Gu Miaomiao could probably sense the trepidation that came with liking someone so much, so she was very satisfied with her answer. She felt incredibly lucky to have found such a wonderful partner so unexpectedly.
The two lay in bed pouring out their hearts to each other, but no romantic thoughts arose between them.
Perhaps such tender moments are too rare, and no one wants to end them with crude desires.
Over the next few days, Shen Wuqiu would occasionally go to the wasteland near Fengshan to check on the progress, and then spend her time at home interacting with her children.
Unfortunately, none of her children turned out well. She had been teaching them diligently for a week, but none of them could clearly call her "Mom."
Never mind, this can't be forced.
In addition, the rapeseed flowers have bloomed, and Lao Du's cosmos flower base is also doing quite well, so we wanted to use Shen Wuqiu's rapeseed flowers as a warm-up.
Although Lao Du, the marketing manager, put in his own effort, the cooperation of the host, Shen Wuqiu, was indispensable.
Once she got busy, Shen Wuqiu temporarily put aside the teaching activities to make the baby call her "Mom".
Old Du seems to be a seasoned veteran, but he's actually quite reliable.
Shen Wuqiu originally thought that with such a large area of cosmos flowers, and with Lao Du rushing into it, it must not be anything good. But she was surprised by what she found.
The cosmos seedlings in the bay are growing vigorously. In addition to cosmos, some marigolds and other flowers have also been planted here. When the spring breeze blows, the seedlings of different heights rise and fall, which is quite a unique scene.
I don't know how Lao Du marketed it, but when the rapeseed flowers in the rapeseed fields started to bloom, there were more vehicles coming and going on the road, and you could often see some handsome men and beautiful women taking pictures in the rapeseed fields.
In mid-April, the rapeseed flowers reached their peak bloom, attracting even more people to the village.
Old Du probably invited some online celebrities to do promotional activities. During that time, Su Yunzhi kept muttering to herself that every time she scrolled through short videos, she would see people posting pictures of rapeseed flowers from our area.
Following trends is a common human failing. Last year, despite the vast fields of rapeseed flowers, Shen Wuqiu didn't see many people come to see them. At most, a few villagers would come over to take a look during their afternoon walks.
Now, things are getting better. Not only are outsiders flocking here to take photos and check in, but even people from our own village are bringing their friends and family to come and see.
It must be said that one of the benefits of the information age is that it has made marketing much simpler.
Or perhaps it should be said that there was no scenery in the world originally; it only becomes scenery when many people see it.
Of course, with more people comes more popularity, but it also brings many problems. For example, some tourists with low moral standards litter or treat the rapeseed fields as their own, trampling and picking the rapeseed indiscriminately for the sake of taking beautiful photos.
Therefore, Mr. Shen patrols the rapeseed field every day like a soldier, shouting through a megaphone: "Please enjoy the flowers in a civilized manner, do not litter, do not trample on the rapeseed field, and do not pick the rapeseed at will."
He shouted through a megaphone for a few days, and things were fine for the first few days. But as more and more people left, he simply couldn't patrol the area by himself.
Therefore, the few furry friends who always wanted to go out and have fun started working again.
After going for a drive with their grandpa, the kids wanted to go out with him every day.
Although the kittens' human forms are more robust than human kittens, their cat forms grow much slower than human cats. At seven months old, the kittens are not much bigger than a full-month-old kitten. Whenever they are taken out for a walk, and people ask why their cats are not growing, the whole family always says the same thing: "Our cats are just miniature cats."
Despite their small size, the little ones are becoming increasingly agile.
Knowing that their grandfather was guarding their family's rapeseed field, the kids started running around in the field all day long. If anyone littered, they would immediately dart out and meow at them, baring their teeth.
Of course, in the eyes of humans, cats are the epitome of cuteness from the Creator.
While it cannot completely prevent tourists' bad behavior, it does evoke the moral education that many people have received.
Of course, most importantly, the appearance of the furry creatures brought another peak to this marketing campaign.
