Pet Clinic Story

This winter in Zhongcheng is dry and lacks water. The water levels of several large and small reservoirs in the city have dropped to record lows. The water supply of the whole city is in short supply, and some areas have even begun to implement temporary water restriction policies.

Zhongcheng is economically developed, and wealth is also hidden in the people. Both GDP and per capita disposable income are among the best in the country, and so-called invisible rich people abound.

However, in this world, some things cannot be solved by money, such as climate change and natural disasters.

In order to solve the problem of water supply, the city government had no choice but to implement artificial rainmaking, urging it to fall day and night, and it finally succeeded. Therefore, during the Spring Festival holiday this year, there was a rare day of slanting wind and drizzle in Zhongcheng. Although it caused a lot of inconvenience to travel, it is still It does not hinder the enthusiasm of the citizens to celebrate the New Year.

On the New Year’s Eve reunion night, relatives go away on the first day of the new year, daughters-in-law go back to their natal homes on the second day of the new year, and on the third day of the new year, it is rumored that it is the red dog day, and it is not suitable to go out.

However, the third day of junior high school this year is a bit special. It happens to be Valentine's Day in the West. Many couples go out shopping on this day, and some go to the cinema to watch New Year's movies.

Zhou Shuyang and Situ Yue agreed early in the morning that Situ Yue would visit Zhou Shuyang's home on the third day of junior high school.

The two have been dating for a while, and although there is no so-called formal confession, they have long regarded each other as partners. It is the Chinese New Year, so naturally they have to visit each other's door, so it is considered proper etiquette.

After noon, Zhou Shuyang received a message from Situ Yue, so he took an umbrella and strolled out along the path leading to the entrance of the village to pick up Situ Yue who was coming.

The spring rain kept pattering, hitting the wet and soft ground, arousing bursts of fresh breath, which mixed with the fragrance of green grass and the fragrance of soil.

Both sides of the village road are full of camellias and azaleas. It is not the flowering period now, and the dusty leaves are washed bright by the rain. Looking around, the spring is full of spring, which makes people feel refreshed.

At the entrance of the village, after waiting for less than 10 minutes, the online car-hailing car stopped in front of him. Situ Yue got out of the car and saw Zhou Shuyang waiting for him with an umbrella. He immediately showed a bright smile.

"How long have you been waiting?" Situ Yue walked over quickly and asked with a smile.

"Not long." Zhou Shuyang said casually, while tilting the umbrella slightly towards Situ Yue, he took the gift in his hand and said, "I didn't come out until I received your notice."

Situ Yue hummed, took Zhou Shuyang's hand, but didn't move, just embraced him in his arms, and said in a low voice, "Do you miss me?"

"A little bit, sir." Zhou Shuyang smiled, and then asked: "Do you miss me?"

Situ Yue: "I really want to."

Zhou Shuyang: "Then give me a kiss."

When the words fell, Situ hugged Zhou Shuyang tightly, covered his lips, and kissed tenderly. The flower umbrella quietly fell to cover the couple who were being intimate. The raindrops fell on the umbrella surface, making continuous ticking sounds, time As if solidified, only the two of them remained in the world.

Parting his lips, Zhou Shuyang lightly scratched Situ Yue's face, and said softly, "Go, take you to my house."

They intertwined their fingers, shared an umbrella, and walked leisurely on the clean country road.

Zhou Shuyang's parents are not in the same village. The family originally lived in Zhou's father's village. The village was demolished the year before last and they got a lot of money. The couple did not move to a building like other villagers, but returned to Yunqiao where Zhou's mother was born. Village, continue to live in small rural buildings.

The houses in Yunqiao Village were built by the village committee. Every household lived in an earthen villa. There was a [-]-square-meter yard in front of the door. Many households had fully hardened it for storing daily tools, drying clothes and waxed food.

Zhou Shuyang’s home has only hardened a little bit, and the rest is still land. Zhou’s mother planted some flowers and plants on it, as well as a small amount of vegetables. The cultivated land in Zhongcheng Village is still some distance from the homestead. It is very convenient to pull out a few.

As soon as he entered the house, Situ Yue said politely: "Uncle, Auntie, Happy Chinese New Year!"

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother immediately stood up from the sofa in the living room, both smiling happily, and said in unison: "Hey! Happy New Year, Happy New Year! Situ is here, sit down!"

Situ Yue first presented the bought New Year's gift, then sat down as promised, and greeted the couple politely.

Zhou's mother laughed so hard that her eyes narrowed, she couldn't help but tugged at Situ Yue, and asked about his health, first about the health of his parents, then about what to eat and drink on New Year's Eve, in short, she cared all over from beginning to end.

After chatting for a long time, Zhou Shuyang suddenly said, "I'll take you to my room, will you go?"

"Okay." Situ Yue said.

Watching her son take Situ Yue's hand naturally, the two of them walked side by side intimately, and disappeared at the end of the stairs. Mother Zhou lowered her voice and said, "Hey, old Zhou, do you think Situ looks like a daughter-in-law?"

Father Zhou: "..."

Back then, on that unremarkable summer evening, when Zhou Shuyang blew himself up about his sexual orientation, both husband and wife were shocked. Zhou's father's mind went blank, Zhou's mother's eyes went dark, and the two of them didn't sleep well all night.

Zhou's father couldn't help but sighed, while Zhou's mother thought that the hope of her children and grandchildren had been shattered, and her heart could not help but burst into pieces.

She even began to try to recall, did she see something strange when she was pregnant, which made her son not interested in girls, but liked the same sex? !

Are sweet-smelling girls bad?

How could someone like someone of the same sex as themselves?

