meow if you are happy

Chapter 83 Growing up with you

It turns out that a long time ago, probably 70 years ago, when grandpa was still a little boy, he met Ah Fu.

At that time, Ah Fu, like Xiao Xiu, got the opportunity to visit the human world for the first time and was full of curiosity about this world.He heard from the cats in the Cat Country that humans are very cute, and although they are a little utilitarian, they are still very kind-hearted.Ah Fu was not wary of anyone at first, and there were always kind people feeding him steamed buns. In those days, steamed buns were still very luxurious!

Therefore, he naturally did not realize how dangerous a man who took him away was.After the man fed it food, he had a sudden idea and scalded it with red-hot iron tongs.

Ah Fu was still a thin little orange cat at that time. He struggled with the tall man for a long time and scratched him before running out.

It dragged an injured leg and limped away in the snow.Fortunately the man didn't find him.He thought he was safe, but the wound was too deep and became infected.

Ah Fu was dizzy with fever, and the wound on his leg became festering.Many people thought it was suffering from some disease and wanted to drive it away when they saw it.

Until it fainted on the street——

Will he die like this...

Just as he was thinking about it, he felt himself being hugged by a pair of warm hands.

Ah Fu was as frightened as a bird, and he used his sharp claw knife to hit the person holding him, and turned around to say something.

Blood slipped down the boy's white hand. The boy gasped in pain, but he had no intention of letting go.

"Don't be afraid, I will take you to see a doctor. My dad is a very good doctor."

Ah Fu slowly opened his mouth and then fainted.

When he woke up the next day, Ah Fu found himself in a clean and tidy room with the pungent smell of disinfectant wafting around him.

The next thing that caught my eye was the boy's slender and beautiful eyes. When he smiled, his eyes were as beautiful as a crescent moon.

From that moment on, Ah Fu found that he could not return to the cat country.It was also like Xiao Xiu, confused and confused until it heard about "Cat's Repayment".

Ah Fu has always been uninhibited and free-spirited by nature, so how could he just be a house cat? After he recovered from his injury, he ran out to play.Until sunset, it saw the boy anxiously looking for himself.

Ah Fu jumped in front of the boy, and the boy suddenly hugged him and said in a trembling voice: "I thought you were gone..."

Ah Fu thought to himself, why are you so nervous if you are just going out to have fun?But since you need me so much... then I'll stay with you for a while.But you have to be nice to me and brush my hair!
In this way, Ah Fu stayed with the boy every step of the way from that moment on.Even if I go out to play, I will come back soon.The boy made a small door on the main door for him to make it easier for him to come in and out.He took good care of Ah Fu, and many people laughed at him, "Boy, who is the master between you two?"
Although being a house cat is not bad, but... it still wants to go home.Cats in the Cat Kingdom have the power to turn into humans after repaying their kindness, although it does not last long.

As a result, Ah Fu turned into a boy who was the same age as the boy.

When the boy was reading in his yard, he heard someone calling him, "Hey."

He looked up and saw a boy with a slender figure and handsome eyebrows sitting on the tree trunk beside the wall.He was looking at himself with a leaf in his mouth.

"Who are you."

Ah Fu thought for a while, "I am a god sent from heaven."

The boy pursed his thin lips and smiled softly, "Yeah."

"..." Ah Fu suddenly didn't know what to say.

Immediately, he said: "Ahem, I can grant you a wish!"

The boy nodded warmly and said with a smile, "That's right."

"……yes!!!"

——Why do you sound like a big liar?

The boy cooperated with him in a serious manner, "Can you wish for anything?"

"of course!"

"A few days ago, the neighbor's cat passed away."

"Oh, and then what?"

The boy's delicate brows looked a little sad, "But it's only 20 years old."

Ah Fu thought for a while, "A cat in the human world is already very old at 20 years old, which is equivalent to more than 100 years old in humans. Wouldn't it be nice to die of old age?"

"Yes, but... people can live seven to eighty years. Isn't this very unfair... It would be great if my Ah Fu could stay with me for the rest of my life."

The breeze was blowing and the leaves were rustling.Large clouds moved slowly in the sky, and the boy's smile was as gentle as water.

"I know your wish..."

So, 20 years later, the boy had grown into a man with handsome eyebrows, slender eyes, and a clean shirt. The orange cat that accompanied him when he was young also left him forever.He held the orange cat's body and burst into tears, and buried it next to the loquat tree in his ancestral home.

But the next day, before he could get over his sadness, when he came back from get off work, he saw an orange cat squatting in front of his house that looked exactly like Ah Fu...

Afu shouted to him vigorously with a rough voice, "Meow!". It couldn't help but want to laugh when it looked at his startled look - Why, it doesn't recognize me now! ?
In this way, Ah Fu realized his wish in this way and stayed with him throughout his life.

After listening to Ah Fu's story, Xiao Xiu shed tears unconsciously.

Ah Fu chuckled and said, "Seventy years is really a long time..."

Ah Fu ran into the flowers and took out a flower planted by his grandfather. Although the flower branch had dried up, he still wanted to take it away and bring it back to the cat country.

It took one last reluctant look at the deck chair and left in the bright sunshine.

After seeing Ah Fu off, Xiao Xiu returned to the house. She wanted to comfort Chi Yan, but she didn't know what to say, so she had to sit down next to Chi Yan.

After a long time, Chi Yan stood up and began to pack up the things left by his grandfather.

Xiao Xiu wanted to help, but he was afraid that he would damage something carelessly, so he followed Chi Yan obediently the whole time.

"Chi Yan, do you want to take these back?" Xiao Xiu asked, pointing to the bookshelf next to him.

Chi Yan stared at the bookshelf for a long time and finally nodded.He wanted to keep the things in the house as intact as possible, but he wanted to take these books back to where he lived.When my grandfather moved back to his hometown, he didn't bring many books with him, only the ten books he liked during his lifetime.

Chi Yan reached out and stroked the books on the ancient bookshelf, and the image of his grandfather standing in front of the bookshelf before his death appeared in front of his eyes.

When Xiao Xiu saw Chi Yan nodding, he obediently moved a cardboard box over and wanted to help Chi Yan pack the books.

"Hey, what is this?" When Xiao Xiu moved the boxes over, he saw Chi Yan looking at a box in a daze.

——That box looks a bit old.

"This is what Grandpa left..." Chi Yan opened the box while speaking, "Is it for me?"

There was an exquisite hairpin in the box. Next to the hairpin was a piece of letter. On the envelope were three vigorous pen words - For Chi Yan.

That was grandpa's handwriting, and Chi Yan recognized it.

"This hairpin!" Xiao Xiu stared at the hairpin in the box and sighed one after another, "It's so beautiful, eh? Have we seen it somewhere?"

While Xiao Xiu was still thinking about where he had seen it, Chi Yan's eyes had already moved to the oil painting hanging on the wall.

The hairpin in the box is exactly the same as the one worn by the woman in the oil painting...
