Grandma Fujimoto, who went out yesterday afternoon, brought back a message to everyone in the house, saying that in order to welcome the new neighbors, the caretaker was planning to hold a barbecue party, and hoped that the neighbors who had time in the building would come and participate.

Mr. and Mrs. Fujimoto smiled when they heard this, knowing in their hearts that Mr. Administrator was just looking for an excuse to hold a party.

There are a total of 12 apartments where the Fujimoto family lives, and because the houses are very old, the age of the residents is also relatively large.

Seven or eight of the neighbors have retired, and they like to find all kinds of reasons to get together when they have nothing to do at home and love to be lively.

Mr. and Mrs. Fujimoto bring their children with them whenever they have time, and it's a good thing to have good relationships with their neighbors.

Because Mr. Fukuda goes out late and returns early every day, in order to match his time, this barbecue party is scheduled for tomorrow morning.

The Fujimoto couple will definitely not be able to participate at this time, but Grandma Fujimoto can bring her grandchildren and granddaughters over to have a good time.

This time, the place where we had dinner was in the property lounge, which was the place where everyone was temporarily settled during the last gas leak.

There's a lot of space here, and it's okay to accommodate forty or fifty people.

Since this type of dinner is often held, the neighbors in the building have already learned a lot.

Mr. Caretaker is responsible for the field and cleaning, the people on the fourth floor are in charge of meat, the neighbors on the third floor are in charge of vegetables and some seafood, the people on the second floor are in charge of charcoal fire and spices, and the people on the first floor are in charge of drinks and drinks.

There is at least one such meeting every quarter, and as a result of the frequent gatherings and interactions, the neighbors of this apartment are very nice.

After sending her son and daughter-in-law out early in the morning, Grandma Fujimoto took the children and the family's pets to the property lounge.

When someone came here, it was too early to force her, and everyone was already busy cutting meat and washing vegetables with sauce.

Grandma Fujimoto sent her grandchildren aside to let them play, and after cleaning her hands, she helped the neighbors clean up the ingredients.

It didn't take long for the new neighbors who had been invited to come over, and as the new neighbors who had been invited to the party, they certainly didn't have to apportionment anything.

However, this little couple still politely brought two large bags of snacks over.

In addition to snacks, there is also a bird parked on the shoulder of Brother Fukuda.

Seeing that everyone was looking at their birds, Fukuda Yasu held the bird from his shoulder to his palm and said, "This is George, my pet." It's a wren, and he's very smart and can talk and sing. ”

The wren named George jumped a few times in his master's palm when he heard this, and then began to sing a nursery rhyme.

This voice and singing voice are simply too familiar, it turns out that this guy sings on time every morning.

Hey, didn't Black Feather go out to talk to his peers after eating bird food in the morning? Now that the person it's communicating with is here, it shouldn't be too far away.

Thinking so, Xu Jie hurriedly searched around, and sure enough, he saw black feathers on Ah Zhong's big head.

When did this guy fly in? When I first entered the door, I didn't have it.

The wren's singing voice was an eye-opener for the neighbors in the apartment, who had only seen this particularly talking bird on TV before, but for the first time in reality.

After the wren had finished singing a song in the palm of his master's hand, he flew to his shoulder again, shaking his little head with orange flesh hanging and flesh, and it saw at a glance the black feathers that fell on Ah Zhong's head.

When Brother Wren saw the black crow, he jumped on his master's shoulder a few times excitedly, and then flew towards the black feather and fell.

Fukuda Kang knew the black crow, this crow has always run to his house these days, and this time he learned that the crow was raised by the neighbor downstairs.

After the wren landed beside him, Black Feather stepped forward and pecked its wings with his beak, showing affection and welcome.

Then he turned to the other pets of the Fujimoto family and said, "This is the George of the Fukuda family, he is very good at human language, can read poems and sing several songs." ”

Hearing this, Xu Jie looked at the guy who was larger, most of his body was black, but he had a purple-blue and copper-green metallic luster on his feathers, and said in his heart: "You don't need to introduce cats in particular, after all, Brother Wren is the bird with the best language talent among all birds." ”

After that, Hei Yu also introduced Xu Jie and them to Brother Wren, and the bird looked at them, moved its wings crampedly, and said a little jerky: "Hello, I'm George, it's nice to meet everyone." ”

Seeing that George didn't talk much, Hei Yu also explained to Xu Jie for him: "George's owner rarely takes it out, and he keeps it at home, so he doesn't have much contact with the outside world, and his temperament is a little shy." ”

Hearing this, the two cats and one dog had different reactions.

As Ah Zhong, who was raised by Black Feather, he naturally supported it unconditionally, so the Golden Retriever was the first to echo it.

And Xu Jie, who has always had a big heart, raised his front paws with a smile after Hei Yu's introduction, and gently hooked a few times towards Brother George, which was regarded as a greeting.

