Daily Life in the Pet Shop Ch. 119
"Little white rabbit, don't go." Xiao Xuan saw Fang Yi taking Little Bandit away, and hurriedly chased after him, grabbed the bag in Fang Yi's hand, and said to Fang Yi angrily, "Little Rabbit is my family, you are not allowed to take it away."
"Xiao Xuan." Mother Du knew that Little Bandit was an animal in Fang Yi's store, so she hurried forward to hold Xiao Xuan back and whispered to her, "These little animals are from Uncle's house, not ours. It's night now, they are tired, and it's time to go home and sleep. Uncle will send them over to play with you tomorrow."
"Really?" Xiao Xuan let go reluctantly and said to Fang Yi, "Uncle, will you let them come over tomorrow?"
"Yes, let them come over tomorrow to play with you." Fang Yi nodded.
"You must come, let's make a pinky promise." Xiao Xuan was not very reassured.
"Xiao Xuan, stop making trouble. Uncle is in a hurry to go home. He will definitely come tomorrow. No need to make a pinky promise." Mother Du coaxed Xiao Xuan back, looked at Fang Yi, hesitated for a while, and told Fang Yi to wait a while before leaving.
Fang Yi stood at the door and waited for a while. Mother Du came out soon and handed the lunch box to Fang Yi again, saying to Fang Yi, "Qianze had a poor appetite when he was sick, so I made some porridge for him. There are also a few dishes I made in it. If you don't mind, take it home and eat it."
"Thank you, Auntie." Fang Yi took the lunch box and turned away. Judging from the attitudes of Mother Du and Du Jiamo, they should have forgiven Du Qianze a long time ago. Only Father Du refused to forgive him. Du Qianze was worried about this for seven years and couldn't go home.
After returning home, Fang Yi handed the lunch box to Du Qianze, and then let the little bandits out. The three little animals had been in Du's house for a day. After being let out, they ran around the house. The little puppy was too much and even ran to the corner to pee.
Little Bandit ran to Du Qianze's side, grabbed Du Qianze's legs, and stared at Du Qianze without blinking... to the lunch box in his hand.
Because the three little animals successfully completed the task, Du Qianze and Fang Yi had a bad meal.
There was a little kitten trying to climb up on the table, and a little puppy circling around them and whimpering from time to time. Little Bandit was not tall enough, so it jumped onto the stool next to the table and watched them eat.
"What are they doing..." Du Qianze couldn't stand being stared at by the two animals, thinking to himself, I'd give them whatever they want.
"They successfully completed the task and came to us for a reward." Fang Yi said lightly. These little animals were smart. When they heard Fang Yi praise them for their good work, they remembered it and insisted that Fang Yi give them some delicious food. Although Fang Yi prepared cat food and dog food for them, those things didn't smell as good as food.
"Otherwise, give them a little, just a little." Being stared at by them, Du Qianze couldn't eat a little, feeling like committing a crime.
"It's not impossible." Fang Yi thought about it, took a small bowl, scooped three spoonfuls of chicken porridge into it, and called the kitten and puppy to his side. Little Bandit saw Fang Yi's action and jumped down and waited for him in the dining place.
"Try it first." Fang Yi handed the chicken porridge to Little Bandit. In fact, rabbits could eat meat, but they might not like it. Letting it taste it would make it realize that while it smelled good, the actual flavor wasn't as appealing.
Sure enough, Little Bandit licked it and jumped away, and continued to eat its rabbit food. The little kitten liked the taste very much and ate most of the chicken porridge, which made the little puppy behind it anxious. It kept whining, as if asking the little kitten to leave some chicken porridge for it.
The little kitten ate most of the chicken porridge in one breath, then walked away slowly, ran back to the dining table, stretched out its paw to Du Qianze, indicating that the food had been sent out, and took two more mouthfuls of chicken porridge from Du Qianze while Fang Yi was not paying attention.
The little puppy whined for a long time beside the kitten, and finally it was its turn. It went forward and ate the chicken porridge in a few mouthfuls, probably without even tasting it. After eating, it stretched out its tongue to lick the porridge clean, and looked up at Fang Yi. It was obvious that it wanted to continue drinking.
"No more, eat dog food." Fang Yi patted its head and put it in front of the dog food. The little puppy lay down beside the bowl with an unhappy face and started to get angry.
Little Bandit waited by Fang Yi's side until Fang Yi had fed the other two porridge, and then it went forward to pull Fang Yi's trouser legs and pulled Fang Yi to where the carrots were. It wanted to eat carrots.
"Okay, okay, I'll give you half a carrot. You're not allowed to ask for more."
When Little Bandit was first picked up, it had been wandering around the vegetable market for days, surviving on everything from rotten vegetable leaves to carrots. Although it later learned to eat rabbit food under Naima's guidance, its favorite food remained carrots and vegetable leaves.
It needed to have its daily share of carrots and vegetable leaves; otherwise, it would cause trouble for Fang Yi. While most rabbits preferred rabbit food, Little Bandit's tastes had already been set. Fang Yi had no choice but to give it half a carrot each day in advance, firmly telling it that this was its daily limit.
When he went out this morning, Fang Yi had already given Little Bandit the carrot it wanted in advance in order to help it complete its task better. Now it was taking advantage of its contribution to blackmail Fang Yi.
Fang Yi had just sent Little Bandit away when he found the little kitten drinking porridge on the table.
"Don't feed it these things, it's still young." Fang Yi took the kitten to the cat food and said to it seriously, "Eat cat food well, don't eat these things."
The kitten, feeling upset, grabbed Fang Yi with its paws before running over to the puppy. It lay on top of the puppy and didn't move. Both animals looked utterly dejected, their expressions so sorrowful it seemed as if they might start crying at any moment.
"I'll make a big pot of porridge for you after completing the task, so that you can eat enough." Fang Yi whispered to them.
"Woof." The puppy heard Fang Yi's words, stood up suddenly, and barked at Fang Yi excitedly. The kitten felt much better and went back to eat cat food slowly.
