Chapter 153 You said Afu is the father? Why aren't there any cubs...?
"Come here."
An Fusheng reached out his hand to Afu.
Afu hesitated for a moment and then walked over to Anfusheng.
An Fusheng picked it up and stroked its ruffled fur. "One, two, three, four, five, six, still don't want to play with you, huh? Well, you can't steal other people's kittens! What if the mother cat can't find her kittens? Hmm? Huh? Go and return them to their owner, okay?"
Afu blinked its round blue eyes a few times and meowed.
An Fusheng: "If they don't like playing with you, then don't play with them. Isn't it fun playing with Wen Xingrui and the others? They even take you to the slide."
Afu: "Meow~"
An Fusheng: "You child!"
Several kittens were nibbling at An Fusheng's trouser legs from below.
An Fusheng: "They are hungry, they want to drink milk."
Afu struggled off An Fusheng and walked out of An Fusheng's room without looking back.
But it came back a little while later, bringing back a few small fish-shaped cat biscuits.
The biscuits were made by An Fusheng, using chicken breast, salmon, cat grass powder, and oat flour. The ingredients were clean, but the biscuits were baked dry and had a certain hardness, so the kitten couldn't eat them at all.
The cookies were nibbled on for a long time without any damage.
Afu looked at Anfusheng with a puzzled expression.
An Fusheng: "They don't have teeth yet, so they can only drink milk."
Afu hadn't drunk milk in a long time; his memory of it had been automatically erased. He looked to Anfusheng for help.
An Fusheng: "Look, I'm useless too, I don't have any either. Only their mother has some. You have to send them back."
Afu paused for a moment, then slowly moved forward and picked up a small black cat that was struggling with a cat biscuit.
An Fusheng picked up the other three and followed behind.
Then An Fusheng was shocked to discover that the mother cat was actually Er Er!
Afu and Anfusheng were scolded by Er'er when they brought the kitten over.
If a son is not taught properly, it is the father's fault. An Fusheng knew he was in the wrong and sincerely apologized to Er'er: "I'm sorry."
The kittens ran happily to nurse when they saw their mother.
"Congratulations on becoming a mother," An Fusheng said again in a flattering tone.
Er Er turned her head around impatiently.
An Fusheng, realizing he'd made a fool of himself, patted Afu, who was intently watching the kitten nurse, and said, "Let's go back."
Afu was focused on watching the kittens and completely ignored Anfusheng.
An Fusheng sighed. Afu was still too lonely.
...
Three days later.
"What?" An Fusheng almost couldn't hold back. "You're saying Afu is Dad?"
Ji Qingqing: "Yes."
An Fusheng: "..."
"Then...why aren't any of the cubs white-furred?"
The four kittens rolling around on the ground were a grayish-blue cat, an orange cat with no markings (I don't know if it can be considered an orange cat), a little black cat, and a calico cat with some white markings...
Ji Qingqing: "They don't look like their mother either, which is normal. You can learn about the law of segregation."
That's right, Er'er is a colorful raccoon dog.
This is such an absurd division; the whole family is completely different.
If this continues, will we end up with every breed of cat in our house?
No! That's not the point!
The key point is...
An Fusheng pointed a trembling finger at Afu: "Is it an adult yet, and it's already acting as a father?"
Ji Qingqing: "It's almost a year old, it's already an adult, and you're not going to get it spayed or neutered. Isn't it normal for it to be a father?"
“I…” An Fusheng was speechless. The veterinarian had reminded him to have Afu neutered, but he had forgotten in his busy schedule.
"Don't they all dislike playing with Afu? How come they can have offspring together?" Anfusheng was clearly unsure of himself. Could it be that Afu forced himself on them? No wonder Er'er was so fierce to them.
That unfilial son!
"It must be because they dressed Ah Fu up so extravagantly last time that Er Er was momentarily fooled," Wen Yue said.
“When did this happen? How come I didn’t know?” An Fusheng felt a deep sense of helplessness, as if parents were too busy and neglected their children’s entire growth period.
