Chapter 138 Foster Care
Chapter 138 Foster Care
Huo Zhenting has always been a loving person. Under his careful care, the puppy at home is lively and cute. The puppy is snow-white, with eyes as bright as black gemstones, and runs like a rolling ball of fluff.
Every time the neighbors see Huo Zhenting taking the dog for a walk in the community, they can't help but come over to tease it. The dog is not shy and jumps happily around everyone, bringing endless joy to everyone.
One day, Aunt Li from next door found Huo Zhenting and said with envy: "Xiao Huo, I see that your dog is so well raised. I am also tempted and want to raise one, but I don’t know what breed to choose." Huo Zhenting smiled and replied: "Aunt Li, the breed of dog you choose depends on your needs and lifestyle."
Aunt Li frowned, looking confused: "I don't quite understand this, please explain it to me." Huo Zhenting patiently explained: "If you like lively and active animals, you can consider raising a Border Collie; if you want a docile and well-behaved dog, a Pomeranian or a Teddy would be good."
At this time, Mr. Wang from the community also came over and said, "I want to raise a dog, but I'm old and don't have the energy to walk the dog." Huo Zhenting thought for a moment and said, "Then Mr. Wang, you can raise a small dog, such as a Chihuahua, which requires relatively less exercise."
However, no one expected that in the next few days, a dog-raising craze would sweep the community. Almost every household brought home a puppy, but problems also followed.
Some puppies bark all night, making it hard for everyone to sleep; some puppies urinate and defecate everywhere, making the neighborhood dirty and messy. Residents began to complain that raising dogs is more troublesome than they imagined.
Huo Zhenting felt very upset when he saw this situation. He decided to step forward and organize everyone to learn how to raise dogs scientifically. He used the weekends to hold dog-raising knowledge lectures in the community garden, teaching everyone how to train puppies and how to provide health care for puppies.
Gradually, the puppies in the community became more and more obedient, and the community returned to its former harmony and tranquility. And Huo Zhenting, because of his enthusiasm and kindness, became the most popular person in the community.
Huo Zhenting is well-known for his warm-heartedness in the community, and he agreed to help his neighbor foster his dog without hesitation.
The foster dog was a lively golden retriever named Pudding. In the first few days, Pudding was well behaved and Huo Zhenting's life was not affected too much. He took Pudding out for a walk every day on time. When other dog owners in the community saw him, they all praised Huo Zhenting for his patience.
However, on the fourth night, something unexpected happened. Pudding brought a shabby little box from somewhere, and Huo Zhenting curiously opened it and found a sparkling diamond ring inside. He was stunned and thought this was incredible.
The next morning, Huo Zhenting went to the community property management to ask if anyone had lost a diamond ring. But strangely, after asking around the community, no one said they had lost a diamond ring.
Just when Huo Zhenting was full of doubts, the neighbors who went out for a trip came back early. When they entered Huo Zhenting's house and saw the small box, their faces turned pale instantly. It turned out that the diamond ring was their family heirloom. They had accidentally hidden it in an old toy before. They had thought to deal with it properly after returning from the trip, but they didn't expect it to be found by Pudding.
Huo Zhenting returned the diamond ring to them. The neighbors were so grateful that they not only doubled the foster care fee they had agreed on, but also spread the good news of Huo Zhenting in the community. From then on, Huo Zhenting's reputation in the community became even more famous.
Huo Zhenting is a well-known pet lover in the community. He has several pets and takes care of them meticulously. Gradually, everyone knows his attentiveness and patience towards pets, so whenever someone wants to go out, the first thing they think of is to board their dog at Huo Zhenting's house.
One day, the Zhang family in the community was going on a trip and sent their lively husky to Huo Zhenting. Huo Zhenting gladly accepted it and promised with a smile that he would take good care of it.
However, this husky is not easy to deal with, as it is full of energy like a perpetual motion machine. When Huo Zhenting takes it out for a walk, it always rushes around, making Huo Zhenting exhausted.
Just when Huo Zhenting thought he could handle it all, an accident happened. One night, the husky somehow broke free from the rope and ran away. Huo Zhenting was so anxious that he searched all over the community, feeling extremely regretful.
Just when he was about to despair, he found that the Husky was guarding the gate of the community obediently, and there was a wounded puppy next to it. It turned out that the Husky ran out to save the puppy that was hit by a car.
