The days of being a cat in Japan

Hurrah, Xu Jie, who came back from running, sat at the door panting, waiting for the front desk lady inside to open the door for him.

Mo, who ran with it for half an hour, sent Xu Jie to the door of Fujimoto's shop, then leaned forward and rubbed Xu Jie's neck, and then left alone to inspect the site.

The front desk lady guarding the gate came out to open the door for the raccoon cat of the boss's house after receiving the guests.

Just when Xu Jie walked into the gate and the lady at the front desk was about to close the door, someone suddenly shouted: "Please wait for the gate to close."

Xu Jie and the front desk lady heard the reputation and saw a 16- or 17-year-old boy in school uniform walking towards them on an old skateboard and carrying a big backpack.

The young lady at the front desk knew her very well, so she held onto the door and said to him, "Xiu Xing, don't worry, we won't close the door and wait for you."

Hearing this, the young man stepped on the skateboard and kicked hard a few times, and after an acceleration, he came to them almost instantly.

With a few gentle swings, the skateboard immediately decelerates.

When the boy reached their door, he tapped his toes lightly, and the skateboard stopped smoothly.

The young teenager turned back the peaked cap he was wearing, took out several newspapers and periodicals from the large backpack on his back, handed them to the waiting lady at the front desk, and said, "Sister Kazuko, this is today's newspaper for you." Newspapers and this week's periodicals, you click to see the quantity, right?"

Ms. Hezi at the front desk took the stack of things and said, "No need, Xiu Xing, the things you send over are never wrong."

Hideyuki Tanaka raised his head when he heard the words, a big smile appeared on his handsome face, and Miss Kazuko's heart was pounding when she saw it.

Seeing the back of the boy walking away on the skateboard, the front desk lady held her face and said, "Wow, Xiuxing is really getting more and more handsome. It's a pity that I already have a boyfriend. It would be nice if I waited." .”

Xu Jie turned his cat's head to the other side with disdain, not to see the nympho movement of the front desk lady.

At the same time, I was still complaining secretly in my heart: "Please Xiuxing, that kid is only a sophomore this year, the lady at the front desk, please hold your hands high and don't covet minors, okay?"

Fortunately, this young lady still remembered her work, so she stood outside holding her face for a while before returning to normal.

She carried the new newspapers and periodicals into the store, and said to herself, "Look at the time, this summer vacation is about to pass, and school will start in a few days. I don't know if Xiuxing's child is there. Save up the living expenses for this semester."

The Tanaka family can also be regarded as old residents on this street, so the neighbors still have some understanding of their family's situation.

After the Tanaka couple divorced in the early years, Ms. Tanaka's ex-husband said that he was going abroad to seek gold, but there was no news as soon as he went there. For more than ten years, he has not paid a copper coin in child support.

In a fit of anger, Ms. Tanaka changed her ex-husband's two children to her surname, but doing so did nothing but vent her anger.

Ms. Tanaka, who is not highly educated, has been working as a tally clerk in a nearby supermarket. She has to raise two children all these years with a low salary. One can imagine the hardships involved.

But what makes her more gratified is that her two children are very sensible.

The eldest son, Xiuxing, has a cheerful personality and excellent academic performance. He was admitted to a well-known private school in junior high and high school, and he was the one with tuition reduction and scholarships.

As for the youngest daughter, Yazi, although she is not as good in studies as her son, she is still smart, especially in fine arts and paintings.

This made her teachers willing to take the initiative to reduce tuition fees, just to not delay a good seedling.

These two children have helped Ms. Tanaka share the burden of life since junior high school. Xiuxing has to come out every rest day to deliver newspapers to various households.

Although Yazi does not go out to work, she will take over all the housework, and this year she began to keep her favorite paintings in the studio, asking the teacher to help sell them.

Ms. Tanaka was very pleased that the two children were so sensible and caring.

So even though her life was not considered rich, she never complained about anything.

Hideyuki Tanaka delivered newspapers and periodicals to merchants and residents one by one according to their addresses on a skateboard. He has been doing this work for more than three years, and he has not made any mistakes since the beginning.

Hideyuki only spent a small part of the rewards from this part-time job on herself.

Because his school waived almost all the tuition fees for him, and the scholarship he received every semester was enough for his living expenses.

Therefore, Hideyuki spent most of the part-time salary on his younger sister Ako.

Although Yazi's studio teacher also waived her tuition fees.

But anyone who has studied fine arts knows that the most expensive thing to study fine arts is never the tuition fee, but the cost of pens, paper and painting materials that are consumed daily.

Even if you are saving money, you still need to use what you should use. Thinking that your younger sister will participate in an important painting and calligraphy competition next month, Xiuxing decided to add a new box of watercolors to her after receiving her salary.

Under the sun, Xiu Xing looked at his backpack, there was only the last newspaper left, and he could go home after delivering it.

