Chapter 19 The countryside is simple
In the morning, except for Mr. Pei, who did not adopt Lin Jiaming's opinion, everything else went smoothly. At noon, the village was filled with the smell of rice, and Lin Jiaming and Mr. Pei also felt hungry in their stomachs.
"Xiaolin, is there a business spot around here?" Mr. Bei sat in the passenger seat and took a sip of water.
"No, I've seen it, there's one in the middle of the village, but it's closed. Lin Jiaming also took a sip of water, glanced at Mr. Pei, and then glanced at the back seat of the car, but did not see the cat on the seat, it should still be lying on the mat.
"I see you bought instant noodles, are you going to eat them at noon?" Mr. Bei looked at the entrance of the village again, several villagers squatted there with bowls, and also looked at Lin Jiaming and Mr. Bei in the car.
"Yes! I'll go to the village and get some boiling water. Mr. Pei, wait a minute!" With that, Lin Jiaming opened the car door, went to the back seat to pick up instant noodles, and walked to the village. Mr. Pei saw Lin Jiaming walking up to those people in the passenger seat and said something, one of them stood up, smiled and pointed behind him with chopsticks, and turned to leave, Lin Jiaming followed behind him with instant noodles. Of course, Mr. Pei knew that Lin Jiaming was asking the villager for boiling water, but his brows furrowed, he closed his eyes and lay on the seat again.
After about ten minutes, Lin Jiaming came out of the village with instant noodles in both hands and walked to the car. knocked on the car door with his elbow, but Mr. Pei's eyes did not open. Helplessly, Lin Jiaming put two buckets of instant noodles on the hood and opened the car door to wake up Mr. Pei. Mr. Bei got out of the car, walked to the bottom of the dead tree with instant noodles, and began to eat noodles, while Lin Jiaming leaned against the front of the car with instant noodles, but he had no intention of eating them. Looking at the ham sausage in the instant noodle bowl, Lin Jiaming thought that the cat behind the car should also be hungry.
Mr. Pei quickly finished eating, threw the instant noodle bowl into the ditch behind the dead tree, and walked towards the village. Lin Jiaming saw that Mr. Bei had entered the village, straightened up, walked to the other side and opened the back door, and called the cat, which was also really spiritual, barked, and limped out of the car. Lin Jiaming forked out the ham sausage in the bowl and put it in front of the cat, the cat sniffed, tilted his head, began to bite the ham sausage, and immediately shook his head. Seeing the cat's appearance, Lin Jiaming smiled.
"Eat slowly!"
"Meow~Woo woo~" The cat glanced at Lin Jiaming, as if saying that Lin Jiaming shouldn't laugh at himself.
"Hurry up and eat, go to the village and find a good family when you're done!" Lin Jiaming forked out a piece of ham sausage from the bowl again, blew it, and put it in front of the cat.
"Woo woo woo ~ " The cat ate very deliciously and ate it quickly.
The cat finished eating the ham sausage, but did not listen to Lin Jiaming's words to find a good family in the village, but continued to return to the car, lay on the soft foot mat, and continued to sleep.
"Hey~ I said you, are you really relying on me, hurry up!" Lin Jiaming opened the car door a little wider, and the cat didn't move at all. At this time, Mr. Pei came out of the village, and Lin Jiaming had no choice but to close the back door.
"Xiaolin, they didn't ask you for money, did they??" Mr. Pei's words made Lin Jiaming feel a little inexplicable.
"Who?"
"You just went to ask for boiling water and asked if you wanted money?" Mr. Bei repeated.
"No, they were very good, they heard that I wanted boiling water, they poured it directly for me, and didn't ask me for money!" Lin Jiaming replied.
"That's good! Rest for a while, and continue in the afternoon!"
The two rested in the car for about an hour before starting the afternoon. In the evening, the collection was finished. Lin Jiaming sorted out the equipment, loaded it into the trunk, and was about to get into the car, when an old grandmother stopped him at the entrance of the village. Lin Jiaming recognized that this was the grandmother of the person who poured the water in the morning.
"Come, young man!"
"Let's go, let's go, let's go!" Seeing this, Mr. Bei rolled down the window and urged Lin Jiaming to leave quickly.
"Mr. Pei, this is the old man of the house where I went to pour water in the morning, I'll go over and take a look! Wait a minute!" Lin Jiaming turned around.
Mr. Bei was displeased, but he didn't say anything anymore and rolled up the window. Lin Jiaming trotted to the grandmother.
"Grandma, what's the matter?" Lin Jiaming asked.
"Young man, when it's time to eat, I've come to call you to go to my house for a light meal before leaving. When I saw the instant noodles you ate in the morning, my son said that it was not nutritious. You gave me all that milk or something!"
Lin Jiaming looked back at the car, and met Mr. Bei's gaze, and then Mr. Bei immediately turned his head to the other side.
"Thank you, Grandma, for your kindness! Let's get back to the city as soon as possible, or it will be dark and the road will be difficult." ”
"We're all done, kid! We're waiting for you!" the old woman kept again.
"Thank you grandma, I really don't need to. We're really going to have to go back. Last night, because it was too dark, I almost had an accident!" Lin Jiaming knew that the old grandmother was sincere, but seeing Mr. Pei's reaction, Mr. Pei obviously didn't want to have too much to do with this village.
"Okay then~you kid~" With that, grandma slowly turned around and entered the village.
Back in the car, Lin Jiaming started the car.
"What did she just tell you to do, do you want money?" Mr. Bei asked with squinted eyes.
Lin Jiaming didn't know why Mr. Pei always asked the villagers if they asked for money, but he felt that this kind of question was very unfounded and rude.
"No!" Lin Jiaming stopped talking, and Mr. Pei didn't ask again. Lin Jiaming drove on the way back to the city.
The bumps along the way continued, and it gradually got dark. Lin Jiaming carefully observed the road conditions, after all, he didn't want to be falsely accused anymore, and he was lying on the mat behind the car in the morning. Thinking of the problem of placing this cat, Lin Jiaming had a headache. There's no way around it today, so let's think about it later.
Back in the hotel parking lot, Mr. Pei got out of the car first. Lin Jiaming hugged the cat, put it in a black transparent bag, locked the car, and went back to his room.
Back in the room, Lin Jiaming first brought the cat into the bathroom and wanted to take a bath with shower gel. When I was a child, my grandmother's family also had a cat, and Lin Jiaming tried to bathe the cat, but his hand was scratched very badly. I don't know if this cat will do the same, scratching himself all over his body, and this is a stray cat, it is more dangerous to be scratched.
Although I am very worried, I have to wash it, otherwise I can't let it stay here, and if I want people to take it in, the dirty appearance will also be an obstacle.
Strange to say, the cat seemed to know what Lin Jiaming was going to do, and it didn't bark, let alone move. Lin Jiaming took the sprinkler to flush it, and he was also very honest, so he screamed. After washing the cat, a small puddle of black sand was left on the bathroom floor. Because it was the cold spring season, Lin Jiaming was a little worried that the cat would get sick, so he used the hotel's hair dryer to dry its hair.
The cleaned cat turned out to be very cute. The glued fur was fluffy and didn't look so thin, orange and white patches of color, and the ears were shrugged over the round head. It tilted its head to look at Lin Jiaming, and Lin Jiaming also tilted its head to stare at it. A person and a cat, in this warm room, communicate each other's hearts.
