Old Black

No matter how much wealth you have, with a dog, you are richer.

Ma Hualong said this, looked out the window, the fireworks were nearing the end, and the highlights of his story had just begun.

As soon as the truck left the city of Tai'an, my father drove the car into a Sinopec gas station on the side of the national highway.

'Come on, you walk the old black.' The division of labor is clear, don't delay. As soon as I parked the car, my dad started assigning me jobs.

'Okay, you're old! I thought that I finally had a place to use, and I had already put the previous unpleasantness behind me and happily agreed.

Lao Hei is a five-year-old wolfdog, which is also known as the German Shepherd, referred to as the German Shepherd, which his father asked for from a friend. The shiny fur showed his health, and the thick limbs showed his strength. Because of the large amount of black dog hair on his back, he has such a rustic name.

If you want to run a truck, why take a dog with you. I know why. In the past, there were no dogs in the running van, and since the price of oil has been high, there have always been people who steal your gas when you stop to rest. Human energy is always limited, and it is impossible to always be alert, so someone thought of taking a dog on the road, like bringing a sentry, security guard, and friend.

Dad installed a dog cage next to the gas tank, and it became Black's home from then on. Every time he set out to pull goods, his father would take him with him. Feed him some dog food, give him some water, and take him for a walk so he can move his muscles and bones. My father told me as he got out of the car, and his command was like an order not to be disobeyed.

'Don't worry. I took the leash, jumped out of the car, and readily agreed.

As a large dog, Lao Hei actually has a lot of activity, and if he is locked in a cage for a long time, he will also become manic and even depressed.

Seeing me, Lao Hei first greeted me warmly, and when I tied him on a leash and opened the iron cage, he jumped down, and then wagged his happy tail and made a few circles in place. The dog's food and water were quickly wiped out by him.

'Go, old black. After hearing my command, Lao Hei shook his head and followed me around the neighborhood a few times, pulled once, and urinated several times, relieved and relaxed. I also took a little hand by the way.

'Alright, let's go. Dad yelled at the two of us.

'How much oil was added?' Back in the cab, I asked casually. 'All the tanks are full. More than 1800 pieces. ’

'So many? I was a little surprised when I knew the price of oil was high.

'Ang, or else?' What do you think? Do you still think your dad earns more? Dad asked me questions in an almost mocking tone.

'No wonder you want to take Lao Hei with you, he is a hero of our family!' I vaguely felt that this time my father asked me to follow the car is not as simple as I thought, in fact, the next thing that happened one after another is constantly confirming my hidden worries, refreshing my understanding, and giving me a profound education. It's just that the far-reaching significance of running a long distance with the car this time was only slowly realized by me later. ”
