The days of being a cat in Japan

Today is the last day of the New Year's holiday. Yesterday, Mr. Fujimoto took his wife and children back to Mrs. Rie's natal house to see his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Ms. Etsuko also packed her clothes and brought gifts in the voice of Mr. Ishikawa's expectation. I went to see Mr. Ishikawa's family in Kanto.

This morning, Mr. Fujimoto called and said he would be back after ten o'clock, and Ms. Etsuko also sent a message saying that she would bring Mr. Ishikawa to the door again.

This morning, Grandma Fujimoto got up before dawn. After preparing meals for the pets in the house, she began to watch TV while waiting for the children to go home.

A New Year's clip of an entertainment program was being played on the TV, and the content was so funny that the audience who participated in the recording laughed from beginning to end.

But Grandma Fujimoto was absent-minded, and kept looking up at the quartz clock on the wall.

As soon as the hour hand crossed the number 10, Grandma Fujimoto began to fidget. While stroking Xu Jie's fluffy body in her arms, she looked out the window and said, "My lord, didn't the call from Guangyang say that the train is at 9:50?" You arrived at the station, why are you still not home yet?"

Hearing this, Xu Jie meowed a few times in his grandma's arms, signaling to Grandma Fujimoto not to worry, it was only ten o'clock.

Hearing the sound of the cat in her arms, Grandma Fujimoto smiled and said, "Yes, it's only ten o'clock. I'm too impatient."

Although this is what she said, Grandma Fujimoto still didn't pay attention to the TV show.

Later, she simply stood up, put Xu Jie on the ground, and stood by the French window in the living room, waiting for her son and the others to come home.

Grandma Fujimoto saw her son's new car from far away, and found that they had returned. The old lady smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and sat back on the sofa to watch variety shows with peace of mind.

Xu Jie, who had witnessed everything from the side, silently lay back on Grandma Fujimoto's lap, and sighed in his heart that the world's parents love him.

Soon there was the sound of a key being used to open the door from the entrance, and the little fat man, wearing a scarf and slippers, ran into the house while shouting, "Grandma, we are back."

Grandma Fujimoto smiled when she heard the creases on her face, and handed over the oranges she had peeled a long time ago, and said, "Hurry up early in the morning, you are tired, and eat some oranges with your sister to quench your thirst. Guangyang Lihui's kitchen I’ve boiled hot water for you, drink some hot tea to warm your body.”

Mrs. Lihui smiled and said, "Mom still loves us."

Soon everyone gathered around the warming table and drank hot tea. Mrs. Rie brought out the dim sum senbei as refreshment, and everyone chatted while eating.

Mrs. Rie was amused by the program on TV. She drank the hot tea in her hand and seemed to think of something and said, "Mom, Etsuko called when I was in the car and said that she would bring Mr. Ishikawa to visit today. Have a look. They will arrive in about an hour or so."

Grandma Fujimoto was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't it for the afternoon, why are you in such a hurry?"

Mrs. Rie smiled and said: "I heard from Etsuko that Ishikawa was impatient, so they drove here early in the morning."

Grandma Fujimoto immediately got up and said, "Then what are you waiting for, go to the hypermarket to buy something and come back to make lunch."

As she said that, she was about to go to the entrance to change clothes.

Seeing this, Mr. Fujimoto got up and stopped his mother and said, "No need, Mom, we just went to the mall to buy things. Rie said that we will have hot pot at noon, and the things have already been prepared."

Mrs. Lihui also said after hearing the words: "Yes, the things have been prepared a long time ago. In such a cold day, I specially bought two kinds of hot pot bases, both of which are Chinese dishes. When the time comes, clear soup and spicy ones, what do you want to eat? Cook their own."

Grandma Fujimoto nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, as long as you are prepared. Li Hui, you are still so virtuous. It is the blessing of this silly boy that Guangyang can marry you."

Mrs. Rie blushed a little after being praised by Grandma Fujimoto. She stood up and said embarrassedly: "It seems that the time is almost here. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare. Etsuko and the others will come over and eat hot food in a while."

Grandma Fujimoto heard the words and said, "I'll help you two to work faster."

When Etsuko brought Ishikawa Katsura over, the hot pot was already set up on the table, and the table beside it was full of tables.

When Mr. Ishikawa came in, he was holding a stack of gift boxes in his hands, and there were seven or eight paper bags hanging on his arms. He looked like a standard shopping mall.

As for Etsuko Fujimoto who entered the room behind him, she didn't bring any presents, but she was holding a husky by her hand.

Grandma Fujimoto was a little dumbfounded looking at their appearance, and asked in a daze: "What's the matter with you, are you planning to raise a dog?"

