Strange Life of a Cat

When Zheng Tan returned home, Jiao's mother scolded Ermao several times. The cat was taken away suddenly and stayed away for two days without even calling to report that it was safe. Mother Jiao was always worried, fearing that Er Mao would take her cat to some bad place.

Er Mao stood there obediently and was being scolded, constantly admitting his mistakes.

Seeing that Er Mao's attitude was sincere and that there was nothing wrong with her cat, Mother Jiao said a few words and left.

Senior Brother Hetao really wanted to thank the Jiao family. In his opinion, Zheng Tan and the Jiao family were tied together. If he couldn't repay the favor of a cat, he should return the favor of the Jiao family, right? However, it seems that now is not a good time to tell the truth. Let’s wait until later, Senior Brother Walnut thought.

The case is going smoothly, and there is hope for promotion. But what dissatisfies Brother Walnut is that there is no news about the second-generation rich man who catches squirrels.

The so-called car turned out to be a rental, and everything about the ID card was fake. These days, the difference between the ID photo and the real person can reach such an extent that even if the person is standing in front of you, you may not be able to recognize him. I checked all the famous rich second-generation people around, but there was no such person at all. People who have seen the second-generation fake rich man don’t remember what he looks like at all. What’s more impressive is the embarrassment of the man crying until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, with snot and tears streaming down his face.

Zheng Tan and Hei Jin have met before, but unfortunately, Senior Brother Hetao also knows that it is impossible to let these two tell him anything, unless the fake rich second generation appears again, Hei Jin will definitely recognize them.

The last time he went out, Ermao had no choice but to give the black rice to the pet center. However, when he sent the black rice this time, he specifically emphasized to the people there that peanut candy was not allowed to come near, otherwise he would file a complaint with the pet center. In fact, Ermao also wanted to change places. There were a lot of similar places in Chuhua City that helped take care of pets, but Heimi didn't buy it and wouldn't go to other places at all. He kept calling when he went there. Ermao swayed hearing that sad look. One lap, or sent to the pet center.

Since the VIP customer said so, the people at the pet center naturally followed suit. Therefore, when he went to pick up the black rice, he heard the people at the pet center promise not to let any male cats get close to him, which made Ermao quite satisfied. However, after taking Heimi home, Heimi ignored him again for three days.

Every time he sends Black Rice to the pet center, Er Mao always gets such a cold reception.

As for Zheng Tan, he has been doing pretty well recently.

Every time after experiencing those not-so-good things, he would always lament that life in the compound was so peaceful and beautiful.

The weather is getting colder and colder. At the end of the year and the New Year is approaching, students have gone home one after another after the final exams. Those who are in school are also packing up and will leave soon. Therefore, on the main road of the campus and many busy places on weekdays The place is quite deserted now. For Zheng Tan, this was a good thing. There was no one around and he could still play freely.

Recently, Zheng Tan drives his kitten car out for fun every day. In the past, since the Jiao family only had Mother Jiao and two children, Zheng Tan could not let the three people climb up and down to move the cat cart every day. The cat cart was much heavier than ordinary toy cars, and the Jiao family was still on the fifth floor, so moving Moving up and down is exhausting. It would be okay if Father Jiao was here, but forget about women and children. So Zheng Tan never moved the cat cart out except when Fang Shaokang came to visit him to play with Lao Liu.

But now, Zheng Tan can play with the cat car every day to adjust his mood and stay warm.

This started from last week. Last week, Fang Shaokang came to Chuhua University to find Cheng Zhong, the graduate student at the Department of Engineering who originally built the cat car for Zheng Tan. The reason was that Fang Mengmeng, a child, wanted to give it to her after knowing that Zheng Tan had a cat car. The family also had a cart full of rice. Mr. Fang came to it without saying a word and asked Cheng Zhong to build another cart based on Zheng Tan's cat cart and take it back to please his precious daughter.

Therefore, Cheng Zhong has been busy building cars recently. At the same time, he will also compare Zheng Tan's cat car, update some parts, and record some parameters. After playing with the car every day, Zheng Tan only needs to drive to the place where Jiao Wei and the others play with car models. Now that many students who played with car models and airplane models have left, Cheng Zhong placed a temporary studio there, and there are two local students studying with Cheng Zhong. Therefore, Zheng Tan does not need to find someone to move the car back to Jiao's house every day.

Cheng Zhong also installed a heating device in the cat car, and a layer of plush cloth was installed in the "seat" to keep warm. When Zheng Tan stayed in the car, although his head and most of his torso were still exposed, he still couldn't. I don't feel that cold.

When Zheng Tan was driving his cat car on the road, some people would joke and laugh when they saw him. But at most they felt it was a novelty. Everyone thought it was someone who took out the toy car to amuse the cat. Some people thought: This is also a good tool for walking cats. No one would think it was a cat driving the car.

In the school, students who like to play with machinery often build something and run around. Over time, when seeing similar things, everyone just looks at it and laughs, without thinking too deeply about it.

The steering wheel was inside, and Zheng Tan's paws were on it, so to people outside, it seemed like the cat was just squatting inside. There was probably someone else controlling the car, and there was no suspicion of Zheng Tan.

There was no wind today. In the winter afternoon, the sun was shining warmly on his body, which made Zheng Tan feel much better until...

"Black~Brother~"

Zheng Tan: "..." Days, days, days, days, days, days, days, days, days!

The good mood was just gone.

This paralyzed little bastard is not going to take a nap at this time, so why is he running out? !

Zheng Tan didn't need to look back, just by the sound of his voice, he knew that the children's electric four-wheeler, which was much larger than his cat car, was catching up.

