On the way home, Shen Jie has been very careful with her cat.

She held her schoolbag in both hands, holding it on her chest, while the cat sat in the bag, her fluffy little paws pulling at the opening of the schoolbag, barking all the way, while sticking out her little head and looking around curiously.

This is a Chinese pastoral civet with a slightly gray color, looking at the size of the cat, it should already be an adult cat, but it is as lively and active as a kitten who has never seen the world. Its eyes glow a little golden, and it glows warmly in the faint setting sun, and its fur is soft and smooth and feels great to the touch.

The "dog" stretched out its small paw and politely, politely and firmly pushed Xiao Yao's hand away, reminding him to maintain social distancing.

"People can see that you don't have a good heart." Shen Jie smiled deliciously, that relaxed look couldn't be seen at all as the person who came back from the ghost gate just now.

"Say what?" Xiao Yao was dissatisfied: "I'm a father." ”

As he spoke, he went to pat the cat's head.

The "dog" resisted fiercely and gave Xiao Yao a "ha".

"Oh, oh, the kitten is so fierce! I'm going to go back and tell my grandmother to get her old man out of here. Xiao Yao threatened the "dog".

"You dare." Shen Jie said with a smile.

The "dog" gently shook its pair of small ears and looked like it didn't care. Its cat ears are small and delicate, and the tips of the ears are slightly upturned, which looks very cute.

Xiao Yao actually doesn't care much about this meow, he still cares about his mother.

He and Shen Jie walked side by side, peeking at her warm, happy expression.

Since Meow's mother ran away from home for the second time, this is the first time Xiao Yao has seen Meow's mother show such an expression.

Also, a meow mother without a meow, what kind of meow mother is it?

Shen Jie's happy expression reminded Xiao Yao of the first time he won the little red flower when he was in the kindergarten class, which was probably such an expression.

And when he was a child, his parents finally gave him permission to watch an episode of "Ultraman Cosmic Heroes".

Xiao Yao stretched out his hand.

The meow mother is meowing, and the dog is meowing the mother.

"Meow~~~~"

We all have a bright future.

As mentioned earlier, the "dog's" small paws gently tugged at the opening of the bag, scratching uneasily and making a slight sound. Its eyes were bright and agile, shimmering mysteriously like two obsidians.

Yu Luying walked up silently.

Since leaving the hospital, Yu Luying and Shen Jie have not said a word, but have been following behind them, silently bowing their heads and pressing something on their mobile phones as they walk.

When the "dog" saw Yu Luying approaching, his mouth opened slightly, revealing a row of small fangs, as if he was ready to let out a whimper at any time.

"Dog, obedient." Shen Jie reached out and pinched the back of the "dog's" neck.

The "dog" was silent, lowered his head, and let Yu Luying gently stroke his soft hair.

Yu Luying felt the slightly trembling body of the "dog", and then, she heard the cat make a "purr" sound.

"It likes you very much." Shen Jie said to Yu Luying with a smile.

“…… Well. Yu Luying was silent for a few seconds and replied softly.

The "dog" began to poke out its fleshy little tongue and gently lick Yu Luying's palm, and finally, it simply poked its upper body out of the schoolbag and arched Yu Luying's palm with its wet little nose until she smiled.

"Now, I'm the only 'persona non grata.'" Xiao Yao laughed at himself.

The two girls let out a trembling laugh together, and the solidified atmosphere between the three of them was suddenly opened.

"I've always wanted to have a cat," Shen Jie said to Xiao Yao and Yu Luying, "but Dad is allergic to cat hair......"

"I guess I don't like pets, I guess I said that on purpose." Xiao Yao said.

"My mother is fine," Yu Luying told Shen Jie calmly: "When I was in elementary school, my family had a dog, and we called it 'Xinxin'. ”

"And then?" Shen Jie pressed the head of the "dog", stuffed it back into the schoolbag, and half-fastened the button.

"Later," Yu Luying's tone seemed to be talking about someone else's home: "Then one day, Xinxin suddenly disappeared and was stolen." ”

"It's lost, right? What kind of people are we going to steal dogs? What are you stealing for? Xiao Yao was dumbfounded.

"I don't know," Yu Luying replied in a brisk tone, "Maybe it's a dog dealer who stole it and sold it to a dog meat restaurant, right?" ”

"Impossible," Xiao Yao waved his hand like Cao Cao: "Absolutely impossible!" ”

Xiao Yao insisted that Xin Xin was lost and picked up by someone, while Yu Luying scoffed at his innocence.

Shen Jie saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly changed the topic.

The two of them have a match, chatting about cats and dogs, and no one mentioned the matter at noon again, but Xiao Yao can feel that there is more awkward politeness, coldness, politeness and rustiness between the two sisters, and the intimacy of "back then" is no longer there.

When she walked into the alley, the proprietress of the commissary took the initiative to greet Xiao Yao: "Yaoyao, Yingying, you're back." ”

"Ahh "Ahh Xiao Yao and Yu Luying both subconsciously responded.

"You guys bring your classmates back to play." The old woman seemed to be in a particularly good mood today and continued to talk nonsense.

The corners of Shen Jie's mouth drooped slightly, and she walked quickly towards the alley.

It's really unreasonable, how can I say that I have lived in this alley for so long, Shen Jie thought.

Before arriving home, there were two neighbors who greeted the three little ones one after another.

