Chapter 37
The next day was a good day for the Chinese New Year's Eve, but for Chu Xiaoxi, the New Year was much more lonely than usual. She gave Xiaozhuzi a holiday and asked her to go home to reunite with her family, and she made do with it alone.
Originally, Xiaozhuzi didn't want to leave, because she felt that it was much more interesting to live here than at home, and she had to deal with miscellaneous relatives when she returned home, but Zhu Xiaoxi repeatedly asked her to go back, she had no choice but to go back, leaving Chu Xiaoxi alone at home, with the meat and vegetables she bought at home, she was ready to cook two dishes by herself, and eat some by herself.
The old man who watched the gate also asked him to go back for the New Year, and she also let them go home in the two nursing homes, she was the only one left in the whole compound, empty, in fact, she herself was a little scared, but with Mimi and Xiaohuang as her companions, she could also be better.
She was going to cook, so she changed into more homely clothes, and was about to roll up her sleeves and go to the kitchen to cook when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. There was no one else here, so she could only open the door by herself, and when she opened the door, she saw that it was no one else standing outside the door, it was Murong Feng, and he was also carrying a food box in his hand, the food box was quite tall and big, and it seemed to contain a lot of things inside.
She asked Murong Feng, "Have you eaten it?" Why did you come so early? ”
Murong Feng said: "It's not early, I came here to accompany you for the New Year, I heard that Xiaozhuzi and they all went back, and you were the only one left, I didn't worry so I came to accompany you." ”
Chu Xiaoxi said: "That's so embarrassing, you originally came back to accompany your family for the New Year, if they knew that you came here, they would be unhappy." ”
Murong Feng said: "It's okay, I only said that I would go out to meet friends, and I didn't tell them that I was here to accompany you, and they wouldn't have an opinion on you." ”
Chu Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief, and then let him in, in fact, she was really surprised and touched that Murong Feng could come, she didn't expect Murong Feng to be so considerate, and she knew to come and accompany her.
Murong Feng walked all the way to the house, then put the food box on the table, and said, "I brought you something to eat, I don't know if it suits your appetite." ”
As he spoke, he opened the food box and took out the dishes one by one, the dishes were still hot, there were 4 kinds of food, all of them were chicken, fish, meat and eggs, and a plate of dumplings. The food was steaming hot, and it looked like he really cared for it.
Chu Xiaoxi glanced at him gratefully and said, "Why did you bring so much food, I can't eat so much by myself." ”
Murong Feng said: "It's okay, I can eat with you, when I was eating just now, because I was thinking about you, I only ate a little and came over." ”
Chu Xiaoxi nodded and said, "Then I'll go to the kitchen and get two pairs of chopsticks." After saying that, she went to the kitchen and brought two pairs of chopsticks, and the two of them sat facing each other and began to eat.
Mimi and Xiao Huang were also hungry, and the two of them leaned over together, but when they saw Murong Feng, they were still a little scared, and they were just dangling around Chu Xiaoxi.
Chu Xiaoxi went to the kitchen and brought their bowls, sandwiched a few dumplings for each of them, and put some meat in their bowls, and then Xiao Huang and Mimi ate them, Xiao Huang finished eating them in a few big bites, and went to grab Mimi's, and the two guys broke up unhappily.
Murong Feng looked at these two little animals and couldn't help frowning, he didn't like them very much, especially when he saw them at the dinner table, he didn't like them even more, but Chu Xiaoxi liked them, and he had no choice but to pretend not to see them and continue to eat the things in his bowl.
Chu Jing was a little embarrassed when she saw that the things given were not enough for Rhubarb and Mimi to eat, because there was only one plate of dumplings, which was not enough for the two of them to eat, those dishes were all good dishes, if she just gave them two to eat, she was afraid that Murong Feng would feel uncomfortable, so she touched the heads of the two of them and said, "I'll get you food later, you go play first!" ”
But not only did the two little ones not leave, Mimi also jumped on her lap and lay down, while Xiao Huang sat next to her and looked at her with blank eyes.
Chu Xiaoxi had no choice but to get some meat and bones and throw them on the ground to feed it, and with the meat and bones to gnaw, Xiao Huang was satisfied, and he lay there and ate the bones with relish.
Murong Feng frowned and asked, "Do they really have no fleas?" ”
Chu Xiaoxi said: "No, I have to bathe them almost every three or five days, and now it's cold, I don't wash as much as I do, and I have to wash them almost every day in summer." ”
Murong Feng said, "Isn't that troublesome? ”
He had never seen anyone bathe cats and dogs, and he thought it was too much.
Chu Xiaoxi said: "It's not troublesome, as long as they cooperate, it's the same as bathing people, you don't have prejudice against them, if you don't like them, you will feel troublesome, if you like them, you will feel normal, and even feel that it is a kind of enjoyment." ”
Murong Feng nodded and said: "You stay alone all day, it's okay to raise cats and dogs, so there is a little sustenance, you don't have to take them with us when we go to the capital in the future, because we don't have a place to raise them there, and the people there don't like small animals very much." ”
Chu Xiaoxi was a little stunned when she thought of going to the capital, but she still nodded and said, "Let's talk about it then." ”
Murong Feng asked, "Little Bamboo, they have all gone back for the New Year, aren't you afraid of being here alone?" ”
Chu Xiaoxi said: "It's nothing, the folk customs here are all very simple, and there are no bad people, as long as I lock the doors and windows before I go to bed, it's fine." Besides, there are Mimi and Xiao Huang with me, and if there is any movement, Xiao Huang will also call. ”
Murong Feng glanced at Xiao Huang, who was lying on the ground gnawing on the bones, nodded, and didn't say anything, Xiao Huang heard Chu Xiaoxi say his name, and raised his head to look at her, and then lowered his head and continued to gnaw.
Usually the little bamboo rarely gives it bones, I feel that the bones are easy to choke, or stuck in the throat, I dare not give it to eat, now it finally has something to eat, of course, to eat enough, so busy can not take care of anything.
After Murong Feng and Chu Xiaoxi finished eating the food on the table, they cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. Chu Xiaoxi cleaned up the food box, and filled it with some fruits and melon seeds, saying that the courtesy was still exchanged, Murong Feng said that there were a lot of these things in his house, and he was not allowed to pretend to be there, and Chu Xiaoxi couldn't pretend to give it, and filled it for him.
Murong Feng said: "It's so heavy, I really don't want to carry it back." ”
