Wang Wenxuan held the cat in his arms and gently stroked its back. He felt that its color was beautiful, and the white fur on its belly was soft. This cat was well-raised by the Jiang family and was very humane. No one knew where it came from.
He lowered his head and spoke softly, "Why did you run out alone? Aren't you afraid of being caught and eaten? Don't run so far next time..."
The kitten half-closed its eyes and made a "miao" sound, not knowing whether it was responding or refuting.
Wangjiazhuangzi was only five or six miles away from Jiangjiazhuangzi, and the carriage arrived in a quarter of an hour.
He came down carrying the cat, and the servant went up the hill to knock on the door.
I only heard a young man's nervous voice behind the door, "There's no food here, go somewhere else!"
Obviously, they were as annoying as the Wang family.
Wang Wenxuan spoke in a gentle voice, "I'm from the Wang family, our next-door neighbor. Your cat ran into our house, so I came to return it."
When Zhaocai heard this, he thought of the handsome young man from the Wang family who had come to visit before, and also remembered that the host family did have a cat, so he quickly replied, "Young Master Wang, please wait a moment, I will go and inform my wife."
At this time, Jiang Yue was sitting in front of the kitchen door with a small stool, preparing the ingredients for making kimchi the next day.
"Madam, the young master of the Wang family said that our kitten ran away to his house, and now we need to send the kitten back."
Jiang Yue looked up, "Huh? Jinjin ran off to their house? Why didn't she come back on her own? Why did she need someone to send her back?"
"This..." Zhaocai looked embarrassed and didn't know the situation.
Jiang Yue just said it casually, stood up and wiped his hands, "Anian, I'll go out and take a look."
Jiang Nian had already cooked dinner and walked out of the kitchen. He put his hand on her waist and let her lean on him, "I'll go out with you."
Jiang Yue knew that he was going on a long journey soon, and now he was very clingy and refused to leave her side, so she just let him do what he wanted.
Walking out of the courtyard gate, Jiang Yue smiled and apologized to Wang Wenxuan, "Because there were so many people harassing us recently, we were all a little nervous and neglected Young Master Wang. Please don't mind."
Wang Wenxuan expressed his understanding, "It's the same in our village, so it's no big deal."
He slightly raised the cat in his hand and said, "This kitten probably ran to our farm out of play and helped us a lot. I'm here to return it to you."
"Thank you, Prince Wang. He's still young and really loves to play." She looked at the cat still sleeping in his arms and called out, "Jinjin, come down."
The kitten woke up, meowed, jumped out of his arms, stretched, and slowly walked into the yard.
Wang Wenxuan paused, wanting to hand the cat to Jiang Nian...
"Sir, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. We are about to have dinner. Why don't you invite us into our home to eat together?"
Wang Wenxuan had only eaten breakfast and was already hungry. Besides, this seemed to be the first time she had taken the initiative to treat him to a meal?
He thought about it in his mind, then said a few polite words and walked in.
He walked behind and had looked at the Jiang family yard last time. The overall layout was no different, but it looked like an ordinary farmyard. It was not like their family's yard that paid attention to feng shui layout, flowers, plants and rocks.
But each has its own interest.
He looked at the way the couple in front of him walked. Even though he himself was not married yet, he could tell something was wrong. Mrs. Jiang must be pregnant.
Wang Wenxuan sat at the table and looked at the dishes, his appetite aroused.
The food at the Jiang family is no worse than theirs, with fresh fish head and tofu soup, steamed egg with minced meat, a plate of vegetables, and dry rice as the staple food.
It's not that the Wang family doesn't have meat, but there are differences between different kinds of meat. The food was already prepared when he arrived, which meant it wasn't a special treat for him; it was just their usual food.
Wang Wenxuan had naturally heard that the Jiang family raised a lot of poultry and livestock, and today he was fortunate enough to get a glimpse of them.
Jiang Yue invited Wang Wenxuan to dinner for a purpose. One was to thank him for coming to remind her last time, and the other was to ask if their family could buy livestock.
"Our village also needs to be reclaimed. We have already asked someone to look for oxen. If we have any news, we can help you find one or two."
There was a shortage of oxen everywhere, and it was very generous of him to ask for help in finding one or two.
Jiang Yue didn't mean that. She was a little embarrassed and said, "I want to find a cow, preferably a male and a female that have not been castrated."
"Madam Jiang wants to raise livestock?"
"I have considered this, but I've heard that drinking more milk can help children grow up strong and have fewer illnesses and disasters."
Wang Wenxuan pondered. It was said that the people on the northern grasslands loved drinking cow and goat milk, and they indeed grew tall and strong. Could it be that this milk really had this effect?
If this is true, their old father and his two younger siblings can drink more to replenish their bodies.
He nodded, "I'll deliver the letter tomorrow, but it's not easy to find, so it will probably take quite some time."
"Thank you, Prince Wang. I'm very grateful for your help."
Jiang Yue asked Mrs. Zhang to catch two chickens and count out twenty eggs and give them to him.
Now their store no longer sells eggs. There are more and more hens being raised in the pen, and they can lay hundreds of eggs a day. Mrs. Zhang hatches dozens of chickens every month, so their family is indeed not short of these things now.
Wang Wenxuan didn't refuse seeing this. It was better for the two families to have a mutual exchange. It must be said that Miss Jiang was thoughtful and every gift she gave touched her heart.
He was just about to go to the city and bring it home so he could make a pot of old hen soup to nourish his family. The Wang family's chicken coop didn't have as many chickens as the Jiang family's, so they couldn't finish them all.
After seeing Wang Wenxuan off, Jiang Yue and Wang Wenxuan took a walk in the backyard to help digest their food.
She sat on the swing and Jiang Nian rocked her gently.
The two discussed his arrangements for going out.
