Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 38: This is not called questioning, it is called questioning

Views:

Early in the morning, Zheng Tan was sleeping well under the little grapefruit quilt. Jiao Yuan ran over to knock on the door and woke the cat and the cat who were sleeping late in bed.

The final exam of the attached primary school has passed, and all he has to do is wait for the results. Jiao Yuan feels pretty good about himself after the exam, so his mood has been kept in a state of excitement, and he often discusses with his friends what to buy at that time. Clothes for New Years.

In the two days after the final exam, the two children slept until they woke up naturally. Last night, in order to watch the movie channel's "Slam Dunk", the two children went to bed at 0:00, but now it is only 7:00. They used to be Waking up at seven o'clock, but after taking the exam, he would only wake up after nine o'clock, especially Jiao Yuan, who slept until noon and immediately woke up to eat lunch.

Broken child! What the hell is going on today!

After hearing Jiao Yuan's clapping and shouting, Zheng Tan raised his paws to cover his ears, and then continued to form a mass.

It was too cold in winter, and Zheng Tan didn't want to get up. Since the two children were on vacation, Zheng Tan had been running and climbing trees in the afternoon, and slept in the bed in the morning.

"Get up, get up, it's snowing outside! It's all white! Get up and play in the snow!"

Jiao Yuan was still shouting outside, Xiaoyouzi lifted the quilt to get up, and when he got up, he didn't forget to cover Zheng Tan again.

Zheng Tan yawned, it was boring to sleep alone.

Forget it, get up!

Zheng Tan grew up in a southern coastal city, where there was basically no snow in winter, but in order to see the snow in middle school, he and a few friends drove to other provinces and cities to see the snow scene without a license. In any case, Zheng Tan has not experienced snow for many days, and he has never seen snow since he came here.

This is the first snow of the year.

Getting out of the quilt, Zheng Tan shook his hair and stretched out of bed.

Jiao Yuan was already dressed and was washing in the bathroom with an excited look on his face.

When the phone rang, Jiao Yuan threw the towel on the shelf before he had time to wring it out, and hurried to answer the phone, he already had a hunch who would call at this time.

The sound of Jiao Yuan laughing loudly came from the bedroom, and Zheng Tan heard that it should be his little friend who asked him to go out to play.

After Zheng Tan finished urinating, he asked Xiaoyouzi to help wipe his face, brush his hair, and eat the breakfast prepared by Jiao's mother. The two children went downstairs, and Zheng Tan followed behind them.

It was really cold outside, Zheng Tan jumped on the spot a few times when he went downstairs to the corner.

Qu Xiangyang, who was about to go downstairs to take pictures of the snow scene with a camera, saw the black cat at the corner of the stairs beating like a lunatic. destroy.

When Zheng Tan walked out of the building, on the basketball court next to the lawn in the family area, Jiao Yuan was building a snowman with Xiaoyouzi and other children who came out to play in the courtyard. Jiao Yuan still had snow sticking to his body. A few of them threw snowballs.

Xiaohua, the St. Bernard dog, was pulled to play with the children. It has thick fur and won't get cold when rolling in the snow. She ran around with several children in the compound, stepping on dog footprints one by one. As for Niu Zhuangzhuang, he is being led by his owner for a walk in the snow. He is not so free. From time to time, he stops to lick the snow on the ground with his tongue, and then calls out to the basketball court enviously. The steamed bun flickered away, and Pi Dian Dian continued to walk.

There was a group of children playing in the snow over there, Zheng Tan would definitely not come up, and looked around, the fat man was squatting on the balcony railing to look outside, not intending to come out. Ah Huang came out and slipped around for a while, then shrank to the corner.

I heard that the habits of animals will be related to the month of birth, just like some dogs born in hot weather like to play with water, while some dogs born in cold weather always avoid water beaches. However, it now appears that such a statement is not entirely correct.

Ah Huang and the sheriff were born in the same month, but their habits are far different. Except for the common neuroticism sometimes, they are quite different. Just like now, Ah Huang is hiding in the corner of the building to avoid the wind, while the sheriff is running around on the snow. There is a child in the compound who removes the plush hat from his clothes to play with him, and the sheriff also plays with it. Come on, the only cat footprint in the snow over there is his.

After a while, Ah Huang came out from the corner of the building and walked shyly to the basketball court, where Xiaohua was lying on her stomach, gasping for breath, her big tongue sticking out, and she exhaled blobs of white air. After Ah Huang passed by, he squatted directly next to Xiao Hua, on the leeward side, which could not only shelter from the wind but also keep warm.

After Zheng Tan climbed a few trees, his body felt a lot warmer, but he didn't feel too cold. He was still a little sleepy now, and there was no sleep atmosphere at home. After thinking about it, Zheng Tan decided to go to Jiao Dad's office to continue his sleepiness. . Dad Jiao’s office also has air conditioners, and the electricity bills are reimbursed. In summer and winter, the air conditioners are turned on in various offices and laboratories of the school. Some of them are on all day and night. I will only talk to freshmen about saving electricity.

