Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 150

[Chapter 139 The New Year and the Red Packet]

I have to say that the power of that “fish” is really good, and the effect is quite ideal.

Zheng Tan heard the sound of a lot of splashing liquids, as well as shouts and curses that were particularly abrupt and sharp at night.

The stench was scattered, and the toothpick man rushed out of the hut without even pulling his pants up. He tripped over his pants after running two steps, rolled on the ground, and got stained with some dung pits that fell on the ground. Rush into the house.

The impact of the “torpedo” dung pit was too large, and even the firewood stack was splashed. Zheng Tan was glad that he used the firewood stack as a shield, so he didn’t get hit. The toothpick man’s trees in his yard were splashed. .

What Zheng Tan admired was that the hut was quite sturdy, and there was no obvious crack in it.

Of course, there may also be an explosion, but he can’t see it himself.

Although Zheng Tan really wanted to take another look at the tragic condition of the toothpick man, the stench was so strong that he felt sick and didn’t want to stay here for a second.

The noise here has disturbed some people, and the toothpick man’s house has already begun to make noise.

Zheng Tan hurriedly left the backyard of the toothpick man’s house, and had to avoid those stinky drips when leaving.

The villagers who lived nearby didn’t take it seriously when they heard the sound of the explosion. They only thought that someone’s bear child was blowing up a puddle or something. Who knew that the sound was followed by scolding. Just opened the door and wanted to see what happened. The wind was blowing, bringing the thatched hut flavor.

Zheng Tan took two “torpedoes” from the toothpick man’s box and blew one. There was an extra “torpedo” as a spare. Zheng Tan hid it in a tile. Below, you can’t see that tile until you lift it.

And no one would be idle to lift the broken tiles in the corner of the yard.

If you see that toothpick man provoking his own people again in the future, you can use it again at that time.

When Zheng Tan returned to the backyard of the old house, he still felt that he smelled like a toilet. I don’t know if it was a psychological reason.

Still stinks.

To be on the safe side, Zheng Tan squatted on the firewood stack outside for a while.

While squatting on the firewood stack, Zheng Tan saw the three-legged tortoiseshell cat, who was running briskly by the backyard of the old house with a fat mouse in his mouth.

All three legs move faster than some cats.

Are tortoiseshells so good?

Zheng Tan shook his ears, no matter what, he admired that three-legged cat.

About twenty minutes later, Mr. Jiao brought Jiao Yuan back, and Zheng Tan followed them into the house.

Both Mr. Jiao and Jiao Yuan smelled of pigsty, so.

Even if Zheng Tan really smelled like a toilet, it wouldn’t be obvious. Anyway, he wasn’t the only one with a stench.

Big Yellow Dog sniffed beside Mr. Jiao and Jiao Yuan,

sneezed, then sniffed beside Zheng Tan, and wanted to stick out his tongue to lick it.

After being slapped a few times by Zheng Tan, he obediently ran and squatted next to the old lady.

The people in the Jiao family didn’t pay attention to Zheng Tan’s movements. The people who stayed at home thought he followed Mr. Jiao for a walk outside. Mr. Jiao and Mr. Jiao Yuan thought he had been staying in the backyard, so they didn’t think there was anything unusual about Zheng Tan. Behavior.

That night, Zheng Tan grabbed a small wooden bucket and let Jiao’s mother burn the bath water and take a good bath, otherwise he would always feel weird, and he would be embarrassed to drill into the bed.

the next day.

That is the New Year’s Day.

Early in the morning, the four adults of the Jiao family got up and went to work, and Zheng Tan also got out of the bed and went to the kitchen to have breakfast.

Dad Jiao and the others had already eaten, and Zheng Tan squatted on a chair by himself to eat the breakfast that Mama Jiao prepared for him.

While eating, Zheng Tan listened to the conversation between Mr. Jiao and Dad.

“Let me tell you, the dog here is in good health, not so delicate, and he goes out for a walk in good spirits.” The old man pointed to the yard and jumped left to a plastic toy little yellow duck he didn’t know where it came from. Jump right.

“Don’t you give it breakfast?” Jiao Dad asked.

“Breakfast? No, it’s not your cat. Who pays for three meals a day?!”

After talking about the dog, Mr. Jiao grinned and told Dad Jiao about the toothpick man. Early this morning, many people in the village knew that the toothpick man was pooped by someone, and so far it has not been known. Know who made the move.

According to Toothpick Man’s own memories.

He didn’t hear anyone opening the door to his backyard, and he only heard the slight swooshing sound when the firecrackers were lit. This was what he came up with after bitter memories, and he didn’t know anything else.

In addition, the toothpick man’s new mobile phone also suffered badly. At that time, when he was frightened, the new mobile phone with the color screen flip in his hand fell into the cesspool. It was difficult to fish it out, even if it was fished out It can’t be used, and no one will use it again.

The toothpick man was so angry that his liver hurt, he didn’t fall asleep all night, his mouth didn’t stop, and he kept swearing at Tianliang.

Some people in the village gloat in private. The hatred caused by the toothpick man is too much, and few people sympathize with him, especially his mobile phone. The money for buying a mobile phone is not right. After buying a mobile phone, he shows off in front of people all day long It must be like 258,000, and if you take a mobile phone, you will think that you are a local tyrant.

Since it was New Year’s Eve, firecrackers were set off in the village in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, both Mr. Jiao and Dad Jiao told them not to go out and run. Today, firecrackers and firecrackers will be set off everywhere. It will be bad to blow up people. It is very dangerous, especially like Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi. If you don’t know much, it’s easy to get into trouble.

