Although Little Bell thinks about Qiao Bowen all day long, before the age of five, Qiao Bowen is most worried about puppies.

When he was first picked up by his parents, he talked about having a dog all day long, and after a while he got used to it, he stopped chattering, but after his sister was able to run and jump, he clamored to have a dog again.

He said that he missed his dog brother in Hong Kong City, and he relied on his mother at every turn, so he had to raise a puppy. Later, when they were moving to a big house, my mother said that the family had no money and could not afford to raise a dog.

Qiao Bowen sat down on the ground in despair, thinking to himself, his mother really didn't talk much, and always deceived him.

As he got older, the more he liked to play with his father. I forgot what day the family went out to eat, and an idol drama was playing on TV, and his mother watched it with relish. There was a rather handsome man inside, who was calmly shooting, and the scene was very tense for a while.

Maybe in my mother's eyes, that scene was really handsome! She looked at the starry eyes, but her father laughed on the side: "He can't make a toy gun, right? Why is the person who shoots the gun as steady as Mount Tai and doesn't shake at all? More powerful than me?"

Mom immediately pouted, and she didn't like Dad to tear down the stage like this. Qiao Bowen asked curiously, "Why do you want to shake the gun?"

"There's something called recoil, and kids like you can't stand it. ”

"Can Daddy stand it?"

Qiao Nan's expression froze for a moment, remembering the scene of the first target shooting after going to military school, and he still remembered the sour feeling of pain all over his body. But in front of his son, he said recklessly: "Then you don't need to say, your father hasn't shot any guns?"

Qiao Bowen only knew that his father was very athletic, but he had never seen his father shoot, so he was suspicious, and actually communicated with his mother in English in front of his father: "Dad can use guns! It's unbelievable!"

I don't know when he started, Qiao Bowen often used English to communicate with his mother about some little secrets, sometimes he couldn't say it clearly, so he mixed the two languages. At first, adults thought he was showing off, but he was able to persevere, and he was quite persevering.

Qiao Nan heard it clearly, but pretended not to understand. Wen Jing covered her mouth and giggled, cooperating with her son's acting: "Dad can use all kinds of guns!"

Qiao Bowen's eyes immediately widened, and he gasped exaggeratedly, it turned out that his father was so powerful! Qiao Nan accepted his son's admiring gaze with peace of mind, and then said approvingly: "Such an expensive cram school is really not in vain, our son speaks English well!"

Wen Jing said unconvinced: "Obviously, I did a good job of enlightenment! It's not in vain that I spent so much energy grinding his ears!"

"Okay, good, it's all thanks to my mother, my mother has worked hard!"

Wen Jingxi smiled: "It's our son who is smart and learns everything quickly." ”

(But they both thought too much, except for Qiao Bowen's oral language was a little better, the rest can only be described as so-so, and he was called a parent because of his grades in the first grade of primary school.) made Qiao Nan very depressed, could it be that the Xueba gene in his body was wasted?)

Adults didn't take that little episode seriously, but Qiao Bowen had a new understanding and pestered his father to teach him to shoot, but his father asked him to wait until he was eighteen years old. He's only four and a half years old, how long is it until eighteen?

Once, when my mother was at home taking care of my sister who had a cold, my father took him all the way to class. On a certain floor, an electronic screen was playing a video of a new type of heavy machine gun, and the sound of gunfire made Qiao Bowen look straight, he took his father's hand, and said stupidly: "Dad, I want to play this!"

……

"I want to play too. ”

Qiao Nan stayed for a long time before replying to him like this, but the child was obviously not satisfied, and the word "unhappy" was written on his face. Qiao Nan couldn't bear it, so he pinched his face: "Boy, it's said that you can't touch a gun until you're eighteen years old, you can first say that I can fulfill your wishes!"

"Why wait after eighteen?"

“…… It's too small for you to hold at all. ”

Qiao Bowen was still unhappy, and pulled his father's hand and said, "That's ...... I want to get a puppy. ”

……

Alas, his son is really not as intimate as his daughter, and he will have problems.

"Everything has to have a reason, so tell me, why do you want to have a dog?"

