System, hurry up! Hand it over to the supermarket and hug the country's thigh

However, since grandma has already asked the question, Lu Xi must find some excuses to answer.

"Well, not entirely. After dinner yesterday, I called my colleagues and they also wanted to keep cats, so I brought the litter of stray cats behind us over.

I didn’t expect that the mother cat was quite intelligent. After hearing that I wanted to raise babies, she left the three little ones and ran away. She must have trusted me a lot.”

Lu Xi's narration skillfully incorporates his own over-explanation and appropriate artistic additions.

It's just half true and half false. Those three are indeed what the system and Longlong want. There's nothing wrong with calling them colleagues.

And the mother cat was indeed quite spiritual. She left her three cubs behind and ran away, as if she felt liberated.

When the old lady heard that it was Lu Xi's colleagues who wanted to adopt the cats, a huge stone fell from her heart and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.

She was originally worried that her granddaughter would have to raise six kittens at once.

After all, raising so many cats is not an easy task, especially taking care of them all at the same time. It is not only time-consuming and costly, but most importantly, it may affect her own life.

The old lady still remembered that she once heard from her neighbors that an old woman from the back street went to her son's home in the county town and stayed for a few days. She saw that her son and daughter-in-law spent seven or eight thousand yuan to treat a cat, which was a considerable amount of money.

This made her even more worried about Lu Xi, fearing that her granddaughter would get sick because of a kitten at home, which would not only cost money and cause her pain, but would also delay her work.

What should she do then when she is outside and can't help at all?

Seeing that her grandmother believed it, Lu Xi felt both relieved and a little guilty.

One lie often needs to be covered up with countless lies, but some things really cannot be said out loud, and the nature of her job seems to leave her with only two choices.

Either they don't go home every day, or they make up another identity and then use countless words to falsify this identity.

Lu Xi took her grandmother's arm affectionately and said softly, "Grandma, let's go wash our hands. I bought some buns and fried dough sticks, as well as some porridge. If we don't eat them now, they will get cold."

As she spoke, she gently pushed her grandmother's back and walked towards the water pipe outside.

"Oh, by the way, where is Longlong? I haven't seen him since he came back. Where did he go?" Grandma asked as they walked. She hadn't seen the child since Lu Xi came back, and she was afraid that the child was lost.

"He's outside. He was so happy to see so many kittens that he went to play with them. He should be back soon."

Lu Xi replied with a smile. She couldn't say that little Longlong had accepted a mission to catch a cat, as that would probably get her scolded by the old lady.

A pampered child from the city runs to the village to catch a cat for you?

How are you going to explain this to your leader when you get back? And how will their children talk about you in front of their parents?

So, some lies are to cover up the truth, and some lies are to reduce some unnecessary trouble.

As soon as Lu Xi finished speaking, Long Ruilin's cheerful voice came from the door: "I'm coming, grandma, I'm here! I'm so hungry, let's eat!"

As he spoke, he walked quickly into the house, followed by the system running in quickly.

It looks like he's really hungry.

As soon as the old lady saw Long Ruilin, the smile on her face unconsciously widened.

She smiled and said, "Okay, okay, our Longlong has been playing all morning and must be very hungry. I'm going to wash my hands and then eat. Your sister bought a lot of things."

Long Ruilin nodded obediently, and said, "Okay, grandma, go wash your hands, and then we'll eat together."

The old lady grabbed the man's shoulder as he was about to walk to the dining table and asked, "Did you wash your hands after touching the cat?"

Long Ruilin showed his clean little paws to the old lady, "Wash them."

Actually, it was not washed, but after using the cleaning technique, it was much cleaner than if it had been washed.

Lu Xi looked at the two people having fun together and couldn't help feeling warm in her heart.

The old lady is usually alone at home. Her aunts sometimes come to visit every two or three weeks. Although there are many old men and women on the street, they can chat and play cards with her every day.

But after all, there is no one close to me at home, especially at night, when there is no one at home, I must feel empty inside.

However, this is also the norm in the village. Most of the people left at home are the elderly and the children who go to school in nearby towns or cities. There are very few people in their prime, so there are left-behind elderly people and left-behind children.

There is no way around it. This thing can't live in this village and accompany the old lady. The old lady can't leave a familiar place where she has lived for decades and go back to the base with her.

After the three of them sat down, they were ready to start eating. The system automatically jumped to an empty seat at the square table, where Lu Xi had placed a chair for it long ago.

The old lady didn't say anything after seeing it. She had gotten used to the cat climbing onto the stool in the past two days.

However, when she saw Lu Xi put a bun with a plastic lid in front of the tabby cat, she opened her mouth but said nothing.

The old lady thought of what her neighbor said, that her son and daughter-in-law raised a cat, and they did not feed it with leftovers, but special cat food, which weighed thirty or forty-one kilograms each, and was more expensive than buying meat.

There are also various canned foods and even special milk, there are so many varieties.

Now with just this one bun, the old lady felt that she really couldn't say much. Since coming here, she had never seen her granddaughter feed the cat cat food. They were all her own meals, which were cheaper.

Of course Lu Xi saw that her grandmother was hesitant to speak, but she pretended not to see it.

The old lady's deep-rooted idea was that it was good enough for the cats and dogs at home to have some leftover food, and it was impossible to prepare it specially for her.

But now young people keep pets differently. They treat them as family members rather than toys.

So sometimes some concepts need to be changed. If they cannot be changed, there is nothing you can do. Maybe you can only bring back less systems in the future.

After breakfast, Long Ruilin helped Lu Xi clean up the boxes and bags on the table, and then ran over to play with the kittens.
