Back at Shengjiawu, grandma grabbed the badger's ears, marveled at his new hairstyle for a while, and then took Dahei out again. Recently, grandma has been busy making autumn tea.
Wang Ping and Gu Lao San both breathed a sigh of relief when they found nothing fishy about the badger. Gu Lao San was afraid of being beaten, while Wang Ping was simply afraid of being pulled by his grandmother and having his fur stroked again.
At the moment, my grandmother is too busy to take care of me. When she is no longer busy, the fur on the badger will grow back to its original size.
At dinner time, when the sun was about to set, a Mercedes-Benz S320L turned into Grandma Sheng's yard.
Gu Lang and Wang Ping were sitting on the steps outside the hallway teasing Dahei. In the dog's kennel, there was always a Frisbee, which was a gift that Gu Laosan bought for Dahei when he was in high school.
The dog is very careful when playing, for fear of breaking the frisbee.
Gu Laosan was a mean person. He would throw the frisbee far away every time, and then watch the dog rush out like crazy, jump up and bite the frisbee before it hits the ground. If the dog didn't catch it in time and the frisbee fell on the concrete floor in the yard, the dog would grumble in pain, which made Gu Laosan laugh.
Wang Ping deeply despised someone's bad taste, and what he despised even more was that every time the dog was fooled, it would wag its tail and return the frisbee.
When the Mercedes-Benz turned into the yard, it almost hit Dahei who had caught the Frisbee from the gate. Mama Gu scolded it through the car door. The car stopped in the yard. Mama Gu and Baba Gu just opened the door and got out of the car, and Dahei came over with his tail wagging.
"Go away! Don't rub against me, it's so dirty!" Mother Gu raised her foot and made a kicking gesture, scaring the dog.
Dahei muttered something, turned around and pounced on Gu's father, almost knocking him off balance.
"Hey, Dahei, slow down..."
As for grandma’s dog, Dad Gu didn’t dare to speak as bluntly as Mom Gu, so he could only roll his eyes and curse in his heart.
Wang Ping watched with interest. If I remember correctly, Dahei was not so enthusiastic towards everyone. At least he knew not to flutter around his grandma. So this enthusiasm might need to be put in quotation marks.
Dad Gu took out a few boxes of nutritional supplements from the trunk and followed Mom Gu across the yard.
"Xiao Lang, where is your grandma?" Seeing her son at home, Mother Gu was very happy. She trotted over in her high heels to hug him.
A badger was speechless. Gu Laosan, this idiot, had been hiding in Hangzhou for a week, and he didn't even tell his parents. It's true that children who have been wild since childhood rarely care about their families when they grow up.
"Grandma is in the kitchen... Mom, I just petted Dahei and he's covered in dog hair. Don't hug him..." Gu Laosan just stood up and quickly retreated, hiding from Gu Ma's arms.
"Oh, you should play less with dogs in the future. You know there are bacteria on them!" When she heard that someone was covered in dog hair, Mrs. Gu hurriedly stopped. Just as she was about to enter the door, she saw a guy wearing a denim jacket and a white peach-like hairdo looking up at her.
"What the hell!?"
Mother Gu was so frightened that she even swore.
Wang Ping was curiously looking at the fashionable woman in front of him. After all, he had never met Gu Lang's parents since he came to China. As expected, hearing about them was not as good as meeting them in person. A certain badger was too tired to complain about these people's reactions when they saw him for the first time.
“Mom… this is the pet I brought back from Tanzania. Call it Lao… uh, Huanhuan…” Gu Laosan hesitated for a moment and still couldn’t say the name “Lao Da”.
"Is it the eldest brother?" Grandma's voice came from the hallway, and Wang Ping and Gu Ma turned their heads to look over at the same time.
Gu Lang almost laughed out loud and quickly covered his mouth. He also couldn't understand why his grandmother didn't call her by her name or nickname, but a strange name like "Big Sister". After all, there was no second or third child in this family.
"Mom, we'll be loading the truck tomorrow. Bowen and I will come over to keep an eye on it..."
As Gu Ma said this, she stepped over Wang Ping's head, pushed open the door and walked into the house. Her high heels almost stepped on the tail of a badger.
Wang Ping: ... Hiss, if you weren’t someone’s mother, you might get beaten today, I tell you!
“Ding~”
There was a sound of a lighter, and Dad Gu put the things he was carrying on the steps, lit a cigarette, and squatted down in front of Wang Ping. The badger's eyes suddenly became straight. Dahei was circling around Dad Gu, occasionally leaning over to smell the cigarette in his hand, then turning his head away with a look of disgust, and then leaning over again to smell it after a while.
"Is this the little pet you brought back? It's very cute!" Dad Gu said to Gu Lang with a smile, and raised his hand to touch the badger's peach head.
"Hey, Dad..."
Gu Laosan hurriedly tried to stop him, but before he could finish his words, he saw a badger baring its teeth and pretending to bite Gu's father's hand.
"Ouch! It bites!" Dad Gu was so scared that he almost fell off the stairs. Gu Lang quickly held him up.
"Hehe, he doesn't allow you to touch him. In our family, only grandma can touch him. Even I can't." Gu Lang explained with a smile.
"You have quite a personality." Dad Gu didn't seem to care, but he secretly rolled his eyes and cursed him for being a little beast who looked down on others. He ignored the badger and turned around to pull Gu Lang to squat at the door and chat about family matters.
Wang Ping looked at the cigarette in Gu's father's hand, his eyes rolled around, and he was secretly paying attention.
In London, the sunlight shines through the window, making the room exceptionally bright.
White walls, white curtains, a pale patient lying on a white painted bed, covered with a white quilt, and a bunch of white lilies on the white bedside table beside the bed.
The wind blew through the window, lifted the curtains, and brushed against the bouquet of flowers. A petal floated up and fell on someone's pale face.
White fingers reached out, picked up the petals, and then gently stroked someone's face.
Beside the bed, the blonde girl stared at the face in front of her absentmindedly. For some reason, her face gradually turned red, adding a touch of warmth to the cold ward.
"Bah! How shameless!"
A barely audible yell came from beside the bed, and I couldn't tell who was being scolded.
“Crack!”
There was a sound of the door opening, and a man in a brown jacket pushed the door open and walked in.
"I knew you were here!" Luke shook his head helplessly and closed the door. "Didn't you receive the notification? There's a mission!"
"Oh." The woman beside the bed responded softly, and then said: "You guys go, I still have to take care of him."
"He has someone to take care of him!" Luke approached the bed and stood behind Anna and said, "I have applied for a nurse, and she will be here tomorrow. This mission is our first mission after the reorganization, and everyone must participate."
“Luke!”
Anna stood up, looked back at the man behind her, and said coldly: "Don't forget, you and I are both volunteers, you have no right to order me!"
"Ok! Then I'll put it another way, maybe you'll change your mind." Luke shrugged, not caring about Anna's attitude, and whispered: "This mission is a little special, the target is in China! Moreover, I received news that among the people going this time, there is a group from the same organization as the ones who ambushed us in Ngoro! You won't let Ilu and I go with just two newcomers, right?"
The curtains by the window stopped moving, the breeze died down, and the room suddenly felt a little depressing.
After a long while, Anna's somewhat cold voice sounded: "The nurse needs to be replaced by a man!"
