Chapter 69: Cats
In the dark night, the cool breeze blew from the windowsill, the faint light of the street lamp shone on the dark figure, the old man in the alley took a puff of dry cigarette, he squinted, turned around and found a few small dried fish from the dark room, the old man recognized the cat, this is a strange black cat, every time he can always see the figure of the black cat wandering, it either runs agilely, or sits quietly like a ghost, the jewel-like cat's eyes are always full of human luster.
The small dried fish just landed, the black cat's cat's eyes were attracted by the dried fish, and not long after, a foot wearing brand-name leather shoes stepped on the dried fish, and the person who came was a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a suit with a big back and a big back, looking like a dog, at first glance it was the type of Sven scum.
"Dad, I heard that you went to find Xiaoli yesterday? How many times have I said, you don't look for her, what are you looking for her?. ”
The middle-aged man frowned, shook his head, and looked helpless: "If you don't come to us, we won't have so many things, you don't know how long we have quarreled." ”
The old man only felt helpless about his son's special thing, but he was completely helpless about this helplessness, and could only smoke vigorously, he admitted that he might not be a good father, otherwise how could his son become like this?.
The old man vaguely remembers that his son was so sticky to himself when he was a child, and the little child always shouted crisply behind him: "Dad", and sometimes, he would suddenly hug his neck and kiss him hard, and his eyes were crooked when he laughed, which was very cute.
When did the son become like this? The old man was in a trance, did he not do well in the exam when he was in junior high school? Addicted to the Internet in high school? Or is it away from home after college? He couldn't remember it anymore.
seems to have known that his father was a stuffy gourd, and the middle-aged man didn't wait for the old man to speak, and said to himself: "I heard that this old house is about to be demolished, and it seems that the inheritance law is going to be changed recently, and I heard that taxes have to be collected, and this house seems to be recorded in your name, right?" But when I was a child, I asked my mother, this old house is my mother's dowry before her death, you are upside down, she wrote you a name, and now my mother has been gone for so many years.
There is no reason for you to occupy the old house, and pay us directly after the demolition, and the province will be taxed. ”
"Are you hoping for my early death?" The old man's eyes widened, and he snorted coldly: "It's okay usually, you don't come to see me, I went to see you, I didn't expect you to dislike me, and now you want to come to divide the demolition money?" ”
"Anyway, after you die, won't everything be mine? This place was originally worthless, and I didn't bother to take care of it, but now that it's valuable, of course I have to come back and see. The middle-aged man took it for granted, but blamed: "I won't be close to you, in the final analysis, or is it your fault, you still complain?" If you hadn't pressed me to do my homework every day and wouldn't let me go out to play, would I have become such a character? ”
"Other people's families only go out to play after finishing their homework, why am I wrong when it comes to you?." The old man was incredulous: "You don't understand, I deliberately accompanied you to answer slowly, do you think I am pressing you to do your homework?" ”。
"Others are others, not everyone's personality is the same, it's all your fault anyway!"
The middle-aged man shouted irritably, and then took a deep breath: "Forget it, I'm not here to settle old accounts with you, how did you feel sorry for me when I was a child, I don't care anymore, but my mother's house, you have no reason to occupy it, if you sincerely want to get along with me, I'm not in a hurry, I'll come back when you leave." ”
After speaking, the middle-aged man left with a gloomy face, probably because he thought of what happened when he was a child, and he was in a violent mood but had to restrain himself.
……。
The old man trembled and stared at the back of his son leaving, his cloudy eyes seemed to carry tired emotions, for a long time, the old man slowly leaned against the threshold, he smoked hard, the white choking smoke blurred his face, the strong grief in his heart made his shoulders tremble, and his eyes were slightly moist.
At the beginning, the old man was not very poor, but all the wealth in the first half of his life was given to the white-eyed wolf son.
At the beginning, he didn't want to embarrass his son, so he took the initiative to move back to the old house after buying his son's wedding house, and then his son, who had taken all his wealth, stopped looking at him.
He always thought that his son would change his mind, who knows? In fact, the son complained about himself in his heart, and the old man couldn't understand this kind of complaint.
What's the point of being alone? The old man fell into grief and confusion, and he felt as if his heart was being held tightly by an invisible hand, and he could hardly breathe in pain.
"Meow." The black cat made a crisp and tactful sound, this voice pulled the old man out of his sad self-world, his wrinkled face was raised, and he saw the black cat sitting under the street lamp, under the warm light, the black cat also raised his chin, staring at the old man.
"Little one, are you hungry?" Looking at the black cat, the despair in the old man's heart suddenly dissolved a little bit, this feeling is very magical, obviously the last second is still very sad, the next second when he sees the cat, there seems to be a warm light into the heart, the gloom slowly eats away.
The old man, who subconsciously wanted to ignore the grief in his heart, said to himself, "Do you want to come in and sit?" I still have some ...... to eat. ”
After speaking, he saw the black cat under the street lamp with elegant steps, jumping into the window of his house, this black cat is really not going on the ordinary road, obviously the door is easier to walk, but just go through the window.
"This is dried fish, dried by yourself, and this is ham sausage, I heard that it is imported, this is dried meat ......." The old man put the food at home in small portions in front of the black cat, he didn't know what the real cat taboo to eat, so he took out a variety of things, most of which the cat could not eat.
Mo Chuchen is not an ordinary cat, but considering that the original owner will come back, he only took away a small dried fish, about this old man, he has deliberately investigated, he has a daughter-in-law who dislikes the poor and loves the rich but has a mediocre appearance and a son who always likes to see the wind and make the rudder feathers as arrows, although the character of the son and daughter-in-law is worrying, but the old man is still very good, although this old man does not know how to take care of small animals exquisitely, nor does he know psychology, he does not know how to raise children, but he has been working hard to create a rich life for his son, I didn't force my son to do anything.
……。
The old man watched the black cat leave, he put away the things on the table, and sighed at the incredibleness of the animals in the world, in front of the black cat, he had the illusion that the black cat could speak anytime and anywhere!
Early the next morning, the old man opened the door, he looked down and saw that there was a cardboard box at the door, and in the box was a three-color cat and an abandonment letter, briefly explaining the motives and reasons for why he wanted to lose the cat, followed by a lot of precautions for raising cats.
"People nowadays, really, throw away whatever they raise."
The old man looked at the letter and was speechless, he picked up the cat and looked at it carefully, this cat is very tame, but it does not have the spirituality of yesterday's black cat.
Although it was a little regrettable that the cat was not very spiritual, the old man still led the cat in, and he secretly thought in his heart that the house was indeed deserted, and it was better to add an animal to be lively .......
