[Akita Inu Observation Diary: Akita Inu likes to eat fatty meat, braised pork in brown sauce, double-cooked pork, pickled pork with pickled vegetables, all of them are welcome. He eats a pile of fat every day, and he is still so smooth. What is the reason? 】

"Huo Huo Huo, what are you doing?"

Duan Yan pressed the send button, locked the screen of the phone, picked up the cup and walked into the kitchen to make coffee, without looking back: "What do you want from me?"

Xiang Mingqiu walked down the stairs: "Just now I received a call from a client who said that he would like to visit the puppy later."

The puppies have already found their owners before they were born, and now they are one and a half months old. Generally speaking, the kennel will send the puppies to their new home only after three months of full vaccination and their physical fitness is basically guaranteed.

Xiang Mingqiu told Duan Yan that the client happened to come to Xiangshan for a business trip this time, and planned to take this opportunity to visit the puppy and inspect the environment of the kennel.

"Boss seems to have caught a cold for the past few days. His nose has been running and his appetite is not very good. I plan to take him to the hospital for a check-up. The guest came over at ten o'clock in the morning. You can stay here to receive him later."

Duan Yan let out a "hmm", and was about to leave the kitchen with the hot brewed coffee, but was stopped by Xiang Mingqiu: "Were you making coffee just now?"

Before Duan Yan could speak, he immediately said, "By the way, give me a drink too."

The natural tone made Duan Yan a little upset. He was actually not happy about it, but he also felt that he was too petty to refuse the other party, so he reluctantly offered Xiang Mingqiu a portion.

He opened the disinfection cabinet, deliberately took out a rooster bowl as big as his face, and poured all the remaining coffee in the coffee pot into the bowl.

"what is this?"

"Coffee, can't you read it yourself?"

"I know, but why is your coffee served in a cup and the coffee for me is served in a big bowl?"

"What's wrong with serving it in a big bowl? The portion is so big and full, you'll fall down if you don't drink it."

Duan Yan said that he wanted to remove the cock bowl, Xiang Mingqiu snatched the big bowl on the table first, raised it to his mouth and blew a few times, and took a sip.

It was the first time I saw drinking coffee with a big bowl in my hands, how could I have such a gentle and elegant temperament, Duan Yan couldn't help but glanced a few more times, until Xiang Mingqiu looked up again, and the two eyes met , Duan Yan pretended to be nonchalant and slowly looked away.

"This bowl is a bit tacky, but the coffee is well brewed and delicious."

Duan Yan was a little unaccustomed to complimenting Ming Qiu, he didn't answer, turned around, and stretched out his hands uncomfortably to touch the back of his neck.

After drinking coffee, the two worked separately, Xiang Mingqiu took the sick Boss to the animal hospital, and Duan Yan stayed behind to take care of the internal affairs.

It was already 10:30 in the morning, and the agreed time had already passed, and the guest who promised to come to see the dog hadn't even seen a shadow.

Duan Yan always hated people who were not punctual, so he was impatient to wait. He rushed into the office aggressively, opened the drawer of the desk, took out the on-duty notebook, flipped through to find the page of today's diary, and prepared to make a phone call. After questioning the other party, when his eyes fell on the name on the first line, his brows were raised slantingly, showing a somewhat surprised expression.

Fifteen minutes later, an imposing middle-aged man in a suit knocked on the door of the kennel.

Duan Yan quickly adjusted his appearance, stepped forward to greet him, stood straight in front of the middle-aged man, gave a military salute respectfully, and shouted in a loud and clear voice: "Captain Cao!"

Cao Zhongwen shook his head with a smile, and waved at him: "Okay, okay, we have left the army long ago, we are no longer company commanders, we need to change our title, we will be called Brother Wen from now on."

Duan Yan smiled: "I'm used to shouting, I can't change it."

Although it was just a coincidence, neither of them expected to meet again at such a time.

"I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for so long. The taxi I took collided with the bus in the next lane on the way here. The co-pilot's door was blocked by the bus body. I couldn't get out for a while. It's been a toss until now." Cao Zhongwen explained to Duan Yan in an apologetic tone.

"It doesn't matter, as long as people are fine."

After seeing each other for several years, the two naturally had a lot to talk about. After Duan Yan took Cao Zhongwen upstairs to see the puppy, they went out to have lunch together for a while.

From Cao Zhongwen's mouth, Duan Yan learned that the reserved puppy was a birthday present he prepared for his daughter-in-law.

