Chapter 196 Akiko and Miko

Mingzi's real name is not Mingzi, his surname is Xu, and his name is Xu Ming.Mizi's real name is not Mizi, it is a cat called Mimi, and Mingzi and Mizi are nicknames given to them by grandma. Mizi was carried by Akiko to grandma.After grandma retired, she had a lot of free time. Not only did she want Mingzi and her father to come to dinner every day—because Mingzi’s mother received a "scholar exchange" scholarship to study in Canada for a year—she also wanted to find other things to do, such as sitting on the balcony. Plant some flowers and plants or something, so Akiko wants to persuade grandma to adopt a cat.

Mingzi loves cats the most, but her mother doesn't like cats, saying: "A cat is not like a dog. It crawls and jumps everywhere."It will be on the table in a while, and it will be in bed in a while, it is too dirty.No matter how Ming Zi begged, her mother always refused.Now that my mother has gone abroad, Uncle Chen upstairs—a colleague of my father—has three more kittens in his house, the long-haired ones, all of them are like fluffy little flower balls, very cute.Everyone said that Uncle Chen loved cats too much, giving away a cat was like marrying off a daughter, he would only give it to a reliable family.Mingzi thought, if my grandma wants it, he won't refuse it, so I'll try it.

As soon as school was over the next day, Ming Zi went upstairs to Uncle Chen with a smile and said, "Do you know my grandma? She loves cats the most. She's retired and has nothing to do. She wants you to have a kitten as a companion, okay?" Uncle Chen looked at him and said with a smile: "If your grandma wants it, you can take one..." Mingzi smiled and said, "I'll take all three of them to grandma and send them back immediately." Uncle Chen had no choice but to let him take them The three kittens were all put into the schoolbag. He put the schoolbag on his shoulders, rode on the bike and went to grandma's house quickly.

Grandma lived not far away, and it took three minutes by bike to get there. Grandma also gave Mingzi a lot of keys to the door, so she could go in all the time. When Mingzi entered excitedly, grandma was writing a letter to mother.Akiko put the kittens from her schoolbag on the desk one by one, and while they lowered their heads to smell, they walked softly and lightly among the pen holder, teacup and desk lamp.One of them was all white except for its tail and a small black spot on its back.It is the liveliest.As soon as I came up, I crawled to grandma's hand, stretched out my front paws to scratch the swinging pen.Grandma waved her hand and said, "Go!

go! Looking up, he smiled and said, "This cat has a reputation."This black tail is a whip, and that black spot is a hydrangea.This is called 'Whiplash Hydrangea'..." Mingzi clapped his hands happily and smiled and said, "Okay, okay, 'Whiplash Hydrangea', let's keep it. " Grandma smiled and said: "If you want to keep it, you have to send it back first. We must first prepare a place for it to eat, drink, poop, scatter, and sleep." Mingzi hurriedly sent the kitten back to Uncle Chen, saying, "Thank you, my grandma, she wants the one with the black tail."

——He didn't dare to say the nice name of "Whiplash Hydrangea", for fear that Uncle Chen would not give it up——Put the kitten back into the mother cat's basket, Uncle Chen said: "Okay. You must often go to play too But you can't torture it." Mingzi smiled all over his face and said, "How can we! We'll hug it when we're ready." Run as soon as you turn around. Mingzi helped grandma find a large plastic plate with a deep edge, covered it with ashes, and used it as a toilet for Mimi; two enamel plates with red flowers, the big one was Mimi’s rice bowl, and the small one was Mimi’s water cup ; There is also a big bamboo basket, covered with a layer of cotton wool, as Mimi's bed.Grandma said: "Mimi can sleep in my room, but 'eat' and 'pull' can only be under the kitchen table, and it has to be put on the balcony in summer, otherwise, I will die of embarrassment." agreed.

Mizi is here, really active!Just like my mother said, run around, jump around all day, go to the table for a while, go to bed for a while, and fiddle with everything.So grandma often bathed it, wrapped it in a big towel after washing, and dried the wet hair with a hair dryer.After breakfast, when washing the milk pot, I would rinse the pot with a spoonful of porridge first, and then mix the egg yolks that I don’t eat into the milk porridge for Mizi to eat.Grandma made Mizi "white" and "fat", like a big ball of pompon!Mizi is usually very noisy, struggling to keep Mingzi from holding it, but after eating, he falls asleep again.Grandma often feeds it before dinner, what kind of fish head, chicken feet, chop it up and serve it with rice.Mizi kept yelling at the side, and as soon as grandma put down its rice bowl, it went over with its tail up; after eating, it kept "washing its face" with its front paws, and after washing its face, it bowed lazily and yawned.At this time Mingzi went over and hugged it in his arms, Mizi closed her eyes motionless and curled up into a ball.Akiko stroked it lightly, and it would still "snore" lightly.After dinner every day, grandma and dad chat while watching TV.Mingzi just sat on the side, quietly hugging Mizi who was sleeping, gently stroking along its snow-white long hair, lowering her head from time to time to put her face on it, the colorful people on the TV screen He didn't see people coming and going.When the "News Network" program is over, Dad will stand up and say, "Xu Ming, let's go. You haven't finished your homework yet! Say goodbye to grandma." On grandma's lap, she reluctantly left.

At noon this Sunday, Grandma agreed to Ming Zi's request and asked Dad to bring Uncle Chen to lunch, saying that she would invite him to see if Mimi was looking good, and thank him.Uncle Chen came and exchanged greetings with grandma.Mingzi held Mizi up in front of him, and he only glanced at it.While eating, he talked to his father about the computer, how to use the programmed language to store data in it, and when using it, press the button, and the data will come out and so on.Mingzi quietly asked grandma: "What does a computer look like? Is it useful for raising cats?" Grandma smiled and said, "I can't tell. I want to put Mizi's information in it. The buttons will also come out." After dinner, Uncle Chen thanked his grandma and said, "I have to go to play with the computer in the afternoon, so let's go first." Dad also said: "Xu Ming should go back with me to take a nap. Write a letter to mom."

Mingzi had no choice but to pick up Mizi, hugged Mizi on his face, and followed them away. Akiko fell asleep as soon as she got home and went to bed.He suddenly had a dream, in which he heard Mizi screaming anxiously, as if someone was torturing it.Looking around, I saw a big black box in front of me, which seemed to be the electronic computer, and the mizi was closed inside.It opened its two big round eyes, looked at Akiko from the crack of the box, and kept barking.Ming Zi tapped the big black box anxiously, trying to find the key, but couldn't find it! He was sweating profusely from anxiety, and he heard the sound of clicking in his ears. When he opened his eyes, he was still sleeping on the bed, and his father was typing a letter to his mother on a typewriter.Mingzi turned over and got out of bed, took off the key to grandma's house that was hanging on the wall, and left. His father told him from behind, "Don't bother grandma..." He didn't bother to agree.

The door of grandma's house opened gently, and grandma's room was also pushed open by him.Grandma was sleeping with her face inward, and Mizi was lying on the side of grandma's pillow. When she heard the sound of the door being pushed, she immediately opened her eyes wide vigilantly. The legs are curled up, which is the preparatory posture for the excited forward pounce. Ming Zi squeezed into the door sideways, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, this big fluffy white pompom flung softly onto his chest.Akiko hugged it tightly, and for some reason, her eyes suddenly blurred...
