Strange Life of a Cat

In the affiliated hospital, the old lady panicked after receiving a call from the guard.

Just now, old man Li fell asleep after getting an injection and taking medicine. The old lady leaned on the chair next to her and squinted for a while. The other awake people in the ward were discussing because of the change of the weather outside, and they all deliberately lowered their voices. When seeing a tree being directly blown down by the wind, some people still couldn't help but let out a louder surprise. The old lady woke up because of their surprised sounds, and so did old man Li.

After seeing the weather outside the window, the two old men immediately became restless, especially old man Li, the first thing that came to mind was that Xiao Hua was still tied to the guard room, and now it was windy and rainy, what should Xiao Hua do!

Before the old lady called, the doorman called. The old lady had left a phone number with the doorman, so the doorman quickly called the old lady to explain the situation after seeing Xiao Hua run away.

Xiao Hua ran away, which made the two old people very anxious, but they also thought that Xiao Hua ran away with the cat of Teacher Xiao Jiao's house, which made the two old people feel at ease. When Xiao Hua was injured a few days ago, it was Teacher Xiao Jiao's cat who took Xiao Hua to the pet center for treatment. Xiao Guo told the old man about it, and the old man Li called Professor Jiao specifically to thank him. The old man Li also said to the old lady in private: He is a good person, and the cat he raises is also good.

However, the weather outside was really not good. Old man Li couldn't rest at ease, so he asked the old lady to pass the phone to him, and he called Papa Jiao directly.

Dad Jiao, who was sorting out a handout in the office, picked up the call immediately after seeing the caller ID. Old man Li is a retired professor from the Academy of Biological Sciences. Although old man Li's research on plants has little overlap with Father Jiao's research direction, the teachers in the academy still respect Old Man Li very much, so Father Jiao accepted it without thinking too much. Woke up.

Hey, Mr. Jiao, has your cat gone back?

Old man Li briefly talked about the things in the hospital. Papa Jiao thought for a while and said, I'm in the office now, so I'll call and ask first.

Excuse me, Mr. Jiao, if you have any news, please reply to me.

After hanging up the phone, Father Jiao called home.

Generally speaking, when Zheng Tan was at home, he would press the answer button when he saw a familiar number on the caller ID of the landline, but he still didn't get through after ringing for a long time. Father Jiao looked at the weather outside, frowned, and called Jiao Wei's parents' phone number, as well as Feng Baijin's phone number, and asked about it, but Feng Baijin said that Zheng Tan had left early.

When Papa Jiao and Old Man Li were looking for Zheng Tan and Xiao Hua, they were still hiding in the grocery store to avoid the rain.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the grocery store is a little weird.

The two young men who were originally arrogant are now listless. One is twisted and pressed against the counter by his wrist, and he dare not move. His face is distorted due to the pain. I dare not let them go, I just hope that the mean-looking shop owner will let them go quickly.

As the store owner said, if you want to let go, you can, you can either pay for it or get out.

On the counter was the fifty yuan that the man took out just now, but the store owner didn't look at it after taking a look, only paying attention to these two young people who were dressed a little differently.

The person standing beside swallowed his saliva. He felt that the wind blowing in from outside was a little cold, and there was moisture in the wind, which made him feel even colder.

I warn you, don't go too far! The young man standing beside raised his finger and pointed at the shop owner and shouted. But it was obvious that he was stern and soft, and his fingers were shaking.

Xiaohua sneezed because the rainwater splashed on her nose, which made the man tremble again.

You can't sell a Samoyed with a smile, and you can't pretend to be a pug. Xiaohua's embarrassing face doesn't have many facial expressions. For people who don't know this kind of dog, the most intimidating thing is always that size.

The two thought about whether the big dog behind was showing its impatience, and when they thought about it, they became even more frightened.

The shop owner didn't speak, but just looked at them with an expression, then the young man standing beside gritted his teeth, took out his pocket, took out 22 yuan and put it on the counter, Is that all right? Don't let my brother go? Already!

The store owner didn't speak, and didn't let go, but twisted it again, which made the man yell out in pain.

Seventy-two yuan and thirty cents, is your elementary school math taught by the physical education teacher?

The young man standing next to him froze. He didn't expect the shop owner to be so serious that he cared about thirty cents.

I don't have thirty cents anymore. If you don't believe me, I'll show you! As he spoke, the man took out his trouser pocket and took out all the things in his pocket. There was a dime in the left trouser pocket, and two old coins dime.

...

The person standing next to him choked up, but he didn't expect to have thirty cents. Putting all three coins on the counter, he looked at the shop owner, Is it okay this time?

The store owner shook his head, looked at the man and said, Last chance.

It hurts, it hurts! Damn it, hurry up and give me the money! The person whose wrist was pinned yelled at his companion.

The person standing next to him put another 50 on the counter with a distressed expression, and then hurried away with his companion.

The man wanted to take away the 50 that was placed on the counter before, but found that a finger had already pressed the corner of the 50.

Reluctantly looking at the 50 on the counter, the man let out a hum, was pulled by his companions, and walked towards the door after picking up his things. It doesn't matter if you smash the store, but I didn't expect to turn around and kick my foot on a shelf, and the toes of the flip flops were hit so painfully, I wanted to scold my mother, I was just about to scold to vent my anger and aggrievedness , I heard two dogs barking behind me.

