After the Lantern Festival, whether it is the attached primary school or the students of Chuhua University, they all start classes one after another.

When school starts, some people are happy, and some people are in the opposite mood.

In Zheng Si's view, college students generally have a lot more smiles when they return to school than children attached to primary schools.

The first and second grade children are still trying to find excuses to skip school, and some children at the entrance of the school still have red circles under their eyes, sniff from time to time, and under the pressure of their parents, they move their steps into the school gate.

In contrast, the young people who run by like a gust of wind on their bicycles are in a much better mood, and they are anxious to find the girls they haven't seen for a long time and miss very much.

Sixth-grade children have a special psychology, and they spend their last elementary school years with the complicated feelings of "Lao Tzu is finally going to grow up" and "paralyzed that there are still so many homework and exams".

Zheng Si didn't know if every sixth-grade kid was so ambivalent, at least Jiao Yuan, who always had inexplicable excitement and anxiety. As Jiao's father said, this is about to enter puberty.

A child who has entered puberty......

In this way, when he goes to junior high school in the future, Jiao Yuan will not be regarded as a little child, and he will belong to the ranks of "young men". Well, it is estimated that you can turn to some small X books in Jiaoyuan's room in the future.

Zheng Si lay on the sofa, the tip of his tail swaying slowly, watching Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyuzi go out, Jiao's mother sent them out, and after sending the children directly to buy vegetables.

Zheng Si didn't go out much during the day in the past few days, the school was full of people, very lively, and after the new students returned to school, the campus that had been quiet for a winter vacation became noisy again.

Zheng Si didn't want to go out and hang around at such a time, it was inconvenient. Therefore, Zheng Si changed his work and rest time, and during the week of school, he slept at home during the day, and went out to squat after dinner at night.

Squatting at night in the past few days, Zheng Si has some understanding of the tattooed man's schedule again, but it is not enough, it must be guaranteed to be a success, so he has to keep an eye on it a few more times. Besides, the materials at hand are still a little missing, and some things have not been found.

Zheng Si lay on the sofa and squinted for a while, and when he woke up, he found that it was only half past nine, and Jiao's mother had not come back yet, so she probably went to talk to someone again.

Stretching, Zheng Si looked out the window. The sun was shining, but the temperature was still not high, and the people who came and went were still wearing thick down jackets.

Idle and bored and unable to sleep, Zheng sighed and decided to go out for a walk.

Ah Huang has become a lot lazy and fat after a year, Zheng Si often sees Ah Huang sleeping on his balcony, his head peeking out from the balcony railing, his tail directly outside, and he swayed twice from time to time, as if others didn't know where he was sleeping. Fortunately, the gap between the railings is not very large, and Ah Huang will not fall through the gap.

As for the sheriff, his family kept him chained to his home, because there were many cat dealers who took cats during the Chinese New Year, and after some cats disappeared around, the sheriff who often ran out was ordered not to leave the house, and it was not allowed to turn the sky upside down.

Without them, Zheng Si is more free and casual alone.

After climbing the tree and doing some activities, Zheng Si walked out of the forest where there were fewer people. At this time, there are not many people walking on the campus road, perhaps because of the popularity of the campus, so that the two rows of bare plane trees next to the driveway do not look so depressed.

Zheng Si walked aimlessly along those sunny places. There is no wind, and the sun shines on the hair on the body warmly, fluffy, and it is very comfortable.

Zheng Si was squinting his eyes and enjoying the warm sunshine when he suddenly heard someone call his name.

Following the sound, Zheng Si saw a man in a long loose wool coat standing at the other end of the flower bed, waving to him.

Xiao Zhuo?

Zheng Si turned around and walked towards Xiao Zhuo.

Compared to the last time Zheng Si saw her, Xiao Zhuo's belly was now clearly protruding, and even wearing loose clothes in winter could not cover the protruding arc.

Xiao Zhuo was holding a bag in his hand, and there was a book in the bag, which looked like he had just bought it, and he probably had just returned from the bookstore at the school gate.

"What are you doing here?" Xiao Zhuo looked at Zheng and sighed. Bent over, reached out and gently tapped Zheng Si's head.

Knowing that there was a cat in front of him and couldn't speak, Xiao Zhuo still asked habitually.

People who have been with animals for a long time, when they see other animals, will do the same, and speak directly instead of learning their calls.

Zheng Si was a little afraid to approach Xiao Zhuo, look at this belly, what if something happens? Look at the way she bends over and has some difficulty. Moreover, don't they all say that pregnant women avoid cats because of the problem of toxoplasmosis?

