Name of the Beloved

That year, the love of Hoai Nguyet and Lo Phong could truly be said to be full of wind and snow. The eldest sister and the second sister in the dorm room all said that they didn't expect this girl to not fall in love, that once she falls in love, she makes people jealous, that she found the kind of boyfriend who makes waves in spring, admires lotus flowers in summer, is sad in autumn, and enjoys snow in the winter wind. Valentine's Day, Christmas, Nguyen Tieu, March 8th are all never missed. Candlelight dinners by the river are so romantic that they make everyone's eyes red.

Hearing that, Hoai Nguyet felt extremely sweet in her heart, only third sister Dang Duyen Duyen didn't think it was right. Hoai Nguyet is a simple girl, at home she is her parents' darling, in the dormitory she is everyone's youngest sister. It was not until her third year of college that she held the hand of a boy for the first time, of course that boy was the main one. is Lo Phong. That year, Hoai Nguyet was 21 years old, Lo Phong was already 27. A long time later, Hoai Nguyet realized that at 27 years old, Lo Phong could no longer be called a boy. Wherever Lo Phong goes, he is a sparkling diamond, has a good family background, and his parents are both university lecturers; Good education, graduated from a prestigious university in the US; good career, working as a lawyer at a famous law office; good appearance, absolutely considered a free-spirited jade tree in forestry. Thanks to these advantages, since high school he has been actively pursued by countless girls. His parents, one studying literature, the other studying civil procedure law, are both extremely serious people, but their son has a destiny that makes Professor Tan, his mother, extremely angry. headache. At that moment, Hoai Nguyet coincidentally came to the door. Hoai Nguyet's purpose for finding Professor Tan is extremely clear. In the second semester of my third year, friends in the dormitory spent all day discussing whether to take the civil service exam or take the graduate school exam. The Chinese Department is a public department, with no advantages when applying for a job. Hoai Nguyet's personality is naturally arbitrary. She feels that she is not suitable to be a lowly civil servant, so she does not dare to mess around in a state agency, but when applying to companies, most people only work as secretaries and students. So many years of literary history and literary criticism were completely wasted, so she was not satisfied. Therefore, she decided to prepare for graduate school. Whether doing homework or writing essays, Hoai Nguyet always tries her best, and indeed she gradually attracted Professor Tan's attention. One time, Hoai Nguyet hesitantly told her professor that she wanted to take the graduate exam, so when Professor Tan invited his graduate students to dinner, he often called her over. It was at a party at his house that Lo Phong met and immediately fell in love with Hoai Nguyet. Dang Duyen Duyen and Hoai Nguyet sleep on the bottom bunk. When Hoai Nguyet fell into love and couldn't find a direction, Dang Duyen Duyen always frowned and warned her that she could not love a lawyer, saying that ladies in divorce court liked to seduce young lawyers to have affairs with her. me. Dang Duyen Duyen's father is a lawyer. After the divorce, her mother married a beautiful young girl, so Dang Duyen Duyen has a deep hatred for this legal profession. At that time, Hoai Nguyet always said heartlessly, our Lo Phong will not be like that, he is not short of money. Only then did she realize how funny her sentence was. Men do not lack money to look for women. Although Lo Phong did not look for a divorced lady, he did seduce another woman. That woman ran to tell her that she was pregnant by her husband, and if she forced her to have an abortion, she would die along with the baby. Hoai Nguyet never thought she would actually commit suicide, because people who really want to commit suicide won't say it out loud. But her heart was cruel and cold. Lo Phong knelt in front of her and begged for a long time, but she still decided to divorce. That year she was 28 years old, her son Dau Dau was 3 years old. Hoai Nguyet is not from this city. After the divorce, her parents advised her to go back to her hometown and start over, but she couldn't bear Dau Dau. As long as she was in this city, she could at least watch him grow up. Dau Dau was given to Lu Phong to raise, the Lu family had a lawyer, and a teacher of lawyers, of course she couldn't dispute. But she didn't want to fight. Her teacher held Dau Dau with tears in his eyes and refused to let go. As a student, what else could she say? Lo Phong knew she was wrong, all the real estate and cash were given to her. Initially, they had a townhouse in the suburbs. They occasionally came to stay on weekends and usually lived in a 150 square meter