Chapter Seventy-Three: It's Like a Patrol
Lying in bed at night, Gulan continued to make the list. The puppy Mao Mao hid behind her, silently motionless, breathing slowly and long, occasionally gasping like a human sigh. Occasionally, the small mouth will make a slight chewing sound like an old cow's rumination, which is particularly gentle.
Mao Mao especially likes to hide behind people. Whether on the couch, in the chair, or now in bed, it can only be quiet when it lies down behind Guran. When it was young, when it could not jump on the bed or sofa on its own, it would stand up on its two little hind legs, and its two little front legs would lie on the edge of the bed or the edge of the sofa, stretching out its long, thin tongue, and jumping back and forth all the time, "Hadahada".
Jumping from one end to the other, and from one end to the other, sometimes for about 10 minutes in a row. Until Gulan picked it up, it slowly arched behind Gulan, clinging to Gulan's body, curled up and rested.
Maomao's body is fluffy and warm, especially on rainy days or windy and snowy days, when Gulan's waist is uncomfortable, it conveys that dry warmth, and Gulan will feel as comfortable as ironing a small iron. Gülen liked the feeling, and he felt sorry for his unscrupulous dependence on people.
Maomao is very sensible and obedient, and the family likes it very much. The son specially bought a small house made of flannel cloth for it from the Internet, and originally wanted it to sleep there. But every night, when Gulan saw it bouncing back and forth in front of the bed, the begging, the attachment, and the persistence revealed in the round, swarthy eyes, he couldn't help but let it jump to his side, and not let him stay alone in the empty room.
Maomao is also very memorable. When he was young, he always liked to sprinkle water in the room, and he always liked to sprinkle it in the corners. Guran reprimanded it and gently hit it, to no avail. After wiping it off, it goes back the next day.
Later, Guran thought that this might be its nature. Doesn't it say that cats remember 800 and dogs remember 1,000, and that no matter how far they go, they can always find the smell they have sprinkled and go home, so let it scatter it. Sure enough, after trying this a few times, it stopped going there every day to sprinkle water. Instead, it waited for the morning and evening when the Güran went to slip through it before it dealt with its own problems.
Sometimes Gulan is busy with work and comes back late in the day, and Maomao always waits for her to come back to deal with it. If the Guran came back late and tired, he would open the door and tell him to sprinkle water, and he would run down on his own, and when he was done, he would run back again.
No matter how free you are, you will never run around because you haven't gone out for a day, which is very reassuring. Gulan also observed that sometimes in order not to make trouble at home, he even endured not eating or drinking until Gulan returned, and then let it go down to deal with it before returning to make up for food and drink.
A sensible puppy like this, when Gulan doesn't go out at work, he likes to take it with him. It is also used to it, and as soon as it gets off the stairs, it runs to the car and waits there. If you don't drive a car, it will turn back and follow in the footsteps of Gulan.
Normally, it will not walk in front of Gulan, occasionally excited to run to the front, as if suddenly remembered, come to a sharp stop, look back at Gulan, even if Gulan is walking in the same direction as it, it must turn back, and then return to Gulan, take small steps to follow.
If you're driving, as soon as you open the door, it jumps up, jumps back and forth from the front seat to the back seat to check it a few times, and then squats on the storage box behind the gear lever, staring straight ahead, waiting for the ride.
When the weather is warm, as soon as the window is opened, it will jump into the passenger seat, stand upright on its hind legs, and squeeze its front legs on the doors and windows.
In the car it is also very restrained. It is usually quiet when the car is parked. But once, when Gulan parked the car on the side of the road and waited for someone, it was always quiet, and climbed over and over in the car, looking at Gulan and then at the window.
Gulan scolded a few times, and it was still the same. Angry, Guran suddenly thought about whether it was going to sprinkle water, and asked it if you wanted to sprinkle water? Suddenly it squatted down, and its little head tilted sideways, like a person tilting his head.
Gulan opened the car door, and it immediately jumped down, ran to the green belt next to the road, and then came up again before it quieted down. So Gulan took it out and never worried that it would stain the seats in the car, etc. Sometimes Gulan locks the door of the car to run errands, and he stays in the car for most of the day without making a fuss, just waiting quietly.
Mao Mao is also very recognizable. When Gulan went to work, as soon as he put on his uniform or formal suit, he obediently and helplessly burrowed into his small house, squatting at the door very solemnly, and watched Gulan go to work.
As soon as he sees Gulan wearing casual clothes or sportswear when he goes out, he squats next to him energetically, waiting to take him out to play. When Gulan finished cleaning up and said to leave, it was so happy that it ran downstairs like an arrow with a "haha" in its mouth.
It is especially able to understand people's words and understand and understand people's meanings. Let it go to eat, and if it is not hungry, it will also run over and chew a few grains of dog food. Let it drink water, and if it is not thirsty, it will also run over and lick it twice in a small bowl.
When you discuss things with it, its little head and ears will be on one side, on one side, on one side, on one side, and on the other. If you don't agree, it pretends to be confused, doesn't listen, and whether you are in a hurry to shout loudly or persuade in a small voice, it pretends to be stupid, and it is also very gratifying.
The cutest time for it is when it comes back from outside, and it rushes down the stairs to greet it. When Gulan opened the doorway, he would jump around Gulan twice with his face upright, and then run in front of him to lead Gulan upstairs.
