Chapter 69 Cat
In the dark night, a cool breeze blew from the window sill, and the faint light from the street lamp illuminated the dark figure. The old man in the alley took a puff of his cigarette. He squinted his eyes, turned around and found a few alleys in the dark room.
Dried fish, the old man recognized the cat. It was a strange black cat. Every time he could always see the black cat wandering, it would either run by quickly, or sit quietly aside like a ghost, with jewel-like cat eyes.
Always full of humanity.
As soon as the dried fish landed, the black cat's eyes were attracted to the dried fish. Not long after, a foot wearing a brand-name leather shoe stepped on the dried fish. The person who came was a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a suit and combed hair.
With his back-covered head and human-like appearance, he looks like a gentle scumbag at first glance.
"Dad, I heard that you went to see Xiaoli yesterday? How many times have I told you not to go to her? What are you going to do with her?"
The middle-aged man frowned and shook his head, with a helpless look on his face: "If you didn't come to us, we wouldn't have so much trouble. You don't know how long we have been quarreling."
The old man just felt helpless that his son would tell such a thing. But he was completely helpless and could only keep smoking. He admitted that he might not be a good father, otherwise how could his son become like this?
Where is it?
The old man still vaguely remembered how clingy his son was to him when he was a child. The little child always followed him and shouted: "Daddy". Sometimes, he would suddenly hug his neck and kiss him hard, laughing.
She looks up with crooked eyes, very cute.
When did his son become like this? The old man was in a daze. Did he fail in the exam in junior high school? Was he addicted to the Internet in high school? Or was he far away from home after college? He couldn't remember.
It seems that he knew that his father was a boring gourd. The middle-aged man did not wait for the old man to speak, and said to himself: "I heard that this old house will be demolished soon. The inheritance law seems to be changed recently. I heard that taxes will be levied on this house."
It seems to be in your name, right? But I asked my mother when I was a child. This old house was my mother's dowry during her lifetime. You stepped in and she only wrote your name. Now my mother has been gone for so many years.
There is no reason for you to occupy the old house, so just pay us directly after the demolition to avoid being taxed."
"Are you expecting me to die early?" The old man's eyes widened and he snorted coldly: "Forget it normally, if you don't come to see me, I will come to see you. I didn't expect that you still dislike me, and now you want to separate and relocate.
payment?."
"Anyway, after you die, don't all the things belong to me? This place was originally worthless, and I didn't bother to care about it. Now it's valuable, so of course I have to come back and take a look." The middle-aged man looked matter-of-fact, but blamed me: "I
I'm not close to you. In the final analysis, it's your fault that you still complain? If you hadn't pressured me to do my homework every day and wouldn't let me go out to play, would I have become like this?"
"Other people only go out to play after finishing their homework. How come I'm wrong when I come to you?" The old man couldn't believe it: "You don't understand, but I went out of my way to explain it to you slowly. Do you think I'm suppressing you?"
Have you done your homework?".
"Other people are other people. Not everyone has the same personality. It's all your fault anyway!"
The middle-aged man shouted irritably, and then took a deep breath: "Forget it, I'm not here to settle old scores with you. It doesn't matter to me why you were sorry for me when you were a child, but there is no reason for you to occupy my mother's house.
, if you sincerely want to have trouble with me, I’m not in a hurry, I’ll come back when you leave.”
After saying that, the middle-aged man left with a gloomy look on his face. He was probably in a bad mood because he thought about what happened when he was a child, but he had to restrain himself.
….
The old man shivered and stared at the back of his son as he left. His cloudy eyes seemed to be full of exhaustion. For a long time, the old man slowly leaned on the threshold. He smoked hard, and the white, choking smoke blurred his face.
, the intense grief in his heart made his shoulders tremble constantly and his eyes were slightly moist.
In the beginning, the old man was not very poor, but all his wealth in the first half of his life was given to his white-eyed wolf son.
At first, he didn't want to embarrass his son, so he took the initiative to move back to his old house after buying his son's marital home. After that, his daughter-in-law stopped looking at his son who had taken away all his wealth.
He always thought that his son would change his mind, but who knew? In fact, his son complained about himself in his heart, and the old man could not understand this kind of complaint.
What's the point of living alone? The old man fell into sadness and confusion. He felt as if his heart was tightly grasped by invisible hands, and the pain made it difficult for him to breathe.
"Meow." The black cat made a clear and melodious voice. This voice pulled the old man out of his sad self-world. He raised his wrinkled face and saw the black cat sitting under the street lamp, with warm tones.
Under the light, the black cat also raised its chin and stared at the old man.
"Little guy, are you hungry?" Looking at the black cat, the despair in the old man's heart suddenly dissolved little by little. This feeling is magical. He was obviously sad one second, but the next second he saw the cat, there seemed to be a
Warm light penetrates into the heart, slowly eating away the gloom.
The old man who subconsciously wanted to ignore the grief in his heart said to himself: "Would you like to come in and sit down? I still have some food..."
After saying that, he saw the black cat under the streetlight jumping into the window of his house with elegant steps. This black cat really didn't take the usual route. It was obviously easier to go through the door, but he chose the window instead.
"This is dried fish, dried by myself, and this is ham sausage, I heard it is imported, this is dried meat..." The old man carefully placed the food at home in small portions in front of the black cat, and he did not
I don’t know what cats are really taboo about eating, so I brought out a variety of things, most of which cats can’t eat.
Mo Chuchen is not an ordinary cat, but considering that the original owner will come back, he only took away a small dried fish. He has specially investigated this old man. He has a man who dislikes poverty and loves wealth but is mediocre in appearance.
I have a daughter-in-law and a son who always likes to use chicken feathers as an arrow when the wind comes. Although the character of the son and daughter-in-law is worrying, the old man is still quite good. Although, this old man does not know how to take care of small animals delicately, nor does he understand psychology.
He doesn't know much about parenting, but he has been working hard to create a prosperous life for his son, and he has not forced his son to do anything.
….
The old man watched the black cat leave. He put away the things on the table and lamented the incredibleness of the animals in the world. In front of the black cat, he had the illusion that the black cat could talk anytime and anywhere!
Early the next morning, the old man opened the door. He lowered his head and saw a cardboard box at the door. In the box was a calico cat and an abandonment letter, which briefly explained the motivation and reason why the cat was abandoned.
Just a lot of things to note when raising a cat.
"People nowadays, it's true, they throw away whatever they raise."
The old man was speechless when he read the letter. He picked up the cat and looked at it carefully. The cat was very docile, but not as smart as yesterday's black cat.