The incident began when a blogger with ten million followers on a short video platform was invited to admire the flowers. While livestreaming from the edge of the field, the playful Sanmao was lured by a bee. She not only demonstrated her "light-footed" skills on the fragile rapeseed stalks, but initially, no one noticed the little ball of fluff. After all, from the livestream, all you could see was a small ball of white fluff floating around.
Little did anyone know, the bee flew straight towards this internet celebrity, flying all the way to right behind her.
Sanmao, caught up in his pursuit of bees, foolishly drifted straight over from the rapeseed flowers.
So, when the viewers in the live stream saw this scene, they were completely dumbfounded:
"Holy crap... is that a cat?"
"Are you sure this isn't just a publicity stunt? It must be staged, right?"
"Yeah, this cat looks so fake, is it a plush toy?"
"It looks like a plush toy to me too..."
"Oh wow, now even cats are getting into the competition and need to be suspended by wires?"
The internet celebrity, who was focused on showcasing the most beautiful rapeseed flowers in her live stream, didn't notice Sanmao behind her at all. It was only when she glanced at the rapidly scrolling comments on the screen that she realized what had happened. She wanted to turn around and take a closer look.
Who knew that, just as she turned around, that damned bee flew right over the influencer's shoulder, and Sanmao took a quick step, following closely behind, and stepped right on the influencer's shoulder.
"Holy crap..."
"Holy crap..."
"Is it a real cat?"
……
Amidst a screen full of "Holy crap!" comments, the young internet celebrity was dumbfounded, and Sanmao, who had just caught the little bee, was also a bit dazed, tilting his head as he looked at the colorful bullet comments on the screen.
As a "farming cat number three" that was developed by Stephen Chow for live-streaming farming, Sanmao already knows how to take photos, videos, and live streams.
She stared at her reflection on the colorful screen, recalling the so-called "camera presence" that Stephen Chow had taught them. She raised her little feet and waved at the camera, then, as if remembering something, she released the bee she had painstakingly caught in her beak and meowed at the camera...
But soon, her meow turned into a scream.
Because that damned bee stung her little pink nose when she let go of her mouth.
Suddenly, a sharp pain struck. The pampered little beast had never suffered such humiliation. It didn't care about the camera anymore and pounced on the spot where the damned bee had fallen with lightning speed, tearing the sneaky little thing to shreds.
At the same time, the live stream chat exploded.
"Hey hot sis, is this cat yours?"
"Trash, is this cat yours?"
...
Amidst a flurry of comments, Chili Isn't Spicy just shook her head blankly. She hadn't recovered from what had just happened. After a while, she said, "This cat isn't mine. I don't know where it came from."
"Holy crap, if cats could become sentient, I think this one definitely would be."
"I also……"
"I really saw her fly over, but it happened so fast I forgot to record it..."
"Luckily, I screen-recorded the moment she was perched on the hot girl's shoulder."
…………
Chili isn't actually a cat lover, but seeing all the comments on the screen, she found herself searching for cats everywhere.
The little monster Sanmao, who had capsized in the ditch, was now curled up on the edge of the field, whimpering in pain.
Her little pink nose hurts so much.
Meow~
Chili is not spicy. He carefully approached her with his phone, but before he could even take a picture for five seconds, several large cat faces suddenly appeared on the screen.
Caught off guard, she was so frightened that she fell down on her bottom on the edge of the field.
The people who came into view were none other than the other three Mao Maos who had rushed over after hearing San Mao's screams, along with their grandfather who was following behind.
Upon seeing her relatives, Sanmao's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she meowed at her father.
When Dad saw Sanmao's swollen little nose, it looked so strange and funny, but she couldn't laugh because she loved her grandson so much. She quickly went over and picked Sanmao up, asking, "What happened?"
There was no one else around. Chili-Not-Spicy assumed that Mr. Shen was questioning her, so she quickly waved her hands, "I don't know what happened. I just saw her suddenly fly over from the rapeseed flowers, and she even jumped onto my shoulder. Then, I don't know how, she jumped down again, and that's it..."
