Chapter 81 Happy Meeting (1)
Pet? Does it mean something that is loved? Or is it raised? Does that mean a living thing? Shen Fu glanced at the little black dog in Zhou Heng's arms and felt that he should understand what the other person meant, so he nodded and said: "No Raised."
It's normal if you haven't raised one before. After all, this era has its operating rules. Judging from Shen Fu's tone before, Miss Qianjin doesn't seem to raise cats and dogs very much, or in other words, she doesn't raise cats and dogs herself. As a prince, especially a A rich, handsome young prince holding a cat or a puppy in his arms can be described with various beautiful adjectives in the 21st century, but in this world, he would probably only be called weird. Zhou Heng expressed his understanding of this. .
But because of this, I want to express to the other party the different joys brought by raising pets. Anyway, in this world now, Shen Fu is the only person he can talk to: "I told you before, I used to I raised a puppy, and my name was 'Shadow'. You don't know, but it was struggling painfully in front of my eyes. It was simply..."
At this point, Zhou Heng couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then continued:
"In my world, many people keep cats and dogs as pets. Gradually, because they get along day and night, and because they are raised by themselves, everyone treats them as family members."
"Although puppies and kittens are not as smart as us humans, they are also very spiritual, and they are like my little shadows and rely on me very much. You don't know, every day when I come home from work and open the door, I see them jumping up to me happily. It was just an empty house at first, but when I thought about it, I would have it there, and it would always be waiting for me, Shen Fu, you know, so then the little shadow disappeared, and I cried for a whole month, every day when I came in after work. , the empty house, extremely quiet, no more…”
At this point Zhou Heng choked even more and couldn't speak anymore. Shen Fu looked at her, took out his own handkerchief and handed it to her.
Zhou Heng took it and pressed the handkerchief over his eyes for a while before putting it down. Then he wanted to hand it back to him, but Shen Fu waved his hand, meaning to let her use it first.
That's okay, after all, he has already used it. This handkerchief looks like an ordinary handkerchief. The rich and handsome prince will definitely not recycle things used by others, so Zhou Heng simply wiped his nose with the handkerchief again. , tears streaming down my face, and my nose almost came out:
"I'm sorry, Little Shadow happened last year. I couldn't adapt to it after it happened. After all, I've had it for several years, so I planned to quickly find a boyfriend to transfer my feelings. Then my grandma got sick again, so I thought about it very much. Want to get married."
"Then I accidentally discovered this little guy in the woods the day before yesterday." Touching the little puppy in his arms, Zhou Heng tried his best to smile at Shen Fu: "Maybe it's because he came to you inexplicably, Shen Fu , to tell you the truth, I am a bit fatalistic now, feeling that the little shadow from before has come to see me again. Although I can no longer remember what the little shadow looked like when he was a child, I always feel that this little guy now looks very similar to it. Like.”
"So I may be a little too concerned about it, and the way I raise it is a little different from what you have here," Zhou Heng felt a little melancholy at this point: "But I still want to stick to my own way, after all, Maybe we don't have much time together." When the matter is over, he will go back, but the little shadow will stay.
After Shen Fu listened to these words in silence, he thought about it and said:
"Actually, it's a coincidence that my horse is also completely black, and it's a rare good horse. The name I gave it was when I first got it a few years ago. It's the same name you thought of at the time, which is also 'Shadow'."
Uncle He and the others will be coming up soon. Instead of continuing to talk about the sad topic just now, it is better to use this opportunity to talk about something else.
Sure enough, Zhou Heng immediately raised his head in surprise and chuckled:
"No, is there such a coincidence? How come we have such a tacit understanding?"
The word "tacit understanding" was often used among colleagues in the 21st century. It was not an unspeakable word. Everyone would laugh it off and regard it as a common joke. Now I hear that two people live in two different time and space. They were two different animals, but they all had the same name. Zhou Heng couldn't help but said it as a joke, without thinking much about it.
But as a listener, Shen Fu was different. He had some different thoughts about her before, but now that he heard her using this word, he couldn't help but have more thoughts in his heart. The words came up, so after listening to Zhou Heng's words, I saw that she had suppressed her sad expression and even smiled. She originally wanted to say that her thoughts had long since disappeared, but now she even looked at her with a look. He became softer, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise.
So when Uncle He hesitated to estimate that the time was almost up, when he went upstairs and entered the room with Chenfeng and Chunyu carrying food boxes, he saw that the two people in the room looked at ease, and there seemed to be a faint smile on Shen Fu's face. I mean, I was secretly surprised.
After that, several people finished their breakfast quickly. Chun Yu followed the same method and asked Uncle He to apply some yellow powder on his face. Thus, a father and daughter with the same skin color were born. In addition, both of them were dressed like ordinary people. Uncle He himself He is also short and fat, and he does look like he is in business.
Uncle He himself said frankly that he had been enjoying himself in Prince Jing's Mansion these past years, basically just eating, drinking and having fun. Unless someone wanted to inquire, no one would recognize him.
"Let's go, Dad!" Zhou Heng laughed loudly and told Chenfeng: "Help me take a good look at the little shadow."
