Because of the stranger's business, Ah Huang and the sheriff have been at home for a few days, and Da Fat is still the same way he doesn't come out if he doesn't call it. As for Zheng Si, he agreed to Xiao Guo to shoot a cat food advertisement, and was taken by Jiao's father and Jiao's mother to the "Obviously So" pet center for two days to take photos.

The first ad is not a video ad as Zheng Si imagined, but a picture story.

Zheng Si has been ignoring one thing before, at this time, the development of online video is not as hot as ten years later, and even many people are not optimistic about the development of online video, speculating that its prospects will not be optimistic, and some people even evaluate it as hopeless.

However, Xiao Guo didn't think so, and when discussing the contract with Jiao's father, he said that "the charm of the Internet lies in its ability to turn decay into a miraculous reversal due to the update of technology." This sentence made Zheng Si look up to him again, as a person who came over, Zheng Si knew better than anyone else what the Internet would develop like in ten years.

Compared with the single advertising pictures of other businesses, Xiao Guo's own advertisements in the form of picture stories will be more attractive, even if people who do not have pets at home will like to watch them, at least to improve the brand's popularity.

With Zheng Si, it doesn't take much effort to shoot such story pictures, and even cat food is not used, which makes Xiao Guo very happy. It's hard to get a cat to make the ideal expression, and the limitations of the times don't make it a lot of effort for businesses to put in this form of advertising.

Such a picture story advertisement will be posted in a pet forum on the Internet, and at the same time, it will also be published in a paper magazine. Another reason why Xiao Guo was so anxious to let Zheng Si go over to shoot commercials was this. Some time ago, a friend of Xiao Guo founded a new pet magazine, which was published once a month, and Xiao Guo was also happy to take this ride.

In fact, before Zheng Si came to the pet center, Xiao Guo tried other cats, and several of them were still precious cat breeds, but the shooting process and effect were really ...... He was so angry that his stomach hurt.

However, after Zheng Si came over, the shooting went smoothly, and every action and every look didn't need to be spoken, so Comrade Xiao Guo's stomach didn't hurt anymore, and the cat food was also saved, so he hurriedly pulled Jiao's father to sign the contract.

Because "Love" magazine is a monthly magazine, Zheng Si just needs to shoot it once a month, which is nothing for Zheng Si, in addition to making some small extra money for this advertisement, Zheng Si also has a playful mentality. The funniest thing is that the small print at the end of the story map also reads "Actor: blackC".

Marking the name of the pet is Xiao Guo's habit, and this "blackC" is Jiao's father's idea, and he did not directly report Zheng Si's real cat name, which is also a kind of protection for Zheng Si.

As for this "blackC", Xiao Guo also asked the reason, and Jiao's father explained that black is black, and "C" represents "carbon" in the periodic table, so what is it......

The first time he shot a cat food advertisement, Xiao Guo put a thousand yuan on the card, and Jiao's mother said that it was much more than expected. A thousand yuan was really nothing to Zheng Si in the past, but now it is a rare and big honorarium.

Jiao's father also applied for a bank card for Zheng Si, which was specially used to deposit advertising fees for Zheng Si. In fact, it's not just Zheng Si, Jiao Yuan and Gu Youzi have their own bank cards, which are stored in the New Year's money, in the exam reward money, and then the pocket money is deducted from it, but now the cards are all pinched in Jiao's father's hands to prevent them from abusing them. This is Jiao Dad's unique way of education.

However, what has always puzzled Zheng Si is why Jiao's father would use such a method for a cat.

Sometimes Zheng Si doesn't understand what Associate Professor Jiao thinks, but no matter what, after more than three months of getting along, Zheng Si also has a certain understanding of Jiao's father, at least he can be sure that Jiao's father will not be unfavorable to him. I don't know if people who are engaged in scientific research are particularly easy to accept some extraordinary events.

If people outside knew how Associate Professor Jiao got along with his cat, he didn't know how many eyeballs he would be shocked. People including Jiao's mother, Jiao Yuan, and Gu Youzi actually didn't know that Zheng Si and Jiao's father got along like this.

After filming the advertisement, Zheng Si was fine, after nesting at home for two days, he still couldn't help running out for a walk, this time he didn't find any suspicious characters, he went to the big lawn to observe once, he didn't see the person last time, but he saw the guinea pig, a little girl who was not much older than Gu Youzi and her mother watched the hairy guinea pig walking around on the grass. Zheng Si plans to stay away from the mother and daughter in the future, so as not to provoke that person again.

On this day, Zheng Si came back from a walk outside, and before he entered the door, he noticed a strange atmosphere.

Got guests?

The atmosphere in the living room is not very good, too silent, Jiao's mother is cooking in the kitchen, but she is also a little absent-minded. Jiao's father and the man sat on the sofa smoking cigarettes, and neither spoke.

The guest was about the same age as Jiao's father, and he didn't seem to be in a good mental state, a little decadent, and his eyes were bloodshot, like someone who had stayed up for several nights. Jiao's father called that person "Yuanzi", and it was obvious that the relationship was still good. But why the two of them are unusually silent now, even a little heavy, Zheng Si doesn't quite understand.

A small table was placed in Jiao Yuan's room, and when it was inconvenient for the two children to be present, Jiao's mother would move out the small wooden table with a Chinese chess pattern and let Jiao Yuan and Gu Youzi eat in the small room. Some of the topics for adults are not suitable for children.

So seeing this, Zheng Si was even more curious, what topic is not suitable for the two children to be present?

Zheng Si jumped on his special chair and rested on his stomach, learning about the situation by the way.

