The days of being a cat in Japan

For the notice in the city, the Fujimoto family used all the methods they could think of, from people to pets.

Up to now, they are just doing their best and obeying the destiny. Everything depends on whether someone will come and ask them to send the noise away after the new regulations are implemented.

Not long after, Etsuko Fujimoto drove over and took Xu Jie, Mo and Noisy to shoot the magazine cover.

Xu Jie attaches great importance to this work, because it is likely to be the first and last time they and Noisy will work together.

In order to leave some memories, after the work was over, Xu Jie specially asked Etsuko to discuss with the photographer, whether it is possible to develop an extra copy of the photos taken this time so that it can be stored.

After communication, the photographer agreed to Etsuko's request and said that after the photo was printed, it would be mailed to them.

After that, the life of the Fujimoto family returned to normal. Like every day in the past, the adults went to work and the children went to school, and the pets gathered together to play with each other.

Grandma Fujimoto, who got up early that day, sent away her grandson and granddaughter carrying schoolbags, and sent away her son and daughter-in-law who were driving their big golden retriever to work.

After the cats and birds who had eaten breakfast left the house one after another to go out to play, only she and the white-feathered rooster were left in the house arguing.

Because the day when poultry and livestock are cleaned up in the city is getting closer and closer, the Fujimoto family no longer let him go out to play alone these days.

Even if you want to go out noisy, there must be someone by your side.

They did this because they were afraid that once there was no one around, they were afraid that those responsible for law enforcement would treat it as an ordinary chicken and take it away and dispose of it.

Due to time constraints, the person who took Noisy out for a walk the longest these days was actually Grandma Fujimoto. In less than a week, this old lady and Noisy had established a preliminary relationship.

After simply tidying up the hygiene in the house, Grandma Fujimoto sat on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV with the remote control, and watched the programs broadcast on the TV station inside.

At this time, there is nothing worth watching on TV.

Even those drowsy mother-in-law family ethics dramas will not start until three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

Without saying a word, he flipped through more than 100 channels on the TV back and forth several times, and finally turned off the TV in a dull manner.

After a period of contact, he was no longer afraid of Grandma Fujimoto's noise, so he flapped his wings and flew to the sofa.

Then she turned her head to the side, walked towards Grandma Fujimoto with a pair of apricot yellow chicken feet.

Seeing the white-feathered hen approaching her cautiously, Grandma Fujimoto smiled, stroked the conspicuous orange-yellow wings of Quaker and said, "Are you worried about me? Don't worry, I'm fine. Although you little thing It doesn't look very pleasing to the eye, but you still have a very good temper, no wonder everyone likes you so much."

After being caressed by Grandma Fujimoto, he yelled a few times, turned his head and gently pecked Grandma Fujimoto's hand with his beak, and the itchy old man laughed out loud.

After eating lunch at noon, Grandma Fujimoto originally planned to take a break, but the administrator suddenly called and said that there was an email from the Fujimoto family asking her to come and sign for it.

Going out in the sun for a while, Grandma Fujimoto, who came back with an envelope-like mail, looked at the big envelope curiously.

Looking at the address on the envelope, Grandma Fujimoto found that the email was actually mailed from a magazine in Kyoto, and the recipient's name was written in the name of Kenta Xiao.

Grandma Fujimoto, who was puzzled by this, murmured to herself in a low voice: "How can there be a magazine for that kid Jiantai? The name of this magazine is actually called "Polishing", and it doesn't seem to be running animation or children A place for supplies."

After hearing the name of the magazine read out by Grandma Fujimoto, the white feather chicken, who was originally squatting obediently under the sofa, stood up suddenly, stretched out his head on tiptoes, and looked at the tea machine vigorously by his neck.

Seeing the reaction of White Feather Chicken, Grandma Fujimoto seemed to remember suddenly and said: "Oh, I remembered, last time you were picked up by Etsuko with Dasheng and the others, saying that they were going to shoot some magazine cover, maybe it was This magazine, right?"

Noisy heard that squatting down and pulling his head, after spotting the target, he spread his wings, flew to the tea machine, pressed his paws on the courier, lowered his head and pecked lightly a few times.

Noisy's reaction let Grandma Fujimoto know that she had guessed right, so she quickly pushed aside Noisy, picked up the courier by herself, and looked at it over and over again.

While looking at her, he said: "Then it should contain the photos that Etsuko said last time. No wonder Kenta's name is written. I heard that you have been busy all day for these photos? It must be special. Beautiful, oh, I really want to open it and have a look."

But after all, Grandma Fujimoto was just talking. She didn't just open the express mail of her seven-year-old grandson just because she was an elder.

Instead, he found the photo album at his son's house and wanted to put away the courier and give it to his grandson after school.

Mr. Fujimoto's home is an old photo album, which he brought out from home when he got married and started a family.

Now that old photo album has bulged to a thick stack, it seems that there should be a lot of new photos in it.

These photos are arranged in chronological order from front to back. The first photo on the first page after opening is a black and white wedding photo.

