The days of being a cat in Japan

The raccoon cat lying on the sofa kept tuning the TV with the remote control in boredom.

But after switching around more than 100 channels several times, Xu Jie couldn't find the program he liked to watch.

Feeling extremely bored, Lihuamao finally found a channel that was broadcasting news, and kicked the remote control aside.

After grinning and letting out a sigh of relief, Lihuamao planned to fall asleep listening to those politicians' long and procrastinated speeches, which had no practical meaning at all.

Ever since he chased and scratched Mo inexplicably at the pet hospital of Fujimoto's family last time, Xu Jie, who felt a little ashamed, decided not to go there.

Anyway, there are also treadmills at home. Although they are not specially used for pets, cats can also use them as long as the frequency is adjusted properly.

The doctor has no objection to this. He has been tempered by Xu Jie to the point where he has no temper. As long as the raccoon cat at home is still exercising, he can go anywhere.

So it took more than half an hour for the doctor to explain in detail to the two cats in the family and personally demonstrated the correct use of the treadmill at home. After that, Xu Jie changed his daily exercise to stay at home.

Before running for two days, the doctor discovered the benefits of training cihuamao at home.

Because the treadmill at home is used by people, even the slowest frequency is comparable to the medium-speed professional one on the third floor.

Although it was the same exercise time, Xu Jie changed from a slow walk like a walk to a rhythmic brisk walk.

The rhythm has been accelerated, and the energy required for exercise will definitely be consumed more, so it can always fight against the growing appetite of the cihuamao, right?

Looking at the account book at home, he silently calculated the reduction rate of cat food for the two cats at home this month, Dr. Fujimoto thought so.

I don't know that the cihuamao, who has been silently paying attention to his weight, is lying sprawled on the sofa as usual, preparing to catch up on sleep.

Just when it was half asleep and half awake, it suddenly heard the sound of someone opening the door with a key on the other side of the entrance.

Xu Jie, who was about to take a rest, immediately pricked up his ears when he heard the sound from the entrance, and raised his head to glance at the quartz clock hanging on the wall of the living room.

Hey, it's only ten o'clock in the morning. At this time, Fatty and Junko should be staying at school, and the Fujimotos are running their own business at the store. So who is holding the key to open the door?

Could it be Grandma Fujimoto who lives in the country?

But it shouldn't be. According to Grandma Fujimoto's habit, although she has the key to her son's house, she will call in advance every time she comes over. This is the most basic courtesy.

If it wasn't for Grandma Fujimoto, then Mr. Fujimoto and Mrs. Rie might be the only ones going home at this time.

Well, there are several operations that have been scheduled in advance today, so it is estimated that Dr. Fujimoto is still working in the operating room at this time, and he has no time to come back.

Then the person holding the key and unlocking the door should be Mrs. Rie.

Thinking of this, the raccoon cat raised its body and wagged its tail, lying on the sofa and waiting for Mrs. Fujimoto to open the door and come in.

But when the door opened, Xu Jie was surprised to find that it was not Mrs. Fujimoto who walked in, but that fat little Jiantai.

The civet cat with its mouth wide open in surprise quickly turned around and looked at the time on the quartz clock, making sure it was ten o'clock in the morning.

Turning around, Xu Jie stretched out his paw, pointed at the little fat man who was also surprised, and called meow meow.

Meow, ten o'clock in the morning, isn't this the time for class?

Although it is summer vacation now, but the day before yesterday, the Fujimoto siblings took their luggage to the school to participate in the summer camp. How could they come back without saying hello?

And when I go home at this time, there is no teacher or classmates to accompany me. Is this the rhythm of skipping classes?

Hearing Xu Jie's cry, the little fat man waved his hands again and again, and put a finger near his mouth in a booing gesture.

At the same time, he also said: "Great Sage, don't make noise, don't let the neighbors hear me coming back."

Xu Jie stopped screaming after hearing this, but jumped up and down on the sofa.

While jumping, it bared its teeth at the little fat man, looking like a brat who dared to skip class if he didn't learn well, so he hurried back to school for the cat.

Seeing that his cat finally stopped shouting, the little fat man lowered his fingers.

Then he carefully observed the surroundings, and he was relieved to make sure that there were no other living things in the house except the civet cat.

Holding the luggage and tiptoeing, Jian Tai gently came to Xu Jie's side, and explained to it: "Don't be angry, Dasheng, I didn't skip class. Today is Saturday, and the camp is going to end today. Now everyone I was busy cleaning in the school, and I came back early after I finished my work and told the teacher."

Hearing that the little fat man was not sneaking away privately, Xu Jie stopped jumping, but he was still very puzzled, why did the little fat man avoid Miss Junzi and go home early?

