The days of being a cat in Japan

Grandma Fujimoto, who saw off the juniors in the hot summer, hummed an old song softly and baked matcha-flavored biscuits in the kitchen.

Today is the day when the monthly Street Neighbor Mothers and Sisters get together.

On this day, someone will notify those who want to attend the meeting place in advance, and the mothers of each family will prepare their own refreshments or snacks, and take them out to share with the neighbors.

In the past, I would rarely attend gatherings like this in the Fujimoto family, because Mrs. Fujimoto still had to go to work and didn't have much time.

Basically, once or twice a year, she would leave the store and her husband to attend the mother-sister meeting in order to exchange feelings with the neighbors.

Due to the presence of Grandma Fujimoto this month, the participants of this mother and sister meeting naturally changed.

Last night, the administrator's wife sent a notice to everyone in the owner's online chat group, saying that the location of the mother and sister meeting this time is in the small park not far from their community.

This is not the first time Grandma Fujimoto has participated in a mother and sister meeting in the city. When she visits her son's side, she occasionally encounters such days.

So Grandma Fujimoto, who happened to be bored recently, happily agreed to this invitation, and prepared the biscuits, rice balls and hot tea in advance.

Find the picnic basket and large canvas, and pour the hot brewed tea into the kettle with heat preservation function.

The biscuits and plum rice balls are packed in lunch boxes, and it is enough to bring a dozen disposable water glasses and some cat food and dog food.

Picking up the picnic basket, bringing the keys and change, Grandma Fujimoto opened the door and said to Bai Yuji and Ah Zhong who were playing in the house: "You two stop making trouble, hurry up and we are leaving, and goodbye Going to sleep, Guangyang specifically told you to control your weight and exercise more."

Noisy and the big golden retriever, who had been thrashing about each other, separated immediately after hearing the words, and they both accelerated and ran towards Grandma Fujimoto.

As for Xu Jie, who was dozing off on the sofa, he got up lazily upon hearing this.

After locking the door, Grandma Fujimoto bent down and tied the golden retriever that kept wagging its tail like herself on the leash, and at the same time said to the white feather chicken: "When you cross the road in a while, follow us closely, don't You got lost. Otherwise, someone else will catch you, and if you fail, you will be stewed into chicken soup."

These days, those who have already known their position in the human diet have repeatedly said that they will never run around, and must follow closely.

As for Xu Jie, it had already climbed onto the basket carried by Grandma Fujimoto one step earlier, and was hanging on it, waiting for someone to carry it away.

Grandma Fujimoto, who was walking on the road with a cat and a dog in a basket and a white-feathered rooster behind her, had a very high rate of turning heads.

Fortunately, the old lady who occasionally went out with Xu Jie and the others was very familiar with this, and continued on her way with her things and animals calmly.

After crossing the road and walking for less than 5 minutes, Grandma Fujimoto appeared in front of the meeting place of the Mothers and Sisters Association, the small community park.

Granny Fujimoto, who stopped in her tracks, checked herself carefully, and after finding that there was nothing inappropriate, she walked towards the small park with big strides.

The people who will come to the mother and sister meeting are basically housewives who specialize in taking care of their husbands and children at home.

These wives who have time and space focus on gatherings other than their husbands and children.

Every mother and sister meeting is a place for wives to show off their culinary skills and ingenuity.

Of course, most of the people who really care about this are some young daughter-in-laws. People like Grandma Fujimoto whose grandsons have started primary school don't bother to compete for strengths in these places.

Avoiding the little daughter-in-laws competing for beauty on the bento, Grandma Fujimoto, who was carrying a basket, stood on the periphery of the party and scanned around. Under a big cedar tree, the manager's wife and several old sisters from the same building were He waved at her vigorously.

Seeing this, Grandma Fujimoto smiled over there, indicating that they had already seen it.

Then he took Xu Jie, Awang and Noisy, turned around other people on the lawn, and walked towards the administrator's wife.

Looking at the big picnic basket brought out by Grandma Fujimoto, the manager's wife, who knows her temper, is sure that there must be a big canvas inside.

Regarding this, the manager's wife, who was worried about the lack of space, said with bright eyes: "Fortunately, you came quickly, otherwise we will only be able to go to the grass in a while."

A group of old ladies who were talking and laughing helped each other to tear off the big canvas brought by Grandma Fujimoto. After it was not on the ground, everyone sat back on it.

When we got here, we basically knew people. After putting down the basket, Grandma Fujimoto untied the leash tied around the big golden retriever's neck, patted the dog's head that was still wearing a bite-resistant mask and said, "Okay, here we are. You are also free, take the noise to the side to play, don't run far away?"

Speaking of which, Grandma Fujimoto took out their two favorite toys from the picnic basket, and threw out an old tennis tree.

Xu Jie, who was not interested in these things, got off the basket, found a suitable position on the canvas, lay down and planned to continue to catch up on sleep.

Grandma Fujimoto looked at the lazy raccoon cat and rubbed her temples with a headache.

