Chapter 18: The Fujimoto Family and the Fish Market
On that day, Xu Jie followed the black cat all over its territory, and the entire southern and eastern parts of the county were Mo's sphere of influence.
The cats and dogs I met on the street, except for some surprise how Mo came out during the day, had a very respectful attitude towards black cats.
For lunch, they shared the leftover grilled fish fillets from Xu Jie's nest, and for dinner, the black cat caught a long cauliflower snake for him.
Although Xu Jie had eaten snake meat before, it was all cooked, and in the face of a living and dead snake, it was really a little afraid to eat it.
But in the face of the black cat's expectant eyes, Xu Jie's heart closed his eyes, and he took a bite of it, chewing it, and it actually felt that the taste was still very good.
Xu Jie, who felt that he had opened up a new world, followed the black cat and wandered outside for a day, and only after it was dark that there were no pedestrians on the street, Mo sent it home.
The next morning, the sun shone directly on Xu Jie's face through the small window on the side of the cat nest.
Xu Jie, who played outside until midnight and didn't come home until midnight, turned into a little lazy cat, turned his paw to his eyes, and planned to lie in bed to the end.
Kenta, who got up early in the morning to exercise with his sister, lay at the door of the cat's nest and carefully poked the soft and brittle ears of the tanuki cat with his fingers.
Xu Jie, who felt the itching of his ears, shook his head and moved the paw covering his eyes to his ears.
Seeing this, Kenta shifted his position and poked Xu Jie's forehead again.
Xu Jie, who was harassed, had his eyes half-open, and after finding that he was squatting outside and poking his hand to refer to the little fat dun, he turned over and planned to continue sleeping.
Kenta stood up at this time, held the cat nest and said to Xu Jie inside: "Dasheng get up and have breakfast, if you get up now, you can eat the cat meal carefully prepared by your mother." If you don't, you'll have to continue eating cat food, and what you eat depends on your own choice. ”
Xu Jie, who had been eating cat food for a week, heard that the sleepy insects that were still full of heads just now disappeared instantly, turned over and shook their hair, and immediately walked out of the cat nest refreshed.
Junzi, who was standing outside the door and witnessed a qiē, raised his eyebrows and said to Xu Jie who crawled out: "Sure enough, it's a gluttonous cat." “
Xu Jie, who didn't hear it, flicked his tail and walked past Junzi's side, and the force value was too weak, and it had now learned to selectively filter out those words that were unfavorable to him.
Walking through the living room to the dining room, Mr. Fujimoto was already sitting there watching the morning news, and when he found Xu Jie, who was trotting in, he chuckled and said to him, "Good morning, Great Sage." “
Ah Wang, who was guarding beside him, heard that Wangwang screamed twice, which could be regarded as greeting him.
Kenta, who came in behind Xu Jie, went to the kitchen first to bring out Xu Jie and Ngawang's breakfast, the two of them had the same breakfast this morning, all rice with pork and stir-fried vegetables, low oil and low salt.
The big stomach king Ah Zhong shook his head and threw himself at Kenta, and after getting his breakfast, he began to eat hard.
Xu Jie, on the other hand, squinted at the vegetables on his plate.
The cat doesn't like to eat vegetables, which Xu Jie didn't know before, but now it is very clear, because it looks at the few vegetable leaves on the plate, how to look at it, how it is not pleasing to the eye.
Kenta on the side squatted down and said to Xu Jie, who had a tendency to be picky eaters: "You can't do this, you have to eat all the vegetables." You need vitamins and fiber inside, and these things will make you healthier. “
As he spoke, he raised his head and asked Mr. Fujimoto, "Dad, is that so?" “
Mr. Fujimoto nodded with satisfaction and said, "Of course, Kenta, you learned very well. “
The little chubby dun who was praised by his father raised his head slightly, and said to Xu Jie very proudly: "Look, my father agrees with this statement." So you can't be picky eaters, you have to eat them all. “
At this time, Mrs. Fujimoto also walked over from the kitchen with a breakfast she was sitting on, and said with a smile when she passed by Xu Jie's side: "The Great Sage can taste my craftsmanship, Ah Zhong didn't like to eat vegetables before, but since he ate the food I cooked, he is in love with it now, and he has to eat a lot of every meal." “
Mrs. Fujimoto's craftsmanship Xu Jie has already tasted it, and Kenta's daily love brand mother's bento is from this lady's skillful hands.
