Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 286
[Chapter 275]
Zheng Tan’s impression of Xiaoyouzi’s mother remained in his first year here.
At that time, Zheng Tan felt that Xiaoyouzi’s parents and his own parents were the same kind of selfish goods. It was probably because Xiaoyouzi had been in Jiao’s house for too long, and it was too harmonious and natural to get along with Jiao’s family. Almost forgot that Xiaoyouzi still has a mother, but this mother rarely gives Xiaoyouzi a phone call at the end of the year. Even when they went to Jiao’s mother’s hometown during the New Year’s holiday, Mr. Gu and the old lady didn’t mention Xiaoyouzi’s mother very much. It can be seen that How dissatisfied the old man and the old lady are with Xiao Yuzi’s mother.
However, no matter how dissatisfied, no matter how wrong, it is not pleasing to the eye, but after all, this is Xiaoyuzi’s blood mother.
I haven’t come to see my daughter once in three years, and I haven’t said that I want to pick up Xiaoyouzi to play. Why is this woman here now?
Zheng Tan was in a bad mood, and he had already started to make up for all kinds of possibilities.
If this woman wants to take Xiaoyouzi abroad to live with her, the Jiao family is not qualified to stop it.
The more he thought about it, the more irritable he became. Zheng Tan followed Jiao’s father and listened patiently to their conversation.
Although the atmosphere is not very good, it can’t be kept in the cold all the time, and Zheng Tan can’t find any news in the cold.
Listen and listen, Zheng Tan found out that Yuzi has a half-sister, that is to say, not long after the mother sent Xiaoyouzi back to China, she met the second spring abroad, and then she has now. The youngest daughter, a mixed-race child who is more than one year old.
And what makes Zheng Tan angry is not that Yuzi’s mother dumped Yuzi in the country to live her own life, but that when this one talks about his little daughter, Zheng Tan’s expression and tone make Zheng Tan want to grind his claws.
Zheng Tan was a little worried.
The literary point said that when the original cinnabar mole on Yuzu’s mother’s chest turned into a dazzling chili sauce, should she wipe it or not?
After talking about his little daughter with shining eyes, he may find that this is not a good topic, just by looking at Papa Jiao’s rare black face.
Yuzu’s mother coughed awkwardly and pulled the topic back.
“Youzi is in fourth grade this year, how’s your grades? Can you keep up? I’m not very optimistic about education in China,” said Yuzi’s mother.
Dad Jiao gave her a light look, “Youzi was in second grade when she was sent back to China.”
Xiaoyouzi was sent back to China in 2003, and now it is the second half of 2006.
Grapefruit’s mother’s face stiffened, and she counted the years.
“So. I’m already in fifth grade. It’s so fast.”
Dad Jiao glanced at her again, “I will be in sixth grade in September this year, and will be in junior high school next year. I remember what she told you when she skipped a grade.”
Grapefruit’s mother: “…”
Okay.
Cold again.
Dad Jiao usually speaks euphemistically.
It is rare to say such a straightforward face-slap.
Hearing Dad Jiao’s tone now, Zheng Tan knew that Professor Jiao was really not very calm at the moment.
Zheng Tan knew when he looked at Yuzi’s mother’s expression, this one really didn’t know what to say.
Can’t even laugh.
Anyway, when it comes to her eldest daughter, she is more of a guilty conscience.
Yuzi’s mother originally planned to come over to take a look and leave. She came to talk because of a business. It happened that there was a professor who often cooperated with Chuhua University School of Medicine to give a report. She knew about Yuzi’s mother and Jiao’s father. After the relationship, I also talked to Jiao Dad through Yuzi’s mother, in order to go to the Academy of Biological Sciences to observe and observe the red nest mouse more, it is best to get some samples or something. After all, Jiao Dad is the red nest. The discoverer of the mouse also has a bit of a right to speak.
Mice are model organisms in mammalian embryology, developmental biology, etc. Whether it is in the Academy of Biological Sciences or the School of Medicine, some related research is inseparable from mice. The red nest mouse is more special. The publication of articles with high impact factor from Chuhua University has also caused a lot of shock in the international context. Whenever there is an opportunity, it must be seized. The professor obviously knows the skills in this area.
In this way, Yuzi’s mother will inevitably face Jiao’s father directly, and she can’t dodge if she wants to. She knows that she will be scolded, and Yuzi’s mother has to suffer.
“Since you’re here, let’s go and sit at home. Your sister said yesterday that you were back in China. I haven’t seen you for a long time. You two sisters are talking. Besides, you don’t want to look at grapefruit?”
“…Well, then I’ll bother you.” Yuzi’s mother knew that she couldn’t escape this time, so she could only bite the bullet.
Jiao’s mother came back very quickly today and bought a lot of food. Even if she felt that there were many things wrong with her sister, she was her own sister after all.
Jiao Yuan obviously got the letter ahead of time and didn’t have much enthusiasm for Yuzi’s mother. After shouting, he ran back to the room to do his homework.
Zheng Tan watched Xiaoyouzi draw blindly on the scratch paper with a pen in his room. After a few strokes, he picked his nails in a daze, obviously not in the mood to do his homework.
Zheng Tan was lying beside him, just as he was about to give a hug to comfort him, he heard a ghostly cry from Jiao Yuan next door: “Hei Tan – come here quickly, there is a big mouse!”
Zheng Tan: “…” This is Such excuses also have the face to come up with.
Jiao Dad, who was chatting with Yuzi’s mother in the living room, glanced at Zheng Tan, who turned out the window from Xiaoyouzi’s room and jumped into Jiao Yuan’s room again, without making a sound.
“Your cat is really special,” said Yuzu’s mother, who heard the sound of opening the window and looked over.
Jiao’s dad didn’t deny it: “Well, this cat is energetic and unconventional.”
