Chapter 54: Big Orange
"Look, which one do you like?" Grandpa Jiangshan said.
He put the five kittens in his arms on the table, and as soon as they let go, the kittens immediately began to run out.
Just so that Jiang Xiao and them can see clearly, the five kittens have different colors and colors, there are black and white cow cats, and there are orange and white orange cats.
The temperament is also different, some run out, and some lie down on the spot peacefully.
A little orange cat wearing little white socks stumbled into Jiang Xiao's arms, Jiang Xiaoyi reached out and hugged it, and smiled at it.
"That's it."
In the arms of the stranger, the little orange cat struggled unhappily, just revealing four pink and tender little meat pads, Jiang Xiao loved it very much, and pinched it.
The feel of QQ's bouncing, pink bubbles suddenly popped up in my heart.
This little orange cat happened to be the kitten that Jiang Xiao and they came out to greet them when they entered the yard.
What a fate!
Jiang Xiao said while touching the kitten and feeling the plush feeling in his hand.
Jiang Mei and Jiang Chuan on the side also liked this cat, but unfortunately they were a little timid and didn't dare to stretch out their hands.
Jiang Xiao hugged the little orange cat and motioned to Jiang Mei and Jiang Chuan to look over, "Xiaomei Xiaochuan, how about we want this cat?" ”
"Good!" Jiang Mei looked at the kitten with a smile.
Jiang Chuan also nodded, he also boldly stretched out his hand to touch the kitten, Jiang Xiao took the kitten's paw into his arms, did not let it catch Jiang Mei Jiangchuan, and let them touch it with confidence.
Feeling the feeling of fluffy and soft, the two of them suddenly squinted their eyes with laughter, and they couldn't see their teeth when they couldn't see their eyes.
Grandpa Jiang also nodded, and said to Grandpa Jiangshan, "That's it." ”
As he spoke, he opened the small cloth bag in his hand and handed it to Grandpa Jiang Shan, Jiang Xiao took a look, it was a small bag of rice, white flowers.
"Okay, now that the kitten belongs to yours, let's give it a name." Grandpa Jiangshan took the rice and said with a smile.
Grandpa Jiang looked at Jiang Xiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, it's up to you to choose the name." ”
"Okay." Jiang Xiao immediately lowered his head to look at the kitten, and observed quite seriously.
Well...... It's an orange cat.
It's small...
So let's call it...
"Big orange! It's called Big Orange! ”
Grandpa Jiang: "??? ”
He regretted it, so he should have chosen the name himself.
As soon as Jiang Xiao came up with a name, he lowered his head and smiled at the kitten in his arms and called: "Big orange, big orange, big orange, you can call it big orange, big orange, big ......orange, big
The kitten didn't understand Jiang Xiao's soul-like call, but struggled uncomfortably and barked.
Jiang Xiao immediately shouted excitedly; "Look, Grandpa, it's all agreed to call it the name Big Orange!!"
Grandpa Jiang: "......"
Grandpa Jiangshan on the side was so smiling that his stomach hurt.
Grandpa Jiang Shan stayed with them for a while, drank tea for a while, and told some precautions for raising cats before Jiang Xiao and the others left.
Out of Grandpa Jiangshan's house, Jiang Xiao hugged the big orange and asked Grandpa Jiang curiously: "Grandpa, why do you want to bring a bag of rice?" ”
Grandpa Jiang put his hands behind his back, walked slowly, and said mysteriously.
"This is the rule left by the ancestors, you have to bring a bowl of rice to the master's family."
"Oh." Jiang Xiao nodded.
"It's a cat, is it a dowry for a cat?"
She knew a little about this when she watched other people's popular science, and some people would give the master's family some salt and some fish, but she didn't expect to encounter it.
"You know all this, huh?" Grandpa Jiang reached out and touched Jiang Xiao's head in some surprise.
After bringing the big orange back to the house, Jiang Xiao and the others immediately got a cat nest for it.
It is to rob the old hen's new nest and put on the old clothes again, and it is a cat nest.
However, the big orange prefers a boxy wooden box, which it retracts into as soon as it arrives in its new home.
"And get it a litter box." Jiang Xiao pondered and said.
"Sister, what is the litter box used for?" Jiang Mei Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xiao squatted aside and looked at the big orange nested in the wooden box, and asked puzzledly.
The three of them were like thieves, squatting in a row, staring at Big Orange's every move with shining eyes.
"The litter box is the place where the big orange will be used to poop and go to the toilet in the future."
However, it is impossible to buy cat litter, so you can only dig a little sand and use it.
As he spoke, Jiang Xiao immediately got up, took out a small bucket from the small warehouse, took a small shovel, put on a straw hat and went out.
"Grandpa, I'll go to the river and get some cat litter for Big Orange."
"What cat litter?" Grandpa Jiang in the room touched his head puzzled, and no longer paid attention to it, and continued to talk to Grandma Jiang on the bed to relieve his boredom.
"Old woman, you say, this little one has not inherited our outstanding literary talent at all, and like his son and daughter-in-law, he has no depth in choosing a name, and he is actually called Big Orange..."
Grandma Jiang pursed her lips and smiled, the corners of her eyes were crooked, and she looked at Grandpa Jiang who was complaining gently.
Obviously, he said a lot before taking a nap, saying that Jiang Xiaohe inherited his intelligence and wit, and he was able to stand alone at a young age, but now he has become a small elementary school and does not have his literary talents.
Is the good one inherited from the next generation, and the bad one is inherited from the son?
Jiang Xiao got out of the house and walked downstream of the river.
The upstream of their previous laundry was paved with cement, which was clean and non-slip, and they could rub their clothes.
Now she is going to the lower reaches of the river, where the river washes down the sand all the year round, just enough to make cat litter for the big orange.
Clearing away the messy weeds, Jiang Xiao jumped off the riverbed, upstream is a five-meter-wide river, here it is only three meters wide, both sides of the river are wide, are washed down sediment, fine and soft.
Jiang Xiao dug up the shovel, and "swished" that he dug a full bucket.
After digging out a bucket full of sediment, Jiang Xiao estimated that it was enough for the big orange to use for a long time, so he stopped, planning to go to the river to wash his hands and feet and go home.
When I arrived at the river, I found that under the mossy stones soaked in the river, there were water snails, dragging heavy shells and crawling one by one.
In the shallow water, there are also small clams that open their shells, revealing tender white flesh, lying on the fine sand, and letting the river wash away.
Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up, and he was suddenly happy.
It's time for extra dinner tonight!
Whether it's stir-fried snails or clam soup, it's delicious.
She immediately threw half of the sand that was full of sand, then rolled up her sleeves and trousers, and went down the river.
Reaching out and picking up these small water snails and clams one by one, and throwing them into a small bucket with half of the sand.
While picking it up, Jiang Xiao thought that in his previous memory, there were many children who came here to pick up water snails when he was a child, but now that he looks full of them and has not been picked up, it seems that no one has come for a long time.
