Strange Life of a Cat

Early in the morning, Zheng Tan was sleeping soundly under the quilt of Xiaoyuzu, when Jiao Yuan came over and knocked on the door, waking up one person and one cat who were sleeping late on the bed.

The final exam of the attached primary school has passed, and we just need to wait for the results. After Jiao Yuan finished the exam, he felt pretty good about himself, so his mood was always in an excited state. He often discussed with his friends what kind of things to buy when the time came. Clothes for the New Year.

In the past two days after the final exam, the two children slept until they woke up naturally. Last night, to watch "Space Jam" on the movie channel, the two children did not go to bed until midnight, but it is only seven o'clock now. They used to be Wake up at seven, but after the exams and holidays, they usually don't get up until after nine, especially Jiao Yuan, who sleeps until noon and gets up directly for lunch.

Little kid! What kind of wind is this today!

After hearing Jiao Yuan's knocking on the door and shouting, Zheng Tan covered his ears with his paws, and continued to form a lump.

It's too cold in winter, Zheng Tan doesn't want to wake up either. Since the two children were on vacation, Zheng Tan spent his running and climbing trees in the afternoon, and slept in under the covers in the morning.

"Get up, get up, it's snowing outside! It's all white! Get up and go out to play in the snow!"

Jiao Yuan was still shouting outside, Xiaoyouzi lifted the quilt to get up, and when she got up, she didn't forget to cover Zheng Tan again.

Zheng Tan yawned, it's not fun to sleep alone.

Forget it, get up!

Zheng Tan grew up living in a coastal city in the south, where there is almost no snow in winter, but in middle school, in order to see the snow, he and a few friends drove to other provinces and cities without a license to see the snow. No matter what, Zheng Tan didn't experience snow much, and he hasn't seen snow since he came here.

This is the first snow this year.

Getting out of the bed, Zheng Tan shook his hair, stretched and got out of bed.

Jiao Yuan had already dressed and was washing in the bathroom, with an excited expression on his face.

When the phone rang, Jiao Yuan threw the towel that hadn't been wrung out on the shelf, and hurried to answer the phone. He already had a premonition that someone would call at this time.

Jiao Yuan's laughing sound came from the bedroom, Zheng Tan heard that it must be his little friend asking him to go out to play.

After Zheng Tan finished urinating, Xiaoyouzi helped him wipe his face and comb his hair. After eating the breakfast prepared by Jiao Ma, the two children went downstairs, and Zheng Tan followed behind them.

It was really cold outside, Zheng Tan jumped on the spot a few times when he went downstairs to the corner.

Holding the camera, Qu Xiangyang, who was about to go downstairs to take pictures of the snow scene, saw the black cat jumping in place like a neurotic at the corner of the stairs, paused, said hello, and hurried downstairs, the snow outside would be covered by destroy.

When Zheng Tan walked out of the building, on the basketball court next to the lawn of the family area, Jiao Yuan took Xiaoyouzi and other children who came out to play in the courtyard to make a snowman. Several of them threw snowballs.

Xiaohua, a St. Bernard dog, was pulled to play with the children. It has thick fur and won’t be cold when rolling in the snow. It ran around with several children in the compound, stepping on dog footprints. As for Niu Zhuangzhuang, he is being led by his owner for a walk in the snow. He is not so free. He stops from time to time to lick the snow on the ground with his tongue, and then yells enviously towards the basketball court. Baozi flickered away, and Pi Dian Dian continued to walk after him.

A group of children were playing in the snow over there, Zheng Tan would definitely not join them, looked around, Big Fatty squatted on the balcony railing and looked outside, showing no intention of coming out. Ah Huang came out and slipped around, then moved shyly to the corner.

I heard that the habits of animals are related to the month of birth, just like some dogs born in hot weather like to play in water, while some dogs born in cold weather always avoid water beaches. However, it now appears that such a statement is not entirely correct.

