Xu Jie, who slept in the cat's kennel early in the morning, was woken up by the noise outside.

Rubbing the corners of his eyes with his paws, helping the eye feces on them, supporting his waist and arching his body, his paws grabbing Mo's big long hair, Xu Jie bowed his waist comfortably.

There seemed to be a lot of people talking in the living room outside the room, and Xu Jie, who heard the conversation, shook his ears and distinguished, he felt that there must be at least five or six people in the living room now.

I looked up at the alarm clock that the little fat man had placed on the bedside table, it was just over seven o'clock in the morning.

After seeing the alarm clock, Xu Jie tilted his head in confusion, who would choose this time to come to the door?

Xu Jie, who couldn't figure it out, jumped out of the cat nest and trotted to the living room.

As soon as he arrived in the living room, Xu Jie found that there were really a lot of people here, in addition to Junko and Little Fat Man, who didn't have to go to school during spring break, and Mr. and Mrs. Fujimoto, Grandma Fujimoto, Aunt Etsuko and Mr. Ishikawa were also there.

In addition, there are two guests who Xu Jie doesn't know sitting in the living room, and they are both in their early sixties, about the same age as Fujimoto.

The first person to find out that Xu Jie came out was a little fat man, and I saw him running over, reaching through Xu Jie's two front paws, and holding Xu Jie's armpits to pick it up.

He put his hands on his hands and sent him to the elderly couple and said, "Grandpa, grandma, this is my great sage. It's smart, it can sell cuteness and shoot commercials, it's a big star. ”

The little fat man's grandfather, who looked a little strict, glanced at Xu Jie when he heard this, and then nodded to his grandson to indicate that he had seen it.

However, the old woman who was called her grandmother by the little fat man was dressed in the scent of books, and when she heard this, she helped her eyes on the bridge of her nose and touched Xu Jie's little head with a smile.

Finding that his grandfather didn't seem to like his great sage very much, the little fat man was a little frustrated.

After discovering his grandson's affection, the little fat man's grandmother said to him lovingly: "Don't care about your grandfather's strict-looking face, he just has been the director for a long time, and he can't even forget how to laugh." ”

Seeing his wife tearing down his platform in front of his grandson, the little fat man's grandfather couldn't sit still, and he said with some frustration: "You old woman, how can you talk nonsense in front of the children." ”

Hearing this, the little fat man's grandmother teased her husband and asked, "Where did I say nonsense, every time we want to come over, you have to go to the toy store to buy a lot of things for Junko and Kenta." But when you sent it over, you didn't want anyone to buy it yourself, it was all up to me, and when my old sisters found out, they all called me Grandma Toy, and every time I went out to party with them, they would make fun of me. I've been carrying the pot for you for so many years, and I can't tell you about it. ”

Watching their old couple fighting with each other, the people who couldn't interject were covering their mouths and snickering.

Just when the little fat man's grandfather had gradually fallen to the bottom and couldn't talk about his wife, their daughter rescued him from this predicament.

I saw the Fujimoto couple who had just gone to the storage room together, and at this time they came over carrying a large cardboard box.

Seeing this, Mr. Ishikawa hurried up to help, and the three of them put the large cardboard box with some weight in an open space in the living room.

The vacant lot must have just been cleared up, and Xu Jie remembered that there was a small locker that could be moved.

After the box was placed, Mrs. Fujimoto tore open the seal and carefully removed the contents of the box.

Xu Jie was curious, what was it that could make the Fujimoto family deliberately vacate the space to be placed?

After seeing clearly what Mrs. Fujimoto took out, Xu Jie was surprised that the big cardboard box was actually filled with some very exquisite dolls.

It's not that kind of doll, but a very Japanese-style doll with a Japanese style.

Mrs. Fujimoto was very careful in her movements, as if she was afraid of hurting the doll in her hand.

And Etsuko Fujimoto, who was waiting on the side, took the doll from her sister-in-law's hand, carefully examined it, and after making sure that there was no problem, she put it behind her and prepared to check the next one.

Grandma Fujimoto and Fat Man's grandmother were in charge of wiping the floating soil off the dolls with a soft cloth in their hands, while Mr. Fujimoto and Mr. Ishikawa were fiddling with a seven-story lifting shelf that looked like they were going to be placed in something.

But no matter how busy they are, the central idea is inseparable from the dolls who have just been taken out.

Xu Jie was confused while watching, the family got together to play with dolls, what kind of custom is this?

The more he thought about it, the more curious Xu Jie couldn't help but lean over, wanting to see what was different about those dolls.

Finding that Xu Jie came over and sniffed the movements of those exquisite dolls with his nose, the little fat man's grandfather was afraid that the cat would be naughty and damage the doll, so he protected the doll with his body, and at the same time gently pushed Xu Jie out with both hands.

Xu Jie, who was driven away, was unwilling to leave like this, and continued to wander around the periphery of the crowd with its tail flicking, looking for an opportunity to lean over and take a look.

The little fat man's grandfather seemed to be very nervous about the safety of those dolls, and he kept using his body to stop Xu Jie from getting closer.

Xu Jie could see that the little fat man's grandfather didn't have any hostility towards him, he just didn't want to get close to those dolls.

But cats sometimes have a donkey temper that the more you don't want them to do, the more they have to do it.

