Chapter 157 Rocking Kitten Bed
To go with the meal, heat up the lunch.
A mouthful of rice and a chopstick of water celery fried with bacon made Lin Xiaotong almost dizzy with the aroma.
Xie Xiaoju in the corner was also eating his dinner contentedly. It was a small fish, and the cat's whiskers were stained with soup.
After eating and drinking, Xie Da Jiao listened to the radio and started assembling the crib.
This time, we still used the mortise and tenon structure, a simple log bed, the wood was found at a scrap yard.
The size is specially made a little bigger so that the little one can sleep in it even after he gets fatter.
Lin Xiaotong watched Xie Da Jiao hammering away. After Gao Xiulan finished, she leaned back in the recliner to relax her waist.
"Old Xie, please go slower this time. Don't make the mistake again."
"That won't happen. This time it's definitely correct. I measured it carefully three times."
As Xie Da Jiao spoke, he looked up at his masterpiece, the photo frame hanging on the wall.
Gao Xiulan was almost asleep lying on the recliner when Xie Da Jiao finally finished.
"Look, this little bed is well made."
"Xiaoju, go up and try it out. This will be your new nest from now on."
Gao Xiulan looked at the small bed on the ground with sleepy eyes. The size seemed to be just right.
Xie Xiaoju was lying on Lin Xiaotong's shoes, biting his tail to amuse himself, when he was suddenly pulled onto the crib.
The cat was a little dazed and meowed a few times.
Maybe because he had arrived in a new place, Xie Xiaoju sat on the small bed, not daring to move.
Lin Xiaotong amusedly flicked her ears twice before Xie Xiaoju dared to lie down.
Perhaps because she felt the bed was comfortable, she relaxed her guard.
This bed was a truly luxurious big bed for her small body, and she rolled around on it happily.
Unexpectedly, I slipped off the bed without noticing, with my head on the ground and my butt sticking up.
Meow meow meow, I’m really questioning my life as a cat.
The big round eyes stared at Lin Xiaotong blankly, and tears of grievance shed a soft meow.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaotong and Gao Xiulan looked at Xie Dajiao at the same time.
"No, isn't this bed very stable?"
Xie Da Jiao anxiously pressed the bed board with his hand, but unexpectedly there was a problem. The bedposts on both sides were not the same height.
"That's unlikely. I took the exact same size."
Xie Da Jiao touched his head, puzzled. He immediately picked up the measuring tape on the ground and opened it to take a look.
My goodness, the tape measure may have been used for a long time, and the scale line becomes loose when it is pulled out.
"No wonder I was saying that the measurements I took were always different?"
Xie Da Jiao was very confident in this work. After assembly, he even added a few thin sticks to the joints to seal them.
It is also very troublesome to dismantle it now.
Perhaps Xie Xiaoju felt that he was fine again, so he gently touched the small wooden bed with his paws a few times and climbed onto the bed again.
It may be that the size error of the bed legs is not particularly large, so as long as you don’t exercise vigorously, you can still barely maintain balance.
When Xiaoju is naughty, he rolls around on the bed, and the balance of the small wooden bed will be destroyed.
It quickly became a wobbly kitten bed, and a little cute.
Perhaps Xie Xiaoju fell in love with this feeling of uncertainty, and fell asleep comfortably in his new nest.
Xie Da Jiao was happy again, and the whole family got up and went back to the house to sleep.
…
The next day, Lin Xiaotong got up early and rode her bike to the staff quarters on her way to work. She told her aunt Jing Qian that she would come to the compound for lunch at noon.
"Okay, I'll take Doudou over at noon. Your uncle is still working overtime, so I won't bring him this time."
After that, she rode her bike back to the department store to work.
The worker felt sleepy early in the morning. His eyelids were completely out of control and his head was getting more and more sleepy.
After seeing off a group of guests, he yawned and took out a small box of cooling oil from the drawer.
Dragon Tiger Brand Cooling Oil
Although it is just a flat iron box, it is indeed cheap and easy to use.
Take a little on your little finger and rub it on both sides of the temples. Soon a cool feeling will rush from the top of your head to the tip of your nose.
The sleepiness was temporarily dispelled and the brain became clear again.
He stopped sitting and stood up, clenching his fists and gently pounding his shoulders and waist.
"My feet hurt from standing all day, and my back aches from sitting."
He Cuicui, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore. With the arrival of spring, the wind was so warm that she had no intention of working at all.
After complaining, I borrowed some cooling oil from Lin Xiaotong, applied it on my temples and behind my ears.
"Hey, Sister Cuicui, how's your blind date going?"
Lin Xiaotong pinched her arm and started a conversation casually.
"I haven't gone yet. My aunt was sick last week, so I was basically at home. How could I have time to go on a blind date?"
"Now that I'm well again, I guess I'll go see him this week."
He Cuicui stretched lazily, supported her cheek with her hand, turned around and asked Lin Xiaotong.
"Your man is not at home, aren't you bored at home alone?"
"I'm not bored at home. Oh, and I recently got a cat."
Lin Xiaotong really felt that her little life was quite comfortable, and she had plenty of time to herself after get off work.
Play with cats, read books, chat, write letters, and feel comfortable everywhere.
"Raise a cat? What kind of cat? I have one at home too."
Yan Yue came over. She was about to have good things happen to her recently and always had a smile on her face.
"You don't have children yet. Once you have children, it won't be easy."
Sister Mei came back with water and heard them talking about this.
"But your mother-in-law is capable and straightforward, and there's nothing dirty going on at home, so life is much better."
"You don't know that there was a young girl in my area who was very pretty when she was a girl."
"After I got married and had a baby, I couldn't eat or sleep well every day, and my husband didn't help me. I lost 20 pounds in my life."
"I had to work even before I was out of confinement, and my mother-in-law was always finding fault with me because she gave birth to three girls in a row."
"This girl is also our own child. I didn't expect her mother-in-law to be so cruel and secretly gave away all three daughters while her daughter-in-law was away."
"After she came back, her mother-in-law refused to tell her where she had sent him. She just told the couple to have another child. Guess what happened in the end?"
"The woman completely broke down and ran to her parents' graves in her mother's family and cried."
"Finally, she bought a packet of rat poison and put it in the food. The whole family, including her, was poisoned to death."
After hearing this, Lin Xiaotong and the other two widened their eyes in disbelief.
Sister Mei sighed and continued, "This incident caused a huge uproar at the time. It was a huge uproar, with several versions of the story circulating. After that, mothers-in-law in our area rarely dared to criticize their daughters-in-law."
She still feels scared when she talks about it now. Some people say that the young wife was too cruel.
But why would people want to die together unless they are forced into a desperate situation?
"Cui Cui, when you find a partner next time, you must find out what kind of person his mother is."
"Some people appear kind on the surface, but they are actually vicious at heart."
He Cuicui nodded honestly.
…
When I got home at noon, I heard the sound of children playing in the yard.
"Wow, you guys are so lucky! Even little kids get to see so many fun things."
As soon as she heard it, she knew it was Doudou's voice.
