Answer 1

Old Xie was born in the year of the Horse, and he was 55 years old. When he was young, he had been working as a grid climber in a certain organization. Now that he was getting older, he was still just a small clerk. In the unit, those who did not hold an official position had no right to speak. They were often sent by small leaders to do the aftermath. At the New Year's party, Old Xie, after getting drunk, begged the leader to appoint him as the deputy section chief in the morning and dismiss him in the afternoon, just to experience the taste of being a " leader."

Old Xie was a henpecked husband at home. His wife often complained about him, saying that Old Li, who worked at the same time as him, had become a deputy director. He had a house and a car, while Old Xie lived in a poor place and walked out. Under this kind of pressure for a long time, Old Xie got depression. His wife looked for Doctor Xiao Lin to prescribe medicine and injections, but none of them worked. Doctor Xiao Lin suggested that his wife buy a dog for Old Xie to try.

His wife overcame her mysophobia and bought a dog called Lele. In the morning or evening, Old Xie took Lele to walk around the cultural square. Like a commander, he commanded Lele to stand at attention, at ease, shake hands, salute, and so on. At this time, he felt like a human. Sometimes he would sit on a park bench with his arms around Lele, muttering with a rich expression on his face, as if he was reciting a poem. Old Xie, who couldn't hold his liquor, liked to hum "The Song of the Women's Army" when he drank on the street. Lele seemed to be able to keep up with his pace. In the spring, Lele was pregnant. Old Xie carefully carried it to the pet hospital to protect the fetus.
