“What’s wrong? Is there a problem on the roof?” The director saw that the other children had all gone to play with the cats. Only Jiang Xinyuan was different from the other children. He seemed to be more interested in this house. Jiang Xinyuan thought about it. “Will there be rats on the roof?”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Nan immediately took a deep breath. “That’s right. Why did I forget about this? There are definitely rats in houses in the countryside! Especially in such an old house that has been in disrepair for a
long time. The beams might have been bitten…”
“Don’t panic!” Fu Xin patted her shoulder and comforted her. “Look, there are cats in this house. There won’t be any rats within a five-kilometer radius. Country cats are very good at catching rats.”
Fei Fei looked at the two cats not far away and was tempted. “Are there any extra cats? Can we have one in each house? I’m really afraid of rats! But when I think of this dilapidated house, I’m not afraid of rats.”
Chen Xiaomei was not afraid of rats. Moreover, she remembered that in her previous life, Bai Ruirui’s luck was the best. She directly drew the best red brick house of all the houses. And Jiang Xinyuan drew the first house. There was also a cat in that house. Although it was raised by the owner, he did not care much about it. Jiang Xinyuan liked it very much. Before he left, he even asked her if she could bring the cat home. But how could she do as he wanted? She directly rejected it.
When she saw Jiang Xinyuan’s sad expression, she was happy for a few days.
Chen Xiaomei thought of something and immediately said enthusiastically, “There must be many pastoral cats in the village. They are all good at catching rats. Fei Fei, if you really want them, you can go to the other villagers’ houses and ask if there are any female cats that can give kittens to others! Cats in the village are usually not sterilized. There must be a lot of kittens.”
Fei Fei said awkwardly, “But I can’t bring it home. My mother has asthma. We can’t raise small animals at home. If we bring other people’s kittens here, we won’t be able to raise them.”
Chen Xiaomei’s eyes lit up. “That’s not a problem! I like kittens, and so does
Ruirui. If you can’t bring them back, you can give them to me! I’ll raise them.”
Fei Fei did not expect Chen Xiaomei to be so kind. She immediately looked grateful. “Thank you so much.”
Chen Xiaomei smiled and accepted her gratitude, but she was cursing in her heart, What’s going on? I’ve alreadyperformed so well, but I only receive this little favorability? Is this lousy system broken? F*ck, are the audience stupid? Seriously, the system is even f*cking switched off at this time. I don’t even know what Fu Xin’s favorability is. Tm so angry!
Jiang Xinyuan blinked and dug his ears again. This bad woman really liked to curse, and she always blamed others! Why couldn’t she find the reason from herself? She was really bad.
He turned around and looked at Fu Xin, who was playing with Auntie Zhang Nan. His mother was the best! She was lively and cheerful!
However, Jiang Xinyuan had a new problem. Since this family had a cat, why would the beam be hollowed out by rats? Could it be that the beam was hollowed out before the cat was raised and had not been discovered? Then it would take even longer. But how could he get the staff to check it again? After all, he could not directly say that there was a problem with the beam. That bad woman was still watching.
The director continued to explain and brought the guests to continue to tour the house.
After everyone else left, Fu Xin came to Jiang Xinyuan, who had been thinking with his head lowered. She squatted down and pinched his chubby little face. “Little friend, what are you thinking about? Why are you in such a daze? You’ve been worried since you entered this house. What’s wrong?”
Jiang Xinyuan looked up at his mother. Hearing her gentle words and the faint smile on her face, he felt extremely blessed. He could not help but want to ask his mother for help, but he had never asked his mother for help in his life. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
If he told his mother directly, she would probably ask him why he was worried about this, right? Then how could he explain? He didn’t want to lie to his mother, but he couldn’t tell her the real reason.
His mother might not Imow that he had died once. She might be sad because of what had happened to him in his previous life. He did not want his mother to be sad at all, not even a little..