Only Mo squinted his golden brown eyes, looked at Hei Yu and looked at Brother Wren, as if he was looking at something.

But after only a moment, Mo looked away and turned to care about his little raccoon.

Now that the invited guests have arrived, the barbecue party can begin.

Mr. Caretaker, who was in charge of lighting the fire, put the charcoal fire into a few barbecue grills, and then the members of the Lady Group took over the cooking of the food.

The young couple Fukuda and Yoshino were not idle, one of them was responsible for dressing the vegetables on skewers, and the other was responsible for serving the things that had been grilled and distributing them to everyone.

The person who gets the skewer opens the beer and drink to the people around him, and the atmosphere immediately becomes lively with their movements.

When the food was almost baked, people leaned together in groups of threes and twos, drinking beer and eating barbecue, and each began to talk about their recent lives.

Because they live closely, the caretaker's family naturally chatted with Grandma Fujimoto, and because of the pets, Fukuda and Yoshino, a young couple, also joined the circle smoothly.

Mr. Yokohama, a former civil servant who is now retired as an apartment manager at home, chatted with Fukuda for a while and asked, "Akon, what kind of work are you doing when you go out late and come home early every day?" Resting at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night is not very good for your health. ”

Hearing this, Fukuda Kang scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I work as a resident singer in a nightclub in Kyoto, which only opens at four or five o'clock in the afternoon every day, and is open until after 1 o'clock in the evening, so I go home so late every day." ”

Hearing this, Mr. Administrator suddenly realized, "Oh, no wonder I sometimes see you coming back wearing heavy makeup. ”

Fukuda Kang was even more embarrassed when he heard this: "I scared you that day, I'm really sorry." Because there are often various theme nights held in the nightclub, we have to put on various makeup to match. ”

Mr. Administrator laughed and said, "I was really shocked at the time, but it would be nice to recognize you." You young people work really hard, so you must pay more attention to your body. ”

The barbecue party was a great success, and everyone in the apartment did not forget about the pets that were brought over while they enjoyed their meals.

However, since barbecue is a high-salt food, pets do not have the right to share the food that has already been grilled, and everything prepared for them is specially processed.

Xu Jie stared at the piece without any seasoning, but after it was cooked, it was brought to the chicken thigh meat in front of him, and he didn't have any appetite at all.

Think about when it first became a cat, if it could encounter this kind of food, it would definitely laugh and bend its apricot eyes, but now it doesn't even have the desire/desire to taste it.

Sure enough, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, and the ancients did not deceive me.

Looking at the little raccoon flower who was staring at the barbecue and teasing his beard, he refused to move a bite, and Mo, who knew its eating habits, knew that this was something that was sent to its liking.

So Mo quietly left his position, went to the food section, and under the surprised eyes of the housewives, he forcibly took a box of river shrimp from their hands.

In the crowd, the little fat man who was eating barbecue was pulled out, and the shrimp meat was pushed and pointed at Xu Jie, and the meaning of the ink was obvious, my little civet flower has nothing to eat, you hurry up and do it.

So Comrade Little Fatty, the shovel officer, was temporarily upgraded to the imperial chef and began to hurriedly clean up the box of river shrimp that was pushed over by ink.

With so many adults here, of course it's impossible for a child to get angry.

After the little fat man cleaned up the shrimp, someone naturally came to help him grill it.

During the process, the little fat man stared at the whole process with peace of mind, and kept saying: "Auntie, I am for cats, you don't need to put other seasonings, just add a little sea salt." ”

It didn't take long for the special prawns to be grilled according to the little fat man's request, and Jian Tai took the dinner plate and brought it to Xu Jie's mouth while it was hot.

This kind of river shrimp is not large, you can wear two or three of them in a bunch, but the taste is very good, and it is crispy and tender to eat.

To be honest, it's really not good to pick fat and thin like this, but Xu Jie's mouth has been raised and turned into a complete gluttonous cat.

Xu Jie, who ate a bunch of river shrimp, licked his lips, although he was self-criticizing in his heart, but he didn't want to change it at all, what should he do?

Thinking about how he looks now that he can't do anything but sell cuteness, Xu Jie burst into tears in his heart.

Looking at the remaining river shrimp on the plate, looking at the big black cat who was eating the disgusted chicken thigh meat beside him, Xu Jie squinted his eyes and flicked his tail a few times.

After that, it kicked the plate containing the river shrimp to the side of Mo, and looked at the big black cat that raised its head and stared at it with an inexplicable face, Xu Jie leaned over and said unreasonably: "I'm lazy and greedy now, I can't do without you for a while, what can I do?" ”

Listening to Xu Jie's unreasonable 'complaint', Mo opened his mouth and smiled silently, and then leaned into his ear and said, "I am responsible for raising you, is it okay to raise you like this for a lifetime?" ”
