is that after Da Huang is gone, there will be no dog to guard the house.
They young people feel that with Dahuang gone, they have lost a relative.
Recently, rhubarb is indeed not as vigorous as it was a year ago. If it can live a good life in its old age, it can be done anywhere.
Duan Mingjie looked down at Dahuang with some reluctance, "Brother, when will you take Dahuang away? I will go with you to see the environment there."
Duan Minghua: "Tomorrow."
Duan Mingjie looked over suddenly, "So urgent?"
"My brother and sister are pregnant. Even if you give Rhubarb a bath every day, it will still have bacteria on it, which is not good for my brother and sister. After I return to the army, I plan to go back to my hometown. I want to put Rhubarb away before I go back to my hometown."
Duan Mingjie: "Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."
After dinner, Lu Yao went back to the house and lay down, feeling a little sad thinking about Dahuang being sent away.
“Why can’t dogs live as long as humans?”
In this case, there is no need to separate.
Duan Mingjie was reluctant to leave Dahuang, but his elder brother was right, it was more professional there, and Yaoyao was also pregnant, so Dahuang was indeed not suitable at home.
"Let's go see it more in the future."
Lu Yao hummed.
Duan Minghua knocked on the door outside, "Lao San, can I come in?"
Lu Yao sat up and Duan Mingjie said, "Brother, the door is unlocked, come in."
Duan Minghua opened the door and came in.
"Yaoyao, do you feel uncomfortable at home?"
Lu Yao: "It's much more comfortable than the hospital. The hospital smells of disinfectant and medicine, which makes it uncomfortable."
Duan Minghua: "That's good."
With that said, Duan Minghua took out a stack of large amounts of unity from his pocket and placed it on the bedside table.
Duan Mingjie frowned, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Duan Minghua curled his lips, "My children and I live in your house, so of course we have to pay for food."
Duan Mingjie pursed his lips, picked up the money and stuffed it back into Duan Minghua's pocket, "It's your house and mine, how mean. Yaoyao and I are both happy that you are willing to live at home, so don't do this."
Lu Yao also said, "Brother, take the money. Duan Mingjie has earned a lot of money. You can save the money and marry Zhiwei in the future."
Speaking of Zhiwei, Duan Minghua was grateful, "My mother told me that you and your wife bought a homestead for Zhiwei and spent a lot of money. You treat the two children as your own children. I am your biological father." Not as good as you."
Lu Yao: "Brother, don't say that. You have your own difficulties. We can all understand."
Duan Minghua took out the money again and put it on the table, "You can keep the money for Zhiwei and Yanyan. I'm a grown man, I don't know how to manage money, and I have no place to use it. You two, don't argue with me."
Duan Mingjie thought for a while, "Okay, I will exchange the money into gold and save it in a few days when I have free time."
Duan Minghua has no objection.
"Brother, when you and your mother go back, you must not start a dispute with your sister-in-law's family. Soldiers are not allowed to attack civilians. It's not easy for you to get to where you are today. Don't act impulsively and do something irreversible. My sister-in-law is underground, and she can't do anything. I don’t want you to throw away this uniform for her.”
Duan Minghua: "Don't worry, I won't be impulsive."
Lu Yao said on the side, "If you have anything to do, let me tell you. If it doesn't work, call the police."
Duan Minghua forced a smile and said, "Okay, I remember it."
Not long after Duan Minghua left, Duan Mingming came over and handed Lu Yao fifty yuan.
Lu Yao couldn't laugh or cry.
The whole family asked her to take care of money.
Duan Mingcheng and his wife returned to school after staying in the capital for two days. Duan Mingming also went back after the holiday. Duan Mingjie and Duan Minghua delivered the rhubarb to the destination together.
There are many dogs inside, and Dahuang quickly adapted to the new environment after entering.
Watching Dahuang playing with other dogs, Duan Mingjie suddenly smiled.
"Yes, all the worries before were unnecessary."
Duan Minghua laughed, "They still have more in common."
After settling the rhubarb, the brothers went back, and Duan Minghua and Gu Fulan packed up and returned to their hometown.
After seeing off his eldest brother and mother, Duan Mingjie went to the construction site to explain that he would go back to accompany Lu Yao.
The weather is very nice on this weekend.
Duan Mingjie moved the wicker chair, took Lu Yao out, and let her lie half on the wicker chair.
Lu Yao has been discharged from the hospital for five days. She went to the hospital for a review yesterday. The doctor said she can get out of bed and walk around early and can go to school next Monday.
Duan Mingjie found the flower seeds that Guzi had brought, found two hoes, and called Duan Zhiwei to clear up wasteland in the yard.
Duan Yanyan was accompanying Lu Yao, and the two of them ate melon seeds and apples.
Duan Zhiwei was very tired. He turned around and saw the two of them eating raisins happily. He put his hands on his hips and said, "Little aunt, do you know what you look like now?"
Lu Yao was stunned, "What does it look like?"
"You are like the stupid wife of a landlord."
Lu Yao grabbed the peeled melon seeds and threw them at Duan Zhiwei, laughing and scolding, "You are stupid!"
"Ouch--"
Just as Duan Zhiwei was about to speak, Duan Mingjie kicked him in the butt.
Duan Zhiwei covered his butt, "Uncle Third, didn't I just tell the truth? As for kicking me?"
Duan Mingjie: "Work!"
Duan Zhiwei rubbed his butt and went back to work.
When Zheng Weiguo came over, he saw Duan Zhiwei working angrily with his butt stuck out, while his daughter giggled at the side.
"Why are you laughing so happily?"
Lu Yao was attracted by the green seedlings in Zheng Weiguo's hand, "Dad, what are you holding?"
Zheng Weiguo handed it to Duan Mingjie: "Try planting strawberry seedlings to see if they can survive."
Lu Yao hurriedly came over and said, "You haven't been here these past few days, so you went to get this for me?"
Zheng Weiguo rubbed the back of her head, "Strawberries are more delicious than hawthorns, sour and sweet."
Lu Yao hadn't eaten strawberries yet. She had only seen them in books. She hugged Zheng Weiguo and said, "Dad, you are so awesome!"
This was the first time Lu Yao took the initiative to hug him. Zheng Weiguo was a little at a loss, but also very happy. He wanted to give her all the good things, "What else do you want to eat, I will get it for you."
Lu Yao let go of him and said, "No need, we have other fruits in the capital. When summer comes, there will be more fruits."
Zheng Weiguo rolled up his sleeves, and together with Duan Mingjie planted strawberry seedlings and sprinkled flower seeds on both sides of the yard.
Lu Yao felt a little happier imagining that the yard would be filled with flowers in a few months.
Zheng Weiguo had dinner at home before leaving.
When Lu Yao went to school on Monday, Duan Mingjie picked her up as soon as Lu Yao finished school.
As soon as he walked to the door of his house, he saw Duan Zhiwei's class teacher Zhang Shengwen waiting at the door.
The two thought something happened to the child again, so they walked over quickly. After asking, they found out that Duan Zhiwei had a fight with someone at school.
