House Dad's Literary Life

Chapter 137 – Not Just One Cat!

“Yang Yi and Xixi, I have a surprise for you!” Mo Fei was standing outside the car, holding a corrugated cardboard box in her arms. Her bright eyes and smile that showed neat and white teeth dazzled Yang Yi that he got a little distracted.

“What’s the surprise?” Xixi blinked her big eyes and asked expectantly.

Mo Xiaojuan appeared from behind, pushed Mo Fei and shouted, “Get in the car, get in the car first! Elder Sister, if you stay like this in public, are you not afraid of being secretly photographed?”

Mo Fei sat in the passenger seat, while Mo Xiaojuan and Xixi sat in the back.

“Look!” Mo Fei, who had just sat down and had barely fastened her seatbelt, couldn’t wait to reach into the corrugated cardboard box, and carried out a kitten that seemed to have been stained with ink.

The kitten looked like a tiger. Mo Fei was holding her with one hand around her belly and her little butt in the other. She turned her head nervously, opened her mouth and cried, “Meow!”1

She meowed in a kittenish tone2, it was so cute!

“Kitty?” Xixi in the back seat cried in surprise. The little girl covered her mouth, her big eyes filled with joy and incredulousness.

“A cat?” But Yang Yi reacted differently. He opened his mouth and asked.

It seemed that Yang Yi wasn’t pleasantly surprised, only surprised…

“Not just one!” Mo Fei transferred the kitten to her left hand, held her on her chest, and then fished another one out of the corrugated box with her right hand.

Okay, now there were two kittens meowing!

Wait! Yang Yi clearly heard another meow…

“There are three in all!” Mo Xiaojuan triumphantly added, “When I talked to Xiao Ai, she had already told others that she would give some away, and then there were only three left, but who made me have a good relationship with Xiao Ai, I can choose…”3

Yang Yi felt he was going to collapse a little.

Isn’t one kitten already too many? Unexpectedly, there are three at once?

Anyway, why three? Isn’t it good to have two? Don’t you know that odd numbers can’t be symmetrical?

“I like them, I like them! Quick, Aunt Xiaojuan, help me bring me one so that I can take a look!” Xixi cried out anxiously. She was strapped to the child’s seat and was eagerly looking forward to seeing the kitten!

Mo Xiaojuan held the slightly larger kitten that Mo Fei had rescued before, and Xixi was delighted.

The little girl looked at the tender and delicate kitten. She was a little worried that she would accidentally hurt the kitten. At the same time, she was a little afraid that the kitten would bite her – the nearly two-month-old kitten had baby teeth.

But Xixi really liked her. She couldn’t help but stretched out her little hand and touch the kitten’s forehead. The kitten’s fur was soft and comfortable!

After being touched, the kitten narrowed her eyes and raised her head.

This scared Xixi, and she quickly withdraw her hand.

“It’s okay, she won’t bite you, she’s very happy that you touch her!” Mo Xiaojuan said with a smile.

Xixi began to happily play with the kitten, and the kitten rubbed her soft ears in her palms. The little girl blossomed with delight.

“You don’t like cats?” Mo Fei’s joy passed, and she keenly discovered that Yang Yi was not as excited as her daughter.

Yang Yi smiled awkwardly and said, “It’s not that I don’t like cats.” It’s just… it’s just that they shed fur.”

He really didn’t like or hates them. For pets like cats that need affection, Yang Yi refused to get close to them in his previous life, for fear that they would be as troublesome as a woman in the future. It was the same with dogs. They all shed fur and often get dirty.

“Shed fur?” Mo Fei understood. She remembered the conversation she had with Yang Yi when she arranged the vase. She smiled until her eyes looked like a curved crescent moon. “Don’t worry, this kind of British Shorthair shed very little fur!”

They will still shed…

“Besides, shedding is a normal thing!” Mo Fei smiled. “We women have such long hair and we often drop some on the bed! But I don’t think much of it, and the room is still clean!”

You really have the nerve to say that…

Yang Yi was speechless. When Mo Fei was at her house, there was probably a nanny cleaning up. After coming to his house, wasn’t Yang Yi the one doing all the cleaning?

Every day, Yang Yi has to clean the drain in the bathroom. Otherwise, it would be blocked by a mass of black hair, and the bathroom would be flooded with water when someone took a bath.

Not to mention the bedroom. Before, when Mo Fei wasn’t there, Xixi’s long hair was often found here and there. Yang Yi suspected that women were not made of water, but made of hair.4

Mo Fei’s so-called “clean” was the result of his hard work!

However, there was no need to care about these. Yang Yi smiled reluctantly and said, “It doesn’t matter. I don’t care really about it. Xixi and you like them, so let’s keep them!”

Anyway, there were already two creatures that shed in the house that needed to be cleaned up. Since there were two, why not add three more?

Mo Fei giggled. She was satisfied with Yang Yi’s tolerance, just like when she arranged the vase before. Although Yang Yi was bothered by it, he still generously gave in to her.

However, Mo Fei wasn’t a willful person either. When Yang Yi gave her a point, Mo Fei would give back or repay two points.

“Now the kittens are still young. Let’s keep them for a month or two. When they grow up, we’ll put them in the coffee shop and let them play by themselves.” Mo Fei said softly to Yang Yi, “Let me tell you something, there are some coffee shops on the coastal that use cats as the theme, attracting a lot of customers.”

Yang Yi certainly knew what Mo Fei was talking about. Cat-themed coffee shops was designed in attracting young literary and artist youths who like to pet cats. He has heard a lot about it in his previous lives, not to mention cat themes, there was even maid theme…

…….

Now that they were going to have a cat, the owners have to buy all the equipment they need.

Under the direction of Mo Xiaojuan, who had already inquired before, Yang Yi drove to the nearby pet street.5

Mo Fei’s identity was special, so she couldn’t get out of the car. She stayed in the car with Xixi to tease the kittens. Yang Yi followed Mo Xiaojuan to buy things.

“There are a lot to buy. Xiao Ai gave us the food bowls, but the cat food is only enough for a week, so you have to buy more! You also need to buy toilet mats for the litter box. You don’t want the kittens making your house smelly, do you? All these have to be taught from an early age!” Mo Xiaojuan walked in front, holding a note, talking as she walked.

Of course, she wasn’t a qualified cat owner. These were all the lessons prepared for her by the reluctant Xiao Ai.

“Cat cage is definitely needed. If they don’t behave in the future, you can put them in for punishment!” Mo Xiaojuan said gleefully, “and cat beds, cat climbing frame, and their toys. Oh yeah, buy cat scratching board, cat nail Clippers, cat brush…”

Yang Yi’s head ached hearing this. It was so troublesome to keep a cat.

He didn’t know that Xiao Ai had vaccinated the kittens already, otherwise, there would be more tedious things to do.

While Yang Yi and Mo Xiaojuan were shopping in the pet store, Mo Xiaojuan suddenly looked around, stretched out her hand and pushed Yang Yi, urging him to go to a corner where they could talk quietly.

“Brother-in-law, are you rich?” Mo Xiaojuan looked at Yang Yi expectantly and asked.
