Chapter 125: Nian Nian Spends a Thousand Golds
Nian Nian, who was in the sensational atmosphere, was completely unaware of their emotional ups and downs.
After Cheng Huili gave him a small fish-shaped gold locket as a New Year's gift, he pulled Jiang Duan's hand and said expectantly, "Brother Duan, this is a gift from Nian Nian."
The faint smile on Jiang Duan's face had not yet disappeared. He gently grasped Nian Nian's hand and led her towards the French window: "Follow me."
Nian Nian was held by his hand and followed him step by step.
Since the winter vacation, the weather has been cold and the company has a lot of backlog work at the end of the year. Shi Guilin is so busy that he has not brought Nian Nian to Jiang's house to visit Jiang Duan for a while.
Therefore, Nian Nian, who felt a little unfamiliar with the Jiang family, walked beside Jiang Duan without paying attention to the road, looking left and right at the extra decorations.
Occasionally, three or two orange cats would nimbly jump onto the tea cabinet against the wall with their cat steps.
It was Juzi's child, and now he was much older. Although Nian Nian hadn't been to the Jiang family for a while, they kept in touch on WeChat every day.
Most of the conversation topics and content were initiated and expanded by Nian Nian. Jiang Duan spoke little and often just listened silently, occasionally saying "hmm" at the right time to show that he was taking the conversation seriously.
There was really nothing to talk about, and Jiang Duan didn't want to hang up the phone, so he asked Nian Nian if she wanted to see the cat.
Nian Nian never refuses anyone. After they agree, they will look at the kitten for a while before hanging up the video.
Because of this, Nian Nian did not miss the growth trajectory and changes of the orange cat.
But when she visited today, she really noticed something different.
"Brother, what's that red string around the kitten's neck?" Nian Nian touched the small gold fish Cheng Huili had given her around her neck. "Is it the same as the one my godmother wears?"
Jiang Duan paused slightly, then turned around and led people to see the cat.
They walked over to one of the orange cats that was dozing lazily on the carpet and squatted down. Jiang Duan reached out and pulled out the red rope as thick as a little finger from the cat's furry neck. The ornament hanging on it swayed in front of the two of them.
"Wow." Nian Nian was surprised and touched the square plate that fell to the ground with her fingertips. "It's the same color as the one Nian Nian is wearing! Is it also gold?"
He took a closer look and said, "There are words on it, Brother Duan."
"Yes," Jiang Duan said, "My mother and I customized these New Year gifts for the kittens. Each kitten has one, and the words on the tag are their names."
"Oh—" Nian Nian drew out the sound, walked around behind the kitten, and took a closer look. There was a small white heart on its butt. "Nian Nian knows now. The word on the sign just now was 'Xinxin'."
Although she couldn't read, Nian Nian, who knew cats, used reverse thinking to deduce the answer.
Jiang Duan: "Yes."
"Ouch." Nian Nian moved her hand away from the little love heart and slapped her head with a crisp sound.
Jiang Duan pulled his hand down in disagreement, "Headache?"
"No, no," he denied. "Nian Nian forgot to give Maomao a New Year's gift. I only brought yours, Brother Duan."
As he spoke, he reached into his front pocket and fumbled around as usual.
Jiang Duan didn't urge him, but watched him attentively as he rummaged through his pockets clumsily.
"Red panda!" A palm-sized ornament lay in Nian Nian's palm. It was a standing red panda, munching on an apple.
"Papa said there were too few red pandas eating apples, so we could only buy two. Nian Nian took one and gave it to brother Duan, so that we could both have one."
This ornament is a joint model of "Forest Paradise" this year. There are three designs of the red panda character, namely a red panda wearing red clothes eating apples, grapes, and strawberries.
The Red Panda Eating Apple is a limited edition, with only fifty pieces released. It's impossible to snag one; it was already pre-ordered by wealthy individuals the moment it was released. Shi Guilin only managed to get two through connections.
Now one of them was given to Jiang Duan as a New Year's gift by Nian Nian, who was willing to share.
"Thank you, Nian Nian." Jiang Duan took the ornament, looked at it for a while, and then put it in his arms.
As soon as Nian Nian saw his expression, she was sure that Jiang Duan would like this gift. She couldn't help but lift up her invisible tail and shake it proudly.
But his pride didn't last for a few seconds. He held his chin in his hand worriedly: "But what about the kitten's gift? Nian Nian has nothing."
Before Jiang Duan could finish his sentence, "It's okay, they don't need gifts anyway," Nian Nian suddenly said, "No, no, Nian Nian has something!"
"?"
"Niannian is rich." He seemed to remember something and took out a stack of cards from his other pocket. After examining them for a long time, he pulled out one of them.
"Uncle said that the card contains Nian Nian's salary for delivering meals to the company." Nian Nian, like a nouveau riche wearing a thick gold chain in a TV drama, handed it to Xin Xin in front of her with great wealth and grandeur. "Here, it's Nian Nian's money, spend it as you like!"
"You use Nian Nian's salary to buy delicious food, but this is not just for you, the cat. You spend it with Diandian and the others."
Xinxin looked at the card in front of her: "?"
Its pink nose rubbed against the end of the bank card and sniffed it, then it twitched its ears in disinterest and turned its head away.
"Meow——" it let out a long cry.
"You're welcome, meow meow meow." Nian Nian responded positively, "Take it."
Xinxin: “…”
Jiang Duan tried to hold back, but couldn't help himself: "It probably didn't say thank you."
"? No?" Nian Nian was confused. He couldn't think too much. After all, he really had nothing on him except his bank card, and he couldn't conjure anything else out of thin air.
There was no other way, so she could only force the sale. Nian Nian pondered for a moment, then immediately grabbed one of Xinxin's front paws and slapped the bank card against it. "Here you go!"
The bank card slid down Xinxin's instep and fell to the ground. Nian Nian picked it up, observed the cat's paw for a few seconds, pinched the cat's leg, and inserted the bank card into the gap between Xinxin's fingers. "That's it!"
Jiang Duan: “…”
Xinxin stared at her feet in a daze for a few moments, then suddenly kicked her legs hard, threw the bank card between her toes out, turned around and ran away.
"Ah, Xinxin, don't go!" Nian Nian stretched out a hand, trying to call it back.
The monk may escape, but the temple cannot. Even if the cat is gone, its owner remains. Nian Nian sighed loudly and handed the bank card to Jiang Duan: "Brother Duan, hold it for the kittens. Remember to give them flowers."
"..." Jiang Duan said, "Okay, I'll use the money to buy cat food for them."
"Now go and see your presents."
"Okay, okay." Nian Nian stood up and pulled the person away.
Just as he was about to take a step forward, the little guy said, "Nian Nian forgot the box. It's with Papa."
The little guy was always losing things and had accidents. Jiang Duan was used to it. "Go back and get it."
"Yeah, go back quickly."
