Strange Life of a Cat

In the next few days, Papa Jiao was inquiring about the storefront and business conditions outside. He didn't pay attention to this usually, so he had to ask more at this time.

Jiao Wei's father and Jiao's father had a good relationship when they were young, and their old man also lived with Jiao's father and his family's old man. Usually, the neighbors in the neighborhood take care of each other, and they have a good relationship. Otherwise, the old man of the Jiao family would not call him personally to let Jiao Dad helps.

In fact, besides this, Father Jiao has other considerations. He will go abroad next year. If there are people from Jiao Wei's family, there will be someone at home to help take care of him.

Before he went abroad, Jiao Yuan was about to enter junior high school, and Jiao's mother was also there. Although it was not far from Chuhua University to that junior high school, roads were being built everywhere now. Jiao's father didn't want their mother and daughter to ride every day. Running around in the car, let them eat at school at noon, and then go home to have dinner together in the afternoon. Anyway, the school stipulates that the first and second grades do not have to go to evening self-study. It is a voluntary principle. Several parents in the compound agreed. Opinion, just go home tonight.

As for this, Papa Jiao and Xiaoyouzi can go to the cafeteria for lunch, anyway, this is not the first time they have eaten. Papa Jiao's office also has a folding bed for lunch breaks, where Xiaoyouzi can take a nap. As for Zheng Tan, let's eat in the cafeteria together.

After a few days of investigation, Papa Jiao took a fancy to a storefront, but that one was not a catering company before, and now the store wanted to be transferred. As soon as he put up the transfer sign, Papa Jiao came to the door.

I asked Jiao Wei and his son to have a talk. Although the place is not very close to the school gate, there is nothing we can do. The business of the people who are close is now very good, and those who want to transfer it have already been taken over.

However, Jiao Wei and his son are quite satisfied with this store, and they are not procrastinators. After negotiating the price, they will sign an agreement. Just to be on the safe side, Father Jiao asked a young professor from the law school in the compound to come over to help. Qu Xiangyang, who was at the opposite door, heard that an acquaintance of the Jiao family was going to open a restaurant. Does the restaurant deliver takeout?

The shop owner looked at a professor, an associate professor, and a young man who talked a lot, and slapped his face several times. He thought that the person who came here was just a country bumpkin cooking, but now the lineup is really weird! There are still professionals present, how can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer!

There were a few high-level intellectuals to help out, and Jiao Wei and his son were also relieved. They were afraid of being cheated when they went out. Both the young professor and Qu Xiangyang refused, saying that they would come back when the store opened later, and that there would be no trouble now.

Qu Xiangyang also volunteered to prepare a design drawing. Jiao Wei and his son were very grateful. Qu Xiangyang waved his hand, "If your food suits my taste, I will rely on your family to support me in the future!"

I don't know what Qu Xiangyang's parents will think when they hear this sentence.

After signing the contract, there are still some tools to buy, especially tables, chairs and benches. But before they could find a place to buy it, Wei Leng came to pick up Zheng Tan and found out about it when he went out to play, so he called Ye Hao directly and got some eliminated tables, chairs and sundries from Ye Hao. , although it seems that it is not suitable for this kind of small restaurant, but it is enough to change it, the advantage is that the quality is good.

They didn't plan to ask for money at first, Ye Hao and Wei Leng were not short of this money, but Jiao Wei and his son refused to agree, they just stuffed a thousand dollars into Wei Leng, and Wei Leng took out two one hundred pieces from it. , and put the rest back on the table.

The reason why Wei Leng is so considerate is that every time he comes here, he is too embarrassed to go directly to Jiao's house for a meal, and he doesn't like eating outside, and it's boring to eat alone. Now I know that there are acquaintances from the Jiao family who open a small restaurant, and when they usually come here, they can eat and talk, and if they play too late, they can bring some supper to the group of comrades in the company. If you are used to delicate dishes, the style of Jiao Wei's hometown cuisine should be pretty good.

After Jiao Wei's mother came over, the couple didn't let Jiao Wei suffer, and the rest just stared at the store's renovation, and there was nothing to buy. Even if they wanted to buy something, there were all kinds of shops around Chuhua University, on the side of the central square There are also several large supermarkets, so don't worry too much.

The couple asked Jiao Wei to get acquainted with the school. Father Jiao originally wanted Jiao Yuan to take him for a walk around the campus. A campus map, never lost.

Papa Jiao thought for a while, and shouted to Zheng Tan who was gnawing grapes in the pomelo room: "Heitan, do me a favor and take Weiwei to get familiar with the school!"

Jiao Wei: "..."

When I was in my hometown, many people kept cats. People in rural areas kept cats to catch mice, so there was no such thing as a pet cat. After going to school in the town, some people with better family conditions in the town kept pet dogs and cats. Jiao Wei always felt that it was a waste of money. Perhaps because of his personal circumstances, he didn't understand those people.

After coming here, Jiao Wei saw that Uncle Mingsheng's family, whom his parents said was very capable, also raised a cat, and he was quite fond of the cat. Although Jiao Wei didn't show anything on the surface, he actually had some thoughts in his heart. Not only Uncle Mingsheng's house, but even Qu Xiangyang, who helped them draw the design drawings, and Wei Leng, who helped arrange the tables, chairs and equipment, treated the black cat very well. Jiao Wei always thought it was because of Uncle Mingsheng's face. On, but always a little weird.

