Feng Yiping's family has always had cats.

When he was in the fourth grade of primary school, Feng Yiping's essay "My Cat" won the first prize for the essay of primary school students in the county that year, which was their best result in primary school for several years. The Chinese teachers in the school were full of praise for the essay and rushed to circulate it, but Feng Yiping couldn't remember what was written now. He only remembered that the comments of the head teacher at the time, who was also the Chinese teacher of their class, seemed to be, "I wrote my true feelings." ”

Having a cat at home is also a practical necessity.

When I was a child, although my family was poor, there were still a lot of things in the warehouse and on the beams. Not to mention the two staple foods of rice and wheat, there are also peanuts, soybeans, sorghum, sesame, squash, sweet potatoes and many others, which are very attractive to mice, and when they sleep at night, they often hear rats squirming everywhere.

Mouse traps cost money to buy, and the effect is not great, rat medicine should be very careful, and it does not play a role, the most practical is still cats.

It is said that the cat is a noble animal, and it is. Its nobility is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

One is to love cleanliness. The cat is very hygienic and didn't see it bathing, but it was always clean. Every time I finish eating, I always lick my paws and the grease stains on my body very cleanly. And when it's convenient, it's avoidant, and when it's over, it buries the excrement.

The second is demeanor. Although it grew up in the homes of ordinary people, when it walked, it was always unhurried, neither humble nor arrogant, unconcerned, and ignorant, just like those officials pacing in Peking Opera. No matter how eagerly you call it, it will at most look up at you lazily, and it will still maintain its original rhythm when it is over.

The cat never lies on its stomach, it either squats on the ground in a standard position, also occupies a chair, or squats on it. Sometimes they jump on the stove, jump on the high cupboard, and perch on it as a crouching tiger. Only in the cold winter will it relax and lazily lie on a chair by the fire to roast the fire.

The third is that cats are very self-reliant. With a cat, it is difficult for you to feel that you are his owner. It will never flatter you, buy you and wag its tail at you just because you throw it a piece of fish. Of course, in the countryside, only during the Chinese New Year, Feng Yiping had the opportunity to carry his parents behind his back and throw a piece of fish to the cat. At this time, it will scream, and then jump over quickly, and will not "meow" at you after eating, but will squat there silently for a while, and it will eat, and when it is full, it will not pay attention to the fish bones, meat and bones on the ground.

More often than not, the family can only feed it with leftovers, and it will eat a few bites to save face, and many times, when everyone has finished eating, it will scream a few times, and when you put the rice in its bowl, it will look at it a few times, and then jump back to the chair and sit. Then at some point it was gone, and when it waited for the next meal, I poured it out to the pig, and then served it a hot meal, and it looked at it, but it didn't move.

When it is thirsty, it will not look for water to drink, jump on the water tank, easily grab the edge of the water tank, bend its head, and lick the water with its tongue to drink.

Also, cats will never be flattering to their owners. You tease it, when it's in a good mood, it doesn't take it to heart, and when it's in a bad mood, it will definitely scratch you.

Of course, it also has measure, as long as you don't overdo it, its claws don't push too hard.

Finally, it's the cat that is very atmospheric. In the evening, the rat came out again, sizzling, and then suddenly let out a short scream, and then calmed down, it was the cat hunting. Then the mice come out less and less at night, and become more and more careful, and the cats will never ask you for credit.

Also, Feng Yiping watched the scene of the cat playing with the mouse at least twice. Tsk, at that time, the demeanor and bearing of the cat would be convincing. To make an inappropriate analogy, it is similar to Kong Ming's seven captures and seven longitudinal Meng Huo.

From the time when Feng Yiping remembered, the first cat raised at home was a little yellow cat sent by his grandfather, the cat grew up, and never came back after going out one day.

The second cat has a lot of stories. It was not caught from someone else's house, it could be said that it was sent to the door by itself.

It was a winter evening, in another family in the village, the child was full moon, entertaining during the day and playing an open-air movie at night. In the era when TV was not popular, this was a rare modern entertainment in the countryside, and Feng Yiping of course watched it with his mother and sister on a stool. Seeing the halfway, a cat jumped straight into my sister's arms, and fell asleep without seeing it, my sister put it on the ground several times, and it came back several times, and it followed after the end, and it couldn't be driven away, and then my mother said, then take it, and the cat has been followed to the house.

It was a good-looking cat, with jet-black fur, smooth like satin, but on the chest, there was a piece of pure white, black and white, very beautiful. The eyes are slightly blue, very spirited, and there are three beards on each side of the cheeks, which is very generous.

This cat is amazing.

