Chapter 349:
The Cat Seller was carrying a cat in a dustpan. Ruan Jiaojiao could hear the cat’s meow from a distance. She followed the sound and saw a litter of kittens. There were four or five of them, but only one was a ginger cat. The others were all black cats.
The cat owner saw her approaching and saw that she was pretty and well-dressed. He knew immediately that business had come and he tried his best to sell his cats: “Do kids like cats too? Look at this one. It’s so pretty and strong. It must be easy to raise.”
The cat owner held up the largest black cat in the litter, but Ruan Jiaojiao’s eyes were on the ginger cat.
“This one.” Xu Xu pointed at the ginger cat.
"We want this one." The cat owner was a little surprised. Shouldn't they choose the biggest and best one? Why did the two children choose the smallest one?
"How about you buy this one and I'll give you this one." The cat owner was a kind person. He didn't want to take advantage of others. He felt that it was immoral to sell a skinny, even pitiful, kitten to others, so he took the initiative to say.
"No, we want this one." Ruan Jiaojiao said, already holding up the little orange cat.
The little orange kitten was really small, only slightly bigger than her little hand. It was probably still drinking milk. Feeling that its body was empty, it tried to open its eyes and look around. When it saw Ruan Jiaojiao, its eyes widened a little. It struggled in her hands with its limbs. After Ruan Jiaojiao held it up with both hands, it leaned forward to lick her little hand, very affectionately.
Ruan Lin, who followed behind, saw it and said with a smile, "Jiaojiao is loved by these little guys. Look at this kitten, they like Jiaojiao so much."
She turned around and asked the cat's owner, "How much is this?"
Seeing the child, the adults came, and the cat's owner became even more nervous: "Auntie, this kitten may not survive. Why don't you pick another one? Look at this one, it's big and fat, and it will definitely be a good mouse catcher when it grows up!"
"No, grandma, I want this one." Ruan Jiaojiao was very persistent and held the kitten in her arms.
"Okay, then I'll take this one." The cat owner turned to look at the cat's owner: "It's okay, I can raise it. I have goat milk at home. I can tell at a glance that your cat is skinny because it failed to win the food. I guarantee that it will be kept honest and simple in my house." "
In that case, then okay." Seeing that the other party insisted on taking that one, the cat's owner didn't say anything. Originally, the cat was going to be sold for fifty cents, but Ruan Lin only took three cents from it.
"Don't we have Rourou at home?" Ruan Jie poked the kitten curiously, and was actually snorted by the kitten. He was immediately dissatisfied and asked with his eyes wide open: "Why is it snorting at me and not you!"
Ruan Jiaojiao smiled: "Because I am her owner, not you. This is the little wife I gave to Rourou. They can be companions in the future."
"Can a wolf and a cat be companions?" Ruan Jie expressed doubts. Although the wolf in their family is more lackey than a dog, it is still a wolf.
"Yes." Xu Xu next to him answered firmly.
Now it was Ruan Jiaojiao's turn to look at him in surprise. After all... she didn't have any companionship with the wolf in her previous life.
"What's its name?" Ruan Jie asked again.
Ruan Jiaojiao thought for a while, then looked into the blue eyes of the kitten and said, "Let's call it Sanmao."
"..." Ruan Jie, if he didn't know that the cat was bought for three cents, so he named it Sanmao, he would have suspected that his sister had read the Adventures of Sanmao!
"Okay, a bad name is easier to raise." Ruan Lin agreed. This is popular in the countryside. When a child is difficult to raise, they also give him a bad name, saying that it is easier to raise him.
