Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 141

[Chapter 130 The Sparrow and the Honghu (Supplement 1.23)]

After shouting, the woman poured a cup of cold tea out and pulled the window vigorously.

Zheng Tan put his eyes back on the student who was criticized as “intelligence like a cat”. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be immune to such words. After hearing this, there was no change in his face, and he could see from his eyes. Not much volatility, apparently this has happened more than once.

The man pulled a stick of hay from the corner and came over to tease the cat, but Zheng Tan didn’t intend to ignore him, he lifted his foot and continued to walk forward, looking at the surrounding terrain and buildings.

Turning a few corners and walking, Zheng Tan moved his ears. He heard some construction sounds on the construction site. Looking in the direction from which the sounds came from, Zheng Tan could only see the building located between the two buildings. The boom in the distance, there are too many buildings and people around here, and Zheng Tan couldn’t find a good observation point for a while.

Why does that place feel familiar?

He couldn’t remember where it was for a while. Zheng Tan was wandering in a new area, his sense of direction was a little blurry, and he didn’t think deeply. When he was almost walking, he returned along the road.

When walking back, Zheng Tan passed by the community again, and the student in a high school uniform was talking to another person.

I didn’t know what they were talking about before, the beeping of the horns of the surrounding cars was too disturbing to hearing.

When the car horn stopped, when Zheng Tan approached, he heard a disgusting “hum” and a mocking tone of “Swallow Bird An Zhihong Hu’s Ambition”.

The man in school uniform smiled indifferently, “This is a big difference, how does Honghu know the joy of the bird?”

Zheng Tan squatted on the fence and listened to the two people debate the question of “Swallow” and “Honghu”. You don’t know the height of heaven and earth”, and the other is like “I’m just like this, what can you do with me”.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Zheng Tan also learned that the man in front of the man in school uniform is the “brother” in the “Learn from your brother” that the woman said before, and both of them are high school seniors.

The same school is not the provincial key Chuhua High School, but an ordinary high school near here.

Not to mention who is right and who is wrong between the two and who is in charge and who is less flattering.

After listening to their conversation, Zheng Tan could only sigh with emotion, as expected of a third-year high school student.

Flip the classical Chinese and prose one by one, sometimes three idioms pop up in a sentence, making Zheng Tan, a scumbag, listen very hard.

After a few minutes, the “brother” impatiently left, the man in school uniform stood there for a while, and when he turned to look outside the community, he saw Zheng Tan squatting on the fence.

“Hey, are you here again?!”

The person who had a faint expression just now smiled immediately.

Picked up the hay stalk that was just thrown aside and prepared to come over to tease the cat again.

It’s a pity that Zheng Tan didn’t plan to play with him.

Get your feet up and go home.

Everything in Chuhua University is still the same, and it seems that nothing has changed, however.

When Zheng Tan went back, he heard a middle-aged couple from a shop outside the school talking about the abandoned project and the conversion of the commercial plaza.

Compared with those large commercial squares such as the central square, this new square is definitely smaller, but there are many schools around here, besides Chuhua University, there are also some other schools.

Students’ money is easier to earn, and some vendors have already begun to discuss countermeasures.

Apart from that, it seems that housing buildings are still to be built. The couple didn’t know much about it, so Zheng Tan could only know a rough idea after hearing from them.

No wonder the construction site felt familiar.

It turned out to be that place. I heard Wei Ling mention it a while ago, and I think it was Ye Hao who had achieved his goal.

It’s good to build it, there is more place to play, but I don’t know how many years it will take to build it. I hope Ye Hao and the others are more efficient.

The next day, Zheng Tan was still walking along the same road he walked yesterday. When he came to the community, he saw the man in the school uniform from yesterday. The guy seemed to be going out. After seeing Zheng Tan, he nagged a few words, as if Was in a hurry and didn’t say much.

The boy in school uniform didn’t wear his school uniform today, he changed into a casual, cheap sports suit. When he was walking out of the community, the woman yelled at the window a few times, and it was nothing more than those few words that reprimanded the boy in school uniform, “I don’t work hard all day long.” I only know how to play”, because seeing Zheng Tan again, the woman despised the cat’s IQ once again.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the community, the man in school uniform met an acquaintance, probably a neighbor.

“Zhong Yan, you’re on a monthly vacation? How is this monthly exam?” the man asked.

“That’s it.” Zhong Yan said helplessly.

“Hey, you really have to learn from your brother. Yesterday, I heard that your brother didn’t go to bed until eleven o’clock at night when he did the test questions. This monthly test is estimated to be in the top ten of the class again…”

That person blah blah blah After talking about it, Zhong Yan’s expression didn’t change, and after half listening, he excused himself and left.

When he was leaving, Zheng Tan also saw the man shaking his head at Zhong Yan’s back, with a sigh like “You can’t teach a child.”

Zheng Tan looked at the boy named Zhong Yan who was walking away, moved the tip of his tail, thought about it, and followed.

He just wanted to see where the kid was going to play.

When passing an alley, Zhong Yan bought wine at a shop at the entrance of the alley and walked into the alley.

The alley is relatively old. Zheng Tan saw it when he passed by yesterday, but he didn’t go in to take a closer look. Now he followed Zhong Yan through the alley and found that the buildings on the other side of the alley had been demolished.

