Chapter 30 Pet Adoption
"Let him go, he is in junior high school, and children as old as him have already learned to spend the night in Internet cafes," Zheng Xiuwen's father said very calmly.
"Look at what you said, as if our son has learned badly, and you are still very happy," Zheng Xiuwen's mother glared at her husband with disdain.
"It's not that I want him to learn badly, it's just that he has too little time to go to school, so he hasn't done many things that his peers will do, which is not necessarily a good thing for Xiaowen's growth," Zheng Xiuwen's father naturally has his reasons, because he is committed to cultivating his son into a pianist, they naturally don't bother too much about Zheng Xiuwen's cultural courses, after all, even if it is the college entrance examination in the future, the enrollment of art colleges or art specialty students will not have too high requirements for cultural courses, as long as they make a surprise attack a year before the exam.
The only thing that makes Zheng Xiuwen's father feel uneasy is that his son has too little contact with his peers, and all his behaviors are too well-behaved and sensible, and he doesn't even feel a little rebellious in him that a child should have, so now that he sees Zheng Xiuwen running outside at night, Zheng Xiuwen's father hopes that his son can do what a child of this age should do.
"However, it's past eight o'clock now, and I'm afraid it's not safe outside," even after hearing her husband's reason, Zheng Xiuwen's mother was still relieved.
"Anyway, we gave him enough pocket money, he usually didn't spend much, now as long as he has money with him, if he doesn't come back at ten o'clock, let's go out and find it again," Zheng Xiuwen's father believes that his son still has this ability to survive.
Speaking of her husband, Zheng Xiuwen's mother had to sigh in anxiety and worry, her eyes looked at the clock hanging on the wall, as long as ten o'clock arrived, she would definitely take her husband outside to find her son back.
Time passed minute by minute, Zheng Xiuwen's mother never felt that the leisure time at night was so difficult before, because she often watched two soap operas and a variety show before it was time to go to bed, but this night she looked up at the clock countless times, only to find that the time had only passed five minutes.
Zheng Xiuwen's mother also wanted to calm herself, she felt that even if her son rarely went out, there should be no accidents outside. But tonight's Zheng Xiuwen's performance was too abnormal, she refused to say a word at first, and then suddenly ran out of the house, as a mother, she realized that something must have happened to Zheng Xiuwen.
Taking advantage of the time when the TV series was interspersed with advertisements, Zheng Xiuwen's mother quickly got up and walked to the window, she looked through the window to the distant street corner, there were few pedestrians on the street in the dim street lamp, and none of them were her son.
"Where did Xiaowen go?" Zheng Xiuwen's mother frowned and muttered, she didn't watch the plot of the TV series just now, and all kinds of pictures that came to her mind were all kinds of frightening images, such as her son encountering a group of ruffians on the street, or being dragged into a van by a trafficker, or even because he couldn't think about it for a while, he was now standing on the edge of a bridge and ready to jump down.
Whenever this kind of picture flashed through her mind, Zheng Xiuwen's mother couldn't stop trembling, but when she looked at her husband beside her, the other party was completely watching the TV series with relish, which made Zheng Xiuwen's mother feel that all her speculation and worries seemed to be superfluous.
She knows that she is a sensitive and worried person, and because of this character, she often becomes a little neurotic, but fortunately, her husband is the complete opposite of her, even if something big happens, he can turn a blind eye like no one.
Seeing her husband's attitude, Zheng Xiuwen's mother forced herself to calm down, although she also knew that the pictures in her mind were all guessed by herself, maybe the real situation did not happen anything, and after a while, Zheng Xiuwen came back by herself, but she couldn't help but walk to the windowsill again.
The time finally reached half past nine, and there were still thirty minutes before the deadline her husband said, but Zheng Xiuwen's mother couldn't wait, she was already anxious at this time, after all, her son had never returned so late as today.
Zheng Xiuwen's father was pulled up from the sofa, although he really wanted to watch the last half of the TV series, but he couldn't beat his wife, who was already on the verge of emotional breakdown, the two put on a coat, took a flashlight, and hurriedly walked downstairs.
When they went down to the first floor, there was a sudden sound of a dog barking getting closer and closer outside the door, and the couple didn't think about it, thinking that maybe someone nearby had come out to walk the dog, but then the dog barking stopped in front of the door of their house, and then there was a sound of opening the lock hole with a key.
Zheng Xiuwen's parents looked at each other, completely unaware of what had happened, how could a person with a pet dog have the key to his own door? In the midst of their vigilance and doubts, the wooden door was pushed open from the outside to the inside, and Zheng Xiuwen's mother was surprised and delighted to find that it was actually her own son standing at the door, but he was still holding a golden stray dog in his hand.
"Xiaowen, are you...?" Seeing her son's return safe and sound, Zheng Xiuwen's mother was of course overjoyed, but she never expected that her son would lead a stray dog home.
Zheng Xiuwen disappeared for more than an hour, naturally went to the shelter reported on the news, and he couldn't imagine that the little wolf might be euthanized by the staff of the shelter, so he took a taxi to that place for the first time.
When he arrived at the gate of the shelter, Zheng Xiuwen saw the truck drive out of the gate again, obviously this time the arrest of stray dogs was very strong, even at night the arrest work continued.
Zheng Xiuwen found a staff member to explain that he wanted to adopt a stray dog, and the other party saw that he was still young and came alone, so he asked with suspicion, "Little friend, do your parents agree to adopt a stray dog?"
This time Zheng Xiuwen finally learned to lie, he raised his head and said to the staff with a pair of sincere eyes, "It was my parents who called me here, and after they watched the news on TV, they thought that these stray dogs were too pitiful, so they asked me to take one they liked." ”