Simply Jiao’s father told them to stay at home directly.

Zheng Tan watched them busy moving tables, placing candlesticks, incense burners, etc.

Candles and incense are also lit during the New Year’s Eve dinner, and some even burn paper.

It used to be a legend, a tradition handed down from ancestors, asking the gods to bless, praying for good fortune, praying for longevity.

Now it is a custom, so that people have a kind of psychological sustenance.

In recent years, although many people have followed the customs, it is not necessary to do things according to the old etiquette.

Papa Jiao was going to bring Old Man Gu and the second old man over to celebrate the New Year together, but Old Man Gu refused.

Jiao Wei brought over a few firecrackers, all of which he and some peers in the village rolled by himself. The big red paper was as thick as Jiao Yuan’s arm. Zheng Tan felt a little trembling when he saw it.

The other two used other paper rolls, smaller ones, for Jiao Yuan to play with.

Here they call this big firecracker “Chunlei” and put it at the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Before Zheng Tan thought that there were too many people setting off firecrackers in the village, but when it was time for the New Year’s dinner, he realized that what he saw before was trivial.

Jiao Yuan helped Jiao Dad move out the firecrackers he bought.

After disassembling and arranging it, it was placed on the open ground in front of the old house. Before the meal, Jiao Dad took the incense and lit it.

“Come on, close the door, everyone is coming in.”

Jiao Dad ran into the house and closed the door.

When the firecrackers exploded outside, the debris was thrown all over the place, the door was not closed, and the debris could fly into the house.

Zheng Tan squatted at the window, watching the crackling firecrackers outside and the smoke rising from the firecrackers.

If only every household in the city set off firecrackers.

Estimated to be “smog” for a long time.

As for the big yellow dog, it has long been squatting by the dining table and waiting, firecrackers or something, it’s none of its business.

After the firecrackers were set off, Jiao Dad took the “Spring Thunder” given by Jiao Wei and went out to set off, compared to the firecrackers just now.

This time it was farther from the old house.

boom!

The huge explosion made Zheng Tan feel that the whole ground was shaking, and the windows made a thud.

Outside, the firecrackers and the debris from the explosion of the big firecrackers covered the ground with a layer of red.

After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner and setting off firecrackers, the two children were so excited that they went to bed very late.

At around eleven o’clock in the evening, there were very few people setting off firecrackers and firecrackers, and the children couldn’t bear it and fell asleep.

Much quieter at night.

Zheng Tan had some insomnia tonight. He didn’t feel like he was thinking about anything, but he couldn’t sleep.

This was his first hilarious year.

At this time last year in the East District compound, there were many restrictions in the city, and there were only four members of the Jiao family, so it wasn’t as noisy here.

It’s better to be a little more lively during the Chinese New Year.

As soon as Zheng Tan thought of this, he heard the crackling of firecrackers outside, and more and more people set them off.

It is a custom here to set off firecrackers after midnight.

Move your ears.

Zheng Tan heard Papa Jiao’s voice, and after a while, he heard the sound of firecrackers in front of the old house, and he would be awakened no matter how much he slept.

Hearing these voices, Zheng Tan couldn’t help sighing again, in fact.

Too busy and not so good.

Because she slept late, Zheng Tan stayed in bed for a while on the first morning of the new year, and Xiaoyouzi didn’t get up, and her sleep quality was not very good all night.

When Zheng Tan got up, he saw Papa Jiao, Jiao Yuan and others who had just returned from outside. Early in the morning on the New Year’s Day, Jiao Yuan was pulled up to go to the grave, and he was still yawning when he came back.

As a child, there is lucky money.

Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi received red envelopes from Mr. Jiao and the old lady. Jiao Wei and his parents came over and stuffed one for both Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi.

As a cat, there was originally no money for the New Year, but Zheng Tan received two red envelopes from Jiao’s father and Jiao’s mother when they came together in the morning. When he opened

it, he found that the fish slices and pork jerky had nothing to do with Zheng Tan. Basically, they lie on the cat climbing frame made by Mr. Jiao to make up for sleep.

In the second year of junior high school, Jiao’s father and his family plus Zheng Tan drove to Mr. Gu’s house, which is Jiao Yuan’s grandfather’s house.

Jiao’s house and Gu’s house are not too far apart, they can be reached by car in half an hour.

After playing at the Gu family for a few days, I came back to the Jiao family’s old house.

I heard that toothpick men are quite honest these days, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

com heard that some people speculated that he was overcast because of someone he provoked, and he has not been out of the house much during this time.

Toothpick man is like this, fear of being retaliated again is one of the problems, and the problem of face is the second. After all, few people in the village do not know that the cesspool was bombed when the toothpick man pooped.

Visiting relatives and friends has nothing to do with Zheng Tan. He watched the big yellow dogs running around and playing, and he couldn’t be idle anymore. After dinner, he went out for a walk.

During the time in the old house, Zheng Tan became more familiar with the surroundings and was able to wander around alone.

Walking in the field, the old house behind him became smaller and smaller, while in front, in the field extending into the distance, lay several graves, some of which were surrounded by fragments of firecrackers and burnt incense paper, obviously. Some people have come, and there are not many people.

And some are still clumps of weeds, not even a single incense, no one to clean, no one to worship.

Zheng Tan walked forward while paying attention to the surrounding situation, and suddenly saw a few people coming towards the field not far away.

Hey, isn’t that the people in BMW?
