Chapter 172

I spent another day in a daze. After work, I went to An's house to learn how to weed the ground, and then went to Zhang Fengci's house to tend to the vegetable seedlings.

Remove the weeds, water the plants, and carefully nourish those little things with spiritual energy.

The emerald green seedlings stretched out their branches and leaves, shook as if happily, and proudly held up their delicate branches, looking full of energy.

A dog's mouth, drooling, appeared above a seedling and slowly approached.

The busy kid turned around and said, "San Tu, do you want to get beaten?"

The bald dog remained unmoved and stubbornly opened its mouth wider. Zhang Fengci, who was prepared, raised his hand and threw a dried fish to it. The huge pumpkin moved its feet, kicked its hind legs, and jumped down from the top of the wall, rushing straight towards the bald dog, knocking it unconscious, and then scratching and biting it.

The bitten Tutu howled miserably twice, then ran to the corner with its tail between its legs.

He shivered, whimpered, and put his paws to his nose as if he was crying.

Pumpkin enjoyed the delicious dried fish like a victorious bully, then shook off the dirt on his feet, walked to Zhang Fengci with his tail raised, gently placed his foot on the cat's buttocks, meowed twice, raised his paws and patted Zhang Fengci's shoes with his paw pads.

Meow!

The flat, bitter and resentful face was raised high.

Zhang Fengci understood it very well, so he pinched a small dried fish and fed it to its mouth.

The cat that seemed to be able to eat a dog in one bite just now suddenly couldn't bite anymore. It couldn't get a small dried fish into its mouth for a long time and meowed anxiously.

Break it into small pieces.

After eating, she would stretch out her pink tongue and lick the residue off her hands.

The cat's tongue with a little bit of barb, can it only take away the fish scraps?

Do not!

And there is Zhang Fengci's heart.

"Our Pumpkin is such a good cat, so well-behaved and capable, and he knows how to cherish his food, right?"

When Zhang Fengci said this, Pumpkin was meowing and rubbing against him, and kept pushing its head into the palm of his hand.

"Oh, good boy, you are a good baby."

Pumpkin meowed, and his throat gurgled, making comfortable sounds.

Zhang Fengci picked it up, and it obediently lay on Zhang Fengci's shoulder, still purring.

The three-bald dog in the corner also made similar sounds, snoring from its throat, baring its teeth and snorting, as if it was ready to rush over and tear everything in front of it to pieces at any time.

Of course that wasn't possible. Zhang Fengci finally remembered it, took out the chain from behind, and winked at the child.

The child understood what he had been told and walked out of the vegetable garden. Before the bald dog could sneak away, he tied it up neatly.

The leather neck strap and iron chain were tied to the edge of the stone table. One could clearly see how Zhang Fengci coaxed the pumpkin and how the children tended the vegetable garden, but no one could reach it.

The sad dog howled at the moon.

"Ooooooooo!"

Zhang Fengci took out the precepts and knocked on the table: "Don't shout!"

Pumpkin rubbed Zhang Fengci's chin with a meow, his voice a little timid.

Zhang Fengci smiled brightly: "I'm not talking about you. Our pumpkin barks the best. We can bark however we want."

Pumpkin: Meow!

Sanbalu: ...Woo.

This time it cried sincerely.

The children can empathize with it and understand the feeling of being frustrated.

Because Pumpkin was not like that at all in front of the two of them.

What good cat, good child, good baby, what does that have to do with it?

It beats dogs, it beats people, it does whatever it wants, so how can it be called a good cat?

It’s because he was bribed by the dried fish.

Zhang Fengci, Eunuch Zhang, the cat is lying to you, did you know that? It does the same to Aunt Wang and the others!

After eating and drinking enough, it will run away!

The child complained in his heart while paying attention to the movement over there.

Sure enough, after the dried fish was eaten, Pumpkin immediately jumped out of Zhang Fengci's arms, jumped onto the wall in a few seconds, and climbed into Chen Dianshen's house.

I don't know what it's doing.

