41. Pig pig

Lin Jiangnan sent my parents home first, helped them send their luggage upstairs, and I left with Lin Jiangnan after a few words. Back in the car, I took the fridge magnet and the carved cat out of the trunk.

"I was going to ask you out for dinner on the weekend and give it to you later." I say.

He took the gift, and when I said this, he handed it back to me, and said with a smile, "I'll give it to me for dinner that weekend." ”

"What?"

"If I take it now, won't it be equivalent to losing a meal?"

I smiled and pushed his hand back, "Give you shrewd." ”

The young man in the Indonesian wood carving shop was very careful, and he was afraid that the cat would be damaged on the road, so he wrapped layer after layer of newspaper and pasted one after another with adhesive strips.

"Just tear it apart."

"No, these Indonesian newspapers seem to be part of the gift." He still carefully ripped open each strip of glue and uncovered the newspaper as completely as possible. The cat peeked out of the newspaper, Lin Jiangnan took advantage of the dim light in the car to take a look, and then pulled the small red fish, "Is this my pig?" ”

"Pigs?"

"My cat's name is Pig."

I laughed, "Why do you give people such a nasty name?" ”

"When I first raised it, it was still young, and at that time it was still called Mimi, and then the more I ate, the fatter I was, the more lazy I was, the more lazy I was, the fatter I was, the fatter I was, so I changed my name to Pig, and this name was completely self-inflicted." Lin Jiangnan folded the newspaper and complained about his cat, "Anyway, if I call it, it won't ignore me, so it'll be as happy as I am." ”

"Even if it's called a pig, it sounds cute."

He put the carved wooden cat in front of the windshield and shook his head, "I'm a big man, and I call a cat a pig at home, don't you think the picture is weird?" ”

I made up my head and laughed, "It's a little." ”

"Thank you, this gift is lovely."

"You're welcome, gadgets, if you like it."

Lin Jiangnan asked me to fasten my seat belt, then started the car, released the handbrake and drove out, "In the past few days, I have been thinking from time to time about what you will bring to me." ”

"Did you guess?"

"Nope." He said.

"Actually, I don't either, I don't know what you like. Later, when I saw this cat, I thought it was very similar to your cat, so there must be a reason. ”

"Actually, I'll like whatever you bring me back."

"Is it like this? I knew I could buy some casually. Got you a bottle of mineral water from the airport. ”

"I like what you just said."

"Which one?"

"You said there was a reason to buy this cat." Lin Jiangnan stopped in front of the red light, and I saw a smile slowly blooming on his lips, "Sorry, thank you." ”

He cared about the mind behind the gift, and I didn't want to show it. I bit my nail and said with a smile: "We all do design like this, everything is habitually trying to dig out some meaning, even if you draw a circle casually, I can't wait to start with Fuxi gossip." If I bring you mineral water, maybe it's bigger. ”

He just smiled, and didn't seem to be at all in his heart, or he saw clearly what I wanted to hide and downplay.

The green light turned on, the car continued to move forward, the little red fish on the cat wood carving swayed back and forth with the car, Lin Jiangnan said: "I have to take this wood carving home, otherwise the fish will have to be dismantled by the pig in two days." ”

"Doesn't it like to move?"

"If you don't move, it's amazing." Lin Jiangnan turned his turn signal and said, "Oh yes, there is something I want to trouble you, I don't know if it's convenient for you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I'm going back to Xi'an for the New Year in a few days, can you help me take care of the pigs for a few days? It doesn't like to move, so it basically doesn't toss furniture, and it's quite regular to go to the toilet, but it will shed hair. After speaking, he hurriedly added: "If you mind, it's okay, if not, I'll find a pet store to foster you." ”

"No problem, I'm at home except for going to my parents' house on the 30th."

"That's great." Lin Jiangnan was very happy, as if he had a concern on his mind, "I'm worried that it will be scared in the pet store, don't look at its size, it's actually very timid, and I've never seen the world." ”

"But I haven't had a cat, what if I get thinner?"

"Then I really want to thank you. Raising a cat is very simple, unlike a dog, and you have to take it for a walk. Cats are more independent, and it is enough to comb them, scratch their necks, and hug them every day. Pigs are no longer kittens, not very clingy. ”

I heard him talk about his cat in a tone like a child, and I couldn't help but laugh, "How old is it?" ”

"Three years old."

"Is that the stray cat you adopted?"

"It's not. The pig should be my grandfather's cat, and its mother was given to my grandfather by my mother, called Cat Mao. ”

"Your family names cats are pretty arbitrary."

Lin Jiangnan smiled and nodded, "It's really true that you say that." ”

"You brought the pig from Xi'an?"

