Strange Life of a Cat

At the end of August and the beginning of September, the campus was very lively. Parents of freshmen who sent their children over were everywhere, taking pictures with cameras at many landmark buildings of Chuhua University.

When Zheng Tan went out for a walk, he saw some parents saying goodbye to their children at the door of the student dormitory with smiles on their faces. They were about to leave here to catch the train home, but they started crying before walking far, and some aunts cried until their makeup was worn.

Jiao's father said that many parents did not send their children here because they were afraid of reluctance. Although those parents did not come, they would cry for a long time at the train after sending their children to the train in their hometown.

Zheng Tan didn't understand this, at least he hadn't experienced it himself.

When he was in college, he went to the school with a few friends, and the school was not too far from where he lived. Coupled with the cold relationship with his parents, he couldn't feel that kind of feeling at all. I have never been a father before, and I don't understand the kind of reluctance of a child who is about to travel far when he grows up.

It was a strange feeling.

At Jiao's house, Jiao Yuan was taken by Jiao's mother, and went to the junior high school with several parents and children in the compound. They didn't have to squeeze to see the class list like other students, because they already knew the class and class they were in. head teacher.

With the presence of a few special parents, the children in the compound were all assigned to the same class, just because they were afraid of being bullied there. Children in middle school are immature and easily impulsive, and no one knows if there will be any fights, so it is better to unite together, and parents can know what is going on in advance, even if they go home by bike a companion.

Jiao Yuan and the others were very happy about this. They all stayed at school for lunch at noon. Jiao's mother was busy with school, and now she still had Jiao Yuan to take care of. She didn't go home at noon and took the other children to eat in the staff canteen. a little better.

Because of Xiaoyouzi's grade skipping, she started school in the fourth grade. There are acquaintances in the same class, Yue Lisha and Xie Xin who live in the family compound in the West District, a deputy monitor and a study committee member, who belong to the big sister in the class. , They are also familiar with Xiaoyouzi, so Dad Jiao is not afraid that Xiaoyouzi will be bullied because of her young age in class.

At noon, the end-of-school music from the attached primary school played.

Jiao Wei stood at the entrance of the attached primary school and looked at the children who ran out of it, looking for the figure of Xiaoyouzi.

Every day at noon, he would come here to wait for Xiaoyouzi to go to his own shop for dinner. Their small restaurant has just opened. Although the location is not as good as other restaurants, there are many people and repeat customers when the school starts. During this period of time, the business is pretty good. I invited a fellow villager to come over to help. When I am free, Jiao Wei also I used to help, but my mother always pushed him out to prevent him from getting oily fumes.

Originally, Papa Jiao and Xiaoyuzi were planning to eat in the cafeteria, but Jiao Wei's parents asked them to eat in the restaurant. The place after school was crowded with people and the cafeteria was crowded. Besides, home-cooked food always makes people feel more comfortable eating. Jiao's father wanted to give money, but Jiao Wei's parents didn't accept it. Finally, under Jiao's father's persuasion, they took a symbolic amount, and every time Jiao's father and Xiaoyouzi went, the food was very generous. The oil used is also good oil.

Father Jiao is also busy during this period, and the time is uncertain, so the task of picking up Xiaoyouzi's past falls on Jiao Wei.

Xiaoyouzi originally said that she could go there by herself, she knew the way, and she was already in the fourth grade, so there was no need for an adult to follow. But Papa Jiao is not at ease, especially now that there are many people in school, there are many people, stealing wallets, mobile phones, bicycles, etc., who can be sure that there is no kidnapping and trafficking of children?

Now Jiao Wei is not as dull as before, he is more relaxed, and he has practiced Mandarin more naturally, and the surrounding dialects make him relax a lot. The campus is always simpler than the society. Sometimes people who know Xiaoyuzi talk to him, and Jiao Wei also responds with a smile.

While waiting, Jiao Wei sensed movement on the fence next to him, and he knew it was the precious black cat of the Jiao family without looking.

When Jiao Wei came to pick up Xiaoyouzi on the first day, Zheng Tan had played too much outside and came late. After Jiao Wei received Xiaoyouzi, he was going to take her to his store, but Xiaoyouzi didn't leave, instead he kicked the stones on the ground with his toes, waited at the school gate, and looked around from time to time. After asking, Jiao Wei found out that Xiaoyouzi was waiting for her black cat, and she would not leave until she waited.

Jiao Wei raised his head and looked at the black cat standing on the fence. After this period of time, he gradually got used to some of the cat's behaviors, and he also somewhat understood why the Jiao family cherished it so much. Jiao Yuan told him about other glorious deeds of the cat, and it was hard to imagine that it was only a cat that did those things. And the Jiao family seems to regard it as another child, Jiao Wei still can't understand this point, no matter how smart and understanding, isn't it still a cat?

Zheng Tan can find the little pomelo from among the children at a glance, and jumps off the fence when he sees it. After the little pomelo comes out, he goes to Jiao Wei's restaurant for food.

There is a simple shed upstairs in the small restaurant of Jiao Wei’s family. It was built by the original owner and used to store goods. Now Jiao Wei’s parents have made a small room for them to rest and take a nap when there are no customers. There is also a foldable small square table like in Jiao Yuan's room, Dad Jiao and Xiaoyouzi usually eat there, although it is a bit hot, but fortunately the temperature in September is not as harsh as July and August, so I put a thread in it. It's okay to blow it with an electric fan.

The people in Jiao Wei's family have also gotten used to the way Father Jiao treats Zheng Tan, so they feed the cats just like humans. Mother Jiao bought a special bowl for Zheng Tan to use here.

