The days of being a cat in Japan

The two cats that ran into the house one after the other were stopped by the living room before entering the cat's nest.

Grandma Fujimoto, who was washing an apron and holding a shovel, asked her granddaughter sitting in the living room, "Where did Mrs. Jian go? I haven't seen him for a long time."

Junko put down the milk in his hand and said, "I just saw him take Ah Zhong out to play."

Grandma Fujimoto said complainingly: "I don't know how to stay at home on a big Sunday, and I always want to go out and go crazy."

Then she took out 5000 yen from her pocket and handed it to Junko, saying, "Since Kenta is not here, I have to trouble Junko. The soy sauce and salt at home are not enough, please go out to the street corner." You can buy it at your local grocery store, and with the rest of the money you can buy something you like to eat.”

As she said she put the money on the table, she turned and went back to the kitchen.

Junko Fujimoto looked at the money on the table, then at the burning sun outside the window, and finally fixed her gaze on Xu Jie.

Xu Jie, who was stiff, didn't know what the elder sister wanted to do, but saw her get up to find a piece of paper, and wrote something on it with a pen.Then he turned around and took out a small shopping bag, and stuffed the paper and money into the shopping bag.

Then Junko approached Xu Jie, squatted in front of it, put the shopping bag around its neck and said, "Please run this trip for me, I have written all the things I need on the white paper in the bag." It's up, besides the things grandma asked for, please bring me a box of ice cream, strawberry flavor."

Seeing Junko Fujimoto's particularly bright smile, Xu Jie swallowed, not daring to bring up the slightest thought of resistance.

Hanging a shopping bag and leading the big black cat, Xu Jie walked on the road with no shelter in the midday sun. The hot weather made him grow his mouth, and he almost wanted to stick his tongue out like a dog.

Mo, who was originally following behind it, walked a few steps quickly when he saw this, and walked in front of Xu Jie, using his stronger body than the other to block Xu Jie with his shadow.

Xu Jie, who was deeply moved, couldn't help running over and rubbing his body on Mo's body vigorously. It stands to reason that Mao Mao is black, and a black cat with longer hair than himself should be more afraid of heat than himself, but in this case it is Still thinking about covering myself first.

Fortunately, the distance these two cats had to go was not too far, but it was just from Fujimoto's house to the crossroads. On the right side of the crossroads, there was a grocery store that sold some things needed for living at home.

The owner of the grocery store is a fat gentleman. When Xu Jie and Mo entered the room, he was watching a baseball game broadcast on TV.

The fat boss heard the warning of welcome coming from the alarm installed at the door, turned his head to look but did not find any guests, until he heard a meow from under his feet, he looked down and found Xu Jie and Mo.

The raccoon cat of the Fujimoto family is a well-known star. Of course, the fat boss who is an old resident here also knows it.

So he turned around, left the chair, lowered his head and asked, "It's the great sage of the Fujimoto family, what are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Xu Jie squatted there and shook the small shopping bag hanging around his neck towards the fat boss.

The fat boss understood when he saw this. The golden retriever of the Fujimoto family used to do the same thing, coming over with a basket in its mouth to buy things for the owner's house. It seemed that this time it was their cat.

The fat boss, who is very proficient in this business, bent down, took off the shopping bag hanging around Xu Jie's neck, dug out the shopping list written by Junko inside, looked at it carefully, then got up and walked to the shopping shelf past.

The fat boss muttered as he walked, "Soy sauce, salt and strawberry ice cream, well, I've got them all."

Speaking of which, the fat boss came over with his things in his arms and scanned the codes for these things.

Scanning him, he said, "It's a total of 350 yuan. The money you found is here. Do you want to take a look?"

Seeing Xu Jie shaking his head, the fat boss put the recovered money and those things into the shopping bag Xu Jie brought over, and hung the shopping bag back around Xu Jie's neck.

Although the weight of the few things that the fat boss brought was not large, they still had some weight for the cat when added together.

Xu Jie bent his head under the weight of the shopping bag hanging around his neck, he raised his head with great effort to lift the shopping bag up.

Seeing this, the fat boss said, "Can't you carry it? The soy sauce and salt in the bag are the brands commonly used by Fujimoto's family. I'm afraid that Mrs. Fujimoto will not be used to it if I change them."

Seeing this, Mo motioned Xu Jie to take off the shopping bag around his neck, and he walked over by himself, arching his head forward, passing through the handle of the shopping bag, and hanging the bag around his neck.

Looking at Mo, who was also hanging in the shopping bag, but walking in front with ease, Xu Jie, who was bursting into tears, once again realized the difference in physical strength between the two of them.

When Xu Jie and Mo returned home, Xiao Jiantai, who had gone out for a walk with the dog, also came back.

Playing wildly outside in the sun for a whole morning, the golden retriever was sticking out his tongue hotly, while Xiao Jiantai was covered in sweat from playing.

