farmer's husband

Chapter 61
The boys were having fun, when suddenly there was a loud cry from the side, and they were all froze in fright.

Taking advantage of the moment when they were in a daze, Chun Zhi hurriedly pushed away the person standing in front of her, rushed inside and hugged the cat.

The gray cat was obviously terrified. When Chun Zhi picked her up, she thought she was going to bully him too, and struggled hard.Chunzhi hurriedly stroked her hair gently, and whispered in his mouth: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay, I won't hurt you, be good!"

After talking several times, the cat slowly calmed down, and the fur that exploded gradually smoothed down.

When the servants came to their senses, one of them laughed.

"It turned out to be a soft-hearted little daughter-in-law! But this is a wild cat without an owner, sneaking around looking for food. It was just trying to steal our food, and we found out, so we played with it like this."

"Do you play like this? If you don't want to steal things from it, just drive it away. Why do you treat it like this? She is already so old, if she is scared, she will be scared to death, you know? "Chunzhi said angrily.

"Is it big? Why can't I see it?" Another person raised his eyebrows, "You didn't deliberately blackmail me, did you? Let me tell you, this is a wild cat, don't expect to pretend to be its owner Come and lie to us for compensation, so we won't be fooled!"

"Who is blackmailing you? I just told you not to bully cats like this in the future! Wild cats are not allowed, this is a life!" Chun Zhi gave him a blank look, then quickly turned around and left with the gray cat in his arms.

The faces of the boys became a little ugly.It's just that they all accompanied their young master to take the exam, so they dare not cause trouble on such an important day.What's more, it's not a big deal, so after a few words of persuasion from the people around, they turned their heads away.It's just that it's unavoidable for a few people to get together again and laugh at Chun Zhi as a silly girl.

However, Chunzhi was not in the mood to pay any attention to them anymore, and now she put all her attention on the old cat in her arms.

Holding the old cat back to the edge of the stone pier, the third son also came over, looking up at the old cat meowing non-stop.

Chun Zhi stroked its head to calm it down, then carefully stroked the old cat's fur, continuing to comfort it patiently.

This is a very ordinary gray-haired cat. There are a few black and white hairs mixed on the cat's body, which makes the color very messy and unattractive.And judging by the cat's age, it must be over ten years old.Cats over ten years old are equivalent to five or sixty years old in human years. Those young servants surrounded such an old cat to make fun of it, thanks to them being able to do it!

After finally calming down the old cat's mood to normal, Chun Zhi touched its stomach again, and found that it was deflated, and he didn't know how long it had been since he had eaten.After being touched twice by her, the old cat raised its head and meowed at her, looking weak and hopeful.

Chun Zhi quickly took out pancakes from the bundle, broke them into small pieces and fed them to her mouth.

As a result, the old cat just sniffed it and turned its head away.It does not eat!

"Do you think it's too hard to bite?" Chunzhi asked it in a low voice, and hurriedly took out the kettle again. When it got a little water, it softened the cake and then fed it, but the cat still twisted its head and refused to eat.

"What's wrong with you? You should eat something!" Seeing this, Chun Zhi almost cried.But no matter how she stuffed the pancakes into its mouth, the old cat just didn't open its mouth, but turned its head further away.

The person who accompanied the examinee at the side came to persuade her when he saw this. "I think this cat is going to die, so don't waste food. A mixed-haired cat doesn't deserve to spend so much thought."

Chun Zhi bit her lip. "Since I have encountered it, of course I can help it to the end."

It's just that the old cat is obviously old, lazy and doesn't like to move, and it doesn't even want to bark a few times.Chunzhi talked to it, but it didn't make a sound, nor did it eat.Harue had no choice but to hold it again and continue to rub her fur.

After rubbing for a while, the cat fell asleep in her arms, sleeping deeply.

Seeing that it fell asleep, Chun Zhi quietly heaved a sigh of relief.Now she had no choice but to let the old cat fall asleep on her own, and she continued to work with her needle and thread.

After working until the afternoon, another gong sounded in the examination room—"Collect paper!"

The big lock outside the examination room also clicked open.

Chun Zhi immediately became excited.

The old cat on her lap noticed her movement and woke up with a start.Chun Zhi hurriedly put it on the stone pier, let it lie down with Xiao Sanzi, and rushed forward with the crowd.