apartment in an expensive subdivision in the city center. She couldn't bear to leave that townhouse, the vegetables in front and back of the house were all grown by herself, so she sold the apartment and completely threw it away like rags. In that apartment, she didn't know when there had been the smell of another woman. Just thinking about it made her feel nauseous. After knowing this, Lo Phong's face turned pale, knowing clearly that she had decided not to turn back. Hoai Nguyet used the money from selling the apartment and added a little money to buy two other apartments, one in a newly built house in the west of the city, 120 square meters, because it was a period of frozen real estate so the price was discounted. so many. Over the past few years, she has been influenced by Lu Phong a lot, thinking that depositing money in the bank is an unforgivable act of self-devaluation, and that only turning it into fixed assets is the best investment choice. Having this apartment can be rented or resold, you always feel more secure than leaving your money in the bank. Now, unlike before, she has to learn how to make money to take care of Dau Dau's future. Another apartment is an old 80 square meter apartment in the city center, close to where she works. Most importantly, downstairs there is a bus that goes directly to the adjacent house. When driving, Hoai Nguyet always feels stressed. She is a pure nerd. Although she has had a driver's license for 3 years, the number of times she has driven can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Over the past few years, Lo Phong has been very good to her. He bought all of her clothes, inside and out, and he took them wherever he went. During the divorce, Lo Phong wanted to give her the whole car but Hoai Nguyet did not take it, she felt that going to work by bus would be less worrying. "What's there to regret, that kind of scum!" Dang Duyen Duyen disappointedly lectured her, "Hoai Nguyet, now you have money and a house, start from scratch properly, 28 years old is not considered late, you can still be picky." Dang Duyen Duyen is a great beauty, her facial features are very beautiful, she is currently a television reporter, sometimes this face also appears briefly on the TV screen. Thuong Hoai Nguyet is still surprised, with her qualifications and beauty, it's not impossible to be a presenter, so why do she have to work as a reporter that no one knows about. "Idiot, do you think that you can be a host based on your good looks, beautiful face, and excellent qualifications as a student in the Chinese language department?" Dang Duyen Duyen appeared indifferent, "There must be support, if you are liked by any character in the station or by your superiors, people will naturally have to give way to you. It's a pity that this lady despises her." I want to serve those arrogant old men, it's so dirty." In the inner city, Dang Duyen Duyen has a 100 square meter apartment, of course bought for her by her father. She always spends money wastefully, in such a job position she always has to dress beautifully, and basically has nothing saved up. "It's the last time I get to tease the old man, so I have to be a little cruel." She looked very pleased, but deep down in her eyes, she looked hurt and couldn't hide it. After the divorce, Hoai Nguyet lived a very disciplined life, from Monday to Friday she went to work at a magazine editor, every other Saturday and Sunday she welcomed Dau Dau to her adjacent house, and spent the rest of the weekend with friends like Dang Duyen Duyen walks around drinking tea to kill time. After getting used to it, she felt that there was nothing bad about it, at least it was much more free and comfortable than before. Dau Dau goes to a 24-hour daycare center and only takes her home on Friday evenings. The three adults in the Lu family are usually very busy. When it's their turn to take their grandchild home on weekends, the grandparents wholeheartedly play with him, and also force Lo Phong to spend time with their son, which makes her feel a little uncomfortable. appease. She was most afraid that her child would be affected psychologically because of her parents' divorce, so she hesitated many times before, but now it seems that letting Lo Phong raise her child is not bad, at least she can force Lo Phong takes responsibility as a father. As for the future, she didn't want to think about what it would be like to wait for the woman to say that she was pregnant and give birth. A mother's love, anytime, anywhere, is devoted to her children. Surely that woman has already given birth? She thought coldly. Although because of Dau Dau's relationship, she often met Lo Phong, but Lo Phong was always very careful not to mention that woman's name, still not letting a drop of water slip through like before, hiding his love from her. Dau Dau pointed to his grandmother's house. Besides knowing that his