Chapter 31: A Change of Temperament

Seeing Zheng Xiuwen's well-behaved and cute appearance, of course the staff would not have any doubts about what he said, and even took Zheng Xiuwen's little hand with a smile and personally took him to the row of iron cages to choose.

Zheng Xiuwen's eyes searched rapidly among hundreds of stray dogs, and when he finally saw the golden figure in the corner, Zheng Xiuwen couldn't wait to run over.

The staff didn't expect that this adoption would go so smoothly, the stray dog and the little boy seemed to have known each other for a long time, and there was an indescribable tacit understanding when they met for the first time. The staff put a collar around the neck of the stray dog, so that the little boy could take it back, watching a person and a dog leave the shelter naturally, the stray dog did not have any struggle, and the little boy did not have any fear, the two were like the relationship between the owner and the pet for a long time, and the staff showed a satisfied smile on their faces. For stray dogs, this should be the best place to be, and the staff does not want more lives to die at their own hands.

Zheng Xiuwen was naturally very happy when he found the little wolf again, but in the process of getting off the taxi and walking to the door, the worry in his heart gradually overshadowed the joy of regain.

In fact, Zheng Xiuwen felt from the bottom of his heart that he had done a great thing tonight, and he brought back a stray dog from the shelter without saying any hello to his parents, which was definitely not what he dared to do before.

When Zheng Xiuwen rushed out of the house, he only thought about saving the little wolf from the shelter, but how to explain to his parents after he was rescued, Zheng Xiuwen didn't think clearly. And when he was watching the news, Zheng Xiuwen had already heard that his mother seemed to be very afraid of stray dogs.

Zheng Xiuwen, who was standing at the door, said in a not very firm tone, "Mom, Dad, I, I want to adopt it as my pet dog." ”

As expected, Zheng Xiuwen's mother immediately raised objections, "Xiaowen, this is a stray dog, it doesn't know how many germs it carries, maybe there is, there is rabies, and you usually have to concentrate on practicing the piano, how can you be distracted to take care of it?"

Zheng Xiuwen lowered his head silently, of course he couldn't say anything about his mother, and he couldn't say a reason why he had to adopt the little wolf, but at the same time, he held the dog leash in his hand tighter, as if he was afraid that someone would take it away from him.

Zheng Xiuwen's father watched quietly for a while, he was far less excited than his wife, and just asked in a flat tone, "Xiaowen, did you go to a stray animal shelter just now?" He remembered the news broadcast on TV, and his son also asked what euthanasia meant, and then rushed out of the house. It can be seen that the son brought back a stray dog from the shelter on a whim, and I am afraid that he has been in contact with the stray dog for a long time.

"Well," Zheng Xiuwen replied with his head down, he didn't know what he should do if his parents didn't agree to bring the little wolf home. But in any case, he will not let the wolf cub become a stray dog again, and the shelter will not give him a second chance to adopt.

Zheng Xiuwen has been standing at the door and has not entered the house, he has already made up his mind that if his parents don't let the little wolf in, he will stand at the door with it, which can be regarded as a silent demonstration to his parents.

After being silent for a few minutes, Zheng Xiuwen unexpectedly heard his father say something like this, "Xiaowen, you bring it in first, whether you want to adopt it as a pet dog, we will talk about it tomorrow." ”

Zheng Xiuwen finally raised his head, with a happy look on his face, he hurriedly led the little wolf in, and according to his father's instructions, he locked it on the balcony first.

As soon as she returned to the bedroom, Zheng Xiuwen's mother glared at her husband very unhappily, "How can you let that stray dog into our house? It is dirty everywhere, what if it brings infectious diseases?"

Zheng Xiuwen's father said indifferently, "These are all minor problems, you can help it bathe when you are dirty, whether there is rabies or something, you can also take it to the pet hospital for examination and then give it some vaccinations, you don't have to worry about these problems." ”

Zheng Xiuwen's mother still sighed, "Okay, even if these can be solved, but how can Xiaowen be distracted to take care of a pet dog? His piano skills have finally improved significantly, and I don't want him to fall short because he has a pet dog." ”

"Actually, if I'm not mistaken, Xiaowen should have had contact with the stray dog a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have brought it back from the shelter overnight, didn't you see Xiaowen holding the stray dog at the door, there was a stubbornness in his eyes? This kind of look may often be seen on the faces of other children, but Xiaowen has almost never had such an expression. This shows that Xiaowen really values it. Zheng Xiuwen's father explained his reasons for doing so.

The scene of her son standing at the door, holding the dog leash in his hand, Zheng Xiuwen's mother also remembers it vividly, she has never seen her son so rebellious, in her impression, her son has always been quiet and sensible, and will not go against any of her wishes. If the husband's guess is correct and the son has been in contact with the stray dog for a long time, then the possible explanation is that the stray dog changed the son's temperament.

For the average parent, it is not a good thing for a child to become rebellious, but Zheng Xiuwen's parents are happy to see this change, and she also hopes that her son will have more characteristics of children of the same age, rather than a volcano that will not erupt until adulthood.

"Tonight's Xiaowen is indeed different from before," Zheng Xiuwen's mother quickly understood the meaning of her husband's words, but she was often dominated by emotions and lacked her husband's calm insight.

"We have always felt that Xiaowen is indeed too lonely to practice the piano at home alone, and it is not a bad thing if he can have a pet dog to accompany him, as for whether his progress in learning the piano will be delayed, we can slowly observe for a period of time..."

The next day, Zheng Xiuwen saw a pair of cold-faced parents, and they asked Zheng Xiuwen a word, did he really make up his mind to adopt the stray dog as a pet?

Zheng Xiuwen still nodded without hesitation, and then he heard the conditions put forward by his parents, "To adopt it, you must pass the seventh level of piano major within a year, if you don't reach this goal, we will still send this dog to the shelter." ”