Is it true that one person attains enlightenment and ascends to heaven?

However, they used to think that the high-ranking university teachers, as well as those associate professors and professors, people here don’t have much sense of awe when they mention it. That kind of unreachable existence.

Jiao Wei thought of what his class teacher told him before coming here, that in a metropolis like Chuhua City, college students may not be worth much, and even graduate students, doctoral students, etc., will be flooded and depreciated in the next few years. No one can explain the cruelty behind the prosperity, you have to see it yourself and get used to it. People who can't adapt may not even be as good as a cat.

When Jiao Wei's thoughts began to diverge again, Zheng Tan swayed out slowly, chewing on the grapes in his mouth, looked at the person sitting on the sofa holding a campus map in a daze, jumped up and patted his head.

Jiao Wei recovered from his contemplation, he thought it was Uncle Ming Sheng who had knocked him, but when he raised his eyes, he saw a black shadow flickering.

There was only a black cat in front of him, and Associate Professor Jiao Mingsheng Jiao was talking in Jiao Yuan's room, and Xiaoyouzi didn't come out, so it was obvious who took the picture.

After Dad Jiao, who had talked to Jiao Yuan, left the room, Jiao Wei said, "My cat likes to run outside and is very familiar with the school. If you want to find a building but don't know the location, just tell me. It said that if it understands it, it is best to speak Mandarin to it, and it may be difficult to understand the dialect."

"okay."

Jiao Wei actually didn't really believe Father Jiao's words, but out of politeness, he agreed.

Watching one person and one cat go downstairs, Papa Jiao took today's newspaper, spread it out, and sat on the sofa to read it. Young people are always more open-minded and accept some new and strange things easily, and we will get along for a long time in the future. It is also a good thing for Jiao Wei to get in touch with his cat first, so as to save him from being too frightened.

Speaking of which, Jiao Wei followed the cat downstairs, only to find that there was no access control card. Just as he was about to go up and ask, he saw the black cat in front of him jump up and rub against the place where the card was swiped. With a click, the door opened.

Jiao Wei: "..."

Zheng Tan ignored Jiao Wei's surprise and walked out directly.

It’s about three o’clock in the afternoon, and the sun is still bright, but there are trees planted along the roadside in the school, so it’s cooler if you walk to a place with shade.

The huge sycamore tree blocks the sun that shines on the roadway, and only some scattered light spots shine through.

Gusts of wind blow, and the light spots on the road also flicker with the swing of the branches.

Jiao Wei looked at the road ahead and took a deep breath. Just this road was many times longer than their school.

How high you can fly, you can only know by flying first.

Sure enough.

Zheng Tan didn't have the time to observe what the person behind him was thinking. He was thinking about which way to take to avoid getting sunburned. I heard that black absorbs heat!

On the sidewalk, cats walk in front and people follow, without deciding on a destination.

Zheng Tan looked at which road was cloudy and went to that road. When it was not cloudy, he suddenly found that he was in the student dormitory.

The student dormitory is divided into several areas, separate for undergraduates and postgraduates. A new area has also been built at the back, probably for the freshmen to live in, that is, the land near the remote grove, the dormitory has been completed, and it looks like it will be used in September.

And now Zheng Tan is in the postgraduate dormitory area, moving his ears, Zheng Tan suddenly heard a familiar voice. Regardless of Jiao Wei, Zheng Tan climbed up a big sycamore tree next to him, looking for the dormitory where the voice came from.

When he got close to the third floor, Zheng Tan found a place to make a sound. It was a dormitory on the side of the third floor. In summer, the windows were all open, facing the reason, and there was no sunlight coming in at this time.

In Chuhua University, apart from the dormitories for international students, other student dormitories are not equipped with air conditioners. I heard that it will be installed in the dormitory for doctoral students by the end of this year. As for when it will be the turn of master students and undergraduate students, it is unknown .

The worst thing is that there is a power limit in Huantama, high-power electrical appliances cannot be used, the "little sun" cannot be used in winter, and air conditioners cannot be rented privately in summer. After the students protested, it is estimated that the regulations on electricity restriction in master's dormitories will be canceled within two years. As for the undergraduates, hehe, let's continue to suffer.

The weather in Chuhua City is so hot that you can't wait to die of heat. When you stay in the dormitory during the day, you can't solve many problems with electric fans.

The master’s dormitories in our school are not divided into four-person rooms, six-person rooms, and eight-person rooms like undergraduate students. At this moment, Zheng Tan saw that in that dormitory, four boys moved the direction of the closet to make room, and each of them stayed in an inflatable bathtub filled with water.

There is a small stool among the four inflatable bathtubs, and a chess board is placed on the stool, and the four of them are playing flying chess.

And in the inflatable bathtub that was obviously larger in size, Su Qu was staying in it, with a towel on his head, holding a piece of watermelon in one hand, and throwing dice in the other.

"Haha! Grandpa's last plane has also entered the terminal! If you lose, hurry up and bring watermelon here! You can't miss a piece, and if you don't have one, go and cut the melon!" While talking, Su Qu also floated watermelon in the inflatable bathtub Pick up the little yellow duckling, the kind of children's bath toy, and squeeze it twice, making a beeping sound, laughing like an idiot.

Zheng Tan: "..."

What a shame!
