The salty life in Life of Pi

Chapter 68 Tell me when you reward me next time

The sales staff at the pet hospital sent the two people out of the hospital with a smile on their face. The two people spent a lot of money to buy two pet collars with trackers. It might be difficult to sell even one of these things in half a year. This time two were sold at once. What's wrong with smiling?
When they got home, they took out their cell phones, located the trackers on the two collars, and then used coaxing and tricking methods to put the collars around the necks of the two cats.

"mua~Fishball is so obedient"

Lin Miaomiao buried herself in Yuwan's arms, took a deep breath, and felt extremely relaxed physically and mentally. Laotie looked at Yuwan enviously, then turned and meowed at Wu Xianyu.

"Don't even think about it. If you want to be sucked, go find your mom. I, your dad, won't do such a thing."

Wu Xianyu, who was scratching Lao Tie's chin, ignored Lao Tie's wishful thinking. When Lin Miaomiao heard what Wu Xianyu said, she grabbed Lao Tie and took a deep sip, with an upset expression on her face.
"Ah, kittens are so nice. Why are there such cute creatures in the world?"

After opening her eyes, Lin Miaomiao held the two cats in her arms. She seemed to be talking to the two cats, but in fact she was talking to someone.

"There is actually someone who doesn't like cats. Do you think he is a normal person?"

"Meow~"

I don’t know what the two cats said, but Wu Xianyu looked at Lin Miaomiao’s lips and curled up a playful smile.

"I don't suck cats, but I can suck other things."

Lin Miaomiao looked up at him, and when she felt where his gaze was focused, her face turned slightly red, and she picked up the two cats to cover her face.

"Your father is so shameless"

In fact, she was already prepared to give her first kiss, but girls definitely wanted the process to be more romantic. Wu Xianyu knew that, so he was always looking for an opportunity.

After playing for a while, Lin Miaomiao put down the two cats and stood up.
"I'm going home. Call me when you go fishing tomorrow."

"Well, go ahead."

"You forgot to say goodnight"

"Good night then."

"Hey, good night."

After Lin Miaomiao left, Wu Xianyu stretched himself, rubbed the two cats' heads, got up and returned to his room. He did not close the door of the utility room. Now the two cats have developed the habit of using the litter box and know to go to the automatic feeder to eat and drink when they are hungry or thirsty. Wu Xianyu simply did not restrain them. After all, cats are creatures, and it is a punishment to trap them in a room.

While Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao went back to their respective homes to rest, Deng Xiaoqi was also communicating with Deng Xinhua, who had just returned from a cocktail party and still reeked of alcohol and had a flushed face.

Deng Xinhua carefully woke up Deng Xiaoqi. She was actually a little surprised because she never saw her go to bed so early.

Rubbing his eyes, Deng Xiaoqi stood up with a frown, speaking in an irritable tone.
"Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"

"Mom has other things to do tomorrow. Did you know that last time I went to school, I met with the principal and Qian Sanyi's mother?"

Hearing this news, Deng Xiaoqi was shocked and came back to her senses instantly, grabbing her mother's hand
"Mom, why did you come? Is it because of that photo?"

Seeing Deng Xinhua nod, Deng Xiaoqi was about to bring out her prepared speech, but Deng Xinhua saw through it and interrupted her.

"Don't say anything yet. Mom is going to ask you if you are with Qian Sanyi now."

After hesitating for a while, Deng Xiaoqi gave up the words she had prepared and told the truth.

"Yeah, we were together before, but there was a period of time where it was too obvious, so I took the initiative to break up. We got back together during this school trip because of his fear of heights."

Touching her daughter's face, with the catalysis of alcohol, Deng Xinhua couldn't help but recall her youth. She didn't go to an elite high school at that time. She just went to a random high school in her hometown. It was a mixed bag. She was so pretty and there was never a shortage of boys around her. She was immersed in sweet words at the time. When she came to her senses, she already had Xiaoqi, but that boy became a coward.

Her parents were ashamed of her and asked her to get out of the house and find the child's father, but the man's parents closed the door and refused to see her. Fortunately, people at that time valued face and gave her some money and asked her to stay away. So she came to Jiangzhou. She originally wanted to have an abortion, but she couldn't make up her mind in the end. So she took Xiaoqi and settled down in Jiangzhou.

Perhaps it was God's mercy that did not leave me with a dead end. I raised Xiaoqi by selling my pretty face. There were people pursuing me over the years, but I gave up all of them for Xiaoqi. Xiaoqi was everything to me, and I would do anything to protect her from getting hurt.

Seeing Xiaoqi's anxious look, Deng Xinhua hugged her in his arms, sighed, and comforted her.

"It's okay. Boys and girls have their own impulses. Mom also has those times. I understand. As long as you don't cross the line, everything will be fine."