father had left his mother for someone else, he had never even seen that woman's face. She speculated that this might be a compensation from her husband's parents for feeling guilty because she did not dispute. I wonder if that woman gave birth to a boy or a girl? She looked bewildered as she looked at the flower garden full of life and lush branches and leaves. When she gave birth to Dau Dau, the palace door was slow to open, and she was in pain for a day and a night. Lo Phong's impatient and pitiful appearance was still clearly visible before her eyes. Now, this pity is for someone else, thinking about this makes the corners of her eyes sting. "Mom, mom, you're too lazy to do anything." Dau Dau unhappily pulled the corner of her shirt, a pair of big dark eyes looked up at her, on her white face were two faint mud stains. Hoai Nguyet regained her composure, quickly opened the plastic bag in her hand and smiled approvingly, saying: "Look at Dau Dau, Mom has picked quite a bit! Is it enough?" After the divorce, because she could not get used to her new life, she focused on taking care of the flower and vegetable garden on the terrace. After Tet, she sowed peas and broad beans. By the 1st of May, the results had begun. After a week of returning, there were many very happy-looking fruits. When the series of townhouses in Kim Do flower garden started selling in the second phase, real estate was starting to fall into a period of decline. To attract buyers, the investor designed a flower garden of 100 square meters including the perimeter wall. Although it cannot be compared to the villas with 300 square meter flower gardens in the first sale, in the current real estate market, adjacent houses that can have such independent flower gardens are rare. When they bought this house, Hoai Nguyet was pregnant with Dau Dau. Lu Phong said that now, if the vegetables and melons do not have pesticides, they also have growth stimulants that are too standard. We will grow vegetables in this garden in the future. , ensuring your pet will be able to eat the safest vegetables and melons. Things are unpredictable, after only living for a year after renovating and installing the house, my beloved father has already found new happiness. Dau Dau poured the beans from his plastic bag into his mother's bag, looked for a moment, then shook his mother's head and said, "The teacher taught us to be generous when giving gifts to others. In case there are a lot of people in the neighbor's house, we give a little." maybe there won't be enough to eat." Hoai Nguyet looked at her son's mature appearance, smiled and said: "Good, good, good, mom picked some more. Dau Dau, are you thirsty? Let's go get a drink, okay?" The weather today is cloudy, neither hot nor cold, just the beautiful time of late spring and early summer. Cinnamon and jade orchid trees in the garden gently sway with the wind. The gentle wind blows fragrance from afar. I don't know which garden flowers are in full bloom. "Not thirsty. Wait until I finish picking beans and I want to eat ice cream." Dau Dau took the opportunity to make a request. He doesn't like to drink plain water. Didn't he work hard today? Of course he should be rewarded. "It's too cold, only in the summer can we eat..." Hoai Nguyet sat down to advise her son, but seeing the desire sparkling in her son's big, beautiful eyes, she immediately took off her helmet and armor: "Okay, okay, Let's just have a small cup!" Dau Dau smiled happily, not forgetting to flatter his mother: "Mom, are you tired? Do you need to rest for a while?" "Mom, I'm not tired, Dau Dau, let's pick some more, and when we're finished, can we also bring some to our grandparents?" She remembers that Professor Tan's favorite thing to eat is young peas. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not successful, but the relationship between teacher and student still remained. Tomorrow is the first day of summer. According to custom in this city, on the first day of summer you should eat beans. The kindergarten teacher gives the children homework: Bring gifts to visit the neighbors. Children are always very obedient to their teachers. Last night Dau Dau curled up in her arms and whispered to her, discussing with her what gift to bring. Hoai Nguyet racked her brain all night and finally remembered the beans. Silkworms in the garden are just being harvested. Although she has been here for more than a year, because she rarely comes here, she only knows that the house in the west is still unfinished, probably for speculation rather than living. The next house belongs to an old couple, who seem to have never been here since Tet. The house on the east side was completed more than half a year before anyone moved in. The female owner drove a red racing car, was about the same age as me, and several times stood on the other side of the wall and nodded to say hello. Dau Dau can only visit