January 1st, 57th year of the Gregorian calendar is Tuesday, New Year's Day, a day off.
It was rare for Li Heng to take a late nap in the morning, and it was almost eight o'clock when he woke up.
When he got dressed and walked out of the house, Mazi was squatting alone and counting ants under the eaves of the east wing of the house where he lived.
"Brother, you're up."
"Why don't you sleep a little longer? There's nothing to do today."
"I'm used to it. I can't sleep until six o'clock every morning. Brother, Uncle Fang just came over and gave us some buns for us to eat in the morning. I put them in the kitchen."
"You didn't eat?"
"I ate two. The oily buns steamed by Aunt Fang were so delicious."
"Just eat it. Your sister-in-law is still asleep and hasn't gotten up yet. We'll eat it together when she gets up."
"Xiaobai, come here."
Looking at Xiaobai who was squatting next to Li Heng's legs, Mazi clapped his hands and shouted.
As always, Xiaobai ignored him at all. No matter how many days he had been living here, whether it was barking or feeding, Xiaobai and Ben didn't even look at him, but Mazi still enjoyed it every day.
I want to tease you a little bit.
In his words, what if it succeeds one day?
"Brother, how did you teach the dog to be like this? No one cares about it except you and my sister-in-law."
Mazi finally got a little discouraged and asked dissatisfied.
"Where did I teach it? This dog is born smart." Li Heng smiled and stretched out his hand to scratch Xiaobai's chin, which made the guy's eyes narrow in comfort.
Little Bai is already seven or eight months old, probably because of the good food. He is tall and strong, and with his black hair, it is scary enough to stand there even if he is not purring.
"Go and see if the chicken lays eggs."
After grabbing its chin a few times, Li Heng patted its head and ordered.
After receiving the order, Xiaobai ran to the door of the reverse sitting room, put his front paws on the door, pushed the door open with a little force, and ran out a minute after entering, with an egg in his mouth.
.
Two days ago, Xiaobai held an egg in his mouth for the first time. He didn't use his strength well, and he smashed the egg with a pop.
Perhaps because he was worried that Fang Xiaoya would clean it up, he stayed in his nest obediently for the whole day, never leaving the nest except for drinking water, and not even eating.
Fang Xiaoya didn't know about it in the morning. When she came back from get off work in the afternoon, she found that the dog didn't even come out of the den to greet her. At that time, she thought the dog was sick. Later, she heard Li Heng talk about what happened in the morning, which made her very happy. .
Then he went over to comfort him for a long time, and then Xiaobai came out of the nest again.
Then I went to pick up the eggs the next day, and they were not broken.
Xiaobai put the egg in Li Heng's hand, turned around and ran back to the back room.
"Hey, that's strange. I laid two eggs today."
From the day it snowed, because the temperature dropped sharply, the two little hens seemed to have agreed that you would lay eggs today and I would lay eggs tomorrow. There was even a day when neither of them would lay eggs. Unexpectedly, one of them would lay eggs today.
Got one.
Sure enough, Xiaobai soon ran out of the house with another egg in his mouth. After handing it to Li Heng, he sat there and stuck out his tongue, like a child waiting for praise from his parents.
Mazi watched all this with great interest, and the more he watched, the more excited he became.
"Brother, you said that if I go back to Director Mingxia and ask for a dog, can she give it to me?"
"Don't you two have a very good relationship? Why can't I give it to you?"
Li Heng, who was squatting there, put the eggs in his hand on the ground beside his feet, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and threw one over, lit another one for himself and continued: "Say hello to her in advance.
, she will naturally keep them for you when her dogs regenerate. She gives away a few of them every year, no matter who she gives them to.
But let me tell you, Mazi, you have to think carefully and don’t get too excited for a moment. This thing is a life after all, and it’s not that easy to raise. There are a lot of things you have to do every day, especially when it’s young.
, don’t think about bringing trouble to other people’s puppies when you can’t raise them yourself, and make them suffer along with you.”
"Hey, brother, that's what you said." Mazi heard the black lines on his forehead: "Why can't I take care of myself?"
Li Heng was too lazy to say anything more to him and just waved his hand.
They are all adults in their twenties, and they have their own way of living. He is just called brother, and he is not a real brother. Even if he is a real brother, he cannot directly interfere in other people's lives.
This kid is now hanging out with people like Ma San Lame every day, and he is almost becoming the boss of those people.
But how can I put it... In fact, he was the one who pushed people over. Fortunately, these people were just making some money by doing various tickets. They were walking in a gray area and didn't do anything particularly egregious.
"Mazi, haven't Masan and his gang heard any information about the six fingers these days?"
"I asked about it last afternoon, and there was no special information." His brows knitted together at the mention of this pockmarked person. He slowly shook his head and said, "It feels as if this person doesn't exist. Logically speaking, he should have six fingers.
It’s an obvious feature, brother, do you think the waiter saw it wrong?”
"It's probably not a mistake, but neither you nor Lao Zeng have heard any news about this in the past few days. I doubt that guy is deliberately pretending."
"Deliberately pretending? Brother, are you saying that he actually doesn't have six fingers at all? He made the extra finger a fake one just to mislead others?"
"Yes, Sijiucheng is not small, but in fact it is not big. It has been four or five days. It is white and black. It is such an obvious mark but there is no useful information at all. I have to doubt him.
It’s six fingers in disguise.”
"Then if you put it this way, his Beihe accent is probably fake?"
"It's not impossible, but it's strange. There hasn't been any movement in the past few days since that day. I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd."
There was a trace of impatience in Li Heng's tone.
But it's really annoying. I have to be more vigilant every day to guard against bullets that I don't know where to shoot out from. If this goes on every day, who can stand it?
The impatience in his heart was suppressed by Li Heng as soon as it emerged. He suddenly realized that he couldn't be like this. This might be the enemy's intention to make him irritated and nervous.
The person who suddenly appeared that day to inquire about his information must have done this on purpose.
"Mazi, tell Ma San after work tomorrow so that his brothers don't have to inquire about this person."
After regaining his composure, Li Heng quickly figured out the twists and turns and decided not to do any useless work.
"What's wrong, brother? Why aren't you looking for me?"
"That guy did it on purpose. He exposed it on purpose just to make me feel unsure."
