Seeing Wei Xiaopang scratching the cat's tail, Ermao smiled and said, "If this were another cat, it would have gotten its paws up earlier, Senior Brother Wei, you have to pay more attention, my wife's relative's children are like this, they are three years old. , I don't listen to what I say, and parents don't always stare. Once the child ran to scratch his cat's tail again, and was scratched by the cat. You know, children don't know the severity, the cat's reflex There was blood on his paw at that time, if the child was not wearing a lot of clothes, let alone his hands, there would be scratches on his arms."
Er Mao said it was a good thing to say, this kind of thing happens a lot, it's lucky to scratch your hands and arms, but it would be hard to do if you scratch your face and scratch your eyes.
Wei Ling nodded, this is really something to pay attention to. I have heard a lot of it before, but the cats he is familiar with are all fine, and there has never been such a problem, so I ignored some of them. Now imagine, it really takes a lot of thought. , I can't let my son develop this habit. He has to know what can and cannot be done. After all, not every cat is a "black brother", and they will not tolerate it.
Thinking of something, Er Mao smiled proudly again: "But my two daughters get along well."
The "two daughters" in Ermao's mouth refers to his cat Heimi and his daughter Eryuan, and he took out his mobile phone and showed Wei Ling a photo taken by the "two daughters" together. It looks really harmonious.
Zheng Tan decided to stay away from this guy until he turned eight. The anniversary banquet will not be approaching.
After dinner at Wei Ling's house in the evening, Ermao first sent Zheng Tan back to the compound. On the way, he also said that he would put a fake cat tail when Wei Xiaopang's birthday banquet catches Zhou. Thinking about the scene, Ermao Can't help but be happy. But he just said that many children's birthday banquets will not handle this, but since Wei Ling is going to do it, Ermao will not make trouble. The edge is also pitted in reverse.
Zheng Tan listened to Ermao's complaint and looked inside the car. Compared with when he went, there were a few less gifts in Ermao's car, and there was an extra box. Wearing two braids similar to the red rope given to Wei Ling.
Er Mao did these things to give away
"Black coal, don't ruin the red rope. This thing costs fifty yuan a piece. I took the last few pieces today and will send them out at that time." Er Mao said.
fifty dollars? !
That old woman is so cruel!
Zheng Tan stared hard at the braided red ropes, but he didn't even string a stone on it. Why is it so expensive
Listening to Er Mao's words, there are quite a lot of people buying it
She is really an old woman who can fool people. No wonder she lived a good life in a small village without farming or ploughing before she was found by Er Mao.
Fifty dollars is not a lot. For many people, it is a small amount of money, but when you think about the red rope that looks like a big roll for a few dollars on the ground, and then think about the woven product that costs dozens of times. , Zheng Tan couldn't help slandering the old woman.
However, while slandering, Zheng Tan also thought, do you want to buy one too
Xiaoyouzi is twelve years old this year, because many people in the same grade are one or two years older than her, and the children don't pay much attention to the term Benming Year, and no child in the courtyard has heard about the Benming Year. Generally speaking, this is an adult, so, apart from Jiao's mother buying some red clothes for Xiaoyouzi, Zheng Tan did not see anything deliberately aimed at the saying of Benming Year. After all, among young people, Although there are many people who pay attention to this, they are not too many. Jiao Yuan didn't pay attention to this aspect at the beginning, and Zheng Tan only heard Jiao's mother mention it.
When Zheng Tan got home, he looked through the drawer where he put the money. Most of the money he saved years ago was sent out in red envelopes. After the year, he worked overtime a few times and made some more money. Xiao Guo is also generous now. Not a few times, basically a hundred.
After checking the money to make sure that the money was enough, Zheng Tan decided to go to the old woman's house to check if there were many people like Er Mao said. People have such a kind of mentality, join in the fun, everyone buys, and we also buy.
After a good morning, Zheng Tan ran to the villa by the lake and lay down on a tree near where the old woman lived.
Although the old woman always sits in a wheelchair and doesn't see her anywhere on weekdays, there are quite a lot of people who go to the old woman to talk, most of them are middle-aged women or elderly people. With Zheng Tan's hearing, he can hear Go over there, the old woman flickers the voice of the people.
Not to mention, the old woman did look like an expert when she fooled people, and the fooling made those people stunned for a while - at least in Zheng Tan's view, the old woman was fooling people.
When fooling people, the old woman was not idle, holding red rope and weaving things. Although he is old now and his hands are shaking a little, it is not slow to make up. Zheng Tan is far away, so he can't see it clearly, but when the old woman finishes chatting with people, her hands are finished, and the finished product is put aside. Continue editing. And most of the people who came to chat would pay for one or two.
Zheng Tan decided to stay there in the afternoon to see how many people the old woman could fool. As for the lunch at noon, Zheng Tan thought about it, but he still didn't go back to eat it. He ran around to make trouble. Aunt's cooking is not bad.
