"Yeah, he told me not to worry, so I'm just nervous. I'm afraid I won't be able to satisfy the two elders," Lin Chu said.
"Oh right, he told you that his father passed away a long time ago. What about his mother?" the old director suddenly asked.
Only then did Lin Chu remember that when Yan Beicheng had told her, he had only mentioned his father. He hadn't said anything about his mother. He had also said that there were only the two elders and Yan Huaian in the family now. He hadn't included his mother.
These days, she was always nervous about meeting his parents, so she didn't have time to think too much. Now that the old director mentioned it, she felt that Yan Beicheng seemed to be deliberately not mentioning his mother.
If there was nothing else, no one would forget their mother.
Since Yan Beicheng didn't mention it, Lin Chu thought that there might be something else. If he didn't say it now, she wouldn't ask. When he wanted to tell her in the future, he would naturally tell her.
She felt that Yan Beicheng wouldn't deliberately hide anything from her. If he didn't say it now, maybe there was a barrier in his heart, or maybe there was some reason that he couldn't say. If he could say it, he would have told her long ago.
The old director nodded in agreement. Just then, he heard a commotion at the door.
Lin Chu put down the dumpling wrappers she had just picked up and walked out. She saw Mo Jinxi carrying a small puppy in his arms. However, its fur was missing here and there, revealing the skin underneath. The rest of the fur was dirty and tangled together, and there was still cold snow on its fur.
Looking at it, she could recognize that it was a husky.
"Chu Chu, look at it." Mo Jinxi ran over.
Because of the lack of fur, the dog in her arms was shivering from the cold.
"What happened?" Lin Chu asked in surprise.
"We were playing in the yard just now, and we saw someone throw it away by the roadside. We chased after him and called him back, but he didn't come back. Then, we saw someone say that the dog looked sick, so that's why the person threw it away, "Mo Jinxi said, his eyes wet.
Tian Tian was already crying. "Why … Why is he so bad! He can be cured if he's sick. Why did he throw it away? The dog is so pitiful! "
When Tian Tian cried, the other little ones also started crying. The little fellows all thought of themselves. None of them had parents who wanted them. Were they also abandoned by the side of the road like this?
Children were naturally compassionate, and at this moment, they were even more upset.
"Don't cry. I think it has a skin disease. I will take it to the pet hospital to see if there are other problems. I will try to save it," said Lin Chu. He took the little Husky from Mo Jinxi's arms. He didn't care if it was dirty. "However, I've been making dumplings with Ol 'President. Now that I'm gone, Ol' President won't be able to handle everything alone. You guys should go and help Ol 'President. It's cold outside, don't run outside. "
"Chuchu, I want to go with you to treat the puppy," said Mo Jinxi.
"Be good and wait here. If anything happens, I will call back at any time," said Lin Chu.
It was cold outside, and the puppy was weak, so she didn't dare to give it a bath. She could only find a blanket to wrap it up, and then she went out to take a taxi to the pet hospital nearby.
Fortunately, it wasn't a big problem. It was just a skin disease that caused the hair to fall off. But nowadays, the pet hospital's fees were no cheaper than that of humans. In fact, they were even more expensive, so many people abandoned their pets because of such a small problem.
The doctor gave the puppy an anti-inflammatory injection and prescribed oral and applied ointment. Lin Chu thought that since he was already here, this puppy was really pitiful. Moreover, it would take some time to cure the disease. Whether it was temporarily or permanently, he had to take care of it during this period of time. So, he simply let the doctor vaccinate it.
After several injections, the puppy was in pain and couldn't stop shaking. When Lin Chu picked it up, he pulled the pinhole and heard it scream.
"Don't give it a bath for a week. If there is a skin disease, you can clean it, disinfect it, and then apply ointment," said the doctor.
Lin Chu clearly remembered the precautions and asked the puppy what was suitable to eat now.
The doctor looked at its teeth and said it was three or four months old. He recommended several puppy food, dog milk powder, and calcium supplements. Lin Chu remembered them one by one.
Today was Chinese New Year's Eve, and it was especially hard to get a taxi. Lin Chu waited on the side of the road for a long time before he stopped a taxi that was ready to go home early. When he heard that the place was close and it was on the way, he agreed to get in the car.
After such a busy time, it was almost five o 'clock when he returned. The sky was already half dark.
Lin Chu got out of the car and saw a woman who looked about 50 years old pacing in front of the orphanage. From time to time, she looked through the iron fence of the orphanage.
The woman wasn't dressed well. It looked like an old down jacket, and the leather of the boots on her feet was torn.
"What's the matter?" Lin Chu asked suspiciously.
The woman was stunned and quickly shook her head. "No, no."
She didn't look at Lin Chu. She quickly turned around and glanced inside.
Lin Chu frowned slightly. He was afraid that she wasn't here to throw away the abandoned baby. He looked around and didn't find anything wrong. He could only pretend that he met a strange person, so he pushed the door open and went in.
When it was dark, he didn't forget to lock the door.
When Lin Chu entered the door, the little guys all surrounded him. "Chu Chu, how's the dog?"
The old director also came out. He was also very worried.
"It's okay. It's just a skin disease." Lin Chu said, "I gave it an injection and bought some medicine. But because it has a skin disease, if you touch it, remember to wash your hands and disinfect it. "
The children nodded obediently. "Then … Can we raise it?"
"It needs someone to take care of it now. The old director is old and it's inconvenient. You guys are too young. I'll bring it home during this period of time. When I come back, I'll definitely bring it with me, okay?" Lin Chu discussed.
Although the children were reluctant, they could only agree when they saw the puppy's pitiful appearance.
"Can we give it a name?" Tian Tian asked. Her small hand couldn't help but touch the puppy's head.
"Sure. Think about it. What name should we give it?" Lin Chu said with a smile.
"Is it male or female?" Stone blinked and asked curiously.
"It's a girl." Lin Chu said.
Mo Jinxi stared at the puppy for a long time and said, "How about … how about we call it New Year's Eve? Because we brought it back today. "
This was a good name. The other children unanimously agreed. So, the puppy's name was decided.
The children were excited and kept shouting "New Year's Eve." "New Year's Eve."
"It can't touch water yet. Don't take it to take a bath." Lin Chu said.
After the little guys promised, Lin Chu asked, "How's the dumplings?"
"It's great! We're rolling the dumpling wrappers on the side. It's very fast! "Tian Tian said happily." The old director praised us for doing a good job! The dumplings are all done! "
"We don't have anything prepared for the puppy here. I just found a few old blankets and made a simple small bed for it. Let it sleep on it for now. "The old director said and went to take out the blankets.
There were several layers of blankets. They were thick and warm.
Lin Chu put New Year's Eve on the blankets. He went to the kitchen and poured a small saucer of milk. He also steamed the minced meat. He didn't add any seasoning. He mixed it with the vegetables for New Year's Eve. He was going to the flower, bird, and fish market tomorrow. He wanted to buy a pot of flowers for Grandpa Yan, so he also bought some dog food and calcium tablets for New Year's Eve.
Smelling the fragrance of New Year's Eve, its originally gray eyes gradually brightened after seeing the kindness of Lin Chu and the others. The warmth of the room also made it gradually relax. It tentatively wagged its tail.
