After Fang Sanye left, Zheng Tan lay on the balcony and stared downstairs. When a car came in, he craned his neck to see.
When Xiaoyouzi and the others were out of school, Zheng Tan didn't wait for the expected car, so he had no choice but to go to the attached primary school to pick up the child.
At noon, Dad Jiao had already called and told the people in the small restaurant, but he didn't come to eat. Zheng Tan guessed that Dad Jiao was still busy with the car. However, it was difficult for Associate Professor Jiao. He ran out to see the car during work hours, and the matter at hand was probably left to Yi Xin or Su Qu.
Although he didn't wait in the morning, Zheng Tan didn't go out in the afternoon, just crawled and played on a few trees in the compound for a while, then found a tree and slept on it.
It was almost five o'clock when I finally saw Dad Jiao come back, but he walked into the compound alone. Zheng Tan looked behind Dad Jiao, but didn't see the car. He looked at Papa Jiao suspiciously.
What about the car
Unfortunately, before Dad Jiao's explanation, Zheng Tan decided to listen to the corner tonight. Usually at night after the two children go to bed, Jiao's father and Jiao's mother will talk about some things.
After dinner, I watched TV with the two children until nine o'clock, and when the two children went to bed, Zheng Tan jumped out of bed to eavesdrop.
The lights in Xiaoyouzi's room were turned off, but Xiaoyouzi hadn't slept yet. Hearing Zheng Tan's movement next to him, Xiaoyouzi took out a small flashlight from under the pillow, "Hei Tan, why are you going?"
Zheng Tan flicked his tail and looked at the door lock.
Xiaoyouzi got up, stepped on his slippers and came over to open the door for Zheng Tan, moving gently, trying not to let the door lock make a sound. Opening the door a small crack was just enough to allow Zheng Tan to get out. This kind of cooperation has been done many times.
Zheng Tan came to the bedroom door and squatted down, turned his head sideways, and pressed his ears to the bedroom door, while Xiaoyouzi went back to the bed and lay down. Ten minutes later, Zheng Tan got back into bed again. good mood.
Dad Jiao did buy a car. I will pick it up tomorrow. I guess there are still some formalities to go through. In addition to the car thing, Jiao's father and Jiao's mother mainly talked about the 11th holiday. Jiao's father and sister's children received invitations early for their 10th birthday party. When the time comes, the couple will take their children there and drive their own new cars. By the way, Zheng Tan was also brought along.
In their place, the child's tenth birthday banquet is also a big event, and parents pay more attention to it. Since it is a holiday, Jiao's father and Jiao's mother will definitely not refuse, and just go back to their hometown to have a look.
Aside from the car thing, the rest were about the bad things between relatives. Zheng Tan was not interested in listening to it. After hearing the news he wanted, he came back happily.
However, because of this, Zheng Tan missed the more critical point that Jiao's father and Jiao's mother talked about, at least for Zheng Tan.
If many people want to travel far, they will keep their pets at the pet center. The eleven national holidays are only a few days in total, so it is actually fine to stay there. Everyone does this.
But Zheng Tan is special, and Jiao's mother is reluctant to let Zheng Tan be locked in the pet center alone, and she is worried about letting Xiao Guo and the others help raise her. What if she disappears? So bring it by yourself, anyway, your cat is obedient.
However, another thing is troublesome.
Jiao's father and sister live in the urban area of the county town of their hometown. They have a private room on three floors. The space is relatively large. It is estimated that there will be more guests invited. Although they are entertaining in the hotel, in addition to the time for the banquet, some relatives and friends also will rest at home. There are many people and many children.
The ignorant and destructive bear children are the nemesis of pets. So Jiao's mother is a little worried that there will be some conflict at that time. Although her cat hasn't scratched people very much, what if a bear child provokes her cat and gets scratched? Quarrel
"It's okay, they have a pet dog and a cat at home. They get along well with the children. Besides, there are adults watching. Our cats are also smart and won't cause conflicts." Jiao Dad said .
"I'm still worried."
"When the time comes, let the black charcoal follow the little grapefruit, and I will just say hello to the people over there."
