Early Saturday morning, the Xia family got up, ate breakfast, and prepared to go select piglets.
Since arriving here, Xia Wenxi's underworld routine has become much healthier. She falls asleep every night to the sound of sporadic dog barks and wakes up in the morning to the sound of roosters crowing.
If it weren't for its distance from the city center, Xia Wenxi would have thought this was indeed a good place to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination.
But there are luxurious single study rooms in the city waiting for her, so she can only visit this place occasionally.
It must be said that the genius owner here is quite dedicated to raising pigs. There is almost no odor when you walk into the place where the piglets live, and the three piglets in one pen do not feel crowded at all.
The staff member spoke up at the appropriate time to introduce:
"Hello, our piglets are all here. You can choose any piglet that catches your eye. A staff member will take you to register the piglet and arrange a separate pen for it. We will install cameras above the pen so you can check on it at any time."
Xia Wenxi now seriously doubts whether the owner here is a potential pig lover. Is it really possible for someone to be willing to slaughter their own pigs for meat after such a series of actions? If they were to keep raising pigs, where would they find such a large place to raise pigs indefinitely?
However, the staff quickly took the initiative to explain the problem.
"The remaining piglets are the last batch for our farm. After all of these piglets are adopted, we will not be developing this project for a while, as we still have limited space and manpower."
Sure enough, under this "hunger marketing" approach, Ke Shurong became even more eager, saying, "It seems I came at just the right time; if I had come any later, there wouldn't have been any pigs left."
The staff also smiled and chimed in:
"Yes! You've come at just the right time. Actually, our farm didn't have this service last year. It was a few months ago that our boss took over a pig farm that was about to go bankrupt. The piglets had nowhere to go, and it would be a waste to kill them, so the boss came up with this idea."
"Your boss has some interesting ideas."
Xia Wenxi casually made a compliment, but to her surprise, the employee smiled as if she had been praised, looking quite proud.
“Our boss is a really good person. If he hadn’t taken over the pig farm, the pig farm owner’s daughter wouldn’t have had money for medical treatment! Even though we could have bought the pig farm and these pigs at a price far below the market price, our boss still offered a higher price!”
"Your boss is a really nice person!"
Seeing this, Xia Wensheng whispered to Xia Wenxi, "Just you wait and see, even a pig probably can't let go of our mom's admiration for the boss."
No one knows a mother better than her child.
"Great, now we have both Paige and George!"
Seeing Ke Shurong's happy expression, Xia Wenxi thought it was good, "At least both names are being used, which is great."
Xia Hengyuan enthusiastically added, "Peppa and George are siblings. We don't have siblings in our family, but we do have brothers and sisters, which is perfect! Da Bao is George, and Xiao Bao is Peppa!"
Xia Wensheng had already brushed up on the knowledge points about Peppa and George last night. The two looked at each other and gave each other a silent greeting.
"Hello, Brother Pig."
"Hello, Piggy."
After selecting the pigs, Ke Shurong stayed in the pigpen for the entire morning! Just to watch Peppa and George eat, and Xia Hengyuan also stayed by his wife's side.
In order to be able to eat pork without any psychological barriers in the future, Xia Wenxi and Xia Wensheng chose to make their escape early.
On their last afternoon at the farm, the family decided to have a barbecue by the river. Because of her excellent fishing skills, Xia Wenxi was approved to inherit her father's fishing gear and be in charge of fishing for everyone.
Grilled skewers, eating skewers, fishing, grilled fish.
The afternoon passed quickly, and the family returned home as the sun set. Coincidentally, they ran into the same family of three they had met before on the way.
Looks like little George is rolling around in the mud again...
The family had lunch the next day before setting off back to the city. Xia Wenxi rode in one car with her parents, while Xia Wensheng drove his own car back.
While in the car, Xia Wenxi messaged Lin Shen to arrange a time to pick up Xiaoyuer from the hospital.
The things she ordered online have all arrived one after another. Butler Zhou has arranged for someone to clean an empty room and has also unpacked, disinfected and arranged all the cat's things that she bought, so that Xiaoyuer can move in directly after she comes back.
Xia Wenxi estimated her arrival time at home and sent a message to Lin Shen—
I'm on my way back now. Any time after 4 PM is fine for me. Could you please send me the address of the pet hospital? I'll go there directly then.
Lin Shen quickly replied: [Okay, is 5 PM okay? See you at the hospital entrance.]
Xia Wenxi quickly put down her phone after giving an "OK" sign; otherwise, she would have vomited in the car.
"I'm going to pick up the kitten when we get home!" Xia Wenxi announced to everyone.
"Welcome, welcome!" Ke Shurong clapped.
Xia Hengyuan suddenly slapped his thigh, "So that's how it is!"
"What's wrong, Dad?"
"Wife, do you still remember?" Xia Hengyuan asked Ke Shurong excitedly.
"Last year when we went hiking, we met a fortune teller who said that our family would usher in a new turning point and change this year, and that there would be a new member!"
"At the time, I guessed that Da Bao was bringing his girlfriend home, but I didn't expect it to be Xiao Zhu and Xiao Mao."
Xia Wenxi thought to herself that the fortune teller was really accurate. Wasn't she a new member too?
"That's really accurate, Mom and Dad. Maybe Xia Wensheng will really bring his girlfriend home before the Chinese New Year this year."
"That's right, that's right! He's a true master. Next time I go, I'll see if I can find him again and have him do another reading."
——
After returning home and resting for a while, Xia Wenxi took the newly bought pet carrier to the pet hospital to pick up her cat. The appointment was at five o'clock, but she arrived at four forty. She originally thought Lin Shen hadn't arrived yet, but he was already at the hospital.
"Let me take you to see Xiaoyuer first, so you can get to know each other."
Xia Wenxi nodded vigorously; she was finally going to have a cat!
"So cute!"
Xia Wenxi lowered her voice, afraid that she would scare the cat. Unexpectedly, Xiaoyuer was not shy at all and kneaded on her the first time she was held.
"It seems it really likes you. Thank you for adopting it."
Lin Shen stood to the side, watching the scene with a smile. The girl seemed to be completely absorbed in the kitten in her arms and didn't even hear him speak.
Xia Wenxi looked up and smiled, "Thank you for saving its life too."
Lin Shen was supposed to have Xia Wenxi take the cat away directly, but he suddenly changed his mind.
"It's almost time for Little Fish to eat. Why don't you wait until it finishes eating before taking it back?"
There's a restaurant right across from the pet hospital. If you don't mind, I'll treat you to dinner. Consider it a thank you for giving Xiaoyuer a home.
