Chapter 189 Prepare for surprise
Chapter 189 Prepare for surprise
They had clearly agreed to buy a rabbit before they went out, but when the two little kids passed a chinchilla store, they couldn't move.
A chubby chinchilla in the wooden cabinet completely attracted their attention.
When his sister asked to buy something, Ni Jia naturally did not agree immediately. After all, there was only one street for the flower and bird market, and if things continued like this, his home would really become a zoo.
In the extreme choice of two, Ni Jia told them that they could only choose one to take home between the rabbit and the chinchilla.
In the end, the two sisters unanimously voted for Totoro, and Li Yucheng specially ordered a large cabinet to place this little thing.
I also bought a bunch of hay and grain feed to feed the two little kids.
Because chinchillas are vegetarians, their poop doesn't smell bad, so Ni Jia accepted it easily.
The only thing she insisted on was body color. As long as she didn't buy gray, everything else was fine. Gray looked too much like a mouse, and she couldn't stand it.
Finally they bought a fat white chinchilla. Ni Hao liked it very much. He held it in his hands and named it "Ice Cream" on the spot.
Since they were already there, Li Yucheng took them on a tour of the market and introduced no less than twenty species of animals.
Ni Jia’s prediction was correct. The elder sister asked about everything she saw, while the younger sister wanted everything she saw.
But Li Yucheng felt that it didn't matter. At worst, he could move to the manor in Chonggang. The place was big and he could raise peacocks there.
There was a meeting in the morning, so Li Yucheng had to leave at the appointed time. He waited for the driver to come over at the intersection, and during that time he kept unconsciously going to the seafood store.
"Ice cream~" Haohao passed hay into the cage, and seeing that the chinchilla was unmoved, he asked his sister in confusion: "Why doesn't it eat?"
This is a crossroads and the wind is quite strong. When they stand, Li Yucheng and Ni Jia block the wind for them, but when they squat, there is no wind.
"Maybe it's cold." Ni Hao said and moved to the side, using his body to block the wind for "Ice Cream".
"It's so fat." Haohao said, "But you can give it my hat."
As she was about to take off her hat, Ni Jia quickly stopped her: "It's windy here, keep it on."
Haohao pointed at the cage and said innocently, "But it's cold!"
"They are more afraid of heat than cold." Li Yucheng comforted her.
The driver drove the car over and the children got in one after another. Only Ni Jia stood still. Li Yucheng put his hand on her lower back.
"Go home or go to the company?"
Ni Jia pulled the hand down from her waist and pushed her into the car. It was already late, and if he took her to the meeting again, she would definitely be late.
"You guys go first, I have something to do with Chen Mi."
The weather was too cold and the wind was blowing hard. Li Yucheng didn't want to leave Ni Jia alone on the street, so he tried to get out of the car.
"Let the driver take you. I'll call a car."
There was an empty taxi coming from behind, and no one could move forward after the shoving and pushing. Ni Jia simply ran over to stop it, waved to Li Yucheng, and got in.
"Miss, where are you going?"
"You drive first." Ni Jia was afraid that Li Yucheng would come to stop her, so she patted the seat and asked the driver to drive away quickly.
Not long after the car drove out, the phone rang, and Li Yucheng's somewhat helpless voice came from the receiver: "Running so fast."
"Chen Mi is not going your way." Ni Jia patted the front seat, covered the microphone, and whispered to the driver: Turn around and go back.
Li Yucheng didn't think much about it, and reached out to pull up his sister's hat, "Will you leave it for her at noon?"
"Well...I think so." Ni Jia agreed casually.
"I still want to have dinner with you."
"Didn't we just separate?" Ni Jia smiled: "See you in the evening."
That being said, he didn't have much appetite eating alone. Li Yucheng smiled softly, "Do you remember the appointment tonight?"
"Remember." Ni Jia thought, otherwise why would he ask the driver to turn around.
"Tell me when you're done and I'll pick you up."
The turnaround was very fast. The taxi had to be paid and Ni Jia had to hang up the phone, so his speaking speed became very fast.
"Let's talk about it later. I can go by myself."
The driver stopped the car in front of the aquarium store. Ni Jia hung up the phone in a hurry, paid the money and got out of the car.
The aquarium store did have a strong smell. The moment she opened the car door, she could smell the strong fishy odor.
A few years ago, in order to have uniform colors and better ornamental value, all the koi bought were red and white. Ni Jia asked the store owner for three more.
Moreover, the three ones she chose are relatively large in size, so they can blend in and be less easily discovered.
After paying, Ni Jia was ready to leave, but when she reached the door, she suddenly changed her mind and went back to the transparent glass to select one by one.
Soon I stopped in front of one of the fish tanks and was attracted by the unique koi inside.
Different from the red and white koi, although this fish is snow-white all over, it has a red spot in the middle of its head, which makes it look elegant, gorgeous and very noble.
"What breed is this?"
"Red-crowned carp," the shopkeeper introduced attentively, "also known as 'official carp', a favorite species of the rich, symbolizing good fortune."
Ni Jia is very satisfied with the appearance and meaning, and when placed in the pond, the colors will not appear too mixed.
She asked for six more on the spot, thinking that these ones could be smaller and it seemed okay to raise them slowly.
The two bags were a bit heavy, especially the three red and white koi, each weighing three or four pounds. Ni Jia had no choice but to call the family driver.
Her car was not entered into the system, so she could not enter the community. Fortunately, the new security guard had seen her before and let her register and pass.
The villa they lived in before was at the innermost part of the community and was also the most confidential one.
Ni Jia tried to use his fingerprint to get in and was successful. The furnishings in the living room were still the same as before, except that there were no servants, making it feel empty.
There wasn't much life here originally, and after Li Yucheng's actions, it seemed even more deserted.
The housekeeper heard the noise and hurried out of the room. When he saw Ni Jia, he was stunned at first, but quickly stepped forward and took the heavy bag.
"Young Madam, why are you here?" He did not change his words.
Ni Jia's fingers were left with red marks, and the congestion took a while to fade away. She shook her hands and made a gesture of silence.
She signaled to the housekeeper not to tell Li Yucheng first. The housekeeper saw the bag in her hand as soon as he entered the room. Naturally, he didn't say anything and nodded politely.
"Only you?"
"Well, the breeder just left."
"Breeder?" Ni Jia looked a little confused, as there was no such employee in his family before.
"Yes." The butler lowered his head and eyes, not daring to say more.
After all, he was partly responsible for the previous mistake. If the young lady wanted to hold him accountable, his job would be in jeopardy again.
The sunlight shines through the glass door and creates a beautiful field-shaped window on the marble floor at the end of the corridor.
Ni Jia did not stay in the living room for long, but chose to face the past.
She hadn't entered that door for a long time, and she had come twice before but failed...
That place used to be her little world, where she spent a lot of time every day daydreaming and drawing.
Of course, it also contains her purest and best wishes for Li Yucheng...
