Fragrance Is Very Cute (1)
The pig was very small. It was not the white, fat kind. In fact, it looked a little bit thin.
It probably wouldn’t taste that good.
Jiang Xiaoman squatted on the ground and raised the little pig’s front leg. Her big pair of eyes were gazing at its little pair of eyes.
She was looking at it, and at the same time, the pig was also looking at her. It was not afraid of her, and she was not afraid of it.
“Wow!” She exclaimed. “Uncle, this pig is so cute!”
“Of course! I found it after looking around for a long time, how can it not be cute?” Jiang Xing really had to look for it for a long time, because most pet shops didn’t sell those. There were mostly cats and dogs, and he was exhausted trying to find a pig. But because he was determined to buy his niece a pig, he persevered and was finally able to buy this little fragrant pig.
All pigs looked the same. Honestly, Jiang Xiaoman didn’t really understand and couldn’t tell the difference between this pig and Big Flower and Little Flower back in the village.
They also both looked like this when they were young.
But this pig was prettier and more delicate compared to them.
Its nose and mouth were softer and whiter. When it oinked, it stuck out its pink and tender tongue.
Jiang Xiaoman played with it for a while, then raised her head and asked, “It’s so cute, can we eat it? It’s so small though, would it be enough for me and Grandma to eat? Will it grow bigger after we raise it for a while?
The current Jiang Xiaoman was very concerned about food, especially meat.
“This isn’t for you to eat, but to keep as a pet.” Jiang Xing said. “This is called a fragrant pig. It won’t get bigger even after you raise it. It will just stay this size. It’s going to be your playmate in the future, so give it a name.”
Jiang Xiaoman came to a realization.
So it turned out that the pig’s position was similar to Yu Qingshi’s Miaomiao.
Although she wanted a little friend of her own very much, raising Miaomiao cost a lot of money. It ate meat every day, and lived better than her. To be honest, she was very envious of Miaomiao.
She didn’t even have meat to eat for herself. If she raised a fragrant pig, her future portion of meat would be even less.
She was very reluctant to share the meat with the fragrant pig, and she also didn’t have the heart to let it follow her to endure hardships and eat only vegetables.
“Uncle, I don’t want to raise a fragrant pig. You can give it away.” After thinking for a while, Jiang Xiaoman made up her decision with tears in her eyes. “If it eats a lot, it would starve if I took care of it. Mrs. Flower also eats very well, her mouth never stops chewing. If it doesn’t want to follow me and eat only vegetables, it would starve to death.”
She didn’t want the fragrant pig to starve to death.
“… didn’t you want to eat it just now?” Jiang Xing’s face twitched.
“Because it had not been my friend yet just now, but now it is.”
Children’s way of thinking had always been strange and erratic, especially their Xiaoman. Jiang Xing had long been used to it.
After figuring out her thoughts, Jiang Xing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and explained to her. “It’s okay, it’s just a pig. We can afford it. Besides, pigs eat vegetables, not meat.”
“Really?” Jiang Xiaoman’s eyes brightened, but it soon dimmed again. “But there’s no place to find hogweed in the city.”
“…there are other alternatives.” Jiang Xing said. “Your Uncle Yu already told me everything. Grandma’s approach is wrong, Uncle will let you know.”
After Yu Wencheng spoke with Jiang Xiaoman, he went to ask Jiang Xing if he had encountered any difficulties. Was there something that he could not speak about? Did he not have enough money to spend and would go bankrupt?
If it wasn’t any of those, then he should go home and look at what was happening.
After asking, Jiang Xing understood what happened. His head felt like it was going to explode. He wouldn’t interfere with how his mother educated the child.
No pain, no gain. He had heard of that idiom when he was small. It was fine for Jiang Xiaoman to learn it.
The problem was, Xiaoman overthink things too much.
She didn’t even understand what bankruptcy was, but she still cried and became sad because of it. She had to live frugally, and things blew up.
Wasn’t the reason he worked so hard was so that his whole family could live well?
In order to comfort her and correct her thinking, he went and brought this fragrant pig home for her.
He wanted to let her know that not only could their family afford to eat meat, they could also afford to raise pigs.
