The happiest thing in winter is that the family gets together and eats a hot hot pot.

Today, Etsuko and her boyfriend, Mr. Ishikawa, are coming over, and in order to entertain them, Grandma Fujimoto has been preparing hot pot ingredients since noon.

Since Etsuko Fujimoto and Katsura Ishikawa visited each other's homes on New Year's Day, the relationship between the two of them has been formalized.

The families on both sides are very satisfied with the two children, and the parents of the Ishikawa family know the temper of their youngest son, and at best they are honest, but in fact, they are heartless.

Fortunately, this kid also knows his own character, and the job he chooses is a relatively simple and stable middle school teacher, or let such a stupid boy go out alone, the family is really not at ease.

Now that the stupid son of the family has brought back a smart and capable daughter-in-law, Ishikawa's parents and brother and sister-in-law are completely relieved.

As for the Fujimoto family, they are absolutely supportive as long as the girl in their family likes it and there are no vices in the man's character.

So under the happiness of both families, the couple began to date on the premise of marriage.

In the evening, the son and daughter-in-law who got off work and the daughter who drove over and the prospective son-in-law returned home with their feet, and the little fat man stepped on his slippers and went to open the door for them.

A lively family hot pot dinner began with the return of the family.

After eating hot pot, the women went to the kitchen to clean up the kitchen waste, and the men sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting.

Tada, a golden retriever, bounced around under the sofa and warm table with his toy ball in his mouth, trying to get the attention of Dr. Fujimoto and Katsura Ishikawa to let them play with him.

In the past, the guy who took care of and educated the Golden Retriever the most in the family was the Black Feather, but recently he has been busy falling in love, so he has no time to take care of the Golden Retriever.

After this dinner, the black feather flew out again, and everyone in the Fujimoto family knew that it went upstairs, and it was up to it to play if it was close to each other.

But in this way, the golden retriever Ah Zhongke is a lot lonely.

At the age of more than a year, it is the most lively time in a dog's life.

In the past, when Ah Zhong wanted to play, Hei Yu would definitely accompany him, but now he couldn't find it.

So the golden retriever, who was depressed and wanted to play, had to fight the ideas of other people in the house.

Needless to say, on the cat's side, the Great Sage is willing to play with the Golden Retriever, but Mo is unwilling.

Being able to play and play with each other is a very intimate thing between cats, and Mo Ke does not allow other animals to exercise their rights, even pets in the house.

So when Mo was there, the Golden Retriever didn't have the slightest chance to play with Xu Jie, and it only had the opportunity to play with the Tanuki cat when Mo was away.

But Mo, who has been crowned king in the county, basically has nothing else to do except inspect the territory, so the dog still has no playmates most of the time.

After that, the Golden Retriever went to Junko and Kenta again, but unfortunately although these two were on winter vacation, they also had their own things.

Junko is going to continue her taekwondo training, and now is a time when she needs to work hard because she has a very important competition after the start of school in April.

And the little fat man, after a period of cram school trial, also chose what he wanted to learn.

However, what the family didn't expect was that the hanging project that this little fat man finally chose was actually Go.

Although it was a bit unexpected, the Fujimoto couple were still very supportive of their children's interests, so the little fat man now goes out every morning to learn Go.

As for the Fujimoto couple, they are very busy themselves, and taking the golden retriever out is just going to the pet hospital, so don't think about playing with them.

So the only one in the family who still has time to play with Ah Zhong for a while is Grandma Fujimoto.

It's a pity that although Grandma Fujimoto's body is still strong, she is still in her sixties after all, and taking the golden retriever out for a walk every day is already her limit.

So the energetic Golden Retriever has really been suffocated lately.

So when he saw a newcomer in the house, the golden retriever was excited, and he wanted someone to play with him.

Looking at the big golden retriever burrowing under the table, Dr. Fujimoto didn't even have to think about it to know what the dog was thinking.

It seems that he has really neglected Ah Zhong too much recently, so that the golden retrievers, who have always been very well-behaved, have begun to use small actions to attract attention.

With this in mind, the doctor took off the soft ball in the golden retriever's mouth and threw it towards the entrance.

Looking at the soft ball that was thrown out, the golden retriever's ears stood up, his eyes were fixed on the ball, and he quickly chased after it.

Even fluttered and scratched, and the soft ball was chased by Ah Zhong and stopped.

It lowered its head and picked up the ball, held it in its mouth, wagged its big tail and ran towards the Medic.

Dr. Fujimoto took the ball and threw it again, Ah Zhong shouted excitedly a few times, and happily chased after him again.

Looking at Dr. Fujimoto, who was having a lot of fun with the dog, Katsura Ishikawa was very envious.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to explain his purpose for coming here today to Dr. Fujimoto.

So Dr. Fujimoto, who was teasing the dog, heard Katsura Ishikawa on the other side of the warm table say, "Mr. Fujimoto, I came here this time because I want to ask you for something." ”

When Fujimoto Guangyang heard this, he continued to throw the soft ball in his hand, and turned his head and asked, "If you have something, just say it, don't be so polite." ”

Ishikawa Katsura replied when he heard this: "Then I'll say it bluntly, I want to adopt a pet, but I don't know what qualifications and procedures are required, so I thought I'd come over today and ask for advice from Mr. Fujimoto." ”

Dr. Fujimoto was stunned when he heard this, and the soft ball he was holding in his hand fell.