Ah Huang was born in the same month as the sheriff, but their habits are far from each other. Except for the common neuroticism at certain times, they are very different. For example, now, Ah Huang is hiding in the corner of the building to avoid the wind, while the sheriff is running around on the snow. There is a kid in the courtyard taking off the plush hat on his clothes to tease him, and the sheriff is having a good time too. Come on, the only cat footprints in the snow over there are his.

After a while, Ah Huang came out from the corner of the building, and walked shyly to the side of the basketball court, where Xiao Hua was panting on her stomach, sticking out her big tongue, exhaling clouds of white air. After Ah Huang passed by, he squatted directly next to Xiaohua, on the leeward side, where he could not only shelter from the wind but also keep warm.

After Zheng Tan climbed a few trees, his body became much warmer, but he didn't feel too cold. He was still a little sleepy now. There was no sleep atmosphere at home. After thinking about it, Zheng Tan decided to go to Father Jiao's office to continue to sleep. . Dad Jiao’s office also has an air conditioner, and the electricity bill is reimbursed. In summer and winter, the air conditioners are turned on in various offices and laboratories of the school, and some of them are turned on all day and night. Things like saving electricity are only talked to freshmen.

Zheng Tan jumped onto the flower bed and walked along the edge of the flower bed to the Shengke building.

The snow has been swept away on the road, and the cars coming and going have already rolled down the snow on the roadway.

The greening of the school is well done. Even if the plane trees on both sides have lost their leaves, there are still plants that are green all year round, such as camphor trees and pine trees, which will not appear to be lacking in color.

The snow is still floating, not as big as it was at the beginning, but it will still get wet quickly when it falls on the clothes.

Not far away, a few students with umbrellas came over and came out to take pictures. Maybe they, like Zheng Tan, rarely snowed in their hometown, so they were so curious.

A girl pushed aside the umbrella handed over by the boy next to her, "I don't want an umbrella, I want to be exposed to the snow."

"Don't pay attention to her, it's a shame!" Another girl scolded with a smile.

"It's the first time she sees snow with her own eyes, let her go."

"Hey, look, there's a black cat in the flower bed! Take a picture!" Someone shouted.

Zheng Tan tugged at his ears, looked away, and ignored them.

"I took a photo with this black cat!" The girl who was yelling to get wet in the snow trotted towards Zheng Tan. Zheng Tan didn't dodge, and paused for the sake of the girl's silly scissors. hand. The girl is pretty good looking.

"I also took a picture with a cat!" A boy came over here.

Hearing what the boy said, Zheng Tan left without looking back, leaving cat footprints on the edge of the flower bed.

After turning a corner, he could already see the Shengke building, Zheng Tan, who was about to speed up and run over, suddenly stopped, and he heard someone say Papa Jiao's name.

Looking sideways, two people on the sidewalk were also walking towards the Shengke Building. They still smelled of spicy hot pot. They probably just came out of the nearby snack bar on campus.

"It's not that I'm hitting you. If you don't score high in the test, you will probably be rejected. In our college, the tutors like to recruit students from our school, or those with high test scores. Besides, at any time Students from our school are given priority. For example, my test scores are similar to yours, and I have just passed the cut-off mark, but I have a much better chance of admission than yours. Of course, different tutors will treat them differently, such as Jiao Mingsheng The requirements are very high. Many people in this year's postgraduate entrance examination applied for him, but he didn't accept any of the previous postgraduate entrance examinations. I heard that his requirements are very strict. If you just take the exam with a lower score, it will definitely be useless."

The student was still talking non-stop, and Zheng Tan remembered that tomorrow weekend is also the time for the national postgraduate examination. Father Jiao often stays in the office these days. He has to correct the test papers of the students' final exams, hold meetings about postgraduate entrance examinations, guide research projects, and pay attention to the company's situation. A few days ago, Zheng Tan heard Papa Jiao talk about admitting a satisfactory graduate student to share the affairs, and Yi Xin couldn't do it alone.