Wen Yue thought for a moment, "More than two months ago, Teacher Shen came to the welfare home. After Xingmou found out that Teacher Shen was a doctor, she dragged Afu to see Teacher Shen for a checkup, saying that Afu was unhappy every day and must be sick. After examining Afu, Teacher Shen said that Afu was not sick and that his unhappiness was probably due to low self-esteem."
"Inferiority complex? It has so many snacks to eat every day, Miaomiao made it a lot of cool little clothes, and everyone is eager to play with it. Fourteen takes it for a drive in his Mercedes every day, and Xiaoba takes it with him when he goes to play on the slide. What is there for it to be inferior about?" An Fusheng asked.
"Teacher Shen said that Afu is a white cat, and in the cats' aesthetic sense, white cats are the least attractive. In addition, no one plays with it, so it must be insecure."
There are cats with such aesthetic tastes! No wonder One Two Three Four Five Six has been at the orphanage for so long and has gradually become familiar with people, but still doesn't play with Afu. "Then how come it's with Two Two?"
They wouldn't actually use force, would they?
"Xingmou, Shisi, Lin Wuyang and the others used watercolor paint to color Afu's whole body. And sure enough, one, two, three, four, five, six all gathered around at once. Afu is so kind."
An Fusheng imagined Afu's fur being dyed all sorts of colors, a complete mess, and then all the cats that never paid any attention to it would gather around, with one of them even falling deeply in love with it. It felt so surreal.
Shamate! Yellow hair!
“Afu sleeps in my room every day, but I’ve never seen its fur have any color?”
"Didn't you and Aunt Wen go on a business trip before?"
Director Zhang asked An Fusheng to revise the details of the plan. An Fusheng's revisions were not satisfactory to him, so Director Zhang took An Fusheng and Wen Min to conduct research at an old-established restaurant in another province. The current owner of that restaurant was a childhood friend of Director Zhang's wife, which is why they had the opportunity to conduct research.
"We took Afu to the pet store to get the color removed before you came back. Actually, it wasn't completely clean. It was just that it was so happy that it rolled around everywhere and got its fur dirty, so you didn't notice."
"Okay." An Fusheng's feelings were complicated. "After washing it clean, did the bond between Er'er and it break down again?"
Wen Yue: "I don't know."
If there's anything else you don't know, just look at Er'er's disgusted look towards Afu, that's definitely it.
An Fusheng felt like a weary old father, worried that his son would make mistakes and be disliked. "I'll take Afu to get sterilized tomorrow."
Ji Qingqing: "He just became a father, and you've already cut off his testicles. That's not a good idea."
An Fusheng: "Then let's do it together the day after tomorrow, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday."
The kittens are all grown up, especially the females. Without Afu, there are other male cats. If a few more litters happen, he really can't afford to raise them.
...
However, Afu couldn't go the day after tomorrow because it had to take care of the kittens.
Er'er didn't give Afu a friendly look, but she took care of Afu's child.
It has to be said that Afu is very responsible. Apart from not being able to feed the kittens, it takes care of everything else. It plays with the kittens every day. When the kittens are sleeping, it goes to the side to watch over them. When it hears a kitten meowing, it immediately goes over to lick the kitten. Wherever it wants to go, it will always carry the kittens with it.
Occasionally, Afu would get lazy. For example, Anfusheng bought a lot of toys for the kittens, and the kittens would play without getting tired. When Afu got tired of playing with them, he would push them, along with the toys, to Anfusheng and ask him to take care of them for a while.
An Fusheng finally understood why Afu was so disheveled the day he brought the kitten to him; it was probably because he was exhausted from taking care of the kitten.
Taking care of a child is tiring enough, but on top of that, my wife complains about me.
An Fusheng felt great sympathy for Afu.
But he also has to get up every night to make formula for the kittens, and he feels so tired...
"Son, let's not have any more children after this one."
Afu meowed.
Two months later, An Fusheng took Afu to get sterilized.