After a little thought, Qiao Bowen said: "First, I like dogs, second, dogs like me, and third, my mother accompanies my sister, and dogs accompany me." ”

Obediently, it's amazing, although each reason is very simple, but people say it very methodically! Especially the last one, Qiao Nan was a little sad when he heard it, it turned out that there was a second child, and he really ignored the boss invisibly, and people also need to be accompanied!

"Then why don't you tell your mother and let her spend more time with you?"

Qiao Bowen stuck out his tongue and said coolly, "Mom is also busy." ”

It turned out that his son was so sensible, and Qiao Nan suddenly felt that his nose was sour. He remembered his son's abnormal behavior, and asked, "When you talk to your mother in English, do you also want to get your mother's attention, and let your mother talk to you more?"

Qiao Bowen played with his fingers, pretended not to hear, and said, "Dad, I'm hungry, take me to dinner." ”

Qiao Nan didn't feel good all day, and thought that he would get him a puppy to go home no matter what. After returning home, he persuaded Wen Jing with one last reason, Wen Jing regretted neglecting her son, and finally relented: "I also know that children have a natural affinity for small animals, and it is not bad to have a puppy to grow up with him." The reason why I don't approve of him having a dog is not because of you!"

"I'm not afraid of dogs, I'm still very close to dogs, don't worry about me!"

……

has been married for so many years, Wen Jing still wants to beat up this straight man of steel from time to time.

"Aren't you coughing all the time? The dog has a lot of hair on it, and I'm worried it's not good for your airways!"

Although she didn't let her son keep a dog because she was worried about him, she found many other reasons to dispel her son's idea of raising a dog, just so that her son would not complain about him.

A warm current flowed around her body, Qiao Nan kissed her forehead, and said: "My cough is not because of allergies, I am not afraid of dog hair pollen, it is difficult for Mrs. Qiao to think about me, I am really blessed!"

The preparations are all done, and the puppy is sent into the house. Qiao Nan checked it and was stunned by the price of the dog. He couldn't help but complain: "My wife went to the hospital to give birth, and it didn't cost as much as a dog!"

For the sake of a new house, the couple started a new round of thrift, and the budget for buying a dog was very insufficient. Qiao Nan is also thinking about adopting a military dog that is about to retire, but large dogs always have safety hazards, and the home is not spacious to that extent.

During the May Day holiday that year, Qiao Nan went out with his son early in the morning. The car kept driving to the suburbs, and the scenery outside the window gradually changed to the countryside. Jo Bowen didn't know where his father was taking him, and he fell asleep in the car. When he opened his eyes again, his father had parked the car on the side of the road in the countryside, and he was hurrying in the direction of the car with a cardboard box in his arms.

Dad pulled the car door, shoved the cardboard box into his arms, and got into the driver's seat. Qiao Bowen saw an old man desperately chasing after his father, but his father quickly started the car and ran away from there.

"Dad, did you rob Grandpa?"

"......" Qiao Nan cleared his throat and said loudly: "We don't take a stitch from the masses, this is iron discipline, how can your father rob grandpa's things?"

"Then why is he chasing you?"

"He's going to give me the money back, and I don't want it. Qiao Nan didn't explain too much, but asked his son to open the box: "Look, what's inside?"

Qiao Bowen opened the box, only to see a small flaunty animal lying inside, with patches of brown hair scattered on its snow-white body, and its two ears were also brown.

Qiao Bowen woke up in an instant, but he rubbed his eyes again, suspecting that he was dreaming.

In the cardboard box given to him by his grandmother, there was also such a small animal lying on his stomach, trembling all over, and he could only scream. But that little animal has become his intimate friend.

If it weren't for the roof, Qiao Bowen would have jumped into the sky happily. After parking, he trotted into his mother's shop, and was so excited that he didn't know what to do, and said over and over again, "Mom, I got a puppy!I got a puppy!"

Wen Jing was also infected by her son's happiness and celebrated with him. Jobwen was still young, and getting a puppy was like getting the whole world. He didn't even think about how Dad got an identical puppy.

Qiao Nan didn't tell him how he saw the picture of the dog sent by the little warrior from the circle of friends, and how he quietly went to the little warrior's house, without alarming anyone, and bought the little earth dog for 100 yuan to come back and give his son a big surprise.