"Jiao Mingsheng?" The other person was a little dazed. He was from another school, and he was not familiar with the teachers of Chuhua University College of Science at all.

"I know you don't know him. Speaking of which, Jiao Mingsheng is not well-known in other schools, but this year he became popular. A few students who didn't find him in the insurance research institute regretted it. He is a newcomer..."

Zheng Tan listened to the gossip with his ears pricked up, and he had never heard anything about it. It turned out that Father Jiao was a newly-emerged youth mentor in the eyes of the students.

However, Dad Jiao's fame is due to the project fund and Yi Xin. Among the graduate students in the same class, Yi Xin was far behind the others.

In the college, the most direct way to evaluate whether a student is excellent or not is to read his SCI articles. Although some people criticize this evaluation method and attitude, it is indeed a recognized evaluation method, and Yi Xin has published two articles in less than half a year. Yes, the impact factor is not bad. In the eyes of others, this is mostly due to Associate Professor Jiao. The project is not good, there is no subject, no fund, and the results can be obtained?

"Some other well-known teachers have already filled up their places or already have an internal appointment. You don't have to fight for it. You can consider those marginalized teachers. Although they don't have many subjects, at least you have a good chance of being admitted. Some. Alright, I’m going back to review, take a good look at the printed courseware.”

After talking for a while, the two separated, the one from the school walked away towards the dormitory, the candidate from the other school went to the life department building, and then came out to a nearby carport.

Zheng Tan followed the student from another school. He could see clearly from the flower bed at the door just now. This person only stood in the lobby on the first floor of the Department of Life Sciences Building for a while, and looked at some honor introductions hanging in the lobby, such as the teachers in the courtyard. The projects and topics won, etc., and a list of winners at the school's annual academic meeting. Zheng Tan remembered that Dad Jiao said that Yi Xin was the first prize, and there was a bonus of 3,000 yuan.

And when this person came out of the building, Zheng Tan heard him muttering something, the names of Papa Jiao and Yi Xin were in the words.

That's why Zheng Tan was curious. Ever since he became a cat, Zheng Tan's curiosity had grown a lot, but Zheng Tan didn't think so, he just attributed the reason to purely boring fun.

There is a roof over the carport so that no snow will fall. The undergraduates are about to go on vacation, and they are busy preparing for the courses that they have not finished. Some students who have completed all the subjects have already bought train tickets to go home. Therefore, there are fewer bicycles in the carport, and the space is much larger.

There is a wooden shelf next to it, and a wooden cable roller on the ground.

Zheng Tan saw that the man dragged the roller to the side of the shelf, patted the dust on it, put the bag on his back on the shelf, took something out of the bag, and then sat on the wooden cable roller.

Zheng Tan was in the flower bed behind him, because there were some green plants covering him, even if he turned around, he wouldn't find him.

The person sitting spread out a thick printed document on his knees, Zheng Tan thought, it should be the printed courseware mentioned earlier, it's so fucking thick, can it be read overnight?

Zheng Tan is not clear about some things in the postgraduate entrance examination. Now it seems that it is not just about the exam, but also pay attention to skills?

who cares!

Zheng Tan didn't bother with the so-called skills, he just came over to take a look out of curiosity, anyway, he had nothing to do when he was idle, but it didn't seem to be interesting. When he was about to leave, Zheng Tan saw that the person sitting there took out a bag, and there were sticks of jerky-like things in the bag.

Beef jerky? What a big piece!

Zheng Tan was curious, he didn't pay attention to his feet, he stepped on a branch and made a clicking sound.

Looking up, Zheng Tan saw candidates from other schools looking sideways at him with a piece of beef jerky in their mouths.

Zheng Tan didn't feel that this person was showing any malice, and this person even handed Zheng Tan a piece of beef jerky.