Wow!

Xiaohua stood up and looked at the two people. It felt something bad from the two people, so it just called twice as a test, and reminded the other party not to come this way.

Xiao Hua looked huge when she was lying there, but she felt even bigger when she stood up, and her every move was very eye-catching. But Zheng Tan didn't stop Xiao Hua, he felt that these two young people didn't have the guts to come and confront Xiao Hua, not to mention that the shop owner is not an easy one. He can control people with one shot, and he is definitely not weak in a real fight. He is much more arrogant than these two strong outsiders.

The two young men choked on Xiao Hua's dog barking, looked at each other, and didn't plan to scold anymore, so they left quickly.

What's going on? The person who ran to the room behind the house to take a nap was awakened by two barking dogs, and bravely opened the door to have a look.

After seeing the two people at the door, he raised his eyebrows, looking for faults?

The two people at the door saw that the store owner had helpers, and they were even more unwilling to stay here, so they left quickly, and ran into the rain curtain without even opening the umbrella they just bought.

The people coming from the back of the house bypassed Xiao Hua, and walked quickly to the cash register, sticking to the shelf on the other side.

What's going on, boss, are those two finding fault?

It's nothing, you two kids, you don't need to worry too much. The store owner put the money into the money box, only the fifty that was taken out at the beginning on the counter was still in place.

Hehe, you dared to use fake money. You did it on purpose, and you still find fault. Boss, why don't you let them go without beating them up?

What are you fussing about with kids? The store owner moved the fake fifty to one side of the counter, pressed it down with something, then picked up a screwdriver, continued to repair the electric fan with a cigarette in his mouth.

The clerk just woke up and didn't plan to go back to the back room, so he dragged a chair and sat beside him to watch the shop owner fix the fan, and said, he thought the shop owner should teach those two people a lesson The kind of people who go out all day to eat, drink, play, bully the weak and fear that they will not do business should be cleaned up.

Boss, they are about the same age as me. If they don't have twenty, they must be eighteen, right? They are still children. After a pause, the clerk said again: Boss, tell me, what is the difference between children and adults? ? Isn't it age?

The shop owner didn't take his eyes off the electric fan, biting his cigarette: The difference? Children care about who can take them to eat, drink and have fun, while adults care about who can lead them to success.

The clerk curled his lips, neither saying it was right nor refuting it, looked at the box at the door, and said, Boss, has no one told you about your price increase in the rain?

What's there to say, the fare is raised at the station during the festival, so what if I raise the umbrella fee when it rains?

...I learned from you what it means to take advantage of the fire.

No, the shop owner shook his hand holding the screwdriver, I just want to let you know more vividly what it means to be free from fraud and not to do business. Perhaps for many people, no business without profiteers and no business is a derogatory term, but for Not necessarily for many businessmen, such as the shop owner himself.

Zheng Tan squatted next to Xiao Hua, listening to the conversation between the boss and the clerk, and felt that the boss was quite interesting.

Hey, boss, aren't you afraid that this cat and dog will stay here? said the clerk. He is not afraid of being heard by Zheng Tan and Xiao Hua. In his opinion, even cats and dogs who have been with people for several years cannot understand complicated words.

The boss said nothing.

Zheng Tan also pretended not to hear.

On the shelf, the white cat squatted in a different place, still staring at Zheng Tan and Xiao Hua condescendingly, even if the shop owner called it over, it didn't move.

After staying in the grocery store for about an hour, the rain gradually subsided, and it took another ten minutes before it stopped, but there were still a few drops of rain occasionally.

The sky is much brighter, but the wind is still blowing. Looking at the sky in the distance, it is estimated that there is still a heavy rain brewing.

Take advantage of this time and hurry back.

As soon as Zheng Tan left the grocery store, Xiao Hua stood up and followed her out.

After walking around, Zheng Tan looked back at the grocery store.

Because the rain stopped, the store door was opened again, and the situation at the cashier was clearly seen from the outside.

The store owner was testing the newly repaired electric fan, and the white cat got off the shelf and jumped onto the cashier counter.

The white cat looked at the shop owner who was approaching with sharp eyes, and then quickly pawed over to remove the cigarette from the shop owner's mouth.

The shop owner has not stopped smoking for more than an hour. He likes to do things with a cigarette in his mouth.

After the cigarette was removed, the shop owner was not annoyed, but choked with laughter.

Ahem, Mia, this cigarette can't be wasted, it costs more than ten yuan a pack! The store owner quickly picked up the cigarette that fell on the counter and put it in his mouth.

Another paw passed, and it was removed again.

Hey, you little heartless!

The shop owner picked up the cigarette and took a puff, then blew a smoke ring at the white cat.

The white cat squatting there tilted its neck back, probably finding that it could not avoid the smoke rings spit out while squatting, but did not want to move, so it raised its two paws and waved the smoke rings to disperse them.

Seeing this, the store owner narrowed his eyes with a smile, his original mean face became less mean, but Zheng Tan thought of a weasel that he had seen in Father Jiao's hometown for no reason, that kind of animal commonly known as a weasel.

It is not convenient to code in my hometown, but it will not be updated continuously. Once the update is guaranteed, there will be more when I have time.
