"A Zheng, I brought my friend's cat here, are you home?" Lin Zhifu called Xu Zheng.

It was 06:30 in the evening. Xu Zheng had taken on a lot of cases recently and was a little busy. He usually stayed in the law firm and worked overtime until eight o'clock.

Hearing this, he said: "Wait a minute, I'll ask if Fu Yue is at home, if he is, you can send it to his home."

Lin Zhifu said, "Okay, I'm going to go downstairs to you."

Xu Zheng said hello, hung up Lin Zhifu, and dialed Fu Yue.

"Xu Zheng?" Fu Yue didn't know what he was doing, his voice was a little more magnetic, but it sounded a little soft.

He was stunned for a few seconds before he said, "Are you at home?"

"I'm here." Fu Yue spit out these words indistinctly.

Xu Zheng heard it clearly, and said: "The cow cat is coming, I'll ask my friend to send it up, and you will pay attention to it later, and he will open the door when he arrives."

Fu Yue bounced up: "It's here? Okay, I'll get ready right away."

Xu Zheng estimated the time and said, "At this time, it should have arrived. I'll hang up first."

Fu Yue said: "Oh... hey, wait a minute, don't hang up. What's your friend's name, and what should I call him?"

It was only then that Xu Zheng remembered that he hadn't told Fu Yue about him: "His name is Lin Zhifu, he's a policeman, he doesn't care if he can call you whatever you want."

It's fine if he doesn't say anything, but Fu Yue was a little nervous when he said this: "Ah, is it the policeman, brother policeman?"

"It's not big brother, he's younger than you." Xu Zheng was a little amused, thought for a while, and said, "Don't be nervous, just treat him as a courier."

Fu Yue laughed: "Okay, treat him as a courier."

Tool man courier brother - Lin Zhifu came to the door of Fu Yue's house and rang the doorbell.

Fu Yue quickly opened the door, saw Lin Zhifu carrying the cat cage outside, and said, "Hi, I'm Fu Yue."

"Hi, I'm Lin Zhifu. Ah Zheng told you, I'm here to deliver the cat." Perhaps because of his job as a policeman, Lin Zhifu was exposed to the sun a lot, his complexion was a healthy wheat color, and his eyes Very divine.

Fu Yue stepped aside: "Come in, please."

Just as Lin Zhifu wanted to take off his shoes, Fu Yue said that he didn't need to take them off, so he followed his master's order and didn't insist on taking off his shoes. He put down the cat cage, uncovered the blue cloth, and said to Fu Yue: " Brother Fu, you can get acquainted with the kitten first."

Fu Yue squatted down, looked at the little animal in the cage, and gently touched its little paw: "Hello."

The little milk cat responded with a "meow".This is a cow cat with a nose shadow. It is thin and small. At first glance, it looks a bit ugly, but the longer you look at it, the more pleasing it becomes. It is so cute and cute that it can melt people's hearts.

Lin Zhifu was itching to see it: "Brother Fu, don't look at it as ugly, my friend said that this cat is very good, you should try raising it. If it wasn't because of the limited working hours, I would also want to raise it. "

"I will take good care of it, it's not ugly, it's cute." Fu Yue teased the little milk cat, "Is this a male cat or a female cat?"

Lin Zhifu said, "It's public."

Fu Yue let out an oh, and stood up. The guests were at home, so he put the little milk cat aside for the time being, and asked Lin Zhifu: "Xiao Lin, have you eaten yet? I made dinner, do you want to have some together?"

Lin Zhifu was straightforward, he rushed here after work, he was indeed a little hungry, and he didn't come to the typical Chinese polite way, saying: "Then respect is worse than obedience."

Fu Yue went to the kitchen to fry the last dish, took out two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and set the meal, when he heard a "ding dong", the doorbell rang again. Fu Yue thought to himself: Why is it so lively today, and who is here? .

Lin Zhifu felt a little embarrassed waiting for dinner, and when he heard the doorbell ring, he immediately said, "Brother Fu, I'll open the door."

Fu Yue said, "Okay."