Zheng Tan jumped onto the flower bed and walked along the edge of the flower bed to the Health Science Building.

Snow has been swept on the road, and cars coming and going have rolled the snow off the roadway to a minimum.

The greening of the school is done well. Even if the plane trees on both sides have lost their leaves, there are still four-season green plants such as camphor trees and pine trees, which will not appear to be lacking in color.

The snow was still floating, not as big as it had been at first, but it still quickly got wet when it fell on clothes.

Not far away, a few students with umbrellas came over and came out to take pictures. Maybe they, like Zheng Tan, rarely snowed in their hometown, so they were so curious.

A girl opened the umbrella handed over by the boy next to her, "I don't want to open an umbrella, I want snow~"

"Don't pay attention to her, it's a shame!" Another girl laughed and scolded.

"It was the first time she saw snow with her own eyes, so let her go."

"Hey, look, there's a black cat in the flower bed! Hurry up and take a picture!" someone shouted.

Zheng Tan tugged at his ears, looked away, and ignored them.

"I took a photo with this black cat!" The girl who was screaming about getting drenched in snow trotted to Zheng Tan's side, but Zheng Tan didn't hide, so he paused for the sake of face, so that the girl could pose silly scissors hand. This girl looks pretty good.

"I also took a picture with a cat!" A boy came over.

Hearing the boy's words, Zheng Tan left without looking back, leaving only cat footprints on the edge of the flower bed.

After turning a corner, he could already see the Health Science Building. Zheng Tan, who was about to speed up to run over, suddenly stopped, and he heard someone say Dad Jiao's name.

Looking sideways, the two people on the sidewalk were also walking towards the Health Science Building, with a spicy smell on their bodies. It was estimated that they had just come out of the nearby on-campus snack bar.

"It's not that I hit you. If you don't get a high score in the test, you will probably be brushed down. In our school, the tutors like to ask for students from our school, or those with high scores. Apart from that, any time The students of this school are given priority. For example, my scores are similar to yours, and I just passed the score line, but I have a much better chance of being admitted than you. Of course, different tutors will treat differently, such as Jiao Mingsheng The requirements are very high. Many people in this year's postgraduate entrance examination applied for him, but he did not want any of the previous postgraduates. I heard that his requirements are very strict.

The student was still talking, and Zheng Tan just remembered that tomorrow's weekend will also be the time for the national postgraduate exam. Dad Jiao has been staying in the office a lot these days. He has to mark students' final exam papers, hold meetings about postgraduate entrance exams, guide research projects, and pay attention to the company's situation. A few days ago, Zheng Tan listened to Jiao's father talking about enrolling a satisfactory graduate student to share the affairs. Yi Xin was too busy alone.

"Jiao Mingsheng?" The other person was at a loss. He was from a foreign school and was not familiar with the teachers of Chuhua University's Academy of Sciences.

"I know you don't know him. Speaking of which, Jiao Mingsheng is not well-known in other schools, but this year it has become popular. Several students who didn't find him regret it. They are new ones..."

Zheng Tan listened to the gossip with his ears pricked up, but he didn't usually hear anything about it. It turns out that Jiao Dad is a new young mentor in the eyes of the students.

However, Papa Jiao's fame is due to the project fund and Yi Xin. Among the graduate students in the same class, Yi Xin was far behind the others.

In the academy, the most direct way to evaluate a student's excellence is to look at his SCI articles. Although some people criticize this evaluation method and attitude, it is indeed a recognized evaluation method, and Yi Xin has already published two articles within half a year. Now, the impact factor is not bad. In the eyes of others, this is mostly due to Associate Professor Jiao. The project is not good, there is no subject, and there is no fund. Can the whole result come out

"Some other well-known teachers have either already filled their places or have already made an appointment. You don't have to fight for it. You can consider those marginalized teachers. Although they don't have many subjects, at least you have a good chance of being admitted. Some. Okay, I'm going back to review, take a good look at the printed courseware."

After talking for a while, the two separated. The one from the school walked away from the dormitory, and the candidate from another school went to the Health Department Building, and then came out and headed towards a nearby carport.

Zheng Tan followed behind the foreign student, and he could see clearly from the flower bed at the door just now that this man only stood in the hall on the first floor of the Health Science Building for a while, and looked at some honorary introductions hanging in the hall, such as the teachers in the courtyard. The project topics that he has won, etc., and there is a list of winners at the school's annual academic meeting. Zheng Tan remembers that Jiao's father said that Yi Xin was the first prize, and there was a bonus of 3,000 yuan.

And when this man came out of the building, Zheng Tan heard what he was muttering, including the names of Papa Jiao and Yi Xin.

So Zheng Tan was curious. Since he turned into a cat, Zheng Tan's curiosity has grown a lot, but Zheng Tan himself doesn't think so, he just attributed the reason to purely boring fun.

There is a roof above the carport, so no snow will fall. The undergraduates are about to go on vacation, and they are busy preparing for the courses they have not finished in the end. Some students who have passed all the subjects have already bought train tickets to go home. Therefore, there are fewer bicycles in the carport, and the space is much larger.

