Chapter 45: Autumn of enjoying good food

The two cats who ran into the house one after the other were stopped in the living room before they could enter the cat nest.

Grandma Fujimoto, who was washing her apron and holding a shovel, asked her granddaughter who was sitting in the living room, "Where is Kenta?" I haven't seen him for half a day. ”

Hearing this, Junzi put down the milk in his hand and said, "I just saw him take Ah Zhong out to play." ”

Grandma Fujimoto said as if complaining: "I don't know how to spend more time at home on Sundays, and I always want to go out and go crazy." ”

Then she took out 5,000 yen from her pocket and handed it to Junko and said, "Since Kenta is not here, then I will trouble Junko." The soy sauce and salt in the house are not enough, so please go out to the grocery store at the corner of the street and buy it, and with the rest of the money, you can buy some food you like. ”

With that, she put the money on the table and turned back to the kitchen.

Junko Fujimoto looked at the money that was placed on the table, and then looked at the sun outside the window, and finally fixed her eyes on Xu Jie.

Xu Jie, who was stiff, didn't know what the eldest sister wanted to do, but he saw her get up and find a piece of paper and write something on it with a pen. Then he turned around and took out a small shopping bag, and stuffed the piece of paper into the shopping bag along with the money.

Then Junko approached Xu Jie, squatted in front of it and put the shopping bag on its neck and said, "Please run this trip for me, I have already written all the things I need to buy on the white paper inside the bag, except for the things that my grandmother wanted, the trouble is to bring me a box of ice cream back, asking for strawberry flavor." ”

Looking at Junko Fujimoto's smiling face with a particularly bright face, Xu Jie swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and didn't dare to mention the slightest idea of resistance.

Hanging a shopping bag and leading a big black cat, Xu Jie walked on the road without shelter under the noon sun, and the hot weather made it grow its mouth, and it almost began to stick out its tongue like a dog.

Mo, who was originally following behind it, walked a few steps quickly when he saw this, walked in front of Xu Jie, and used his stronger body than the other party to shade Xu Jie with a shadow.

Xu Jie, who was deeply moved, couldn't help but run over and rub his body Mo's body, it stands to reason that the hair is black, and the black cat with longer hair than himself should be more afraid of heat than himself, but in this case, it is still thinking about covering himself first.

Fortunately, the two cats did not walk too far, but it was just from Fujimoto's house to the crossroads, and on the right side of the crossroads, there was a grocery store that sold some things needed to live at home.

The owner of the grocery store is a chubby gentleman, and when Xu Jie and Mo enter the house, he is watching a baseball game broadcast on television.

The fat boss heard the alarm installed at the door to send out a welcome warning, turned his head to look but did not find the guest, until there was a meow under his feet, he looked down and found Xu Jie and Mo's figures.

The tanuki cat of the Fujimoto family is a well-known big star, and the fat boss who is an old resident here certainly knows it.

So he turned around, left the chair, lowered his head, and asked, "It's the great sage of the Fujimoto family, is there something you have come here for?" ”

Xu Jie squatted there when he heard this, and shook the small shopping bag he hung around his neck at the fat boss.

Seeing this, the fat boss understood, and the golden retriever dog of the Fujimoto family used to be like this, and came to buy things for the master's house with a basket in his mouth, but it seems that this time it was changed to their cat.

The fat boss, who was very skilled in this business, bent down, took off the shopping bag hanging around Xu Jie's neck, turned out the shopping list written by Junzi inside, looked at it carefully, and then got up and walked over to the shopping shelf.

The fat boss said as he walked: "Soy sauce, salt, and strawberry-flavored ice cream, well, I've got all the food." ”

Saying that, the fat boss came over with things and scanned the code for these things.

While sweeping him, he said: "It's a total of 1,350 yuan, and the money found out is here, do you want to take a look?" ”

Seeing Xu Jie shaking his head, the fat boss put the money he found back into the shopping bag that Xu Jie brought over with those things, and hung the shopping bag back on Xu Jie's neck.

Although the weight of these things given by the fat boss is not large, they still have some weight for the cat.

Xu Jie bent his head under the pressure of the shopping bag hanging around his neck, and he struggled to raise his head to lift the shopping bag.

Seeing this, the fat boss said, "Can't you take it?" The soy sauce and salt in the bag are commonly used by the Fujimoto family, and I am afraid that Mrs. Fujimoto will not be used to it. ”

Seeing this, Mo motioned for Xu Jie to take off the shopping bag around his neck, and he walked over by himself, arching his head forward, passing through the handle of the shopping bag, and hanging the bag around his neck.

Looking at the ink that was also hanging in the shopping bag, but walking easily in front, Xu Jie, who was in tears in his heart, once again realized the difference between the two of them.

When Xu Jie and Mo returned home, Xiao Jiantai, who had gone out to walk the dog, happened to come back.

After playing outside in the sun for a morning, the golden retriever stuck out his tongue hotly, while Xiao Jiantai was covered in stinky sweat.