…
The next day, Jiao Dad finally drove the car back before dinner.
The silver-grey, very ordinary family car is not as majestic as Yuan Zhiyi's car, and it is far less than the four circles of the third master above, but Zheng Tan and the two children are very happy.
No matter how high-end the car is, it belongs to someone else, just like no matter how magnificent the palace is, it is not your own home, it doesn't feel that way.
Yuan Zhiyi, who is the boss, must be equipped with a better car to support his face, and Fang Sanye is even more so. The four circles are already relatively low-key among the cars he owns. However, for the Jiao family, such a relatively ordinary family car is enough.
Zheng Tan knew that although Dad Jiao had more money now, he didn't have much to spend. The reason why I am busy buying a car is that it is more convenient to drive my own car when I go back to my hometown, and I want to let Jiao Ma get acquainted with it quickly. If he goes abroad, Jiao Ma can also use it here and wherever he goes. There is no need to ride a small electric car. It is dangerous to bring two children and a cat. If you drive, you can save a lot of trouble, and it is also convenient in rainy days.
If Zheng Tan had been asked to comment on this car, he probably wouldn't look down on it, but now Zheng Tan is very happy. After jumping in from the window, he started to look left and right, thinking that the smell of the newly bought car was not right, too. strangeness. Suddenly I remembered what Ah Huang and the sheriff did when they encircled the turf. It must be impossible to mark them with urine. In that case, Zheng Tan would not even think about getting in the car in the future.
In addition to urine marks, there are also rubbing smells. Cats have odor-secreting glands near their whiskers and ears, which spread their scent to surrounding objects by rubbing against them.
So, Zheng Tan learned from Ah Huang and they rubbed on the seat and other places, and then sniffed, it seemed that the effect was not obvious, and then rubbed, and then rubbed...
People will feel more at ease in a familiar odor environment. Even if there are always smelly socks or a bucket of unwashed clothes in the room, as long as they can bear it and get used to it, it will be fine. If the room is smelly, he will be restrained for a while.
I don't know the smell after hearing it for a long time. Physiologically speaking, it belongs to "olfactory adaptation". But on the other hand, it actually illustrates a philosophical problem of "my territory and my stink".
Therefore, Zheng Tan was very devoted and felt at ease.
Papa Jiao watched his cat rubbing around in it, and after thinking about it, he was still left to him. It is estimated that apart from their home, no one will let pets rub against the newly bought car.
There are no other decorations in the car, which is relatively monotonous. When I bought a car, I gave a pendant that was said to have been opened. Jiao Dad always felt that it was an eyesore, so he took it down. When he went back to his hometown, he would find the old woman to fix it. Jiao Dad didn't believe this kind of thing sent from outside.
However, after Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi returned, the car changed. Jiao's mother also embroidered a "safe" cross-stitch pendant, and Xiaoyouzi and Jiao Yuan also put a few little dolls in the car, and she looked a little more angry.
After Zheng Tan finished rubbing the car, he felt that it was almost done, and he rolled on the seat again before coming out.
It is precisely because of the car that Zheng Tan is looking forward to traveling on November 1st, no matter where he goes, this is also a new experience.
Since there will be a lot of people traveling on the first day of the November holiday, Jiao Dad decided to set off on September 30. Since preparations were started a few days in advance, there was no sense of haste when leaving. After the two children finished school and Jiao's mother and Jiao's father both came back, they ate dinner and set off at seven o'clock.
Their destination this time is Changyang, where their hometown is. From Chuhua City to Changyang, it takes about two hours to drive on the highway. I have already told the two old people there that Mr. Jiao came from the village to the house in the town yesterday to clean up. Although there is a house in the town, the two elders of the Jiao family always like to stay in the village. Only occasionally live in the town for a while, walking around with some relatives who have moved to the town.
It was after nine o'clock that they arrived at the residence, and the two old men were already waiting at the door, turning on the lights outside.
Mr. Jiao was quite happy to come over to say hello to his grandson whom he hadn't seen for a long time, but the first one to come out was a black cat.
"Why did you bring it here?!"
Old Master Jiao stared at Zheng Tan.