And after the little fat man got home, he still had such an expression that he was afraid of being discovered by others. Could it be that this guy caused some trouble outside?

Looking at the raccoon cat who squinted his eyes and looked at him distrustfully, the little fat man smiled wryly and said, "My lord, don't think about it. I didn't cause trouble outside. The reason why I was so surprised was because I thought there was no one at home. As for why?" I don't want you to make any noise, you'll know it when you come to my room."

After talking about the little fat man changing his shoes, he pulled his luggage and walked to his room.

Seeing this, Xu Jie tilted his head and thought for a while, and felt that the little fat man was not the kind of unreasonable kid who would come back early. There must be a reason for him, so Lihuamao decided to follow him to have a look.

Coming to Xu Jie's room, Jiantai first packed her luggage.

Then he picked up a desktop calendar on the bedside table, pointed to one of the specially marked days and said to Xu Jie: "Look, my lord, I marked this day with a red pen this month, because it One day is my mother's birthday, and I wanted to surprise her."

Hearing this, Xu Jie raised his front paws to rest on the desk calendar and looked at it carefully, and found that the day marked out by the little fat man with a red pen was indeed today.

Seeing that Li Huamao believed his words, the little fat man hurriedly continued: "Originally, the summer camp is held in August every year, so I have time to spare today for my mother's birthday. But this year's camp has happened earlier, So I had no choice but to finish my work quickly, and then came back early after explaining the situation to the teacher. I thought that at this time, there should be no one at home, but who knows that you didn't go to Dad's place today. "

It turned out that this was the case, Meow knew how such an obedient child as Fatty would skip class.

Knowing that Fatty came back early to give his mother a birthday surprise, Li Hua Mao expressed his support by raising his arms and legs. Just say what you want to do, Fatty, and the cat will definitely help you.

After gaining the support of his beloved pet, the little fat man became more energetic. He took down the piggy bank that had been placed by his bed, and dumped all the change inside on the ground.

This little piggy bank is the little fat man's own private money depository, and if there is any left over of his daily allowance of [-] yen, it will be put in here.

In order to give his mother a birthday surprise, the little fat man prepared two months in advance, and he basically didn't touch the daily pocket money for these two months.

Sitting down on the ground, the little fat man began to seriously count the broken copper coins poured out of the piggy bank, while Xu Jie was on the side, helping him bring back the copper coins that had rolled away.

Among the coins full of a piggy bank, the largest denomination is only 100 yen, and the rest are mostly 10 yen, 5 yen, or even 1 yen coins.

From the fragmentation of these coins, it can be seen that the money was really saved bit by bit by the little fat man.

After counting these copper coins back and forth on both sides, the little fat man nodded seriously to Xu Jie and said, "It's a total of 570 four yuan. What do you think we should use these money to buy for mother?"

Xu Jie, who was well aware of the prices in Japan, shook his head when he heard the words. He didn't think the little fat man could buy Mrs. Fujimoto anything too valuable with this little savings.

Seeing the raccoon cat shaking its head, the little fat man himself felt a little embarrassed.

He turned out a passbook from his drawer, opened it for a look, and finally put it back.

The passbook contained the little fat man's new year's money over the years and the pocket money given to him by relatives and friends when they came over.

The Fujimoto couple have always handed over the money to their children to Kenta and Junko for their own disposal, of course, the premise is that the money must be used in the right place.

The financially minded little fat man asked his mother to help him save the money. Because Mrs. Fujimoto helped with the procedures, this passbook and the associated bank card all contained Mrs. Fujimoto's mobile phone number .

As long as the above amount changes, the bank's system will immediately send a text message to remind Mrs. Fujimoto, so that she will naturally know the little fat man's plan, and the surprise will be in vain.

Of course, this kind of thing can't happen, so after the little fat man put the passbook back, he found a pair of trousers with particularly large pockets, put them on and put all the copper coins he just ordered into the pockets of the trousers.

Seeing this, Xu Jie trotted to the side of the little fat man, meowing and rubbing his calf with his body.

Meow, where do cats have money, do you want to take out some for your emergency?

Although she can't understand cat language, Jiantai can understand what her pets express.

So he rubbed Cihuamao's round head with his hand and said: "Thank you, Great Sage, but it's really unnecessary. No matter how high or low the gift for mother is, it's my heart, and I have to rely on myself."

Li Huamao was so moved by the little fat man's vigor, it brought him the sun hat of the little fat man, and motioned him to put on the hat, hang up the keys, and go out with the money.

Nearly a hundred copper plates still weigh a bit, the little fat man held his trousers, and said with a bitter face: "My lord, before we buy gifts, let's go to the bank and change the change into whole money, so we can take them with us like this." It's too heavy to walk."
