Chapter 11: The Great Discussion About Cats
After a hasty meal, Tao Le simply cleaned up the house. Naturally, it was impossible for Ximu to let her dance lightly, so Tao Le had to sacrifice the magic weapon, the pet carrier given by Garbo Cattery, and tied the shell sick cat in front of him.
Simu's perceptual talent is so keen, he can naturally detect the compassion and compassion that this human woman suddenly burst out. This may be the unique way of expressing feelings of the Blue Star people, right? He thought.
Tao Le paid and walked out of the taxi with Simu in his arms.
Taiping County has developed well in recent years, with a permanent population of nearly 500,000 and many new communities have been built.
Tao Le's parents still live in an old building more than 20 years ago, which is a family building built by Tao's father's unit, with a total of four buildings. The Tao family is in the innermost building, next to the small green hill behind.
His house is on the second floor, with an area of more than 80 square meters, and it is sandwiched into a three-bedroom apartment. When you open the window from Tao Le's house, you can reach out and reach out to the branches of the peach tree that come from the mountain.
It was Tao Le's mother, Ren Hong, who opened the door. As soon as he saw her, Tao Le remembered what happened thirty years later, and his eyes instantly turned red.
"Mom!" She opened her arms and hugged her mother, and Ren Hong greeted her with a smile on her face as usual. However, the imaginary touching picture of a mother and daughter embracing each other did not appear as expected.
"Woohoo!" A loud cry echoed through the room, the angry self-help of Simu, who was caught in the middle.
Ren Hong stared at Ximu hanging on her daughter's chest in shock, and exclaimed, "Where did you pick up the cat from?" Why is it so big and so ugly? ”
Tao Le's reaction was extremely fast, and he covered Ximu's ears for the first time. She knew very well how much the Miao people held grudges, and she didn't want her mother to be recorded in a small black book because she told a few truths.
Ximu sensed Ren Hong's disgust and heard her words. If he was to say that he was ashamed, it was definitely there, but it wasn't that serious—he already had a psychological expectation of the generally low aesthetic quality of the Blue Star people.
The Miao Empire has also gradually expanded by absorbing many races over a long period of time, and there are indeed some unique races with different tastes.
For example, the Qiang wolf clan only loves the appearance of long mouths and fangs; The Fulars, however, prefer large, round compound eyes. However, when faced with the royal family, their appreciation is surprisingly unanimous, and it is heartfelt and never false.
It can be seen that the true and ultimate beauty in the great universe will not be buried because of racial differences; It will only be deliberately distorted and misunderstood because of the difference in the degree of evolution.
In this regard, Ximu has his own royal mind and measure. For the sake of the nominal master, this hall will forgive you, you, you, and you who are not well evolved!
The reason why he is like this is because there are really many people in the small living room in front of him.
Tao Le's father Tao Xingqian, brother Tao Zhi, sister-in-law Li Qing, and five-year-old nephew Tao Qizhan packed the small hall of less than 20 square meters.
Not all of them expressed their opinions clearly, but the disgust and disgust that every adult had naturally leaked after looking at Simu, whether explicitly or secretly, far or near, could not be concealed from him at all.
"Lele, why don't you say a word when you have a cat, just bring it home - where did this cat come from, has it been vaccinated?" Ren Hong's face was full of disapproval.
Indeed, Tao Ma has never liked stuffed animals. She dislikes them for having parasites and shedding hair, so she never lets her children have pets.
Time was so far away that Tao Le actually forgot about it.
"Mom, this is a kitten born to a friend's own cat, the vaccine and deworming have been done, and it doesn't shed hair at all, so don't worry." Tao Le explained vigorously. She didn't dare tell the truth.
She didn't get a job, and the money to buy a cat was the family she saved during college, and in the final analysis, it was also the hard-earned money of her parents.
Tao Le's parents were both workers. Ren Hong works in a garment factory, and has long since retired, with a pension of only a little over 1,000; Tao Xingqian continued to work as a technician in the county bearing factory, with a salary of more than 4,000 yuan, but the factory has been sluggish in the past two years, and everyone at his age has been persuaded to go home, and his income is about to be halved.
For such a family, it is not impossible to have a pet, but it is inconceivable to spend a lot of money to buy it.
If it weren't for the special situation, Tao Le wouldn't believe that she would spend thousands of dollars to buy a cat, and her parents would not have accepted it.
"When you grow up, you can make your own decisions, and we can't care about any messy things you raise outside." Ren Hong did not change his point of view because of Tao Le's few words. She threw it down with a bang, turned and went back to the kitchen.
Tao Zhi walked over, glanced at Ximu up close, and had a mocking smile on his face: "Lele, even if you really want to raise a cat, you don't have to be this one, right?" Aren't you scared when you see this appearance at night? Listen to my brother's words, my friend's silver gradient has just given birth to a litter of kittens, I asked him to pick one for you, and this one will be thrown away. ”
As soon as the words fell, Tao Zhi saw the ugly cat turn his head, a pair of black and golden eyes staring at him faintly, and the colorful ugly face showed a meaningful expression, as if giving him a silent warning: "You wait, I remember you."
What are you kidding, how can cats really understand human speech? How could you show such an expression? He must have read it wrong!
Seeing this, Tao Le hurriedly started a round: "Brother, I'm studying medicine, and there are skeletons in the dormitory, what can I be afraid of?" I just like this one, take a good look at it, how beautiful and chic he is! Her hand touched Simu's head soothingly, and at the same time desperately glanced at Tao Zhi.
Truth be told, she already regretted coming back with the ugly cat.
Tao Zhi didn't feel her emotions, but Simu immediately noticed it. This girl named Lele is worried and anxious and other complex emotions, probably because she is afraid that the main hall will be lost and angry, right?
She must have cared deeply about the feelings of the main hall, and tried her best to make amends and comfort herself. This thought is really heartfelt and enthusiastic. I don't know why, the remaining trace of unhappiness in Ximu's heart has disappeared unconsciously.
"What are you doing standing at the door, come in and talk to Daddy." Dad Tao didn't comment on Simu, turned around and sat back on the sofa. On TV, his favorite military program was being broadcast.
Tao Le changed his slippers, unfastened his harness and lowered Simu, and then resolutely removed the two front paws that he held his ankles.
"I'm a little tired and need to rest for a while. Also, in my parents' house, I also needed some independent space. Can you play by yourself for a while? She whispered in Simu's ear.
Tao Le didn't realize that when she spoke to Ximu, her tone was always unconsciously soft and soft.
The breath from her mouth blew onto the fluff in his ears, like a willow wind gently blowing through the peach petals, itchy, crispy, and sent an indescribable strange feeling, accompanied by a slight tremble, into the bottom of Ximu's heart.
Simu's pale golden left ear slowly turned champagne pink, while the other dark blue right ear was slowly but surely rendered purple red.
This is a wonderful feeling that Simu has never experienced in his life. He was stunned on the spot, not knowing why, at a loss.