What's so good about this kind of cat who can't catch mice or guard the house, but only eats, eats and sleeps?I really don't understand why so many people like it.

The grandson said that the raccoon cat is called Moe, but Grandma Fujimoto doesn't know what Moe is. She only knows that it's a good thing that this cat lives in the city. If it was in their countryside, cats that don't know how to prey on their own would have starved to death long ago.

Looking at the two chasing in the direction of the tennis balls, the manager's wife helped Grandma Fujimoto take out the things in her picnic basket and asked, "Hexiang, I heard that in a few days the government will give you more money." Broiler chickens and laying hens are not allowed to be raised in the city. If this is the case, what will happen to your house? Although we all know that it is a pet, no one can change the breed."

Grandma Fujimoto sighed softly when she heard the words and said, "Oh, my son and daughter-in-law have been worrying about this matter again recently, but there is no good solution. Anyway, we have tried all the methods we can think of. , if it is really useless, then you can only take the noise back to the countryside and raise it with me for a while."

The manager's wife said regretfully after hearing the words: "That's really a pity. I've never seen such a smart and cute chick as Noisy. I guess I won't see it for a while."

Speaking of this, the lady looked at the sweet raccoon cat curled up sleeping on the canvas and said, "Fortunately, there is still the Great Sage, otherwise there would be no mascot in our community."

While talking, everyone took out the food they had brought out and arranged it.

According to the usual rules of the mother and sister meeting, everyone will come to participate one after another from 10:11 to [-]:[-]. During lunch time, everyone will share the food they brought.

After the dinner, they will get together to drink tea and chat, and some young daughters-in-law will get together to play some games.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, some people gradually left the Mother and Sister Association, because whether it is a kindergarten or a primary and secondary school, school ends at three or four o'clock here.

Just when Grandma Fujimoto began to distribute the small biscuits she made to her old sisters, suddenly several people with cameras and microphones appeared in the small park.

The appearance of these people attracted the attention of the aunts and sisters at the Mothers and Sisters Association. As the initiator of this gathering, the administrator's wife got up and walked over there.

The administrator's wife briefly negotiated with the other party, then came back, and then said to the neighbors who came to the party: "There is a variety show on the TV station over there. It has nothing to do with us. Don't worry about them, everyone, let's continue playing with our own."

In the grass not far from Grandma Fujimoto and the others, Noisy is competing to play tennis with the big golden retriever.

This game is the two of them's favorite game. For an old tennis ball, the two can happily spend a whole day outside at night.

Sasha, Sasha, Sasha, suddenly there was such a sound in the grass not far from the chicken and dog, it seemed that something was crawling over there.

Feeling something, the white feather chicken stopped the game when he heard the sound, raised his head, turned his head sideways, and listened carefully for a while.

The big golden retriever who had been waiting for it to kick off, after waiting for a long time, saw that the noise was just stepping on the ball, but turned away as if listening to something.

Seeing this, the big golden retriever couldn't help barking a few times, and asked his little friend, "Noisy, what are you listening to? Hurry up and kick off?"

Hearing the urging of the golden retriever, Noisy kicked the feathers next to his ears with his paws, tilted his head to listen, and asked the dog, "Uncle Zhong, did you hear any noise just now?"

Hearing the words, the golden retriever raised its ears, turned its head and listened carefully to the surroundings for a while, and said, "No, Wang didn't hear any unusual noises. Did you hear it wrong?"

Noisy heard Yan Hu flapped his wings, ignored other things, and started to concentrate on playing ball with the big golden retriever.

Kumiko Akimoto is the location host of a variety show on a county TV station. Their variety show is based on campus themes.

Therefore, the host often takes the young guests who come to participate in the show to go out together.

The theme of this episode is that young people also have favorite parks. The small park being filmed was recommended by a guest of this episode.

This guest is said to have lived near here for a while when he was a child, so he was very impressed with this small park.

Of course, the childhood memories of this guest lady must be very good, but other people who don't have those good memories don't have much interest in this small park.

Kumiko Akimoto smiled at the guests while holding a microphone and asked questions, while thinking in her heart, how to quickly end the shooting of this boring small park and go to the next place to shoot.

A very kawaii young lady with a beautiful face recalling her childhood in front of the camera.

But in the middle of the conversation, the lady suddenly changed her face, pointed to a clump of short grass not far away and said, "My God, a big snake just crawled over there."

The other members of the film crew heard the words and hurried to look, but found that there was nothing in the direction the lady was pointing.

Seeing everyone looking at her suspiciously, the guest lady stomped her feet and said, "Believe me, I really saw a big snake crawling over there just now."

Kumiko Akimoto winked quietly with the cameraman when she heard the words, and then quickly changed the subject. They came out to shoot the location, and things that had nothing to do with the show, such as Orochi, could be ignored.

The film crew with their backs facing the grass didn't see it. Just as they continued to shoot on location, a taupe snake with a thick bowl mouth meandered from behind them.