While saying this, Chili is not spicy, and he subtly adjusted his phone to capture several hairs in the picture.
Mr. Shen stared at Sanmao, looking her up and down, wondering what was wrong with her nose. He was so anxious and upset that he glanced at the chili peppers and saw that they weren't spicy. Then he picked up Sanmao and hurriedly carried her to the street outside.
When they reached the main road, they happened to run into Shen Yan driving by. Regardless of whether it was appropriate or not, Shen's father flagged down the car and asked him to take him to Huashan.
Seeing how anxious he was, Shen Yan didn't ask any questions and drove him and the cats to Huashan.
As soon as they arrived home, Mr. Shen didn't even bother to greet Shen Yan. He got out of the car and shouted into the house, "Lingyu, come out quickly and see what's wrong with Sanmao..."
Shen Yan originally had other things to do and didn't want to stay long, but seeing his father holding a cat so nervously, he couldn't help but take a few more glances and wondered: Why is everyone so protective of a cat?
Shen Yan thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. Seeing that his father and the others were busy, he didn't go up to say hello and drove away.
As soon as Mr. Shen called out, Daiying and her husband, who were at home, immediately ran out.
"Meow~" As soon as Sanmao saw her grandparents, she immediately started complaining.
Grandpa and Grandma, I got stung by a bee.
Upon hearing this, Daiying immediately burst out laughing, especially when she saw her comical little nose, she couldn't help but chuckle.
"You're still laughing? Sanmao was screaming so pitifully!" Mr. Shen was anxious, and seeing that his wife and son didn't take it seriously, he immediately flew into a rage.
Daiying quickly took Sanmao from her and comforted him, "It's alright, Sanmao just got stung by a bee, he's fine now."
"You got stung by a bee?" Dad Shen glanced at Sanmao's comical little nose again. "Here?"
Sanmao probably felt a little embarrassed about being caught off guard, so she stretched out her little feet to stop it.
"Isn't it here?" Daiying saw that her eyes were brimming with tears from the pain, so she raised her hand and tapped her nose.
Sanmao immediately felt a cool and refreshing force, followed by a strong push from the inside out. After a dull pain, the pain gradually subsided.
"Alright, the bee's sting is out. It'll be fine once the swelling goes down," Daiying said, then tapped her forehead to scold her, "Were you being naughty again? You're still young. I told you not to chase after those little things."
Sanmao felt guilty and didn't dare to talk back, so she obediently buried her head in Daiying's arms and hummed.
Because of this little incident involving Sanmao, the number of viewers for the live stream of the internet celebrity "Chili is Not Spicy" reached a new high that day, and various GIFs and short videos about Sanmao quickly went viral online.
And for several days, the popularity of Sanmao, the cat with the agile and graceful movements, did not diminish.
Many casual observers, unaware of the inside story, assumed the cat belonged to the blogger "Lajiao Bula" because many leaked videos showed Sanmao standing on "Lajiao Bula's" shoulders.
As a result, Chili Not Spicy gained another wave of fans thanks to Sanmao.
Chili doesn't like spicy food or cats, but she loves online traffic. Now, Sanmao is like a traffic code, and she really wants to possess Sanmao for herself.
At first, Chili Not Spicy wanted to find any cat similar to Sanmao to fill the gap, but she spent a lot of money asking many catteries and still couldn't find a cat that could replace Sanmao.
Although the cats she usually looked at seemed pretty much the same, when she actually looked for one, she realized that Sanmao was truly exceptional.
Since the chili peppers weren't spicy enough, there was nothing that could be done, so in the end, I had no choice but to return to Jingrong Village to ask Old Du for help.
She generously offered that as long as Lao Du could get her Sanmao, she could come and be his image ambassador every year.
Old Du hadn't paid much attention to these online messages and was unaware of the details. He assumed it was true, as she said, that she liked the cat, and readily agreed.
