"Cat and dog..." Xie Zhao's beautiful lips curled slightly, and he placed his hands on Cheng Yaoyao's pillow and laughed softly: "What are you thinking about?"

Cheng Yaoyao covered his face with his slender index finger, which then emerged from the gap between his fingers, shining like a star: "I miss Xie Zhao."

Her voice became sweet and soft again, which made Xie Zhao's heart melt. Xie Zhao lowered his head and kissed Cheng Yaoyao's eyes through his fingers.

Cheng Yaoyao's thoughts had already flown away: "Is that the female dog the one that fed Jianjian? What color is she? What color will the puppies she gives birth to be? I want the fattest one, the chubby ones are cute. Black is also OK, with a yellow back and a black mouth. There was one like this in my grandfather's manor. Which is better, a female or a male? Xie Zhao, make a doghouse tomorrow, and make it bigger. Alas, I don't know if Jianjian will bully it..."

"..." Xie Zhao's tenderness and love froze. A little dog had already entered his little head, a fat, yellow-backed, black-mouthed, extremely ugly and stupid dog!

"Ouch!" Cheng Yaoyao cried out, and quickly put the fingertips into his mouth and sucked them, saying aggrievedly: "Why are you biting me? Are you a dog?"

Xie Zhao said sternly: "Don't you like dogs?"

Cheng Yaoyao said angrily: "Then shake your tail and see."

"Here, touch it."

Cheng Yuanyuan's seven tricks are like smoke. Who said Xie Zhao is tongue-tied? When he speaks dirty words, he speaks like a lotus flower!

Cheng Yaoyao is angry and wants Xie Zhao to hold him and spin around in circles to make him feel better!

The moonlight poured into the room from the window, reflecting the water-polished blue brick floor as white as snow. Cheng Yaoyao lay on Xie Zhao's shoulder, like a small boat floating on the sea, with calm water and gentle breeze, feeling very safe and comfortable.

There was a sudden creaking sound from the tiles outside the window, and something lightly ran past. Then there was a stubborn cry. This voice was softer than the usual childish tone, and it was flattering.

"Meow~" Another cat's meow, with the unique softness of a female cat and a proud tone.

The tiles creaked again, and after a while, a chubby little cat jumped down from the roof, landed on the windowsill, and jumped into the yard. A white cat also jumped down, landed on the windowsill and looked inside.

A small white cat with green eyes.

Cheng Yaoyao and the little white cat looked at each other. The little white cat obviously didn't expect to be seen by someone. It jumped back in shock and disappeared in an instant.

Cheng Yaoyao grabbed Xie Zhao's neck and screamed softly: "Jiang Jian brought his girlfriend home!"

The two of them leaned in through the crack of the door to look. In the moonlight, the little white cat was glowing all over. Compared with the round-headed and round-headed Jianjian, she looked like a fairy. The little white cat walked gracefully and lightly, following Jianjian to the cat bowl.

Stubborn Meow said a few words and pushed the bowl in front of the little white cat with his paws.

In Jianjian's bowl was Cheng Yaoyao's special cat rice. The small fish was cooked until it was rotten and the bones were filtered out. The fish soup was mixed with chopped egg yolk, duck heart and chopped carrots, steamed and kneaded into balls. After cooling, the gelatin of the fish meat solidified into jelly, which can be stored for a long time.

People these days are not always full, let alone a little wild cat. When the little white cat smelled the cat rice, he immediately threw away his reserve and buried his head in the bowl to eat.

Stubbornly got through.

Cheng Yaoyao secretly thought that this was not good. Jianjian was very protective of his food. If Xie Zhao accidentally kicked his cat bowl, he would chase Xie Zhao all night. He was really going to get angry!

Who knew that Jianjian just went up to the little white cat and licked its fur.

The little white cat ate its meal quickly. It was very alert to the unfamiliar environment. It kept looking up and looking around while eating, with its body tense, as if it would run away immediately at the slightest disturbance.

A bowl of cat rice was quickly finished. The little white cat licked its paws to wash its face. Jianjian also came over to lick the little white cat's fur. This time the little white cat pulled it away with one paw, meowed proudly, jumped onto the firewood pile, used the momentum to jump onto the roof, and soon disappeared in the moonlight.

He uttered "hmm" twice in a stubborn and aggrieved manner, and his round figure seemed a little languid under the moonlight.

Stubborn boy, wake up! You will lick the cat until you have nothing left!

Jianjian actually has a girlfriend, and he brought her home to spend the night without his mother's consent! Cheng Yaoyao complained to Xie Zhao angrily, and the next day he still added a new bowl to the side of Jianjian's small bowl.