this house. This neighbor's flower garden also had a door but it was not locked like her house. Hoai Nguyet took her son's hand in. The garden was clearly designed meticulously by the architect, with rockeries and all kinds of ornamental basins, just looking at it you can see that it is expensive. What makes everyone even more surprised is that there are stone Buddha statues in the yard, both standing and lying, as well as bronze statues of men and women. Both the door steps and the porch are all antiques. Hoai Nguyet wondered how rich the people living in this house were, just the things outside this door were not ordinary. She picked up Dau Dau and rang the doorbell. At 4 p.m., she must have woken up from her nap, right? In her heart, she was still a little uneasy. People here are different from those in the inner city, most of them come here for the weekend, and they hate being bothered by others the most. There is no way to help my son complete his homework, so I have to try my best. After ringing the bell for a long time, there was no answer. Dau Dau's face fell in disappointment. Hoai Nguyet couldn't bear to look, so she put her son on the ground and comforted him: "The landlady of this house is not at home, I'll take you to another house. Look at it." See, that house in front is definitely occupied, look at the clothes hanging outside to dry." If you can't find a near neighbor, you have to find a far neighbor. As soon as mother and daughter turned around, the door behind them opened. "Who are you two looking for?" A man appeared behind the door.

The door opened halfway and a tall man appeared. His face was thin and pale, his eyes were as cold as ice, "Who are you two looking for?" He asked coldly, his voice sounded annoyed, his eyebrows furrowed. Hoai Nguyet's smile was frozen by the coldness emanating around him, she unconsciously looked behind him. It was dark inside, obviously with thick curtains on the windows. This man stood in a dark space, not wanting to take a step out, seemingly preparing to close the door at any moment. Hoai Nguyet is not the type of person who can quickly get close to others.

After her divorce, she became even more cowardly. Just looking at someone else's eyes was a little sharp, and she felt nervous. She once exclaimed to Dang Duyen Duyen that after getting divorced, she realized that the biggest benefit of marriage is that it gives people more strength, because no matter what, there is always a way out, which is your husband. Now there is no way back, every time we fight to the death, sometimes we are so scared that we tremble. Just like now, the man opposite her looked at her gloomily, making her just want to turn around and run away. "Hello uncle, my mother and I are your neighbors, today we came to visit you and give you a gift." Dau Dau stood outside the door, put a plastic bag filled with beans into the man's hand, then raised his head and smiled at him. "The teacher said that neighbors must unite and help each other. Uncle, can you peel the beans for me? These beans were just picked by me and my mother in the garden, they are very fresh and delicious." Little Lo Dau Dau is the teacher's favorite student in kindergarten, both obedient and beautiful. Every time there is a group photo activity, Dau Dau is always placed in the middle of the first row. Her appearance attracts other people's eyes even more than the prettiest girls in the class. A beautiful baby like a jade kept smiling at me and insisted on stuffing gifts into my hands. Co Quan Dao couldn't continue to be cold-faced anymore. He looked at the bean bag in his hand, his suspicious eyes shifting from the boy to the woman opposite. Hoai Nguyet quickly pulled her son's hand back a step, pointed to her flower garden and said: "We live right next door, because of my son's homework, we took the liberty to bother him. The kindergarten teacher asked each child to go home to visit a neighbor's house, and also to give a meaningful gift. This bean is the Dau Dau and I planted together, which is my child's heart and hope you can take it." Hoai Nguyet spoke in one breath, her face slightly red. The people in this place don't have money, they have power. To bring a small bag of beans to give a gift is probably only the mother and her child. Moreover, they kept knocking on the door to force people to open the door. Even though it was 4pm, who knew if they would be disturbed or not. In the past, when I and Lo Phong were like glue, I hated being bothered by people who didn't know what to do. This man in front of him was obviously very angry. Thuong Hoai Nguyet explained uneasily: "Children listen to their teachers the most. Since yesterday I have been determined to complete this assignment. Because the two houses next door have no one living, that's why I disturbed you. I'm very sorry." ". Co Quan Dao looked at the mother with an apologetic expression