Chapter 4 Don't bark here Du Ruo suppressed his headache and hunger, washed up, and went downstairs. "Wang~Wangwangwang~" "Woof woof ~ woof ~" “Woof woof woof~Woo~” As soon as she went downstairs, Du Ruo saw a little girl standing at the gate, pulling a golden retriever that was almost as tall as her shoulders, and barking at a local dog outside the door. Yes, the kind of shouting, "Wang Wang Wang~". It seemed that originally two dogs were barking at each other, and then the little girl started shouting along to help the golden retriever quarrel. "Huang Yamei!! I've already told you, your uncle is sleeping upstairs, please stop barking like a dog here, or you'll wake up your uncle. At night, you and Maomao's meals will all be halved! No, the dishes will be halved, but the rice won't be reduced." Before Du Ruo could laugh, a woman walked out of the kitchen. She was in her thirties, with light makeup and a floral dress. She pointed at the little girl and started scolding her. She seemed to be worried that the volume was too loud, so she deliberately lowered her voice. However, the seriousness in her words did not diminish at all, and the dog's barking stopped immediately. The woman was Du Ruo's elder sister Du Na, who was five years older than Du Ruo. When Du Ruo was still in college, she got married through a blind date in the next village. However, they bought a house near the Huangshan scenic area and had a small storefront to do some business, so they did not usually live in the village. "Hey, sis, it's okay, I woke up a long time ago. Yaya, do you still recognize your uncle?"
Du Ruo laughed. Seeing the scene just now, Du Ruo felt very healed. Even the discomfort in his body seemed to disappear. He walked to the little girl, squatted down and looked at her. The little girl looked at her mother curiously, then looked at Du Ruo curiously without saying a word. Similarly, the golden retriever next to her also squatted on the ground, looking at Du Ruo curiously. "Hello, uncle~" Huang Yamei's voice was clear. After shouting, she ran to the woman, hid behind her and looked at Du Ruo. "Brother, you are awake now. You can eat soon. Dad and your brother-in-law are in the living room. Go watch some TV first. I will take Yaya to wash her hands." Du Na looked at Du Ruo, first sized her up and down, then spoke with a smile, and then prepared to pull Huang Yamei to the door to wash her hands. "Yaya, uncle brought you a toy. I'll take it down for you after dinner." Du Ruo watched his sister taking his nephew out, with a smile on his face, and shouted to Huang Yamei. "Thank you, uncle~~" Huang Yamei was not very happy at first because she was scolded by her mother, but when she heard that there were toys, she immediately blinked her eyes and gave Du Ruo a big smile. "Dad, brother-in-law." When I came to the living room, a variety show was playing on TV, but the volume was turned down very low. Du Ruo's father, Du Jianting, who had gained some weight, was sitting on the sofa, watching videos on his mobile phone with a cigarette in his hand, while a young man opposite him was making tea. These two people are Du Ruo's father and brother-in-law. "Well, did you have a good rest? The air conditioner in the room should be OK. I'll clean it for you tomorrow." Du Jianting had a serious expression on his face. He seldom communicated with Du Ruo normally, but today he showed some concern for her. "Brother, have some tea." Brother-in-law Huang Bohua smiled at Du Ruo, poured tea for her, and pushed the cigarette on the coffee table towards her. "I slept well. I'll clean the air conditioner myself tomorrow." Du Ruo looked at the white hair on his father's head and replied that he had never noticed before that his father's hair was half white. Maybe... that was because his father dyed his hair before the New Year.
The three grown men drank tea and smoked, and the atmosphere suddenly seemed to fall silent. The only sound in the living room was the contrived and repetitive laughter from the variety show on TV. "It's time to eat, Lao Huang, bring out the rice cooker..." Du Na came in with dishes and chopsticks, followed by Huang Yamei and Jinmao. She shouted something, breaking the silent atmosphere. "Drink a little? Your mother made some golden cherry wine last year. I can't drink alcohol now, and that wine has been sitting there and no one drinks it." Father Du Jianting put out the cigarette in his hand and asked Du Ruo a question. "Okay, drink some then. Sister, you should drink some too." In Du Ruo's family, only brother-in-law Huang Bohua is allergic to alcohol and never drinks. Everyone else loves to drink, especially sister Du Na, who has loved drinking since she was a child, but her alcohol tolerance is not very good. Du Ruo still remembers that when he was a child, his father asked his sister Duna to get some wine. His sister then drank secretly while walking and finally fell drunk on the edge of the field. She was found by the neighbors and brought back. …… Tonight's meal is particularly sumptuous, with stinky mandarin fish, stewed pigeon, dried bamboo shoots, and cured fish, all of which are the delicacies that Du Ruo has been longing for while away. As soon as Du Ruo sat at the table and smelled the food, he couldn't hold back any longer, he lowered his head and ate the food in big mouthfuls, occasionally making sounds of praise. He ate a bowl of rice first to fill his stomach and then began to slow down his eating speed. Occasionally I would drink with my sister, clink glasses from time to time, and answer my mother's questions from time to time. "How long will you stay this time, brother?" Brother-in-law Huang Bohua suddenly asked a question, and the originally happy atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Du Ruo. Only Huang Yamei took advantage of the fact that no one was watching her and secretly picked up some fish to eat. "I'm not leaving this time. I'm just staying at home." Du Ruo smiled, picked up a piece of meat from the fish back for his niece, took a careful look at it, and made sure there were no fish bones before putting it into Huang Yamei's bowl. "Come, I'll serve you a bowl of soup. Yaya, eat less fish. Have you forgotten the fish bone stuck in your throat a few days ago?" After hearing Du Ruo say that he would not leave, the atmosphere returned to its previous harmonious state. Du Na put the soup in front of Du Ruo, and then went to help Huang Yamei check whether there were any fish bones in the fish. "I sold the house over there and paid off the loan to get 145 million. Mom, Dad, and brother-in-law, if you need anything, tell me." Seeing that no one in his family asked him the reason, Du Ruo felt touched and took the initiative to mention the sale of the house. "Your father and I don't need it. There's not much room for spending money at home." Before my dad could say anything, my mom spoke first. With the famous scenic spot of Huangshan Mountain behind them, they could receive a lot of care every year even though they were not in a bustling area. Sister Du Na didn't say anything, but just picked up some vegetables and put them in Huang Yamei's bowl. "Brother, what do you think? With 145 million, you can buy a house in the city and a shop to do some small business. If you buy a house in the town, it will be more than enough to buy a house of more than square meters. If you want to do some business, you can ask your sister to give you some more." Huang Bohua opened his mouth and looked at Du Ruo as he spoke, and it was obvious that he was sincere in what he said. Huang Baihua is an only child. His family bought him a house and a shop in the town. He has always been grateful to the Du family for marrying Du Na to him without any dowry, so he treats Du Ruo as his own brother. When he heard that Du Ruo was not planning to go out, the first thing he thought about was settling Du Ruo down and considering his future, and he even took the initiative to offer to support Du Ruo with some funds.
