Chapter 40: Why don't you meow?
On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Jiao's father was sorting out some papers and other documents in front of the computer in the bedroom, and at the same time emailing and chatting with his friends abroad and at home.
Yuanzi went back to his hometown in other provinces for the New Year, and his mother was alone in his hometown, so he had to accompany the old lady this year and go to worship the old man. The company has Fei Hang and Wei Ling to help take care of it, and Jiao's father sometimes helps.
However, when Zheng Si went for a walk a few days ago, he heard the old man Lan downstairs talking about Jiao's father, and these old professors who are retired but their influence is not diminished will always get more and more reliable news than others, so Zheng Si rarely hid next to him and eavesdropped that day.
Jiao's father is gradually in the limelight in the academy, mainly because he brought out an excellent graduate student. Yi Xin's performance at the academic annual meeting in the previous college was outstanding, and the high-impact factor papers that had been published in foreign journals directly made him the undisputed first place in the annual meeting, and few people in the school could compare, which overshadowed the other two students who were also rated first in the college.
And now when everyone talks about Yi Xin, they will definitely talk about Associate Professor Jiao, without Associate Professor Jiao, there would be no current Yi Xin, everyone knows this. Therefore, Associate Professor Jiao's momentum is now approaching the two young returnee professors introduced by the institute this year.
As a result, some people in the hospital began to speculate when the word "deputy" of Associate Professor Jiao would be removed? After all, if Associate Professor Jiao continues this brilliant state, the school is likely to promote him exceptionally. In addition to the article, there is another important condition that needs to be met for the qualification of Chuhua University to become a professor, that is, to have overseas experience.
Jiao's father came to Chuhua University directly with Jiao's mother after graduation, and he has taught until now, and he has no experience of going abroad to do research. Jiao's father has been in front of the computer for a long time recently, and it is probably because of this. Prepare for this "experience abroad". After all, a full professor can get much more benefits than an associate professor in all aspects, and he can be more open-handed.
Zheng Si nestled on the edge of the sofa, rolled over, changed his position and continued to lie down.
Because there are always incidents of lost cats in the surrounding area, Zheng Si has not gone out at night in the past few days, and as soon as the sun sets, Zheng Si nests in the sofa and watches "Super Warrior" with Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyuzi. Although it was boring for Zheng Si, it was not difficult. Lie on the couch and think about your thoughts, sleep when you are tired, and prepare to eat when you wake up.
After a few episodes, Jiao Yuan went to change the disc, Zheng Si was not interested in the content in the cartoon, he had seen it before, he didn't want to rewatch it again, and from the perspective of an adult ten years later, the film was very naΓ―ve. What Zheng Si is thinking about now is, if Jiao's father goes abroad for a year or two, what will the family do? Jiao's mother's burden will definitely increase a lot...... No, it seems that there is Yi Xin, and there are new graduate students who will be admitted after the beginning of the year can help......
The yellow leopard on the TV suddenly jumped up and turned into a robot, and at the same time shouted: "Yellow Panther Warrior, transform!" β
Zheng Si was thinking about his thoughts, and was unexpectedly dragged up by Jiao Yuan next to him.
"Black Cat Warrior, Transform!" Jiao Yuan shouted.
Zheng sighed: "......" changes your face to! These two forced children!
Patting Jiao Yuan's hand away, Zheng Si stepped on his pants and crossed him to lie down next to Xiao Yuzi, ignoring Jiao Yuan, who was in a state of excitement, and helped Zheng Si scratch his chin and comb his hair when Xiao Yuzi was watching TV.
Due to the ban on firecrackers in the city, firecrackers can rarely be heard in urban areas, and without firecrackers, there will be no New Year's flavor, just like cooking without salt. However, in recent years, the policy has been relaxed a bit, and sometimes there are organized restrictions. Some commercial plazas and other local businesses will apply for fireworks, for example, there will be a fireworks display event organized by the central department store on the sixth day of the new year. As for the days before the sixth day of junior high school, Jiao Yuan couldn't get over the addiction to firecrackers.
Qu Xiangyang, who was next door, went to his parents for the New Year, and it is estimated that he will not come back after the end of the year, and he took several boxes of things with him when he left, all of which were computers and the like.
The "General" had long followed his master to the south, and the winter here was wet and cold, and he didn't like it, and probably wouldn't come back until the beginning of spring.