Zheng Tan didn't want to hear this little kid babbling, so he accelerated decisively. Although Zheng Tan's cat car looks like a toy, it has all the functions. If it really wants to speed up, it is much faster than Jiao Ma's electric car. But in school, Zheng Tan didn't dare to act so recklessly. When Shao Kang took Zheng Tan to Lao Liu's place, he got off the bus with Liu Yao. He usually drove at a slow speed to adjust his mood.

Even if the cat car couldn't be raised to the speed Zheng Tan wanted in the school, it was still enough to get rid of the children's four-wheeler behind it.

"Hei~~Brother~~"

The childish voice was soft and a little aggrieved, as if he was about to cry, making Zheng Tan want to hit the steering wheel.

grass! I do this every time! !

Sighing, Zheng Tan slowed down the cat car and waited depressedly for the children's four-wheeler behind to catch up.

Zhuo Mao Mao's children's four-wheel electric car looks more like a cat, and the picture above is also a cat. From the front, the car's headlights look like cat eyes, and there are whiskers on the "mouth".

Some teachers in the school also bought this kind of car for their children to play with, but most of those children were around three years old, unlike Zhuo Mao Mao who started playing with it when he was less than two years old.

For safety reasons, Xiao Wan, who was responsible for taking care of Zhuo Mao Mao, held the remote control in his hand to control the car and would not really let Zhuo Mao Mao control it. Zhuo Mao Mao also seems to know that he does not control the car. He does not often turn the steering wheel and "drive" excitedly like other children. He will look directly at Xiao Wan, then tell the direction he wants to go, start and turn. , or stop.

For example, just now, when Zhuo Mao Mao wanted to catch up with Zheng Tan, he looked directly at Xiao Wan who was holding the remote control next to him, and then pointed at Zheng Tan in front of him, meaning to catch up quickly.

Xiao Wan quickly walked up to Zheng Tan's cat car after it slowed down, but he didn't feel tired or out of breath. He looked at the man and the cat with a smile. The longer she stayed in contact with him, the more special she felt about this cat. In fact, when choosing a car, she showed Zhuo Maomao many pictures of cars. The child was not satisfied and pointed to a photo hanging on the wall.

There are many photos hanging on the wall, most of them were taken when Zhuo Xiaomao was one year old, and one of them was of him and the black cat together.

Zhuo Maomao wanted a cat car that looked like a black cat. However, Xiao Wan felt that black was too heavy for children and had a bad impact on their growth, so he changed it to an orange one. As for the people on the car who looked at it, Some of the "deformed" graffiti were drawn by Zhuo Mao Mao himself. Judging from the outline of those graffiti, it can be roughly seen that they are cat-like. Xiao Wan is already very satisfied with this. After all, he is only a child. Many people like Zhuo Xiaomao Children of Cat's age may not be able to hold a pen firmly.

When Zhuo Maomao's car approached, the little kid smiled and waved to Zheng Tan.

"Brother Hei!"

Scream! Scream! Zheng Tan tugged his ears, turned his head slightly and glanced at Zhuo Mao Mao, who was sitting in the car and was wrapped up like a ball. He wanted to go over and give him a few slaps. Even if you run out in the middle of winter, you won’t be afraid of getting cold.

Xiao Wan followed next to him. Every time Zhuo Mao Mao saw the black cat, he talked a lot. Although his words were not clear now and he often couldn't understand what the child was saying, the child spoke happily. , Xiao Wan just let him. Zhuo Maomao has a strong learning ability. Xiao Wan can see that this child's IQ is higher than other children of the same age. As for how much higher, she is not sure yet.

Zheng Tan listened to the babbling of the little brat next to him for nearly half an hour. He didn't understand what the little brat wanted to express at all. The child could only speak a few words clearly. Zheng Tan's name Titles are one of them, and when the child is excited, his speech becomes slurred. However, Zheng Tan can feel that Zhuo Mao Mao's language skills are improving all the time. At least compared with last time, Zheng Tan can speak in one sentence. Hear a word or two.

When Zhuo Mao Mao finally got tired of playing, Xiao Wan took him back to rest. The wind was picking up. It was not good to stay outside for a long time in this weather. If Zhuo Maomao hadn't been clamoring to come out, Xiao Wan wouldn't have compromised.

Zhuo Mao Mao left, and Zheng Tan drove the car to the old tiled house and handed it over to Cheng Zhong and the others. After that, he decided to go out for a walk. He had planned to go there before the incident with Brother Walnut, but he never went out. Now The weather is nice, and Little Youzi and the others are on vacation, so they don’t have to pick up people at any time. Jiao’s mother is busy correcting test papers and doing statistics at school recently, so she comes back later. Dinner is usually around six o’clock, so Zheng Tan can play more Play.

Coming out of one of the side doors, Zheng Tan remembered that this side door was on the same line as the side door in the East District compound. He passed by here when he took the bus, and it was also marked on the map.

After walking some distance, Zheng Tan saw Chuhua University Affiliated Hospital, where Jiao's mother had been here when she was hospitalized.

Zheng Tan didn't plan to go through the main entrance of the hospital. He didn't like the atmosphere of the hospital very much. In my memory, there is a large courtyard behind the hospital, near the inpatient department. The scenery inside is pretty good, and there are often people walking around here.

Zheng Tan didn't plan to stay here for a long time. The hospital always made him feel depressed. Every time he came here, he would think of the time when Jiao's mother was hospitalized. He just decided to go there.

Jumping onto the courtyard wall, the courtyard wall is slightly higher than the wall Zheng Tan saw on the old street. From here, Zheng Tan's field of vision is slightly wider.

There are many evergreen tree species in the yard, which can also reduce the sentimentality of patients when they see the leaves falling.

At this time, there were not many people walking around, so Zheng Tan didn't pay much attention and just planned to walk along the wall.

"Oh, it's a black cat!" A voice sounded with disgust and panic.