The whole family secretly observed the little white cat's nest. After a few days, the whole family saw the little white cat at night. The little white cat always quickly finished its own bowl of cat food and tried to grab the bowl of the little white cat. The little white cat changed its domineering nature and gave way to the little white cat with a good temper. The little white cat waited until the little white cat was full and licked its fur. It was not until the little white cat pushed it away that it buried itself in the little bowl and ate up the remaining food with a roar.

But the little white cat would always leave after eating and would never stay. It also refused to let Jianjian lick its fur and would even beat it when it was annoyed.

Grandma Xie was not going to do it anymore. She hugged the little girl and said, "How can this little girl be so shameless? If she doesn't like us being stubborn, why did she come to our house to eat? I won't give her food next time!"

Cheng Yaoyao said: "If it's not for food, why would the little white cat come to find Jianjian? Because he wants to get fat or because he doesn't take a bath?"

I don't know if Jianjian understood or not, and he yelled even louder.

Cheng Yaoyao pinched the cat's ears and coaxed it perfunctorily: "Don't be sad, I'll go to the city today to get you a child bride."

Grandma Xie asked, "What do you mean by child bride?"

Cheng Yaoyao blinked: "Xie Zhao said he wanted to bring a puppy back to raise!"

Grandma Xie said happily, "This is a good idea. We used to have three big wolfhounds at home, and Zhao Ge'er loved them very much."

Cheng Yaoyao packed up the things he was going to bring to Xie Fei and drove to the village entrance with Xie Zhao.

Xie Zhao drove a tractor into the city to transport fertilizer today, and as usual, there were many women taking the tractor. Each of them was holding a hen, carrying a basket of eggs, a large pumpkin or a bag of millet, or carrying it on their shoulders or in their hands.

Ever since last year, when the village lifted the restriction that each family could only raise three chickens, all diligent and hardworking women in the village have started raising more chickens. They are reluctant to eat the eggs themselves, and when they have collected a hundred, they take them to the city to exchange for money.

The supply and marketing cooperative sold eggs for 5 cents each, so 100 eggs cost 5 yuan! In those days, chicken butt banks were the only way for women to earn cash. Children's tuition, daily necessities, and new clothes were all saved up one by one.

Every time we go into the city, everyone is in high spirits, but today it was all noisy.

Cheng Yaoyao shouted: "Someone is arguing, it's Mrs. Lin and Lin Ranran! Go and take a look..."

As she spoke, she ran forward, but was caught by Xie Zhao: "Are you not listening again?"

"... Let's go together." Cheng Yaoyao dragged Xie Zhao towards the crowd. Xie Zhao criticized her for joining in the fun, but he didn't resist.

A thin old lady in the crowd clapped her hands and cursed: "You stupid girl, you don't work and go to the city all day long. What's wrong with you having a wild man in the city?!"

Lin Ranran cried, "I... I didn't. Xiaoqiu is not feeling well. I want to take her to the city to see a doctor..."

"Bah! I think you have a strange man in the city! Cheng Nonuo said the other day that he saw you secretly eating egg cake with Xiaoqiu in the grove. Where did you steal the money? Or did the strange man give it to you?" Mrs. Lin said, grabbing Lin Ranran and searching her body, "Do you have any money?"

Lin Ranran burst into tears: "The cake was given to Xiaoqiu by someone else, it was not stolen!"

Xiao Qiu also shouted clearly: "It was Cheng Nonuo who stole my cake. I refused to give it to her and she beat me up!"

Mrs. Lin spat, "Bah! Who gave you something as expensive as an egg cake? How dare you lie!"

Xiaoqiu looked towards Cheng Yaoyao, but Lin Ranran pulled her aside and cried, "I didn't lie!"

As she spoke, Granny Lin raised her hand to hit her again. Lin Ranran screamed and dodged backwards: "It hurts! Grandma, please stop hitting me... Please let me take Xiaoqiu to see a doctor. I will feed the pigs and wash clothes when I come back! Can't I give my room to Cheng Nonuo? Xiaoqiu and I will move to the woodshed to live!"

The women who were watching could not bear to watch it any longer, but they did not dare to pull the tough old lady Lin away. They all said, "Old lady Lin, how can you beat your granddaughter like that? The child is sick!"

"That Cheng Nuonuo is not a good person either. He instigates Mrs. Lin to bully the children every day. Bah, what a piece of shit!"

Cheng Yaoyao couldn't help it, and pushed Xie Zhao beside him and said, "Xie Zhao, go and grab Mrs. Lin!"

Xie Zhao remained indifferent and said, "Take a closer look."

Cheng Yaoyao looked at him strangely, then turned to look at the crowd. He saw Aunt Lin chasing and beating Lin Ranran, scolding her as she chased, while Lin Ranran ran and cried. But if you look closely, Aunt Lin was panting as she chased with her little feet, but she couldn't catch up with Lin Ranran at all. Lin Ranran dodged flexibly, and occasionally stopped to tease Aunt Lin, which was quite interesting like a cat playing with a mouse. When Aunt Lin waved her hand down, she screamed before she even touched Lin Ranran.

