Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 332

[Chapter 321 Unexpected red envelopes]

Early in the morning of the New Year’s Day, Zheng Tan heard the voices of Mr. Jiao and Mrs. Jiao. The old people are always used to getting up early, and they are even more diligent during the New Year.

No one slept in today, Xiaoyouzi and Jiao Yuan also got up soon after, there are still many tasks today, and there will be New Year’s guests at home.

However, when Xiaoyouzi and Jiao Yuan woke up, their vision was still blurred and they were not sober. They were yawning when they smelled the smell of braised pork.

Usually breakfast is lighter, so the two children are thinking, is it possible to change to braised pork for breakfast today?

When I was getting dressed, I discovered that there was a red envelope on the bedside.

When I picked it up and looked at it, the red envelope was obviously much thicker than what I usually received, and on the back, a greasy cat’s paw print with the smell of braised pork was there, and I didn’t need to think much to know who it belonged to.

What surprised Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi even more was the 500 yuan in the red envelope.

Zheng Tan has a lot of private money. This Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi have long known that Jiao Yuan also borrowed money from Zheng Tan, but borrowing money is one thing, and receiving “New Year’s money” red packets is another. Yuanhe Xiaoyouzi’s mood is quite strange and complicated. After all, in their opinion, Zheng Tan’s cat is much younger than them, and there are 500 yuan in it!

For a student, that’s a lot of money.

Jiao Yuan looked at the red envelope in his hand with a tangled face. He actually wanted to shout “Fuck me” to ease the impact of the red envelope, but obviously not. On the first day of the new year, he didn’t want to be trained.

The old man and the old lady narrowed their eyes when they saw Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi walking out of their respective rooms.

Before waiting for the two children to say anything, he quickly took out his pocket and handed over the prepared New Year’s bag.

Just as Zheng Tan expected, the old man gave a hundred yuan, and you can tell by looking at the thickness.

Zheng Tan couldn’t help but be complacent, not as much as I gave.

“Ah, Black Charcoal, and yours.”

The old man and the old lady took it out again, and it was the same as in previous years. One of Zheng Tan’s red envelopes contained pork jerky, and the other contained dried fish fillets, but.

This year the old man and the old lady gave more.

In previous years, there was only one bag in a red packet, but now there are two bags, which is doubled.

There is also a reason for Zheng Tan’s red envelopes to double in weight. The biggest credit for what happened the day before yesterday lies in Zheng Tan.

Although in the eyes of many people, the credit goes to Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi.

But the old man and the old lady knew that Zheng Tan played a key role in this.

And because of this incident, several cadres in the village came to thank Mr. Jiao, and even two officials in the town came to talk to Mr. Jiao.

This made Mr. Jiao more face-saving. In the past, when talking with Mr. Gu from Mr. Jiao’s side, Mr. Gu often got shy. He had a lot of face by brushing his face. Now Mr. Jiao feels that the next time he sees Mr. Gu, he will be able to do it. Show off more.

Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi didn’t tell the two old people about Zheng Tan’s “huge” red envelope, for fear of scaring the old man.

Jiao Yuan pulled people into the room while Dad Jiao was free, and told Dad Jiao that Zheng Tan gave them the red envelope with a face of “in a big trough”.

Jiao Dad thought for a while, then said: “Then accept it. According to the age of cats and people, Hei Tan is already middle-aged. You are only a teenager. I guess it will treat you as a junior.”

Jiao Yuan Yuan: “…don’t take it like that.”

“This is also what Heitan wants. Besides, Heitan is a high-paid class who has worked for a few years now. You are still a middle school student, and his monthly salary covers your living expenses for half a year. Oh, at the end of the year, it paid more for documentaries.”

Jiao Yuan: “…” It’s good to hit people.

There are also many examples of cats from other homes giving gifts, such as dead mice, mutilated grasshoppers or other “gadgets”, etc. However, the experience of being given New Year’s money by their own cats is probably only for Jiao Yuan and Xiao. Only grapefruit can have it, and only they can experience that complicated and tangled feeling.

In the morning, he went out to visit the grave and came back. Zheng Tan found that there was a man sitting in the old house. It was Song Ting. The old man Jiao smiled with chrysanthemums all over his face, and called “Song experts” eagerly.

Compared to when he was tied up, Song Ting looks much better now, and the bruises at the corners of his eyes have faded a lot. Fortunately, the robbers didn’t take off their down jackets directly. Otherwise, they might not be able to wait for rescue.

Song Ting was not negative because of what he experienced that day. He looked quite energetic and his complexion was much healthier.

When Song Ting came, Dad Jiao took Jiao Yuan and the others just left. Because Mr. Jiao said that it would not be long, Song Ting sat here and waited all the time. When Dad Jiao and his party came back, a smile flashed in Song Ting’s eyes, and his eyes It first landed on Zheng Tan, who was wearing a vest, then Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi, and then looked at Jiao’s father and Jiao’s mother behind.

After saying New Year’s greetings, Song Ting took out his pocket.

Zheng Tan groaned inexplicably, always feeling a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the next moment, Song Ting took out from his pocket two big red envelopes with more exquisite workmanship that were twice the size of Zheng Tan’s, and the red envelopes were quite thick.

When Dad Jiao and Old Man Jiao saw it, they couldn’t sit still. They got up and tried to block them back, but in the end they couldn’t stand Song Ting’s insistence, so they nodded and let the two children accept it.

“Hey, Expert Song, you are too polite!” Mr. Jiao felt a little pressured, and their village had not yet given a thousand New Year’s money directly.

