Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 135: The local accent has not changed and the hair on the temples has faded

After Liu Yao was tired from running, he sat next to him to rest, and naturally someone came to bring water to wipe his sweat.

Looking at his son, who was no longer so gloomy and full of energy, Lao Liu smiled so much that his mouth almost reached his ears.

In business, it is not an easy thing to let Liu Song speak. Qianglong does not overwhelm the locals. The third master Fang chose a non-violent method this time. Even a businessman has to talk about personal debts. The conversation between Mr. Fang and Lao Liu went a lot better. Zheng Tan can also be considered to have successfully completed the task. There is no need to do too much understanding. Know that the purpose has been achieved.

Zheng Tan looked around the car again. The car's logo was a cat's head, a black cat's head, and a cat's tail was drawn behind the car's butt. Now, with Zheng Tan's cat, it was a veritable cat car. .

Even if this car is not as cool as imagined, it is not as exciting as a real car, at best it can only be regarded as a special toy car, Zheng Tan can't even drive it on the street outside, but this can be regarded as a kind of special toy car. His dream came true. Zheng Tan is very grateful that Fang Sanye has this heart. After playing, he thinks of the task he came here for, and he has to continue to play with Liu Yao this child in the next time. Fortunately, this is simple, so there is no need to worry about it.

In the afternoon, when Mr. Fang took Zheng Tan to say goodbye, Liu Yao still seemed very reluctant. Old Liu wanted to ask Mr. Fang to offer a price to transfer the cat to him several times, but Mr. Fang's words also showed refusal. Meaning, so Lao Liu wondered when he would buy a cat back, but it had to be a cat that could get along well with Mantou and make his son happy. It was not easy.

Zheng Tan didn't care what Lao Liu was thinking. Now he was thinking about where the cat car would be if the third master Fang really sent the car? And it is also very laborious to lift it up and down, this cat car is not very light.

But without waiting for Zheng Tan to think clearly, when he returned to Chuhua University, Tong Qing drove his car and did not directly enter the East District compound, but went around to the building of the Faculty of Engineering. Tong Qing carried the car, Fang Shaokang took Zheng Tan to find Cheng Zhong. Only then did Zheng Tan know that his cat car was built by this "Senior Brother Cheng". That's fine, it's easy to find someone to solve the problem when the car happens.

The car still needs to be revised and perfected. Today is just a test of the effect. Zheng Tan can't get the car for the time being. In a few days, the Jiao family will go back to their hometown. If they want to get the car, it is estimated that it will be a few years later. After all, it will be New Year's Day in a few days.

Anyway, even if I got the car, I couldn't drive it, so I couldn't be too ostentatious. After thinking about it, Zheng Tan calmed down.

In the next few days, Zheng Tan went around when he had nothing to do, and went to the construction site again to find someone in the area where Zhong Yan was located. This time, let alone the other workers in the area, even Brother Ning treated Zheng Tan. The attitude is also very good, and there is no objection to Zhong Yan feeding the cat with water from the water dispenser.

The people on the construction site are busy and gossip. Since the last time, some people have often mentioned Zheng Tan. Some people say that it is the cat of the boss's family. There are different opinions, but to sum up, this cat can't be messed with. A cat can be worth much more than a person these days. It doesn't matter what breed the cat is, you have to rely on the backer to fight the cat.

And Zhong Yan has also gained a firm foothold here. I heard that he was approached by the boss to talk, and he even increased his salary. Although the salary of a temporary worker is still not as good as that of other regular employees, it is still much better than before. . No one on the construction site came to ask Zhong Yan for trouble, and there were even people who took the initiative to approach him, just trying to find out about the "secret", but unfortunately they didn't find out anything. Even Zhong Yan himself couldn't figure out what "strong background" the black cat had.

Zheng Tan is the only cat on this construction site that blatantly wandered around the construction site. At first, many people were still skeptical and opposed. The construction site is not a back garden, and it is easy to get into trouble. They looked at the cat like a ticking time bomb, but later they found that their worries were unnecessary, and they saw Zheng Tan again. At the time, the people in charge acted like they didn't see it, and there was an explanation on it, as long as the cat didn't cause trouble, let it go.

Mr. Jiao has been calling since he was a child, but unfortunately Dad Jiao has something to do, so he will stay for a few more days.

Last time Zheng Tan followed Dad Jiao and the others back to the town house in their hometown, this time they went directly to the old house in the village. Mr. Jiao said that several rooms on the other side of the old house have been tidied up long ago, and they can live there directly when they go back. Mr. Jiao also specially emphasized that the cat litter has also been tidy up, so there is no need to worry about the cat having no place to sleep.

On the early morning of the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Jiao's family took a packed salute and drove out of the school gate. Jiao Wei's family went home that day when he was young. The business has been good for the past six months. Jiao Wei's parents plan to buy a house nearby in the past two years. After returning to Jiao's father's hometown, I can still see them.

Before leaving the school gate, I encountered a red light at the intersection. On the wide road, three cars parked side by side at the zebra crossing. The cars that stopped on the left and right had just driven out of Chuhua University, and Zheng Tan didn't know the people inside, so Dad Jiao said a few words to them.

