C6 Short-tailed Cat
After leaving Bai Ling's house, Lin Tian went straight home.
He walked briskly and hummed a happy tune. When he thought of the twenty thousand yuan in his account, he was overjoyed.
In this life, he had never had more than 20,000 yuan in savings.
For his family, it was almost half a year's income.
On the way, he met several villagers who were preparing to farm.
"Lin Tian, have you eaten? You're in good spirits and recovering well!"
Everyone was a little surprised to see him in high spirits. However, their reactions were very enthusiastic and they were sincerely happy for Lin Tian.
Most of the people in the Lin Village were very simple and honest.
Lin Tian stopped in front of his house.
His house was a two-story Western-style house. The building was not tiled and looked very rough.
The yard was surrounded by a fence made of bamboo. The fence was covered with all kinds of vines and crops. There were Dutch beans, pumpkins, cantaloupes, grapes, eggs, and so on.
These crops all looked listless and lifeless.
Lin Tian sighed to himself. His mother's talent in planting was not high at all.
"I'll find a chance to throw these into the Bead Space and improve them."
Lin Tian remembered this in his heart, then pushed open the gate and walked in.
On the left side of their courtyard, there were Dragon Eye Trees and Mango Trees. On the right side, there was a bamboo cage surrounded by chickens and ducks. However, there were not many chickens and ducks inside.
Yesterday, after Lin Tian woke up, his mother was overjoyed and killed a hen that laid eggs for him to nourish his body.
Now, there was only a rooster and a duck left in the cage.
When Lin Tian walked in, it was already dawn. The yellow light of the sun slanted through the fence and hit the people at the gate, giving her a faint halo.
It was Lin Xiaoguo. She took a small desk and crossed the threshold. She was sitting on a short stool, facing the morning light, doing her homework.
On the table, other than the homework, there was also a small plate of white pumpkin seeds.
Lin Tian saw that there were a lot of pumpkin shells scattered on the table. He knew Lin Xiaoguo's habits. When she was bored doing her homework, she would crack melon seeds to relieve her boredom.
"Two orioles cry green willows, and a row of egrets ascend to the sky..."
Lin Xiaoguo was muttering to herself at this moment and did not notice that Lin Tian had already walked in.
On the threshold beside Lin Xiaoguo, there was a pale yellow cat.
The cat stretched lazily, stretching its body into a horizontal line.
Its characteristic was that its tail was very short, like a small ball adorning its back.
Lin Xiaoguo called this cat Xiaobao.
Xiaobao was a cat that came to their house by chance last year.
It was a tsundere cat, and only treated Lin Xiaoguo a little intimately. Perhaps that was why Lin Xiaoguo had insisted on keeping it.
It didn't like Lin Tian very much. Every time Lin Tian got close to it, it bared its teeth at him. Its attitude was very bad.
However, Lin Tian was also very rude to it. If he saw Xiaobao causing trouble at home, he would mercilessly chase it away.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Lin Tian felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
This was the feeling of home.
Just as Lin Tian approached, Xiaobao suddenly moved.
Its nose quickly sniffed a few times, then it suddenly turned its head and looked at the thing in Lin Tian's hand.
Then, with lightning speed, it got up and rushed towards Lin Tian.
Seeing its aggressive posture, the corner of Lin Tian's eye twitched.
This cat really knew how to cause trouble. It wouldn't start a war with him, would it?
He had been lying in bed for more than a month. Recently, he had not offended this little ancestor!
Who knew that Xiaobao didn't have any intention of starting a war with him, but instead threw himself into the peanut in his hand.
It suddenly stood up and used its claws to grab the peanut, as if it wanted to snatch it away.
Lin Tian was unhappy when he saw this. It was not easy for him to get these peanuts back from Pei Lei.
Pei Lei didn't let Bai Ling cook all the peanuts. She still had some left and planned to take them back to show the chef how to make them the best.
Lin Tian tried his best to get a little bit back. He wanted to go home and share this good news with his family as soon as possible.
This stinky cat actually coveted his precious peanuts?
Lin Tian put the peanut back on his back, letting Xiaobao miss him. Then, out of habit, he kicked at Xiaobao with one foot.
"You stinky short tail! You actually stole my things! You're getting bolder and bolder. If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll go to heaven."
Although his movements were exaggerated, he didn't really mean to hurt Xiaobao. Xiaobao agilely dodged Lin Tian's kick and ran behind him. He continued to dig at the peanuts without giving up.
Lin Tian raised the peanut high above his head, making it impossible for Xiaobao to touch it again.
"Scram!"
Lin Tian shouted at Xiaobao proudly.
Xiaobao realized that he couldn't reach the peanuts, so he reluctantly left Lin Tian's side and climbed up the dragon eye tree like a wisp of smoke.
"Little guy, you want to fight me?"
Lin Tian was a little surprised to see that Xiaobao's eyes had never left the peanut.
In the past, Xiaobao had never eaten peanuts and was rarely so excited. Its behavior today was very strange.
Could it be that it knew that the peanut was a good thing?
"Big brother, why did you go out so early?"
Lin Xiaoguo's voice brought Lin Tian's thoughts back to reality. He saw Lin Xiaoguo put down the homework in her hands and ran towards him with a smile.
"Have you finished your homework?"
Lin Tian touched Lin Xiaoguo's soft long hair and smiled dotingly.
Lin Xiaoguo nodded and replied seriously, "I still have ten pages to finish. There are still twelve days before school starts. I can finish it."
Lin Tian smiled and said, "Then don't write it for now. Brother has good news for you. Come, follow me in."
"What good news?"
There was a trace of anticipation on Lin Xiaoguo's cute face. Lin Tian smiled but did not say anything as he brought her into the room.
"Mom is in the kitchen. Dad went to work."
Lin Xiaoguo saw that Lin Tian did not tell her the answer, so she obediently told him where her family went.
Lin Tian walked into the kitchen and saw a busy figure.
It was his mother, Wang Cuijuan.
Wang Cuijuan was in her forties, and her back was slightly hunched. She was wearing an apron as she washed the water tank in the room.
Lin Tian called out.
"Mom!"
Wang Cuijuan quickly turned around. The moment she saw Lin Tian, a trace of nervousness appeared on her face.
"Tian, where did you go? You disappeared early in the morning!
You just woke up yesterday, and your body hasn't recovered yet, so don't run around. Stay at home and sleep as much as you can.
Breakfast is very important. If you don't eat breakfast before nine o'clock, it will hurt your stomach. I will make you a bowl of noodles. You will be able to eat it in a few minutes. "
Hearing his mother's concern, Lin Tian quickly changed the topic.
"Mom, don't worry about it for now. I ate breakfast at Bai Ling's house. I have good news for you."
Wang Cuijuan was stunned for a moment before asking, "What good news?"
Lin Tian waved the peanut in his hand, his tone full of joy.
"I found a buyer for our peanut!"
Wang Cuijuan was stunned and said in shock, "How is this possible?"