Glancing around, Zheng Si realized that he had unconsciously approached the scope of the West Family Area. So, Xiao Zhuo has been living in the family compound in the West District all this time?

"Let's go to my place?" Xiao Zhuo took two steps, stopped and stood there, and turned to look at Zheng Si with some anticipation.

Zheng Si stood in place and thought about it, he had been getting better from his cold for a while, and as for the problem of toxoplasmosis...... I don't think I have one, right? I seem to be very healthy, and I often take a bath, and I sleep with Xiaoyuzi every day in a quilt, and I see that Xiaoyuzi is all right, and there should be nothing that can infect Xiaozhuo.

After hesitating for a while, Zheng Si looked at Xiao Zhuo, who was full of anticipation, and took a step.

Seeing Zheng Si following up, Xiao Zhuo immediately showed a smile on his face, and while walking in front, he told Zheng Si some things in the past few months.

Xiao Zhuo doesn't usually talk to people, and there are actually only a few people who can talk, but Xiao Zhuo won't say some of the things they think directly to them. When it comes to people, there is always something to be taken care of, but it's different for cats.

It is easier for people to speak to some animals or some spiritual sustenance objects, which is also a way of catharsis. This is the reason why some people have pets.

Xiao Zhuo later because of the belly is getting bigger and bigger, the movement is not very convenient, need to recuperate, "Buddha" is not worried that Xiao Zhuo runs around every day, just at that time the new building in the West District compound began to be distributed, "Buddha" will belong to his own household to Xiao Zhuo.

People like "Buddha" have gained fame and fortune, they don't care about such a house at all, so in normal times, "Buddha" will not rob other teachers, but for the sake of Xiao Zhuo, "Buddha" really took action.

"Buddha" words, everyone else has to stand aside.

At this time, there are not many people walking around outdoors in the West District, and only a few people can be seen in the compound during working hours.

The houses on the west side of the compound are very new, and some of the buildings are similar to the building layout on the east side, but they look much more gorgeous and fashionable on the outside. The greenery is okay, but it's definitely not as good as the East Courtyard. Although the various constructions are very bright, it always makes Zheng Si feel uncomfortable.

may have been accustomed to the old houses in the East District Compound, and in the face of these glorious new buildings, Zheng Si always felt that there was something missing.

Zheng Si remembered that when he first came to this place, many family buildings on the east side of the courtyard were full of creepers, the surrounding trees were luxuriant, and there were people erecting grape trellises in the corners of the compound.

Some people say that old is a kind of feeling, and it is true, the years have eroded for decades, and the accumulation of feelings that have been precipitated by several generations may be the reason why those old professors are still happy to live in that small old house.

After living in the East Courtyard for a while, Zheng Si really felt the calmness in the simplicity.

Xiao Zhuo didn't live in the houses that Zheng Si saw after entering the community, and he had to go inside.

The West Family Compound is much larger than the East Compound, so in addition to the main entrance, there are several side entrances.

The front part of the main gate of the courtyard is a six-story building, and further inside, there are several newly built elevator rooms, which are very close to one of the side doors, and Xiao Zhuo sometimes enters and exits through this side door, which is convenient for going outside the school. Today, she just finished buying books and was about to go for a walk on campus, but she didn't expect to meet Zheng Si.

It's not easy to get a place in these elevator rooms.

Zheng Si followed Xiao Zhuo into the elevator, there was no one else in the elevator, if anyone else was there, it would definitely be strange why there was a cat in this elevator. Cats still take the elevator?

Xiao Zhuo is on the sixth floor, which belongs to the middle section of the building.

"This is where I live now."

After getting out of the elevator, Xiao Zhuo pointed to the house with the house number "606". It's still sticking with Spring Festival couplets.

Waiting for Xiao Zhuo to open the door, Zheng Si walked in and found that there were other people's breath inside. So stopped at the door and sniffed.

Seeing Zheng Si's reaction, Xiao Zhuo smiled and said, "Teacher Ye helped ask someone to take care of me, but she was not here today, and something went out." ”

"Buddha" is really considerate. But also, it's such a big belly, no one is at ease. Zheng sighed.

Zheng Si glanced at the furnishings in the room. About 100 square meters, good lighting, full of modern decoration, and warm colors.

On the table were several fruit baskets with various fruits, and another basket with other food.

Zheng Si jumped on the table and leaned over to the basket to take a look, there were still some preserved fruits and sour plums in it.

"It's all sent by Teacher Ye and her family, I can't finish it, can you eat it?" Xiao Zhuo grabbed a handful of peeled walnuts from a bag and so on. After taking it out, she hesitated again, she didn't know if the cat could eat these.

