The thing that he had discussed with Mo Xiaojuan became the second thing that Yang Yi had hidden from Murphy …
Well, it didn't matter if he had too many debts. It didn't matter if he hid one or two things from her. As long as he didn't do anything wrong to Murphy or his own conscience, Yang Yi could still face it calmly.
Yang Yi didn't have to worry too much about this. He basically left it to Mo Xiaojuan, and he only had to pay for it.
Yang Yi liked to leave professional things to professionals.
But there were some things that Yang Yi had to do even if he wasn't a professional. For example, building a nest for the new kittens in the house, building a cat tree …
Because there were three kittens, the cat tree that Yang Yi and the others chose was relatively large. In its original form, it looked like a building in Monument Valley. But before it was assembled, it was just a piece of plank, a tube of cardboard wrapped with hemp rope, and a piece of flannelette.
What Yang Yi needed to do was to assemble it in a corner of the living room for the owners to play with in the future!
"There is no justice! A cat can enjoy such luxurious treatment! "Yang Yi sighed secretly. He was tying the soft flannelette hammock.
There were a total of three hammocks on the cat tree. Some were tied low, and some were tied high, but they were all like swings, swaying.
Yang Yi felt that if he became a cat, like Zheng Tan, sleeping in a hammock with his paws under his belly and his eyes closed, it would be very comfortable!
On the cat tree, there was a small house similar to the Great Wall. It had openings on both sides and was at a medium height. It was said that cats liked to climb into these small dark houses, and the smaller they were, the more they liked to climb into them.
At the very top, there was a platform for cats to jump onto. In winter, they could install cat nests made of flannel. That way, they could jump up step by step and nestle comfortably, looking down at the poop-scoopers with disdain …
However, although Yang Yi was secretly muttering about these cats' good lives, he still welcomed their arrival in his heart. Because Murphy and Xi Xi were very happy!
"Meow meow ~"
"Meow meow ~"
Two strange meows, one big and one small, were heard, but they weren't meows of kittens. Instead, it was Mo Three Year Old and Xi Four Year Old who were playing with the kittens in the corrugated cardboard box.
"Mom, can I hug the kittens?" Xi Xi's two big eyes seemed to twinkle like little stars as she looked at the kittens happily.
"Sure!" Murphy gently pulled apart the kittens that were huddled together and took out her favorite one.
The remaining two kittens saw that their companions had been picked up, so they raised their heads and meowed. No one knew if they were meowing, worried about their companions, or envious of their companions' treatment. They also wanted to be picked up and touched by the poop scooper!
Xi Xi stood up nervously. Although she had been looking forward to hugging the kitten, when it was time to do it, the little girl was a little scared and nervous.
"I'm scared." Xi Xi was so anxious that she wanted to cry. She stamped her feet and said to her mother.
"Don't be scared. The kitten is very gentle. Come, sit down first." Murphy smiled as she guided the little girl. "You use both hands like Mom and hug it under its armpits."
Xi Xi did as she was told. Although the little girl was so nervous that her body was stiff when the kitten was handed to her by her mother, the kitten stayed in her arms obediently and even turned its head to look at her flexibly. Xi Xi was very happy.
"Mom, look, it's not scared!" Xi Xi said happily. Of course, she still didn't dare to move at all.
"Of course, it likes you very much!" Murphy said with a smile.
Then, Murphy taught Xi Xi how to stroke the kitten.
"Use one hand to hug its stomach, then use your right hand to scratch its head, especially behind its ears, and here, under its neck." Murphy smiled. "Look, it likes it when you touch it like this!"
Xi Xi used her little finger to gently scratch the kitten behind its ears. The kitten was so comfortable that it closed its eyes.
"How do you know it likes it?" Xi Xi asked, a little confused.
"Look, its tail is already up and swaying gently. This means that it feels very happy and is acting coquettishly with you!" Murphy said with a smile. (Note 1)
The mother and daughter played with the kitten for a while. Xi Xi couldn't hold it for too long, so she handed the kitten back to her mother and played with the other two kittens.
But at this time, Murphy suddenly thought of something. She smiled and shouted in the direction of Yang Yi, "Yang Yi, come here!"
Maybe Murphy was afraid of scaring the kitten so she didn't shout very loudly, or maybe Yang Yi didn't hear her because of the noise from the TV. Yang Yi was busy assembling the cat tree and didn't move.
"Xi Xi, go and call your PaPa over!" Murphy held the kitten and pointed to her daughter.
Xi Xi reluctantly looked away from the kitten. She ran over and shouted like her mother, "Yang Yi, come here!"
Hearing her daughter call him that, Murphy chuckled. Her smile was like a flower.
Yang Yi was pulled over by his daughter in confusion. As he walked over, he said, "Xixi, Daddy told you to remember. Every time you finish playing with the kitten, you have to wash your hands, and you have to wash them with soap."
Murphy patted the space beside her and asked Yang Yi to sit down.
In fact, it was a little dirty to sit directly on the ground …
But Yang Yi still sat down. Xi Xi saw this and quickly squeezed between her father and mother. She sat down close to them, forcing Yang Yi to move his butt to make some space. Otherwise, the little guy would be squashed.
"There are three kittens here!" Murphy said with a smile. "Xi Xi, me, and you. The three of us, each name a cat we like, okay?"
"Okay, okay!" Xi Xi raised her hand excitedly. She pointed to the smallest one in the box and said, "I like it the most. I want to call it Xiao Guai."
She had just held the biggest one, but she still felt that it was too heavy and didn't like it. The smallest one felt the best, and it was the most docile in Xi Xi's hands. It lay there obediently and let the little girl touch it!
Such an obedient kitten should be called Xiao Guai!
Murphy nodded. She combed the fur of the kitten in her arms and said excitedly, "Then I want to name this one. It's called Little Gray, because its fur is grayish-blue."
Uh, then why not call it Little Gray …
Or Big Gray Blue? Because it was the biggest of the three kittens!
Yang Yi secretly criticized Murphy's naming skills, but he didn't have time to think too much. Murphy was urging him to name the remaining kitten!
Xi Xi also looked at her father with her eyes wide open. She was very curious about what her father would name it!
Yang Yi actually couldn't think of a name, but he couldn't persuade Murphy. Moreover, this was a "big event" for the whole family. Yang Yi couldn't find an excuse to avoid it!
He still had to seriously consider how to name it.
Yang Yi picked up the remaining kitten and tried to touch it. It was a soft little guy, and its fur was actually very soft. Looking at it opening its pink little mouth to meow at him, Yang Yi unexpectedly found that he actually quite liked this feeling.
Kittens were the cutest!
So, what name should he give it?
(Note 1: Cats are different from dogs. When a cat wags its tail widely, it means that it is very anxious. When it wags its tail slightly, it means that it is interested in something. If it wags its tail to its owner, it means that it trusts the owner very much and is acting spoiled ~)
