Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 94: Everyone knows black charcoal

Views:

When Zheng Tan came down from the tree, Jiao Wei looked at him a little strangely. He probably didn't understand why he suddenly climbed up the tree and looked inside the dormitory.

Flicking his tail, Zheng Tan didn't care what Jiao Wei thought at all. After glancing at him, he lay down beside him and yawned.

Going further, there is no shady place. Many student dormitories were expanded later. The surrounding greenery is not as good as those of the old dormitory areas. Most of the trees are not big camphor trees. Not lush enough to block the sun.

Moreover, Dad Jiao just let Zheng Tan lead the way. As for where to go, Jiao Wei has the right to choose. As a result, the guy couldn't let out a fart for a long time, so Zheng Tan was a little more casual. After walking for so long, take a rest.

Seeing that the cat leading the way was not leaving, Jiao Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a break.

There is a small on-campus supermarket downstairs in the dormitory in front. After walking for so long, I was a little thirsty. Jiao Wei folded the campus map in his hand, walked towards the supermarket, took two steps, then stopped, looked back, and was hesitating whether he should say something to the cat, let it stay where it was and not run around. . But before he could speak, he saw that the cat had already run over to the supermarket.

Zheng Tan knew what Jiao Wei was going to do as soon as he saw Jiao Wei walking over there, so he rushed over quickly. He was also a little thirsty, and besides, this is not a leucorrhea, so there must be some benefits, right

The cats all ran over there, and Jiao Wei couldn't help but follow.

At this time, there were no students in the supermarket, only a few waiters chatted there, and a couple of student couples sat in the place selling milk tea, using the air conditioner here.

There was no sign that no pets were allowed at the entrance of the supermarket. Jiao Wei didn't know if he would be scolded for bringing the cat in, but it was not up to him to decide, because the cat had already entered.

A waitress who was cutting watermelon at the door saw the combination of one person and one cat, and was about to say something, but in the end she didn't speak. Sometimes some students also bring their pet dogs in. As long as it doesn't cause any bad influence, generally no one will say. As for cats, this is the first time they have seen someone bring them in.

Seeing that the cat was still wearing a cat tag around its neck, it was quite formal. The waiters in the supermarket continued to do their own thing after reading it. A few were idle and bored and kept watching, which put Jiao Wei under a lot of pressure.

He went in and took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator. Jiao Wei didn't have anything to buy anymore. He always saved money. He looked at the cat next to him. The cat was really sensible. Going to the shelves and scurrying about, not picking anything.

When Zheng Tan saw that Jiao Wei took the mineral water, he looked at the freezer next to him, jumped up, and looked at Jiao Wei.

"Does it want to eat ice cream?" A waiter came over and didn't open the freezer. She still had some scruples about a cat. If the cat jumped into the freezer and was seen, the ice cream would not be sold. went.

Zheng Tan looked inside through the transparent sliding door, and then patted the place where the ice cream was placed.

The waiter looked at Jiao Wei, saw Jiao Wei nod, then opened the sliding door and took out a box of two-color ice cream.

Zheng Tan has a concept of the price of these ice creams. Jiao Yuan and the others often buy them with their pocket money, and they also discuss the prices of various ice creams and ice creams, so which brand is more expensive and which ice cream is more expensive, Zheng Tan All heard.

Getting what he wanted, Zheng Tan jumped off the freezer and walked towards the exit.

"Your cat is so smart," said the waiter who helped with the ice cream.

Jiao Wei twitched the corners of his mouth, and only then did he realize something was wrong. He bought mineral water for one dollar for himself, but ice cream for two dollars for the cat! I never thought I would do such a stupid thing!

After leaving the small supermarket, he found a place with a shade of trees and a stone bench to sit down. Jiao Wei put the ice cream on the stone table without helping to open the lid, just to see what the cat was going to do.

Zheng Tan didn't care, he hugged the ice cream box, then bit the lid closed on it and pulled it back. After pulling it open, he didn't use a spoon, and just licked it with his tongue. A cat's tongue has soft thorns that can be scraped off by licking it.

Jiao Wei choked, as expected of an associate professor's cat, this IQ is really different. But... will cats have diarrhea if they eat ice cream? When you go back, let's talk to Uncle Mingsheng and the others.

Spreading out the campus map, Jiao Wei was able to find the dormitory area for undergraduates, which was not far from here. Each dormitory building was marked with a building number, so it was not difficult to find.

Chuhua University is really big, far from what Jiao Wei could have imagined. In the past, I had only heard other people talk about the situation of the university, but only after I experienced it myself, this feeling was real and stronger.

After resting for a while, Jiao Wei tentatively said two words to Zheng Tan, with an awkward accent. Zheng Tan also took Jiao Wei to see the buildings and teaching areas he wanted to see.

When he was walking back, Zheng Tan took Jiao Wei to some small roads, passing by the small flower garden of the old man Lan, and seeing the big iron gate of the flower garden was open, Zheng Tan stretched his head to look inside, and the old man Lan was bringing A straw hat is busy.

The old man Lan was about to get up to drink some water, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Zheng Tan, who was poking his head at the door. His black hair was too conspicuous.