Papa Jiao didn't have time at noon today, Yi Xin and the others had already brought food for him, so they didn't come over to eat.

After Xiaoyouzi finished her meal, Jiao Wei would take her home. At noon, he would also stay at Jiao's house for a lunch break, and then take Xiaoyouzi to school after class in the afternoon.

When I went back, I took a takeaway, which was Qu Xiangyang's lunch.

Just after entering the courtyard, a private car drove in. Jiao Wei looked around and made four circles. What a rich man!

Unexpectedly, the next moment the car stopped next to them, the window opened, revealing a familiar face of Zheng Tan.

"Grapefruit, Heitan!"

Xiaoyouzi looked at the man and grinned. She had a good impression of Fang Shaokang, knowing that this person brought Heitan home, so she smiled rarely every time she saw Fang Shaokang.

Zheng Tan was still like that, and didn't react when he saw it.

"Who is this?" Fang Shaokang looked at Jiao Wei.

After Jiao Wei introduced himself, Fang Shaokang said, "That's right, help me move things later."

After Fang Shaokang parked the car, Zheng Tan went up to see what Fang Shaokang was carrying.

As soon as he got out of the car, Fang Shaokang lifted the little pomelo and hugged him. He also has a little daughter, and he usually likes it like this. Little Grapefruit didn't reject it too much.

After hugging Xiaoyouzi, Fang Shaokang lifted Zheng Tan who was about to jump into the car to see what happened, but Zheng Tan stepped on his face.

Fang Shaokang didn't mind either, and put Zheng Tan down with a smile, "It seems heavy."

Jiao Wei standing next to him twitched. Nonsense, can this cat not get heavy just by eating it? Have a big bowl for every meal!

Fang Shaokang didn't say anything anymore, and opened the car door. There were two large cardboard boxes on the back seat of the car, and it was impossible to tell what they were.

"These are..." Jiao Wei asked.

Fang Shaokang said frightenedly: "Cat climbing frame!"

Jiao Wei: "..."

Xiaoyouzi helped carry Qu Xiangyang's lunch, while Jiao Wei and Fang Shaokang each carried a cardboard box.

Jiao Wei really didn't know what to say, the cat climbed the frame, it was a cat again! It's packed in two big cardboard boxes, which is quite heavy.

After carrying the box up to the fifth floor, after resting for a while, Qu Xiangyang came over with his lunch. While eating, he gathered around the box and studied the contents.

Although Xiaoyuzi really wanted to see how the cat climbing frame was installed, Fang Shaokang would not start work during the nap time, so he had to wait until the lunch break was over before finishing.

Wandering to the balcony, Fang Shaokang turned on his mobile phone and called Father Jiao: "Hey, Teacher Jiao, I am Fang Saner."

Dad Jiao was in a hurry when he answered the phone. He didn't see the caller ID. He didn't react when he heard "Fang San'er". He paused for a few seconds before saying, "Oh, Mr. Fang, hello."

"I'm at your house right now. I've assembled a cat climbing frame. I'm going to install it this afternoon. Let me tell you first..." In the afternoon, there is no one in Jiao's house. Fang Shaokang is here to install the cat climbing frame. Talk to the owner.

Dad Jiao has nothing to object to, and he is looking forward to Fang Shaokang's results.

Jiao Wei, who was sitting in the living room, was a little speechless towards this rich-looking man, and he treated cats better than people. Look at the black cat lying on the edge of the cardboard box and looking in, tsk, why can't you understand what these people are thinking?

After the lunch break, Jiao Wei left to go to class, and sent Xiaoyouzi to school by the way. When leaving, Xiaoyouzi took a few glances at the cardboard box placed in the center of the living room.

Zheng Tan stayed at home and watched Fang Shaokang assemble the cat climbing frame.

Zheng Tan had seen a cat climbing frame from Xiao Guo, so he had a general idea, but seeing what Fang Shaokang took out, it was a little different from what he imagined.

Although there are some things that I don’t understand, there are some similarities. For example, the shelf installed in the corner of Xiaoyouzi’s room is composed of columns wrapped with hemp rope, pallets and some plates. The difference is that other than this In addition, some things fixed on the wall were added, and Zheng Tan could use the steps made up of small boards protruding from the wall to walk to the newly installed "passage" near the ceiling, and from this "passage" Go to the window on the door of Xiaoyouzi's room. When the window is open, you can jump out directly. When it is not open, you can see the living room.

The shelf is independent. If you feel that it is not suitable to put it here, you can also move it to other places in the house. The flannelette on the shelf can be changed and washed, so you don't have to worry about bacteria breeding if it gets too dirty. Except for the "walkway" near the ceiling and the "steps" on the wall, most of the other connecting pillars are easy to disassemble and belong to the nail-free design. Without nails, the whole shelf can be stabilized without tools. Manual disassembly.

The space in Jiao's house is too small, and Fang Shaokang can't get the desired effect, so he can only "make do with it". He also wants to put some in the hall, but it is not his home after all, and the space here is too big. Mini, after thinking about it, Fang Shaokang still gave up, and kept the remaining materials for now, and then installed it when the Jiao family wanted to install it later.

No matter "make do" or not, the people of Jiao's family are quite satisfied with this cat climbing frame, and Xiaoyouzi also likes it very much. Anyway, she has few things in her room, so it's okay to put a cat climbing frame, and use it reasonably when assembling Checking the remaining space, it looks almost the same as before the installation.

I have to say that Fang Shaokang really put a lot of thought into this cat climbing frame.

However, on the night when the cat climbing frame was assembled, Zheng Tan... still got into Xiaoyouzi's bed.

How can a cat climbing frame be as comfortable as a bed?
