When the adopter arrived, it was exactly nine o'clock, and the father and son came together. Lao Hu is in his early forties, and he should be a relatively mild person based on his face.

Xiaohu has just turned 14 years old and is about to enter the second year of junior high school. Seeing that Xiao Q liked it very much, and played with Xiao Q for a while, Lao Hu took Xiao Q and led Chen Dainan and them into the pet hospital together.

The doctor got to know Lao Hu and did a series of basic tests for Xiao Q, and then checked a blood routine.

Chen Dainan checked the time and added an internal deworming to Xiao Q.

Xiao Q is very healthy, there are no problems, Lao Hu happily signed the adoption agreement, and then left the pet hospital with Xiao Q.

Chen Dainan stood at the door of the hospital and watched for a while without retracting his gaze.

Seeing this, Jiang Lei said: "Miss Chen, don't worry, Lao Hu is really good and trustworthy." ”

"Thank you. Chen Dainan smiled and glanced at his phone, "Do you have time now?" If you have time, I would like to invite you to have a cup of coffee, there is a Westwood coffee shop here, not very far away." "It's not even ten o'clock, so a cup of coffee and a brunch should be fine. After thinking about it, he added, "I have an employee discount, so you don't have to be polite to me." ”

Jiang Lei nodded solemnly, "Well, don't worry, you will definitely not be polite." ”

Hua Rui asked, "How long will it take to walk over?" ”

Chen Dainan smiled apologetically, "About ten minutes." She herself is a person who is used to walking, and it is not a long walk of twenty or thirty minutes for her. But for Hua Rui and Jiang Lei, it may not be, she actually ignored it directly, which is really rude.

Hua Rui threw the car keys to Jiang Lei, "Let's drive the car over." Turning to Chen Dainan, he smiled slightly, "Let's go, let's go over together." ”

It's Saturday, it's still early, and there are only a few customers or two in the store for the time being.

Chen Dainan chose a quieter and more comfortable position for Hua Rui and Jiang Lei, and after beckoning the two to sit down, he personally went to the counter to brew them two cups of espresso, with two small cakes and two sandwiches that are more suitable for men. She asked them while they were in the car, and they had both already had breakfast.

She made herself a caramel latte and a small cake. Although she has worked in a coffee shop for ten years, she hardly drinks coffee herself, mainly to save money.

Jiang Lei took a sip of coffee and couldn't help but light up, "This is what you brewed?"

"Well, yes. Chen Dainan nodded, glad that her latte was made of whole sugar, otherwise it would be too wasteful to drink it all.

"It's fragrant and mellow. Jiang Lei took another sip and asked, "How long have you been doing this?"

Hua Rui didn't express an opinion, Jiang Lei said everything he had to say.

Chen Dainan replied: "Ten years." ”

"No wonder, your craft is perfectly fine with opening your own coffee shop. Jiang Lei said a joke, but there was a bit of sincerity in his words.

"Well, you can consider that if I really don't want to work for someone else one day, I'll open a small coffee shop by myself. Chen Dainan smiled, in fact, she really had such a plan. If it weren't for Yan Sheng's derailment, she might have resigned and opened her own coffee shop by now.

Seeing that Jiang Lei had nothing to say, Hua Rui asked, "How long has your stray dog rescue base been established?"

Chen Dainan thought about it carefully and replied: "It should have been more than ten years before and after." It seems that the base was first set up before she went to college, but she doesn't know exactly what year it was formed.

Hua Rui couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Have you been in charge all along?"

Jiang Lei felt a little incredible, he had told Hua Rui before that their temporary base would not last long.

Chen Dainan shook his head, "No, there have been several changes of members in the middle, and the place has also changed eight or nine times." "If this base could have been so solid all the time, she wouldn't have been able to take it over.

"Your makeshift base is generally not very stable. Jiang Lei really looked like this, picked up the sandwich and took a bite.

Hearing this, Chen Dainan sighed softly helplessly, "The base has no income, and if you have to keep throwing money into it, everyone must have their own jobs." It's easy to say anything when you're single, but when you get married and have a family, there will definitely be people who quit one after another. ”

Hua Rui continued: "Then it seems that your family is still more supportive of this matter." "Otherwise, it would not have been possible to hold on for so many years.

Chen Dainan smiled and explained: "My family still doesn't know about the base, and I used to only participate as a volunteer, and I went over to help when I had time, and then tried to donate some materials or something, and only recently took over as a full member of the base." ”

Hua Rui and Jiang Lei stayed in the store for about half an hour, and then the number of customers increased one after another, and the two of them also had their own affairs, so they left after drinking coffee.

Sending away Hua Rui and Jiang Lei, Chen Dainan went to work directly.

Zheng Yingwen took advantage of her free time and quickly rubbed over, and asked with a gossipy face: "Sister Nan, who were those two handsome guys just now?"

