Chirp Chirp's father understood that he was worried about Chubby Boy.
But he still had to go to school.
What should he do?
Chirp Chirp begged his father, "Can I go to school then?
Chubby Boy is so pitiful. "
His father couldn't bear it, but it was unrealistic to take a leave of absence for this.
In the end, Mr. Chu heard about it and thought of a way to move him over.
During the day, when Chirp Chirp went to school, he stayed at home with Chubby Boy. If anything happened, he would call the school and inform Chirp Chirp.
Chirp Chirp's original intention was not to skip school, so he naturally agreed to his grandfather's suggestion.
Speaking of which, Chubby Boy was first brought back by Mr. Chu.
Mr. Chu saved many photos of Chubby Boy when he was a puppy. He took them out and showed them to Chirp Chirp. He said with nostalgia, "At that time, he was only a little more than a week old. I went to pick a puppy from the litter. He was very close to me and even took the initiative to lick my hand.
Look, isn't he very cute? "
Chirp Chirp said, "He was lying in the kennel."
Mr. Chu said, "Yes, he didn't know how to walk at that time.
I waited for almost two months before I took him home.
I should have waited a little longer, but his mother's owner asked me to take him away quickly. He was the fattest puppy in the litter, and he ate a lot. Hahaha. "
Chirp Chirp also laughed, but he couldn't laugh anymore. He sighed and said, "Chubby Boy was lying down and didn't walk at that time. It's still the same now.
Life has circled around, but it's still the same posture. "
He was just a child. It was a little funny and sad for him to say such old-fashioned words.
Chubby Boy was already 14 years old this year. Even if he was not injured, he was still an old dog.
His hair became dull, his eyes became dull, his appetite became poor, he ate less, and he was not active. The thing he did most of the day was sleep. Even breathing when he slept sounded difficult, making people worry that he would take his last breath at any time.
He was old and not as good-looking as before.
Chirp Chirp would still caress him every day and praise him, "Fatty, you look so good."
Little Fatty Chu had become very clingy. Although he had always been a clingy dog, he had been especially clingy recently. As soon as he woke up, he would look for someone. It would be best if it was Chirp Chirp, or someone else. He wanted someone to accompany him, or else he would cry pitifully.
He didn't know if it was because Big Head couldn't stand how annoying he was, but now he was always accompanying him.
Big Head was also an old cat now, but he was much healthier than Little Fatty Chu. He had no illness or pain, so he should still have a few more years to live.
With the company of this old friend, Little Fatty Chu would feel a little more at ease.
Moreover, his old master had come to accompany him.
Chubby Chu finally remembered that he used to be very close with Mr. Chu, but he liked Chirp Chirp more. He had watched Chirp Chirp grow up from a cub.
Chirp Chirp. Now, the first thing she did when she returned home was to see Little Fatty Chu.
She was restless in school because she was too worried about Chubby Chu.
When he returned home one day, he saw his grandfather sitting on the tatami by the window. Little Fatty Chu rested his head on his grandfather's lap.
When Chirp Chirp approached, Little Fatty Chu reacted and dragged his wheelchair to Chirp Chirp's side. He couldn't run now, and the sound of the wheels rolling had become dull.
Chirp Chirp was a little jealous and squatted down to touch him. "With Grandpa here, you didn't even come to greet me after school."
In the past, when he walked to the door and opened it, Chubby Chu would be waiting there to welcome him.
Mr. Chu said, "No, he likes you the most.
He didn't even bother to move when he saw me, but I walked over here.
Little Fatty's ears are not good now, so he didn't hear you coming back. Didn't he only notice you when you came closer? "
Little Fatty Chu didn't have much strength, so he could only send himself into Chirp Chirp's arms. Chirp Chirp threw down his school bag, sat on the ground, and hugged Chubby Chu.
Chirp Chirp stroked Little Fatty Chu. Little Fatty Chu closed his eyes to rest. His chest rose and fell intermittently, and he trembled. He was suffering a great deal of pain.
Chirp Chirp said worriedly, "Chubby Chu is very uncomfortable. Grandpa, is he sick? Let's take him to see a doctor."
Mr. Chu sat down beside him and said, "Grandpa has seen a doctor."
He looked out the window and saw that it was raining. He continued, "Because Chubby Chu was injured, when it rains, the injured part will feel uncomfortable. There's no other way. You can touch him."
Chirp Chirp now placed Little Fatty Chu's kennel in his room and let Little Fatty Chu sleep by his bed every day.
Because Little Fatty Chu's lower limbs were paralyzed, he couldn't control himself from peeing.
Chirp Chirp didn't dislike him. Even if he was woken up by the smell in the middle of the night, he would only get up with a yawn and personally wipe Little Fatty Chu. He even knew how to use the dog's diapers skillfully.
On an autumn morning.
Around five o 'clock.
Chirp Chirp was woken up by the sound of cats. It was still dark outside. He turned on the bedside lamp and rubbed his eyes.
Big Head stood beside Little Fatty Chu. He raised his head and called out to Chirp Chirp twice, then lowered his head and rubbed Little Fatty Chu's head.
Chirp Chirp felt like a basin of cold water was poured over his head. He instantly woke up. He saw Little Fatty Chu lying on his side in the kennel, motionless.
Chirp Chirp got off the bed and knelt beside Little Fatty Chu. He reached out his hand to touch him, but he didn't dare. He held his breath to listen, but he couldn't hear Little Fatty Chu's breathing.
