“Take care on the road.”

After Zhuang Jingye saw Zhuang Qingning out the door and she had disappeared around the corner, he returned to have a meal with Mrs. Ye.

Humming a little tune as he did.

When Zhuang Qingning arrived home, Zhuang Qingsui pounced on her, Big Sister, you’re back! Come look, come look!”

“Look at what?” Zhuang Qingning was surprised by Zhuang Qingsui’s excitement and was pulled towards the house by her sleeve.

“Of course, look at this.” Zhuang Minghao, who was in the house, chuckled. He put down the bamboo basket in his hand and lifted the handkerchief from the top of it.

As soon as half of the handkerchief was lifted, a small white ball of fluff appeared, its big black eyes glanced at Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui, and it meowed softly.

The sound was incredibly soft and seemed to melt people’s hearts.

“A kitten?” Zhuang Qingning was surprised and delighted.

In modern society, she had been a dedicated cat lover, a bona fide poop scoop officer. After she crossed into this world, Zhuang Qingning had been somewhat concerned about what would happen to Snowball, the cat she had been raising in her apartment. Although the apartment manager checked in-home residents every weekend to facilitate the care of the pets left behind by their on-holiday poop-scoop officers.

In Zhuang Qingning’s case, as long as the apartment manager had a spare key and there was enough cat food and water in the house, the pet at home would not suffer. But Zhuang Qingning still felt regretful when she thought of

Snowball who understood human nature.

Now looking at this small furball, especially one that looked very similar to Snowball, waves of tenderness welled up in Zhuang Qingning’s heart. She stretched out her hand to stroke the little white cat’s forehead.

Smoothing its fur, scratching its forehead, and chin.

The white kitten seemed to enjoy Zhuang Qingning’s touch, making soft purring sounds, and even meowing anxiously twice when she pulled back her hand.

“It seems this cat really likes Big Sister Ning.” Zhuang Minghao grinned, “When I went to pick it, I saw this one at a glance. It’s lively, adorable, and beautiful. I thought you and Sister Sui would definitely like this one.

“I brought it back this morning. I wanted to give it to you and Sister Sui as a housewarming gift at noon. But I was afraid that the cat would get scared and run away due to the crowd, so I waited until the evening when no one was around to bring it over.”

“This kitty just turned two months old and no longer needs to drink milk. It can eat regular food.”

Zhuang Minghao scratched his ear, “Originally, I was thinking of bringing over a cat and a dog together. But the dog named Dahuang, who just gave birth to a litter, is very protective. She doesn’t allow anyone to approach and won’t let them leave her side for even half a step before they’re a month old, we’ll wait

for others.”

“Not in a hurry, it’s good to raise a cat first. We are not sure if it would be good if there were two furballs, they may fight.” Zhuang Qingning laughed, looking at Zhuang Qingsui who is staring at the white kitten with bright eyes, “What do you think?”

“Yeah, that’s what I was thinking, to raise one first.”

Zhuang Qingsui laughed, “Brother Minghao, no rush. We’ll wait for the opportunity and if we encounter a good one, we’ll then decide.

“Alright.” Zhuang Minghao grinned and got up, “I shall head home first, otherwise I’ll be scolded if I go back late. I will come to play with Sister Sui tomorrow.”

No sooner had he spoken than Zhuang Minghao ran away like the wind.

What a kid.

Zhuang Qingning smiled and handed the small cat to Zhuang Qingsui, You want to pet it?

Zhuang Qingsui, who had been observing for a while, could not wait to reach out and touch the kitten’s furry head.

So soft, so fluffy, and so cute.

Zhuang Qingsui felt like her heart was melting into a puddle of pure water, filled with love.

“Big Sister, let’s name it.”

“Great.” Zhuang Qingning laughed, “Do you have a name in mind?

“Hmm, let me think…” Zhuang Qingsui tilted her head, “Its fur is all white, without a single hair of other colors. It’s as white as snow, and when it curls up, it’s like a ball. How about we call it Snowball?”

Zhuang Qingning was momentarily stunned.

It was already remarkable that it looked somewhat like Snowball, but now, even the name was the same.

However, this was good in a way, like she still has Snowball around, and she was still around Snowball as well.

Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips and smiled, leaned down, and petted the kitten’s little head, “From now on, you’ll be our Snowball, okay?”

Snowball lifted its head and meowed, as though it was agreeing.

“Great, even Snowball likes the name.” Zhuang Qingsui giggled, picked up Snowball, and took it to the courtyard before releasing it, “This is your new home. This is the courtyard. Take a look around first. Later, I’ll show you to your room.”

Once on the ground, Snowball was very curious about the place. With its short legs, it walked and ran around, sniffing everywhere. It seemed to be actively familiarizing itself with its new home.

Having gotten a cat at such a young age, I feel one step closer to being a successful person. Perfect!

[Warm prompt, within the System Mall, the host can redeem cat litter, cat food, canned food for cats, and even cat deworming medicine, all sorts of cat­specific vaccines and, for the convenience of using vaccines during this era, they have been specially turned into orally administered vaccines. They have the exact same effects, and the host can rest assured of use.]

Huh, this certain agency who hasn’t issued a task for a long time suddenly showed up, and it’s actually promoting products. What’s up with that?

[Cough, Cough, the host has already accumulated a certain amount of diligence points and should consume them promptly. That’s why the system will naturally recommend products based on the host’s current actual needs.] [Accumulating too many diligence points will only make the host develop a certain degree of inertia. Therefore, spending them as soon as you can is necessary. With consumption, you will have a greater motivation and more needs to earn more diligence points. The system is actually pushing you to progress!]

[Also, this adorable little kitten, can you bear to have its delicate little paws digging through hard dirt to relieve itself? Can you bear to have it eat the high- salt, high-lipid food of humans? Can you bear to see it tormented by bacteria?] [So, now, immediately, right away, please quickly get your kitten everything it needs. The system can give you a discount, a bone-fracturing type of discount!]

Well, another slave to cats.

Zhuang Qingning reluctantly pinched the bridge of her nose.

Taking into consideration the sanitation and limited medical level of this era, Zhuang Qingning used diligence points to buy some deworming medicine and vaccines, planning to follow the instructions and add them to Snowball’s food when it was eating.
