Zheng Tan lay on the sofa with bamboo mats in the room, yawned, turned over, and looked at the calendar hanging on the wall in the living room.
It's July today, Xiaoyouzi and Jiao Yuan are busy with their final exams recently, and the summer vacation is coming soon. In order to have a better summer vacation, they all worked hard to get good grades in the exam.
As for the college entrance examination, it has long since ended. Zheng Tan passed by the construction site when he was out for a walk two weeks ago, and saw Zhong Yan. The guy seemed in a good mood and should have done well in the test. Perhaps, this is also the test for this guy in the past few years Get the most refreshing time, don't hide your clumsiness, don't worry about other things, just do your best to test.
At the end of June, the college entrance examination scores were out. I don't know how that guy's grades were. Recently, Zheng Tan hasn't traveled far, and he basically wandered around the school.
Several households in the building knew that Ermao's Heimi was going to give birth to a cat. However, cats are not better than dogs, and they are more careful about people. We don't go there often, but occasionally buy something for Heimi to eat. Buy something to send over.
Zheng Tan has only been there once recently, and he went with Jiao's mother. Heimi's condition is good, but Ermao is not good. She looks neurotic and has dark circles under her eyes. I don't know why he is anxious. If his daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby, would he be anxious for ten months in a row
Wei Ling and Qin Tao have been here a few times, but they didn't enter the house. Ermao wouldn't let them in. If they came, they would go outside to find a place to eat and talk, so as not to let them affect Heimi.
Zheng Tan was thinking about when Heimi would be able to give birth to a kitten when his ears moved and he looked towards the door.
"Black coal, go out to eat!"
It was Ermao who knocked on the door. Although Wei Ling didn’t go to Ermao’s place when he came over during this time, he would call Ermao and Zheng Tan to chat at the woods not far from the East District compound. For food, there are stone tables and benches on the other side of the woods, except that there is a lot of bird droppings, it is quite comfortable to sit there.
Zheng Tan and Er Mao came out of the building, and Lou Qianwei Ling was already waiting there, just like the previous few times, carrying a bag in his hand with some food and cold beer in it.
Came to the woods, wiped the bird droppings on the stone bench, and sat down together.
Wei Ling placed a disposable paper bowl, put cold dishes on it, and a sliced duck bought in a shop at the school gate. This girl is finally engaged, and she plans to have a wedding in October this year.
"It's fixed? Then I will prepare a big gift when I have time. Oh, by the way, I will buy a pair of mandarin duck decorations for you." Er Mao said.
"Don't, don't send the mandarin ducks. Some time ago, I saw reports that the mandarin ducks were exchanging spouses. It's not as beautiful as people say." Wei Ling replied.
"Then I'll give you two little figurines directly."
"It's not bad. Hey, by the way, hasn't your black rice been born yet?" Wei Ling asked, looking at Er Mao's sleep-deprived appearance.
"I've been annoyed recently, didn't it say that it was born in two months? It's been two months, and there's still no movement. I called the veterinarian at the veterinary hospital, and he said that some cats will meet a little later. , it often happens that it takes more than a week to give birth, the cat of a cat friend over there a few days ago was born sixty-five days ago."
Wei Ling pouted, he still felt that Er Mao was too nervous, isn't it just a cat, so what
"Don't be happy in your heart, when your daughter-in-law has a baby, you may not be better than me." Er Mao said.
"That's my daughter-in-law. Of course I'm nervous. Is your daughter-in-law there? Look at your virtue. If you let other people know about it, you will be shocked. I didn't know you like cats so much before." After a pause, Wei Ling added: "They've all become cat slaves."
Er Mao snorted twice, didn't explain, just ate and drank in a muffled voice.
Zheng Tan squatted and ate while listening to the two chatting. When it comes to the issue of kittens born in the future, what will happen to the kittens when they grow up? Send away or stay? Ermao hasn't thought about it yet, but it will never be sold, nor will it be given to the people at the pet center. I will take a look at it later, "If the kittens grow up and Heimi wants to drive them out of the house, let's talk about it. If If you don't rush, I will keep them all."
"Hey, just keep three cats in your small place? It's not too much trouble." Wei Ling didn't think it was a good idea, and not every cat was the same as the black cat in front of him. By then, the three cats would be annoying enough to quarrel.
After eating and drinking, the sun was still hot in the afternoon. Wei Ling went back to the company. He had something to do around here today, so he stopped by to have a look and chat.
Knowing that the birth period of black rice is approaching, the Jiao family is most anxious about Jiao's mother, who has to ask about the condition of black rice every day. Zheng Tan also listened to the movement on the third floor when he was at home. If it was the same as usual, then it was estimated that he had not given birth yet.
Day by day, Er Mao's nervousness increased, and every once in a while, he went to the study to have a look. He didn't bother to surf the Internet. He called the veterinarian several times a day and asked a veterinarian to check the situation, but the veterinarian stopped by. Black rice bared his teeth at the door, and Er Mao immediately pushed them out of the house. However, the veterinarian is also very talented. Although he has not observed the black rice for a long time, he can see that it is not a big deal. It will be a few days later, and the cat will be healthy.
