Chapter 36: Afu’s New Home

With the gratitude portion over, the atmosphere livened up.

Bai Hui didn’t dare to ask about Wei Tianxia’s affairs, only saying that since Zhuo Le was staying in Dongzhou City, did she need a job? They could help ask around to see where they were hiring.

Zhuo Le politely refused. Working was out of the question; she could never work in this lifetime.

Bluntly, she was someone who was supported by a dog, and in the future, she would also have a child to support, so she didn’t need to work.

The Ruan family only took it as a joke but immediately brought up Shanda Wang’s job.

The Ruan family had a lot to talk about then, as he was in the same industry as Ruan Mianmian.

“I thought Shanda Wang would go into the system. At that time, that Comrade Gao liked him so much. I didn’t expect him to enter the entertainment industry. He’s really amazing.

If we had known that Shanda Wang was also filming, we would have gone to visit the set.

Shanda Wang is so amazing, he must be good at everything. We will definitely go see the movie when it comes out.” Bai Hui held Shanda Wang’s dog head, becoming more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes full of pride.

Ruan Mianmian was also very excited. Her beloved life-saving dog had become a colleague. Would she be able to exchange experiences in the future?

“Auntie, what’s the name of the show Shanda Wang is in? I’ll have Dad inquire about it to see when it will be released.”

Ruan’s father took over Ruan’s grandfather’s business and was engaged in the real economy.

Originally, they were working for the country, but in recent years, state-owned enterprises have gradually declined, and private enterprises have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. The Ruan family’s factory used to be private and then became state-owned, and now it is slowly returning. Although the business model is constantly changing, the development has never stopped, especially in this era of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, pushing forward like a torrent, and developing quite well.

In terms of connections, they have never been lacking, and their social status is not low, so asking about this is just a matter of opening their mouths.

Of course, this is just a digression.

Zhuo Le: “It seems to be called General Divine Dog. That’s what they said before, but I didn’t pay attention to whether that’s the movie name. The director is Hu Shuo, a very rigorous director.”

Ruan’s father: “We know Director Hu. Mianmian played a cameo role in one of his movies before. He is indeed very rigorous in his work, and that’s why he can make so many good movies.

He is very talented and gifted in the director industry, and his industry reputation is also good. The movies he makes basically become hits.

I didn’t expect Shanda Wang to be the lead in his first film, and it’s Director Hu’s lead. Shanda Wang, you’re too amazing, aren’t you?”

Even Shanda Wang, who was steady, was praised by the Ruan family one after another, and his tail wagged wildly.

Zhuo Le smiled: “Shanda Wang is shy. Let’s go, I’ll treat you to something delicious for lunch. There’s a stew restaurant that opened on the street in front, it’s so delicious. I remember my brother-in-law said before that he’s from the north, right? It will definitely suit your taste.”

Bai Hui hurriedly stopped her: “Don’t, we brought a lot of food prepared at home. The old man and the old lady specially ordered us to let you taste it, and said that when you have time, bring Xiaojia and Shanda Wang to our house as guests, and they will cook themselves.

My in-laws’ cooking skills are very good. As long as Mianmian is at home, she doesn’t eat the food I make, she only wants to eat what her grandparents make.”

Since they had said this, they would definitely eat at home.

Bai Hui didn’t even need Zhuo Le to do anything, she took over most of the work herself, and Zhuo Le helped with the kid and the dog.

Ruan’s father had nothing to do, so he said he would go downstairs to buy some drinks.

Most of what Bai Hui brought were semi-finished foods, so they could be put in the pot and cooked directly, and the meal was served quickly.

It must be said that the cooking skills were indeed very good, and Zhuo Le couldn’t compare.

After lunch, Zhuo Le planned to take them out for a walk, but Bai Hui said that she had something to do in the afternoon and had specially squeezed out time to come and thank them.

Okay then, Zhuo Le searched the house, but it seemed like there was nothing to give as a return gift.

