In front of Zheng Tan were two puppies.

One nested next to Ah Huang, and the other one that just ran over barked twice and started biting Ah Huang's ear, but it didn't look like he was using much force, otherwise Huang wouldn't be so leisurely.

Looking at the looks of these three guys, it was clear that they had known each other for more than a day. Zheng Tan thought about it and concluded that the arrival of these two strange puppies should have happened in the two days before he left.

Zheng Tan jumped up to a nearby tree and lay down. The owners of the two puppies should be nearby. He was going to find out who from the Dong family compound raised them.

Half an hour later, several old men walked over slowly, two of them holding dog leashes.

Listening to their conversation, Zheng Tan finally figured out why these two puppies appeared.

One of the two old men's surname was Li, and the other was surnamed Yan. The former was also a retired professor from the Academy of Biological Sciences, who studied plants. He often went to Old Man Lan's small flower garden, so Zheng Tan was quite familiar with him. And Old Man Li lived in Ahuang.

Their building was on the first floor. Sometimes Ah Huang couldn't get into the building so he would go directly to his house.

As for the man surnamed Yan, Zheng Tan had seen him several times in the Dong Family Courtyard, but was not familiar with him. He was not from the Academy of Biological Sciences.

In the past few days, there have been several theft cases in the Dongjia Family Courtyard, and the two old men came up with the idea of ​​raising a dog.

There was no theft in Old Man Li's building, but after all, they lived on the first floor. The old man was a little worried, so he called his son who lived on the other side of the city and asked him to bring a large dog over. Nothing else.

The requirements are as long as they are big enough, and they should be more majestic! Don’t make them look like little ones like a Chihuahua, as they look unreliable.

Old Man Li and his son thought hard all night after receiving a call from their father, and contacted some friends to give them ideas. Large dogs are strictly controlled in the current Chuhua City, and registration is more troublesome. But since the old man has spoken, no matter what he says,

He had to get one. He was worried about letting a ferocious large dog into his parents' house. It would be very dangerous, not to mention that there were family members of faculty and staff there, and it wouldn't be good to bite anyone. After thinking about it, he finally decided to get it from a friend.

I bought a St. Bernard dog. It is big enough and has a relatively gentle temperament. It doesn't like to bark much, but it is a little troublesome because it drools.

Old Man Li didn't do much research on animals. Anyway, he just confirmed that it was a big dog. When he saw it, he immediately decided, "This dog is not bad. Let's call it Xiaohua. It's easy to pronounce!"

Zheng Tan imagined the body shape of an adult Saint Bernard with an embarrassing face, and then thought about the name "Little Flower", it was so ridiculous...

As for Old Man Yan, someone's house was robbed in the building where he lives. Old Man Yan lives on the second floor. Nothing was lost, but he was worried. He called his daughter abroad for advice. Old Man Yan and Old Man Li

The standards are different. What he told his daughter was, "Dogs don't have to be big, just bite people."

Of course, this "biting" does not mean biting people in the yard, but it means that once a thief comes into the home or some dangerous people are encountered on the road, it can be able to protect the owner and prevent theft. Unlike some dogs that look majestic, they will be able to protect the owner from thieves when they come into the home.

But he didn't even bark a word.

In the end, Old Man Yan's daughter dragged her friend to get a bull terrier groomed. It was the one Zheng Tan saw that was a little deformed. Its coat was white except for a black circle around one eye. It looked like it had been beaten.

The fist-like, small triangular eyes coupled with that face made Zheng Tan always feel cheap.

Old man Yan named this little bull terrier "Zhuang Zhuang". He heard that bull terriers are more aggressive towards other animals. Old man Yan specially asked this little guy to get familiar with the surrounding animals while he was still young. Even if he becomes aggressive in the future, he will not be able to attack big animals.

The "internal members" of the hospital are vicious.

Zheng Tan looked at the bull terrier, which seemed to like biting the cat's ears as much as the noisy parrot. It was also a bit too active and kept tossing. He would probably not be a peaceful person in the future. In comparison, although

Xiaohua, who was still a puppy but much larger than Ah Huang and Zhuang Zhuang, seemed much quieter. After snorting a few times, he was licked by Huang Erguo until he fell asleep.

These three are getting along quite well now. I wonder what will happen to the two puppies when they grow up.

No matter what, Zheng Tan felt that the tranquility of the Dong Family Courtyard was showing signs of being gone forever.

Zheng Tan went back to Jiao's house to eat something at noon. Yi Xin brought back a portion of rice. Zheng Tan was a little cold when he ate it, so he had to make do with it.

Yi Xin ate dinner and lay on the sofa to catch up on her sleep. When she woke up, she had to continue working on her paper.

Zheng Tan was bored in the afternoon, so he ran out again. Under the sunshine in the afternoon, Zheng Tan felt a little sleepy. He looked around and didn't see a few other animals, so he came to the artificial lake. At this time, the area around the artificial lake

There was no one around. After finding a nice place, Zheng Tan jumped up on a willow tree, lay down on it and squinted his eyes to take a nap.

Since becoming a cat, Zheng Tan has developed a habit of lying on high places. The strange thing is that he has no fear of heights, nor is he afraid of falling from above while sleeping. He has been sleeping in a tree.

Very reassuring.

After sleeping for a while, Zheng Tan's ears twitched and he heard someone approaching. He opened his eyes and looked through the gaps in the leaves. A young woman came over with a book in her arms and sat down on a wooden chair not far from Zheng Tan. She looked at

The book comes.

Zheng Tan looked familiar to this woman, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that she was the "heroine" of the "Eight O'Clock" incident that the parrot watched some time ago.

