Strange Life of a Cat

I followed "Li Yuanba" around outside and gained a lot. This trip has a great enlightenment effect on Zheng Tan.

I heard that "Li Yuanba" was born as a stray cat. Obviously, he has much more experience in living outside than other domestic cats. Still calm, but when encountering those malicious people, the way to deal with it is also different.

Some people, if you make a threat or intimidation, he will stay away; for others, the more you show threats and intimidation, the more energetic he will be. Humans are like this, but as a cat, their status is even lower, and the situation they face will be more severe. Therefore, many animals that roam the streets and alleys will run away when they see people, because they cannot clearly distinguish who is good and who wants to To express malicious intent, after receiving several injuries, it will form a conditional launch, and run away when it sees people.

However, "Li Yuanba" was able to choose the best way to deal with it in a short time. For example, when passing by a milk tea shop, there was a couple sitting on the chair next to it. The man called "Mi" a few times, and was swinging a string in his hand to attract the cat's attention. Cats are always more sensitive to the sound of "mi", and they also prefer that kind of moving rope. But he didn't expect "Li Yuanba" to walk away from him instead.

Zheng Tan was very curious at the time, because before that, someone called "Li Yuanba" like this. Although "Li Yuanba" didn't pass by, he didn't change his walking route. But this time, after tugging at its ears, it moved away directly, very simply. Zheng Tan also followed it and changed his walking route.

Not far away, Zheng Tan heard the man sitting next to the milk tea shop barking again, so he looked back and saw a cat passing by, standing on the flower bed, looking like a house cat, Mao Very clean and supple.

Hearing the man's call and seeing the swinging rope, the cat moved towards that side. The next moment, the man sprayed the milk tea with a straw in his hand towards that side, and the cat hid quickly. Some, only some hairs on the side are stained with milk tea. So, the cat became unhappy, and lowered its ears, fluffed its fur and let out a low growl. If Xiao Guo is here, he will know that this is a warning from the cat and may attack or run away at any time. Generally, it is best not to mess with it in this situation.

As a result, the cat's reaction caused the man to spout even more joyously. The cat was sprayed with milk tea, and ran away into the green bushes screaming, leaving only the laughter of the couple behind.

Rubbish!

That laughter was too harsh, Zheng Tan pulled his ears, and when he saw those two faces, he wanted to go up and scratch them.

Zheng Tan looked at "Li Yuanba", it had gone far away, as if it didn't know what happened just now.

To cats, such things as drawing swords to help when encountering injustice are simply nonsense for cats. No one is a superhero, let alone just a cat trying to survive. A cat's life is worthless.

Zheng Tan withdrew his gaze and quickly followed "Li Yuanba".

After crossing the street corner, I met another couple. Similarly, the man made a "me" sound and made some movements to attract the cat's attention. Seeing that the cat in front of him ignored him, he threw a ball at "Li Yuanba". A little pebble.

What surprised Zheng Tan was that this time "Li Yuanba" had a completely different performance from before. It lowered its ears, raised its beard, bared its fangs, and let out a low growl.

The man obviously flinched a little, and his movement of picking up stones froze. At this time, the girlfriend next to him pulled his arm, as if he was afraid of being scratched. So he patted the dust on his hands, and the two left quickly.

For different people, different ways of coping, there is no blind retreat, be strong when you should be strong, and avoid conflicts neatly when you don't need to be strong. This is the attitude that "Li Yuanba" adopts when walking on the street, which is different from the lifestyle of other cats.

Zheng Tan has been following it not far away, so he can clearly see everything that happened before. The former couple and the latter couple really showed a difference in personality. Their instantaneous expression changes can make " Li Yuanba" to choose the most suitable method.

And if you can't do "Li Yuanba", you can only do like other stray cats, avoiding people when you see them outside, no matter how attractive things the other party offers, you can't go over, because you don't know the next moment. Will I be sprayed dirty or stoned, and I don't know if my warning will be effective for those people or make them worse.

Not the golden pet of Beverly Hills, as an ordinary domestic animal living in the city, either be content with the status quo, or learn more survival skills.

Survival isn't easy for a cat that can't stay indoors. The lack of experience in the social environment is the biggest test for Zheng Tan. Zheng Tan is used to thinking about things from a human point of view, but now, he is slowly changing. He didn't know how long he would continue in this cat form. If he could never go back, in order to survive, he still needed to learn a lot, learning how to look at problems from the perspective of an ordinary cat.

