Chapter 220 Cat is shocked
Gu Xuelan brought the hot food over, sat down at the table, and said to Liu Wangxue: "Before dinner, Huayu's mother came to me and said that tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are only two of us at home, so she wants us to go to their house for dinner in the evening. It will be more lively with more people."
Pengpeng and Guagua were playing nearby, and Xiaoci was still in Liu Wangxue's arms and refused to get out, so she had no choice but to put the cat on her lap, holding the bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other.
But the cat was not obedient. It stood up from her legs, put its front paws on the edge of the table, stared at her chopsticks with its eyes, and turned its round head around, sometimes trying to reach out with its paws.
Gu Xuelan pulled the plate closer to her, fearing that the cat would grab it.
Liu Wangxue raised the bowl and chopsticks higher, took a mouthful of the food mixed with rice, swallowed it, and asked, "Do you want to go?"
When Tao's mother came to see her, Gu Xuelan did not agree, but she did not refuse on the spot, for fear of offending her kindness. She just said that she didn't know what Liu Wangxue's plans were, and would wait for someone to come back to discuss it.
Since moving here, Gu Xuelan and Tao Ma have been getting along really well, even more comfortably than with her former sisters. The two of them can chat very well, and sometimes Gu Xuelan feels that Tao Ma is her "long-lost" confidant.
But no matter how good the relationship between friends is, they are not a family, Gu Xuelan thought, why would you go to someone else's house for dinner during a major festival?
"Mom," Liu Wangxue deliberately asked her, "Did you think the same way when Wenxi came to our house during the Chinese New Year?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can it be the same?" Gu Xuelan felt uncomfortable when she thought of this. "It's such a sin. Such a good child, but he can't go home..."
Liu Wangxue also sighed in her heart. Her mother was just like that. She was always tolerant and understanding towards others, but when it came to herself, she was easily bound by etiquette and upbringing.
If it were in the past, Liu Wangxue would have thought so too, but now it is different. She just wants to be happy.
Xiao Ci was still staring at Liu Wangxue's chopsticks. A leaf of the vegetable she picked up fell down and was dangling. The cat stretched out its paw to pick it up and opened its mouth.
Liu Wangxue looked at it funny, put it in the bowl, and then picked up another leaf to feed it.
Xiaoci pressed the edge of the table with both paws, stretched his neck, opened his mouth, and finally ate it. But after chewing it twice, he didn't like the taste, so he turned his head and spit it out. Then he jumped down and went to play with Pengpeng Guagua.
Liu Wangxue took a towel, picked up the vegetable leaves that the cat had vomited, wiped the table top, and threw them into the trash can.
She said, "I guess Aunt Yuehua thought the same thing. Dad wasn't home, and it was just the two of us. She was worried that we would have a lonely holiday, so she asked us to go over there. It would be more lively with more people."
"I know she means well and cares about us..." said Gu Xuelan.
"Then what are you worried about?" Liu Wangxue asked, "I think Aunt Yuehua is just like you, both of them like to be lively, so let's go."
She took a bite of the dish and continued, "Tomorrow my brother-in-law will definitely make not only fresh meat mooncakes, but also other delicious food. Oh, I'm drooling just thinking about it."
"What's that like?" Gu Xuelan glared at her and smiled, "Can't you stop your saliva while eating?"
Liu Wangxue took a sip of juice and smiled.
Gu Xuelan suddenly understood: "Why did you buy so many gifts? Did you plan to eat and drink for free?"
They have the closest relationship with the Tao family here, so it is only natural for them to visit each other during the holidays. However, Liu Wangxue actually bought so many gifts that Gu Xuelan was still puzzled.
Liu Wangxue continued to smile: "Just to join in the fun——"
After dinner and a bath, Liu Wangxue boiled a pot of hawthorn and tangerine peel tea and threw a few rock sugars into it. He sat on the sofa with Gu Xuelan, watching the show and drinking slowly.
Come to think of it, it seems like I haven't had tea for a long time. Liu Wangxue held the cup and thought, it's really hard to balance work and life.
Maybe two days of not seeing each other was too long for the three of them. Usually when they watched TV shows, they would lie together, and occasionally when they wanted to eat, they would come over and act coquettishly with Liu Wangxue. Today, since they got on the sofa, they have been sticking to Liu Wangxue.
Pengpeng rested his head on her legs, Xiaoci let her hold him in her arms, and Guagua stood on her shoulders. The three of them seemed to have become her body pendants.
And today, Xiaoci was curious about everything she held. Seeing her sipping tea sip by sip, he also stretched out his paw to touch the cup.
Liu Wangxue thought that Xiaoci was doing the same thing as when she was eating, so she also wanted to try it, so she asked Gu Xuelan to get a disposable spoon from under the coffee table for her, scooped a little from the cup, and fed it to it.
Xiao Ci stuck out her tongue and licked it. Her ears immediately stood up and her emerald green eyes widened. She had an obvious cat-like expression of shock and looked up at Liu Wangxue.
"Mom, look at it," Liu Wangxue was touched by Xiaoci's lively expression, "Is it saying, 'Shit shoveler, you actually drank something so delicious without telling me'?"
Gu Xuelan peeled out two melon seeds and fed them to Guagua, who also couldn't stop smiling after seeing it.
Liu Wangxue rubbed Xiaoci's head, and he lowered his head and drank all the tea in the spoon. Then he looked up at Liu Wangxue and pointed at the cup with his paw, meaning he wanted more.
Liu Wangxue poured it a little more and let it lick it.
The cat is satisfied.
Gu Xuelan suddenly remembered and said, "Look at my brain. Maybe it's because I'm getting old and it's getting worse and worse. I was thinking about asking when we were having dinner, but we ended up chatting about something else and forgot about it."
"What's the matter?" Liu Wangxue asked her.
"Qingsong is going back to Beijing tomorrow," Gu Xuelan said, "I heard him say that his flight was in the morning. I forgot to ask him what time it was. I thought if there was enough time, I would let him have breakfast before leaving."
"Then let me ask." Liu Wangxue bent sideways and took the phone from the other end of the sofa.
Because of the rain last night, the play had to be changed temporarily, and they got home very late after work. She fell asleep while chatting with Xu Qingsong and forgot to ask the time.
When Xiaoci saw Liu Wangxue holding out the phone, she stretched out her paw curiously. Liu Wangxue held the cat with one hand and sent a message to Xu Qingsong with the other.
Willow catkins: [Are you busy? ]
Willow Catkins: [What time is the flight tomorrow? ]
She waited for a while, but there was no reply. She told Gu Xuelan, "I guess he's busy."
Actually, Jingshan Technology started the holiday today. Du Yunkai is a conscientious boss and did not make adjustments. This Mid-Autumn Festival is connected with the National Day, so a total of 11 days of holiday were given to everyone. Those who want to go home can go home, and those who want to travel can travel. No matter which one, they can perfectly miss the peak traffic jams during the holiday.
But it didn't matter to Xu Qingsong whether he had a holiday or not. He and a few "nowhere to go" team members solved a few minor program problems, took a shower, and came out drying his hair. Just as he was about to get a hair dryer, he heard the notification tone of the mobile phone message ring several times in succession.