Standing at the exit on the other side of the alley, Zheng Tan could see the construction site not far away.

It is not the place where the project is abandoned, but the old building area that has just been demolished.

It seems that the scope of this work is quite large.

A big project, no wonder Ye Hao made so many preparations before.

Zhong Yan looked around after exiting the alley, and then walked in one direction.

The building in this area was not surrounded by baffles, and Zhong Yan’s destination was a temporary duty room, where a few people gathered and the smoke was full of smoke.

Smoking is prohibited on the construction site, and this duty room is one of the tentative smoking places.

Many of the people who smoked in the duty room knew Zhong Yan, and their smiles deepened when they saw the wine in Zhong Yan’s hand. Although they can’t drink now, it’s not bad to have two sips at dinner.

When Zhong Yan entered the duty room, he walked outside the construction site with a middle-aged man wearing a hard hat.

Zheng Tan stood at the entrance of the alley and looked over there. The man in the helmet swept around, pointed to Zheng Tan’s side, and came over with Zhong Yan.

Jumping into a low house next to him that was not demolished, Zheng Tan watched the two walk here.

“Is this cat following you?” The man took off the safety helmet on his head and pointed at Zheng Tan and said to Zhong Yan.

“Hey, Brother Ning, I really didn’t pay attention if you didn’t tell me. I saw this cat for the first time yesterday. I don’t know who it belongs to, but I’m quite brave and not afraid of people.” Zhong Yan glanced at the low room. black cat.

said.

That brother Ning just smiled and shook his head, and didn’t bother about this issue any more.

Instead, he asked, “How is your monthly exam?”

“It’s okay.” Zhong Yan replied.

Compared with the resident of the community before, Zhong Yan seemed to be much more sincere when he answered.

“What do you want to do this time?” Brother Ning asked.

“I really can’t hide anything from you,” Zhong Yan scratched his hair and said, “Isn’t this the winter vacation in a month? There’s nothing to do anyway. I want to find some work and earn some living expenses. Ning Brother, is there a shortage of people on the construction site?”

Listening to Zhong Yan’s words.

Brother Ning frowned, “Why are you thinking of coming to work? Your mother doesn’t give you living expenses? It’s not that eccentric. The biological son is not to be seen, but to please other people’s children.”

Zhong Yan rubbed his palms again.

No sound.

“Okay, you guys should focus more on your studies now, get into a good university next year, don’t be like us. As for the construction site, it’s during the New Year period. Someone must be going home, and there are some here. You can’t stop working, if you’re not afraid of hardship, you can come and try it, it’s all simple coolie. I don’t have the ability to arrange the rest.”

“Thank you, Brother Ning!” Zhong Yan was very happy.

“Thank you, don’t worry about the construction site, there must be work to do, but the most important thing for you is to go to university. It’s too late for people with junior high school culture like us to envy you.”

“Brother Ning, aren’t you doing well now? After working for the past two years, you have also bought a house and a car, and your wife and children are on the stove.”

Although Brother Ning and the others have no knowledge, they may not be able to learn technology well in books. , Brother Ning and the others have been doing this for a few years.

“You don’t understand, even if you have money, those people in the society still look at us with contempt. Don’t look at how polite they are in front of us, maybe how they demean us in their hearts, ‘vulgar’, ‘superficial’, ‘turkey turtle’ ‘, I’ve heard words like ‘nouveau riche’. I used to be able to tell myself that those people were jealous, but there are too many people like this, so we can’t deceive ourselves…”

Ning Ge noticed that Zhong Yan was hanging his head. , thinking that it was probably putting too much pressure on the child, he changed his words and said, “But our boss told us before that some people’s intelligence is only limited to books, but some people’s intelligence can penetrate into society, who can In the future, I can’t say for sure now. Everyone has their own evaluation criteria, we just need to live our own. The times are progressing, and those who are not literate live better than those intellectuals, so I’m satisfied. Xiao Zhong, even if you don’t study well, you have a good head, and you will definitely be better than us in the future.”

Zhong Yan didn’t refute or explain anything, but asked, “Brother Ning, do you have any taboos for your boss? Yes, I’ll pay more attention when the time comes.”

“Taboo? It shouldn’t be a problem, you know who we’ve been in… oh, I remembered, I heard that the boss doesn’t like cats, especially black ones, but we The boss doesn’t come here often, and you can’t bring the cat into the construction site. It should be fine, you know what to do.”

After talking for a while, Brother Ning stood up and patted his pants. Dust on the ground and walk towards the construction site.

Watching Brother Ning leave, Zhong Yan said to the black cat lying there, “Oh, I really envy your cats. You don’t have to worry about anything.”

Zheng Tan didn’t agree with Zhong Yan’s words. , When the cat has been the main body for more than a year when he is bored, there is no need to worry about eating, drinking and laughing. What he thinks most all day is how to find fun to kill time.

ps:

That, I’m really embarrassed to drag it out until now.

Yesterday I said to prepare more.

The debt owed will continue to be repaid in the Year of the Horse.

The sound of firecrackers has been incessant since the New Year’s dinner. After midnight, there is another round of firecrackers. It is estimated that it will continue until the morning. It should be quieter in the big city. I don’t know what the smog will be tomorrow.

I wish you all a prosperous Year of the Horse, soon to be rich, healthy and prosperous.

Here’s a New Year’s greeting for you all!
