Chapter 1301: Chapter 1301: The Beloved Cat’s Life (Part 3)
Ruan Jiaojiao had already guessed the identities of the three people. Upon hearing them, she promptly looked at Lu Zhiwei and called out sweetly, "Meow." Godfather.
"..." Lu Zhiwei.
Although he had accepted such an unbelievable thing, seeing the little kitten greet him as if she understood Ruan Jianguo’s words still felt a bit odd to Lu Zhiwei.
He gave her an awkward yet polite smile and complimented her, saying she was a good girl.
In contrast to his stiffness, Lu Xian seemed quite natural. He reached out, with a smiling face, and rubbed her little head, introducing himself, "I’m your godbrother. You used to call me Brother Zhen."
"Oh, you called me Brother Zishu," Lu Zishu added from the side.
"Meow." Hello there.
Ruan Jiaojiao waved her little paw humorously, not actually calling them, as she wasn’t quite used to it.
Meanwhile, the Ruanlin family had already arranged the dishes and called everyone to sit at the table.
Ruan Jiaojiao had already eaten and wasn’t hungry at all. Besides, there wasn’t a single thing on the table she could eat. The Ruanlin family laid a blanket on one corner of the dining table so that Ruan Jiaojiao could lie on it and play. Only with her in sight could the family eat with peace of mind.
The dozen or so kids had grown up, so they had their own separate table.
A table for adults, a table for kids, laughter and cheerfulness filled the air, creating a harmonious and joyful atmosphere.
Lying on the blanket watching, Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t help but wonder, did these extra eight boys really not eat the family out of house and home?
Yet she couldn’t help but feel content, as if deep down, she had been longing for such a reunion for a long, long time.
After the family reunion dinner, the next day Shu Lang, Shu Wen, and Qin Qiong left early to head back to Beidu to start preparing.
When Shu Lang and Shu Wen left, Ruan Jiaojiao was still asleep and didn’t get the chance to see them off. Upon waking, she found three pendants beside her: Jade Guanyins, Gold Inlaid Jade, and others, all in mini sizes obviously prepared for her current body.
"Awake? These were left by your uncles. Pick the one you like best, and I’ll put it on you," said the Ruanlin family softly as she walked in carrying a basin, placing it aside upon seeing Ruan Jiaojiao awake.
Ruan Jiaojiao, still a bit groggy, rubbed her eyes with her paw and pointed to an emerald green Jade Guanyin. The Ruanlin family put the Jade Guanyin on her and said, "Wearing this, my sweet baby will live a life of peace and happiness, free from illness and disaster."
Ruan Jiaojiao softly responded, and before the Ruanlin family prepared her bottle, she attended to her needs in the basin she had brought along, then indulged in suckling on the bottle happily.
Ruan Jiaojiao’s current body was just two weeks old today, and worries about choking on milk were real. The Ruanlin family waited beside her until she finished drinking before going to clean the used basin.
When Xiu Xi helped with the cleaning, Ruan Jiaojiao was so embarrassed she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself, but when the Ruanlin family helped, she didn’t feel that way. She was a small bundle, not even as big as the Ruanlin family’s foot, following back and forth, occasionally meowing.
Whether the Ruanlin family understood or not, she proceeded according to her thoughts, "Your father went to send your uncles to Changling for their ride. Xiaoxi had to attend to something and went out this morning. Your mother went to school for a bit and will be back later."
Shu Jiao had been significantly impacted by Ruan Jiaojiao’s situation, having taken more than a week’s leave. Now, having a bit of time, she returned to catch up on her lessons.