Seeing this, Ah Zhong, who was squatting on the ground and waiting for him to throw the ball, got up and picked up the ball again and returned it to his master.

Mr. Fujimoto took the ball, rubbed it vigorously on the golden retriever's head, and then asked Katsura Ishikawa, "Adopt a pet?" Why did you suddenly have this thought? ”

Ishikawa Katsura said a little embarrassed when he heard this: "I want to have some common topics to talk about with Etsuko, so I want to have a pet." But rest assured, Mr. Fujimoto, I will do my best to take care of the adopted pet. ”

Ishikawa Katsura cherishes this relationship with Etsuko Fujimoto very much, and can chase the goddess in his heart for many years, Ishikawa Katsura really wakes up with a smile when he dreams.

After getting along for a while, Ishikawa Katsura gradually discovered that when he and Etsuko were together, one person often spoke, while the other listened silently.

Although listening is also a good way to get along, there is still no shortage of communication between boyfriends and girlfriends.

After thinking about it for a while, Ishikawa Katsura realized that the problem was in their different life circles.

Etsuko is creative, and he is a middle school physical education teacher, and there is almost no intersection between the two people's life circles.

There are many things that Etsuko said, Ishikawa Katsura couldn't understand.

And the things in Ishikawa Katsura's school basically have nothing to do with Etsuko's life, and she just listens to it and laughs when she says it.

In order to be able to have more common topics and hobbies with Etsuko, Katsura Ishikawa thought of something that both of them loved, and that was to have a common pet.

Doing something together can deepen the relationship between two people, and Ishikawa Katsura is convinced of this, so he wants to ask Dr. Fujimoto for help.

The future brother-in-law is so attentive to his sister, and of course Hiroyo Fujimoto is happy.

However, as a senior pet person, he feels that some things need to be clarified in advance.

So Dr. Fujimoto said to Ishikawa Katsura very strictly: "Ah Gui, raising a pet is just fun and fun, from the moment it comes to you, its birth, old age, sickness and death are all your responsibilities. A pet will sell cuteness to you, will be soft and coquettish with you, but it will also damage your furniture and clothes, stain your floors and shoes, and even make you quarrel and make you angry when you can't tell, can you accept these? ”

Katsura Ishikawa said with certainty: "I also have a lot of friends around me who have pets, and I have heard their laughter and distress. Now that I want to get a pet, I am naturally ready in my heart, please rest assured. ”

Hearing this, Dr. Fujimoto nodded slightly and said, "Okay, since you said so, then I'll help you find it." ”

Hearing this, Ishikawa Katsura bowed his head and thanked him: "Thank you, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

They had just finished talking when they heard the cat's uncomfortable humming from the side of the cat climbing the shelf.

The hot pot tonight tasted very good, because he had to entertain guests, Xu Jie, who had been restricted from eating and drinking during this time, was also allowed to open today.

Xu Jie, who had been weak in his mouth for a week, couldn't help but start eating a lot when he heard the words, so everyone didn't pay attention, and Xu Jie ate too much.

Dragging the hairy belly that was about to turn into a circle, Xu Jie scurried back and forth in the room, until he was tired, but he still didn't eat.

Xu Jie, who was so tired that he wanted to stick out his tongue, simply lay flat in front of Mo, kicked his legs and pressed Mo's paws to his belly with his claws, humming and chirping to let Mo rub his belly.

Mo carefully rubbed it with his paw for a while, and seeing that Xu Jie still didn't have any good intentions, he turned Xu Jie over with his paws, and sent the back of his neck to the doctor for treatment.

Seeing that he had been propped up like this raccoon cat, the doctor rubbed his temples with his fingers.

However, the stupid raccoon flower is also his own cat, so the doctor still found a diet medicine and fed it to Xu Jie.

Xu Jie was bitter by the medicine, and wiped his mouth with his paws, sticking out his tongue while wiping, as if he wanted to wipe the smell of medicine.

Mo had already consciously walked over and walked towards me with Xu Jie in his mouth.

Although the digestion medicine has been given to the little raccoon flower to eat, it will take some time for the medicine to exert its strength, and the belly of the little raccoon flower will still bulge uncomfortably before, so the action of rubbing the belly still has to continue.

Pointing to the tanuki cat that had been taken away by the big black cat, Mr. Fujimoto turned to Katsura Ishikawa and asked, "Even if you encounter this, don't you have any problems?" ”

Ishikawa Katsura, who had never seen a cat hold himself up, swallowed his saliva when he heard this, but he still said very firmly: "I can, just adopt the animal home, then I will take care of it no matter what." ”

Doctor Fujimoto thought for a moment before saying, "That's okay Ishikawa, anyway, you're not sure what you want to adopt right now." I'll give you a chance to contact the small animal protection center here, and you can go over and volunteer for a while to help take care of the animals over there. If you can really adapt, it's not too late for us to adopt. ”

Ishikawa Katsura also felt that this was very safe, so he gladly accepted Dr. Fujimoto's offer.