Besides, it is not a picky eater, and it is just the cat's instinct to have this reaction.
So after meow~meow~ yelled and thanked Mrs. Fujimoto who prepared cat rice for him, Xu Jie began to eat his breakfast in small bites.
Today is Sunday, and elementary and middle schools are closed, so the usually busy morning, today seems particularly calm.
After breakfast, Mr. Fujimoto changed his clothes and prepared for work, but Mrs. Fujimoto, who usually went out with him, had no intention of leaving.
Seeing this, the head of the family asked his wife with some confusion, "Rie, the time to open the store is almost up, don't you want to change your clothes?" ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Fujimoto said as she took off the apron tied to her, "Have you forgotten? Last week, Etsuko called to say that her mother in her hometown missed us, and she was going to take a look today. ”
Mr. Fujimoto patted his head and said, "Yes, yes, there is such a thing." Seeing my memory, then I'll call and ask her which train she is taking, and I'll pick her up. ”
Mrs. Rie replied, "No, I already called the day before yesterday to ask, and Etsuko said that she would drive her mother over." So I thought I'd not go to the store today, I went to the market to buy some vegetables, and then went to the fish market to buy some fresh seafood, and we ate seafood hot pot in the evening. ”
Kenta, who had already eaten breakfast and was about to go back to his room, heard this, and ran to Mrs. Fujimoto's side and begged, "Mom, I'm going to the fish market with you too." ”
Mrs. Fujimoto was a little surprised when she heard this, and said, "Hey, didn't you tell Junko that you were going to visit the judo club?" ”
Hearing this, Kenta looked back at his sister, thought about the lively fish market again, and struggled for a while before he reluctantly said to his sister: "Sister, will I go to the judo club with you next week?" This time, I'll stay with my mother first. ”
Junko said that there was no problem when she heard this, and anyway, her younger brother was just going to visit the club, so it was no problem to go at any time.
But Mrs. Fujimoto looked at the golden retriever who was still eating, but said with some difficulty: "Every weekend morning, it's time to take Ngawang to the park to play, this time my husband has to go to work, I want to take Kenta to the fish market, Junko has to go to the judo club, what should Ngawang do?" It's been looking forward to it for a long time, and I just saw it take the leash to the door early this day. ”
Hearing this, everyone looked through the foyer to the doorway, and sure enough, they saw that Ngawang's favorite leash was placed on the shoe cabinet at the door.
Mr. Fujimoto sighed when he saw this, got up and touched the golden retriever and said, "I'll take it to the pet hospital today, and then ask Emi to take care of it, it just so happens that it's time to do epidemic prevention, this time it's a double win." ”
After saying that, he teased the golden retriever, who had just finished breakfast, and walked towards the gate.
Seeing her husband leading her pet dog into the car, Mrs. Fujimoto just breathed a sigh of relief, but when she turned around, she saw her youngest son holding up his newly adopted tanuki cat and asked herself, "Mom, can I take Dasheng to the fish market with me?" ”
Taking the cat to the seafood market, Mrs. Fujimoto was speechless for her son's genius-like way of thinking before she spoke: "If you bring the cat over, the owners of the fish market will be unhappy." ”
Hearing this, Kenta hurriedly replied, "I will take care of it, and I will definitely not let the Great Sage run around." ”
When Mrs. Fujimoto heard this, she still said in a gentle and firm tone: "No, Kenta, you must know that Dad just drove away from the family car, so we can only take the bus to the fish market this time." It's a hassle to take your pet on the bus, so Daishono has to stay at home. ”
Kenta was sullen when he heard this, put down Xu Jie and went to his house to change clothes.
And I heard that I don't have to go to the fish market with Xiao Chubby Dun Xu Jie is secretly having fun, who wants to go to the market with you, when I sent it home yesterday, Mo said that today I will start teaching it to hunt, and the black cat will come to pick it up in a while.