So Xu Jie relied on his flexible skills and began to play guerrilla warfare with the little fat man's grandfather.

Seeing this, the little fat man walked over, picked up Xu Jie, and pointed the tip of his nose with his finger and said, "The Great Sage can't be so naughty, today is March 3, it's the Peach Blossom Festival and the Girls' Day." Those dolls are very important to Junko's sister, and she will be angry if she breaks them. You know what the consequences of my sister getting angry are, so stay away from those dolls. ”

The deterrent power of Sister Junzi is always endless, and Xu Jie immediately became honest when he heard this.

However, in order to make sure that it did not make trouble here, the little fat man still carried it to the restaurant.

The big golden retriever and black feather were eating their breakfast in the restaurant, and the little fat man put Xu Jie next to his plate and said, "We are going to celebrate the festival for my sister today, the great sage, you have to be obedient, and there will be good things for you to eat in a while." ”

After calming the cat, the little fat man walked out of the restaurant, and it didn't take long for Mo to flick his gorgeous long-haired tail and find him.

At this time, after Hei Yu's explanation, Xu Jie also knew what was called Daughter's Day.

Daughter's Day, also known as Doll's Day, is a traditional festival here.

Every year on March 3rd, families with girls will celebrate with dolls, liquor, rice cakes, peach blossoms, etc.

The people in the family do this in the hope that the girls will grow up healthily, which is a blessing for the girls in the family as elders.

By the time the pets came out of the dining room after breakfast, the dolls in the living room had already been set up.

On the high wooden table, the dolls are lined up in order, from the emperor and empress on the top floor to the bullock cart and palanquin on the last floor.

Xu Jie carefully looked at the dolls that were put on display, and found that although they were all the most beautifully preserved, they could still be distinguished from the old and new at a glance from the bright styles and colors.

It's really interesting that a set of dolls has been divided into several generations.

Finding that her tanuki cat was still eager to try at those dolls, Mrs. Fujimoto quickly picked it up to prevent it from making trouble.

The big golden retriever Ah Zhong is actually quite interested in the new little people, but the black feather falls on top of its head and strictly forbids it to lean over, so the golden retriever can only stick out his tongue at those dolls in the end.

At this moment, Junko Fujimoto, who was dressed in a new outfit, walked out of the room.

Looking at the little granddaughter who was already slim in a colorful kimono and stepped on clogs, Grandma Fujimoto said with emotion: "I think when we gave her Doll's Day for the first time, she was still a little guy who needed to be held in our arms, and now she is also a big girl, and this day flies so fast." ”

Junko's grandmother echoed the words and said, "That's it, I still remember that year, the emperor and queen that Guangyang and Rie bought for Junko, and the band I gave to the palace maid and you." After that, the servants, the carriages and horses, the small furniture, Junzi grew up day by day, and the doll tower was built layer by layer. Speaking of which, the palace maid dolls I sent over were given to me by my parents when I was young, and I originally wanted to give them away as a dowry when Rie got married, but then I thought that she had them herself, and I was waiting for them to give my granddaughter. ”

Grandma Fujimoto laughed when she heard this and said: "I'm the same, when I first got married, the family gave a complete set of doll towers, half of which I gave to Etsuko, and the other half to Junko, but I just saw that the doll tower seems to be made up on Junko's side, and I think Etsuko sent it to her niece." ”

Xu Jie was stunned after hearing these conversations, did he really not expect that a few dolls could also be handed down?

No wonder it had just seen a few dolls that were actually made of wood, and they must have been at least fifty or sixty years old.

Because he was afraid that the small animals in the family would damage the doll tower, all the pets in the house, including Xu Jie, were put into the small yard.

Xu Jie, who was innocently driven out, slapped the glass door of the small courtyard with his paws and meowed inside.

Seeing this, the little fat man waved his hand through the glass to signal Xu Jie to be quiet, and said that he would definitely call them when he had lunch later.

With a cat face, Xu Jie, who was huffing, jumped back to Mo's side and said: "That little fat guy is so hateful, what do you say that the doll was damaged and unlucky this day, so he drove us all out, am I really the kind of cat who doesn't understand?" ”

I was fortunate enough to witness Xu Jie's messy black feather in the shop after more than one accident, and he rolled his eyes to the sky when he heard the words.

Mo licked his little raccoon flower while basking in the sun, and Xu Jie was comfortably licked and turned out its white plush little belly to Mo.

Mo, who was spitting out the cat hair in his mouth, heard Xu Jie's complaints, and continued to comb the fur on Xu Jie's abdomen with his tongue without changing his face, and said very calmly: "When taking care of cubs, it's always right to be careful." ”

Xu Jie turned over when he heard this, rubbed his head with Mo's paws, and made a snoring sound while rubbing.

Xu Jie knew that Mo liked cubs, but his jealousy was very strong, rubbing Mo's paws, the tanuki cat seemed to be coquettish and asked as if warning: "Mo, do you want kittens?" ”

If Mo dared to talk to it, Xu Jie promised that he would definitely catch Mo into a broken fishing net.

The big black cat that was spitting out fur raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and suddenly lowered his head and bit the back of Xu Jie's neck and picked it up.

The big black cat thinks that the topic of kittens can be put later, and what it needs to do now is to give this tanuki cat who dares to play tricks with himself and hide half of his attitude when he talks to test his attitude.
