Chapter 817: Buddha Mother
"Yikes!"
Xiaoxue woke up from her nightmare in horror, sweat soaking her hair on her forehead and sideburns, clinging to her skin.
When she opened her eyes, the room was very dark with the curtains drawn.
She instinctively wanted to sit up and get rid of the nightmare as soon as possible, but her body was very heavy, she had difficulty breathing, and her chest seemed to be squatting on a person, and she couldn't sit up at all.
Could it be...... The legendary ghost press?
The thought of this made her sweat trickle down even more.
She barely suppressed the trepidation in her heart and lowered her eyes to look down......
"Meow~"
Snowball was lying on her chest, staring at her innocently.
Xiaoxue: "......"
"Go, go, get out of bed, crush me!" she waved Snowball out of bed, a real sense of relief.
It's no wonder that Snowball is already a full adult, and the weight of ten pounds is pressed on his chest, and he will definitely have nightmares about difficulty breathing.
She was a little sleepy and wanted to sleep a little longer, but no, today is the opening day of the Qiyuan Aquarium, and she has already issued a live broadcast notice to go to the pet store to do a live broadcast...... If she continued to lie in bed, her mother would definitely complain again.
Xiaoxue got up, washed her face and brushed her teeth, changed into dry pajamas, and sat at the desk for a while, until the nightmare was completely forgotten, and then turned on the computer.
Entering Weibo, there were a lot of private messages in the background, and she replied to them one by one.
Most of the private messages are sent by friendly fans, but occasionally there will be inexplicable insults and accusations, such as which live broadcast she did was not objective and unfair, the food in the store she introduced was not delicious at all, and even diarrhea after eating, asking her how much benefit fee she had charged the store?
There was also a private message from the marketing account of a local store in Binhai City, asking her if she would accept the advertisement, and she was willing to spend money to invite her to go over for a live broadcast and say more good things.
For the latter, she can still patiently and politely reply that she is not interested, and the choice of the store is all based on her own preferences, and for the former, she used to apologize very panickedly, but gradually she just blocked the matter, because she found that the other party did not necessarily understand after apologizing, but would post her reply on Weibo, and even ask her for compensation.
In one private letter after another, some people also claimed to have seen the traces of the statue of the cat god. Similar private messages happen almost every day, and once she sees a similar private message, Xiaoxue will always copy the content of the letter into a separate document.
However, with a little analysis, it can be found that the credibility of the revelations in the private messages is questionable, and it is not uncommon for two or three people to claim to have seen the cat god statue in two or three different places on the same day...... Unless the cat statue can fly, someone is deliberately playing a prank, or trying to cheat the reward - there will be not only brave men but also liars under the big reward.
Worse may be that she doesn't want to think about it, because some locations are inaccessible, such as unfinished buildings on the outskirts of the city that have been abandoned for many years.
She sifted through these revelations a little, eliminated those that were too ridiculous and contradictory, and concentrated the rest on a single document, printed it out, and prepared to hand it over to Zhang Zi'an today.
Xiaoxue is curious about the disappearance of the cat god statue, because the statue was given by her, and then disappeared mysteriously. She'd love to help, but it's better than being bored at home.
Squeak –
The printer spits out A4 carbon paper.
When she was almost done, Snowball was lying on her pants and meowing, as if trying to climb onto her lap.
"Oh, Snowball, you're so heavy! I can't even hold you!"
Xiaoxue tried to pick it up, and her arm immediately felt the heavy weight. I think that when she first brought it home from the pet store, it was like a hairball, and it grew so big in a blink of an eye.
"Let's go downstairs and eat. ”
She went downstairs with a snowball in her arms.
Breakfast was already set up in the dining room, and her mother glanced at her, "Yo, the sun is coming out in the west today?"
Although she knew it was sarcasm, Xiaoxue still shook her head happily, because if she was angry, she would be in her mother's arms.
She placed the snowball on the floor, where its breakfast was already arranged, and the basin was raised for a flat-faced cat like the Persian to keep all the food scraps from getting on her face.
Xiaoxue also sat in the restaurant, dusted off her clothes casually, and was about to reach out and grab the bread.
Syllable!
The mother slapped the back of her hand accurately, "Go wash your hands!"
Xiaoxue reluctantly ran to the bathroom downstairs and came back after washing her hands.
"Look at your clothes, it's all over the cat hair. It's in your room too, and you don't know and think I have two cats!" said the mother.
Xiaoxue looked down and saw that she had just changed into her pajamas, and she had only hugged Xueqiu for a few minutes, and there were a lot of long and white cat hair hanging on her chest.
"It has nothing to do with me, it's snowballs shedding. She grabbed the bread as she pleaded.
"It's none of your business if you brush it every day, and it will lose so much hair?...... Forget it, you're going to the pet store today, aren't you?, by the way, give Snowball a little shorter!" the mother ordered.
"Don't. Xiaoxue simply refused: "It's a long-haired cat, how ugly it is to shave." ”
Poof!