Opening the door, Lin Zhifu found that the person who came was none other than Xu Zheng. He asked, "A Zheng, don't you have to work overtime until eight o'clock? Why are you here so soon?"

Seeing that it was Lin Zhifu, Xu Zheng glanced at him up and down, seeing that he was still wearing sneakers: "Dazhi, why are you still here?" He didn't answer a single question, but asked another.

Lin Zhifu said: "Dinner, Brother Fu left me for dinner."

Hearing Xu Zheng's voice, Fu Yue said loudly, "Is it Xu Zheng? Come in quickly."

Xu Zheng entered the door, put on his exclusive slippers with ease, walked into the living room, and saw the table: "Add another pair of bowls and chopsticks, I'm hungry too."

Fu Yue went to the disinfection cupboard and took out another set of bowls and chopsticks. After his parents came home, his house hadn't been this lively for a long time.

Taking advantage of the time when Fu Yue went to get the bowls and chopsticks, Xu Zheng went to look at the little milk cat. The little milk cat was already asleep, lying on the cage with its eyes closed, its mouth slightly open, sleeping very soundly.

After Fu Yue put away the bowls and chopsticks and looked up, what he saw was Xu Zheng looking down at the cat. He couldn't see anything from the side of his face, and he didn't smile, but Fu Yue saw tenderness in his eyes, very faint, very gentle, Like Han Xing cooking slowly, Wen Yue stewing for a long time, he couldn't bear to call him, couldn't bear to destroy the tenderness of this moment.

It was Xu Zheng who came to his senses first and washed his hands.

The dining table in Fu Yue's house was a square table, and no one arranged seats. Xu Zheng and Fu Yue automatically sat on the same side, and Lin Zhifu consciously sat opposite them.

Today I cook home-cooked dishes, such as steamed eggs with tender water, steamed baby vegetables with garlic vermicelli, sweet and sour pork ribs and ground three delicacies.

As a landlord, Fu Yue said to Lin Zhifu, "Xiao Lin, thank you for making a special trip."

Lin Zhifu said: "You're welcome, Brother Fu, you can call me Dazhi just like Ah Zheng. I'm not much younger than you. I'm embarrassed to call me Xiaolin."

Fu Yue glanced at Xu Zheng and said: "Okay, Dazhi, then don't call me Brother Fu, it makes me feel old, you can call me by my full name or A Yue, my friends call me that .”

Lin Zhifu said: "Okay, Ah Yue." For some reason, after he finished calling, Xu Zheng glanced at him.

"Oh, by the way, I bought a cat climbing frame and haven't dismantled it yet." Fu Yue asked Xu Zheng, "Are you free later? Do you want to help me install it together?"

Before Xu Zheng could answer, Lin Zhifu introduced himself: "I'm free tonight, so why don't I help you, Ah Zheng probably isn't very good at doing these things."

"Dazhi." Xu Zheng called his name and fell silent.

Fu Yue said: "Dazhi, no need, there's no reason to ask guests to do housework on the first day, I'm ashamed if you do this."

Lin Zhifu thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll talk about it later when I have a chance. Ah Yue, I heard from Ah Zheng that you moved here not long ago?"

"That's right." Fu Yue nodded and said, "Try this sweet and sour pork ribs, it's my specialty."

After tasting it, Lin Zhifu gave a thumbs up: "It's delicious! I think it's not too much to say that you have known each other for more than ten years."

"Eat more if it tastes good." Xu Zheng said.

Lin Zhifu knew Xu Zheng a lot, and he heard the subconscious meaning: eat well, don't talk so much.He gave him a look - there are so many things to talk about when new friends just met.

Xu Zheng—then tell me something that has nothing to do with me, understand?

Lin Zhifu received the message and asked Fu Yue: "Ah Yue, I heard that you are an architect? I have seen your website. When I, a worker, have enough money to buy a house, I will come to invite you to design."

Fu Yue said sincerely: "There is no need to invite, since we are friends, it is only a matter of one sentence to ask me for design in the future."

"I'm just saying this to you, I'm committed to making this friend." Lin Zhifu patted his chest.