Regardless of whether the other cats can or not, Zheng sighed and ate it anyway.

"Let's stay and eat at noon." Xiao Zhuo touched Zheng Si's head and said.

Zheng sighed and tugged at his ears.

Lonely pregnant woman......

Forget it, I'll just reluctantly stay with you for a while.

Zheng Si looked at the peeled nuts in the bag, ate some snacks and slept well, it was probably afternoon. Actually, it's not that hard.

Xiao Zhuo didn't know if the cat in front of him understood his words, so he called Jiao's father at the end of class time and explained the matter, which also saved Jiao's family from waiting at home in a hurry.

Xiao Zhuo knew that the cat in front of him was very important to the Jiao family, and during the time when Jiao's mother was hospitalized, Xiao Zhuo also heard some things about this black cat when she went to visit, and the Jiao family really valued this cat. Moreover, Xiao Zhuo didn't want to treat this black cat like any other cat in the compound.

This black cat is different.

At noon, the nanny invited by the "Buddha" came back to cook.

When the nanny saw Zheng Si, her expression could be called frightened. She thinks it's better for pregnant women not to get too close to cats, cats like to run around, like to play with insects and eat mice, and there are a lot of things to mess with, who knows what kind of disease it will bring!

The babysitter said a few words about the germs or parasites that cats may carry, and the effects of these germs and parasites on the fetus. But Xiao Zhuo only said "um" twice to indicate that he heard it, and then continued to let Zheng Si lie next to him, quite close.

Seeing that the reminder was useless, the nanny called the "Buddha" in the kitchen to report the situation when she was cooking.

"There's a cat?!" The voice of the Buddha over there has risen a lot, and it doesn't sound like I agree.

"Yes, yes," the nanny sensed the displeasure of the "Buddha" and continued, "It's still only black!" ”

On the nanny's side, some people think that black cats are not very lucky, so she has never had a good impression of this pure black coat cat.

"Black?" The voice of the "Buddha" came down again, and it seemed much calmer.

"Yes."

"Black charcoal?"

"Uh...... It seems that it is, Xiao Zhuo called it so. ”

"Then leave it alone."

"Huh?"

"This black cat is different." "Buddha" from the time he knew that Xiao Zhuo was more familiar with this cat, so he deliberately went to investigate the cat's diet, daily life and other living conditions, as well as habits and temperament, and the results of the investigation made "Buddha" quite satisfied, otherwise he would not have a different attitude towards a mere little associate professor.

"Oh." After hanging up the phone, the nanny was still full of doubts. What's different about this black cat?

The nanny stretched out her head to look at the black cat squatting on the moon chair on the other side of the bedroom and squinting, shook her head, she didn't see anything special, it was similar to the black cat she had seen before, and it didn't have more ears or one eye.

In the end, the nanny attributed the attitude of "Buddha" and Xiao Zhuo to "the rationality of scientific research workers".

Zheng Si squatted on a softly cushioned moon chair in Xiao Zhuo's room and put his hands up.

This posture was learned by Zheng Si from Da Fat, and when he saw Da Pang pose like this for the first time, Zheng Si still wondered, what kind of trouble is this egg-like posture? Then, Zheng Si stuffed a round stone the size of a quail egg between the two claws of the big fat kick and put it in.

Well, that's more like hatching eggs.

Zheng Si still remembered the helpless look in Da Fat's eyes at that time, and then Da Pang moved the ball of his forefoot and pushed the stone out.

Later, when Zheng Si saw Ah Huang squatting in such a posture, he did the same thing, but Ah Huang just squinted, meowed, and then stopped moving. So every time Zheng Si sees Ah Huang squatting like this, he will have the idea of stuffing stones into it, maybe he will just stuff an egg when the time comes?

Later, Zheng Si found that many cats like this, and it seems that cats are more at ease when they pose in this position, and they are not ready to move their claws for the time being.

So, Zheng Si also learned to squat like this, holding his hands up, I heard that this is called a farmer's hand. After getting used to it, Zheng Si felt that it was okay to feel this way.

The smell of food came from the kitchen, Xiao Zhuo, who was lying on the recliner, took the book away, rubbed his eyes, looked at the black cat squatting with his paws on the moon chair next to him, and smiled silently. Perhaps, in the future, you can also have a cat at home, not too expensive, just a native cat. You don't have to be too diligent, it's okay to be lazy, and it's okay to like to steal snacks......

At the same time, in the small restaurant not far from the alley of the old building area, the waiter who came to carry the wine looked at the beer crate that had lost half of the wine bottles, and sighed, he felt that the person who was stealing the drink was really getting more and more excessive, could he really steal the whole box to drink?