"Well, I secretly hid it in my bag and brought it by train, and I carried it in my arms when I passed through the security check, but fortunately it was lazy and motionless." He gave me a quick look and smiled, "You call him Piggy, which sounds cute." ”

I felt a little numb in my flesh, "Seriously, have you ever wondered if the reason why you call it and ignore you is because you don't like the name you give it?" ”

Lin Jiangnan parked the car downstairs in my house and nodded solemnly, "It's possible." ”

He helped me carry my luggage upstairs, and when Xu Yijing saw him send me back, he couldn't wait to write a 30,000-word observer article out of thin air, and greeted Lin Jiangnan: "Come in and sit down!" ”

"No, it's too late, you guys should rest early."

After Lin Jiangnan left, Xu Yijing dragged me into the house, didn't even bother to check his purchasing list, and said like a cannon: "No wonder I said I was going to pick you up and you said no, it was arranged for a long time!" Won't you just say no? It's still hidden. Your parents saw Lin Jiangnan, right? What do they say? Didn't you catch the two of you for interrogation? What do you say? ”

I buried my head in taking out all the things in the box, holding a bunch of skin care products and stuffing them into Xu Yijing's arms, "It's all yours, put it away." ”

"What about you?" She threw the pile on the table.

"Huh?"

"Don't pretend to have a bad signal with me."

"What do you say, friend, my parents are at home with others. The first time you went to my house, my parents asked you for a long time, why didn't you say that my parents had the heart to match the two of us? ”

"You touch your IQ and say, is this the same thing!" Xu Yijing glanced at me, then took a paper bag from the side of the coffee table and pushed it to me, "Yours." ”

"What's that?" I opened the bag and took a look, and it was a beautiful package, like a set of skincare products, "What do you mean?" ”

"I came home that day and saw it, and I put it in front of my house, and I still had a letter in it." Xu Yijing reached in and took out an envelope from the bag, and there was not a word on the envelope, "I'm sorry, I thought it was sent by Shao Jie's guy, so I opened it and looked at it." This thing was given to you by Lin Xu, I apologize to you, I guess there is no one at home, so I put it at the door. ”

I took the letter, looked at the envelope, which was nothing, sighed silently, and set it aside.

"What? Don't you take a look? ”

"I just have something I want to ask you." I pulled her to the couch and sat down, took out my phone, and showed her the two photos I took of Lin Su's husband in Bali.

Xu Yijing glanced at it and was puzzled, "What do you mean?" Did you fall in love at first sight? ”

"Seriously, I'm going to get down to business. This man is Lin Su's husband. ”

"Her husband?! The one next to that is definitely not Lin Subei. Xu Yijing's attention immediately shifted away from Lin Jiangnan, took my mobile phone, and took a closer look at the photo.

"You say, should I tell her?"

"Tell what, tell! Last time she caused you to be bullied by Cao Hui, you deserve it! Xu Yijing said angrily. I looked helpless and swept my gaze over the envelope, "I thought so too, but ......"

Xu Yijing glanced at me very clearly, "But you don't think she has the intention to harm you, right?" You don't know that her husband is cheating, but now that you know, you don't say that you feel that your conscience can't get by, but you don't know what to say. ”

"Oh yes!" I give her a thumbs up.

"Yes." Xu Yijing raised her phone again and looked at the couple in the photo, "Is her husband rich?" ”

"Company executives, it's okay. But that's not the point, is it? ”

"How is this not the point?!" Xu Yijing cleared her throat and gave me a lesson, "You tell Lin Su that she has to think about whether she wants to continue to live her life, and if not, then she has to consider the issue of property division!" Let me tell you, the richer a person is, the more he cares about his property, and thinks that all this is his contribution and labor income, and if he is divorced, he is an outsider, how can his wealth be distributed to outsiders, right? ”

"yes." I held my cheeks and nodded, "I understand the truth, but I need you to give me a conclusion now: is it better for Lin Su to know?" Still don't know better? ”

"Of course it's better to know!" Xu Yijing replied in the affirmative.

"Why?"

"Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. If you prepare early, you may be able to fight for more benefits for yourself, but it is better than the enemy only to find out the enemy situation when he kills in front of him, isn't that the same as being slaughtered by others? ”

"You're quite rational."

"Huh." Xu Yijing laughed disdainfully, "The other party has cheated, do you still want to talk to him about your feelings?" ”

My mobile phone suddenly shook in Xu Yijing's hand, she picked it up and looked at it, and immediately smiled ambiguously, "Yo, classmate Xiaolin sent a message, it's still a video." ”

I snatched my phone back, and Xu Yijing also came over, "Look, look." ”

I clicked on the video, it was his pig, lying on the sofa with his belly on his back, the camera slowly zoomed in, in the video, Lin Jiangnan called 'Pig Pig', and then the cat stretched his neck a little effortlessly to look at him, squinted his eyes slightly, and called lazily: "Meow~"

"Oh, hehe." Xu Yijing let out a villainous laugh in my ear, "Pig Pig~"

I "snapped" and pressed my phone, "Go, go, put away your skincare products!" ”
