Chapter 402: No Accidents (Page 1/2)
Huo Qingci knew that Lin Man loved cleanliness and didn't like keeping cats and dogs. It was indeed a bit too many to keep two cats. If possible, he could send the female cat away and leave the male cat at home to catch mice.
If we send them all away, Ningning might be unhappy, and it wouldn't be good if Manman's friend found out.
"Manman, I'll put the bicycle, the two kittens, and the parrot into the space and take them out when I get back. Qingyan won't be home for the next two days anyway."
Lin Man asked, "Has your brother returned to live there?"
"Well, he was afraid that the Ye family would cause trouble for my parents, so he went back to support them. That stupid boy wanted to fight with them."
"The Ye family is here to make trouble, your sister-in-law is not here, right?"
"She's gone back to her parents' home. She probably won't be back until her due date is approaching."
Lin Man was a little envious of Song Jingjing. After getting married, she could still go back to her parents' home, and her parents were really good to her. They came to see her every now and then and brought her food and clothes.
Huo Qingci took Lin Man and the child home, and while there was no one else at home, he quickly took out the bicycle and cat.
In order to feed these two cats, Lin Man specially baked thirty kilograms of dried fish in the oven.
Lin Man put ten pounds of dried fish into the kitchen and handed ten pounds of millet to Huo Qingci. Because the parrot was not taken out, they planned to keep the parrot in the space.
The house here in the army is small, and there is no place to hang a birdcage, so I'd better keep it in the space.
Huo Yian's mind was now completely focused on the two cats, and he temporarily forgot about the parrot. Lin Man did not remind him.
She is now busy making a bed for the cats to prevent them from running into the room and jumping on the bed to sleep with people.
When Huo Li came back, he saw two kittens suddenly appeared in the house. He asked Huo Qingci, "What's going on? Why do we suddenly have two more cats in our house?"
Before Huo Qingci could explain, Huo Yining ran up to Huo Li with a smug look on his face and said excitedly, "Grandpa, these are the kittens of my godmother's cat. My godmother gave one each to my brother and me."
Huo Li is old and prone to insomnia. He can't stand the sound of cats meowing in the middle of the night. He originally wanted to let his eldest grandson send the cats away, but when he saw that these two cats were gifts from Old Man Zhou's grandson's wife to his great-grandson, he reluctantly decided to keep one.
He gently touched Huo Yining's little head and discussed with her, "An An, our yard is small. We can only keep one of these two cats and give the other one to someone in need, right?"
"Grandpa, my brother and I can each have one of these two cats. Can't we keep them all?"
Huo Li signaled Huo Qingci to come and persuade them. Huo Qingci originally planned to keep only one and give the other to a colleague.
My colleague's wife and children all live in the countryside. There is a grain storage cabinet in their home and there are many mice. They really need a cat to catch mice.
So Huo Qingci said, "An An, most people only keep one cat at home. If they keep two, they will fight over food, so why don't we give one away?"
Seeing that both his grandfather and father wanted to keep only one cat, Huo Yining knew that his objection was useless, so he said, "Then send my male cat away and leave the female cat, Godmother, to my brother."
The corners of Huo Qingci's mouth twitched. The reason he didn't want to keep two cats was that he was worried that the female cat would go into heat and give birth to litters one after another.
He wanted to send the female cat away, but this kid wanted to keep the female cat. It was impossible, absolutely impossible.
Huo Qingci smiled awkwardly, "I can't tell which is the male cat and which is the female cat, so I'll just send one away when the time comes!"
"Dad, I know her. The one with more patterns is a female cat..."
Lin Man pursed her lips and smiled, "Qingci, you've been careless. Ningning is quite a smart kid."
Huo Yining grinned. That's right, Brother Zhou Zhou said that female cats can give birth to kittens. Even if there is no male cat at home, female cats can still give birth to kittens.

Because as long as the female cat calls, the male cat outside will come to the house to find it. Cats are very good at jumping high. They can not only jump over the wall, but also jump onto the roof.
Huo Yining had a beautiful thought. When he woke up the next day, he found that there was only one kitten in the cat's nest. His brother's little female cat was gone, and there was only his little male cat.
He ran to the backyard to find Lin Man, "Mom, where's the little female cat?"
"The little female cat is at home?" Lin Man lied with her eyes open.
"Mom, no, that's just a male cat at home."
"Is that so? Your dad got up too early, and his eyes might be covered with mucus. He must have picked it up by mistake!"
"Wow, why is Daddy like this? I hate him. Daddy gave the female cat away. We will only have one cat in our family from now on. Male cats can't give birth to kittens."
"Ningning, one cat is enough for our family. If we have too many kittens, your grandfather won't be able to sleep at night."
Fortunately, the kitten is still small and its meows are very soft, so it won’t affect grandpa’s sleep.
Huo Yining was crying and blew a bubble of snot from his nose. Lin Man quickly took a handkerchief to wipe it clean for him.
After wiping, Lin Man said, "Ningning, your dad said he'd buy some meat today, and mom would make you dumplings tomorrow. Didn't you say you haven't had dumplings in a while?"
"Mom, are you really going to make dumplings for me? Since Dad said he would buy some meat to make dumplings, I'll forgive him."
Lin Man knew that the best way to coax her son was to make the food he always wanted to eat.
Since she was going to make dumplings, Lin Man planned to make a few more and freeze them. Huo Qingci didn't have that many meat tickets, so she might as well let him slaughter a pig tonight.
It just so happens that this weather is perfect for making bacon, so I can can some sausages and blood sausage, and make more jar meat.
When Huo Qingci came back that night, Lin Man secretly told him, "Qingci, your son found out you took the cat away. I promised to make dumplings for him tomorrow, so he didn't make a fuss."
"I only bought a pound of meat and a pig's liver today. Ningning wants to eat dumplings, so I'll go to the cafeteria and get him some tomorrow."
"Qingci, we haven't slaughtered a pig for a long time. Let's kill a pig in advance. I want to make two more jars of meat, one spicy and one non-spicy."
The jar meat at home has been finished, so I really need to make some more so that when guests come to my house in the future, I don’t have to worry about not having meat dishes to entertain them.
"Okay, I'll kill the pig during my lunch break tomorrow. I need to go to bed early tonight because I have to perform surgery on a patient early tomorrow morning."
"You perform several surgeries every month. How come your director arranges so many surgeries for you?"
Huo Qingci said proudly, "That's because I have zero accidents during my surgeries. The patients I operate on not only have small wounds, but also recover quickly. I also have a very good reputation, and many patients actively ask me to operate on them."
"At this rate, won't you be promoted to deputy director soon?"
Huo Qingci nodded and said, "I'm on the reserve list, and there's a doctor older than me who's my competitor.
His skills aren't as good as mine, but he has more experience than me, and he's been working in this hospital since the beginning."
"and you…"
"Manman, don't worry. If nothing unexpected happens, there's a 70% chance that the deputy director position will be mine."
"Nothing unexpected happened. What if something unexpected happened? By the way, Qingci, your son said that the nurse in your hospital likes you, and she also wants to be Ningning's mother."
"What? Who are you talking about?"
"Niuniu's aunt, Ningning saw her talking to you..."
