Chapter 31 Niuniu’s Kitten Tudou (additional updates if the ticket is broken)
Driving on the road, Wang Fan took out his phone and called Barbie. Just as the bell rang, Barbie on the other side answered, "Hey, my love, I'm back, you come over for dinner." Really? We are going to eat dumplings tonight."
Barbie on the other side of the phone hesitated and said, "I won't go tonight. I will go there to officially visit my uncle and aunt tomorrow."
Wang Fan was a little disappointed. He couldn't see her today, but she was right. A formal visit shouldn't be taken lightly. "Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow. I'm driving, so I won't say more." After that, Wang Fan hung up. Got the phone.
"Who is Xiaofan talking to? Mom didn't understand a word he said."
Wang Fan did not answer, but asked his mother, "Mom, can you accept finding a foreign wife for you?"
My mother didn’t even think about it before she said, “That’s okay! I haven’t read the news, but they say that there are 30 million bachelors in the country who can’t find a wife. Mom doesn’t have to choose, as long as you like it.”
"Xiaofan, are you reliable?" My sister was a little worried. She was afraid that Wang Fan was being deceived because of his young age. He was no longer what he was before. After all, he had a big ranch.
"Haha, look at how caring you are. She and I have just fallen in love, and we don't know how many years it will take to get married! But I told her that she will come to visit tomorrow, and you can see what my vision is like." Wang Fan was a little proud. , no matter what, Barbie can be considered a great beauty, and she can show it to her family.
Niu Niu chewed on a finger, not understanding what a foreign wife was. She thought for a long time and said, "Who is the foreign wife? Can you bring something delicious?"
Hahaha, everyone in the car was amused. The car drove into Great Falls, which can be considered a big city in Montana. One good thing is that there are Chinese supermarkets, and non-staple foods such as tofu and dried beans are available here. Also on sale is the legendary hot sauce, which costs less than ten yuan a bottle in China, but sells for five dollars here, and there is an endless stream of foreigners buying it.
Wang Fan took his mother's hand and said coquettishly like a child, "Mom, I want to eat dumplings, stuffed with leeks and three delicacies."
My mother poked Wang Fan's head with her finger and said, "Look, what time is it now? Are you in a hurry to eat tonight? If you want me to see, buy all the ingredients. It will be just in time to eat tomorrow, isn't your girlfriend here?"
I glanced at the clock hanging in the supermarket. It was already half past two. I was really in a hurry. It would be past three o'clock when I got home at the earliest. I still had to make noodles and mix stuffing. I would starve to death when I could eat.
He could only sigh in disappointment, but Wang Fan thought of the Chinese restaurant where he took Barbie to eat last time and wondered if there were dumplings.
"Mom, let's have dinner in the city! I just want to introduce you to a fellow countryman who owns a restaurant here and is also from the north."
I haven’t waited for my mother to reply! Dad spoke first, "I think it's okay. I can still make two cups." Dad just has this hobby. If he doesn't drink some for a day, he will feel uncomfortable all over.
"Drink, drink, drink, you know how to drink. It doesn't cost anything to eat out!" My mother said like a machine gun. She was stunned by what my father said and looked a little embarrassed.
Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel, Wang Fan quickly settled the matter, "It's not much money for a meal. I thought there would be someone to talk to you in the future, so you wouldn't be bored!"
Seeing that the old couple stopped talking, Wang Fan hurriedly pushed the shopping cart to buy things. His mother wanted to find someone to bargain with, but Wang Fan pulled her back. With her mother's bargaining methods, she was really afraid that the store clerk would call the police.
After shopping for more than an hour, I finally prepared all the ingredients, including fish, chicken, and a cart full of tofu. It will be a treat when Barbie comes tomorrow. Wang Fan did not expect that his mother would pay so much attention to it.
After putting the purchased items into the car, Wang Fan drove to the fellow's restaurant. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that the business was not bad, and there were several tables of foreigners eating before dinner time!
The fellow boss I met last time was settling accounts at the bar. When he saw Wang Fan coming, bringing his family with him, he immediately ran out to greet him.
Wang Fan remembered last time that this fellow said that his surname was Liu, and his name was Liu Qi, so he quickly called out, "Brother Liu, I'm here again."
Liu Qi came out and said happily, "Okay, I've brought all my uncles and aunts here. Don't say anything. Come home with me to eat. My old man is lonely at home alone. It just so happens that your family is coming from China." My old man must be extremely happy."
Wang Fan was a little embarrassed and said, "Brother Liu, is it appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate about this? It's just a stranger. If you hadn't brought a big boy with you last time, my brother would have taken you home to drink. Xiao Li's store will be left to you. Keep an eye on it!" A relative is here." Liu Qi pulled Wang Fan and walked out of the store. It was hard to refuse the warm welcome. Wang Fan had no choice but to drive and follow after telling his family.
