Her Cultivation Diary

Chapter 1220: Where's My Watermelon? [Double Chapter]



In the dead of winter, considering that Xiangxiang would be on a "long journey," Dabao's family made thorough preparations.

They first laid an old quilt in the back of the truck; while doing so, the old mother still worried:

"The metal is so cold! Oh, it's a pity there are no farms nearby anymore; otherwise, your dad and I could have ridden a tricycle to fetch a load of straw to lay down, that would keep out the cold."

The quilt was laid down, but they couldn't add a cover on top for the moment, so the old mother took out the clothes she personally made for Xiangxiang—since it's not easy to buy pet clothes in that size!

During the New Year, Xiangxiang was also dressed festively, in a set of red satin clothes, wishing even her pig's hooves could be wrapped up. The inside was made from an old cotton-padded jacket, disregarding whether it was comfortable to wear; it definitely looked warm.

Luckily, Xiangxiang was big. Otherwise, if this family were to ask her to sit in the backseat, how could they refuse?

Now the problem was...the truck bed was high, and Xiangxiang couldn't get up there easily!

The family was busy lifting stools and chairs, lined up and piled up, forming a long staircase. Several times Song Tan wanted to speak but was gently reassured by Lun Chuan, who tapped the back of her hand.

"Don't scare them. Besides, as we're about to part, give them a chance to do some work."

Song Tan held back her laughter: "I just think they're being too slow… you know it's just a matter of lifting it easily…"

Lun Chuan sighed helplessly: Actually, he's quite strong now too, but why carry a pig? Let Xiangxiang's owner stay busy for now.

With all the bustling around, Xiangxiang finally got on the vehicle smoothly.

The silent old father looked at Xiangxiang, who turned around twice in the truck bed, and another concern arose:

"Will Xiangxiang get carsick?"

Since she grew up, she hadn't been in a vehicle anymore, mainly because there wasn't a vehicle at home to carry her.

Dabao finally caught up with the thought sluggishly: "Will she jump out of the truck midway? Should we put a collar on? But if she doesn't behave even with a collar, wouldn't it be…"

Song Tan thought she had seen how ordinary people love their pets, but even Da Wang's owner wasn't as meticulous as this!

At this moment, she turned around, reached into the backseat, and pulled out a basket.

"Here, we brought watermelon, cucumbers, carrots, and cabbage. We know it wasn't easy to raise Xiangxiang so big, and since you trust us, we'll take good care of her."

When they got off the vehicle, Dabao was so overwhelmed that he forgot about it for a moment.

Now taking it out, Song Tan hesitated: "Should I take out a carrot from inside; Xiangxiang might be quieter on the road with it to chew on?"

"Xiangxiang doesn't like carrots..." the mother remembered something: "I'll go back inside and bring a box of apples…"

"No way, absolutely impossible!"

The reader named Dabao stopped his mom and quickly leaned forward, excitedly eyeing the basket, rubbing his hands and repeatedly greeting:

"This is so embarrassing…this is so embarrassing…you helped us a lot, solving our family's big issue!"

The pair of hands stretched and retracted, retracted and stretched again, and finally, hesitantly yet resolutely held on to the basket:

"I know your vegetables! Too kind, too kind! Let me pick a carrot for Xiangxiang, she will definitely love it!"

Despite saying that, he hesitated for a long time.

If he gave the big one, he felt reluctant.

If he gave the small one, he felt he was wronging Xiangxiang…

After a long grunt, he finally picked a big one.

The old mother beside still advised: "Why don't you give that watermelon to Xiangxiang?"

"No, no, no!" the son decisively said: "Xiangxiang is going to enjoy a good life there, this watermelon…well I haven't had such a life yet, let me eat it."

"This child..." the mother got a bit angry: how could you be so stingy towards guests completing an errand?

But she felt embarrassed to say it in front of others, so she had to hold back.

Conversely, Song Tan was very understanding, now pushing the basket forward: "Help yourselves, it's brought for you guys!"

Saying this, she tapped the car railing casually: "Xiangxiang, have a carrot, be quiet on the road."

Then she handed over the carrot Dabao selected.

Xiangxiang used her snout to nudge gently and deftly picked up the carrot.

Perhaps due to the habit developed at home, Xiangxiang was especially graceful when eating fruit, unlike the pigs at home, who would devour everything loudly with a "clunk, clunk, clunk."
