Ferocious Dog of Old - Chapter 6

[Chapter 6]

From that night on, every time Tao Xiaodong didn’t come back, Tao Huainan slept inside and slept outside.

Chi Kui sleeps very honestly, maybe he was beaten up by his father. If he doesn’t sleep properly at night, he will wake up when a car passes outside. Tao Huainan was different. When he fell asleep, he was like a down-to-earth pig. He could toss and roll all night long. Sometimes he put his head on the pillow before going to bed.

It’s all a problem that I’m used to at home. I always sleep with my legs on people, and when I lift my fleshy calves, I put them on the people next to me. Chi Ku was occasionally woken up by him in the middle of the night. At first, he would push it down, but then he didn’t push it anymore. Anyway, he didn’t know when he would have to lift it up again.

The one-meter-five double bed was only thirty centimeters long, and the remaining one-meter-two was Tao Huainan’s tossing, sleeping sideways, upright, and diagonally.

Tao Xiaodong didn’t come back until it was dawn, rushed a picture overnight, and had to go out in two days.

The studio I do with my friends is just starting now. There are too many things to do, and there are also many interactions. All relationships have to be made one by one. It stands to reason that he shouldn’t be back today. He still has something to do in the morning. If it was before, he would have been in the shop and slept for a while. But now my younger brother is here, and he hasn’t come back for two days.

Auntie fell asleep on the sofa, and he didn’t wake up when he opened the door.

Tao Huainan didn’t sleep on his brother’s bed, Tao Xiaodong stood at the door and saw that Tao Huainan was lying on his back, with his head against the wall, half of the quilt covering his body, and one calf exposed on Chiku’s stomach. Chiku made him so stressed that it was a little hard to breathe, and he took a long breath for a long time.

Tao Xiaodong walked over and gently took Tao Huainan’s leg down, trying to pick him up and straighten him.

The sound of the clothes rubbing made Chi Ku open his eyes alertly, seeing that he was holding Tao Huainan, and looked at Tao Xiaodong in a daze.

“If he squeezes you, squeeze back,” Tao Xiaodong said softly to him, “you two sleep halfway by yourself.”

Chi Cheng blinked, Tao Xiaodong hugged Tao Huainan and wanted to put him back on the pillow, Tao Huainan woke up a little, opened his eyes and reached out to touch, he touched his brother’s arms and wrists, and with a low voice, he circled his arms. wrapped around his brother’s neck.

Half asleep, he lifted his upper body to reach it, buried his face in the pocket of his brother’s neck, and asked with a warm breath, “Brother is back?”

Tao Xiaodong said “um” and patted his back. : “Go to sleep.”

Tao Huainan hummed and didn’t let go. His brother hadn’t come back for two days, so he thought hard. When Tao Xiaodong was about to get up, he hung his arms around him. In the end, Tao Xiaodong smiled and hugged him. Tao Huainan wrapped his legs around his waist and hugged his brother tightly.

Tao Xiaodong wrapped one hand around him, and the other hand pulled up a quilt that had slipped to his chest.

Tao Huainan hung on his brother and was carried away, watched them go away, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Chi Ku has maintained this state for a long time in this family, not talking or getting close to anyone. Except for the “brother” that Tao Xiaodong asked him to call at first, he never called again, and he didn’t call anyone at all.

The nanny once secretly told Tao Xiaodong that the child was not well raised, so he should send him away quickly.

Tao Xiaodong waved his hand and said nothing.

At that time, Tao Xiaodong was twenty-five, the most competitive and aggressive age for men, and he was full of the stunned look of young people, and he refused to accept anything. At this time, he had just emerged in the field of tattoos, with many ideas and pursuits. Half of all my thoughts are devoted to my career, and the other half to my brother.

Chi Ku is not close to him, and Tao Xiaodong doesn’t have the heart to think so much about whether it can be cultivated without speaking. I didn’t plan on raising him in the future, just let it be. And really digging deeply, Tao Xiaodong didn’t put too much emotional expectations on him. If he really acted like an ordinary child now, Tao Xiaodong might still be annoying.

The elder brother in this family is an adult, and adults think differently from children.

The elder brother felt that it was nothing to keep a cold face like Chiku every day without talking or laughing, and the child didn’t think so. Tao Huainan was extremely disappointed, and Chi Ku always ignored people. Tao Huainan often shared snacks with him and said a few words at first, and then he never said a word to him.

Children’s feelings do not get feedback, and the expectations in their hearts will double and decrease in the opposite direction. Children’s emotions are always changeable, and it is easy to like and dislike.

As winter turns to spring, the old poplar trees by the road outside begin to grow green buds. Tao Huainan should go to school this year.