Zheng Tan didn't want to give up on this cat's fate.

After walking around with "Li Yuanba", when they returned to the pet center, Xiao Guo and the others had just finished their work and were calling Zheng Tan's cat name. Seeing Zheng Tan coming from the back door, Xiao Guo didn't doubt it, thinking that Zheng Tan just walked around there out of curiosity, completely unaware that the back door of his studio area had been turned over and over.

After returning to Chuhua University and entering the Dongjia District, the hustle and bustle outside seemed to have settled down, and suddenly became much cleaner. Most of the students I saw on the road who were rushing to and from end-of-year activities or various exams had never been in the heat of the world. Students of this era have a much simpler psychology than ten years later.

What makes people mature is experience, not age. Even if these students with no background or family background go out now, they may not be as good as those of their peers who have been struggling for many years.

Zheng Tan jumped out of Xiao Guo's car, looked up, and saw Ah Huang lying on the lawn basking in the sun. This guy has never been outside the campus area. Perhaps, for it, such a large area is enough for it to toss about.

Beside him is Zhuang Zhuang, a tethered cow, and Xiao Hua, a St. Bernard dog napping on the grass.

In terms of body size, Xiaohua is now several times bigger than Niu Zhuangzhuang, but Niu Zhuangzhuang is chained, while Xiaohua is not, it is because of his personality. Niu Zhuangzhuang is quite friendly with the few animals he has been familiar with since he was a child, but for other unfamiliar pets, he rushes up and starts to fight. Everyone in the compound remembers the thief's leg that was bitten during the theft, and everyone is not at ease if it is not tied.

As for Xiaohua, the children in the courtyard often play with Xiaohua. Everyone knows that Xiaohua has a gentle temperament. Apart from drooling, the impression is not bad.

Seeing Zheng Tan, Ah Huang stretched on his side and let out a "meow".

When the cry is deep and gentle, it means that it is greeting you and welcomes you, and it also means that it is in a good mood at the moment, and it can be regarded as answering you. When it barks louder, it may be complaining or begging, such as begging for food when it is hungry.

Xiao Guo followed Zheng Tan up the stairs, and it was like this every time he came back. One was in a hurry to go home, while the other walked slowly behind.

Sometimes after shooting commercials and sending Zheng Tan back, Xiao Guo would bring some photos taken during the commercials to the Jiao family, and this time it was the same.

When we entered the door, Mother Jiao was cooking dinner. In the living room, classmate Jiao Yuan, who came back from school early, was sitting on a small bench, and Father Jiao was sitting on the sofa, as if talking about something, probably teaching him something other than books. Xiaoyouzi is interested in a group class today. She is in a drawing class and won't be back until later. When Auntie Ling picks up the child, she picks up Xiaoyuzi, so there is no need for Jiao's father and mother to go there.

Seeing Zheng Tan and Xiao Guo come in, the conversation between the father and son stopped. After Xiao Guo put down his things and drank a cup of tea, chatted about today's commercial, and left after leaving, the conversation between the father and son continued.

Zheng Tan squatted on his special chair, listening to their conversation.

Papa Jiao is talking about the "broken window effect".

And this topic started when Jiao Yuan complained about certain phenomena in the class after returning home, such as copying homework. In the Chinese class today, the teacher severely criticized a few students who copied their homework. In Jiao Yuan's view, there were also copying of homework in other classes, so why was the Chinese teacher so serious. After hearing Jiao Yuan's complaint, Jiao's father pulled him over and started "class".

The broken window effect means that if someone breaks the window glass of a building and fails to repair it in time, others may be given some kind of implied connivance to break more glass. The result: in an atmosphere of insensitivity, crime thrives.

"Behavior and environment are strongly suggestive and inductive to people. If the first broken window is not repaired in time, more serious things may happen. In the same way, students in your class will also think that copying homework is advisable. , an effective time-saving means, and then continue to copy..."

Zheng Tan looked at Papa Jiao, and then at Jiao Yuan, feeling entangled. Why talk about such a profound truth with a primary school student? Anyway, Zheng Tan had done everything from elementary school to university, copying homework, being late, fighting, blackmailing... In those years, except for a few words from the teacher, there was no restraint. They are all things that can be solved by spending money. Since spending some money can solve the problem, why make it more complicated?