In the early years, Cao Zhongwen left the army and went back to his hometown to do business. Although his career was very exciting, he had no time to accompany his family. Cao Zhongwen knew that his wife liked the puppy named Bai Xue in "The Adventures of Tintin" very much. He asked around, and last year At the end of the year, through the introduction of an acquaintance, I booked a wire-haired fox terrier puppy in this evergreen kennel.

After talking about his own affairs, Cao Zhongwen laughed and teased: "Yan Zi, why did you go to raise a dog? It doesn't match your status as a young master."

Duan Yan felt a little helpless: "My dad opened this kennel, and now I'm just taking over and taking care of it."

"Oh? It seems that your relationship with Dad has eased a lot now."

With a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, he said truthfully: "My dad has already left. As for what happened a while ago, it was quite sudden. Until the day he left, our relationship was not good."

"Sorry." Cao Zhongwen felt a little sorry for what he said just now.

"Hey, it's okay." Duan Yan waved his hand, picked up chopsticks and put a piece of grilled steak into Cao Zhongwen's bowl, "Come on, company commander, try our special dishes! Eat more and don't be polite to me!"

The troops are very affectionate, and the two who haven't seen each other for a long time seem to always have endless conversations. The original lunch was postponed to afternoon tea. If Cao Zhongwen hadn't booked the return flight in the evening, this gathering would probably continue.

After sending Cao Zhongwen to the airport, Duan Yan drove back to Fengyuan Village by himself.

When passing by the canteen at the entrance of the village, Duan Yan was going to get out of the car to buy a pack of cigarettes, he glanced out the window, and suddenly found a person suspected of Xiang Mingqiu on the seat outside the canteen.

The guy was holding a bottle of Vitasoy in his hand, and there was a girl sitting beside him. The girl looked very young. Duan Yan immediately recognized the sailor uniform she was wearing, and she was a student from the nearby Huaqiao High School.

Seeing the two talking and laughing, they seemed to be quite familiar. Duan Yan was a little curious about the relationship between them. Suddenly, Xiang Mingqiu raised his hand, stretched it to the girl's hair, and gently plucked it. thread.

Duan Yan immediately dismissed the idea of ​​buying cigarettes, cast a contemptuous glance at Ming Qiu, stepped on the gas pedal to accelerate away, and cursed to himself in the car: "You old bastard will flirt with anyone!"

With 3% battery left on the phone, Duan Yan returned to the kennel and went straight to the room. When he was approaching the third floor, he heard a rustling sound.

That movement came from Xiang Mingqiu's bedroom, that guy is still teasing girls in front of the small shop at the entrance of the village, it is impossible to teleport back to the house in a second.

Duan Yan immediately became vigilant, he subconsciously stepped lightly, quietly came to the door of the bedroom, and took a look inside.

Xiang Mingqiu's clothes were messily scattered on the floor, and a strange man was squatting with his back facing the direction of the door. He didn't know what he was doing, and his every move seemed suspicious to Duan Yan.

Why is the house broken into again? !This time it was still in broad daylight, how bad was the security of the village? !

After the previous experience, the furious Duan Yan decided to act first. He decisively picked up a red plastic bag on the floor of the room, flew behind the man, and firmly wrapped the plastic bag on the man's head.

The other party was caught off guard and began to struggle in a hurry. He swung his elbow back and hit Duan Yan's abdomen. The pain made Duan Yan unable to straighten his waist for a while.

He kicked the opponent with an eye for an eye, and wanted to continue to fight back, but suddenly a hand stretched out from behind, grabbed Duan Yan's collar, and pulled him away from the man with all his strength.

"Fire, fire! Stop it!"

It was the first time Duan Yan heard Xiang Mingqiu yell at him, he got upright and yelled back with the same volume: "Xiang Mingqiu, are you blind? Didn't you see the thief in the house?!"

Stunned for half a second, Xiang Mingqiu looked at Yang Rong who was sitting on the ground gasping for breath, then looked at the messy clothes on the ground, and finally realized that Duan Yan mistook Yang Rong for a thief, and explained with a sigh: "Isn't he Thief, you misunderstood, I brought him here."

"Don't bring messy people here!"

"It happened for a reason. I didn't have time to tell you because you weren't here just now."

Yang Rong, who finally got over his breath, pointed at Duan Yan and cursed: "Murder, you?! Putting plastic bags over other people's heads, are you fucking crazy!"

"What is it about being insane? If you have the ability, you put me in a lunatic asylum." Duan Yan was angry with him, and threw a look of contempt after he finished speaking.

Gritting his teeth, Yang Rong suddenly trembled, as if recalling something, turned to Ming Qiu and complained loudly: "Brother Qiu, I know this guy, he is the wretched man who secretly took pictures of you downstairs last time!"