Looking at the clean unbitten beef jerky that was handed over, and looking at the person in front of him, Zheng Tan cheekily opened his mouth to take it, then lay down beside him and began to concentrate on nibbling on the beef jerky. Zheng Tan didn't like what he was eating to fall to the ground, so he squatted down, put the piece of beef jerky on his arm, and gnawed slowly.

"Hey, you can really chew Inner Mongolian beef jerky..."

Before the foreign school candidate could finish his sentence, he saw a familiar person walking towards the car shed. The person who came over had just read the introduction in the lobby of the Shengke Building.

"Jiao... Teacher Jiao?" The candidate from the foreign school hurriedly stood up. Even though he was such a big man, now he seemed to have no momentum at all, and was a little stiff.

Associate Professor Jiao originally planned to go to the administrative building to do some errands, but as soon as he came out of the building, he glanced at the surrounding snow scene, and saw a familiar cat figure - his own cat was squatting there eating beef jerky vigorously. But the person next to him is unfamiliar, this guy is very conspicuous in the courtyard, if he has seen it before, Associate Professor Jiao thinks he will definitely be impressed.

"Who are you?"

"Oh, my name is Su Qu, Su from Threonine, Qu Fun from Fun, come here for the exam tomorrow."

As soon as Su Qu said this, Associate Professor Jiao knew that this must be a student from another university in the city, not from this school.

Associate Professor Jiao didn't leave immediately, and didn't eat the beef jerky that Su Qu handed over. He stayed there and talked with Su Qu for a while, all of which were related to his major.

Zheng Tan gnawed while listening to their conversation.

At the beginning, Zheng Tan was somewhat familiar with the content of the conversation between the two. After all, he had been with Papa Jiao for so long and listened to so many PPT lectures, even if he didn't understand it, he was familiar with it. However, Zheng Tan became more and more at a loss as the time went by. And the dialogue between the two has gradually become a simple and direct question and answer method.

"If each letter in the sentence yesIcan represents an amino acid, what is it?"

"Cheese, Gu, Silk, Yiliang, Cys, C, Asparagus."

"What is the principle of transforming isolated B-type blood into O-type blood?"

"B antigen on the cell membrane surface of blood cells..."

"The reason for the premature aging of the cloned sheep Dolly?"

"I think of it this way, first, the length of the telomere of the chromosome in the cell..."

"Light is an essential condition for the development of chloroplasts and the synthesis of chlorophyll. Without light, the leaves of many plants will turn yellow. However, the lotus seed heart also cannot see sunlight. Why is it still green?"

The two asked and answered very frankly. Zheng Tan, who was lying next to him, was at a loss, and at the same time chewed the beef jerky in his mouth. After finally chewing that piece of beef jerky, Father Jiao's conversation ended.

Yi Xin came to the carport five minutes ago. He was going to push the car back to the dormitory to sleep, but found that his boss was in the carport, talking enthusiastically with a stranger, so he came to listen. Why is the question like what a teacher in the college said a few days ago to those students who took the postgraduate entrance examination in the last class before the exam?

You know, in the college, most of the things taught in the last class before the exam will appear on the test paper. This is the last cheat book of those students, and it is also an open secret in the college, but there are many other schools. People just don't know. However, now Boss Jiao has brought up some of the contents. Is this a leak?

After Su Qu left, Yi Xin said to Associate Professor Jiao: "Boss, are you leaking the question?"

"This is not called leaking questions, this is called answering questions."

Zheng Tan: "..." Papa Jiao, you have lost your integrity.

On the other side, Su Qu, who received guidance, was happily walking towards the rental office. Some questions that he did not answer would go back and look through the materials later. Does being able to talk to Associate Professor Jiao for such a long time mean that as long as he passes the exam, he will be able to rent a house? Opportunity to be recorded by Associate Professor Jiao?

Su Qu didn't know that, like Yi Xin, who was about to become his immediate senior brother, the part-time nanny life of taking care of cats and children was waiting for him in the near future.
