My wife is in my arms

Chapter 53 New Family Member
Beside the lake.

Raindrops splashed into the lake, forming ripples. A large umbrella was held between two willow trees. Zhang You sat on a small stool and threw the bait on the hook into the lake.

Fishing is indeed addictive.

I'm quite addicted.

When he first arrived here, Zhang You had nothing to do, so he remembered that his former artist friend liked fishing, so after resting for a while and feeling less tired, he decided to give it a try. It would have been fine if he hadn't tried it, but once he tried it, he wanted to fish for a while as soon as he had nothing to do.

The little boy Shan, wearing thick clothes, leaned on Zhang You.

She would stretch out her little hands to stir the water for a while, then break off a willow branch and swing it back and forth in the water, until Zhang You put the blame for not catching any fish on her. The little girl finally gave up. She leaned against Zhang You with an unhappy face and urged him, "Dad, can we go home now? You've been fishing for more than an hour and haven't caught a single fish."

"Shh, don't say that, the fish will laugh at you."

Zhang You smiled and made a joke.

Today is a rainy day, which is indeed suitable for fishing, but you can't catch fish on all rainy days. I couldn't catch any fish in the black pit. Zhang You drove to the largest reservoir in the city this morning, but it was like the fish were afraid of rain and went home to hide. He didn't catch any fish until now.

"If the fish don't laugh at you, I will laugh at you, a big shot in the Air Force."

Xiaozi Shan said angrily.

"Don't worry, I'll fish for another half an hour and then we'll go back. You should relax on Sunday. Fishing can not only cultivate your sentiments, but also temper your temper. You're a little irritable now, which is the main reason why you didn't do well in the exam. So, I have a fishing rod in my box, you can fish with me."

Zhang You stared at the lake while talking to Xiao Zishan.

"I'm not fishing, you come back with me now..."

Speaking of it.

Xiao Zishan paused, and subconsciously turned her head to look into the distance, and asked in surprise, "Dad, did you hear any sound?!"

"heard it"

Zhang You didn't even turn his head, and then replied.

What kind of sound could there be... It's just that someone abandoned the puppy in such a place. This is not an uncommon thing. Just like on Earth, there is also rural urbanization here, which has resulted in many families being unable to keep cats and dogs. Occasionally, some people keep cats and dogs, but they will abandon them at will after they give birth to puppies a full month later.

"Come with me to see it"

Xiao Zishan spoke.

"don't go"

Zhang You replied.

"Are you going or not?!"

The little girl was so angry that she slapped the fishing rod in Zhang You's hand and glared at Zhang You.

"Go! Go! Go"

Zhang You had no choice but to put down his fishing rod, holding a small umbrella he had bought in the morning, and walked eastward with Xiao Zishan. In a short while, they saw a little gray puppy curled up under a willow tree, howling constantly.

The little gray puppy was soaked all over. He probably heard footsteps and raised his head to look over. Then his wailing became louder. He only barked a few times, not knowing whether it was because of hunger or the rain. He slowly lowered his head and lay on the ground. His body trembled and he let out a wailing that was much smaller than before.

"dad"

Xiaozi Shan immediately turned around and looked at Zhang You.

"impossible"

Zhang You refused without a second thought, saying, "I don't know how to keep a pet, and it's impossible for me to keep one."

"dad"

Xiao Zishan cried out again in a pleading tone, "It's so pitiful."

"Your mother raised me and you, do you expect her to raise a dog? Besides, raising a pet not only requires feeding, but also regular deworming and vaccination. Do you want me to do it or your mother to do it? Well, let's not worry about it. People have their own lives, dogs have their own lives, just take care of your own life."

After saying that, Zhang You was about to pull Xiao Zishan back, but the girl kicked her legs back and kept shouting "Daddy, Daddy"

"I told you it's impossible"

Zhang You spoke.

"dad"

The little girl cried out again. Seeing that her father was indifferent, she became anxious and said, "If you let me take this puppy home to raise, I will raise you when you grow up."

"..."

Zhang You was stunned.

He stopped and stared at Xiao Zishan with a strange look. The little girl thought her father's attitude had softened and begged, "Please let me raise you for a while! I promise to raise you too."

“Then I really have to thank this dog.”

Zhang You said something in a bad mood, then spoke again, "Alright! In view of your sincerity, I agree that you can take this dog back. But let me make it clear in advance that you have to take care of this dog yourself. When you are at school, I can help you feed it, but as long as you are at home, you have to do everything yourself. If you don't want to keep it anymore, I will throw it away immediately. Do you understand? "

Zhang You is not a heartless person.

He just understands that things that are too easy to get are often not cherished.

After all, a dog is a life. If you don't raise it, let it fend for itself. But if you raise it, you have to take responsibility for it. You can't just play with it for a few days and then suddenly lose interest and throw it away.

"Thank you dad"

Letting go of Zhang You's hand, Xiao Zishan ran over, not caring that the puppy was covered in mud and had yellow leaves on its head, and carefully picked it up. Then, he walked to Zhang You with a happy expression on his face.

The little greyhound, who had been in the rain for so long, might have felt the warmth and slowly raised its head from Xiao Zishan's arms.

After such a commotion.

Zhang You naturally couldn't continue fishing, so he walked to the lake and was about to pack up and go back.

"Where's my fishing rod!?"

Seeing that his fishing rod was gone, Zhang You quickly looked around.

"Dad, it seems like I was dragged away by a fish."

Following Xiao Zishan's gaze, Zhang You looked into the lake and saw a fishing rod in the distance moving rapidly forward, sometimes rising and sometimes sinking.

"Grass"

Zhang You couldn't help but curse, "You're trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain, kid Shan! Now you see it! And you still have the nerve to call me an Air Force boss? The strength shown by this fish alone is at least 50 kilograms."

"Dad, fish seem to be quite strong in the water. I think they weigh only five or six kilograms at most."

Xiao Zishan held the little gray dog ​​in his hands, tilted his head and thought for a while before replying.

"..."

Zhang You looked at Xiao Zishan who was a little angry. Seeing her father's expression, Xiao Zishan stuck out her tongue and then hugged the little gray dog ​​tighter, as if she was worried that her father would take his anger out on the dog.

After throwing the remaining bait into the lake, Zhang You first let Xiao Zishan get in the car. He then put the fishing gear and the big umbrella into the trunk, and then drove Xiao Zishan and the little greyhound with its head resting on her arm to a pet shop.

After feeding the little grey dog ​​some food in the store, having someone give it a bath, and checking to make sure there was nothing wrong, Zhang You bought two bags of dog food and some pet-raising equipment.

"Dad, this is the new member of our family"

Back in the car.

Xiao Zishan held up the puppy, which seemed to have recovered a little bit of spirit, and spoke with a smile.

"Your mother has a hard time, raising both people and pets. If she loses her job, two people will starve to death before, and now three people will starve to death."