Thinking about it, Zheng Tan was still squatting there listening to Father Jiao's "class" to Jiao Yuan, and the topic had extended from class phenomenon to enterprise management.

"There are usually two types of environment for enterprise development. One is the hard environment, such as office conditions, machinery and equipment, road facilities, etc.; the other is the soft environment, such as working atmosphere, corporate culture, interpersonal relationships, management styles, etc. For example Your Uncle Mariko, he pays attention to these "broken windows" in the company now. In the hard environment, the "broken windows" should be repaired immediately to remedy the problem. In the soft environment, the influence of the "broken windows" is even greater, and we cannot Let your guard down.

Behind any major problem is the complex accumulation of many problems, so you, Uncle Yuanzi, have always paid attention to it, and took timely countermeasures once you found the situation, because those may affect the company's reputation, and word of mouth is what people give you to Uncle Yuanzi. A curse of the company, no matter how capable you are, no matter how arrogant you are, but if you want to develop well, you have to take those "broken windows" seriously!

For example, in your class, if word of mouth is not good, you would be ashamed to talk about the people in your class outside, right? "

Father Jiao's last words made Jiao Yuan very recognized. There is a class in their grade that is like this, and their reputation is very bad. At the beginning, I heard that the pen and eraser of someone in that class was stolen, and the people in the class and the teacher didn't care much about it. Later, there were bad incidents such as stealing money, so everyone was very careful about the people in that class. The students in the class are embarrassed to report to the class on the walk, for fear of being despised and rejected.

"As another example, this knock-on effect can also be illustrated from the opposite angle, such as when your mother bought you a new pair of Transformers socks that you really like, and you must subconsciously wear the new socks. Choose new and cleaner shoes, and if you wear shoes, you will definitely match them with a pair of pants that fit the shoes. After you choose the pants, you should also match the jacket and jacket. After you wear them, you will definitely avoid getting dirty , so, after such a process, your whole image will change."

"Oh, I understand this, just like Xiong Xiong, because he likes to hunchback, his mother said many times that hunchback is not tall, but he still can't listen to it. He is still hunchback, because he is already considered tall in the class, so he doesn't care. I care. However, since he wore the new clothes that his mother carefully selected for him that day, his back is no longer hunchbacked, and he usually pays attention to straightening his back. Because when his mother gave him the clothes, he said that the clothes should have a straight back Only when you wear it can you look good and attract girls!" Jiao Yuan said.

Zheng Tan: "..." Is this encouraging puppy love?

Papa Jiao thought for two seconds when he heard Jiao Yuan's words, and said, "So your words are implying..."

"When will I buy my new clothes for the New Year? Don't you just use a pair of socks to perfuse me?"

Zheng Tan: "..." Listening to this father and son talking is so fucking tiring! There are so many truths and potential topics that spread out from an ordinary class phenomenon!

The custom here is that children buy new clothes during the Chinese New Year. As for adults, it depends on the conditions of each family.

Father Jiao was not surprised by Jiao Yuan's answer, and said, "What kind of clothes you can buy and how much you want to meet depend on your performance."

"Of course! If I am in the top five in the class, can you listen to me for all the clothes?"

"Can."

"Even if I buy the kind of avant-garde, non-mainstream, domineering clothes with rivets?"

"Okay. If you want to spray mousse, it will satisfy you."

"good!"

Jiao Yuan got the answer he wanted, dragged his schoolbag and went to the room to do his homework. The end of the term was approaching, and he had to fight for his New Year gift.

After Jiao Yuan entered the room, Mother Jiao came out with a plate, looked at Jiao Yuan's closed door, and Father Jiao said, "That kid raised conditions again?"

"How can I not know what the little brat is thinking?"

"Then when he really gets into the top five in the exam, you will let him wear that kind of clothes?"

"It's okay, when you take him to a place that sells toy guns, he will have to change his mind. Toys and clothes can only be the same, and he will definitely choose the former. Last year he was greedy for that, but he got sixth in the exam. I can buy it back."

"What if you can't get in the top five?" Mother Jiao asked again.

"The standard for the top five is set by him, and he has to be responsible for what he says. If he really can't pass the exam, buy him a toy gun, don't want the big one, buy the smaller one, and don't make this kid feel You can get what you want even if you don't count your words." Father Jiao said calmly and calmly.

Zheng Tan listened to him and really took care of Jiao Yuan. Jiang is still old and hot, when will he escape from Papa Jiao's Wuzhi Mountain?