Chen Dianshan didn't like cats, but Lianli with slender eyes did like it. Once, a child saw Lianli holding the cat and basking in the sun at the door, and turned away when he saw it.

She greeted him, but he pretended not to hear her and covered the cat's eyes and ears.

That's a weirdo too.

He is about the same age as Chen Dianshen, but he calls Chen Dianshen godfather.

After leaving the palace, he followed Chen Dianshen like a servant, as if he would never leave his duty.

Everyone called him Lianli, and the children thought his surname was Lian, but Zhang Fengci said that he took Chen Dianshen's surname.

His name is Chen Lianli.

A child once asked Zhang Fengci, what was Lianli’s original surname?

Zhang Fengci thought for a long time before saying: I don’t remember.

Zhang Fengci's original surname was not Zhang.

He talked a lot with the child about the past scenery, the spring scenery of the imperial capital, the willow-leaf peach and heart-breaking grass in his hometown, and the puppy he raised named Erwang.

Most of them are fun things.

But he never really talked about things that touched upon the past.

The child was very excited to listen to it, but when he thought about it later, he felt that he still knew nothing.

Just like Master Jingneng, she told her many stories but never told her where she came from.

The child could only learn from fragments of information that they, like her, had no home to return to.

So don’t say it, there are some things children don’t want to talk about.

After having supper, the children will go home.

Zhang Fengci called her, "Wait a minute, kid. It's too late. Ask Mu Tou to take you back."

Mu Tou was a servant in Zhang Fengci's household.

He is in his twenties, very capable and smart, but I don't know why he is called Mu Tou.

The child didn't want to go with him: "He can't keep up with me."

"Won't you go slower... Oh, forget it, go by yourself."

Zhang Fengci glared, thought for a moment, and waved his hand.

"Go straight home and don't run around."

The child felt that he was becoming more and more long-winded, just like Aunt Yu:

"I see."

She replied and went out. Before leaving, she looked around for pumpkins, but didn't find any here, so she went to the next door to ask.

The doorman at Chen Dianshan's house was an old man with poor hearing. A child asked him, "Is the pumpkin here?"

He replied: "Where should I plant the steamed bun flowers?"

He squinted his eyes for a long time before recognizing the child: "Oh, it's you. The cat is here. It was just here. Lianli took it into the house. You asked me to get it for you."

Seeing him trembling, the child felt embarrassed to ask him to pick up the cat: "I can do it myself."

She ran in as if she knew the way, knocked on the door and called out, "Lian Li, I'm here to pick up Pumpkin!"

"What Lianli? You're going to eat those two words of father-in-law!"

Lian Li rolled her eyes as soon as she opened the door and pressed her head hard.

His eyes were so thin and long that the child couldn't see clearly. He just protected his head and didn't let him move: "I still need to grow taller!"

Lian Li sneered: "Grow, grow, grow until you become a thin hemp pole, and then I will use you as a clothesline."

This person is annoying!

The child didn't want to pay attention to him: "Pumpkin, come out quickly and go home."

Pumpkin said nothing.

The child was a little embarrassed, and Lian Li was laughing again.

The child glared at him and squeezed in to find the pumpkin, and he didn't stop him.

When I went in, I found that Pumpkin was sleeping on someone's bed. His body was stretched out like a long and wide noodle. He didn't even want to be held and just burrowed into the quilt.

Lian Li: "Oh, if it doesn't want to go, don't bother it. Just go back on its own. If you make it anxious, who knows where it will go."

"I know, you don't have to tell me!"

How could a child not understand his cat?

"You have to take care of it."

Lian Li: "Why? I'll beat it up in a minute."

The child had already walked out the door. After hearing what he said, she changed her mind, but he said he was just teasing her. It was so annoying that he kept changing his tone.

In the end, the child carried the pumpkin on his shoulders and took it home.

Lian Li also said that she didn't know how to be funny.

So why call him father-in-law? It would be nice to call him Lianli.

Originally, his status was just like a servant and a child.