Huo Zhenting was deeply moved, and he took them home and took good care of the injured puppies. Since then, Huo Zhenting's reputation in the community has become even more famous, and everyone has been full of praise for his kindness and love.
Huo Zhenting always felt that his life was dull and boring, until one day, as if by a twist of fate, the neighbors in the community came to him one after another.
At first, it was just Grandma Li, who lived next door, who was going on a long trip and asked Huo Zhenting to take care of her lively Pomeranian. Huo Zhenting readily agreed, and he didn't expect that this care was like opening a magical door.
Somehow, the news spread in the community, and more and more people sent their dogs to him for foster care. There were majestic German shepherds, small and exquisite Chihuahuas, and honest and cute Labradors.
Every day, Huo Zhenting's life becomes fulfilling and interesting. In the morning, he takes a group of dogs to run and play in the community, and in the evening, he patiently feeds and bathes each dog.
However, just when everything seemed fine, something unexpected happened. One dog suddenly fell ill, and Huo Zhenting was extremely worried and took the dog to seek medical treatment everywhere. But misfortunes never come singly, and several other dogs began to show the same symptoms.
For a time, Huo Zhenting was in trouble. But he did not give up, guarding these dogs day and night, looking up various materials, and consulting veterinary experts.
Finally, he found the cause of the disease and successfully cured all the sick dogs.
After experiencing this incident, Peter Ho not only made money, but also established deep relationships with these dogs and their owners. He no longer felt that life was boring.
Huo Zhenting sat on the old but warm sofa, and after much hesitation, he called his son Huo Ping. On the other end of the phone, Huo Ping's voice sounded a little tired after being busy.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Huo Zhenting took a deep breath and said slowly, "Son, I have something to tell you. We recently got a dog. Our neighbor next door sent it to us for foster care because he was away on a business trip. This little guy is very lively, jumping around at home all day, keeping me busy."
Huo Ping smiled softly: "Dad, that's great, you'll have a companion."
Huo Zhenting paused and continued, "But this dog is too naughty and makes a mess at home. I have to clean up all day and my back and waist ache from exhaustion."
Huo Ping was silent for a moment, then said, "Dad, if it's too hard, let's ask the neighbors to send it back."
Huo Zhenting quickly retorted: "That won't do! Although this dog is naughty, every time I see its watery eyes looking at me, my heart warms up. Besides, our neighbors trust us, and we can't let them down."
Huo Ping sighed: "Dad, as long as you are happy."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Zhenting looked at the puppy playing happily on the ground with a relieved smile on his face. He knew that although his son was far away, he was always thinking about him.
However, what Huo Zhenting didn't know was that the puppy was actually fostered by his son Huo Ping at his home. Huo Ping knew that his father was too lonely at home, and hoped that the puppy could bring some joy and company to his father. The neighbor was also moved by Huo Ping's filial piety and fully cooperated with this white lie.
As the days passed, Huo Zhenting and the dog became more and more attached. One day, Huo Ping suddenly came home, and Huo Zhenting suddenly realized that all this was carefully arranged by his son. At that moment, the father and son hugged and cried, and the strong family affection spread in the small house.
Huo Zhenting and Lin Wanru sat in their own courtyard, the sun shining on them, warm and comfortable. The puppy their son bought was happily frolicking on the grass, its tail wagging like a rattle.
"Look how nice the dog his son bought for him is!" said Huo Zhenting with a smile on his face.
Lin Wanru rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, "Yes, yes, your son is so good. He even forgot about his mother. He didn't even mention buying something for her mother?"
Huo Zhenting looked at his wife's jealous look and couldn't help laughing, "Oh, don't be so petty, our son has us in his heart."
Lin Wanru snorted, "I don't believe it. If he has me in his heart, why doesn't he take action?"
At this moment, the doorbell rang suddenly. Huo Zhenting got up to open the door and saw his son standing at the door with a lot of bags in his hands.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" the son said loudly.
Lin Wanru looked at what her son was holding in his hand in surprise, and the unhappiness on her face disappeared instantly.
"Mom, these are all bought for you, how could I forget you!" The son walked over with a smile and handed the things to Lin Wanru.
Tears flashed in Lin Wanru's eyes, "Son, you kid!"
The family walked into the house happily, and the puppy followed behind, barking happily, as if it was also cheering for this warm moment.
However, no one expected that this puppy actually hid a huge secret. It turned out that this puppy was the guardian spirit of a mysterious family, and it accidentally drifted to the human world. The mysterious family has been looking for its whereabouts.
