The campus in July is full of lusciousness.
Although people often repair flower beds and some green belts, the growth of vegetation is too fast and changes in appearance every few days.
For the people of Chuhua City, July and August are always irritating, and the weather is too hot, so people rarely go out during the day.
Zheng Tan was lying on the balcony on the fifth floor, and there was a pot of orchid next to it, which was given by old man Lan. Zheng Tan likes to lie here and sleep by leaning on the flower pot. At this point, there is shade on the balcony, which may be hot for people, but For cats, the temperature is not bad, after all, the body temperature is higher than that of humans.
Therefore, Zheng Tan prefers the balcony here compared to the indoor air-conditioned room.
In the blink of an eye, it has been more than a year since I came to this place. Zheng Tan hadn't noticed it before, but when he knew that Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi were on summer vacation, Zheng Tan realized that it was summer vacation again.
At this time last year, not long after Zheng Tan came here, he was quite repulsive to everything, insecure, dazed, at a loss, and had other complex emotions gathered together. Now that I think about it, my mood at that time was a little blurry, but I still remember clearly the scenes of coming here.
Just as he was thinking about it, his chin felt a little itchy, Zheng Tan rubbed against the protruding edge of the flowerpot, yawned, and squinted at the people below who were hurrying with umbrellas.
On such a hot day, Jiao Yuan was still crazy outside. Jiao Yuan and Xiong Xiong have always been out to play recently. Today they go to the swimming pool and tomorrow they go to play basketball. They have a full schedule. Except for dinner, they are not at home much during the day. Anyway, several children in the compound are all together, and there is always someone's parent around. They are all acquaintances, and the parents of other families are not worried.
Jiao Yuan, who was out of primary school life, was always inexplicably excited. Even in the hot summer, he would always have a silly smile on his face. He had been tanned just after graduating from primary school.
Thinking about the little grapefruit who stayed in the room doing summer homework, Zheng Tan couldn't help but sigh, the little girl should be quieter.
After a good night's sleep, Zheng Tan was woken up by the sound.
"Meow-meow-"
There were two cat calls from downstairs.
Not Ah Huang, not the sheriff, nor Da Chuan.
Just listening to this voice, without looking, Zheng Tan knew it was the Peanut Candy guy.
Peanut Candy has followed "Li Yuanba" to walk the streets since he was a child. He has a clear understanding of the surrounding terrain. From the pet center to Chuhua University, it is a place where he often walks.
Unlike dogs, when cats go out for a walk, they may walk farther than people think. Of course, I don’t mention those road idiot cats, such as Ah Huang, the farthest place is still Chu Hua. Inside the university, and they were all with Zheng Tan and the others, if Ah Huang was left alone, he wouldn't even be able to get out of the courtyard.
Zheng Tan once thought that Ah Huang was afraid of people outside and other pet dogs he didn't know, but after taking this guy out a few times, Zheng Tan discovered that this guy doesn't remember the way very much. Maybe after the castration, he didn't go anywhere. Peeing, and I don't remember the way very much without a "road sign".
As for the reason why Peanut Candy is walking alone on the street, the main reason is that "Li Yuanba" is sick, and the intestinal infection is still something, which is a little serious, which makes Yanzi and Xiao Guoke feel bad. "Li Yuanba" usually gives the impression of being strong and healthy, and he has never suffered from some minor illnesses. However, once he gets sick, he will make a lot of trouble. In short, he has been left at the pet center to recuperate recently and has not come out.
The Peanut Candy guy will still go out whenever he has time. However, when Zheng Tan used to shoot an advertisement last time, I heard Xiao Guo say that the Peanut Candy guy would take a mouse in front of "Li Yuanba" every time he went out and came back. Planting a large mouse seems to be seeking praise, or perhaps it is to explain to people that it has grown up and is no longer the kitten that always needed to be accompanied.
Regardless of what Peanut Candy was thinking, the behavior continued.
Sometimes Peanut Candy will come over and ask a few cats from the compound to go out together. After there are more cats, it is estimated that they will have momentum, and they will not always be bullied.
It seems that Peanut Candy is only seven or eight months old now, but it is bigger than other cats of seven or eight months old. They are almost the same as Zheng Tan and the others. In addition, their hair is slightly longer and thicker, just like a big cat. Same.
As for the individual "mole" on Peanut Candy's mouth, with the growth of the size, the "mole" also became larger, and it looked very funny.
Zheng Tan went out with Peanut Candy a few times, and just these few times, Zheng Tan discovered a phenomenon. First, Peanut Candy is very skilled at catching mice. It seems that the teaching of "Li Yuanba" played a key role and contributed to it. Second, this guy never catches mice in one place. Today, he will be on the next street, tomorrow will be in a warehouse in Chuhua University, and the day after tomorrow, he will be in another place.
In short, each day's mice came from a different location. This made Zheng Tan a little puzzled.
Do mice smell different in different places
Or maybe this is Peanut Candy expressing to "Li Yuanba" that he is familiar with the surrounding terrain
Zheng Tan doesn't understand, but he still appreciates the behavior of peanut candy.