Her eyes fell on Afu, and she felt that the three people and a dog standing together were quite harmonious.

Giving a dog as a return gift shouldn’t be impolite.

“That, do you raise dogs?”

Both the people and the dog were a little surprised. Afu seemed to realize something, and his dog eyes were filled with mist. Did she not want him anymore?

His ears and tail drooped, and he was listless.

Zhuo Le stroked the dog’s head and said with a smile, “A Fu, I’m finding you unique love. We’re very happy to have you with us, and we like you very much.

But there’s one thing I have to admit, Mountain King is our family member that we’ve raised since he was a puppy. No one and nothing can compare to that bond.

If you stay, we will love you, but our love for you can’t be the only one.

A Fu, you’re a good boy, you deserve to have that unique love.”

“Awoo…” A Fu seemed to understand, whimpering and rubbing against Zhuo Le.

After comforting the dog, Zhuo Le looked at the Ruan family.

Before Zhuo Le spoke, they didn’t have this idea at all.

But after she spoke, the idea grew wildly.

Having a dog at home, a dog like Mountain King, seemed pretty good.

“Can we really raise it? What do we need to pay attention to? We’ve never raised one before, so we’re not sure and a little nervous.”

“Mom, I want to raise it. I like A Fu. A Fu is so good.”

Ruan Mianmian had already hugged the dog’s head.

A Fu was a little uncomfortable, stiffening its body, its tail wagging hesitantly.

Bai Hui glared at her playfully, “Mom didn’t say we’re not raising it. Aren’t we asking Auntie how to raise it? Raising a dog isn’t like playing with your dolls.

A Fu has a life, thoughts, and its own little temper. If you want to raise it, you have to take care of all aspects of it.

You have to take care of its food, drink, and bathroom needs, play with it, and tolerate its shortcomings.

Most importantly, raising it is a lifelong commitment. It can’t be like your toys, where you’re only interested for three days. Can you do that?”

“Yes.” Ruan Mianmian was afraid that if she answered too slowly, Bai Hui wouldn’t raise it.

Bai Hui believed her. Although her daughter was a bit spoiled and had a few quirks, she would do what she set her mind to, just like acting. If it was something she decided to do, she would endure any hardship and fatigue.

She would work until her face turned pale without saying stop, only secretly hiding away to cry.

“Okay, but you still have to ask A Fu if it’s willing to go with you.”

Ruan Mianmian hugged A Fu’s head and nuzzled it, “A Fu, come home with me and be my good friend, okay?

I’ll be good to you and protect you from being bullied.

I’ll take you to play and take you to eat good food. I’ll buy you whatever you like.

And you’ll be my only good friend. Will you come home with me?”

A Fu’s clear black and white eyes stared at Ruan Mianmian, then glanced at Ruan’s parents, who were smiling.

Finally, its gaze landed on Zhuo Le, Wei Xiaojia, and Mountain King.

The two people and one dog all looked encouraging. They all thought the Ruan family was a good place for A Fu to go, and A Fu would be blessed.

“Woof,” the dog’s head rubbed against Ruan Mianmian’s face.

Bai Hui didn’t understand and asked blankly, “Is that a yes?”

Zhuo Le nodded, “Yes, I hope you all get along well in the future, and A Fu can forget the pain and shadows of the past and become truly blessed with your love and companionship.”

“Yes, we will definitely make A Fu happy.”

Zhuo Le was still very worried about A Fu. Dogs that have been hurt, like people, can also become depressed, so she had to remind them a few more times.

“A Fu has become a bit timid because of the scum’s abuse, but it’s very smart. It used to be a top sheepdog. Recently, under Mountain King’s leadership, it has improved a lot. Encourage it more and train it a bit, and it will slowly get better.”

The Ruan family simultaneously cursed Ma Fugui and promised to take good care of A Fu.

After seeing off the three people and one dog, the two people and one dog felt empty inside.