Looking at her husband and herself in kimono, Grandma Fujimoto caressed the photo gently with her fingers.

Next to the old-fashioned wedding photo, there are still some black and white photos.

Some were his husband, some were herself, and of course the most was Mr. Fujimoto, who was still young at the time and didn't even go to kindergarten.

The first colored photo in the album is a centenarian photo of a baby.

Looking at the drowsy daughter in the photo, and thinking that the husband who borrowed the camera couldn't wake her up, and her head was sweating, Grandma Fujimoto couldn't help laughing.

The album continued to flip through several pages, and as the colors on the photos gradually became brighter, the ages of the protagonists on it also began to grow little by little.

Granny Fujimoto, who had flipped through several pages, suddenly focused on an old photo on this page.

It was a family portrait, it seems that the photo should have been taken for some years.

In that photo, Grandma Fujimoto, who has begun to enter middle age, is sitting next to her husband in home clothes. Behind them stand her daughter who has just entered elementary school and her son who has already entered high school.

This is the last family portrait of the Fujimoto family in that era. In the subsequent photos, there is no trace of the male master.

Probably because she didn't want to reminisce about those days, Grandma Fujimoto's eyes only stayed on the photo for a while, then she looked away and continued to turn the page.

On the newly turned page, new faces were added to the photos.

Grandma Fujimoto, who was middle-aged and wearing a luxurious kimono, was sitting on a wooden chair. Behind her stood her son and daughter-in-law in wedding dresses and suits, and her daughter Etsuko who was in high school.

In the following photos, the eldest sister's full-bodied Junko and the little fat man's small round face gradually appeared in it. Grandma Fujimoto flipped through and returned to the first page of the album.

Looking at her young self nestled beside her husband in the photo, Grandma Fujimoto caressed the frost in her hair silently.

Just as she was dragging the photo album in a daze, and before the courier had time to receive it, the phone at home suddenly rang again.

Grandma Fujimoto who heard the sound of the phone got up to answer the phone, and it was Etsuko Fujimoto who called.

On the phone, Ms. Yuezi said: "Mom, did you receive the courier from the magazine to Jiantai? Ah, it has arrived, and you signed for it. That's great, so I can rest assured. I'm working these days We're all crowded together, so I won't go to my brother's house for now. Ask Agui, he's doing well, and we'll see you together in a while. Well, okay, please pay more attention to your health, I'll hang up first."

Just as he put down the phone, before he could turn around, the cordless phone rang again.

Grandma Fujimoto picked up the phone, and it was his son who called. Mr. Fujimoto said on the phone: "Mom, I'm going out with Rie to have dinner with friends tonight. Well, it's Mr. Koizumi. Didn't I ask you Can he help us pay attention to the noise? I happened to meet him today, and I want to invite him and her wife out for a drink. Yes, I’m always sorry to bother you. Don’t worry, I will treat you well. Junko and Mrs. Jian I will ask you to take care of me at night, when I close the shop at night, Miss Tuo Huimei will drop by and take Ah Zhong home."

After telling her son to be careful and not to drive after drinking, Grandma Fujimoto hung up the phone.

After putting away the photo album and grandson's express mail, Grandma Fujimoto suddenly felt that she had nothing to do.

Although Grandma Fujimoto said she knew most of these neighbors in the city, there were not many who were close friends.

In the past, when I went out to chat, most of them said that she was listening, and Grandma Fujimoto felt that she still couldn't get in the way of most things.

Usually, at this time, after finishing the housework, she would take the white feather chicken out for a walk, but today, for some reason, she just didn't want to move.

This state of boredom lasted until the afternoon. After 3 o'clock, Grandma Fujimoto seemed to come alive suddenly when she heard the chime.

She quickly opened the refrigerator to check the ingredients inside, and quickly sorted out the menu for tonight's meals based on the food inside.

Afterwards, Grandma Fujimoto, who was wearing an apron, said to the white feather chicken with high spirits: "Noisy, please go aside and don't make trouble, there is half an hour before Jiantai and the others are going to leave school, I have to hurry up and get all the ingredients for dinner." .”

The white-feathered chicken who had been with Grandma Fujimoto all day heard this and kicked his chin with his chicken paws. Seeing Grandma Fujimoto working hard in the kitchen, the white-feathered chicken shook its wings and went to the side to play.

In the evening, Junko and Jiantai, who came back from school, ate a hot dinner immediately. Ah Zhong and the cats, who had been playing outside for a day, also ate clean and nutritious cat and dog food that especially suited their taste.

Looking at the grandson who was holding the bowl to eat, Grandma especially picked up the rice bowl with a smile and filled the granddaughter with half a bowl of rice.

The granddaughter's club is going to participate in the competition in the county next month. In order to get a good result, Junko has been practicing more in the club after school these days.

Twelve or thirteen-year-old girl is just growing up, and the task of learning and training is so heavy, she must eat more.

Looking at her granddaughter's face that has lost weight these days, Grandma Fujimoto smiled and silently decided to give the children additional meals to supplement nutrition starting tomorrow.