Afu was taken to the pet hospital by Anfusheng in a daze, and was put on the operating table in a daze. When the doctor's scalpel was placed on its testicles, it finally realized that something was wrong and suddenly cried out very pitifully.
The doctor asked, "You're screaming so pitifully, do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?"
That hit the nail on the head.
An Fusheng nodded, feeling like a wicked stepfather at that moment.
...
In July, with the hotel's hard decorations almost complete, An Fusheng began working on the soft decorations.
After graduating, Xu Sannian went on a trip, and as soon as he returned, An Fusheng dragged him away.
"Niannian, you haven't found a job yet, have you? How about coming to work at Little Star?"
Xu Sannian: "Is working absolutely necessary?"
An Fusheng: "Yes, aren't you worried about not having a job? Aren't your parents urging you?"
Xu Sannian: "No."
An Fusheng: "..."
"So, do you want to work at Little Star? I'll make you the general manager." An Fusheng tried a different approach to entice you. "Being the general manager right after graduation would be very prestigious, wouldn't it?"
Xu Sannian: "Those people who work in sales are all managers, but they don't seem to have much prestige."
An Fusheng, who was just about to put Xu Sannian in charge of sales: "..."
However, Xu Sannian eventually joined Xiaoxingchen because An Fusheng relentlessly pursued her, using delicious food as bait and bringing a different cat to entice her every day.
When the main building of the restaurant was under construction, An Fusheng was just a chef. Apart from cooking, there was nothing else for him to worry about. But after registering Little Star Canteen, An Fusheng became the boss, and he had to take care of everything from the kitchen to the construction of the restaurant.
A few months ago, when the restaurant was being renovated, An Fusheng was worried about the area design, the water and electricity, and the practicality, aesthetics, and price of various decoration materials. An Fusheng thought that once the hard decoration was done, the soft decoration would be much easier. Who knew that the soft decoration was no simpler than the hard decoration.
When buying furniture, appliances, lamps, decorative paintings, kitchenware, etc., you need to do enough research and understanding to avoid falling into traps. An Fusheng really hates that every industry is full of traps. He is determined once again to be honest and never cheat customers when running a restaurant in the future.
The restaurant's decor leans towards an antique style. An Fusheng chose a solid wood eight-immortal table and long benches for the dining table, which are very similar to the tables and chairs he used to use for banquets in the village.
An Fusheng has a special fondness for banquets. In the past, when his village held banquets, they would invite the best cooks in the village to be the chefs, so every dish on the table was especially delicious. Everyone was in high spirits when the host had something good to do, and the meal was always lively and cheerful. For An Fusheng, those were very fond memories. An Fusheng hopes that in the future, diners who come to Xiaoxingchen Canteen can also take away such a wonderful memory.
Once the tables and chairs are chosen, the next step is lighting.
An Fusheng visited the lighting market several times. There were many beautiful lamps, but they were also very expensive. Moreover, the high price was mainly due to the external lighting fixtures, while the bulbs inside were all pretty much the same. An Fusheng felt that it wasn't worth it.

Author's Note: I've been writing this chapter since 7:30 this morning, and it doesn't contain any particularly complex content. I don't know why it's taken so long...
I'll post one chapter now, then I'll post another one when I get back from working overtime tonight. Most of my work time is spent in meetings, so I leave all my work for the evenings and weekends. Things have been really tough lately. On my way home from work, I was driving and accidentally scraped my car against the round pillar where the security guard stands at the gate. Two sides of the paint were scratched off, which was embarrassing. Then, while shopping at the supermarket, I got a nail stuck in one of my tires. Another day, I came home late from overtime and someone had parked in my spot. Not wanting to disturb them, I just parked anywhere. I was too tired to remember the location, and the next morning I spent ages looking for my car in the garage before leaving for work, and I was late... Also, I bought a robot vacuum cleaner during the 618 sale, and it's been over ten days and I still haven't had time to unpack it. I'm just praying it's good...