Zheng Tan turned his head and looked at her belly curiously. Perhaps the clothes she wore were looser, so she couldn't tell that she was three months pregnant. Zheng Tan didn't continue watching the show that day, and didn't know much about this woman's condition.

But looking at the current situation, are you preparing to give birth?

After scratching his ears, Zheng Tan didn't think much about it. It had nothing to do with him anyway. The "eight o'clock" thing happened every day in China, and Zheng Tan had seen it a lot.

He turned over and prepared to go back to sleep. Unexpectedly, not long after, Zheng Tan heard someone approaching again, and the footsteps did not sound like a man. He opened his eyes and looked over, and Zheng Tan saw an old woman.

She looks like she is in her fifties and has a serious face, which is comparable to that of Old Lan. However, this old woman has a bit more sharpness and a strong aura, which makes her seem a bit harsh and intimidating.

A person in a high position who gives orders.

When the old woman came over, she looked around carefully. After finding that there was no one else, she went straight to the person sitting on the bench.

"Xiao Zhuo."

The old woman's face became much kinder, and her voice became very soft. Zheng Tan felt that she didn't want others to hear their conversation, so she lowered her voice like this.

Is there something shameful going on?

Zheng Tan held up his ears.

"Teacher Ye!"

"It's okay, just sit down and don't have to get up!"

The old woman also sat on the wooden chair, but neither of them spoke much.

Inexplicably, Zheng Tan felt that the atmosphere was a little heavy.

After waiting for two minutes, the old woman sighed and said, "Have you really decided?"

"Well, it's decided."

"That's Project A!"

The old woman's voice was very low when she said the words "Project A". Zheng Tan could barely hear them because of his good hearing. Others would not have heard their conversation clearly at all.

"Teacher Ye, I have really decided."

The two chatted for a while. Zheng Tan originally wanted to find out what this so-called "Project A" was, but the two people didn't mention the word at all in their next words. What they said was too technical and Zheng Tan didn't understand it.

, it was all about physics, which made him dizzy.

The hanging willow branches just blocked Zheng Tan. It is estimated that the old woman only paid attention to whether there were people around, but not whether there were other animals around, so she did not find Zheng Tan until she left.

When the last class in the teaching area ended, the man named Xiao Zhuo on the wooden chair stood up and left.

After looking at the sky, Zheng Tan also returned to the East Family Area. He spent the whole night thinking about the so-called "Project A", which always seemed quite mysterious.

The next day, Zheng Tan followed Wei Leng for a run and a walk. After returning home and having dinner, Zheng Tan wandered to the artificial lake again. Sure enough, he saw the man named "Xiao Zhuo" sitting where he was yesterday.

Looking at a book, holding a pen in hand and writing something in a notebook.

Zheng Tan thought for a while, walked over and jumped on the wooden chair.

Xiao Zhuo noticed the movement and turned his head to see a black cat with round eyes. He smiled and continued what he was doing unfinished.

Seeing that she didn't stop him, Zheng Tan moved forward to see clearly what was written in the notebook in her hand.

There were very profound formulas and many symbols that Zheng Tan had never seen before. In short, Zheng Tan didn't understand them at all.

As for the book at the bottom of the notebook, it was all in English and contained a large amount of professional vocabulary and terms. Zheng Tan thought he could speak some English, but he was completely at a loss when it came to it.

So frustrating!

Zheng Tan couldn't understand, but he didn't leave immediately. He was really curious about the so-called "Project A", thinking that he should have a chance to learn about it while waiting here, right?

So, Zheng Tan lay on the wooden chair all afternoon. The old woman came by on the way. After seeing Zheng Tan, she looked at the pet tag hanging by Zheng Tan, and then said nothing more.

In the next few days, Zheng Tan would run and train in the morning and sleep on a bench by the artificial lake in the afternoon. The old woman would come over every day to see her. She wouldn't stay for a few minutes and would leave after saying a few words. Sometimes she would watch the children.

Zhuo didn't bother him during the calculation, he just stood there for a while and then left.

On this day, Zheng Tan stopped walking outside after running early in the morning and went directly back to Jiao's house. He did nothing for the rest of the day, just squatted on the sofa and waited. Because today is Wednesday, a week has passed

Yes, several people from the Jiao family are back today.

Yi Xin had experiments in the hospital today and would not come back at noon, so Zheng Tan had snacks for lunch.

Looking at the clock on the wall, Zheng Tan felt that time passed so slowly.

Until around three o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Tan heard the distant voice downstairs and rushed off the sofa and ran to the balcony to look downstairs.

Jiao Ma, Gu Youzi and Jiao Yuan were each holding a bag. When they saw Zheng Tan showing his head from the balcony railing, the three below them all laughed. After they entered the building, Zheng Tan opened the door directly and waited for them.

.

The three people who returned home looked a little tired and a little sad, but the two children still showed relaxed expressions after returning home. After taking a bath, Jiao Yuan and Gu Youzi went back to the room to catch up on their sleep. Children are easily tired.

, they haven't slept well these past few days away from home, they are not used to being outside.

Mother Jiao is rolling out dumpling wrappers and will call the two children after dinner is over.

Zheng Tan is lying on the sofa watching TV. He is in a good mood now. He has temporarily forgotten about "Project A" and all the flowers and flowers. The return of the Jiao family means that he will not have to eat half-warm or half-warm food in the future.

Cold canteen dishes, no need to eat boring snacks for lunch and dinner, everything is wonderful again.

At around five o'clock, Dad Jiao came back. After returning to school, he first went to the college to do some things. Yi Xin's experiment required instruments from the College of Physics. To borrow those expensive instruments, he, as the instructor, had to come forward, so he went to
To be continued...