Grandma Fujimoto, who came out to check when she heard the door opening, pushed her grandson to the bathroom with some disgust, and said, "Look at how dirty you are, why don't you hurry up and take a bath."

Then she saw the black cat with a shopping bag hanging around its neck and said, "Ah, I asked Junko to go shopping, but this kid actually bothered the customers."

Speaking of which, Grandma Fujimoto cast a reproachful glance at her granddaughter.

Immediately, Grandma Fujimoto squatted down, took the shopping bag off Mo's neck, looked through it, then took out the soy sauce and salt, and put the ice cream on the table.

After finishing these, Grandma Fujimoto praised Xu Jie and Mo with a smile, and said to them: "I fried tempura, and you can have prawns in a while. It is the top sweet prawns from Hokkaido, which will definitely let you A real treat."

After speaking, she went back to the kitchen with soy sauce and salt.

When Mrs. Jian came out of the shower, he saw the ice cream on the table at a glance, and his eyes lit up instantly.

With slippers on, he walked to the table and asked, "Who bought my sister's ice cream?"

Looking at her younger brother begging for a puppy, Junko pushed the box of ice cream towards Kenta and said, "This is for you."

The excited Mrs. Jian took the ice cream into her hand when she heard the words, but before he wanted to eat it, she went to Junko's side to take a look, and then asked with some doubts: "Why is there only one, sister? Where is that ice cream?"

Junko replied after hearing the words: "I just drank the mung bean soup prepared by my grandma. I can't eat other cold things. This box is specially bought for you."

Hearing this, the little fat man thanked his sister with a smile, and opened the lid sealed on the ice cream. After he saw the color of the ice cream inside, he said with some disappointment, "Why is it strawberry flavored? I prefer the vanilla flavor."

Junzi twitched the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "Who said you didn't buy it yourself, people who eat ready-made things, they have to eat what others buy."

Xiao Jiantai was surprised for a while when he heard the words, his mouth grew wide, and after thinking about it, he felt that he was speechless.

Little Fatty, who didn't dare to say anything more, silently divided the box of strawberry ice cream into two with a spoon, then pointed to one of them and asked, "Sister, do you really not want to eat it?"

Junko replied after hearing the words: "I won't eat it, you can eat it yourself."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jian leaned out and shouted towards the kitchen: "Grandma, do you want ice cream?"

Grandma Fujimoto, who was cooking, heard the words and said, "Grandma won't eat it, so Kenta will eat it."

Seeing this, Xiao Pangdun dug a large spoonful of ivy into the box with a spoon, but saw his golden retriever squatting there, looking at him pitifully.

Jiantai glanced back and forth a few times, and found that no one was paying attention, so she quietly dug out a spoonful and put it on Ah Zhong's food plate.

The golden retriever wagging its tail cheerfully went to lick the ice cream.

At this time, Grandma Fujimoto came out of the kitchen with two pet bowls, handed them to Xu Jie and Mo and said, "It's a hot day, you also drink some mung bean soup to relieve the heat, don't worry, I didn't put sugar for you." .”

Hearing this, Xu Jie lowered his head and sniffed the bowl of mung bean soup. The unsweetened mung bean soup smelled like beans.

Xu Jie didn't like this taste, but he knew it was a good thing to dispel the heat, so he held back and licked it slowly.

Mo had never drank mung bean soup before, but when he saw Xiao Lihua drank it, he lowered his head and wanted to have a taste.

It's a pity that the bowl Grandma Fujimoto brought them was a bit small, and Mo touched its beard as soon as he lowered his head to the side of the bowl, and after several tries back and forth, Mo finally drank the contents of the bowl.

Holding his breath, Xu Jie only drank more than half of the bowl and stopped drinking, but the Mo beside him drank the whole bowl.

Xiao Jiantai also ate up his own ice cream at this time, but he was already a little hungry after going out for a whole morning, and a box of ice cream could not fill him up.

So the little fat man rubbed his stomach and shouted to the kitchen: "Grandma, what are we having for lunch?"

He had just finished asking when the sound of something being fried came from the kitchen, and then Grandma Fujimoto said, "We're having ochazuke and tempura today."

Both of these are what Little Fatty likes to eat, so he waited there with bright eyes.

Soon Grandma Fujimoto served lunch to her grandchildren. The light ochazuke, served with fried tempura, looked appetizing.

In order to thank the cats for bringing back soy sauce and broken promises, Grandma Fujimoto specially put two Hokkaido sweet shrimps and a large piece of fish in Xu Jie and Mo's ochazuke.

Xu Jie, who likes ochazuke very much, sniffed his rice bowl lightly. The faint smell of seafood made his tail stand up.

Gobbling up their share, Xu Jie and Mo, who were too hot outside and didn't want to move, lay down in the air-conditioned room and silently combed each other's hair.