Big Fat and the old lady are not here for the New Year, but the old man and his wife on the third floor stay in the family building, and Lan Tianzhu and his parents are there, and they leave after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Zheng Si doesn't have much impression of the New Year, and he doesn't have any impression of how he spent the past year now, maybe he was clubbing, maybe he was crazy outside with a group of lonely friends. Now when I try to remember again, I suddenly feel in a trance and unreal.
Who would have thought that they would wake up from a human being to a cat, right?
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, not long after, Wei Ling, who stayed in the company, called to congratulate the New Year, Jiao's father answered the phone, and after the two finished speaking, Jiao's father asked Zheng Xi to listen to the phone.
Zheng Si jumped on the desk next to him in confusion, Jiao's father put the earpiece at Zheng Si's feet, Zheng Si leaned up to listen, and Wei Ling's voice came from inside: "Black charcoal, 'Walnut' senior brother asked me to bless on my behalf, Happy New Year!" β
Zheng Si tugged at his ears and exhaled heavily from his nose, signaling that he knew what he knew.
"You screamed, how can you deal with it like this for the New Year?" Over there, Wei Ling said, "My comrades-in-arms are listening to it, otherwise I will have no face?" β
After a pause, Zheng Si finally shouted very embarrassedly: "Whew! β
"Ha Lu Ha, Wei Ling, you are talking to a dog, I thought it was a child of Teacher Jiao's family! But this dog reminds me of the wolfdog who used to answer the phone on the team. β
The voice of Wei Ling's comrade-in-arms came from the earpiece.
"It's not a dog, I'm talking to a cat." Wei Ling explained, and then said into the microphone: "Black Tan, they don't believe it, or else, you meow?" β
"Wow!" Meow peat!
Zheng Si directly raised his paw and pressed the hang up button, and then went back to the sofa to wait for the Spring Festival Gala with Jiao's mother and the two children.
On the company's side, Wei Ling listened to the beep on the phone, and scolded with a smile: "Damn, this temper is still as stinky as ever!" β
The comrade-in-arms of Wei Ling next to him thought for a moment and asked, "That voice just now, is it really a cat?" β
"Really, if you don't believe it, ask my senior brother." Wei Ling handed the phone to the other comrades who had not yet called.
They also have a landline here, but there are too many people to call, and they are all waiting in line, Wei Ling doesn't care about this phone fee, and contributes his phone to people who don't have mobile phones.
Here, Zheng Si accompanied them to watch the Spring Festival Gala for a while, and when Xiaoyuzi went back to sleep, he also followed. For cats, it is normal to spend most of the time 24 hours a day sleeping, so Zheng Si has no psychological burden at all.
β¦β¦
In the first month, Zheng sighed that there was nothing wrong with visiting relatives in the New Year, but, as a cat, the most annoying thing was that those ignorant little children came to pull his tail, in order to avoid trouble, Zheng Si ran outside to play when there were guests at home.
On this day, too, Zheng Si didn't wander around the campus for long, so he walked to Xiao Guo's pet center. Xiao Guo and they stayed here for the New Year, and there were some employees in the pet center who did not go home to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, and continued to take turns to take care of those foster pets on the first day of the first lunar month. The business of the pet center has been booming this year, and perhaps the scale has become more trustworthy, and the grade has soared.
Especially the advertising effect, many people in other provinces know that Chuhua City is "obviously so" this store, and the cat food in this store is very good, and the advertisements are too attractive. But so far, no one knows what the identity of the black cat named "blackC" in the advertisement of Ludao is, the owner of the store, Xiao Guo, said that he was hired to be a trained cat, some people believe it, and some people are skeptical.
Zheng Si didn't go directly to the pet center, but only walked a few streets along the way from the school to the pet center. While walking, Zheng Si heard some people talking, and the content was to the effect that several families of cats had disappeared in the past two days. Among them is the black cat that used to always fight with Zheng Si.
Without cats, coupled with the goods that are closed for the New Year, the streets look a lot bleak and too lifeless.
Zheng sighed when he walked around the corner and met "Li Yuanba" patrolling the street with peanut candy, the swallow is definitely not in the pet center for the New Year, but "Li Yuanba" still stays in the pet center, anyway, it won't take a few days or two days for the swallow to come over again, there is no need to move the nest around.
Seeing Zheng Si, Peanut Candy, who was next to "Li Yuanba" with a serious face, made a rare "meow" and greeted Zheng Si.
