The traces of the first snow of this winter are slowly dissipating, but the power of winter is gradually deepening.

There is an old saying that snow does not turn cold when it becomes cold.

When Xu Jie was a human being before, because he would pay attention to the increase or decrease of clothes with the temperature, he did not have such a deep understanding of this sentence.

Now after being a cat that relies on fur for everything, it has deeply realized the meaning of this sentence.

Don't look at the sun outside when you get up in the morning, after Xu Jie, who was confused, climbed out of the house to send Mo out, he was quickly blown back by the cold wind.

Mrs. Fujimoto, who was bringing breakfast to the table, saw the appearance of her cat coming back from the outside with a shrunken head, and immediately said: "Look at the appearance of the great sage, when you go out to show your head, you will be frozen and almost shrunk into a ball, so I will find out the down jacket for you." ”

With that, Mrs. Fujimoto took off her apron and went into the room to rummage through thick clothes for the family.

At this moment, the phone on the other side of the entrance suddenly rang.

Mr. Fujimoto put down the newspaper in his hand and got up to answer the phone in the entrance.

Then Xu Jie, who was burying his head in eating breakfast with Ah Zhong Heiyu, listened to Mr. Fujimoto holding the microphone and said: "Moxi Moxi is Fujimoto's house, oh, it's my mother." Are you coming over tomorrow? No problem when the car, I'll pick you up. Ah, did you come here by hitchhiking? Okay, we'll be back tomorrow at noon. ”

As soon as Mr. Fujimoto put down the phone, Mrs. Fujimoto walked out of the room with a stack of thick down jackets.

As she walked, she asked, "Is it the mother from the suburbs who wants to come?" When is the time to come? ”

When Mr. Fujimoto heard this, he took the clothes from his wife and said, "Mom said that she misses us, and it just so happens that tomorrow my neighbor Brother Yamaguchi is going to drive into the city, so she will come over with a hitchhiker to see us, saying that she can come to us at noon, and we will come back tomorrow at noon for dinner." ”

When Mrs. Fujimoto heard this, she said, "Of course, there is no problem, but the last time I saw my mother was when you went to the beach for a meeting, and we went to the suburbs to pick up the children together." It was still early autumn, and now it's winter, and I haven't seen her for nearly three months, and I miss her a little. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Fujimoto seemed to suddenly remember something, clapped her hands before continuing: "I remember, mother, she is not used to air conditioning, and when we come back tonight, we have to find out the table warmer." ”

After breakfast, the Fujimoto family began to go out one after another.

Xu Jie looked at the hat, scarf, and gloves on the upper half of his body, but Junzi was still wearing a school uniform and skirt on the lower half of his body, and couldn't help but sigh that the girls here were really frost-resistant.

After dinner in the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Fujimoto began to rummage through the storage room in the house.

After a while, the couple worked together to lift a pair of square tabletops.

This thing is the warm table in Mrs. Fujimoto's mouth, Xu Jie wagged his tail around the 'warm table' several times, and then remembered where he had seen this kind of thing.

This kind of thing is very common in cartoons, that is, it is placed in the living room, like a table, and anything can be placed. It is surrounded by quilts or blankets, and the legs and body can be placed in a large warm table.

This kind of thing is called a quilt in some places, and a table warmer in some places.

It has two countertops with a blanket or quilt in between. Under the supported countertop, there is a heating unit that generates heat.

It is said that before air conditioning and other heating equipment became popular, table warmers were a must-have in almost every household here. When you don't have anything to go out in the winter, you can almost stay inside all day without moving.

Like the Fujimoto couple, most of the memories of winter in their childhood were spent in the warm table.

So when she lifted the warm table out, Mrs. Fujimoto was still full of nostalgia and stroked the dust on it with her hand.

Then the couple worked together to lift the table warmer to the living room and install it.

This table warmer has been used by their family for more than 10 years, and it was bought and used by the Fujimoto couple when they were newly married.

Later, within a few years, an air conditioner was installed in the house, and this table warmer naturally became useless.

However, every winter, when the elderly on both sides of the family come to see the children, this warm table still has to be carried out for a purpose.

Because the elderly who have been in the countryside for most of their lives are not very good at using air conditioners, they are still more accustomed to using table warmers for heating.

In order to make the elderly comfortable, the Fujimoto couple also prepared a soft sofa in the living room of their home, which is used to match the warm table.

After preparing all the qiē, the Fujimotos left the living room and returned to their room.

People are gone, but the animals in the family are staying, Xu Jie is very curious about this kind of 'artifact' that was only famous before, and has never been seen, and kept using his paws to pluck the quilt that was sandwiched between the bed and the warm table.

Compared with Xu Jie's politeness, Ah Zhong's reaction was much more straightforward.