The two originally planned to have a couple's doubles, but Zhou Shuyang was not stupid. After dropping the bomb, he fled without a trace and hid outside for three full days before returning home.

During this period, the couple were shocked at first, then sad, and finally numb. They both have big-hearted personalities, so the resentment came and went quickly.

Since then, they began to subconsciously pay attention to this special group, and then learned a lot of common sense from the Internet.

Zhou's mother even knew what 1 was and what 0 was, and she relayed it to her husband, and the two couldn't help but be amazed.

It turns out that there is a need to divide the base into upper and lower levels, as well as "men and women"!

After figuring it out, they began to accept it, and through meticulous investigation, they checked their seats, and they were sure that their son was still a famous man, so they hoped that he could bring a son-in-law home as soon as possible, so that they could have a stable family in the future.

It doesn't matter whether he is a man or a woman, in short, the family is harmonious, the two love each other, go hand in hand, and the son can be taken care of, and as parents, they will feel at ease.

Before that, Zhou Shuyang had only brought one boy home, and that was when he was still in college, and he confessed to the couple that the boy was his boyfriend.

Zhou's mother vaguely remembered that the boy was very delicate, with white and tender skin, very thin and thin, and was a dozen centimeters shorter than her own son. He spoke softly and looked like a Xiaojiabiyu.

Later, the two broke up for some reason, and Zhou's mother didn't dare to ask any more questions, but through years of study, she could also sum up a set of specific characteristics of a male daughter-in-law. However, after talking with Situ Yue today, she always felt that something was wrong.

Although this was not the first time she met Situ Yue, they had met once during the red bayberry season last year.

But at that time, she didn't think about it deeply. After all, the two big boys were colleagues, and Zhou Shuyang yelled "good rabbits don't eat grass beside the nest" from time to time, so she only thought that the two of them just had mutual affection, so she didn't observe Situ carefully. cross.

Hearing his wife's question, Zhou's father hesitated for a moment, and said uncertainly, "It should be... right?"

"What's supposed to be?" Zhou's mother said, "Remember it carefully, isn't it?"

Father Zhou rolled his eyes, trying to recall the scene just now, and finally said: "Whatever, the two children only need to have a good relationship? The rest is not important!"

"It doesn't matter why!" Zhou's mother was upset, and said firmly: "I think it must be, look at how handsome Situ is!"

"He is taller than his son." Father Zhou said casually.

"It's just a little bit higher!" Mother Zhou said unconvinced.

"It's darker than our son." Father Zhou added.

"What do you know!" Zhou's mother said, "Boys are white now, which doesn't mean anything."

Zhou's father continued to insert the knife: "But he looks much stronger than Shuyang."

Mother Zhou: "..."

"It must be the daughter-in-law anyway!" Finally, Zhou's mother snorted angrily.

In the evening, Zhou's mother cooked a table full of delicacies. The two adults and two children sat around the table, toasting and toasting each other.

"Situ, Auntie doesn't know how to cook very much." Zhou's mother said modestly, "I just cooked some home-cooked food casually. Don't dislike Auntie's craftsmanship."

"How could it be?" Situ Yue said with a smile.

Mother Zhou: "Try it quickly, you're welcome."

Situ Yue nodded, and under Zhou's mother's benevolent gaze, he tasted every dish on the table.

Zhongcheng is close to the sea, and the locals like to eat seafood. There are also various ways to cook seafood. The common ones are mainly scallion oil, steamed, and there is also a local specialty - eating raw.

For example, the red paste soy crab on this table is made from the first-class East China Sea female crab full of paste, marinated with salt and wine, cut open when eating, dipped in vinegar and mustard, fully retaining the original flavor of sea crab, It is a must-eat dish for locals in Zhongcheng during Chinese New Year.

There is also steamed East China sea hairtail. Compared with other sea areas, the East China Sea hairtail is particularly thin and small, but for some reason, it probably benefits from the yellow mud water quality of the East China Sea, and its taste is extremely delicious.

Others include smoked fish, sea melon seeds in scallion oil, boiled snails, etc., all of which are processed according to the local habits. Although they look ordinary, they taste completely irresistible.

Zhou's mother picked up a piece of chicken for Situ Yue and said, "This is homemade fermented glutinous rice chicken. You can eat it. I deliberately didn't make it too salty. You young people now have a bland taste."

Situ Yue smiled and said thank you, then tasted it.

This dish is somewhat similar to Shanghai white chopped chicken. Fresh three-yellow chicken is selected, boiled for a while, and then marinated with salt and glutinous rice wine. The taste is smooth, and the chicken is so tender that it melts in the mouth. Very tasty.

Situ Yue swallowed the food in his mouth, put down the bowl and chopsticks, gave a thumbs up to Zhou's mother, and sincerely praised: "The fermented glutinous rice chicken is perfect, auntie, you are really good at cooking!"

"Hahaha, the child's mouth is so sweet!" Mother Zhou smiled from ear to ear, extremely happy.

After eating for a while, Zhou's mother coughed lightly and gave her husband a wink. Zhou's father understood, and hurriedly took out the big red envelope that he had prepared a long time ago from his pocket, and handed it to Situ Yue.

"Situ," Zhou's father said, "this is a wish from my uncle and aunt. I wish you good health and success this year."

Situ Yue got up immediately, bowed and said, "Uncles and aunts are too polite. It's not easy for you to make money. I can't take that."

"It must be accepted." Zhou's mother said, "This is our rule here. How can we not have less greetings when we come to the door for the first time. Be obedient and accept it."

Situ Yue: "..."

First visit... a meeting ceremony?
