Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 340

[Chapter 329 The passerby who picks up waste]

When I left the community, there was only a little boy. The little girl had lived here, and now she went home.

Zheng Tan followed the little boy not far behind. After leaving the lakeside villa area, he walked along the avenue and turned a corner. There is a community built ten years ago. live here.

This is the first time for Zheng Tan to come here. Compared with some communities on the old street, this place is not much different. Maybe the communities built at that time are similar.

The child lives on the second floor, and before entering the building, he can see a yellow and white cat squatting on the window sill on the second floor.

This should be the 12-year-old cat. Compared with Ah Huang and the Sheriff, the emotions revealed in this cat’s eyes are calmer. I don’t know if it’s a matter of age or its own personality.

The child looked at the cat on the second floor, smiled and waved, then entered the building.

In the past, his cat could easily fall down from the second floor, but he couldn’t even close it, but now he can’t. He spends a lot of time at home, at most lying on the window sill to bask in the sun and look outside.

Zheng Tan did not follow.

Seeing the cat on the second floor, the child went back to the house from the window sill after he entered the building. Zheng Tan decided to go directly to the second floor to have a look. Anyway, he is just a cat now, not a person, so he should not be caught. People are thieves.

This kind of old house community is very easy to turn over, not to mention that many residents like to install a shelter at the window to block the rainwater and the air-conditioning drainage of the upstairs residents.

After turning to the window sill on the second floor, Zheng Tan didn’t go in, so he squatted on the window sill.

The area of this house is not large, and it is similar to Jiao’s house. However, it is two bedrooms and one living room. Probably, old community houses like to design larger bedrooms and smaller living rooms.

This room does not have a balcony.

Looking at the photo on the bedside table, it should be the child’s parents’ room.

The door was not closed, and Zheng Tan could see the situation on the other side of the door from the windowsill.

The old cat was squatting half a step away from the door when he heard the familiar footsteps.

The tail also slowly hooked and swayed.

Look at the gap under the door.

After the sound of the security door opening, there was no sound of opening the wooden door immediately.

And a long green grass sticks out from the crack of the door below.

This is what the kid did in a flower bed in the community when he came back.

Zheng Tan looked at it just now and was still puzzled, what is this kid doing?

Zheng Tan just thinks that he is a child of his age and always wants to play something, it seems now.

Not so.

Moreover, looking at the interaction between the two, such a situation should have occurred more than once, perhaps for several years.

The old cat looked at the swinging grass and stretched out its paws to scratch.

If it were Ah Huang and the others, they would have already started tossing and scratching like a madman, and even a little movement would be like discovering a new continent.

The cat is not jumping around.

Maybe like the kid said, it can’t jump now, not like a young cat that loves to jump.

Although there is not much beating, the speed of the claws is still relatively fast.

After pulling the grass into the house, the old cat bit twice and ignored the grass nailed to its paws, and continued to stare at the door.

This time, I didn’t stare at the crack of the door, but at the place where the door was locked.

The sound of the wooden door opening sounded, the child walked into the house, threw the bowl he was holding aside, picked up the old cat and smoothed it out before putting it down.

Parents are not at home, the child’s grandma is resting in the room, the big room is divided into two, one for the child’s grandma to sleep, one for the child.

On the dining table in the living room are cooked dishes,

still warm, and the rice is in a rice cooker.

Before he could eat, the child first took out the red knitted fabric in his pocket and put it on his cat.

After the quilt was put on a knitting ring, the old cat was a little unaccustomed to it, and rubbed the corner of the table twice, but soon gave in under the comfort of the child, and stopped rubbing for the time being.

While scratching the old cat’s chin, the child whispered, “Don’t run around, don’t fall like last time, it’s not good to fall again when you’re old, you’re not young, do you know? Know?”

As for the red rope, he didn’t plan to tell the truth to his family. If he was asked, he said he bought it for two yuan.

If his family knew that he spent fifty yuan to buy something like this for a cat that didn’t even have a stone accessory, he would definitely be scolded, and he would deduct the small pocket money.

He didn’t know about the Benming Year, but he just heard Nini mention that people in their community bought red ropes, and thought about the older cat upstairs, and then he decided to buy one temporarily.

He may not believe those things in his heart, perhaps, he is just seeking psychological comfort.

When the child was eating, the old cat seemed to want to jump on the high stool next to the child, and after walking to the high stool, he looked at the high stool, as if he was looking at the height of the stool, and he jumped only after saving energy. , not as neat as Ah Huang.

Maybe people can’t see anything, but Zheng Tan knows the movements of cats better and can see the difference.

The kid picked up a piece of chicken, rolled it in the bowl, and removed the oil and heavy sauce from the outside of the chicken, before putting it on the cat on the stool next to it.

Looking at the way the cat was eating meat, Zheng Tan felt that although the cat looked old, it wouldn’t decline soon. He just didn’t know how many years he would live. After all, most cats have The lifespan is only ten years, and some are shorter.

When he turned his head to the side, the child found that there was a black cat on the window sill of his parents’ room, but when he walked over, the black cat had already jumped off the window sill.

After Zheng Tan landed, he looked at the window on the second floor, walked to the flower bed next to the building and squatted. He planned to stay here for a while.