After that, Uncle He took Zhou Heng and Chun Yu to Wang Ji's shop. As soon as they opened the door, Brother Wang was very happy to see Zhou Heng. Shopkeeper Wang first gave Uncle He a gift and thanked him, and then expressed his intention to invite him. When I was the middleman, I looked at my son next to me and agreed happily.
So I left Brother Wang to look after the shop, and the group went to the house at the back.
After knocking on the door, Mrs. Peng's voice came as usual: "Who is it?"
"Auntie, it's us, here to rent a house." Zhou Heng replied loudly.
"Wait a moment!" a voice came from inside.
"That's Aunt Peng." Chunyu explained in a low voice beside her. When she looked up, she saw Uncle He's brows furrowed, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
It was indeed amazing. It seemed that something was wrong. Chunyu felt relieved. Zhou Heng, who was on the other side of Uncle He, winked at her and signaled her not to be nervous.
When the door opened, Mrs. Peng was still the same as last time, with gray hair and brown clothes. She raised her head and glanced at the group of them, said "come in" and walked in without looking back.
Zhou Heng and Chun Yu were about to follow them in, but saw that Uncle He who was leading the group was still standing still. They stepped forward and looked up, and found that he still had a blank expression on his face.
Seeing this scene, Chunyu couldn't help but feel a thump in her heart. Remembering what Shen Fu had explained to her so painstakingly before she came back, she quickly walked between Uncle He and Zhou Heng, pulled Zhou Heng's arm, and asked him in a low voice: "What's the matter?" ,Uncle? Is there anything wrong?"
This was the name everyone used to call him through Qi before. Since Zhou Heng is his cousin, then Uncle He is his uncle.
Seemingly awakened by this call, and seeing the other three looking at him curiously, Uncle He finally reacted and wiped the not much sweat on his forehead with some embarrassment: "Oh, I was there just now. Thinking about something, what, the person who opened the door just now is the Aunt Peng you mentioned? She said her surname is Peng?"
"Yes," Zhou Heng didn't know why Uncle He asked like this: "We heard what those people said, what's the matter?" What's the problem with Aunt Peng?
At this moment, Uncle He seemed to have come to his senses, but he said nothing more. He only said one sentence as he took the lead and crossed the threshold:
"good."
The subsequent negotiations went very smoothly. The talented man He had met before did not show up. According to the strong man who took the lead, he was a weak man who was slow to ride a horse, so he set off to Zhongnan Road in advance. So now everyone We sat together in the main room, and Mrs. Peng served everyone a pot of tea and was never seen again.
Zhou Heng didn't know if there was something wrong with the contract given by the group, and he didn't know if the price he gave was too high, but Uncle He didn't pay too much attention to it, he just wanted to sign a sublease. Before the agreement, a request was made:
"I wonder if the rough lady who opened the door for us just now wants to go with you? When my nephew's family comes over, he will inevitably have to hire someone to cook, clean and wash clothes-"
"You mean Aunt Peng?" The strong man in the lead seemed to be very satisfied with the deal that was negotiated so smoothly, and even gave a happy answer to Uncle He's question: "She was there when we moved in. , won’t go with us, the taste of the food is average, but this person is obedient and not an eyesore.”
It seems that Aunt Peng is indeed not with them. Zhou Heng and Chun Yu looked at each other. Is it not an eyesore? Just not an eyesore. It seems that these strong men are not wary of Aunt Peng.
However, Uncle He didn't know why, after listening to what the strong man said, he stood up and stood up with his hands, saying: "This matter, thinking about it, there should be no worries, but the elder brothers should also know that I am here for my nephew at home. The price for renting this house has been negotiated. If Mrs. Peng thinks that she is unwilling to continue the business after changing the owner, then the nephew's family will arrive for the first time, and there will be women and children, which will inevitably cause inconvenience. Although this town is mostly businessmen, But I’m afraid it’s not easy to find a rough lady at short notice.”
While talking, he looked at Shopkeeper Wang who was acting as the middleman next to him.
Shopkeeper Wang was entrusted by others and was a businessman who was good at listening to what was said. When he heard what Uncle He said, he immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's not easy to find someone at this time. Shopkeeper Wu, you have to hurry up." Go and ask Aunt Peng what she means."
The surname Wu was given by Uncle He when he reported his family name, and also mentioned the general situation of the so-called nephew's family to Shopkeeper Wang.
The strong man who took the lead was a little unhappy after hearing this. After all, the contract had not been signed yet, but when he saw that Uncle He had already stood up, he frowned and said patiently: "If Shopkeeper Wu is worried, go and ask her now. Where else can a helpless old woman go? If she really doesn't want to, just pay her more!"
"Dad, then go back quickly and ask Aunt Peng." Zhou Heng pretended not to see the strong man's expression and urged Uncle He to go and ask Aunt Peng now. This matter is important.
Uncle He seemed to want to finalize the matter quickly. When he heard Zhou Heng's words, he nodded and said in an explanation: "Yes, your cousin-in-law still has two children. If no one here can help, maybe first
But here we are, haven't you two been looking forward to meeting your two nephews? You have to ask clearly!"
As he spoke, he cupped his hands with the others: "So, please wait a moment. Wu will go and ask Aunt Peng first. It won't take much time. Where is she?"
Then, with the stunned eyes of the strong men, they asked where Aunt Peng was going and hurried out...
Chapter completed!
