Old John brought two glasses of water and put them in front of Tang Ming and Mike, they said thank you and drank them.

Tang Ming drank the water, put down the cup and asked, "Old John, where is your family?"

John Sr. said: "Since my wife died three years ago, I have had only one family in Alcmene, and now that Hercules has been born, I have another family. ”

Tang Ming said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked about this." ”

Old John said, "It's okay, I'm used to it. ”

Then Old John talked about himself, he was over seventy years old this year, he had no children, Alcmene had been adopted by him and his wife seven years ago, and until his wife died three years ago, he had raised Alcmene alone, and treated Alcmene as if he were his own child.

But raising a big brown bear of four or five hundred kilograms is very expensive, and it costs thousands of dollars a month to manage food, and after Alcmene bred last year, it cost even more, so as a last resort, John Sr. sold his house in the city center and bought it in the suburbs, so that he could barely feed Alcmene and Hercules.

After listening to Old John's story, Tang Ming and Mike were very moved, Tang Ming said: "Old John, is there anything you need my help with?" ”

Old John hesitated for a moment, then shook his head firmly, and said, "No, I can feed Alcmene and Hercules myself." ”

"Old John, our boss wants to adopt Hercules. ”

Tang Ming hesitated for a moment, and just when he didn't know what to say, Mike spoke first.

Old John's face changed, and he said in a tough tone, "I'm sorry, I won't give Hercules to anyone else." ”

Mike said: "Old John, you are so old now, you can no longer work, in order to support Alcmene, you need to sell the house, what do you rely on to support Alcmene and Hercules now, if you give Hercules to our boss for adoption, our boss will give you a large sum of money, enough for you to support Alcmene in the future......"

"Mike, don't say it. Mike's words gave people a feeling of falling into a well, so Tang Ming interrupted him.

Mike shrugged and said no more.

After listening to Mike's words, Old John did not speak, but his face changed violently, showing his inner struggle and hesitation.

What Mike said was also what he was most worried about, now that the money to buy the house had been spent, it would be difficult to support Alcmene on his own pension and allowance, let alone Hercules.

But Hercules was part of his family, so he said, "I'm not going to sell Hercules." ”

Mike persuaded: "How can this be sold, our boss and family like Hercules very much, just want to adopt Hercules, and even if you don't give Hercules to our boss, he will help you when he sees your situation, and, look at the big fat, our boss's family lives very well, our boss has five or six pets, including a white tiger, all of them live very well, so old John, you don't have to worry about Hercules being abused." ”

"Woo Woo ......"

The big fat man was lying on Tang Ming's lap watching the two brown bears play, and when he heard Mike mention his name, he immediately raised his head and yelled at him a few times, as if asking him what he was calling him for.

"It's okay, just lie on your stomach. Tang Ming smiled and touched the big fat head.

Old John looked at the lively and well-behaved big fat, and then at the brown bear mother and son, and was very reluctant in his heart, but knew that what Mike said was right, and fell into hesitation for a while.

Tang Ming saw Old John's expression and said, "Old John, you don't have to worry about not seeing Hercules in the future, even if I adopt it, you and Alcmene are welcome to come to my ranch to see it at any time, or you and Alcmene think about it, I can also bring it over to see you, in addition, I want to invite you and Alcmene to my ranch to have a look, you can read it and then make a decision." ”

"Alright, Don, then I'll go to your ranch and have a look. Old John hesitated for a long time before making a decision.

Tang Ming and Mike looked at each other and laughed, knowing that Old John had basically agreed.

Tang Ming stood up and said, "Old John, let's go, don't you need me to call a truck over." ”

Old John said, "No, I have my own car." ”

With that, he shouted, "Alcmone, come here." ”

The big brown bear obediently ran over, and the little bear followed behind his mother.

Old John led the big brown bear and the little bear out, and Tang Ming and Mike led the big fat to follow.

In the corner of the yard there is a small truck, although it is very old, but it has various cartoon patterns of brown bears painted on it, which looks very loving, this should be the car that old John usually pulls Alcmene and Hercules out.

From this it can be seen that Alcmene and Hercules were the whole of old John's life, and that an old man gave all his love to these two bears.

At this moment, Tang Ming suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart, as if he had become a trafficker and wanted to steal the child from his mother.

Mike said, "Boss, I ......"

"Don't talk about it, take care of the lives of old John and Alcmene more in the future, and let them see Hercules more. Tang Ming knew what Mike was going to say, and interrupted him before he could say it.

Old John opened the door and pulled out a ladder from inside, and Alcmene walked up skillfully, and it seemed that Old John often pulled Alcmene out, and then Old John picked Hercules up and closed the door.

Tang Ming said: "Mike, you help old John drive." ”

"Hmm. Mike nodded.

Mike walked over and said a few words to Old John, who nodded yes, and they got into the van together.

Tang Ming walked out of the yard, got into his car with the big fat, and drove ahead.

After walking for about forty minutes and returning to the villa on the Gold Coast, Tang Ming parked the car in the yard, got out of the car, and watched Mike drive the truck in.

Old John got out of the car and was very surprised to see the villa, he always thought that Tang Ming was just a small rancher, but now it seems that he is a rich man.

Mike patted Old John on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Old John, let Alcmene and Hercules out first, let's take a helicopter to the ranch." ”

"Good. Old John agreed, opened the door, and carried Hercules out, and then Alcmene slowly descended from above.

Tang Ming said to Da Fat: "Big Fat, go play, Daddy will come to see you again when he has time." ”

"Woo Woo ......"

The big fat knew that Daddy was leaving, and he cried out a little reluctantly. (To be continued.) )