Lin Ranran's crying words further incited the anger of the onlookers, and their disgust for Mrs. Lin and Cheng Nonuo deepened.

Cheng Yaoyao touched her chin. It seemed that her intuition was correct. There was something wrong with Lin Ranran.

Mrs. Lin was old, and after being outrun by Lin Ranran for several rounds, she finally couldn't catch up with her anymore. She panted like a bellows and cursed: "You stupid girl, just wait for me, I'm going to skin you alive today!"

The play ends here, and it will be over if it continues. Xie Zhao stepped forward and started the tractor, and the women got on the tractor, pulling Lin Ranran and her sister up. Mrs. Lin was still breathing heavily, and when she saw this, she quickly picked up the basket and said, "I haven't gotten on yet!"

With a bang, black smoke covered her head and face, and the tractor rumbled away.

The cursing Mrs. Lin was left far behind, and the women in the car all comforted Lin Ranran with sympathy.

When the car arrived at the city gate, all the women got off, except Lin Ranran and her sister, who followed the car to the fertilizer factory.

Lin Ranran stayed behind specifically to thank Cheng Yaoyao alone: ​​"Thank you so much for last time, otherwise Xiaoqiu..."

Cheng Yaoyao waved his hand and said, "I'm glad Xiaoqiu is okay."

Cheng Yaoyao carefully observed Lin Ranran. Although the clothes on the sisters were old, they were warm enough. Their faces were yellow and thin, and if you looked closely, you could see that they had gained some weight on their faces, which was much better than when they just returned to the village. The eyes of Lin Ranran in the past were clear and timid, but the eyes of Lin Ranran in front of him were clear and firm.

Cheng Yaoyao's mood was a bit complicated. In the original book, there were two reasons why Lin Ranran was transmigrated. One was because she was slandered and went to the small forest, and the other was because of Xiaoqiu's heart disease. Both of these opportunities were broken by Cheng Yaoyao, but she didn't expect that the plot of the original book was so powerful that the transmigrated Lin Ranran still appeared.

It was as if a hand in the dark was repairing the plot loopholes, allowing the original protagonist and the plot to move back to the predetermined ending. Fortunately, Xie Zhao's fate has gone off track and no longer has any intersection with the protagonists of the original book.

Lin Ranran thanked Cheng Yaoyao and walked out with Xiaoqiu. Cheng Yaoyao suddenly shouted, "Hey, why don't you move out of the Lin family? Aren't you uncomfortable living with Cheng Nonuo?"

Lin Ranran turned around and said with a smile: "That's my home, and half of the room belongs to me, right?"

Cheng Yaoyao savored the smile and clicked his tongue.

Cheng Nonuo is being hypnotized by a time-traveling girl.

Xie Zhao greeted the people from the fertilizer factory before taking Cheng Yaoyao to the backyard to look after the dogs. Their workers would come to load the goods. Now Xie Zhao no longer had to load and unload the goods himself, getting all dirty. He could wear clean and decent clothes and walk on the street with Cheng Yaoyao without having to worry about other people's eyes.

The female dog was a sturdy black dog, squatting in the den with a bloated belly.

The doorman smiled and said, "It will be half a month before the baby is born. Look at how big her belly is, there must be seven or eight babies this time. We are just worried that we won't be able to send them away."

Cheng Yaoyao took out a piece of dried meat and wanted to feed it but didn't dare to.

The doorman smiled and said, "It's okay. It won't bite anyone when I'm here."

Cheng Yaoyao then held Xie Zhao with one hand and carefully passed the meat to the bitch's mouth with the other hand. The bitch sniffed it, her eyes lit up, and she opened her mouth to grab the meat and swallowed it in a few bites. Cheng Yaoyao took the opportunity to touch the dog's head.

The bitch was sleek and smooth, with a harder texture than a cat's fur, and a pair of ears that stood up majestically. Cheng Yaoyao rubbed it for a long time, and the bitch was good-tempered enough to let her touch it for the sake of the dried meat.

While Xie Zhao was talking to the gatekeeper, she secretly added a lot of spiritual spring water to the food bowl. If the bitch drank the spiritual spring water, the baby she gave birth to might be smarter! It was too late to be stubborn, so Cheng Yaoyao placed her hopes on the second child (puppy).

The doorman promised to leave the healthiest puppy for Cheng Yaoyao, and only then did she reluctantly leave with Xie Zhao.

Xie Zhao went to the black market to look for Monkey, and first sent Cheng Yaoyao to the textile factory to find Xie Fei. Cheng Yaoyao brought some goat milk cakes and pickles to Xie Fei. Last time, Xie Fei said that everyone in her dormitory liked the Korean side dishes made by Grandma Xie, and Grandma Xie specially made a lot of them. Pickles are not worth much, but they can make Xie Fei popular.