He took a deep breath. Just as his hand was about to touch Little Fatty Chu, he saw Little Fatty Chu's ears move.
Little Fatty Chu suddenly gasped and woke up. He weakly opened his eyes and looked at his little master. His eyes were confused, and his throat let out a soft and sad moan.
"The Point Guard Is Here."
Chirp Chirp gently stroked him. Little Fatty Chu licked his finger and rubbed it.
Chirp Chirp hugged him and used the most comfortable position for Little Fatty Chu to scratch his head and ears. He then put his face on the dog's body.
Chirp Chirp probably realized that the moment was coming. He said softly, "Sleep, Fatty. I'm here with you."
He heard Little Fatty Chu's breathing become weaker and weaker until it completely disappeared.
Little Fatty Chu was dead.
For a pet, this might be a good ending.
But for Chirp Chirp, Fatty Chu should be his family.
Little Fatty Chu experienced the first separation of life and death in his life. He became a lot calmer overnight.
Originally, the fathers were prepared to cry non-stop when Little Fatty Chu passed away. In the end, Chirp Chirp didn't cry.
One morning, when he woke up, he found Chirp Chirp's room light on. He walked over to take a look.
Chirp Chirp was combing Little Fatty Chu's hair.
Chuxun asked, "You woke up so early to play with Little Fatty Chu?"
Chirp Chirp suddenly said, "Fatty Chu passed away. I want to make him more beautiful."
Chuxun: "… …"
Chirp Chirp became unusually sensible and obedient.
He freed up a lot of time and silently devoted himself to his hobby of Go.
He was no longer the child who would come home from school with a big bowl of rice at the dining table and talk to his father with a smile. He was no longer the child who couldn't wait to tell his father every interesting bug he saw on the side of the road.
Now, she was chatting more with her brother and discussing her homework.
Little Fatty Chu was buried in the backyard, under a camphor tree.
But since the burial, Chirp Chirp didn't go to the corner where Fatty was buried.
He usually lived his life as usual, as if nothing had happened.
But occasionally, when he came home from school, he would subconsciously walk straight to the corner of the house and see that it was empty. Only then would he realize that Fatty Chu was no longer there. Even the kennel that had been there all year round had long been put away.
He was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and walked away as if nothing had happened.
Chu Xun was very worried. "Could it be that he has a psychological shadow?
Sigh. "
But Lin Yanchen said, "On the contrary, I think he is a very strong child."
Winter vacation.
The fathers took the children out to relax.
It was also a good season to see the aurora.
This time, they went to a small town in Canada in the far north.
Compared to the Meng Lian Lake that the fathers had been to before, the probability of seeing the aurora here was higher. They saw the aurora the day after they arrived.
The family of four sat in a cabin specially built for travelers in the polar region, drinking hot drinks, eating snacks, and watching the aurora.
The gorgeous band of light draped over the river of stars.
Lin Yanchen held Chuxun's hand. The two of them were close together, with a child on each side.
Lin Yanchen hugged Chirp Chirp's shoulder and said, "Chirp Chirp, look, Fatty Chu isn't actually dead. He turned into the stars in the sky to protect you."
Chirp Chirp said in disdain, "Dad, don't say such things. Are you lying to a child?
I know that Fatty Chu is dead. You might as well say that Fatty Chu can't bear to part with me and will be my puppy in his next life.
But I know that those are all fake. Life has an end.
It's useless to be sad, sigh … "
He raised his head and looked at the deep starry sky. He held his face that was red from the cold wind and said sadly, "My life also has an end."
Father and brother: "…"
Chuxun said, "Chirp Chirp, do you know why you can see starlight?"
Chirp Chirp shook his head. "I don't know."
Chuxun said gently, "Look at that star. Isn't it especially bright? Maybe it's a collapsed star that's very, very far away from us. Didn't you learn about the propagation of light?
After it exploded, the light that burst out traveled a long distance. Maybe it was a thousand years, maybe a hundred million years, maybe ten billion years, and finally reached here and reflected in your eyes. "
"I think, can this be counted as him existing for that long?"
Little Hao was confused by his words and asked, "Then are we looking at the past or the present?"
Chirp Chirp said, "Both."
He said again, "Dad, I'm already eleven years old. Don't call me Chirp Chirp. What does it look like? It's too childish."
Chuxun: "…"
He turned to look at Lin Yanchen. Lin Yanchen stuck his tongue out at him. Chuxun couldn't help but laugh.
Lin Yanchen took advantage of the fact that the children weren't paying attention and quickly kissed him.
A child's life should be lived by himself.
In the vast universe, every life was a one in a trillion miracle.
But the most amazing miracle in the universe might not be these different life forms, or a beautiful planet or a beam of light.
It was every moment in time, right here and now.
1
Everyone was born a lonely individual. Every meeting in the world was a miracle.
Parents were one step early, and children were one step late. It was also a miracle to meet a loved one in this life.
There would be pain, sadness, and annoyance, but there would also be joy, laughter, and happiness. All these moments when they were together were incomparable treasures.

The author has something to say: The story of Chuxun's family is almost over. Next, I'll write about Godfather and the others.
I wrote this paragraph based on my impression. I probably saw it in a BBC astrology film. The original words are much better than mine. I only remember a vague idea.
