Chapter 4: A New Day
A good night is always very fast, and the sky is exposed to the whiteness of the fish belly in the blink of an eye.
"Chirp chirpβ" The early sparrow on the branch couldn't help but cry happily.
After the baptism of spring rain, the air is much fresher, and every time the wind blows, it is mixed with a hint of earthy fragrance. Of course, this comfort can only be felt by those who can enjoy life, and for those who are still struggling to earn money to support their families, it simply means that the next day's work is coming.
For Chu Sheng, this means that his difficult cat life has come to the fourth day, and it is another day that he basically can't predict and control.
"Hah-"
Chu Sheng opened his eyes, yawned heavily, and then bowed his body again and stretched a big lazy waist. It was arguably the most restful, warmest night he slept after becoming a cat, and his stomach didn't growl.
"Hah-"
Another yawn, but halfway through this yawn, Chu Sheng stopped and tilted his head to look at his body.
"It's not a dream...... Fortunately, I met this good man named Ma Xiaofu last night, otherwise I would have frozen to death on the street..."
After confirming that he was a cat again, Chu Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. However, soon Chu Sheng regained his strength and came out of the hole in the milk crate.
In the past three days, Chu Sheng has prayed almost every time that this is just a dream, wishing that he would open his eyes and see that he was sleeping on a soft bed. However, reality always gave him a cold punch, telling him that he was a stray cat now, and that he was poorly weak and helpless.
"Squeak-"
At the same time that Chu Sheng had just drilled out, the iron door was also opened. As soon as the room, which had been closed all night, was opened, a strong smell emanated. It was a mixture of smells, such as fumes, dampness, and socks.
Ma Xiaofu came out of the door, and it was still the same clothes that Chu Sheng saw yesterday.
"Meow~"
Chu Sheng greeted warmly.
"Did the little guy get up early~ How is it, the nest I made is quite comfortable~"
Ma Xiaofu heard the cat's meow, scratched his hair with his hand, and subconsciously replied. After yesterday's scene, in Ma Xiaofu's heart, he actually tacitly acquiesced that the kitten who followed him home could understand human speech.
"Can you eat something before you go?"
Fang Fang's voice came from behind Ma Xiaofu.
"No, no, I'll go to the door and buy two buns and buy a bottle of soy milk, if I'm late, I'll be deducted how unjust." β
"Then you can bring a bag of milk and add more nutrients. β
Fang Fang said and took a packet of milk and handed it to Ma Xiaofu.
"Thank you, Sister Fang~"
Ma Xiaofu took the milk and kissed Fangfang's face, and left in a hurry.
"Don't forget to have breakfast. β
Looking at the figure of Ma Xiaofu leaving, Fangfang couldn't help but say another word of advice to the past.
"Got it~"
Ma Xiaofu's voice came from afar.
When Ma Xiaofu was completely far away, Fangfang returned to the garage room.
"Little thing, are you hungry?"
Looking at the thin Chu Sheng at his feet, Fang Fang asked with a concerned expression.
"Meow~"
Chu Sheng felt the empty stomach for a moment, nodded and screamed softly.
After seeing this action, Fang Fang's eyes were different when she looked at Chu Sheng, and her eyes were full of surprise. Because in Fangfang's cognition, she has never seen a cat take the initiative to nod and answer a question. Even if there really is, it is also trained, anyway, Fangfang has never seen it, not to mention that the kitten in front of her should have just been full moon.
"No wonder that guy Ma Xiaofu said that you are smart, and he is really right. If you really can understand, don't run around, I'll make some breakfast and it will be delicious. β
"Meow~"
Chu Sheng replied lightly and then squatted on the ground.
"The little guy is quite interesting~"
Fang Fang looked at Chu Sheng's well-behaved appearance, couldn't help but smile, and gently touched Chu Sheng's head a few times.
Back in the house, Fangfang began to get busy. I saw that she skillfully got some hot water in the rice cooker, and put the little rice left from last night into it, and then plugged in the power and pressed the cooking button.
Fangfang beat two more eggs in a bowl and beat them with chopsticks, then cut some chopped green onions, lit the gas, and put the frying spoon on it. When the pot was hot, Fang Fang scooped some oil with an oil spoon and poured it into the pot. After waiting for a while, when there was a little heat coming out of the pot, Fangfang put the chopped green onions into the pot.
"Crackling"
After a fierce sound, the aroma of green onions spreads out. Fang Fang saw that the green onion had changed color a little, so she poured the eggs in the bowl into the pot, and then quickly stir-fried it with a spatula.
After a short stir-fry, Fangfang turned down the heat, poured a little salt into the pot and stir-fried a few times, then turned off the heat and put the eggs on a plate.
Because the scrambled eggs were short, the porridge was not yet cooked, so Fangfang sat on the chair and turned on the TV to watch the news.
Chu Sheng took advantage of this effort and stretched out his head to glance at this garage room a few times.
Although it was already daylight, the lights in the room were still on. Because there are no windows, even though the sun has risen in the east, there is still no way to fully illuminate the house.
Because it was a cat, this slightly gloomy scene did not affect Chu Sheng's vision at all.
The garage where Ma Xiaofu and Fangfang live is very crowded, about 20 square meters. In fact, this area is not too small if it is just for people, but they have to separate a little space to make a bathroom, and also to separate a little space for cooking, and then put a dining table for beds, luggage, and all kinds of things, so that down, this space is obviously not big enough, but these things are indeed not easy to omit, so Ma Xiaofu and Fangfang are also a little helpless. Unless you change to a bigger rent, but then the rent will be very expensive, Ma Xiaofu and Fangfang have just come to the city, and they are really distressed to spend so much money at once.
Because the rice soup is made with hot water and cooked rice, the cooking time is quite fast, and after a while, the pot has been boiled, but because of the small amount, it does not overflow.
Seeing that Fangfang didn't notice watching TV, Chu Sheng hurriedly reminded him.
"Meow!"
As expected, this cat meow successfully attracted Fangfang's attention.
"I almost forgot about this stubble......."
Turning her head and seeing the heat on the rice cooker, Fang Fang hurriedly got up and lifted the lid of the pot, and then quickly turned off the power.
"Wouldn't this kitten just now be reminding me that the pot is boiling?"
Fang Fang picked up the bowl from the table and muttered to herself as she spooned out the porridge. To be honest, she can still accept the human nature of animals, but she has really never seen such a smart kitten, which is really a little unbelievable.
"Oh~Let's eat~"
Fang Fang put a small bowl full of porridge in front of Chu Sheng, and a layer of fragrant scrambled eggs was spread on top.
Not only that, Chu Sheng also noticed that the bowl used to serve his rice was brushed, and the whole body was very clean, without a little dirty feeling. For this, Chu Sheng was still very moved.
"Meow~"
Chu Sheng screamed gratefully, and rubbed his head against Fangfang's legs, after a night of drying, the mud and dust on Chu Sheng's body were basically gone.
"You little guy, I didn't expect it to be a bit cute, even the more I look at it, the more I like it, I really don't know how you became a stray cat ....."
Looking at Chu Sheng's somewhat gray orange fur and the very obvious ribs, Fangfang took two more eggs for Chu Sheng and put them in the bowl.