Xiao Guo once joked that Zheng Si is like the father of peanut candy, otherwise he would not be ashamed of any peanut candy to other cats in the store, but every time he saw Zheng Si, he "meowed" a few times, and occasionally rolled in front of Zheng Si.
These things don't happen even in front of the swallows, so the swallows are sometimes very jealous of Zheng Si, who raised them!
Zheng Si doesn't even lick his own hair, and he definitely won't lick the peanut candy, nor will he "meow", Zheng Si doesn't like to scream, because every time he makes a sound, he will stimulate the nerves of the brain, reminding himself that he has changed from a talking person to a native cat. However, in order to show his closeness to the juniors, Zheng Si will raise his palm and pat Peanut Candy's head.
For peanut candy, it is used to Zheng Si's way of greeting, so when Zheng Si approaches, it will press his ears and stretch out his head to let Zheng Si pat him.
The children can be taught! Zheng sighed with emotion. What an obedient kitten, much more like than those little kids who can only pull his tail.
However, when the peanut candy "meowed", Zheng Si found that the little guy's two fangs had grown a lot, which was not easy to notice, and could only be seen when he opened his mouth. Zheng Si and kittens have collaborated on commercials, so I know how big and long the fangs of this kind of kitten will be, compared to Peanut Candy, this guy has a lot of teeth.
After saying hello, "Li Yuanba" continued to patrol the streets with peanut candy, and Zheng Si staggered with them. Zheng Si is not worried that "Li Yuanba" will be captured by those cat dealers, and with it, the peanut candy will be fine.
When he came to an alley in an old building area, Zheng Si heard a lot of noise ahead, and many people were talking about something. Originally, Zheng Si was about to change his route, but he suddenly grabbed words such as "cat abuse", "kitten cub", and "really pitiful" in his ears.
There were a lot of people around there, Zheng Si couldn't get close, looked around, Zheng Si climbed the broken wooden ladder resting on the wall, jumped from the wooden ladder to the surrounding wall, and then when he was close to the scene, he jumped to the balcony of a resident inside the wall, which was not easy to be found here, and it was convenient for Zheng Si to observe the situation over there.
The door to the balcony of this house was also tightly locked, and the floor was covered with dust. The owner's family is estimated to have gone to other places for the New Year, and there seems to be no one in the house for a few days, which is also the main reason why Zheng Si chose this house.
Zheng Si stood on a flower pot with only soil and no flowers, and looked through the gap between the two rags that were drying there.
There were a lot of people around, almost covering the center of the incident, and there was not much picture to see from Zheng Si's angle, but when there was a noisy push and shoving, Zheng Si saw the situation on the ground from the occasional exposed gap.
There were three little cats lying on the ground, less than a month old, with blood on their bodies, lying motionless on the cold ground, squatting beside them a big white cat, still long-haired, it came up from time to time to look at the three kittens on the ground, touched them with the tip of its nose, and then shouted twice at the young man who was standing two steps away against the wall smoking a cigarette and looking like a hanger, the voice sounded like crying, each one dragged on for a long time, as if wailing.
The young man smoking a cigarette left his coat on the side, revealing his dragon tattooed shoulder, which was scary to look at, perhaps this was why some people around him did not dare to say anything too much.
Someone said something a little heavier before, and was punched twice by this young man with a dragon tattoo, and if it weren't for someone around him, he might have been beaten even harder. Several older people standing around were also kicked by him and helped away.
From the noise of these people, Zheng Si learned a general idea. The cat lives next door, but its owner's family moved out a few years ago and didn't take it with them because it was too troublesome, not to mention a litter of kittens that had not been weaned. As a neighbor, the man with the dragon tattoo said that he would take in these cats, and the family was in a hurry to leave, although he knew that this fierce neighbor was not easy to get along with, and the cat would definitely suffer if he followed this person, but he didn't say much after that, and left with his luggage.
This tattooed man accepts these cats and plans to sell them for money in the future, as for usually, he gives the cat food perfunctory, and when he remembers it, he will give his own food casually, and if he can't remember, forget it.
Not every cat has the same strong stomach as Zheng Si. Unable to eat the food, the female cat had to go out to forage for food, and when she came back, she happened to see the tattooed man throwing kittens.
The tattooed man completely went out and got angry and came back to take the cat to vent his anger, and the surrounding residents saw him and accused him, and they were also beaten away one by one, and it was useless to call the police over.
