Xiang Zhihan was held in Jiang Buwan's arms. He used to feel blushing and uneasy because of Jiang Buwan's embrace, but now he has calmly accepted it.
He lay in her arms like a real cat, and from time to time he would nuzzle Jiang Buwan with his plush cat face to help her relieve her nervousness.
Jiang Buwan felt the comfort from Xiaobai. He smiled and touched Xiaobai's soft cat ears. Her Xiaobai was really well-behaved. Not only could he see her nervousness, but he would also comfort her.
She often heard from her private school teacher that everything has animism.
It turns out it's all true.
Jiang Buwan's nervousness reached its peak after meeting her uncle, whom she had only met once.
When her aunt got married, her uncle was working as a butcher in a neighboring town. She only saw her uncle on the day of her wedding.
There was great joy in the family at that time, and as her aunt's closest relative, she naturally received her uncle's attention.
He originally wanted to give her some snacks and loose money, but she was so frightened by her uncle's rough and powerful appearance that she refused to get close to him. She also hugged her aunt tightly and refused to let her marry him.
Now that they met again, her uncle still looked as rugged and powerful as she remembered. He was very dark, with a messy beard covering his face, as if a black broom was stuck around his face, and his eyes were wide-eyed. As big as a copper bell.
Jiang Buwan pursed her lips and raised her eyes to look at her aunt. There was a bit of worry in her eyes, but she was not worried about her situation.
The worst she could do was go back to the streets, which she had been doing for many years anyway.
She was just worried about her aunt. Would her uncle be angry with her?
Jiang Xin noticed Jiang Buwan's worried gaze, lowered her head and smiled at her, and said warmly, "Wanwan, don't be afraid, your uncle may look vicious, but he is actually a very nice person."
Jiang Xin married a butcher named Xu Yang. Now she makes a living in Mingdu by killing pigs, slaughtering cattle and selling meat. Although her life is not as good as that of a wealthy family, she still lives a comfortable life with plenty of food and clothing.
Xu Yang's voice is as loud as a bell. "Xin'er, this is... Wanwan's niece?"
"That's right." Jiang Xin nodded, "It's me, Wanwan."
Xu Yang stretched his neck and looked back, "Where are my uncle and the others? Why is Wanwan alone?"
Jiang Xin's eyes turned red, "My brother and the others are all dead."
"What?" Xu Yang looked at Jiang Buwan and saw that she was in ragged clothes, with her head slightly lowered and holding back tears. She couldn't help but feel soft in her heart. What a pitiful child.
His face was ferocious, but his eyes were very gentle. He seemed to understand that his appearance could easily scare children, so he tried his best to put on a gentle and amiable smile, but it only made him more scary.
Jiang Xin burst out laughing, Xu Ji tutted, took a step back and said, "Dad, you look so scary like this."
Xu Yang's smile froze on his face. Jiang Buwan suddenly smiled when he saw the dark face and embarrassed eyes.
In fact, her uncle was not as scary as she imagined.
My aunt is right, my uncle is just evil-looking.
Seeing Jiang Buwan smile, Xu Yang felt less nervous instantly. He laughed along with Jiang Buwan, showing two rows of clean white teeth. He patted Jiang Buwan's head gently and said, "It's okay, you still have your aunt." , where is my uncle."
"Xin'er, you take Wanwan to take a bath first, and I'll cut some meat and slaughter a chicken to replenish Wanwan's body. Let's see how thin the child is."
Jiang Buwan was taken to take a bath by Jiang Xin. She looked at her aunt's eyebrows that were similar to her father's, and thought of her deceased father again.
If her father is not dead, she should be playing games with him now.
"Wanwan, this will be your home from now on."
Jiang Xin helped Jiang Buwan take off her tattered coat, only to see the bruises on her body. Jiang Xin touched the scars on her body with trembling hands, her tears shining, "Wanwan, does it hurt?"
Jiang Buwan: "It doesn't hurt."
After taking a bath, Jiang Xin put Jiang Buwan into Xu Ji's clothes for the time being, "Wanwan, these are Xu Ji's new clothes. He hasn't worn them yet."
Jiang Xin leaned over and put on her underwear, with a gentle smile on her face, "I will take you to the West Market early tomorrow morning and buy you two new clothes."
"No, I can just wear Xu Ji's old clothes."
Jiang Buwan felt that he had caused enough trouble to Jiang Xin and did not want Jiang Xin to spend more money.
"How can this be done?" Jiang Xin said, "You are a little girl, so naturally you have to dress up beautifully. What do you look like in old clothes?"
"You are my aunt's biological niece. If your aunt doesn't treat you well, who will she treat well?"
Jiang Buwan took the initiative to hug Jiang Xin and said softly, "Thank you, aunt."
"By the way, aunt, who is cousin Ji?"
At Xu Ji's age, there is no way he could be Jiang Xin's child. Could he be Xu Yang's child?
Although Jiang Buwan is young, she is very smart and precocious.
She understood that it was difficult to be a stepmother, and when Xu Yang asked to marry his aunt, he never said that he had children.
Jiang Xin smiled and scratched Jiang Buwan's nose, "I know you are worried about me."
"But Xu Ji is not the child of me and your uncle. His parents have passed away like you."
Jiang Buwan understood clearly, no wonder Xu Ji looked nothing like his uncle. He was fair and tender and looked like a young master from a wealthy family.
"His parents were saved by your uncle. Your uncle couldn't bear to see the child in trouble, so he took him back and raised him as his new son."
My uncle is really a good person.
Jiang Buwan finished taking a shower and put on clean clothes. When she walked out again, she looked much more delicate than her original dirty look. Although her face and skin color were thin and yellow due to her long-term homeless life, she was still It can be seen from her delicate facial features that the future is a beauty.
She looked at Xiaobai lying quietly against the wall, hugged him happily, and asked, "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, am I more beautiful now than before?"
Xiang Zhihan was unable to speak and only responded with a few soft meows.
"By the way, I took a bath, Xiaobai, you also need to take a bath."
Jiang Buwan said, holding the cat and ran to his aunt, "Aunt, can I give Xiaobai a bath?"
"sure."
When Xiang Zhihan heard that Jiang Buwan wanted to give him a bath, his limbs stiffened with shame. He was dumbfounded and didn't know how to react.
Although he is a cat, he still feels it whenever Jiang Buwan touches him.
and. . . Moreover, the fur will get wet when taking a bath. Xiang Zhihan only has one thought in his mind, isn't a cat with wet fur the same as a person without clothes?
He meowed, trying to break free and escape.
But he was just a cat now, and was no match for Jiang Buwan in terms of strength. Moreover, he was worried about scratching Jiang Buwan with his sharp cat claws, so he hid his nails in the thick flesh pads and did not dare to touch too much. Too much force.
Jiang Buwan pushed back Xiang Zhihan who was trying to escape, "Xiaobai, don't you like taking a bath?"
"That's not okay. If you don't take a shower, I won't hold you to sleep at night."
