Chapter 9 Boss, Did Your Cat Run Away from Home?
When Zheng Si went out to go down the stairs, he found a note pasted on the corner of the stairs from the fifth floor to the fourth floor, which was just at the eye level of Zheng Si.
"If you go far away, turn off unnecessary power to avoid potential safety hazards, and pull the doors and windows to save the wind from blowing sand and dust in, remember to bring food...... Please refer to the detailed instructions on the desk for specific steps. ”
Jiao's father's handwriting.
Zheng Si tugged at his ears, turned around helplessly, opened the door with some difficulty with the key hanging around his neck, entered the bedroom of the Jiao family and his wife, jumped on the desk, and sure enough, there was an open notepad there, listing all the things to be done in detail. Zheng Si looked at it again, went back and walked along the house, turned off part of the power according to the instructions on the instructions, and pulled the doors and windows together.
After tidying everything up, Zheng Si went out with a bag of thumb cakes, swiped the access control card, and came to a plane tree next to the cement road of the family compound in the eastern district, and climbed the tree. There was a fist-sized hole in the third branch, and Zheng Si put the key and access card in it, and then grabbed two more leaves to cover it.
Birds rarely stay in the trees on this side of the compound, including the parrot, and as for the other cats, they rarely climb trees here, and when they do, they climb the trees on the other side of the grove, not on the side of the concrete road. So Zheng Si put things here at ease, after all, it is impossible for him to go out with the access card marked with the identity of the pet and the house key, it is too inconvenient, and it will be even more troublesome if he does something bad and is caught.
After putting it away, Zheng Si came to the grass next to Dongyuan Supermarket and waited for the opportunity to get on the bus.
The delivery driver was helping to unload the goods, and after moving the last box of things on the pickup truck, the driver leaned against the door to smoke, and saw Zheng Si squatting in the grass with a bag of thumb cakes that children often eat next to him.
"Yo, Black Tan, are you going out to play today?"
The delivery driver knows Zheng Si, he is already familiar with this scene, the difference is that today the cat also brought a bag of biscuits, is this preparing to go out?
Zheng Si also took these two delivery vehicles out to slip through twice, and the delivery driver still had some complaints, but after Jiao's father sent two cigarettes and a mention of wine, the truck driver could smile a chrysanthemum every time he saw Zheng Si, as long as Zheng Si hitched a ride, it meant that he would receive gifts in the future, and the cigarettes and alcohol were good goods, and they would be sold for more than 100 in the supermarket over there in the central department store.
Zheng Si stretched his waist, picked up his thumb cake and jumped into the back compartment of the pickup truck, waiting for the driver to finish the bill with the supermarket owner and leave.
There is nothing else in the wagon bed today, it is unloaded cleanly.
"Black carbon, today's goods have been delivered, I don't go to the central department store, I will go home directly, don't go to the east school gate, take the back door of the north second gate."
The first two times Zheng Si went to the Central Department Store to walk around, two stops away from the East Campus Gate on the side of the family compound, and it takes about 20 minutes for people to walk, but in the Central Department Store, you can actually clearly see the tall building of Chuhua University. The school is big, and it takes a few stops to get from one end of the school to the other.
The truck driver just said that he didn't expect a cat to understand what he said, all he could do was let the black cat hitchhike, and he didn't care where the cat hitchhiking.
When it was almost six o'clock, the things in Dongyuan Supermarket were counted and the accounts were settled. The truck driver greeted Zheng with a sigh, and then drove the small truck to the North Second Gate.
The sunset had turned orange and was ready to fall to the horizon, and at the entrance of the North District cafeteria, students were coming in and out, and the last class was not long after class, and they were talking and laughing about the day.
The pickup truck passed by the North District canteen, and Zheng Si, who was squatting in the shadow of the pickup truck, looked at them, remembering his former self, and suddenly felt a little sad. Before I came here, I was a junior in college.
When the pickup truck drove to the fork near the North District Canteen, Zheng Si saw a young man in white overalls pedaling on a 28-style bicycle that rang nothing except the bell and headed towards the North District Canteen. If you ignore the words "Chuhua University North District Canteen" printed on the left chest of his work clothes, others may think that he came out of some laboratory.
The surrounding people come and go are the future elites of the motherland, but this young man who rides a 28 car and wears a canteen uniform does not have too much envy in his eyes, let alone inferiority.