After taking a nap, when he woke up, it was about 1:30 in the afternoon. Zheng Tan woke up after hearing the voices of the two children.

It should be children from the same community. They came to find the child on the second floor to go to school with them.

“Hey, Wang Xing, your cat sent you off on the windowsill again.” A child said, “By the way, how’s the cat upstairs in your house?”

“The situation is not very good. According to my dad, the cat upstairs is seventeen years old, five years older than my cat. Last month, he twitched and fell to the ground while playing with furballs, and his legs and feet were a little stiff. …a cat that used to be so fat, but now only has two or three kilograms left. When I went upstairs yesterday, I saw the aunt upstairs was using a needle to feed it water, and she couldn’t even drink the water by herself…” Not quite Wanting to say more, Wang Xing turned and said, “Are you still going over there this week?” The

other two children obviously knew the meaning of “over there” in Wang Xing’s words, and nodded.

“Of course you will go, and you have to go too?”

“Well, call me when you come over .” “Okay,

but don’t tell your family.”

“Of course. I’m afraid my parents will know.”

after leaving the community.

Zheng Tan didn’t follow the three children anymore, he was hungry.

Decided to go home and have something to eat.

Zheng Tan saw the child named Wang Xing again on Saturday.

In the morning, I followed Dad Jiao out, Dad Jiao went to the courtyard, and Zheng Tan ran around the school.

Exercise is a must.

When they saw the three children, they all had a snakeskin bag in their hands.

The bag already contains some empty bottles, plastic bottles, aluminum cans, etc.

The “over there” they were talking about turned out to be only Chuhua University.

Students in the university consume a lot, and there are many empty bottles, even if the weather is still cool, there are still many bottles.

Zheng Tan followed them not far away.

Watch them pick out the empty bottles from the trash can or rubbish heap.

While picking it up, the three children over there were talking.

That kid named Wang Xing should be doing this for the first time, and the other two kids are still talking to him about their experience.

In addition to mineral water drink bottles, there are those cans.

Which ones are aluminum and which ones are iron, which ones are acceptable and which ones are not, which are expensive and which are cheap, it seems that these two children do this kind of thing a lot.

Wang Xing dragged the bag. This bag was used by his grandmother as a mattress. Later, several holes were broken, but he was not willing to throw it away. It’s all gray, and it’s estimated that it’s been forgotten by grandma long ago.

It doesn’t matter if there are holes. Although there are many holes, they are not big enough for him to hold the bottle.

They can pick up a lot in the morning, and then drag them to the school’s waste collection place to sell.

A full bag, after the various bottles are classified and calculated, can be sold for about four yuan.

After buying it?

The two children kicked money to the Internet cafe and decided to stay there for two or three hours in the afternoon.

Seeing Zheng Tan speechless for a while, dare to pick up the bottle just for this?

But this is also self-reliance.

Wang Xing didn’t go. Although he also wanted to play computer games with him, he still owed debts. He made an appointment with the two and picked up the bag himself.

Zheng Tan had nothing to do today, and just followed behind the child to see how much he would pick up.

After walking, I came to the back of the Institute of Biological Sciences, where there were a large trash can.

Wang Xing saw that there were several bottles in there, and planned to go over and look it up, but when he didn’t expect to touch it, his arm was pushed, and he turned his head to look over, only a black cat.

Black cat again?

Wang Xing frowned, didn’t intend to pay attention, raised his hand to get the bottle again, this time he was not stopped by the cat, but was stopped by someone.

An auntie who was in charge of cleaning the place told Wang Xing that the things in this place are very dangerous and cannot be picked up with bare hands.

This Zheng Tan also knew that because of this, he stopped Wang Xing when he went to pick up the bottle.

After

waiting for the cleaner to leave, Wang Xing looked at the large trash cans, turned to Zheng and sighed, “Thank you.” He now somewhat understood what the black cat had just done.

There was a man in a white lab coat dragging a large trash can out at the back door over there. Wang Xing planned to leave first. Since the bottle here is more dangerous, let’s change the place. It’s better not to hurt himself just to pick up the bottle. .

“Black charcoal!”

Wang Xing paused when he heard the voice over there. He didn’t know who the man was calling, but when he picked up the bottle at other people’s place, he always felt a little guilty and planned to leave quickly, but over there The person really thought it was shouting towards him.

Zheng Tan looked at the person and sighed in his heart, there is no way, he can meet acquaintances everywhere.

The one who dragged the trash can out was Jiao’s father’s student, the big man Su Qu, who is now a second-degree doctor. After Yi Xin graduates and goes abroad this year, he will be promoted to a senior brother, but he still has the same temperament and hasn’t changed much.

Like them, after a few years of master’s degree and a few years of doctorate, their personalities will not change much. Compared with people of the same age who have entered the society early, their personalities are still much simpler.

“Hey, who is this child?” Su Qu asked, looking at the child beside Zheng Tan after approaching.

Wang Xing blushed with embarrassment. It was the first time he did this, and his face was not as thick as those of his two classmates. He hesitated to answer directly, “I’m a passerby who came to pick up scraps”?