Xie Fei heard the announcement from the communication room, and hurriedly exchanged shifts with her co-workers, happily dragging Cheng Yaoyao to visit the supply and marketing cooperative. At noon, Xie Zhao came to meet them, and Xie Fei said generously: "I'll treat you to a meal today!"

The three of them came to the state-owned restaurant, chose a seat by the window, and ordered stir-fried pork with chili peppers, sweet and sour pork ribs, black fungus and Chinese yam slices, a bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup, and three bowls of hot white rice. Xie Fei rushed to pay, and Xie Zhao did not argue with her. He smiled and watched Xie Fei count out the grain coupons and money to pay the bill, with pride all over his face.

There weren't many customers today, so the dishes were served quickly. The sweet and sour spareribs were bright red, sweet and sour, and delicious. The stir-fried pork with chili peppers was the restaurant's signature dish, spicy and tender, and very tasty with rice. The black fungus and Chinese yam slices were refreshing and crisp. After taking a sip of the seaweed egg drop soup, Xie Fei couldn't help but sigh, "It's delicious, much better than our cafeteria."

Cheng Yaoyao smiled and said, "Then you should eat out more often."

"It's very expensive." Xie Fei picked up another piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and calculated seriously: "Next time I go to a restaurant, I have to spend at least 1.5 yuan, which can buy two kilograms of pork ribs!"

Xie Zhao asked, "Isn't there enough money?"

Xie Fei waved her hands hurriedly: "That's enough!"

Xie Fei now earns 18 yuan a month. Most of the young women in their textile factory are single, and their families don't rely on them for support. 18 yuan a month is quite comfortable for them. They can often go to restaurants to improve their lives, and save money to make beautiful clothes for themselves.

But none of them were as well-off as Xie Fei. Xie Fei's family sent her food and snacks every week, Xie Zhao always gave her grain coupons and cloth coupons, and Cheng Yaoyao also had to give her a share when he made new clothes. She had no money to spend.

Xie Fei was not like other girls who loved to spend money. She was deeply impressed by her brother's hard work in earning money to support the family. Every day after work, she would either read in the dormitory or do some needlework, and she was as quiet as an ancient lady from a noble family. She was beautiful but not sociable, and she was also weak. Over time, people who were jealous of her began to make up stories about her landlord family, saying that she had new clothes every day and that she was exploiting the hard-earned money of the working people.

Fortunately, Xie Zhao managed things well and Xie Fei's roommates were protecting her, so Xie Fei didn't suffer any major grievances. She is a considerate and sensible girl, and these words have not been revealed to her family at all. She only reports good things but not bad things.

Xie Fei then started talking about the happy things that happened in the factory. She worked quickly and well, and the workshop manager rewarded her with a teacup with the words "Glory to Labor" printed on it yesterday.

Cheng Yaoyao was also happy for her: "It seems that your workshop director is very discerning! You have been learning needlework since childhood, so you will definitely be able to become a team leader soon!"

Xie Fei waved her hands repeatedly: "I can't be a team leader. Some older workers are unruly and our team leader has been made to cry several times. And I don't want to stay in the textile workshop forever. Actually...actually I like the garment factory more."

Xie Fei has always liked making clothes and has a talent for it, so it's not surprising that she would say this about Cheng Yaoyao.

Xie Zhao never interfered with his sister's preferences, but just said: "The environment in the garment factory is too messy."

Xie Fei immediately showed a look of disappointment.

Cheng Yaoyao comforted her, "It's not that your brother doesn't want you to go. But a garment factory is different from a textile factory. The environment is mixed. Besides, you just like making clothes, right?"

Xie Fei raised her eyes, looked at Cheng Yaoyao, and nodded.

Cheng Yaoyao continued, "The styles of clothes in a garment factory are all the same and they don't look good. If you go to a garment factory, you may be asked to be a designer, but you will just make the same clothes according to the drawings on the assembly line."

Xie Fei hadn't expected this and let out a disappointed "ah".

Xie Zhao said, "Since you like making clothes, I will buy you a sewing machine so you can make them at home."

Cheng Yaoyao shook his fingers: "Not only that. Xiao Fei, if you really like making clothes, you should start with art. Fashion design requires not only talent, but also aesthetics, and the understanding of color matching and painting skills. Xie Zhao, find her some books on art and sewing."

Xie Zhao naturally agreed.

Xie Fei never thought that her older brothers and sisters would start making arrangements for her just because she mentioned that she wanted to make clothes. She immediately became more serious: "I will definitely study hard! Oh, what time is it?"

Xie Zhao looked at his watch: "Half past one."

"Oh no! A leader is coming from Shanghai to visit today, we have to go and welcome him!" Xie Fei picked up her things and said hurriedly, "I'm leaving first!"