and his son with a waiting expression. He could see that the young mother was a little nervous, perhaps frightened by her attitude just now, her hand holding her son's hand was very tight. He softened his expression slightly, opened the door wider and said to the mother and son: "Please come in!" Hoai Nguyet did not expect him to suddenly change his attitude, so he felt hesitant. In fact, this man has an extremely handsome appearance, every feature of his face is very elegant, but his face is so pale that he looks like a sick person. This makes his dark eyes extremely clear, his nose very high, very straight, and his cheekbones making others feel that he is very arrogant. His eyebrows, neither sparse nor thick, were still slightly furrowed. She noticed his hand holding the doorknob, long and clean. There are very few men with such beautiful hands, but the skin color on the hands is almost transparent, the blood vessels can almost be seen clearly, it is obvious that these are hands that have not been exposed to the sun for a long time. . Hoai Nguyet has a very bad intuition. She always feels that there is something wrong with this man, there is a dangerous aura surrounding him that makes others feel uneasy. She glanced at him quickly, he was still standing in the dark, seemingly looking at her and Dau Dau but apparently he wasn't. Hoai Nguyet's heart suddenly trembled, she finally discovered what was wrong with him. Eyes, that's right, this man's eyes were extremely empty. His eye sockets are deeper than normal people, and have some characteristics of a hybrid. If you just look at it, a person with these eyes would have no problem working as an eyeglass advertising model, but their eyes are lifeless. Previously, thanks to editing an interview with a neurology expert, Thuong Hoai Nguyet had a lot of documents in this field. Even though she didn't want to take someone else's hat, this man gave her a very unusual feeling. This man is about eight feet tall, although skinny, he has a very tall frame. He has absolutely no problem dealing with a woman and a baby with a loosely tied cock. Even if her nerves were too sensitive, she wouldn't dare take such risks. She held Dau Dau's hand tightly, trying to act calmly as if she didn't say anything: "I've bothered you too much, so we won't go in." "It's okay. Little friend, come in!" Co Quan Dao turned around and went into the house, pulled out the window curtains, and the house was immediately bright. Dau Dau happily raised his head to look at his mother. Hoai Nguyet quickly bent down to hold her child, saying: "Dau Dau, he still has work to do, we have finished giving gifts, let's go home." "No, I still want him to write me a friendship card. The teacher said that whoever receives the friendship card will be given a good card." Dau Dau leaned into his mother's ear and whispered, "Mom, he doesn't seem very happy. If we peel the beans for him, he will write me a friendship card, right?" Hoai Nguyet was extremely hesitant looking at her son's face full of hope. "Uncle, where are the slippers?" Dau Dau stood outside the door and poked his head inside and asked loudly. "No need to change shoes, just go straight in." Co Quan Dao's voice was a little warmer, he liked polite people. Dau Dau tried to pull his mother's hand to go inside. Hoai Nguyet thought for a moment, the door was still half open. Although the structure of this townhouse is exactly the same as Hoai Nguyet's house, the feeling inside is completely different. The whole house is decorated in the style of a noble family, clearly more than one level higher than her house. Of course this place is a high-class subdivision, even if there is a house made of gold bars, it wouldn't surprise people. Above the sofa is a Chinese landscape painting. In this field, Hoai Nguyet is especially ignorant of apricot blossoms. Looking at the slightly yellowed color, she can only guess that it is from the Ming Qing period or maybe earlier. Right now, she wasn't in the mood to evaluate other people's home interiors. When she saw the man put the bean bag down next to the sofa and then turned around to go to the kitchen, she couldn't follow him so she pulled Dau Dau to stand in the middle of the living room, her eyes absentminded. absentmindedly looked up at the table. On the tea table there was a cup of water still full, clearly not drunk at all. Next to the glass of water were two bottles of medicine, one of which was opened and poured onto the table. White pills fell from the table to the ground, dozens of them. Maybe the owner was just about to take the medicine when she and Dau Dau interrupted him. Hoai Nguyet glanced at it and was immediately startled. Coincidentally, she also knew these two bottles of medicine, one bottle was called Bach Uu Giai, an imported medicine specializing in treating depression, that the neurologist once showed her. The bottle of medicine