Thinking of this, Hideyuki Tanaka, who was suddenly full of strength, continued to skate towards the last goal of the day on the skateboard.

Xu Jie, who returned to his little nest, immersed himself in licking the clear water in his food bowl. Going for a run under the sun at noon in autumn was simply a test for Plush.

After drinking the water, Xu Jie jumped into his padded nest, intending to take a nap to replenish his strength. Before he closed his eyes, he was still thinking about what kind of 'snack' Mo would bring him for today's afternoon tea.

Xu Jie, who was sleeping, dreamed that he seemed to be next to a stove, and the fur all over his body was added to the stove next to him, successfully waking up the cat, Xu Jie.

The dazed Xu Jie opened his eyes and found that there was really a 'stove' next to him.

Mo, who didn't know when he came over, was lying on his side and sleeping next to it.

Although they are already together, Xu Jie really rarely sees Mo like this, because Xu Jie usually goes to bed earlier and wakes up later than him.

Knowing that Mo was here to give him afternoon tea, he realized that he was still awake so he didn't call him.

Thinking of this, Xu Jie looked up and looked around, and found the afternoon tea brought by Mo on the side of the cushion.

A plastic bag contains boiled noodles and mixed vegetables and meat.

Xu Jie almost dropped his jaw when he saw the 'snack' that Mo brought over, so which restaurant did Mo really succeed in breaking into the back kitchen?

Otherwise, where did these various 'snacks' come from?

Seeing the noodles in the bag filled with memories, Xu Jie couldn't help swallowing.

But then Xu Jie remembered the reason for his diet failure. Although in the final analysis it was because he couldn't control his mouth, if Mo hadn't brought those delicious things on purpose, his diet plan wouldn't have failed so completely.

Thinking of this, Xu Jie, who suddenly wanted to play a prank, climbed onto Mo's body lightly, rolled up on the ribs of his upper limbs, and lay down.

Xu Jie, who felt that he had successfully played a prank, turned his body and thought, since Mo, you don't dislike my fatness, then please feel my weight now.

Xu Jie thought that if he lay down for a while, Mo would wake up due to the pressure of his weight.

Unexpectedly, after more than ten minutes, Mo was still sound asleep, without any sign of waking up.

So Xu Jie just lay on his stomach and fell asleep again.

Hearing the little raccoon snoring on his body, Mo opened his eyes and raised his head to look at his body, then lay back down again, and continued to let the little raccoon use him as a bed without moving. .

By the time Xu Jie woke up, the time for afternoon tea had already passed.

Xu Jie looked up at the wall clock, it was almost time for dinner.

Startled, Xu Jie hurriedly jumped off Mo's body, and looked down to see that Mo's eyes were open, so Xu Jie asked, "Why didn't you call me when you woke up?"

Mo wagged his tail and said, "You didn't bark because you were too deep asleep."

Xu Jie stepped on his feet and turned around and said, "Why don't you get up? Is your body numb?"

Mo Wenyan didn't say anything, but from the way it lay on the ground and couldn't get up, Xu Jie felt that he guessed it right.

While they were talking, Xu Jie suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from Mo's abdomen.

Hearing the sound, it looked up at Mo suspiciously, and Mo said aggrievedly, "I didn't have time for lunch, and I didn't have afternoon tea either."

Hearing this, Xu Jie said anxiously, "Why didn't you tell me earlier when you didn't eat?"

Then it dragged the bag of noodles over with a plastic bag in its mouth.

Mo, who was lying on the ground, raised his head to indicate that he was too numb to move, and looked at Xu Jie expectantly.

Although Xu Jie knew that more than [-]% of this guy must be cheating, after all, there is still a difference between numbness and hemiplegia.

But hearing Mo's gurgling belly, Xu Jie still couldn't hold back, picked up a noodle from the plastic bag, tilted his head and fed it to Mo.

Mo stretched out his head, started from the bottom of the noodles and went up, rolling his tongue to eat.

When it bit the top, it still didn't forget to take the opportunity of rolling the noodles and lick the little raccoon's lips with its tongue.

Xu Jie, who was taken advantage of after feeding him a meal, lightly pressed Mo's head with his paw, signaling it to be more honest.

Even so, Xu Jie's feeding movements are not slow at all, because he knows that this guy has a big appetite, and it is not easy to feed him one by one.

Mo, who was in a good mood, stared lingeringly at the mouth that the little raccoon was feeding over, and because of some excessive excitement, the tail it dragged on the ground twitched rapidly.

Xu Jie, who was very thick-skinned, blushed when Mo stared at him, but he still firmly fed Mo with the noodles in his mouth.

Mrs. Jian, who was carrying cat food upstairs to deliver dinner to Xu Jie, looked at the one feeding the other two with her mouth curled. He felt that the dinner he brought up should be useless.

So the angry little fat man took the cat food down again, and swore that he would never send cat food upstairs again.