As the gate opened, the students filed out one after another.Some people looked proud, others were disheartened, and some even cried tears all over their faces before they could come out.

All kinds of human emotions are fully revealed at this moment.

Chunzhi saw these things in her eyes, and her heart couldn't help but hang high.

She opened her eyes wide and searched for Chai Dong's figure in the crowd, and when she finally found it, she quickly squeezed through the crowd. "Sir, how did you do in the exam?"

"It's okay, I can do all the questions." Chai Dong replied calmly.

Chun Zhi burst into laughter immediately. "I knew it, my husband-in-law is the best!"

She quickly pulled Chai Dong up. "Go, let's go home!"

As she was walking, she also explained to him what happened outside: "I met an old cat just now, and it doesn't look very well, so I thought—"

In the middle of talking, she raised her head to look at Shidun again, and it turned out that there was a little boy lying on the stone pier. Where was the figure of the old cat?
Chunzhi quickly walked a few steps and ran over: "Little Sanzi, where is that old cat?"

The third son meowed a few times, and Chun Zhi frowned.

Seeing this, Chai Dong also asked, "The cat ran away?"

Chunzhi nodded. "This cat is getting old and won't eat anymore, but it doesn't look good. I'm afraid it will inevitably be bullied when I go out."

That's what worries her the most.

Chai Dong couldn't help raising his eyebrows. "Then let's look around!"

Chun Zhi nodded quickly.However, they searched all around the examination room, but they didn't see the old cat.

"It seems that it is no longer here." Chai Dong wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, "The county is so big, and we are not familiar with the place, so it is even more difficult to find. I'm going to lose myself."

"Yes!" Harue bowed his head in frustration.

"Since this is the case, then this is its fate." Chai Dong said in a low voice, pulling her close, "We should go back."

Chunzhi still doesn't want to go back, she hasn't found the old cat yet!
But when she looked up and saw the sweat on Chai Dong's forehead, she thought that he had just finished the exam!And today is just the first test, he has five tests in total, and he has a few days to do in the next few days.Originally, after today's exam, he should go back to rest quickly, but in order to help him find a cat, he is still busy here until now, and I am really sorry for him.

And...she also had to admit that Chai Dong was right, they were unfamiliar with each other here, and it wasn't worth setting herself up for a cat she had just met.Especially now that she wasn't sure if she could find it.

Chun Zhi then lowered his head and let Chai Dong pull her back.

Just because of this incident, she was depressed for the next few days, and her spirits have been bad. At night, she would dream that the old cat was caught by someone again, all kinds of bullying and playing around, and the old cat was frightened. It was so heart-piercing that she felt heartbroken when she heard it in her dream.Several times she woke up from her sleep with fright, and then regretted it - in fact, at the beginning, she could let Chai Dong go back first, and then search around by herself!
Unfortunately, it was too late.Afterwards, she accompanied Chai Dong to the exam every other day, and while Chai Dong was taking the exam, she searched all around the exam room, and asked the people who lived nearby, but everyone didn't care about such an old miscellaneous cat. impression.

After the five exams, Chunzhi no longer had any hope of finding the old cat.

Chai Dong did well in these five exams.After the fifth test, he came out and nodded to Chun Zhi: "No problem."

Chun Zhi felt a little better.

"It's good that there is no problem. Mother must be happy at home now!" She forced a smile.

"If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh." Chai Dong met, but he said something in a low voice, and pulled her away.

Chun Zhi was taken aback, but she really didn't force herself to smile for him.

However, after following him for a while, Chun Zhi suddenly realized—"This is not the way back!"

"Who said I'm going back?" Chai Dong said.

"Then where are you going?"

"Shopping!" Chai Dong replied loudly, "I finally came to the county, how can I not go back after shopping?"

This is not the right time to go shopping. There is still a long time to wait for the government to release the rankings after the papers are reviewed. This time is enough for them to go around the county a few times.Now that he has managed to finish five exams, shouldn't he hurry back and take a rest?

Chun Zhi immediately realized——was he deliberately looking for something to divert his attention?

This little husband-in-law of hers is simply more hard-spoken and soft-hearted than her mother-in-law.

After thinking about the reason behind this, the corners of Chun Zhi's mouth curved up.

"You are so kind, Mr. Xiang." She quickly caught up with him and whispered to him.

Chai Dong just twitched the corner of his mouth and gave her a sideways glance.

"Nonsense, I didn't!"