Seeing that the dishes on the table were almost eaten, Fu Yue said, "There is also a stewed dish in the kitchen. I don't know if you like it or not."

Lin Zhifu said, "Eat! I'm not picky about food."

Xu Zheng didn't talk much today, so he signaled Fu Yue to eat by himself with a look.

Fu Yue came out with a cup of stewed lemon and said, "I added a lot of rock sugar, but it may still be a little sour."

Lin Zhifu was really a supporter, he rubbed his belly and said, "I was already full, but when I saw this, I didn't feel very full. I can drink two big bowls."

After the three of them finished their meal, Fu Yue repeatedly rejected Lin Zhifu who wanted to take over the task of washing the dishes. When he went to wash the dishes, Xu Zheng whispered to Lin Zhifu, "Dazhi, why don't you go home?"

Lin Zhifu narrowed his eyes: "Ah Zheng, why do you always drive me away?"

"I didn't chase you away. It's enough for you to send the cat to dinner. How long do you want to stay? Don't you have to go to work tomorrow morning? Go back to rest early." Xu Zheng's tone was the same as chasing Lao Lai.

Lin Zhifu surrendered: "Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll ask you out for dinner next time." He shouted loudly to Fu Yue in the kitchen: "Ah Yue, I'm leaving first, we will meet again next time we have a chance!"

Fu Yue's voice came from the sound of running water washing dishes, and he could only hear him say: "Okay, be careful on the way home."

Xu Zheng sent Lin Zhifu away. Seeing that the little milk cat was awake and in a daze, he walked into the kitchen and asked Fu Yue, "Have you bought goat milk? I'll feed the cat some."

Fu Yue said, "Yes, it's on the second shelf of the cabinet on the left, you can look for it, it's all there."

After Lin Zhifu walked out of the community, he thought of a question: No, Xu Zheng drove him out, why did he stay at Fu Yue's house with peace of mind after he came out?He couldn't figure it out, so he had no choice but to throw away the question and continue walking in the cool autumn night.

After Xu Zheng prepared the goat's milk, he opened the cage, let the kitten out, and fed it with goat's milk bit by bit.

When Fu Yue came out after washing the dishes, the kitten had already finished its milk, and he said, "I bought a cat climbing frame, a litter box, and a cat litter, let's give it a name, it's a boy. "

Xu Zheng said: "Well, get up, I can't think of it."

"How can I not think of it?" Fu Yue said, "I can think of dozens of things with my eyes closed, such as ice cream, cheese, cream, Daifuku, glutinous rice balls, rice rolls..."

Xu Zheng complained ruthlessly: "... what else can you think of besides eating?"

Fu Yuebai glanced at him: "Many cat owners name their cats like this. The food is easy to remember and pleasant to hear. I think it's pretty good. Since you don't like it, then come and think of one."

Xu Zheng thought about it and said, "Really?"

Fu Yue waited for a long time, and he was quite speechless. He knew that "yes but" means casually in Cantonese: "Xu Zheng, you are too perfunctory!"

Xu Zheng thought about it seriously: "That's called - lemon?"

Fu Yue asked, "Why? Lemons are also eaten."

"Don't you like to drink lemon soda?" Xu Zheng remembered that there were always several bottles of lemon soda in Fu Yue's refrigerator. He thought Fu Yue had never drunk it, but when he looked carefully, every bottle was fresh.

Turn sourness into sweetness.

Fu Yue doesn't like lemons, but he likes to drink lemonade with sugar and Sprite. It's like adding a little bit of sweetness and hope to the thorny road of life, so that people have the motivation to go on and overcome obstacles. go down.

"it is good."

With the final word, the little milk cat has a name - Lemon.

They started to assemble the cat climbing frame. The two smart men glanced at the assembly diagram and quickly installed the cat climbing frame. In order to allow Lemon to have enough room to move, the cat climbing frame Fu Yue bought was tall enough.

Then they installed the litter box again, which was very simple. They put the lemon in it and taught it where it was. When the angel successfully pulled it out, Fu Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

In the future, there will be two more shit-shoveling officers in this world, of course - the chief officer is Fu Yue, and the deputy is Xu Zheng.