At that time, a new house had not yet been built, and he lived in an old house in the middle of the building. Because he treated his mother, he owed a lot of debts, so less than one-fifth of the pigs he killed were left in the family, and the rest were sold to pay off the debts. In addition, I only bought some cabbage vermicelli, and I was careful about my budget, barely enough to eat for a few days during the New Year, and then entertain guests in the New Year.

It was the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and in one more day it would be the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. At the beginning of the afternoon, it snowed heavily, and there was no electricity at that time, so it was an oil lamp, but there was snow outside the window, and it was brighter than the usual night.

In the evening, just entertained a group of debt collectors, Feng Yiping and his mother and sister were about to eat with leftovers, when the door "squeaked", and the cat squeezed open the door and walked in. My sister had sharp eyes, looked back, saw that it seemed to be dragging something, put down the dishes and chopsticks to take a look, and then shouted, "Dad, Mom, come and see, the cat caught a rabbit!"

Everyone was amazed, and when they looked over, they saw that it was dragging a fluffy gray rabbit, which looked bigger than the cat itself, and it was not known how it caught it. This fat rabbit, of course, became a delicacy on the table during the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which was also a rare thing to bring joy to the family in that not rich Spring Festival.

This has happened more than once. At that time, there were few varieties of vegetables, and in June of the following year, the vegetables in the vegetable garden from the previous season were old, and the vegetables in season had not yet grown. It was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the housewives tried their best, and during that time, most people could only eat with all kinds of pickled vegetables or dried vegetables.

The dried vegetables are generally dried radish, dried daylily, dried languin, or some wild vegetables left behind from the sun.

In that green and yellow days one after another, Feng Yiping ate a lot of dishes that he could never eat again.

His least favorite thing to eat is peanut sprouts. When pulling peanuts, there are always some fish that slip through the net, after a few days of rain, peanuts sprout, emerge from the ground, people work in the mountains when they pick it up, wash it, fry it, add water to boil, and then serve it to the table, it is a rare green dish on the table at that time. Peanut sprouts are not as delicious as bean sprouts, it is very green, slightly older and a little bitter, bitter Feng Yiping can eat, the green is very heavy, and it is heavier than the green of chrysanthemum, he can't get used to it, so he only makes a little soup, or eats pickles.

The days of autumn are fine. Clean up the vegetable garden, the peppers are going to be pulled, and some of the small peppers that have not grown up on the top do not remove the seeds, take a knife and pat it, add oil and stir-fry, it is very delicious.

There are also green onions, pull back a large handful of green onions, wash them and fry them with oil, they are very fragrant and very good.

In autumn, when the weather cools down, several families work together to make tofu, which will not be sour for a few days. Tofu can be fried, cooked, and fried, with many patterns, and it is considered a good dish. A few families have a point, each family doesn't have much, and they can't eat a few meals. No one has the luxury of making tofu every few days, and in the countryside, life is not like that.

So Mei Qiuping tried to find a way to take back the bean dregs left over from making tofu, boil it with oil, add chili powder, and sprinkle with chopped green onions, although the beany smell is still very strong, it's not pickles anyway.

On such a day when the cat came back, it brought back a salted fish! It was an unexpected surprise, so the family didn't care which one it came from, so they finally opened the meat.

Who knew that a few days later, it came back with another one! At this moment, Mei Qiuping was a little uneasy. At that time in the countryside, losing one or two fish was not a trivial matter. Many people have lost a small gourd in their vegetable gardens, and they will cross their waists on the hill and scold the whole gourd for a while. At least two salted fish like this are missing at once, which is worth scolding the housewife on the hill for a long time.

But in those days, I didn't hear anyone say that they had lost a fish, so everyone praised the cat, it was really sensible, and it was really for the sake of the family.

Of course, once, the cat also scared Feng Yiping sturdily. It was a summer noon, Feng Yiping was taking a nap in bed, half-asleep, and suddenly saw a black claw parting the mosquito net and stretching it out towards him, and he was scared into a cold sweat. After calming down, it turned out that the cat also came to sleep on the bed, because of the angle, the black cat's claw looked very big at that time, like the devil's claw in Feng Yiping's imagination.

As Feng Yiping grew up, the cat also grew old. is such an empathetic, considerate family, destined to be a member of Feng Yiping's family, in the first semester of Feng Yiping's fourth grade, one early winter morning, went out, and never came back.

A few days later, on Sunday morning, the fourth boy came to his house and said that he saw the cat on a paulownia tree on the hill and had gone away. Feng Yiping didn't follow at that time, Feng Zhenchang and Si Bo took the cat down from the paulownia tree and buried it on the mountain.

This magical cat is like a gift from heaven to their family, and even the way it leaves this world is so different and noble.