that spilled was the very common Thu Lac An Dinh type, packed in a bottle of 100 pills. Every time she had trouble sleeping, she often took one of these pills. Hoai Nguyet's heart was pounding uncontrollably. No wonder this person never opened the door. Before they rang the doorbell, what was this man planning to do in the room? With so many sleeping pills, is he planning to commit suicide? She remembered his empty, lifeless eyes. She couldn't help but feel stressed. It turned out to be depression. The indifference in that man's eyes made her uneasy. Living without joy and dying without fear, this is an extremely unstable state. In Hoai Nguyet's mind, the content of the previous interview quickly appeared. If you don't see the sun for a long time, your depression patient's condition will get worse, and this city has been continuously raining for more than half a month, and it has only turned cloudy in the past two days. will be more serious. When depressed patients are alone, it is even more dangerous. If someone is by their side to advise and comfort them, it will be much better. Experts have said that the best treatment for people with depression is to have family members or friends by their side to talk to them and relieve their autistic feelings. Until now, she hadn't even seen the woman driving the red racing car. She probably had to go out for work. Even though she and that woman were just acquaintances, she still had a good impression of her. She seemed to have a very open personality. Hoai Nguyet thought she should pay attention to this man for her, at least before the female owner returned, she wouldn't be able to let anything happen to him. Co Quan Dao came out of the kitchen holding two plastic baskets and saw this mother and daughter standing obediently in the middle of the living room. The boy curiously assessed the decoration in the room, his big black eyes blinked extremely cutely, while the other mother stared blankly at the bottle of medicine on the tea table. Hearing his footsteps, she raised her head in confusion. "There's no place to sit in the kitchen. It's fine to take the beans out here." Co Quan Dao put the plastic basket down next to the sofa and then turned around to get a small chair for Dau Dau. Dau Dau happily thanked him and immediately sat down without being unfamiliar. The boy said to Hoai Nguyet and Co Quan Dao: "Mom, uncle, you two should sit down too, let's peel beans together." Co Quan Dao was stunned. He just wanted to fulfill his little friend's wishes, but he didn't expect to have to work himself. Thinking about it again, the mother and daughter happily ran to give gifts and I didn't show any gratitude at all, it's really hard to accept. Even though he really didn't want to, he reluctantly sat down on the sofa. He signaled Hoai Nguyet to sit down and asked Dau Dau: "How old are you?" "4 years old". Dau Dau raised four fingers and shook them, saying: "I study in the kindergarten class at Nam Son kindergarten." "Yeah". Co Quan Dao nodded. The broad bean skin is quite thick, so he uses his thumb to squeeze it until it cracks before peeling it, which is quite difficult. Hoai Nguyet feels that the current situation is very strange. My son and I randomly barged into a stranger's house. This stranger most likely had mental problems, most likely was preparing to end his own life, and now that person was with his two mothers. Her child sat peeling beans. The water flowing from fresh fava bean pods will dye your fingers black, Hoai Nguyet thought so then sat down to model, saying: "Squeeze like that will hurt your fingertips, just twist it and the bean will shoot out on its own." outside". She was surprised to see that in such an anxious moment, she thought that letting these extremely delicate hands peel beans was unacceptable. Maybe my spirit is starting to become abnormal? Because of his good boy ticket, Dau Dau wanted to please Co Quan Dao, so the boy quickly sat close to him and said, "Look, it's easy to peel." The boy had just peeled a few fruits and his chubby fingers were already a bit black. Co Quan Dao nodded and obediently followed. My brain is definitely broken, he thought, because he was busy with work, since he moved here he had almost never stepped out of the door, but today he let a stranger into his house and even robbed him. hang out with other people too. From childhood to adulthood, he never had to peel beans. Seeing him quiet and not saying anything, Hoai Nguyet thought to herself, perhaps he is still immersed in his autistic world. She was both hoping for the woman driving the red racing car to come home a little early while also thinking about finding a topic to distract his attention. "What's your name little guy?" Co Quan Dao proactively asked. "My name is Lo Han Than, everyone calls me Dau Dau. What about you?" Dau Dau is a very approachable child, and is also very good at starting