Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 300

[Chapter 289 Returning to the South Again]

I heard that doing similar things with the same pattern every day makes time go by very fast.

Zheng Tan thought so too.

Eating, sleeping, walking around, occasionally watching lively and overhearing some gossip, and then looking at the calendar, I found that, oh, it turns out that the days have passed inadvertently.

Zheng Tan was lying on the top of a tall plane tree on the main road of the campus, and the dense leaves blocked the sunlight above.

Not hot, breezy, drowsy.

From the New Year to the start of school, and now until the summer vacation, half a year feels like it has passed in the blink of an eye.

Speaking of which, a lot has happened in the past six months.

Er Mao and Gong Qin got married. Although they bought another house in Chuhua City, they still lived in the courtyard many times.

Heimi has been taken with him. Even though many people in Ermao’s family objected, Gong Qin and Ermao didn’t mind. Wherever Ermao and his wife are now, Heimi lives with them. The good thing is that Heimi doesn’t go out very much, no matter if it’s in college. The house in the courtyard is still in the house bought by Er Mao, and it is still a habit, and there is no fuss.

Xiaoyouzi participated in the preliminary round of the Hope Cup in mid-March, and then entered the final in April, where she won the first prize. The medals and certificates were all placed in a drawer by Xiaoyouzi, and they were not displayed to show off.

There are many children in the compound who have won similar awards, even if it is not the Hope Cup, there are other cups and other competitions.

Jiao Yuan and the others also won some competition awards, but they were not in mathematics.

There are students from fourth grade to sixth grade who participate in similar competitions. The fourth grade is mainly to exercise and prepare for other exams in the future. The fifth grade students have slightly higher goals.

As for the sixth grade students like Xiaoyouzi, most of the competitions are combined with the “Xiaoshengchu” examination. In the enrollment of some key middle schools, the medals of the Hope Cup and other competitions are all important “stepping blocks”, a competition medal, Undoubtedly in the “Little Shengchu”, it will have a great advantage.

It is precisely because of this that many parents start to apply for various remedial classes when their children are still in the second or third grade, regardless of whether their children are happy or not.

Jiao’s father and Jiao’s mother don’t usually teach their children very much, whether it is Jiao Yuan or Xiaoyouzi.

But both kids are great.

After Jiao Yuan won the award, some schools called to pull people. Jiao Yuan felt that those schools were too far away, too troublesome, and did not have much freedom.

And Su An and the others all chose the nearest school.

This time the little grapefruit is too.

Speaking of small grapefruit entering junior high school.

It has to be said that Jiao Yuan is in high school.

In the blink of an eye.

When Zheng Tan came here, the two children who were still in elementary school became middle school students.

Jiao Yuan and the others have no doubts, a few friends sent them to the Middle School Affiliated to Chuhua University together, but they will have to live on campus in the future.

The attached middle school is a bit far from here.

At that time, Zheng Tan will not often hear the voices of Jiao Yuan and the others during their voice-changing periods.

For Xiaoyouzi and Jiao Yuan, this is a summer vacation with a turning point. For this summer vacation, Jiao’s father has already made arrangements.

One night, Zheng Tan overheard Jiao’s father and Jiao’s mother talking about the arrangement of the summer vacation. During

this vacation, he would take Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi to Nanhua City and Nancheng in the south to play.

Yuan Zhiyi has been flying back and forth between Nanhua City and Chuhua City since the second half of last year. He decided to open a branch in Nanhua City. Now that he has the foundation and confidence, he will return to Nanhua City to take advantage of his father’s stay in Nanhua City. The network of contacts and branch offices that came down is not too difficult, but running around is not enough. When Yuan Zhiyi came to the door after the year, Zheng Tan found that Yuan Zhiyi had lost a lot of weight and was black, but he was in good spirits and full of fighting spirit.

After the beginning of the year, every time I fly to Nanhua City, I will go to various colleges and universities to hold lectures to recruit talents. I heard that many good seedlings have been signed during the graduation season this year.

This time, Dad Jiao went to Nanhua City. In addition to checking the situation of the branch office, running several cooperation projects with Yuan Zhiyi, he also went to visit several teachers from that year. In recent years, Dad Jiao has only sent emails or made phone calls on the Internet. I didn’t visit in the past, but this time I also stopped by to visit those teachers. They are all better friends than Yuan Zhiyi’s father. They were old professors who took good care of Jiao’s father and Yuan Zhiyi.

Of course, there are some classmates over there who haven’t seen each other for a few years, and they all have to move around.

Zheng Tan was very complicated when he knew that he was going to Nanhua City and Nancheng. He thought he would never go to that place again, but he didn’t expect to have a chance to go there again.

When I went there, I was completely passive. I was still wandering around in various crises, and I was almost cut off by someone to make soup. This time, it was different. I was just having fun with the Jiao family in the past, and I felt a lot more relaxed.

Thinking about it, Zheng Tan is still looking forward to it.

Jumping off the tree and running towards the compound, Zheng Tan saw that there was a shade of trees in the compound, and several children were surrounding a middle-aged teacher asking something. Among the children standing were Xiao Yuzi and her classmates. Yue Lisha and Xie Xin, etc., are probably discussing the problems they encountered during the competition.

The teacher, Zheng Tan, knows him. He teaches mathematics and likes to give lectures to the children in the compound. Sometimes, when he enjoys the shade in the compound, he will discuss with some middle school students various solutions to a competition problem. Many of them are ordinary thinking. Unexpectedly, those children gained a lot of knowledge.