Going out from the north gate of Chuhua University, I didn't get close to the central department store, I could only look at the lights of the central department store from a distance, where there were all familiar things with Zheng Si, and the neon lights around the central department store had also been lit up, and the huge screen was flickering, showing the prosperity of the metropolis.
Zheng Si looked at everything backwards outside the car, like an out-of-place bystander, obviously seeing a lot, but he didn't think about anything in his head, and he was in a trance all the time.
The pickup truck travels from the city center to the Third Ring Road to the suburbs, and the night is getting darker and the wind is getting colder.
The sudden pause of the pickup truck made Zheng Si, who was in a daze, hit his head on the baffle of the carriage with a "bang".
Zheng Si raised his hair paws and pulled the hair on his head.
Listening to the conversation of outsiders, Zheng Si knew that the truck driver had arrived home. Got up and shook off the dust on his body, jumped out of the carriage with the bag of thumb cakes in his mouth, and looked around, Zheng Si decided to find a place to sleep first, and then go out during the day, although he is a cat now, he still likes to walk in the daytime.
When Zheng Si was looking for a place to spend the night, the phone rang in a dormitory in a graduate student dormitory building of Chuhua University.
The person closest to the phone picked up and said a few respectful words, and then said, "Please wait first, he should finish taking a shower, I'll call him" and put the phone on the table and came to the bed diagonally opposite.
The person on the bed was sleeping soundly, grinding his teeth and laughing, and the other three people in the dormitory were now numb except for the horror at the beginning.
The person who answered the phone just now pushed the person who was grinding his teeth on the bed, and said in a low voice: "Yi Xin, your boss's phone!" I said you were taking a shower in the toilet just now, don't talk about it later. ”
Hearing the words "your boss", the person who was a little dazed suddenly woke up, hurriedly climbed out of bed, ran to the toilet and cleared his throat, the voice of the person who just woke up from sleep would be a little hoarse, Yi Xin didn't want the tutor to know that he was actually sleeping in the golden time of his memory at night, didn't this ruin his image in the boss's heart.
"Teacher Jiao, I'm sorry I was just taking a shower, is there anything wrong with you?" Yi Xin picked up the phone and felt that he was pretending to be good.
The roommates who played games around him didn't even type on the keyboard in order to cooperate, and they pretended to discuss the academic question of why eating meat with garlic is nutritious.
On the other end of the phone, Jiao's father paused and said, "I'm sorry to disturb your sleep." ”
Yi Xin: "...... "What kind of ears do you have for your mother's boss!" The resolution is so high!
However, what made Yi Xin happy was that Associate Professor Jiao did not continue to dwell on this topic, but said, "Do you have time now?" ”
"Yes!" Yi Xin hurriedly said that even if he didn't, he would squeeze it out.
Twenty minutes later, Yi Xin stood in the living room of Jiao's house with the key he had found in the drawer of Associate Professor Jiao's office.
Yi Xin came to Jiao's house for the second time, the first time was when the results of the postgraduate re-examination were announced in the first half of this year, he was Associate Professor Jiao's first student, plus he was also very capable, Associate Professor Jiao attached great importance to him and invited him to Jiao's house for dinner.
Yi Xin had never seen Zheng Si, and when Zheng Si went to the Biology Building, no one else knew except for the Jiao family, so Yi Xin didn't know that the cat raised by his mentor's family was a bit special.
After looking around, but didn't see the cat's shadow, Yi Xin came to the bedroom and dialed back to Associate Professor Jiao with the phone in the bedroom.
"Teacher Jiao, I didn't see the cat, did your cat run away from home?" After saying that, Yi Xin couldn't wait to slap himself. Make your mouth cheap!
"Unplugged air conditioner?" Jiao's father asked on the other side of the phone.
"Unplugged! The kitchen socket switch is also turned off! Yi Xin hurriedly said, describing the situation in the house.
"Teacher Jiao, why don't I go buy a bag of cat food and put it here?" Yi Xin asked.
"No, as long as there are snacks on the sofa, the fridge is still full."
Yi Xin: Does ...... have such a cat?
"You come and see me every day, and you can tell me on my home phone. As for the summary of your work, there is no need to report this week. ”
Hearing that there was no need to report the progress of the experiment, Yi Xin breathed a sigh of relief, the experiment had not gone well in the past two days, and there was nothing to report.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll come over at this point every day."
On the train, Jiao's father, who had finished the order, put his mobile phone back in his pocket and looked at the dark night outside the window.
That little bastard really ran out again!