There is a wooden shelf next to it and a wooden cable roller on the ground.

Zheng Tan saw the man drag the roller to the shelf, patted the dust on it, put the bag behind his back on the shelf, took something out of the bag, and sat on the wooden cable roller.

Zheng Tan was in the flower bed behind him. Since there were some green plants blocking it, this person would not find him even if he turned around.

The sitting person spread out a thick printed document on his lap. Zheng Tan thought, that should be the printed courseware mentioned earlier. It's really thick, can you read it overnight

Zheng Tan is not clear about some of the things in the postgraduate entrance examination. Now it seems that it is not just the exam, but also the skills

who cares!

Zheng Tan didn't bother about the so-called skills, he just came over to take a look out of curiosity. Anyway, he had nothing to do when he was idle, but it didn't seem to be interesting. Just as he was about to leave, Zheng Tan saw the person sitting there taking out a bag, which was filled with pieces of jerky-like things one by one.

Beef sticks? What a big piece!

Zheng Tan was curious, but he didn't pay attention to his feet. He stepped on a branch and made a clicking sound.

Looking up, Zheng Tan saw that the candidates from the other school were looking at him with a piece of beef jerky sideways.

Zheng Tan didn't feel that the man showed malice, and the man handed Zheng Tan a piece of beef jerky.

Looking at the clean and unbited beef jerky handed over, and looking at the person in front of him, Zheng Tan cheekily opened his mouth to take it, then leaned to the side and began to concentrate on eating the beef jerky. Zheng Tan didn't like what he was eating falling to the ground, so he squatted down, put the piece of beef jerky on his arm, and nibbled slowly.

"Hey, you really can eat Inner Mongolia beef jerky..."

Before the foreign school candidate could finish speaking, he saw a familiar person walking towards the carport. The person who came over had just read the introduction in the hall of the Health Science Building.

"Jiao... Teacher Jiao?" The candidates from the other school quickly stood up. He was obviously so big, but now he didn't seem to have any momentum at all, and he was a little reserved.

Associate Professor Jiao was planning to go to the administrative building to do some errands, but as soon as he got out of the building, he glanced at the surrounding snow scene, and saw a familiar cat shadow - his own cat was squatting there and chewing beef jerky hard. The person next to him is very eye-catching. This head is very conspicuous in the courtyard. If he has seen it before, Associate Professor Jiao thinks he must have an impression.

"You are?"

"Oh, my name is Su Qu, Su of Threonine, Fun Fun, come here for the exam tomorrow."

When Su Qu said this, Associate Professor Jiao knew that this person must be a student from another university in this city, not this school.

Associate Professor Jiao did not leave immediately, nor did he eat the beef jerky that Su Qu handed over. He stayed there to talk with Su Qu for a while, all of which were related to his profession.

Zheng Tan nibbled while listening to their conversation.

At first, Zheng Tan was familiar with the content of the conversation between the two. After all, he had followed Dad Jiao for so long and had listened to so many lecture PPTs, even if he didn't understand it, he was familiar. However, the further back he went, the more at a loss Zheng Tan became. The conversation between the two gradually turned into a simple and direct question-and-answer method.

"If each letter in the sentence yesIcan represents an amino acid, what is it?"

"Cheese, Grain, Silk, Iris, Cyst, C, Asparagus."

"What is the principle of transforming isolated B-type blood into O-type blood?"

"Blood cell membrane surface B antigens..."

"The cause of premature aging of the cloned sheep Dolly?"

"I thought this way, number one, the length of telomeres in the cell..."

"Light is an indispensable condition for chloroplast development and chlorophyll synthesis. Without light, the leaves of many plants will turn yellow. However, the lotus seed heart also cannot see sunlight, so why is it still green?"

When the two of them asked and answered, they spoke quickly. Zheng Tan, who was lying beside him, was at a loss, and at the same time, he chewed the beef jerky in his mouth. After finally chewing the beef jerky, Papa Jiao's conversation ended.

Yi Xin came to the carport five minutes ago. He was going to push the cart back to the dormitory to sleep, but found that his boss was in the carport and was talking to a stranger, so he came over to listen. Why is the question like what a teacher in the courtyard said a few days ago when he gave the students the last class before the exam

You must know that most of the things taught in the last class before the test in the school will appear on the test paper. This is the last secret of the students, and it is also an open secret in the school, but there are many other schools. People just don't know. However, now Boss Jiao has brought up some of these contents. Is this a leak

After Su Qu left, Associate Professor Yi Xinjiao said, "Boss, are you leaking the question?"

"It's not called questioning, it's called answering questions."

Zheng Tan: "..." Jiao Dad, you have lost your integrity.

On the other side, Su Qu, who was instructed, was happily walking to the rental house. He didn't answer some questions that came up. He would go back and look through the materials later. If he was able to talk to Associate Professor Jiao for so long, does that mean that he could have a job as long as he passed the test. The opportunity was recorded by Associate Professor Jiao

What Su Qu didn't know, he, like Yi Xin, who was about to become his immediate senior brother, was waiting for him in the near future as a part-time nanny who took care of cats and children.