conversations. "Uncle Co", Co Quan Dao smiled and said: "Miss Lo, your son is very cute". "My last name is Thuong". Thuong Hoai Nguyet corrected herself according to habit. She is no longer Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu is now a different person. "Yeah", Co Quan Dao replied indifferently. "I just came here not long ago and don't know everyone yet." Hoai Nguyet thought to himself that with his ice-cold love, if she and her mother didn't have the courage to come to the door like that, maybe if he stayed here for ten years, he wouldn't know anyone. Just moved here? Could it be another owner? Did that race car driver sell this house to him? She just moved in not long ago, which is really a pity. Seeing that there was no one else in the house, she felt impatient. Where are his family members? She and Dau Dau can't watch over him forever. She had no choice but to continue his topic: "This place is a bit far from the inner city, so many families only come here on weekends. Actually, people here don't know each other very well." "Do you have any little friends?" Dau Dau asked. Hearing that, Hoai Nguyet was secretly happy. By the way, she could ask where his family was and when he would return. This boy was really to my liking. "No. There's only one girl in my family. She went to the pet hospital to have her dog examined. Her puppy has lost her appetite these past few days." Co Quan Dao patiently replied, this is the most beautiful baby he has ever seen, his appearance is very similar to his mother's but still does not lose the appearance of a boy. It can be seen that this boy's father is also definitely a handsome man. Going to the pet hospital probably won't take much time. Hoai Nguyet breathed a sigh of relief, then saw her son asking: "Does the puppy also have a fever? My mother said she would cook black rice tomorrow. If Dau Dau eats black rice, he won't get a fever, so maybe let the puppy eat some too." ?" Hoai Nguyet saw the man next to her looking suspicious and quickly explained: "This is a custom, if you eat a little black rice on the first day of summer, the children will not get a fever, nor will they be bitten by mosquitoes. Tomorrow is summer, the bakeries outside sell black rice cakes but unfortunately they are all sweets, Dau Dau doesn't like to eat them. I will make some salty rice for him to eat." Co Quan Dao said, "I didn't know there was such a custom. What is black rice?" "It's very black rice," Dau Dau said, "Uncle, let me tell you the story of black rice!" Before Co Quan Dao could answer, Lo Dau Dau, who really wanted to show off, stood up: "Once upon a time, there was an old woman who loved to eat grilled goose. Every time she wanted to eat goose meat, she would put red-hot iron plates on it. On the ground in a small alley, at both ends of the alley, one end placed a bowl of soy sauce, the other end placed a bowl of fragrant vinegar, then chased the goose into the alley. The poor white goose, both burned and thirsty, kept running from one end to the other, running Go to one end and drink a sip of soy sauce, run to the other end and drink a sip of fragrant vinegar, and just a moment later you will become a roasted goose. After that old woman died, the King of Hell took her to hell. Knowing that her mother was suffering In the underworld, her son, Venerable Muc Lien, often gave his mother food to eat, but every time he took it away, many little ghosts robbed it, and his mother never seemed to be able to eat again up the mountain Picked black rice leaves, pounded them to get black water, then used that water to cook rice and take it away. As soon as the little devil in the underworld saw the black rice, he thought it was bad, so he didn't dare eat it, so his mother was no longer hungry. This is the legend of black rice, so black rice is also the rice of a filial son." Hoai Nguyet had told the boy many times this story. Dau Dau had memorized it so she told it very fluently without stumbling at all. Co Quan Dao rarely interacts with children, so he was surprised to see a baby speaking so fluently. Actually, he doesn't understand the social situation. Nowadays, every child in kindergarten knows how to tell stories. Lo Dau Dau has a mother who has a master's degree in literary studies and a father who is a lawyer. His genes alone are enough to make him stand out among his friends. Dau Dau proudly looked at Co Quan Dao's appreciative eyes, waved his hand and said very elegantly: "Do you still want to hear more?" Co Quan Dao was amused by the boy's appearance and nodded. So Dau Dau told one story after another. It wasn't until the sound of a car rang out outside the door that Hoai Nguyet took Dau Dau's hand and stood up to leave. The scattered pills were picked up, and the man in front of him gradually became happier. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, for herself, for her son, and for this man.

