Night 29: Beer
In the warm yellow light of the faΓ§ade room squatted a girl and a woman, and in front of them lay a large black cat with a leisurely tail flicking.
Squatting, Ah Miao held her knees with her hands and knocked her chin on her arms, she tilted her head to look at the woman on the side and asked curiously, "Are you?
The woman put the cloth bag she was carrying at her feet, "Well, come often." β
"Then why have I never seen you?"
The woman didn't answer Miao's words, she reached out and gently touched the cat boss's ear.
The cat boss shook his ears, raised his head slightly and opened his eyes to see who was so bold that he dared to disturb his uncle cat at this time, and after seeing that it was a woman, he buried his head again and went back.
"Ha~ The cat boss seems to like you very much!" Ah Miao looked at the woman's fingers pointing at the cat boss's ears with some envy, she also wanted to touch the cat boss, the cat boss's hair felt very good at a glance, and it must be very comfortable to touch, but she couldn't do it for the time being.
The woman withdrew her hand and rubbed her fingertips, she looked at the cat boss and sighed, "Do you want to adopt the cat boss?"
Ah Miao was stunned, "Yes! Of course I want to!"
"Hey...... It's impossible......" Her voice suddenly fell.
"The cat boss has an owner...... Wait, you, you're the owner of the cat boss?!" she reacted after a while, and the woman asked her, apparently she was the owner of the cat boss.
The woman nodded, "Well, I am, do you want to adopt it?"
Ah Miao pursed her lips, stretched out her finger and poked the cement floor at the door of the door, scratched the ground with her fingernails, she was silent for a while, and then asked the woman a little unhappy, "Then why don't you want to raise a cat boss......?" You are...... Do you want to abandon it......
"I'm pregnant...... woman stood up from the ground on her knees, and with a look of anticipation, she smiled and touched her belly, which was not pregnant.
The woman and her husband have been married for five years, and for five years the couple has made a lot of efforts but they have not been able to conceive a child.
If it's because of the physical problems of the two people, then there is nothing to say but to accept fate, but both of them are very healthy and have no problems.
Because there has been no childless relationship, the relationship between the two of them has gradually begun to cold, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is getting worse and worse.
When she was on a business trip this time, she met a fortune teller on the road, and she was not in a good mood when she thought of divorcing her husband.
Over the years, no matter what size the hospital folk remedies have tried, she has tried a lot, but none of them are useful.
As usual, she asked when she would be able to conceive a child, and she thought that the fortune teller would be similar to what she had seen before, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Her attitude was a little perfunctory, and while asking, she was still thinking about work in her heart, and she felt that sincerity was spirituality, which was also lip service. It can't be true.
Unexpectedly, the person only looked at her twice and told her with a conclusive face that she was pregnant and a boy.
The woman didn't believe it at first, and she wanted to leave, but what if she thought about it, what if the man was telling the truth?
The man told her that because she had a cat in her way, if she continued to keep the cat, the baby in her belly would be lost.
The woman has only one cat, the eldest of the cats.
Later, the woman wanted to ask something, but the man refused to say anything, and the woman who was suspicious went to the local hospital for a check-up on the same day, and sure enough, she was pregnant.
As soon as she got the accurate news, she immediately called her husband and told her what happened today, and after her husband heard it, he told her not to raise a cat anymore, and said that after the child was born, the two of them lived a good life with the child, and never mentioned that they were going to divorce.
The woman was both happy and a little sad, she was happy that she and her husband didn't have to divorce, but she was also reluctant to let the cat boss make her a little sad.
Not long after hanging up the phone with her husband, she received another call from her foster cat boss friend, saying that the cat boss was missing.
When the woman heard this, she probably knew where the cat boss had gone, and called Huo Bai to ask, and the cat boss was indeed there.
The woman sitting on the hospital bench looked at the B-ultrasound sheet in her hand and touched her stomach again, and couldn't help crying and laughing. After thinking about it, I decided to meet the cat boss one last time.
She thought that the cat boss had always liked to run outside, but she didn't plan to keep it anymore, so it must be able to live very freely.
After returning from a business trip, she hesitated again, and it wasn't until seven or eight o'clock in the evening that she arrived at Huo Bai's food stall.
When she came, she put all the toys that the family cat boss often played with into a cloth bag and brought them with her.
Standing in front of the food stall, she is still hesitant, how can she have feelings after three years, the cat boss is already like a family to her, but, thinking about the child in her belly, she feels that the cat boss can no longer be raised.
Looking at the cat boss lying on his stomach not far away, she decided to give herself a little more time to think, so she ordered a dish here at Huo Bai for the first time.