Chen Dainan gently poked Zheng Yingwen's head that was almost arched to her face with her fingers, and replied: "I don't know them very well, not long after I first met, they helped to find a new adopter for Xiao Q in the past few days, so I invited them over for a cup of coffee." ”

Zheng Yingwen was a little surprised, "Xiao Q has found a new adopter?" A few days ago, she saw Chen Dainan's circle of friends and knew that there was a dog named Xiao Q who was looking for adoption, but she didn't expect the whole thing to go so smoothly.

"Well, it's already handed over to the adopter at nine o'clock. Chen Dainan nodded, and only then did she feel very happy, and even wanted to laugh.

"It's so good, Xiao Q is so cute, the previous owner didn't know why he couldn't bear it. Zheng Yingwen held her chin exaggeratedly, and smiled at her aunt with great relief.

"Maybe it's not enough fate. "The matter has passed, and Chen Dainan doesn't plan to say anything more.

On this day, there was no wind from the morning, the sun was shining, the temperature was high, and after ten o'clock, the weather gradually became hot and humid, which made people a little unbearable.

Before eleven o'clock, the occupancy rate in the store was close to two-thirds, and Chen Dainan and they were obviously busier than usual.

The sweltering heat lasted until the evening, when a strong wind suddenly blew and improved.

When Yan Sheng got home, it was close to one o'clock in the morning, and his parents must have already gone to bed at this time.

Gently open the door, and the living room is pitch black. He changed into slippers in the dark and moved like a thief in the direction of his bedroom.

"Are you still not connected with the woman outside?"

Yan's father's voice suddenly sounded, Yan Sheng was defenseless, and he was almost frightened to scream.

"Dad, why don't you turn on the lights? Yan Sheng took a few breaths, felt the switch, and turned on the small light in the living room.

Father Yan sat motionless on the sofa and looked at Yan Sheng with an indifferent expression.

Yan Sheng was a little embarrassed to be stared at, slowly walked to the other side and sat down, and after a short while, he replied, "Not yet." ”

Father Yan was not surprised at all, "I heard that you plan to be responsible for both women, why are you so powerful?"

Yan Sheng pursed his lips, not knowing how to answer.

Father Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense, and asked bluntly, "When do you plan to chase Nan Nan back?"

Yan Sheng immediately showed a look of embarrassment, "I sent her WeChat, but she didn't reply to me much." ”

Hearing this, Yan's father really felt a little incredible, and directly tore Yan Sheng's face unceremoniously, "You cheated, you scum others, and people are not allowed to be angry with you? If she doesn't reply to your WeChat, won't you call? Won't you take the initiative to meet her, send her flowers, and invite her to dinner?"

Yan Sheng opened his mouth, obviously wanting to refute.

Father Yan didn't give him a chance to speak, and then sneered, "Don't tell me that you don't have time, you have to go to work from Monday to Friday, and you really don't have time, so what about Saturday and Sunday? If you don't have time, how can you have time to run out and play with the junior today? and play all day." ”

"Mannie is not a junior, she still doesn't know that I am married, she is still young, and she is very simple. Yan Sheng felt that his father's words were really harsh, and couldn't help but defend Wang Manni twice.

"Simple, hehe!" Father Yan was decisively amused, "I don't believe she hasn't found out until now, if she really hasn't found out, it's not because you're too smart, but because she's too stupid." How can such a stupid and idiot woman take care of her family and educate her children well?"

Yan Sheng frowned and retorted in a low voice: "It's not that these things can't be learned. ”

"She is a foreigner, with a low education, a small office clerk, what can she do after giving birth to a child in the future? Maybe she will leave her job as soon as she gets married, and then she will want you to support her for the rest of her life, and she will also support her parents, can this kind of woman compare with Nan Nan? If you are very capable, then I won't say anything, but don't you know what the hell you are like? If you find such a woman, will you have a good life in this life?"

Yan's father scoffed, and he couldn't wait to press Yan Sheng's face to the ground and step on it. Marriage is two people living a real life, can they be simple and innocent?

Yan Sheng didn't talk, he couldn't answer a word.

"Your mother and I can't stay with you for a lifetime, even if we can live to be a hundred years old, and in another ten or twenty years, we don't have the strength or energy to stare at you anymore, you have to be a parent in the future, you have to think about your children and grandchildren, think about it yourself. After Father Yan finished speaking, he drank most of the glass of water in one go.

Yan Sheng sighed softly and said, "I don't know where Nan Nan has moved. ”

"You don't know where she lives now, so where she works? Won't you go to her place of work to find her?" Father Yan really didn't want to say another word to Yan Sheng, so he got up and went back to the bedroom.

Yan Sheng sat alone in the living room for a long, long time, not knowing what he was thinking. But apparently, he listened to what his dad said.
