House Dad's Literary Life

Chapter 169 – How About Moving Here?

The four-year-old girl sometimes did it a bit clumsily. Despite Xixi’s effort to control it, she still occasionally scratched the kitten. Xiao Guia would cry out pitifully and shudders once in a while. But on the whole, this “massage” was still very comfortable.

When Xiao Guai was squinting his eyes and enjoying himself in pain and happiness, Xiao Hui and Duoduo could not contain themselves and walked around their little master with their tail curled up.

Duoduo was fine. Her character was just like that of the old Mo Fei. She pretended to be indifferent and not care at all, with her head turned to the side, but her slow reluctant steps to walk away and her slightly curled up tail reveal her inner desire.

Xiao Hui was the eldest of the three kittens, but he was also the one who liked to act spoiled most. After watching for a while, Xiao Hui put his fluffy cat paws on the little master’s arm, as if to say, “Let go of that kitten and come to me!”

After Yang Yi saw that his daughter had groomed the kittens skillfully, he stood up, went to the bar, washed his hands, and then poured a glass of water.

Mo Fei, who at some point had stopped playing, was sitting on the piano stool, watching her daughter’s actions with a smile.

These days, Mo Fei’s relatives came to visit1, and yesterday she laughed so much that her belly hurt. Yang Yi poured a glass of warm water and brought it to her.

“Thank you.” Mo Fei took the water. The clean glass, the crystal-clear water, and the warm touch in the palm of her hand made her look up at Yang Yi, her eyes soft.

Yang Yi smiled faintly, leaned over, and watched his daughter with Mo Fei.

“In fact, I’m still a little reluctant to send her to kindergarten.” Yang Yi sighed gently and said, “I’m used to having such a noisy little girl at home. I’m afraid tomorrow will be quiet again.”

Mo Fei looked at him rebukingly and said, “You’re telling me. Xixi is so used to being wild with you here that she doesn’t want to go back to my place. My house is so deserted!”

“Then how about you move here. I’ll send you to the company!” Yang Yi suddenly turned his head and said with burning eyes, “just like Xixi, I will pick you up again in the evening!”

Mo Fei didn’t know whether she was flustered by Yang Yi’s words or by Yang Yi’s longing eyes. She pursed her lips for a while before saying, “How can this work? That would be too hard on you!”

“It’s not hard!” Yang Yi felt there was a chance, and he tried to sell himself. “Just think, living here, the place is spacious, the surrounding ecological environment is comfortable, it’s leaning against the mountain and facing the river2, and the air is fresh…”

This always made people think that the next sentence should be: “Do you want to buy it? Do you want to buy it? For sale now, this house is only 999,998. You won’t regret buying it, and you would be suffering a loss if you don’t buy it!”

Of course, Yang Yi was not so stupid, he continued: “And every day I can cook delicious food for both of you. If want to eat Chinese food, I can cook Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan and Huizhou cuisines. If you want to eat western food, French, Italian, and even Russian style, I can cook something decent for you! Or if you want to eat sushi, I can make it…”

Mo Fei didn’t know if he had learned Shulaibao3, but she couldn’t help laughing when he said aloud that long list of dishes without twisting his tongue.

“Not now. I’m very busy and you’re also very busy. How can I ask you to pick me up every day?” Mo Fei still shook her head, but explained in a soft voice, “and sometimes the recording can’t be interrupted, and it may get very late!”

An idea popped up in Yang Yi’s mind at the moment: Make money quickly and let Mo Xiaojuan open the studio near his home!

“Besides, you have a shop now, don’t you have a lot of customers?” Mo Fei smiled and pointed outside and said, “Although you locked the door today, I have seen a number of people come and look around. When school officially starts, there may be more customers! When will you have time to drive for an hour to pick me up?”

“Um…” Yang Yi nodded silently.

What Mo Fei said was also true. Recently, there have been more and more customers. When Yang Yi opened the shop, sometimes he couldn’t take care of Xixi!

But this was not the life he wanted!

How to adjust?

…….

August 31. Today was the big day that Xixi entered kindergarten, but it was also an important milestone in the Internet era!

On this day, early in the morning, led by the Sahara Online Shop (formerly named Sahara Online Bookstore), Qiyue Literature Website and the three major domestic banks jointly held a media conference.

“We announce that the Internet has entered the era of online banking payment!” The CEO of the Commercial Bank said with a red face as he and the leaders of the other two banks, along with the boss of Sahara Online Mall, Fu Jun, and the boss of Qiyue Literature Website, pushed down a trigger that symbolized its launch.

The media, who had received the news a long time ago, excitedly pressed the flash and desperately raised their hands to ask questions.

After seeing off these leaders, Fu Jun stayed and answered the reporters’ questions one by one.

What is online bank payment?

That was, the netizens could save the tedious process of transferring money in front of the bank or ATM by directly logging in to the corresponding bank’s online platform on the internet to complete these payment operations!

Obviously, it would greatly improve the efficiency of online payment and make those online services more accessible to more people! Of course, the more important thing was that it saved money!

Why?

Before the emergence of online banking payment, there were two procedure for online transfer and payment. One was to go to the bank for each transfer or payment, and the other was through a third-party Internet payment company.

For example, Xiao Ming likes to read s on Tiejun.com, and he also likes to read s on Qiyue.com. He also likes watching movies on this website and listening to music on another website. Obviously, he can’t go to the bank to transfer and pay every chapter of a and every song he listens to, nor can he transfer a large sum of money in advance on every website!

And there were no pirated websites in this world. There was no such thing as a free lunch!

So, Xiao Ming doesn’t want to be troubled, nor does he want too much money locked in different websites. He can only pay the third-party Internet payment company through going to the bank, and the money is stored in the account of the Internet payment company in digital form.

Then, if he wants to spend money on a certain website, he only needs to transfer the corresponding amount of money through this third-party Internet payment company online, and transfer it to the account of that website to complete the consumption.

Naturally, the money in the Internet payment company didn’t have any interest, and the fee for each transfer was not cheap. The netizens could only pinch their noses4 in order to enjoy these services.

Now, the emergence of Internet banking has undoubtedly greatly impacted the third-party Internet payment market, but it has also brought convenience to the netizens.

“The Internet has entered a new era!” This title was by no means grandstanding5. There were reporters who were excited, as if they have seen the great prosperity of the Internet!