"What are you looking at, little bastard!"

Zheng Tan tugged at his ears and taught, "little bastard" and "little bastard" who opened his mouth and shut up! Turning his head to look at Jiao Wei behind him, he looked really embarrassed.

In fact, the old man Lan is more open to some acquaintances in this way, and is more formal when dealing with some students and people who are not very familiar.

Zheng Tan took two steps in, and seeing Jiao Wei still standing outside the door, he looked at him, flicked his tail, and motioned to follow.

I thought that Zheng Tan was running out for a walk by himself again, but seeing this situation, the old man Lan said, "Who else is outside?"

Jiao Wei bravely walked in and looked in the direction of the voice, "Hello, sorry for the inconvenience."

The old man Lan frowned, "Who are you?"

Jiao Wei walked over and explained his origins and his relationship with Jiao Dad. When they went to Jiao's house these few days, Jiao Wei didn't meet the old man Lan who lived on the third floor, so this was the first time they met.

"Oh, the guests from Jiao Mingsheng's house, it's quite early. It's not time to sign up yet." The old man Lan said, taking out a straw-woven fruit plate, "The horse's milk just washed."

"No, I'll bring water..."

"Eat if you want!" Old Man Lan stared, then picked a few and handed them to Zheng Tan.

Jiao Wei: "..." Why are cats treated better than people

Sitting down on the small stool next to him, Jiao Wei ate two of them and stopped eating, feeling a little restrained. But then, in the old man Lan's question after question, he gradually let go.

He didn't communicate much with people before, one was because of the tension in a completely unfamiliar environment, and the other was because of the dialect.

No matter how ambitious you were when you left that small county, it was the first time in my life that I went far away, it was the first time I came to such a big city, and the first time people around me didn’t speak their native language and didn’t have a sense of intimacy. , When they got off the train, they still had a little sense of inferiority, and when they asked for directions, those people heard that they had a foreign accent, and there was something else in their eyes.

However, the old man in front of him was also throwing out a string of words with a dialect accent. Although everyone's dialect was different, it also made Jiao Wei feel less nervous.

Having taught for so many years and brought countless students, the old man Lan also understands the various psychology of these freshmen, "If you talk more, you will get used to it. There are so many students like you, who can look down on who? "

Teachers who teach in middle schools must take the Mandarin exam, but there are no such regulations for those who teach in universities. Many old professors have serious accents, but no one dares to laugh at them and still respect them. The same dialect is spoken, one is an ordinary student, the other is an old professor, and the treatment is completely different.

Zheng Tan was lying beside him, listening to Old Man Lan's half-truth lectures from Jiao Wei, while eating the contents of the fruit bowl. When Old Man Lan finished speaking, he realized that the tits in the fruit bowl had been reduced by half.

"Food!" Old man Lan rolled up the newspaper at hand and knocked on Zheng Tan's head, then Jiao Wei said, "You are strong enough, come on, do me a favor and move the flower pot, hey, be careful, you can hurt yourself. , don't drop my flowers..."

It was almost five o'clock, and the old man Lan followed Zheng Tan and Jiao Wei to the east compound.

The old man shook the spatula in his hand while talking to Jiao Wei next to him. Jiao Wei was holding a pot of flowers, which was not heavy and easy to hold. Chatting with the old man was not as dull as before.

Zheng Tan wasn't interested in listening to them chat, he originally wanted to go back quickly, but he felt that it was not good, so he could only stop and go, and at the same time, he disliked the two of them walking too slowly.

Along the way, I also met some acquaintances who came out of the compound to the swimming pool on campus. They said hello to Zheng Tan, said hello to old man Lan, and asked Jiao Wei by the way.

Jiao Wei was also quite surprised at the moment. When he first saw the old man, he thought he was just a flower farmer. He was dressed simply, similar to the white vest he often wears at home. Now he realizes that the old man next to him is also a big man. And what puzzled him the most was about the cat. It was just a matter of saying hello to Professor Lan. Why did he call the cat along

"Does everyone know Black Charcoal?" Jiao Wei still asked the doubts in his heart.

"It?" The old man Lan smiled, "A tyrant in the east district, who doesn't know the people in our compound? I heard that a while ago, the cats in the compound were brought into a fight with the cats in the west district. Now the cats in the west district are all Don't dare to come to our East District compound..."

This is actually an injustice to Zheng Tan. At that time, the cat on the west side picked it up first. He was playing with Big Fat Ah Huang and the others in the courtyard that evening. A few cats from the west side came over and were quite vicious, and one went over the balcony to steal Big Fat's rations. Isn't that killing him

Although I knew that the cats on both sides would fight, I didn't expect the other side to be so bold, and they all came to the door. Even the castrated Ah Huang was not happy. That day, they beat up a few cats that came from the West District, and then drove them all the way back to their old nest in the West District.

In fact, the cats in the West District should be fortunate. The dogs in the compound were taken out for a walk that day, and the "General" was not at home, otherwise their fate would be even worse.

However, things between cats are better handled by the cats themselves.

"Whether it's a cat or a person, being accepted by everyone depends on one's own ability," said the old man Lan.
