Chapter 173 Someone is peeking around
Sanya squatted on the ground, tilted her head, and spoke to it in a cute way, "Lucky Cat, from now on I'm your big sister Sanya, don't be afraid of me. How about this, I'll pet you now, don't be fierce to me, okay? I promise I'll be very, very gentle."
After saying that, the little girl nervously reached out her slightly trembling hand and touched Zhaocai's head.
It really did happen in a flash, and it was quickly withdrawn.
Then, she happily said to Shuyu, "Second sister, second sister, Zhaocai likes me very much."
Shu Yu, “…” Where did you get that from?
Big Tiger was itching to pet it, so he copied her and reached out to touch Zhao Cai. But Zhao Cai suddenly became impatient and meowed at him fiercely.
Da Hu immediately stood up, pursing his lips and looking somewhat aggrieved.
Sanya immediately comforted him, "Brother, don't cry. Maybe, maybe Zhaocai is a girl, so it likes me more. Or maybe you didn't talk to it before you touched it, so it thought you were going to hit it."
"I didn't cry." Da Hu said with a straight face and great determination, "Actually, I also think that boys shouldn't play with female cats. In the future, I will only pet big and strong dogs."
Shu Yu sighed, "Sorry, Zhao Cai is a male cat. And who told you that a tall, imposing dog is necessarily male?"
But Sanya looked at Dahu with great admiration, "Brother is so amazing."
Big Tiger stood tall and proud, then stood behind Sanya, watching her play with Zhaocai, occasionally reminding her not to get scratched. The disappointment on his face was utterly obvious.
The old lady laughed and whispered to Shu Yu, "This kid has always been stubborn."
They don't say anything when they're wronged, they don't say anything when they fall, and they certainly don't say anything when they're bullied. Such a tiny little person, yet they always think they're adults, never knowing how to act cute, and never saying what they want or dislike.
But he will protect Sanya, help take care of Lu Erbai, and help the old lady and Ruan Shi with their chores.
The old lady thought about it for a while, then sighed, "Let them play, we'll go about our business."
Shu Yu nodded, no longer paying attention to the three cubs, and arranged the dressed mannequins.
A short while later, Daya returned, carrying two potted plants inside. The plants didn't have pots; they were just wrapped with hemp rope, holding up clods of soil. Even so, they were quite heavy.
Wei Lan didn't come with her; something suddenly came up at her home, and her brother called her back.
Da Niu quickly came out to greet her and asked, "What's this?"
Daya said, "The old lady selling flowers said this is called a money tree, and it symbolizes good fortune. I thought it had a good meaning, so I bought it."
With a money tree and a lucky cat, their shop is sure to be packed with customers.
Da Ya bought two, and she plans to transplant the rest of the potted plants herself when she goes into the mountains another day.
"Brother Da Niu, I saw two ceramic pots in the backyard. Bring them over and let's plant them first."
“Okay.” Da Niu ran to the backyard and indeed brought out two flowerpots. These were left over from the Yu family before; since the flowerpots weren’t broken, they hadn’t thrown them away.
Shu Yu placed the money tree on the counter and the lucky charm on the shelf, instantly making the shop feel warm and inviting.
She was just about to say that the two potted plants were a good choice when she saw a familiar figure peeking in from outside the door.
Shu Yu paused for a moment, then got up and walked towards the door.