Co Quan Da picked up the bottle of Bach Uu Giai medicine on the tea table and frowned and asked: "Brother, are you still taking this medicine?" Co Quan Dao sat on the sofa playing with Leshy. Leshy is a sheepdog. After watching the TV series "Leshy the Dog", Co Quan Da couldn't forget it, it could actually be called forgetting to eat and drink, then he found a dog. It's almost exactly like the movie, it came from nowhere, even the name doesn't want to change. Two days ago, Leshy suddenly lost her appetite. Co Quan Da was so impatient that he rushed him to the pet hospital.

After a few days, he finally got a little better. "Two days ago, I was cleaning up my things and found that I still had a bottle so I conveniently left it here. Leshy, throw this in the trash!" Co Quan Dao patted Leshy's head. Leshy took the medicine bottle and quickly ran into the kitchen. Co Quan Da looked at Leshy's back with great affection and said: "This boy is really good." Co Quan Dao suddenly remembered the boy who came to his house yesterday and said casually: "It's a pity he can't talk, kids these days have very good mouths." Co Quan Da glared at his brother unhappily: "Our Leshy can also talk, you just don't understand. Two days ago, he even told me that he missed you, and if I die, I have to take him to visit you. You can't hate him, he's still sick, he can't eat much today." Leshy ran back and curled up in Co Quan Da's lap. Co Quan Da happily hugged his head and leaned against the sofa. "Brother, yesterday's beans tasted really good. This is the first time I've eaten beans that you peeled yourself. How about I go buy some more so we can cook this afternoon? A Thich has bought quite a bit of Tho Thieu wine from the countryside, it's very good to drink." Co Quan Dao shook his head: "I also know that your tolerance for alcohol is very low, let me and A Thich drink that wine. Yesterday's beans were picked by Mrs. So, stop buying." He squinted his eyes and looked out the window. The weather today is very good, the sunshine is shining, right now that beautiful boy is probably playing soccer on the lawn. Co Quan Da sighed and said: "How about we also grow some vegetables in the garden, I see that many people here grow vegetables in flower gardens, some houses even grow corn, the stalks are as tall as a person's body." , very interesting". Co Quan Dao glanced at her. This younger sister was already 30 years old but her personality was still like that of a child, and she had done many impulsive things. Over the past few years, she has stopped taking care of her mother and then taken care of herself, so she has missed out on her youth. As an older brother, he always feels guilty. Now it's time for her to get married and have a baby. "Tieu Da, this year you and A Thich should get married. A Thich is already 37 years old. Even though he doesn't want to urge you, his parents are definitely very impatient." Co Quan Da was stunned, smiled and said: "Why do I remember this? Haven't you been with him every day? It makes no difference whether you get married or not. What about you? I'm going to be lonely until the day comes." any?" Co Quan Dao was most afraid that his sister would talk about this, so he quickly changed the subject: "Today is the day, you know?" "I don't know, is there any notable problem?" Co Quan Da casually put his feet up on the tea table. When he saw Co Quan Dao frowning, he quickly curled up on the sofa. She is 5 years younger than Co Quan Dao. Even though she took care of all the big and small things in the house or at the art gallery, she still didn't dare to be too insolent in front of her brother. Co Quan Dao does not like people with promiscuous behavior, believing that art is something that penetrates the bones, and does not need the artist to create it intentionally. "I heard you have to eat black rice." Co Quan Dao said, remembering Dau Dau's serious look when telling the story, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, "Filial rice was invented by monk Muc Lien, a disciple of Tathagata."