Grandma was busy with dinner in the soap room, and when she saw the cat in Shen Jie's schoolbag, she was stunned at first, and then she was stunned when she saw Yu Luying coming in.

Yu Luying volunteered to take over the work of making dinner, and after her grandmother confirmed that the cat was what Shen Jie wanted to raise and not Xiao Yao picked up, she went downstairs to buy cat litter and cat food.

"This is too unfair," Xiao Yao complained while standing in the soap room, "whether I am my own grandson or not." ”

"What's wrong?"

"At the beginning, I also said that I wanted to raise a cat to play, but she scolded me for splitting my head and covering my face, and now Shen Jie wants to raise it, so she will ...... It's too double-standard, so let's play it. Xiao Yao deliberately complained like this.

Yu Luying rolled her eyes slightly: "This just shows that you are your own grandson." ”

"Huh?" Shen Jie was a little uneasy and put a small enamel bowl given by her grandmother on the ground between the soap chips, and poured bright milk into the small bowl: "Xiao Yao, it turns out that your grandmother doesn't like cats?" Why didn't you say it earlier? Oh no, I'm talking so much about picking up the cat and coming back, isn't it a little too much to treat myself as an outsider? Will there be impression points deducted from grandma? ”

Xiao Yao secretly complained in his heart, you finally know that you are talking to yourself, but you said: "No, grandma actually doesn't like cats, she is just lazy and troublesome." ”

"Oh......" Shen Jie said, "Then I will take care of it, don't bother grandma." ”

"Well," Xiao Yao said, "Grandma's original objection to me raising a cat was that you can't even raise it yourself, and you still have a cat." ”

"Grandma is right." Yu Luying answered.

"Besides, how can I tell you," Xiao Yao continued, adding, "You talk to yourself...... You picked it all up, I looked at the way you looked at it, my heart was about to melt, how could I still tell you that grandma didn't like it, and I could still let you throw it away? I've thought about it, if my grandmother won't let you raise it, I'll fight with her. ”

"It's again." Yu Luying said with a spoon.

"Dog, I knew you were good to me." Shen Jie recognized.

"The two of you, one is called a dog and the other is a dog, do you usually get confused?" Yu Luying said.

"Hey, by the way, is the dog a man or a woman?" Mother Meow said as she turned her belly over as the tanuki struggled and protested.

"There's a little cock," Xiao Yao squinted his eyes and observed: "It's a male cat—no wonder I kiss you two and not me." ”

"Really." Yu Luying said: "I always felt that it was a female cat. ”

"Castrate him!" Xiao Yao pretended to be evil and said fiercely.

"Do you think they're all like you? Little Colored Cat! Shen Jie bared her teeth at him.

"No," Xiao Yao explained to Shen Jie: "You must castrate a male cat, otherwise you will feel good in the spring." ”

"Of course I do." Shen Jie was a little sullen and touched the belly of the tanuki cat, who was lying on the body of the beautiful girl, grinning and squinting, looking very pleasant, unaware of the disaster that was about to befall her head.

"Hey, it's pitiful to be a cat," Yu Luying sympathized with it: "People used to be at ease in the school, and they were loved by thousands of people, but one day they were suddenly tied up here by you and locked up, and they had to be cleansed and become eunuchs." ”

"The male cat really doesn't want to castrate, and it's not a big problem, it's a big deal to find him a girlfriend," Xiao Yao stroked his chin and said: "If it's really a female cat, I'll come home with a belly of meow cubs in two years, and even run away with the stray wild cats outside, ungrateful, how sad will I have to be then?" ”

When he said this, both girls looked at him with strange eyes.

Xiao Yao wondered, thinking to himself what was wrong?

Only then did he react, which means that the speaker has no intention, and the listener has a heart.

"Where do you want to go?" Xiao Yao shouted, "I'm talking about cats!" ”

Shen Jie showed an expression that seemed to be smiling, Xiao Yao knew that he was getting darker and darker the more he depicted.

"Oops, my fish!" Yu Luying exclaimed.

Xiao Yao and Shen Jie looked up at the stove together, only to see that the "dog" didn't know when, and unconsciously jumped onto the table, stretching out his little tongue to lick the head of the braised fish.

The boy pounced, picked up the "dog", and put it heavily on the ground.

"Meow~~~"

"Why do dogs fall on other people's dogs?" Shen Jie protested distressedly.

"I didn't fall, I just ......," Xiao Yao argued.

"Eat something, eat something." As she spoke, Shen Jie took out a paper towel, wrapped the head of the braised bream, twisted the fish head whole, and placed it next to the small bowl of milk.

Xiao Yao helplessly looked down at the tanuki cat feasting: "You just get used to it." ”

Grandma came back with five catties of cat food and a big bag of cat litter. The three little ones (mainly Shen Jie and Yu Luying) helped grandma get the cat litter or something, and grandma used the leftover fish and fish soup at noon to mix the rice for the "dog" to eat.

At dinnertime, after the three children prayed before eating, Yu Luying officially applied to Xiao Yao's grandmother to stay for a while.

Grandma was taken aback - simply shocked.

"This, this," she looked embarrassed, looked at Xiao Yao, then at Shen Jie, then at Xiao Yao, and then at Yu Luying: "It's not convenient, right...... You see we're very small here, and, and it's ......."