Fujimoto Etsuko brought the panting husky into the room and said, "What, if I want to get a dog, I have to claim it, or I will ask you brother to help me get a small one, so I won't raise a big dog directly." , let alone a husky who let go. We picked up this silly dog ​​on the way back. A dog was walking on the road without seeing its owner and without a dog tag. Send it to the police station, the little police officer on duty I recorded it and said that he would help find the owner, but he doesn't know how to keep dogs, and he is afraid that he can't take good care of this husky. Knowing that I am your sister, let me bring it back for foster care."

Dr. Fujimoto walked over and said, "Well, then I'll give it a brief examination first, and send it to the hospital after dinner."

After a brief inspection of the dog and finding that everything was normal, he was first tied to the small yard outside.

Anyway, sled dogs like huskies have long hair and are resistant to freezing. The weather of a few degrees below zero is nothing to them, just add a blanket.

When Mo came back, the husky was crying pitifully in the yard.

Seeing Mo coming in, the husky gave up calling and began to look at Mo.

Mo ignored the stupid dog, passed in front of it, and entered the house from the cat road.

Finding that no one was paying attention to him, the husky started whining into the house again.

Ishikawa Katsura glanced out the window after hearing the sound, and then asked Mr. Fujimoto, "Doctor Fujimoto, is it really okay for that husky to bark so miserably?"

Dr. Fujimoto smiled and said: "Don't worry, the dog will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable when it first arrives in a new place. It's a common thing to be able to bark, and it will be fine after a while when it gets more familiar with it."

Shi Chuangui nodded again and again when he heard the words, and said, "I see, you are really knowledgeable and talented."

Even though he knew that Ishikawa Katsura was being polite, Dr. Fujimoto still blushed a little after being praised, and then Ishikawa Katsura raised his glass to toast him again.

Xu Jie, who was leaning on Mo's body and swallowing the chicken, felt that the husky was very pitiful. He got lost with his owner and went to a place he didn't know. He must be very scared to keep barking.

Thinking of this, Xu Jie decided to go out to comfort the husky.

Climbing out along the cat road, Xu Jie stood on the platform outside the window, and said to the huskies below, "Stop barking, Miss Etsuko has already called the police, I believe your master will find you soon Go home. The doctor will take care of you until then, so you don't have to worry."

The husky shook its tail at Xu Jie and said, "Cat, Wang is hungry, can you give Wang something to eat?"

Xu Jie said with black lines all over his head, "Didn't you call it because you were new to a new place and couldn't get used to it?"

Husky tilted his head and said, "Why should Wang be afraid? Nothing will hurt Wang. Wang is really just hungry."

Hearing this, Xu Jie asked with his mouth open: "Didn't the doctor feed you dog food when they tied you up in the yard just now?"

Husky winked and said to Xu Jie: "Half a bag of dog food is not enough for Wang to eat, half of the belly is not full yet. Cat, what do those humans eat in it? It smells so good and I want it too, you can get some for Wang OK?"

Xu Jie stared at the husky in a daze when he heard the words. He finally understood why this kind of dog was honored as one of the three sled idiots. It is really rare to see such a dog with such a strong heart.

Feeling that it was superfluous to worry about this husky, Xu Jie turned around and walked into the house, saying as he walked: "If you want to eat dog food, the cat can get it for you right away. For hot pot, you have to take it easy. Wait, maybe there will be your portion after the guests finish eating."

Xu Jie's words were nothing more than consolation. With the caution of a doctor, he would not feed hot pot to the dog in his foster care.

That night, because the family members were more or less drunk, the doctor did not drive to the pet hospital after sending Mr. Ishikawa into a taxi.

After looking at the weather forecast at night, he learned that the lowest temperature tonight is only minus six or seven degrees. The doctor looked at the small yard outside the window and said, "The weather is not too cold tonight. That husky is staying in the yard." There shouldn't be any problem. But I'd better find an old quilt for it, so that it can be covered or covered."

According to Mrs. Fujimoto, she found an old quilt from the house and sent it to the husky. After that, the family members and pets went back to their respective rooms to rest.

When the Fujimoto family got up the next day, they were all dumbfounded looking at the small yard outside the room.

I saw the small and tidy yard that was originally cleaned up by Mrs. Fujimoto, but now it was like a typhoon passing through.

The blanket was rolled into a ball and rolled to the corner of the yard, and the old quilt was turned into a broken quilt. Not only was all the cotton inside taken out, but even the quilt cover was torn into pieces.

The things that were originally placed in the yard were all twisted and changed positions now, and the chain that tied the husky was broken by it for some reason.

So as long as the huskies can get it in the yard, there is no place to hide.

The most annoying thing was that after making a mess in the yard, the husky still stared at its dog eyes and wagged its tail at the people in the house, as if to praise me for what I did.