After hearing what her mother said, Deng Xiaoqi couldn't help but blink a few more times. She felt a little guilty and hesitated for a while but still didn't say anything.

Deng Xinhua didn't notice the expression of the child in her arms, and continued to talk to herself.
"When you talk to Qian Sanyi's family, you don't have to say anything, because mom will be there. No matter what, we are the ones who suffer, unless they are shameless. When you are admitted to university, mom will definitely find ways to make you stand out, and then mom can relax."

"mom"

Deng Xiaoqi's voice was a little hoarse. She regretted what she had done, but there was no way back. She could only go down this path until the end.

Hearing her child's voice, Deng Xinhua patted her on the back
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go to bed. Mom also needs to go to bed early because she has to get up early tomorrow."

Getting up from Deng Xiaoqi's bed and turning off the light for her, Deng Xinhua left a message.

"Good night"

"Goodnight Mom"

As the bedroom door was closed, Deng Xiaoqi stared at the ceiling in the dark with her eyes open. She had a premonition that when she used that thing that day, she should have thought of the consequences. But she really regretted it now. Touching her lower abdomen, Deng Xiaoqi's mind was filled with thoughts.

Saturday, park near the country garden, near the creek.

"Meow~"

"Meow~meow~"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing, I'm fishing."

There were two cats squatting at Wu Xianyu's feet, meowing every now and then. There were ropes around their necks, and the other end of the rope was held in the hand of a short-haired girl. The girl was looking at Wu Xianyu with a playful smile on her face. After all, he had already raised the fishing rod four or five times, but except for a small fish that was less than the size of a palm that was caught at the beginning, the rest of the time he caught an empty rod.

Yuwan and Laotie started fighting over the little fish fry. Now Wu Xianyu regretted very much that he had agreed to let Lin Miaomiao bring the cat to play.

His originally leisurely fishing trip was turned into going to work, with two supervisors making it impossible for him to relax at all. He had to be alert at the slightest movement of the float.

"Is it ok, Air Force guy?"

When Lin Miaomiao's sarcastic voice came, Wu Xianyu felt his teeth itching a little, and he gritted his teeth and spoke impatiently.

"Don't make any noise, you're scaring the fish away"

"Oh, I can't poop, I have to rely on the toilet"

Lin Miaomiao was not at all inferior to him and kept chattering on and on, which made Wu Xianyu feel overwhelmed, but he couldn't do anything about her.

At a distance from the two people, Wang Shengnan and Lin Dawei secretly watched the two people. Lin Dawei was holding a telescope in his hand. After watching for a long time, he was sure that the two people did not have any close contact, so he put down the telescope, but his brows were still furrowed. Wang Shengnan crossed her arms and looked at him with squinting eyes.
"I've already said that we're both fine, and we haven't crossed any line. I really don't know what's going on in your mind every day."

"We have to be on guard, because some signs are born out of this kind of daily interactions."

"cut"

Wang Shengnan turned her head away with disdain, just as you could discover and nip these signs in the bud.

"Hey! What are these two doing?"

Not knowing what happened, Lin Dawei saw with his own eyes that the two children suddenly gathered together. Just as he was about to rush over, he was stopped by Wang Shengnan, and the telescope hanging around his neck was also taken away.

Wang Shengnan took a look, threw the telescope back to Lin Dawei, and turned to leave the park.
"Watch it for yourself, and then leave quickly. I have to go buy groceries to prepare lunch."

"Hey, what did you see? Don't leave so quickly, let me take a look."

Lin Dawei hurriedly picked up the telescope and saw that it was Wu Xianyu who caught a fish. The two cats rushed over. Lin Miaomiao was not careful and was dragged by the cat to run a few steps. From a distance, the two of them looked like they were stuck together, but in fact, nothing happened.

After making sure that nothing was wrong, Lin Dawei quickened his pace to catch up with his wife and go shopping for groceries.

Wu Xianyu pulled the fishing rod with one hand and helped pull the leashes of the two cats with the other hand. He also used his arm to hold Lin Miaomiao to help her stabilize her center of gravity. He was very busy.

After Lin Miaomiao regained her balance, she didn't care about the feeling in her chest. She pulled the two cats back and gave them a blow.

"Why are you two in such a hurry? Wait until your father is brought ashore and you can rob him however you want. Now just stay still."

The two cats didn't understand why they were not allowed to catch fish, but they stayed quiet for a while and just kept meowing.

Without any other distractions, Wu Xianyu simply pulled hard and a grass carp as long as his forearm was pulled up. When Wu Xianyu took out the fishhook, Lin Miaomiao also let out the traction rope a little.

This time the two cats didn't dare to move. It's no wonder they didn't dare to do anything, because the fish looked almost the same size as a cat.