Snowballs make strange noises under the table and crouch on the carpet, wriggling as if uncomfortable.
"What's wrong with Snowball?" Xiaoxue threw down the half-eaten bread and tried to pick it up.
Snowball opened her mouth and spat out a puddle of disgusting stuff with a bunch of hair in it.
It seemed to feel much more comfortable after spitting it out, but it seemed to be disgusted by what it had vomited out, and pulled the food bowl with its paws and ran a little farther away for breakfast.
Xiaoxue suddenly realized: "This is the so-called spitting hairball, right?
She jumped off the dining chair and wanted to slip away quickly, but her mother grabbed her collar and said coldly: "It's the cat you brought back, you are responsible for cleaning up this thing, and you are not allowed to push it to the cleaning aunt." ”
"It's so unlucky!" Xiaoxue cried and looked for masks, gloves, tissues, disinfectant and other things from the storage room, and closed her eyes to clean up the pool of vomit.
Ding dong!
Hearing the doorbell, the mother, who was supposed to be the overseer, went to open the door.
Xiaoxue squeezed her nose at the snowball, and said like her mother: "You spit it out, and you are responsible for cleaning up this puddle of things!"
It's a pity that Snowball is indifferent and continues to eat its cat cans.
The mother walked back with a large bouquet of flowers, dug her nose deep into the stamens and took a deep breath, "Well, it smells so good!"
"Where did the flowers come from?" Xiaoxue asked curiously, "What is the festival today?"
"I bought it myself, and I'm learning flower arrangement with my neighbor's wife. The mother hummed softly, went to the kitchen to get a vase, sat on the coffee table and took out a bouquet and inserted it into the vase.
Xiaoxue looked closer, "What a beautiful flower, what kind of flower?"
"Tulips. Her mother looked at her and asked without much hope, "Do you want to study with me?"
Flower arrangement is a woman's most powerful art, and it is basically an art exclusive to women, as long as you listen to the name, you can give people a sense of tranquility and elegance. Long-term learning of flower arrangement, you can cultivate temperament, improve artistic accomplishment, but also decorate the home more warm and beautiful, hand-arranged flowers to the guests, more able to convey their sincerity to each other.
She obviously hopes that Xiaoxue will restrain her temperament by learning flower arrangement, even if she can't be as quiet and virtuous as a real lady, at least like an ordinary girl.
As expected, Xiaoxue shook her head dryly, "Don't learn! Flower arrangement is not for me!"
“...... How do you know it's not for you if you don't try?" said the mother angrily.
"Oh! It's not suitable for me anyway! Sex incompatibility, incompatibility, in short, it is not suitable!" Xiaoxue was afraid that her mother would continue to entangle, so she hurriedly looked at her watch and said, "The time is almost up, I'm leaving! Everyone is still waiting for me!"
She threw the dirty tissues into the trash, put the gloves, masks, and disinfectant back in place, and ran back upstairs to change clothes in a panic.
"Really...... I'm so angry! This dead girl is so wild that she can't help it!" the mother gritted her teeth in hatred, and with a tightening of her fingers, she bent a beautiful tulip stem.
"No! No, the world is so beautiful, but I'm so irritable, it's not good! I want to meditate! I want Buddhism! From today on, I want to be a Buddhist mother! I don't want to be happy with my baby, I don't feel sorry for myself!"
She took a deep breath, her eyes were slightly closed, her eyes looked at her nose, her nose looked at her heart, she smiled, her face was full of Buddha's light, she held a vase in her hand, and she held flowers with five fingers, looking at her like Guanyin Bodhisattva who was not stained with the dust of the world, and like the pure Virgin Mary.
"It's okay to have, it's okay not to have, don't fight, don't want to win or lose. ”
"All troubles are vain. ”
"All kinds of unhappiness are fleeting. ”
"Getting married and having children is like a dream bubble. ”
"Let my daughter toss, I stand still. ”
"The Buddha raises a baby, and he is as happy as he is. ”
"Amitabha, good, good. ”
She had words in her mouth, and under the constant self-suggestion, her mood gradually became cheerful, her negative emotions were swept away, her body fluttered as if floating in the clouds, and she even felt that there should be Buddha light behind her back and a halo above her head at this time......
Xiaoxue took her mobile phone and carried her bag, and rushed downstairs with a jump.
"Mom, I'm out!"
She ran two steps, turned her head and saw the tulips on the table blooming beautifully, thinking that it was not good to go empty-handed when the aquarium opened, and it should be okay to send a few tulips, right?
"Mom, I'll take a few flowers, anyway, there are so many, it shouldn't be in the way. She said casually, pulled a few golden tulips from the bouquet and trotted out the door.
The mother suddenly opened her eyes, and saw that Xiaoxue had taken away all the golden tulips, leaving her only red, pink, and white, how could she arrange flowers?
"You come back to me, put down the flowers, and buy them yourself!" she yelled.
It's a pity that Xiaoxue has run away and can't hear her roar.
Sure enough, she still can't be a Buddhist mother.