Grandma Fujimoto, who heard the sound of the door opening and came out to check, pushed her grandson to the bathroom with some disgust, and said, "Look at your dirty appearance, why don't you hurry up and take a bath." ”

Then she saw the black cat with a shopping bag around her neck and said, "Ah, I asked Junko to go shopping, but this kid actually bothered the guests." ”

Saying that, Grandma Fujimoto glanced at her granddaughter reproachfully.

Grandma Fujimoto squatted down, took the shopping bag off Mo's neck, looked at it, and then took out the soy sauce and salt, and put the ice cream on the table.

After making these things, Grandma Fujimoto praised Xu Jie and Mo with a smile, and said to them, "I fried tempura, and you will have prawns to eat in a while." It is a top-notch sweet shrimp from Hokkaido, and it is sure to delight your palate. ”

After saying that, she took the soy sauce and salt back to the kitchen.

When Xiao Jiantai came out of the shower, he saw the ice cream placed on the table at a glance, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Stepping on his slippers, he walked to the table and asked, "Sister, who bought the ice cream?" ”

Looking at his younger brother's eyes like a puppy, Junko pushed the box of ice cream to Kenta's side and said, "This is for you." ”

The excited Xiao Jiantai took the ice cream into his hand when he heard this, but just when he wanted to eat it, he went to Junko's side to take a look, and then asked with some doubts: "Why is there only one, where is your ice cream, sister?" ”

Hearing this, Junko replied: "I just drank the mung bean soup prepared by my grandmother, and I can't eat other cold things, this box is specially bought for you." ”

The little fat man smiled and thanked his sister, and opened the lid sealed on the ice cream, and when he saw the color of the ice cream inside, he said with some disappointment: "Why is it strawberry flavored, I prefer vanilla flavor." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Junzi's mouth were slightly raised and said: "Who told you that this is not what you bought yourself, and the person who eats ready-made things, he has to eat whatever others buy." ”

Xiao Jiantai's mouth grew up when he heard this, and he was surprised for a while, and after thinking about it, he felt that he was speechless.

Little Chubby Dun, who didn't dare to say anything, silently divided the box of strawberry ice cream into two with a spoon, and then pointed to one of them and asked, "Sister, you really don't eat it?" ”

When Junko heard this, she replied, "I don't eat it, you can eat it yourself." ”

When Jian Tai heard this, he leaned out and shouted to the kitchen, "Grandma, do you eat ice cream?" ”

Grandma Fujimoto, who was cooking, heard this and said, "Grandma doesn't eat it, Kenta eats it." ”

Seeing this, Little Fat Dun used a spoon to dig a large spoon in the box, but saw his golden retriever squatting there, looking at him pitifully.

Jian Tai glanced back and forth a few times, and found that no one was paying attention, so he quietly dug out a spoonful and sent it to Ah Zhong's food plate.

Seeing this, the wagging golden retriever happily went to lick the ice cream.

At this time, Grandma Fujimoto walked out of the kitchen with two pets in bowls, sent them to Xu Jie and Mo's side and said, "On a hot day, you can also drink some mung bean soup to go to the summer, don't worry that there is no sugar for you." ”

Xu Jie lowered his head and sniffed in the mung bean soup bowl when he heard this, and the unsweetened mung bean soup smelled like beans.

Xu Jie didn't like the taste, but he knew that it was a good thing to dispel the heat, so he still held it back and licked it slowly.

Mo had never drunk mung bean soup before, but when he saw the little civet flower drink it, he lowered his head and wanted to taste it.

It's a pity that the bowl that Grandma Fujimoto brought them was a little small, and as soon as Mo lowered his head, he touched its beard on the edge of the bowl, and tried it back and forth several times before Mo drank the contents of the bowl.

Xu Jie, who was holding his breath, only drank most of the bowl and didn't drink it, but it was the ink next to him that drank all the bowls.

Xiao Jiantai also ate all his ice cream at this time, but he was already a little hungry after going out to play crazy for a morning, and a box of ice cream couldn't make him full.

So the little fat man rubbed his stomach and shouted at the kitchen, "Grandma, what are we going to eat at noon?" ”

As soon as he finished asking, there was a sound of fried food coming from the kitchen, and then Grandma Fujimoto said, "We're going to have chazuke and tempura today." ”

Both of these are what Chubby Dun likes to eat, so he waited there with bright eyes.

Soon Grandma Fujimoto brought out lunch to her grandchildren, and the light chazuke served with fried tempura, which made people appetize when they looked at it.

In order to thank the cats for bringing back the soy sauce and breaking promises, Grandma Fujimoto specially put two Hokkaido sweet shrimp and a large piece of fish in Xu Jie and Mo's chazuku.

Xu Jie, who likes chazuke very much, sniffed his rice bowl gently, and the faint smell of seafood hooked its tail was erected.

Gobbling up their share, Xu Jie and Mo, who were too hot outside and didn't want to move, lay in the air-conditioned room and silently groomed each other's hair.