It was more than a year old this year, and it was brought home by Mr. Fujimoto when it was three months old, when it was the tail of winter, and the heating equipment used in the house was also this warming table.

In the first memory of Ah Zhong's Fujimoto family, the proportion of this warm table was quite large, so Ah Zhong, who relived the old dream, ignored his body that had grown a lot, and excitedly drilled under the table.

Compared to their black feathers, it is much quieter, it is an old member of the family, and it is no wonder that it is not strange to warm the table, which is used several times a year in winter.

When Mo crawled in from the catroad outside, he noticed that there was an extra thing in the living room of Fujimoto's house.

Standing on top of the cat's climbing shelf and observing it, he made sure that the thing was safe and harmless before arching himself and jumping down.

Stepping on the cat steps to the little fat man's room, bypassing Jiantai, who was burying his head in his homework, came to the living area of the little raccoon flower, Mo stretched out his head to look into the cat nest, it was empty, there was no cat.

Mo raised his eyebrows when he saw this, he obviously felt that the little raccoon flower was at home, and now he didn't watch TV in the living room, nor did he rest in the cat kennel, where did he go?

Thinking like this, Mo raised his head and sniffed in the air with his nose.

Well, although the smell of the little raccoon flowers in this room is very strong, it is slowly spreading, and the little raccoon flowers must have not come back for at least four or five hours.

Hey, the smell here is stronger than that over there, so the little raccoon flower should be coming this way.

Following the direction in which the smell spread, Mo walked out of Kenta's room with a shaky beard.

The smell of civet flowers in the living room is very strong, and it looks like it should be here.

Mo looked around the living room with golden brown cat's eyes, and finally stopped at the newly appeared warm table in the living room.

In order to accommodate the warm table, the original table in the living room has been moved, and the soft chair has been relocated.

Now in the entire living room, the only thing that can be used to hide the cat is the bottom of the warm table.

So Mo walked over and lifted the quilt with his paws, and put his head in to see, and sure enough, his little raccoon flower was sleeping in it, and there was the big golden retriever dog lying next to him.

Seeing this, Mo walked over gently, pushed his body into the middle of Xu Jie and Ah Zhong, and squeezed himself in.

Feeling that there was something around him, Ah Zhong raised his ear and opened one eye to glance at it, and when he saw that it was ink, he turned over and continued to sleep.

As for Xu Jie, he was really familiar with Mo's breath and body temperature, so he didn't open his eyes, just wrinkled his nose and snorted a few times, then leaned on Mo's back and snored.

That night, the cats and dogs did not go back to their nests to rest, and the next morning, when the Fujimoto family came out for breakfast, they saw their cats and dogs coming out from under the warm table.

The shaky golden retriever stuck out his tongue and ran towards his master, who had slept all night and now wanted some food.

After it, it was Xu Jie who came out of the warm table, coiled in it for a night, and after coming out, Xu Jie first supported himself on all four paws.

Mo came out after Xu Jie, and he first kicked his neck with his hind legs, scratched it, and then leaned over to Xu Jie's side and asked, "Ajie, what do you want to eat this morning?" Do you want to eat canned cat food, or do you want me to go out and find you something to eat? “

Hearing this, Xu Jie turned around and looked at the warm table behind him, he was very satisfied with this new toy, and Xu Jie, who had not played enough, thought about it and said, "Meow doesn't want to go out today, so I want to stay at home." “

After listening to this, Mo licked the top of Xu Jie's head with his tongue and said, "Okay, when I finish inspecting the territory, I'll come back to accompany you." “

In order to come back early to accompany the little raccoon flower, Mo jumped out of the cat road without even eating breakfast.

After sending the children away, the Fujimoto couple also brought the golden retriever into the car.

Looking at Ah Zhong who was taken away by the doctor, Xu Jie remembered that today is the day to do daily care for Ah Zhong.

It didn't take long for Hei Yu, who usually liked to stay at home, to fly out early today, so in the huge family, only Xu Jie was left panting.

Xu Jie, who was bored, turned on the TV, flipped through the program with the remote control for a while, but didn't find what he wanted to watch, and turned off the TV again.

I went into the house and took out my toys and cushions, and chased and played with them for a while, and then I felt bored again.

In the end, Xu Jie still threw those things aside, and went to sleep under the warm table with his own cushion in his mouth.

When Mo returned, he heard the snoring of his little raccoon flower under the warm table. Mo, who was in a hurry to accompany it, hurriedly bit a few times in his own food plate, and after swallowing half of the plate, he got under the warm table.

In there, Xu Jie was leaning on his own cushion, sleeping sweetly.

Seeing this, Mo stared at it tenderly for a long time, and then leaned over, licked Xu Jie's undulating little belly with his tongue, and finally fell asleep on it.
