Cheng Xiang looked up and saw the old lady poking her head out the door to eavesdrop.
Her mind changed, she cleared her throat and said, "Sister Jiao, I read a news in the newspaper two days ago. It said that a woman in a rural area was always bullied by her mother-in-law and her husband, either beating or scolding her. Then this The woman couldn't bear it anymore, guess what she did?"
Chen Jiao looked at Cheng Xiang in confusion.
Cheng Xiangqiao laughed and raised his voice and said: "She took a knife one night and chopped off the heads of her husband and mother-in-law. Oh, this is really a rabbit that bites people when it is anxious. She told the police that this way After all, she still made a profit."
Chen Jiao looked at her, understood what she meant, looked at her angrily and laughed.
"Okay, Sister Jiao, it's time for me to go home. Qing'er is still waiting at home." Cheng Xiang stood up, looked at the trembling old lady beside the door and said, "Auntie, I'm leaving."
The old lady walked out with a pale face: "Are you leaving now?"
"Well, let's go." Cheng Xiang walked to the door, looked at the hens in the yard and said, "Auntie, you said this chicken doesn't lay eggs for two reasons. One, she is old and can't lay eggs. Now, second, maybe the cock is not working, don’t you think so?”
Cheng Xiang stared at the old lady with his bright eyes.
The old lady smiled coquettishly.
Cheng Xiang said to Chen Jiao again: "Sister Jiao, sharpen that knife. If the chicken really doesn't lay eggs, kill it and make soup for my aunt to replenish your health."
Chen Jiao couldn't help laughing when she looked at her weird look.
After Cheng Xiang left, Chen Jiao stood at the door for a long time looking at her back.
Turning back to the yard, she picked up the kitchen knife and sharpened it.
Listening to the sound of sharpening the knife, the old lady trembled in her heart: "Jiaojiao, what are you doing?"
Chen Jiao said without raising her head: "Kill the chicken and stew it for you."
"Ouch," the old lady exclaimed, "Stop working, go and have a rest. When Tianwang comes back, let him kill him, and we both will drink soup to replenish our body."
Chen Jiao smiled, threw down the knife and said, "That's okay, you can rest, I'll go take a look at the vegetable patch."
The old lady smiled kindly and said, "Go ahead and come back early, don't be tired."
When Chen Jiao went out, the old lady just patted her chest and gasped.
Cheng Xiang returned home and thought about how to help Chen Jiao get out of the predicament.
At this time the door opened and it was Chen Tian.
He walked in furiously and shouted: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, do you think I have brought you something good?"
Cheng Xiang ran out and saw that Chen Tian was holding a half-sized kitten in his hand. It had brown hair all over its body, two pointed ears, wide eyes, and meowed.
Chen Tian blushed with excitement: "Sister-in-law, Brother Lei said that there are mice in your house, so I went to the neighboring village to get them for you. This cat is very good at catching mice."
After speaking, he looked at Cheng Xiang eagerly, as if begging for praise.
Cheng Xiang stared at the cat blankly, blinked at Chen Tian, smiled and said, "Thank you, Xiaotian, I...just need a cat."
Qing'er next to him was very happy, clapping his hands and teasing the kitten: "Meow, meow, meow"
"Hey, thank you. I'll cook something delicious later, just let me eat it." Chen Tian smiled playfully.
"Of course." Cheng Xiang also smiled. The two siblings were really cute and honest, which strengthened Cheng's idea of helping Chen Jiao.
In the evening, the three little guys were very surprised when they saw the kitten. They kept holding it and teasing it. They shouted several times before the meal was served.
In fact, Cheng Xiang also likes small animals. However, his mother has asthma and hair allergies and is not allowed to keep small animals at home.
She would often give food to some stray cats on the street. She lived an impetuous life, and being with small animals would make people feel extremely calm.
Although the cat looked very clean, Cheng Xiang still planned to give it a bath.
In front of the well in the yard, Cheng Xiang was bathing the kitten with soap when Zhou Tianlei came back.
When he saw the cat, he was stunned.
"Where did the cat come from?" he asked blankly.
Cheng Xiang said while washing: "Chen Tian sent it."
..... Zhou Tianlei only felt a black line on his forehead.
"With this cat, I won't be afraid of mice anymore." Cheng Xiang raised his head and looked at Zhou Tianlei with bright eyes.
......."Yes" Zhou Tianlei smiled slightly.
Cheng Xiang pouted and said, "I plan to give it a name."
"Oh? What's it called?" Zhou Tianlei stepped forward and asked.
Cheng Xiang raised the cat, stared at it and said, "Call it, Xiao, Tian."
Zhou Tianlei couldn't help laughing, raised his hand to rub Cheng Xiang's hair, and squatted down to bathe the cat with her.
With this cat, Zhou Tianlei was laid off. Before going to bed, he walked around Cheng Xiang and said, "Well, if you are scared at night, just call me."
"There is a cat." Cheng Xiang looked at him deliberately holding back a smile.
"Yes, there is a cat." Zhou Tianlei scratched his eyebrows, turned around and entered the room, having already greeted Chen Tian a hundred times in his heart.
Chen Tian, who was sleeping at home, suddenly shivered in this hot summer.
With this kitten, I don't know whether it really scared away the mice or it was just a psychological effect, but in short, I slept very peacefully.
When I got up the next day, Zhou Tianlei was already gone.
Cheng Xiang cleaned the yard and stretched at the door. Although it was already summer, the village was still cool in the morning.
Cheng Xiang looked around at the door and suddenly thought that she hadn't seen the old man peeping at her recently.
"It seems Zhou Tianlei has taken care of it," Cheng Xiang thought happily, "My partner is really reliable in his work."
In the distance, he saw a thin figure walking from the foot of the mountain carrying a backpack. ,
Taking a closer look, "Hey, it's Tian Xing, what is he doing so early in the morning?"
When Zhou Tianxing walked in, he saw that there were slowly growing wolfberry branches in the basket, and the plump wolfberry berries were still on the branches, with sparkling dew.
"Tian Xing, you got up so early to pick wolfberries?" Cheng Xiang followed Tian Xing into the yard and helped him unload his backpack.
"Yeah" Zhou Tianxing responded calmly.
Cheng Xiang looked at the fresh wolfberries and Zhou Tianxing's soaked back, and felt moved in his heart: "Tianxing, why are you so good? You will definitely be a warm man in the future. Anyone who finds you as a partner will be so happy. .”
Cheng wanted to tease him with a smile.
Zhou Tianxing's face turned red: "What are you talking nonsense about?"
Turned around and returned to the room.
Cheng Xiang giggled at his look and shouted to him: "Hurry up and change your clothes and come over to eat."
While eating, Zhou Tianxing looked like he was hesitant to speak, as if he had something to say.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Xiang looked at him and asked seriously, "Is something wrong?"
Zhou Tianxing opened his mouth, but still didn't speak.
Cheng Xiang's almond-shaped eyes widened: "Man, be more cheerful and talk about things quickly!"