Just now, Jiao Yuan went back to the room after receiving the red envelope, and then secretly made a gesture to Dad Jiao and Mr. Jiao, telling them how much there was in the red envelope, so that the two of them had a bottom line.

In fact, many of Song Ting’s relatives give their children a lot of red envelopes. One thousand and two thousand are normal. It seems that they have given less money. However, this is also a process of replacement. You give his children. How much, he will give it to your children when the time comes, and send red envelopes to each other. If you can’t send the lucky money, the red envelopes will be recorded in other things, and you will add them back to your share money at that time.

Song Ting didn’t like the so-called “reciprocal exchanges”, which were prepared by his wife in the past, but now after his wife went abroad to pursue a doctorate, the old man was not around and couldn’t give advice, and finally decided to follow the previous method of sending it among relatives.

The whole big red envelope was given to each of the two children, 1,000.

Song Ting wanted to pack more. He really thanked the two children. It was the first time this happened in so many years. Fortunately, the two children and the cat helped. Otherwise, the consequences were really unpredictable, and more red envelopes would do. , but in the end, a few friends from Song Ting’s side were suppressed. Generally speaking, in the village, it would put too much pressure on others, so I would like to thank them.

Other ways are fine.

so.

This thousand yuan was the result that Song Ting had reduced a lot under the persuasion of his friends.

On Zheng Tan’s side, when Jiao Yuan went back to the room to look at the red envelopes, he hurriedly followed him. After seeing it, countless “fuck” words in his heart followed the alpaca, and Song Ting’s sight was not very good.

Originally planned to give the highest red envelope this year.

Results haven’t lasted two hours.

was broken.

Zheng Tan was so depressed that he wanted to flip the table.

At the same time, I am also thinking about saving more cash to send next year!

At that time, there will also be a larger red envelope with more delicate and beautiful workmanship!

Someone over there came to see Mr. Jiao, and the old man asked Dad Jiao to stay here and talk to Expert Song more.

After Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi were called away by Jiao’s mother, only Jiao’s father and Song Ting were left.

Both of them are professors of similar age. Although they are engaged in different directions, they are not completely unrelated. They can also talk about common topics. Zheng Tan listens to the academically advanced things. He wants to sleep.

When Zheng Tan woke up after a short sleep, Jiao Dad and Song Ting talked about the loss of the fruit forest after the snow disaster, and they also said that they were going to donate money.

Zheng Tan has always been heartless. He has no intention of making donations at all. He doesn’t feel that the money he earns should be given to people he doesn’t know. He doesn’t need to donate money to gain fame for himself. For the Jiao family and friends he knew, so when Dad Jiao was talking to Song Ting about the donation, Zheng Tan ran out and planned to walk outside.

This year, the festive atmosphere for Chinese New Year in the village is not so strong. Because of this snow disaster, many people who depend on the land for a living have suffered a lot. The people who plant and breed are all in the same situation. They are not optimistic. They just want to try their best to save some losses.

There are also a lot fewer children playing with firecrackers outside, and they all help the family with their work. The income of the family is directly linked to their future schooling and marriage, so they give up the time to play with firecrackers to work.

Zheng Tan squatted on a big rock beside the dirt road, watching the villagers fleeing nearby.

The two old men passed by on the dirt road in front of them and were talking without noticing Zheng Tan.

Listening to their conversation, it seems to be about everyone donating money together to a family. The family conditions of that family are not very good. There are many problems in the tile house, and it is not reliable. After a snow disaster, half of it collapsed. Fortunately, everyone was fine, and New Year’s Eve was barely passed with the help of some people, otherwise I would have to suffer from cold and starvation.

Some people in the village wanted to raise money to help them repair their house first, otherwise they would have nowhere to live.

Listening to what the two old people said, the conditions of their own homes are not very good, but they are decent. The son, daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law of the family do not agree with donating money very much, but the old man thinks, do some kind deeds and accumulate more virtue for his son and grandson. This way you can go in peace.

Many people, the older they get, the more they believe in mysterious things, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.

It is said that good people are rewarded, and wicked people are punished by heaven. Zheng Tan used to disdain this, because all kinds of people in the society who cheated, cheated, murdered and stolen goods, and thieves lived in luxury houses, drove luxury cars, and bought high-quality girls. Better than anyone else, but some good people live miserably.

The dereliction of duty in education, the ever-increasing pressure of life, and the growing gap between the rich and the poor, make people overwhelmed, do good deeds and accumulate virtue?

No, they believe more and more that money comes first, and as for whether the process is good or bad, what does that matter?

However, UU reading www.

sonicmtl.com Zheng Tan suddenly became confused again. He once thought, did he do too many wicked things that he suddenly turned into a cat?

There is a vegetable garden across the dirt road. Some of the vegetables in it are frozen to death, but some are still alive on the side near a fence. Angry and expectant.

Zheng Tan watched Cai Ting over there gradually becoming fascinated, until a donkey face suddenly appeared, accompanied by a rather sudden ang ang ang donkey cry, so shocked that Zheng Tan almost jumped up.

But the donkey twisted its head, swung its tail and followed “Grandpa Fifth”.

Watching the man and the donkey walk away, Zheng Tan stretched and ran to the old house.

After sending Song Ting away, Dad Jiao went into the room to drink water, and as soon as he entered, he found Zheng Tan squatting on the table with his head bowed in a “contemplative” manner, with a bank card under his cat’s paws.

(To be continued..)