When we drove to the farm on the outskirts of Great Falls, we stopped the car. It turned out that Liu Qi's family had arrived. The farm was not entirely a greenhouse. Through the cloth, we could see that it was full of vegetables. It turned out that Liu Qi's family was composed of two men. , my daughter lives in school and only goes home on Saturdays and Sundays. There are very few outsiders coming to the house, and only a few hired helpers help take care of it.
Mr. Liu was young and looked to be less than seventy. It was rare to see a fellow villager who was very enthusiastic. He was busy greeting Wang Fan and his family, and even asked Liu Qi to cook. His mother kicked Liu Qi out of the kitchen to go with his sister. While cooking, the men drank tea and chatted outside. Mr. Liu came here after his retirement. He was not familiar with the place here, so he was very suffocated. Unfortunately, there were some places where he could make some vegetables, otherwise he would suffocate to death.
Liu Qi explained, "My dad had a hard time talking to the old people from the south of the country, and he couldn't even eat. He stopped contacting them after a few times."
Mr. Liu said stubbornly, "Don't mention them. They don't drink and can't understand what they are saying."
Wang Fan smiled and said quickly, "That's just right, my dad wants to take a few sips!"
"Okay, have a couple of sips, Xiao Qi! Go and get the Moutai I brought here. Let's have two drinks with Brother Wang today." Mr. Liu was so happy that he finally had someone to drink with him.
The food and wine were quickly put on the table. They were all home-cooked dishes with similar tastes to northerners, and the food tasted delicious. Little Niuniu had a small appetite and was full after just one bowl, so she ran to play in the yard by herself. My sister went to take a look worriedly, but was persuaded by Liu Qi, "It's okay, the courtyard door is closed! There are helpers in the courtyard, nothing will happen." Just saying that, my sister was a little distracted while eating. Then I went out to find Niuniu.
As we chatted about family matters at the wine table, we found out that Liu Qi was one of the earlier ones to go abroad, leaving his wife and children behind. Later, when he got rich, he wanted to bring his family back, but unfortunately his wife had already run away with someone else, leaving only his daughter with him. took it.
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Wang Fan saw that they were drinking more and more and took the initiative to persuade them. Since they were all from the north, Mr. Liu would no longer encourage them to drink.
Before leaving, Wang Fan saw Niu Niu holding something dark like a little clay monkey, so he asked her, "Niu Niu, what is that in your arms? Is it dirty?"
Niu Niu handed over the black thing she was holding in her arms, "Uncle, look, Niu Niu rescued a kitten. It looks thin. Can we take it home and raise it?"
Wang Fan was a little disgusted that the kitten was soiling the car, but seeing Niu Niu's pleading eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he could only ask Liu Qi for a cardboard box, put the kitten in and take it away.
"Great, Tudou and I can play together!" Niu Niu's words made Wang Fan stunned for a long time, and then he realized that the little girl named the cat Tudou. Not to mention it was quite vivid, and it was covered in mud. Just like potatoes dug out of the ground.
When they returned to the home at Bao Xiong Ranch, their parents were very satisfied with the big house. They each found a room and left the master bedroom to Wang Fan. Niu Niu was being dragged to take a bath reluctantly, holding the cat in her hands. Not letting go, Wang Fan said he wanted to give the kitten a bath, so he took it over. When Wang Fan gave the cat a bath, Wang Fan looked at the cat that had washed away the dirt in surprise. Besides being thin, it actually looked a bit like an Egyptian cat. The brown color mixed with golden patterns was quite beautiful. It was struggling in Wang Fan's hands. Trying to escape the shower.
"Rude bear, you pinched me!"
Hearing this, Wang Fan almost threw it out. He had never heard of any cat that could talk.
"Boy, this cat is too noisy. Talk to her! I've helped you learn her language and tell her to stop making noise. It's so noisy that my brain hurts." Lu's extremely bored voice came out, and Wang Fan said Only then did I know what was going on.
"Potato, what are you? A cat demon, a monster or something else?"
"Tudou, how dare you call the cat god Best's human messenger Tudou. If it weren't for the sake of that little girl saving my life, I would scratch you to death right now." The skinny cat was still there in Wang Fan's eyes. He struggled in his hands and was showered on his head again.
Wang Fan's face darkened, and he said gloomily, "I don't care what kind of messenger you are, if you dare to hurt my family, believe it or not, I will kill you now."
Under Wang Fan's threat, she finally gave in, "No, I won't hurt your family. On the contrary, I will protect them. I owe that little girl my life. How could I hurt her?"
"Really?" Wang Fan still didn't believe it.
"I swear in the name of the cat god Best, I will never harm your family, and I will protect them until they die of natural causes."
This was the first time Wang Fan saw a cat. He stretched out his paw and swore, so he just believed her. That little girl Niuniu was still waiting outside to play with the kitten!
Wang Fan helped the washed cat dry its fur and said with a smile, "Tudou, go find Niuniu and play by yourself!" After saying that, he walked out of the bathroom with a smile, and only heard the ripping sound of the towel being torn into pieces.
In this way, Wang Fan's family has an additional member, the Egyptian cat Tudou, who officially becomes a member of the family.