Because the windows of the driver's seats of the three cars side by side were all open, Zheng Tan could hear the conversations in the cars on both sides. The person in the car on the left is talking about space-time curvature and Hubble redshift, and the person in the car on the right is talking about the flow mosaic model of the cell membrane and the theory of the endosymbiotic origin of the mitochondrial chloroplast.

Zheng Tan shook his ears, forget it, let's watch Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi play chess.

There are some traffic jams in the urban area, so getting on the expressway is much better. Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi are more comfortable playing chess.

Xiaoyouzi is a novice. Not long after he started playing chess, Jiao Yuan suggested that he felt bored in the car. In order to show fairness, Jiao Yuan gave Xiaoyouzi one of each "che", "horse" and "cannon". Jiao Ma sat in the passenger seat, looking back from time to time, guiding Xiaoyouzi to play chess.

Zheng Tan had never played chess before, so he was a novice at the same time as Xiaoyouzi. When you are tired, look at the road signs next to the highway and calculate how long it will take to reach your destination.

"The heavy artillery general has no children." Xiaoyouzi said calmly.

Zheng Tan's gaze shifted from the street sign outside the car to the chess game on the seat. After seeing it, he couldn't help but laugh. It didn't take long before Jiao Yuan was killed by a heavy cannon from Xiaoyouzi.

Jiao Yuan was stunned and still couldn't believe it. It seemed that it was not long before the game started, so... he was checkmate? Or heavy artillery to checkmate.

Immediately, Jiao Yuan felt very shameless, scratching his head, watching Jiao's mother laugh, and briefly told Jiao's father about the game of chess.

"Many veterans are easily killed by heavy artillery when they are fighting with newbies. Back then, your father and I were too. I was dragged by an elder in the village to play chess with me, and I also had one chariot, horse and cannon. This is the first time I have played against such an old man. My subordinates were a little excited and nervous, but it didn't take long for a heavy cannon to checkmate the elder, and I can still be happy for a long time in retrospect."

Jiao Dad talked about the experience of the year, he still remembered the elder's face flushed red when he was killed by heavy artillery not long after the start, who made the elder underestimate the enemy, "But he won only once. , and then I never won chess against him. For so many years, every time I went back and was pulled to play chess, I never won, but now the old man stopped letting the chariots and horses cannons, and only let two of the chariots, horses and cannons. It's my progress."

Jiao Yuan set up the chess again, and played another game, and at the beginning of the game, a handsome five-in-one came. As Dad Jiao said, the first time was caused by underestimating the enemy, but Jiao Yuan was cautious a few times later, Xiaoyouzi was still a novice, and the situation of the battle was predictable.

Looking at the road sign next to the expressway, it showed that when the arrival of Fangyang was approaching, Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi were also tired from playing chess, so they put away their chess and looked at the scenery outside.

After two minutes, the car stopped.

There was an accident ahead, and a long line of cars was stuck here.

I can't walk for a while, some people with motion sickness have gotten out of the car and vomited while running, and some people got off the car and walked over to the place where the incident happened, wanting to see the specific situation and asking how long it will take to get there dredge.

Jiao's dad also got out of the car and walked forward to ask about the situation. Jiao Yuan's little grapefruit was also idle in the car and went out to walk around. Zheng Tan followed to get out of the car to get some air.

There was a BMW parked behind Jiao's car. An old man got out of the car and stood on the side of the highway with his hands behind his back, looking at the endless fields in a trance.

Another man in his thirties walked out of the BMW car. He walked quickly to the old man's side and persuaded him a few words. Then he came back helplessly. He met Jiao Dad who came over and asked about the situation in front of him.

"... The driver is fine, the truck overturned, and the fruit in it was scattered everywhere. The traffic police are dredging it. It is estimated that it will take ten minutes." Jiao Dad told the news he had inquired.

Zheng Tan listened to the conversation between Jiao's father and the man. He didn't expect that the BMW man was also from Fangyang. The two talked in dialect, and Zheng Tan could understand a little bit now.

"It's been more than ten years, and it is estimated that many people don't remember me. When the old man was taken over a few years ago, he said to me, 'When you become famous, you can go home and take a look?' The old man always felt that the root Here, no matter how big the city is, how spacious the house is, how good the quality of life is, I always miss it and always want to come back to see it. Unfortunately, the old man's health is not very good. Dare to bring him back to the old man's house. He has been better in recent years, so he has this opportunity... Hey, I haven't built this expressway yet. It's always troublesome to go out. It's a bumpy stone road, and the car makes people feel sick ."

When the young and the young leave their hometown, the boss returns, but the local accent has not changed, and the hair on the temples is weak. Perhaps this can better describe the mood of this BMW man at the moment.

This person is also one of the people who seized the opportunity to make a fortune in the turbulent era, and, regardless of whether these people are engaged in culture or business abroad, they have to do a good job in the face project when they return to their hometown. Can't tell. Look at this BMW will know.

In Jiao's hometown, especially in the old house, it is estimated that many people's impression of famous cars is only BMW, three-pointed star and four circles. In the eyes of many people, there is not much difference between driving a Maybach and driving a Santara. To reflect the style of returning home, you have to be direct and consider the residents of your hometown.

However, Jiao's dad doesn't care about returning home, anyway, except last year, he used to go back to his hometown for Chinese New Year, and he would come back once or twice a year. Relatively speaking, he was familiar with people and didn't have those rules. But other people are different, there are many people who have not returned to their hometown for several years.