After a few days, Er Mao woke up in the morning to urinate, but he was still awake. Last night, he watched a horror movie as a distraction and watched too late. He couldn't get up this morning, and was still woken up by the urine.
After walking to the toilet, he walked to the study habitually. After urinating every morning, he would definitely take a look at the study, otherwise Er Mao would not be able to fall asleep again even if he continued to lie on the bed.
However, at this sight, Er Mao's half-open eyes widened because he was not sober.
Through the dim light that penetrated through the curtains, Ermao saw the small lump in the cat's nest that was different from the color of the cat's nest and the color of black rice.
What the hell!
Er Mao was completely awake.
Carefully approaching the cat's den, just after taking a step, Ermao exited again with light feet, ran back to the room, took out the pair of gloves he had prepared earlier, and came to the study again.
Heimi was probably tired, so he lay there and slept. When he noticed Er Mao's approach, his ears moved, his eyes opened a slit, looked at Er Mao, and went back to sleep. He was not alert to his owner like some cats. This made Er Mao very pleased. She is indeed her own "daughter".
Er Mao tentatively stretched out his hand to touch the kitten. Seeing that Heimi had no other reaction, he boldly picked up the kitten and took a look at it. There were no arms or legs missing, and he looked healthy. The two soft, fluffy ears didn't stand up either. I heard it would take three weeks to stand up. I didn't open my eyes, I had to wait a week. This is a three-colored cat. The black and yellow fur on the back covers a larger area, and the abdomen is more white.
Ermao doesn't look at male and female, let alone this kind of kitten. However, I heard that this kind of Sanhua is basically a female cat. Well, Heimi has a daughter. After carefully observing such a small mass on the palm of his hand, Er Mao remembered that there should be another, and gently put the kitten down.
He has read in the book that if the kitten smells human, the big cat will not feed it if it feels unfamiliar, and may even bite the kitten to death, so Ermao prepared gloves in advance, one is to prevent the kitten Leaving his own odor on his body, the other is that he is afraid that the germs on his body will be passed on to the cat. After all, he usually does not pay much attention to personal hygiene, so Ermao thinks it is better to pay attention. When putting it down, Er Mao also gently rubbed the kitten on Heimi, even if there is a smell left, it is enough to get the smell of the mother cat.
Putting down the three-colored kitten, Er Mao looked at the nest. He didn't notice it just now, but now he realizes that the color of the second kitten's coat is similar to that of Heimi. Just a little difference.
Ermao gently picked up the kitten, this one is also very healthy, but...
Looking at the face of the kitten in front of him, Er Mao's mood suddenly changed.
This black-and-white kitten has a black "mole" around its mouth, and Peanuts also has a yellow "mole" around its mouth. In the same place, the only difference is the color, but Ermao looked at the cub. Will think of the bastard's daddy.
Although he wasn't very happy to see the mole on the kitten's mouth, Er Mao carefully put the kitten back to Heimi's side, stroked Heimi for a while, and prepared to leave.
When I got up, I remembered that I was not there when I served black rice last night. I don't know which one was born first, so which one is the rice
After looking at it, Er Mao felt that both of them were about the same size, so they could not be judged by their size.
Thinking of the "mole" on the mouth of the black-and-white cat, Er Mao decided that this was millet, and Sanhua's was rice. After making a decision in his heart, Er Mao looked at the black and white kitten who was nursing and thought, "Why do you have an extra mole?" It's good not to have moles, but it's not good to learn from your father to grow "mole".
After exiting the study, Er Mao was still excited, and looked back at the study. He heard that kittens are more afraid of light when they were born. The curtains in the study were drawn, so it should be fine.
On the same day, Zheng Tan heard Ermao's movements that were different from usual. At this time, Ermao was still sleeping in the cage. He was not as "hardworking" as he was today. He guessed that the cat was born, but he followed Ma Jiao the next day. Let's go downstairs together.
Jiao's mother didn't go into the study, she just looked at the door. Heimi was still very wary of people other than Er Mao, and even Zheng Tan didn't even want to get close to the cat's den. In a short period of time, Heimi would not let the two kittens out of his sight, and basically only moved around the cat's den. Ermao moved the cat bowl to the study to save Heimi from walking around, at most pooping or stretching for a walk. Mi will leave for a short time, and will not go too far.
When he saw the mole on the mouth of the black-and-white cat, Zheng Tan was overjoyed, the mole looks so accurate! Just like its father.
Xiaoyouzi and Jiao Yuan also wanted to come and see the kitten, but Jiao's mother said to wait a while, so don't bother now.
It had been a week when Zheng Tan followed Jiao's mother to see it again. The two kittens looked much stronger than when they were born, and their hair was much thicker. Their eyes were opened a little, but not fully.
Zheng Tan noticed that the eyes of the two kittens were both gray-blue. After listening to Jiao's mother and Er Mao's chat, he learned that the kittens were like this when they first opened, and only began to change color about three weeks after they were born. is the eye color in the future.