Peanut Candy barked below, and the sheriff, who was sleeping in a grassy nook, rushed out and looked very happy, because every time Peanut Candy came over to call an accomplice, it was most likely to fight a cat in a certain site. Maybe the cat in that place is blocking its way, open it once.
Zheng Tan got up and stretched, then went out and ran downstairs.
Ah Huang was locked up at home recently, and the fat guy wouldn't leave his old lady too far, so only Zheng Tan and the sheriff went out for a walk with Peanut Candy.
One of the side entrances of Chuhua University is a small street a hundred meters away. There are also some private housing gathering places. They are built on several floors and rented to students, which is rather chaotic. Most of the people who rent here are boys, and girls don’t dare to come here. The reason is because the place is too remote, because there is a building behind, I heard that it is an abandoned project, and it has not been dealt with. There are often fights there, and there have been several bloody scenes. Incident, so, gradually, many people don't go there very much, and the remaining people choose to rent there because of the low rent, otherwise it must be very depressed there.
That's where Zheng Tan went with Peanut Candy today, but unfortunately, there are several families there today that are holding weddings, graduation celebrations, and the like. I didn't go to any big hotel. People here are used to doing it in their own homes. Anyway, their homes are all four or five-storey buildings, and the space is large.
If it’s just one family, it’s fine. Now there are several, with cars parked everywhere, and many people coming and going. It’s past four o’clock in the afternoon.
Zheng Tan saw a cat squatting on the fence of a family. It was quite big, and the color was similar to that of the sheriff. In addition to this one, Zheng Tan also saw a cat with long hair lying lazily under a car.
After Peanut Candy looked around for a while, he stopped moving forward, and he probably didn't expect to encounter such a situation. After flicking his tail, he turned and left.
The sheriff was about to rush over to fight, but Zheng Tan pulled him back. There are too many people here, so it's okay for cats to fight.
Cat fights are better at night, when there is no human factor involved. However, peanut candy doesn't come out every night, it all depends on Yanzi's mood that day. Looking at Peanut Candy's decision today, it is estimated that it will not come out at night. If it can come out at night, it will not come here during the day.
When Zheng Tan returned to the compound, he heard voices coming from the house before he entered the door.
"Father"
What is the "Buddha" doing here at this time
Zheng Tan was puzzled.
After entering the door, Zheng Tan saw "Buddha" holding a baby and talking to Jiao's mother.
Seeing Zheng Tan coming in, Jiao Ma hurriedly said, "You don't have to wait until dinner time, Heitan is back now!"
Zheng Tan tugged at his ears, what did he say, as if he was a foodie.
"Buddha" sat on the sofa in the living room, looked at Zheng Tan and said, "Hei Tan, come here, this is a kitten."
kitten
Zhuo kitten
No wonder the iron-faced face of "Buddha" that has remained unchanged for thousands of years is now softer than his own.
Zheng Tan walked over, jumped on the sofa, and looked at the baby in "Buddha"'s arms.
According to the time, Zhuo Kitten should be about three months old, still can't speak, can't even crawl. The hair is not too dense, and the eyes are not too big, but they are very dark and very charming.
I heard that children's eyes are like this, black and white are clear, relatively clear, not as muddy as adults.
There is a pendant on Zhuo Kitten's neck, which is a pendant made of nine-leaf clover by Xiao Zhuo, and it should be hung on Zhuo Kitten now and in the future.
Lord Buddha adjusted the hugging posture so that Zhuo Kitten could face Zheng Tan.
One person and one cat looked at each other like this.
Then, Kitten Zhuo burst into laughter, shaking his arms while laughing, like a chick vibrating its wings.
Laugh a fart!
Zheng Tan looked at the little baby in front of him, the little guy kept babbling there, not knowing what he was talking about, and his eyes and expressions were very serious.
"He's saying hello." Buddha said.
Yeah
Zheng Tan looked at the people who continued to babble there. This little guy was laughing so hard that his saliva was drooling.
"Hei Tan, say hello to your brother." Jiao Ma said beside him.
greet
how to spell
Zheng Tan was a little dazed. For such an old child, would a poke hurt him
However, seeing how the little guy was waving his arms hard, Zheng Tan still leaned over, rubbed his palms on the sofa, wiped some dust off his palms, then shook his hands, looked at his palms, and made sure to put away the sharp claws. , and then stretched out the palm of his hand. He touched Zhuo Kitten's chubby face.
Seeing Zheng Tan's actions just now, "Buddha" had a little smile on his face.
Zhuo Kitten started laughing again after being touched by Zheng Tan.
Zheng Tan was a little helpless, how could this little boy like to laugh so much.
"Buddha" didn't stay here for too long and left soon.
In the evening, when Jiao's mother talked about the afternoon's events at the dinner table, Jiao's father just said "um" twice without saying much. But Zheng Tan always felt like Dad Jiao knew something.