Zheng Tan was planning to go to Feng Baijin's house for a meal when he saw two ten-year-old children running towards the old woman's house as if they were thieves, afraid of being seen by others.
This should be a primary school student returning home from school at noon. There is an elementary school nearby. Many children in this community and some nearby communities go to school there. I heard that the quality of teaching is not bad, so some of the corresponding costs are naturally more expensive, although it is an obligation. Education, but there are also many other expenses.
Both children were holding bowls in their hands, which were the bowls they took to school for breakfast, and then took back to wash at noon.
The little girl was dressed like a child in this villa area, while the little boy was a little more shabby, probably from a nearby community.
Seeing the behavior of the two children, Zheng Tan was not in a hurry to get off the tree to eat, and continued to squat here to see what the two children were going to do.
Generally, the old woman who went to the old woman was not looking to talk about the face, the eight characters, the five elements, Feng Shui, etc., or she went to buy a red rope because of her name. These two children should not be the former, as for the latter... These two children will not go to the pit, right? Fifty dollars a piece!
At this time, no one was there to chat with the old woman. Everyone had to go back to prepare lunch. The old woman was taken care of here, so she didn't have to do it herself. She was still weaving red ropes in the yard. The three-legged cat lay beside him, guarding the finished products.
"Grandma Yang!" the little girl shouted politely from the gate of the courtyard.
Zheng Tan heard Ermao say that this old woman's ancestor seems to have the surname Ouyang, but she doesn't know when she became "Yang". I didn't listen to it much, but in retrospect, the jade plaque had the word "Ouyang" on it, and Zheng Tan only recognized the word "Yang" at that time.
"Yo, little Nini." The old woman looked at the little girl standing at the door with a smile, her face wrinkled and her eyes narrowed.
"Grandma Yang, I brought my classmates over to buy a bracelet, no, buy..." The little girl couldn't tell what it was, and pulled the little boy who was one step behind, "Tell me."
The little boy was a little embarrassed and nervous, but following the seemingly random questions of the old woman, the little boy relaxed and answered them one by one.
Zheng Tan listened to their words and realized that this little boy didn't buy this for people, but for cats. No one in his family is born this year, but the old cat in the family is already twelve years old, older than the little boy.
The old woman didn't have any surprised expression. She was still smiling and kind to the children. She listened to the little boy talking about the cat at home.
"Grandma Yang, look, can you buy one for it?" After speaking, the little boy asked with a blushing face.
In the eyes of many people, his behavior is a prodigal, doing useless work and looking for a hole without a lot of foolishness. Can cats be like humans
According to the age of cats and people, many people say that a seven- or eight-year-old cat is equivalent to fifty years of human beings. Like his twelve-year-old cat, it is equivalent to the sixtieth year of human beings. A real old cat.
"Of course." The old woman handed over the things she had prepared in her hand.
The little girl came over and looked at it, "Hey, it's not the same as what I saw last time." To make sure, she looked at the bracelets braided in the box next to them. This one was indeed different from the others.
The old woman just smiled and didn't answer.
The little boy carefully put the red knitted fabric in his hand into his pocket, and then took out a plastic box filled with sugar from the bowl bag. Inside was some change, not two for five or ten, but one for fifty cents. Quite a few, and some dime coins.
After counting the money with a blushing face, the little boy said embarrassedly, "Grandma Yang, you... don't mind this, right?"
"It's okay, just leave it here." The old woman said indifferently.
When leaving, the little boy looked back at the old woman, "Grandma Yang, I heard that the Benming year is a hurdle, will it pass this hurdle?"
"Do you want it to pass this hurdle?" asked the old woman.
"Of course! I heard that there is a cat in the north of the city that lives well into his twenties!" the little boy said excitedly.
"That's it."
The little boy was a little confused, but he smiled again and waved to the old woman, "We're leaving, thank you, Grandma Yang!"
The two children left the old woman's yard, whispering as they walked, Zheng Tan decided to follow him out of curiosity to see what the old cat looked like.
"I'll pay you back the twenty dollars as soon as I have the money," said the little boy. This matter was done in a hurry. The pocket money I had saved for so long was only 30, and it was not enough to collect 50.
"Don't worry about this, you don't have much pocket money. Besides, I don't lack it either." Most of the children living in this villa area have good family conditions. More generous parents will give more, and many play games. of primary school students are at the "trench" level.
"Next week... I should be able to pay it back next week." The little boy affirmed. He thought of a way.
"Don't talk about that, is your cat okay now?" the little girl asked.
"It's good. I heard from others that cats will lose their teeth when they get old, but I opened them yesterday and took a look. My cat didn't lose a single tooth and has a good appetite."
"But when I saw it last week, it didn't look very energetic, and it didn't jump when I teased it with a wool rope, so lazy."
"...it's not lazy, it just can't jump."