Yuzi’s mother: “…” Isn’t it a local cat?
Also different.
Cold again.
Zheng Tan, who turned into Jiao Yuan’s room, watched Jiao Yuan anxiously walking around the bed.
“Hei Tan, tell me, did Yuzi’s mother come to bring Yuzi back? What if Yuzi really went with her? I heard that her mother is now developing abroad, but her mother doesn’t care about her, and she is bullied when she goes out. No one is covering me. I don’t know what Yuzu is thinking. No, I have to do work with Yuzi.”
Jiao Yuan sat down immediately, opened a blank workbook, tugged his sleeves and started writing, swishing on the paper What was written on it, which was much faster than when he was holding back the composition.
Zheng Tan jumped on the desk and looked at it. The first line was nine big characters—counting eighteen “crimes” abroad.
Listed below are all kinds of bad things abroad, and between the lines it means that Jiao Yuan doesn’t want Xiaoyouzi to leave.
At the end, the words “Think carefully and act carefully!” were written with a red signature pen.
It was rare for Zheng Tan not to dislike the dirty paper, so he took the folded paper and turned it out, then turned back to Xiaoyouzi’s room and gave it to her.
After looking at the words on the paper, the dazed expression on Xiaoyouzi’s face was less, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he replied “OK” below.
Dad Jiao watched Zheng Tan tossing between the two rooms. Although the movement of opening the window was louder, he didn’t say anything or stop him.
Eat a meal.
Although the food is delicious.
But no one was in that mood.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was weird, only Jiao Ma said a little more.
When these two sisters stood together, at first glance, they would not immediately think that they were sisters.
Perhaps there are factors of temperament attire.
but.
If you look closely, the two still look alike.
Yuzi’s mother is not so confident in front of Jiao’s mother, even if she can surpass Jiao’s mother in career now.
He usually puts on a shelf in front of others, but even pretending here is stiff and deliberate.
As for Zheng Tan, who can usually stand on a special chair and eat at the edge of the table, he is now placed on a small stool next to him, watching a bowl of food that he can’t swallow.
Maybe it was the motherhood that was aroused after seeing Xiaoyouzi. Youzi’s mother said that she would stay in Chuhua City for a few days, and it happened to be the weekend the day after tomorrow.
This makes Zheng Tan even more vigilant. It is estimated that Xiaoyouzi can be deceived by exchanging feelings and exchanges. Youzi’s mother has a young daughter, and now Youzi will definitely not be happy in the past. stepfather.
However, Jiao’s father and Jiao’s mother did not mention it in front of Xiaoyouzi, probably because they were afraid that Xiaoyouzi would think too much.
“It’s fine to let the mother and daughter talk, the grapefruit is precocious, not an ignorant child.” Jiao Dad said in the evening.
Jiao’s mother was a little worried, “What if you choose to follow the grapefruit? I don’t think it’s a good idea. This child may not be happy when he goes there. Why don’t I accompany them this Saturday?” After thinking about it, Jiao’s mother sighed again. , “Forget it, since she said she wanted to be alone with you, she didn’t want me to intervene. Hey, it would be nice if someone reminded Xiaoyou.” Jiao Ma still knows her little sister well. If you can talk beautifully, tomorrow will make you want to hit the wall.
“It’s not impossible.” Jiao Dad said.
“What can I do?”
“Black charcoal.”
Indeed, Yuzi’s mother said she wanted to get along with Yuzi alone, but this “alone” definitely refers to people, not Zheng Tan, and Zheng Tan is not worried about letting Xiaoyouzi be alone. People go to face her mother, who is not very good. What if Xiaoyouzi is tricked?
Grapefruit’s mother is reluctant, and Zheng Tan is still reluctant.
Saturday.
Xiaoyouzi went downstairs with her backpack, and Dad Jiao drove her to the appointed place.
The location of the appointment is a restaurant, which is a bit classy, but for children, there are some constraints that cannot be let go.
Watching Xiaoyouzi walk into the restaurant through the floor-to-ceiling windows, seeing her mother and sitting down, Jiao Dad drove the car away.
Xiaoyouzi had a stern face, which made the atmosphere between mother and daughter even more blunt.
Without Jiao’s father and Jiao’s mother to supervise the battle, even if she felt a little guilty, Yuzi’s mother’s words and deeds were smoother.
I ordered a glass of juice and a small dessert for Yuzu, drank coffee by myself, smiled and looked at the bag that my daughter was carefully holding in her arms.
“What’s in the bag? Is it a gift?” Yuzi’s mother tried to make her smile as friendly as possible.
Xiaoyouzi looked at her mother, bit her lip, then took out a small gift box from her coat pocket and handed it to her mother.
Yuzi’s mother looked at the bulging bag, then looked at the gift box in Xiaoyouzi’s hand, took it over and opened it to see that it was a small doll, UU reading www.sonicmtl.
The com material is not very new, and the workmanship is very rough compared to the goods in those stores.
“Is it made by Yuzi herself?” Yuzi’s mother asked with a smile.
The little grapefruit nodded with a slightly drooping head.
“It’s beautiful, I like it very much!”
Zheng Tan in the bag sneered inwardly. True or false, this tone sounded too deliberate.
That doll was hand-sewn by Xiao Yuzu using the materials saved from the labor class and some daily necessities, and the doll’s dress was made according to Yuzu’s mother’s dress in a photo.
I don’t know if it was because of being too angry or what. Zheng Tan felt that the bag was a little suffocated. There was not enough air in the air holes on the bag. Zheng Tan opened the zipper on the inner seat of the backpack and stretched out his head to breathe hard.
Yuzi’s mother just received the gift, adjusted her mentality and expression, and when she was about to speak, she saw the black cat’s head protruding from her backpack. .