However, when many children in the compound were asked whether they would choose a mathematics major in the future, they basically said “no”, because the Nobel Prize did not have an award for mathematics.

Zheng Tan once listened to those children talking about the reasons. The Nobel Prize has established awards in fields such as physics, chemistry, physiology, or medicine, but there is no award for the important subject of mathematics. There are several explanations for rumors, but the college When those children talked, they preferred the first one, that is, Nobel was poached by a mathematician and Nobel’s love was frustrated.

Although this explanation is not considered to be very credible, it is given priority every time it is spoken.

Everyone has a gossip heart.

Seeing Zheng Tan, Xiaoyouzi said hello to the others and went home with Zheng Tan.

Now that many schools are on holiday, they haven’t set off for Nanhua City, mainly because of Jiao’s father.

To be away for a month, Dad Jiao had to arrange the affairs here first. There were more and more graduate students and doctoral students under him, and the projects and tasks at hand were assigned.

Graduate students in many departments do not have summer vacations, but Jiao’s father doesn’t manage it too strictly.

As long as the efficiency is high, the time arrangement is reasonable, and the tasks are completed in a timely manner, those who want to have vacations can still have vacations.

However, in the summer, more students still prefer to stay in the air-conditioned study room, go to the laboratory to do an experiment, and then go to the study room of their research group in their spare time to blow air-conditioning and surf the Internet, and then throw them into the ice machine. A watermelon or something waiting to eat ice watermelon, Yi Xin and others are like this.

Before Zheng Tan left with the Jiao family, he also met Zhuo Kitten, and that little brat would be brought around to play with him every holiday.

This summer vacation, I followed Buddha and others to the north to escape the summer.

Lord Buddha took a few students to a research project in the north to communicate, and Zhuo Xiaomao was just playing with the past.

In mid-July, Dad Jiao arranged the affairs at hand, and then drove the family to Nanhua City.

Zheng Tan moved his neck.

I’m not used to wearing cat cards all day long.

Available in Nanhua City and other places.

He had to be more careful, he had already seen several cat and dog restaurants on the way.

Not only Zheng Tan, but other members of the Jiao family also told Zheng Tan several times.

Wherever he went before, Zheng Tan was asked not to cause trouble.

This time, let Zheng Tan not run around.

Yuan Zhiyi owns a house in Nanhua City, which is still a duplex, but he rented out the house after he went to Chuhua City for development. He came back last year and redecorated the house and kept it for himself. After opening a branch here, he will definitely run away. Be diligent, so there is a place to stay.

“The room is empty, so you can just stay.” Yuan Zhiyi gave Jiao Dad a bunch of keys. His wife and children didn’t follow him. Living alone felt quite empty and lonely.

When Yuan Zhiyi and Dad Jiao went to discuss the matter of the branch here, while Mom Jiao took Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyouzi to clean up the room, Zheng Tan walked around the house and found that where the statue of the God of Wealth should have been placed, there was a Black cat likeness.

What’s very annoying is that the cat has a cat card hanging around its neck, and the word “black carbon” is engraved on the cat card.

Every time Yuan Zhiyi went to Jiao’s house to see Zheng Tan, he had to pay his respects. At first, Zheng Tan was so angry that he wanted to go up and kick two feet. The more times he went, he became numb, and he directly ignored Yuan Zhiyi’s actions.

Just the thought of Yuan Zhiyi burning incense to worship such a cat, Zheng Tan felt uncomfortable, and could only sigh with emotion, how much more amusing.

After dinner, Yuan Zhiyi and Jiao Dad drove to Nanhua University. Today, they made appointments with two former classmates who are now staying at Nanhua University as teachers.

After the sun goes down, there is a road next to Nanhua University by the river, and many people are active here in the evening.

Many universities give people a feeling of being hidden in the city, Chuhua University is, and so is Nanhua University.

The campus is very quiet, but you can see the bustling city night scene when you come out.

Jiao Dad and his classmates chatted together, expressing their feelings about being a teacher over the years, and also asked Yuan Zhiyi to talk about what it was like to be a boss.

“Now the pressure on school teachers is increasing, scientific research funding and teaching work are the sword of Damocles hanging over every teacher’s head. Running around. Grabbing class hours, competing for projects, writing papers, and guarding against some people’s secret tricks and hard work, it’s no wonder people say that when you are a student, you can still do your own experiments wholeheartedly, and when you become a teacher, you will have a rare opportunity. Now…” said one of Jiao’s classmates.

Zheng Tan and Jiao Ma and the others stayed not far away together, blowing the river wind. Looking at the surrounding night scene, he could hear Jiao’s father and the others talking.

It seems that Dad Jiao’s two classmates are now only associate professors, and the results are a lot. Unfortunately, the application for professors has ended in failure several times.

One also lamented that if the old man Yuan had died, maybe they would have been promoted long ago.

It’s not easy for anyone, and everyone has unspeakable suffering.

In contrast, Jiao Dad and Yuan Zhiyi got along pretty well. One was promoted to professor and the project went smoothly, and the other started a company and made a lot of money as an oss.

Just thinking about it, Zheng Tan suddenly felt that something hit his head on the head. It didn’t hurt. It was just a soft spherical toy.

Zheng Tan looked around, his eyes fixed on a five- or six-year-old boy.

The child had a bag in his hand, and the bag contained several egg-sized spherical toys with various cartoon characters printed on them, similar to the ball that Zheng Tan had just smashed.

The kid kept staring at Zheng Tan, and then, under Zheng Tan’s gaze, he took another ball from the bag and threw it at Zheng Tan.