Tao Xiaodong has been helping him with his enrollment recently. It’s easy for him to do it, but it’s not easy for him to do it late. Chiku’s hukou is still in his hometown, so Tao Xiaodong has to find a way to move his hukou out.

The two children went to the blind school together. Tao Xiaodong was indeed selfish in this matter. One of the reasons he brought Chiku back in the first place was for this.

Tao Huainan can’t go to school independently, Tao Xiaodong can’t never let go and keep him at home for the rest of his life, he has to go to school. At that time, Grandma Chi Ku’s words “Your brother’s eyes are not good” really struck Tao Xiaodong’s heart.

Tao Huainan needs someone who has followed him since he was a child, and Tao Xiaodong plans to do so.

He didn’t hide his thoughts from Chi Ku. When Tao Huainan was taking a nap, Tao Xiaodong called Chi Ku. They were sitting on the sofa. Tao Xiaodong said to him, “Brother, talk to you.”

Chi Ku nodded . , sitting next to him, sitting upright across the distance, with drooping eyelids not looking at anyone.

It’s been a few months since he came here, and the two patches of red plateau on his face that froze in his hometown are gone, and the small wounds on his body are gone, only some old scars remain. But it’s still quite dark, unlike Tao Huainan, a porcelain-white baby.

“It’s reasonable to say that you and Xiaonan should go to the school for the blind. Schools for the blind are all children with bad eyes, you are not.”

Chi Ku didn’t look up, and listened unresponsively.

“Xiao Nan’s eyes are not good, you help brother take care of it for a year.” Tao Xiaodong looked at him and said, “When he can live independently and adapt to school, brother will transfer it to you, where to go to school, where to go to school, I won’t keep throwing you there, and I won’t delay you.”

Chi Ku is half a year older than Tao Huainan, and he will be nine years old after his birthday. No matter what Tao Xiaodong said, he would not delay him, and he would be ten years old when he was transferred out. Tao Xiaodong was a little bit troubled by himself, feeling that he was cheating a child.

It’s not very important, but he really can’t do anything about it. Let Tao Huainan go to the blind school for five days a week by himself. Tao Xiaodong can’t be relieved.

Chi Kui didn’t know if he understood, but he just nodded. The wound on the back of the head that his father hit has healed, leaving a scar. The hair is too short to cover it all, but a little of it can be seen.

Tao Xiaodong raised his hand and touched his head, then shook it.

Tao Huainan didn’t particularly resist going to school, he just couldn’t bear his brother and ten grandfathers.

Golden Retriever accompanied him quietly, Tao Huainan put his arms around its neck, and stroked his hands on its back. Jin Mao slowly flicked his tail, and the tail hair swept over Tao Huainan’s feet.

Tao Huainan shrank his toes and said, “What are you going to do when I leave school?”

Golden Retriever lay down and lay down beside the child, his head beside his calf.

“Auntie won’t come after I go to school, so what are you going to do?” Tao Huainan was silent for a while, and after a long time he said, “Brother Tian Yi will pick you up?”

Golden Retriever raised his head slightly, Lightly bit the edge of Tao Huainan’s pajama pants.

One person and one dog accompany each other on the sofa. Time seems to slow down. The halo of the evening shines in, and the picture is warm but lonely.

Tao Huainan won’t talk to Chiku even when he talks to Jinmao at home, because Chiku doesn’t say anything and ignores him. They haven’t spoken for a long time, they are neither friends nor good friends.

Tao Huainan even hated him a little.

Chi Ku is just like every child he has ever met. No one wants to take the initiative to talk to the blind man, and everyone else is afraid of him.

In the evening when my brother was not at home, Tao Huainan came over with his own blanket in his arms, and then gave in. Tao Huainan climbed up from the end of the bed and turned over to face the wall.

In a few days, the two of them will go to school together. Although Tao Huainan never said it, he was actually scared. Going to a new environment, many strangers, many days without seeing my brother.

Chi Ku also turned his back to him, and Tao Huainan heard it.

Tao Huainan pressed his face on the pillow, Yuanyuan’s big eyes closed, and the upper eyelids were trembling. He took his hand out of the blanket and wiped the back of his hand lightly around his eyes.

Before going to bed, I had a lot of bad emotions. I rolled over and slept all night, and when I woke up, I forgot all about it.

When he woke up, one leg was on Chi Ku’s body, his head was far away from the pillow, and he slept poorly. I raised my hand and rubbed my eyes, feeling a little itchy.

Chi Ku also woke up, put his hand on that leg and pushed it down, pressing down on his chicken, and the pain was excruciating.

Tao Huainan hadn’t woken up yet, but after being pushed by him like that, he remembered that Chi Ku had never paid attention to him. He pouted and took his legs far away. With a loud noise, his eyes suddenly turned red.
