"Poor little thing..."
The little orange cat in front of me looked no more than two or three months old. It was so thin that it was just a bag of bones. Its wet orange fur was tangled and covered with snow foam, clinging tightly to its tiny body.
Its eyes were tightly closed, and its body was curled up stiffly. Only the extremely weak and almost invisible rise and fall of its chest proved that it still had a trace of breath left.
The weather was freezing, and if she came a little later, the kitten would probably not survive.
"Don't be afraid, let's go home and warm up..."
Shen Mo stuffed it into her clothes and ran back to her room.
Seeing her coming back mysteriously, Lu Qingyang asked curiously:
"What are you doing outside?"
Chen Mo carefully took the kitten out of her arms.
The little orange cat still had its eyes closed, but its body seemed a little softer than before in the snow.
The slight rise and fall of the chest was also slightly more obvious.
It was startled by the warmth in the room and Shen Mo's movements. It made a very weak "meow..." sound and rubbed its little head unconsciously against Shen Mo's palm.
"Go sit on the kang, don't get cold."
At the same time, she quickly walked to the kang with the kitten in her arms and wrapped it again with the thin blanket that Shen Mo had used to cover it.
She walked quickly to the cupboard and picked up the thermos bottle and a clean, unused enamel basin on top.
The thermos was filled with boiled water that was still warm.
Lu Qingyang carefully poured a thin layer of warm water into the enamel basin, then reached out to test the temperature - slightly warm, not hot, just right.
She carried the basin back to the kang and placed it on the edge.
Lu Qingyang used a warm towel but did not wipe the kitten immediately. Instead, he used the back of his hand to confirm the temperature of the kitten's trunk.
Then he very gently began to wipe the kitten's wet head and face with a warm towel, carefully avoiding the nose.
"Rubbing it like this can help it warm up faster, but you have to control the strength. It's too fragile now."
Shen Mo looked at Lu Qingyang's profile, then touched her belly.
If she takes such good care of a kitten, she will surely take good care of the children in the future.
Lu Qingyang's body had obviously softened a lot, so he wrapped the kitten in a blanket again and put it back in the warmest spot on the kang.
“Mee…Woo…”
Then, the kitten's eyes, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened a crack!
Lu Qingyang fed it some spiritual spring water.
"Well, you're pretty tough. You'll recover."
Shen Mo looked at Lu Qingyang expectantly: "Can we keep it?"
"Of course, this is our home, you can keep it if you want."
"Let's give it a name?" Shen Mo raised her head and looked at 놛 with sparkling eyes.
Lu Qingyang looked at the warm orange ball and said casually: "It's so orange, so it's called... coal ball?"
Shen Mo: “……???” She looked at the kitten and burst out laughing.
"No! That's too ugly! It's so cute and orange, why call it Coal Ball? It should be called a warmer name!" Shen Mo protested and began to think seriously, "Hmm... call it 'Little Sun'? Or 'Nuan Nuan'? Or 'Little Orange'?"
"Then let's call her Nuan Nuan!"
In order to feed the kitten, Lu Qingyang went to get some goat milk.
Today's production team is no longer as poor as it used to be.
In addition to raising more than a hundred fat and strong pigs, they also raised a few shiny goats and a few strong oxen.
The barn was warm, with a mixture of hay, feed, and the unique smell of livestock.
Zhang Zhong was bending over, brushing a cow's hair carefully, his movements skillful and focused.
She was wearing an old cotton-padded jacket that was patched but washed very cleanly, and her cheeks were flushed with health from the warmth and hard work in the shed. She was no longer as down and out and depressed as she was before.
"Brother Zhang!" Lu Qingyang shouted.
Zhang Zhong looked up when he heard the voice and saw Lu Qingyang. He immediately showed a simple smile on his face and put down the brush to greet him: "Qingyang? Why are you here at this time? What's the matter?"
Lu Qingyang got straight to the point: "Well, I have something to trouble you with. My family... needs some goat milk. Not much, just a small bowl. It's best if it's fresh."
"Goat milk?" Zhang Zhong was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, "Oh! To nourish my sister-in-law, right? She's pregnant, she needs some nourishment! Wait, I'll go and squeeze it for you!"
놛 thought 놆 was giving Chen Mo some drink and turned to go to the sheepfold.
"No," Lu Qingyang quickly held her back, explaining with a helpless smile.
"Don't give it to Shen Mo. She has enough nutrition. She just found a frozen kitten in the snow. It was only the size of a palm and was dying. It finally recovered, but it was too small. I'm afraid it won't survive if it only eats rice porridge. I have to feed it with some milk."
"Okay!" Without saying a word, he immediately walked to the sheepfold, skillfully grabbed a goat that had just given birth and had enough milk, and started milking.
The pure white goat milk sizzled into the clean enamel jar, emitting a faint smell.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Qingyang said, "Brother Zhang, you are almost done with that matter."
Zhang Zhong was stunned for a moment: "What's the matter?"
"What else can it be? It's just a redress."
Although Lu Qingyang knew that Zhang Zhong would be rehabilitated next year, there was still a year to go.
I greeted Secretary Zhao, but who knew that he was so efficient.
"The materials have been reorganized and submitted, and I will personally oversee the processing. Although the formal written notice may still require some processing time, but... the review side has basically determined that there is no problem." He deliberately left room for maneuver, but it was also clear enough.
Of course, my grandfather’s help is also indispensable.
When I first told my grandfather about this, I thought he wouldn't help.
Who knew that Mr. Fang agreed immediately and things went smoothly.
"From now on, you won't make any mistakes and you can stand up straight. Your sister-in-law and children can also..."
Zhang Zhong excitedly shook his hand and said, "Thank you, thank you so much."
Lu Qingyang took out his wallet and took out the jade that he had given him before, "Brother Zhang, keep this for yourself. After all, you still need to make a living in the future, and you can exchange it for some money."
"You didn't take any?"
There's nothing I need now. With grandpa and dad like that, I can just lie down whenever I want.
Although I'm sure I can't lie down.
"Maybe you'll have the opportunity to start your own business in the future? You'll need capital."
Zhang Zhong wanted to say something, but he found that the other party had already left with the goat milk.