Regarding Zheng Si's actions, Jiao's father just glanced up and didn't say anything, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Regardless of how silent he was before, after three glasses of wine, his closed mouth opened.

In the conversation between the two big men with a handful of snot and tears, Zheng Si got a general idea.

Professor Yuan, the master's and doctoral supervisor of Jiao's father during his graduate school, is the father of this "Yuanzi", with stage 4 lung cancer, and his physical condition is also very bad, and it is estimated that there are still two months to go.

When Jiao's father graduated from the University of South China, Professor Yuan went abroad. Since Yuan Lao was not there, Jiao's father did not stay at Nanhua University, but returned to his hometown Jinghan Province to teach in Chuhua.

The University of South China is the leader of universities on the southern coast of China, and has the same status as Chuhua University in Central China.

Jiao's mother, Jiao's father and this "Yuanzi" had a good relationship when they were in Nanhua, and naturally they had a good relationship with Professor Yuan.

"Yuanzi" did not inherit his father's mantle, he had no intention of studying at all, or in other words, he had always been distracted when he was in school, just like Zheng Si at the beginning, he was a loser.

Zheng Si didn't know what this "Yuanzi" had experienced after graduation, and how much it had been hit by his father's illness, but according to the conversation between the two, this Yuanzi had changed a lot. Just like Jiao's father just said, "The prodigal son turned back".

It is said that the prodigal son does not change his money, but many times, the prodigal son would rather be a prodigal son forever, because the price of the prodigal son's return is huge, and he would rather exchange his never-return in exchange for those "costs".

"So, if it weren't for Fei Hang notifying me that you came to Chuhua City, would you be ready to continue to carry it alone? Ready to hide it from everyone for the rest of your life?! Dad Jiao's eyes were red, his voice was not high, but he was a little trembling, obviously unable to control his emotions.

Jiao's mother didn't speak, sitting next to her and wiping her tears alone.

"Old man, he ...... I don't want too many people to know that I haven't continued to receive various treatments now, and I just want to close my eyes quietly in my hometown. Yuanzi sniffed and said.

Jiao's father back then was the trump card in the hands of Mr. Yuan, who didn't envy Professor Yuan for having such a student in the School of Life Sciences of the University of South China? Coupled with his son's inaction, Professor Yuan can be said to be like a son to Jiao's father, and Jiao's father's current achievements are all brought out by Mr. Yuan. But since Yuan Lao went abroad, the two sides only occasionally communicate through chat software or email, not frequently, and Yuan Lao always seems to have various things on his side. Last week, Jiao's father received an email from the old man, saying that he would not touch the computer for a long time. Now that it seems like this, the old man is really prepared not to tell anyone else.

After being silent for a while, Dad Jiao stabilized his mood and asked again, "What are you coming to Chuhua City for this time?" Fei Hang said you came to investigate. What to examine? If you need help, just open your mouth. ”

Yuanzi rubbed his face with his palm and said, "I'm going to start a biological company." It's not a petty fight. ”

Jiao's father nodded, "Chuhua City is really good here, there are too many new companies on the southern coast, companies established by various parties at home and abroad have risen one after another, the Pearl City in East China has southern genes, the capital has Huada gene, and the major bases are dominant, and interest groups have gradually formed, and it is not impossible to get involved, but it will be very laborious, in contrast, the competitiveness of Central China is much smaller, and the progress of development is also fast, I can still help here." ”

Zheng Si didn't quite understand what Jiao's father and Yuanzi were discussing, and he didn't understand what the company that the two were discussing was going to do, so he listened to it on his stomach for a while, and then went to Jiao Yuan's room.

A few days later, Zheng Si was called to the room by Jiao's father and told that the four members of the Jiao family were going to the northeast.

Professor Yuan's hometown is in the Northeast, and when something like that happens, Jiao's father also understands that Zheng Si made this decision, but ...... In this way, you are alone at home?!

Jiao's father asked Zheng Si's opinion, if Zheng Sian wanted to go with him, Jiao's father would borrow a car and then drive to the northeast, so that it would be more convenient to take Zheng Si with him.

Zheng Si thought about it and shook his head. If it was to the south, he would definitely follow, and he wondered if the other self still existed. But this time I'm going to the north, so forget it.

Zheng Si didn't want to be sent to the pet center for care, and he didn't want to go to someone else's house to stay overnight, so Jiao's father left Zheng Si a key.

After the family took turns to tell Zheng Si before leaving, the summary was: "When you are at home alone, you must be obedient and don't open the door to strangers." ”

Zheng sighed: "...... am I really a child?"

Jiao Yuan and Gu Youzi left step by step, they took out their snacks and piled them on the sofa, for fear that their cats would starve.

After the four members of the Jiao family left, Zheng Si looked at the empty house, and suddenly felt that the old house had become much bigger.

It's boring. ~

Zheng Si rolled from one end to the other on the sofa in the living room, and then rolled back again, and then hung upside down on the edge of the sofa to see the upside-down vision.

Finally, Zheng Si's eyes were on the wall calendar in the living room. Jiao's father said that they would be away for a week, today is Wednesday, and they will have to wait until next Wednesday......

Wednesday?!

Zheng sighed and rolled over.

Every Wednesday is the day when there are new goods on Dongyuan Supermarket, and the delivery car will arrive at four or five o'clock in the afternoon and leave at six or seven o'clock in the evening.

It's half past four in the afternoon.

Zheng Si put the key left by Jiao's father around his neck and went out.

So, less than three hours after being told to "be obedient at home", Zheng Si decided to go out as well.