Soon after, the mysterious family came to the door and asked Huo Zhenting's family to hand over the puppy. Huo Zhenting and his son refused to do so, and a fierce fight was about to begin.
At a critical moment, Lin Wanru discovered the mysterious symbol on the puppy, and after some research, she found a way to reconcile with the mysterious family. In the end, the family not only resolved the crisis, but also forged a deep friendship with the mysterious family. The puppy also continued to accompany them, witnessing more joy and warmth for the family.
The couple, Peter Ho and Wan Ru Lam, have been moving forward silently in the trivialities of life. Their days are plain but also a bit lonely.
Their son knew his parents' loneliness, so he bought them a lively and lovely puppy. When the puppy first arrived home, it was a little timid, but soon melted the couple's hearts with its innocence.
However, the peaceful days did not last forever. One day, Huo Zhenting took the dog out for a walk, and the dog suddenly broke free from the leash and ran towards a remote alley. Huo Zhenting chased after it anxiously, but found that the dog stopped in front of a shabby door and kept barking.
Huo Zhenting walked forward curiously and gently pushed open the door. The scene inside the house shocked him. An old man was lying on the ground, his face pale, as if he had been sick for a long time but no one was taking care of him. Huo Zhenting quickly helped the old man up and sent him to the hospital.
After some inquiries, they found out that the old man was actually a long-lost elder of the family. It turned out that the old man left the family due to some misunderstandings when he was young and wandered alone. Now, Huo Zhenting's kindness has reunited the family. In order to repay them, the old man gave them all his savings and precious heirlooms.
With this unexpected fortune, the lives of Huo Zhenting and Lin Wanru have changed dramatically. They used the money to expand their business, which became more and more prosperous. Not only that, they also lived with the elderly, and the family was happy.
They really lived a happy and fulfilling life, and the puppy that brought good luck became the most precious treasure in this family.
Huo Zhenting and Lin Wanru started planning their time with their son Huo Ping early in the day. Huo Zhenting carefully dressed himself, while Lin Wanru repeatedly selected accessories for going out in front of the mirror.
They came to the place where Huo Ping worked and waited for his son to get off work happily. When Huo Ping came out and saw his parents, his face was filled with a happy smile.
The family came to a lively restaurant, eating and chatting, laughing constantly. After dinner, they strolled along the busy streets, admiring the street scenery and the lively crowds.
However, at this moment, Lin Wanru suddenly found that her handbag was missing. The family panicked and began to look for it everywhere. Huo Zhenting anxiously asked passers-by around him, while Huo Ping carefully checked along the road he had walked.
Just when they were about to despair, a little girl ran over with Lin Wanru's handbag in her hand. It turned out that the little girl had picked up the bag on the road and had been looking for the owner.
The family was very grateful to the little girl and continued to enjoy this rare time. This little setback brought their hearts closer.
Huo Zhenting and Lin Wanru were strolling in the busy streets, feeling particularly happy. Suddenly, Lin Wanru found that her wallet was missing and she panicked.
Just when they were extremely anxious, a little girl came over timidly, holding Lin Wanru's wallet in her hand, and said in a clear voice: "Uncle and aunt, is this your wallet? I picked it up over there." Lin Wanru excitedly took the wallet and thanked them repeatedly.
Huo Zhenting looked at the innocent eyes of the little girl and was deeply moved. He took out a stack of banknotes from his wallet and wanted to thank the little girl. But the little girl quickly waved her hand and refused: "Uncle, I can't take it. The teacher said that it is right to return the found things to the owner."
Huo Zhenting and Lin Wanru looked at each other and became more determined to thank the little girl. They patiently persuaded the little girl to accept the money, and said that the money could be used to buy things she liked or help her family. The little girl hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted it.
In order to ensure the safety of the little girl, the couple decided to send her home. Along the way, they chatted with the little girl and learned that her family was not rich, but she had an extremely kind heart.
When they arrived at the shabby neighborhood where the little girl lived, they found a group of vicious people making trouble at the door of the little girl's house. It turned out that the little girl's father owed gambling debts, and these people came to collect the debt.
Huo Zhenting stepped forward and quickly solved the problem with his wisdom and connections. The little girl and her family were grateful to the couple.
When leaving, the little girl held Lin Wanru's hand tightly and said, "Auntie, I want to be a kind and brave person like you in the future." Huo Zhenting and Lin Wanru smiled and nodded, their hearts filled with relief.