Lin Miaomiao stood aside, one hand on her waist, looking at the two rebellious sons.
"You were so excited just now, why don't you dare to bite me now? Aren't you afraid that I'll blow you away with my tail?"

Wu Xianyu, who had completed the mission, was in a good mood. He could no longer be called an air force officer. He stretched his body.
"If you ask me, it's better to just fish for the smaller fish. They won't dare to bite the bigger ones."

"Well, that's the worst you can do. They don't dare to bite it because they are not good enough, right?"

Lin Miaomiao said flattering words and nudged Wu Xianyu from the side with her butt, but she forgot that she was standing and Wu Xianyu was sitting, so Wu Xianyu only felt something touching his face.

Turning his head, he met Lin Miaomiao's confused eyes. Her face was visibly red, even her roots were red. Lin Miaomiao quickly waved her hand to explain.
"No, I didn't mean to do that. I forgot you were sitting. I really didn't mean to do that."

But Wu Xianyu was not as angry as she imagined. Instead, he glanced at his butt, pursed his lips, and turned to look at the fishing rod.

"Let me know when you reward me next time"

"what??"

Lin Miaomiao was offline for a while, and then she kicked Wu Xianyu's leg in anger.

"You're a pervert."

"You just know"

. . . . . .

In the end, the grass carp was given to the other fisherman amid the two cats' unwilling meows. In exchange, the fisherman asked for two palm-sized fish and gave them to Yuwan and Laotie as a snack. Normally, the two cats rarely ate cat food. They basically ate whatever Wu Xianyu ate. Of course, they all ate the food without any seasoning on purpose.

After the two cats finished eating, the two walked home, just as if they were taking the cats for a walk, although they had no idea what there was so good about taking the cats for a walk.

Back in the community, Lin Miaomiao prepared to go home and said goodbye to Wu Xianyu at the stairs.

"I'm going home to eat. Are you going out this afternoon?"

"I won't go. It's like going to work for you. I'm exhausted."

Wu Xianyu shook his head and refused to go fishing for the first time. Lin Miaomiao smacked her lips in dissatisfaction.
"Then call me next time you go fishing."

After saying that, he waved good-bye and went back upstairs. Wu Xianyu returned home with his two cats.

Not long after returning home, I was cooking when the door opened again. Lin Miaomiao walked in and saw Wu Xianyu busy in the kitchen. She walked over with a helpless look on her face.
"I don't know what my parents were thinking. They helped an old man and he is now in the hospital."

"Hmm? You got blackmailed? Do you want me to help you say hello to Uncle Liu?"

"No need for now, it's not that serious. The person is still unconscious, and the doctor mistook my parents for the old man's children."

"Then I'll make some more food, and you can take it home and put it in the refrigerator. When your uncle and aunt come back, they can heat it up and eat it."

"Yes, OK."

Wu Xianyu fried a plate of twice-cooked pork and a plate of dried tofu with hot peppers, both of which were quite large portions. However, Lin Miaomiao was worried that her parents were being blackmailed, so she was a little absent-minded while eating.

After the two finished their meal and were about to carry the dishes back to Lin Miaomiao's house, they heard the footsteps of Wang Shengnan and Lin Dawei downstairs.

Lin Miaomiao stopped what she was doing, put the dishes back on Wu Xianyu's table, and went to meet him.

"Dad, Mom, you're back? What did the old man say?"

Wang Shengnan looked at Lin Dawei with an unhappy face and said to Lin Miaomiao
"Ask your dad why he has to be a good person."

Seeing that the two were still going upstairs, Lin Miaomiao directly pulled them back.

"Come to Xianyu's house for dinner. I made a little extra. There's some rice in the pot. I'll serve it to you."

Wang Shengnan felt a little sour when she saw Lin Miaomiao busying around at Wu Xianyu's house. Why wasn't this the case at her own home? Wu Xianyu also brought some water to the two of them. It was estimated that the two of them had been busy all afternoon and hadn't had much water to drink.

Lin Dawei was still wondering whether he should help the person or not, and didn't pay attention to the appearance of the two children. But in Wang Shengnan's eyes, what was the difference between them and a young couple?
The two were indeed hungry after being busy all afternoon, so they didn't hesitate and had lunch at Wu Xianyu's house.

While eating, Wu Xianyu also listened to the two people's story and touched his chin.
"So, that old man is also from our community. This time he had an accidental attack and has woken up now. He promised you that he would return the money when he was discharged from the hospital. I think he is reliable. If you really want to blackmail us, you won't be allowed to come back so easily."

Wang Shengnan curled her lips and looked at Lin Dawei with a squint
"It's just that your uncle likes to meddle in other people's business, otherwise there wouldn't be so many things going on."

"That's not the way to say it. Uncle, you saved a life. It's a good thing and you should be praised."