However, the time was too short, and she still didn't make up her mind.
It wasn't until she said a few words to the girl who was squatting in front of the cat boss that she felt a sense of relief.
She thought that maybe she could give the cat boss to this girl to raise, and the girl liked the cat boss very much.
The woman stood there and gently stroked her belly, "I'm pregnant...... The cat boss can't keep it anymore......"
Ah Miao turned her head and buried half of her face in her arm, and she didn't know what she thought, "Then why do you have to adopt it in the first place......?
"Did you ask for his opinion when you adopted?"
"I didn't want to raise it without asking, so I made a decision directly......"
The woman opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.
The cat boss is just a cat, how can she ask for his opinion? Even if she does, what answer can the cat boss give her?
"That'...... Are you going to adopt a cat boss?"
Ah Miao looked at the cat boss for a while, "Raise!" Her tone was very firm.
The woman smiled, she pointed to the cloth bag on the ground and said, "These are all the toys that the cat boss likes, and I have them all in it." Please treat the cat boss well. After saying that, the woman pressed the corners of her somewhat sore eyes and left, without looking back.
Miao squatted in front of the cat boss and muttered, "I'll treat its ...... well"
"Boss Cat, you've been abandoned too, do you want to go home with me?"
"Cat Boss, why do you say there is such a thing as abandonment?"
"You say...... Since there is no guarantee that you can raise it from beginning to end, why adopt ......"
"You say...... Am I ...... How stupid?" Miao's voice choked up.
"Am I stupid......? I just know ......" Ah Miao's words couldn't go on anymore, she buried her head and whimpered quietly, "...... Woo......"
The voice is small, not much louder than the milk cat's voice.
After a while, Ah Miao calmed down, she looked at the cat boss with a pair of red eyes, "Cat boss, you wait for me for a day, I'll pick you up and take you to your new home in a day, okay?"
The cat boss seemed to understand her words and barked softly, "Meow~"
"You agreed?" Miao smiled and looked at the cat boss, and finally she couldn't help but reach out and carefully touch the tip of the cat boss's ear with her fingertips.
There's some warm fluffy feeling, "cat boss...... You are so soft......" Ah Miao suddenly smiled very brightly, she stood up and patted her pants, turned to Huo Bai and shouted: "Boss, bring me two bottles of wine!"
Huo Bai took the time to look up at Ah Miao who was walking with the light on his back, "Why did you suddenly remember to drink? Don't you can't drink it?" The ice wine is in the freezer over there, and the room temperature is in the basket over there, take it yourself." β
Ah Miao took out two bottles of wine from the basket and walked to Huo Bai to pay for it in his hand, "I'm happy!"
After paying, she picked up the wine driver on one side and opened both bottles.
Putting the wine under her nose and smelling it, she said with a disgusted face: "The taste is really strong." With that, she drank directly into the bottle.
While drinking her, she frowned deadly, and finally finished drinking a bottle, and she pouted and whispered, "The wine is really not delicious." β
Ah Miao's cheeks were red, her eyes were full of water, she looked at Huo Bai who was stir-frying with a smile and said in a brisk tone: "Cat boss, I'll stay with you for a day, and I'll pick it up and go home with me tomorrow!"
Huo Bai was slightly stunned, and he said why didn't the woman bring the cat boss home.
After saying that, she frowned again and poured the remaining bottle of wine, and with a "pop!" empty wine bottle was placed on the table by Ah Miao, and finally, she left with a red face and a bright smile.
Duan Ping stood by the grill and looked at Ah Miao, who was walking away with soft steps, and asked Huo Bai with some worry, "Brother Huo, is that girl okay alone?"
Huo Bai looked up at Ah Miao's back and smiled, "Don't worry, it's okay." Even if you have something, she won't be fine, people are amazing. β
Duan Ping listened to Huo Bai say this, and slightly relieved his heart, "Oh, that's good, it's too unsafe for girls to go out alone now." β
"Boss, why aren't my lamb skewers good yet?" asked the guests in the tent loudly before he finished speaking.
Duan Ping quickened the movement in his hand, turned around and shouted into the tent: "Wait a minute, it will be fine immediately." β
Finally, sprinkled with a handful of cumin and roasted it slightly for a while, Duan Ping opened the curtain and walked in with a large handful of lamb skewers skewers with mutton skewers wrapped in a plastic bag.
There are too many guests and not enough plates to prepare, so it can only be served.
Huo Bai estimated in his heart, it seems that he will have to bring back some more plates by the way when he goes to buy goods tomorrow morning.
