Su Tao had never raised a cat, and she didn't know when a kitten was in heat. Seeing Qiu Yin's strange expression, she thought Hei Zhima was sick.
"What's wrong with it? Is there a problem?"
Qiu Yin shook her head and explained to her in detail the precautions for a male cat in heat:
"They might urinate and cry randomly, and like to run away to pick up female cats. Their appetite also seems to decrease. Estrus is very uncomfortable for cats. Before the apocalypse, everyone who had a cat at home would have had it sterilized. I heard it can prolong their lifespan."
Su Tao was a little stunned after hearing this, and couldn't help but look at Heizhima's little bell and fell into deep thought.
Qiu Yin added: "It's not necessarily necessary to sterilize a cat, and veterinarians may be hard to find these days, so don't make things worse. Some male cats may change drastically after being neutered, or become allergic to anesthesia and go into death or shock, so be careful."
Su Tao immediately decided not to sterilize Heizhima. The post-apocalyptic conditions were not as good as before the apocalypse. What if something went wrong during the sterilization operation?
Su Tao pointed at the white sesame seeds buried under Xue Dao's belly and asked:
"When does the little female cat go into heat?"
Qiu Yin thought for a moment and said, "Ten months, that's almost time. Female cats are in much more pain during estrus, and sterilization isn't easy either. It requires a laparotomy."
Su Tao sighed, realizing that both of her little kids had grown up without her realizing it.
Sure enough, that night Heizhima started meowing. The sound was different from the sound he made when he wanted to go out before. The tone was very long and sounded a bit pitiful.
Su Tao sat up sleepily, and before she could turn on the light, she heard the sound of it scratching at the window.
Heizhima is a cat that can open doors and windows.
Su Tao woke up a little and just as she tried to open her eyes, she saw it open the window and slip into the night and disappear.
Su Tao lay straight back on the bed, thinking that whether her black sesame was in heat or not, it would run away from home, and no doors or windows could contain its free soul.
When she opened the can of white sesame seeds in the morning, the prodigal son Hei, who had not returned home all night, climbed back through the window. No one knew what he had done all night.
As soon as he came back, he squeezed away the white sesame seeds he was eating and swallowed up his sister's meal in two mouthfuls.
Bai Zhima sniffed the empty bowl again and again, tears almost coming down his face.
Su Tao had no choice but to open another can for it and coax it to eat it.
After the three furry children were full, Su Tao also received good news from Shi Zijin - Dongyang agreed to grant her 10 million federal coins as construction investment.
And sometimes Zi Jin was involved, and a full 10 million federal coins arrived in the account at noon.
Su Tao was very surprised. She thought that the money would not arrive until she set off for Xindu.
After all, there is less than a week left until departure.
On that day, Su Tao spent 7.2 million federal coins to build a protective shield.
At this time, Ziyue was sweating all over while taking a theoretical class at school.
In fact, the school also has air conditioners installed, but the high temperature weather is too severe, and the air conditioners are worn out a lot, and often fail to work after a long time.
In the end, there was nothing left to repair and no new air conditioner to replace it, so they simply stopped using it and instead installed fans on the ceiling of each classroom.
But the wind is always hot.
It was painful for Shi Ziyue to rush from the cool and comfortable Taoyang to the hot and sticky school every day to attend classes.
So much so that by the afternoon, she felt like her body was being dried up and she lay on the desk, not wanting to move.
It would be great if the school could be moved to Taoyang.
A few days ago, I heard from my brother that Tao Yang was about to take over their school. I don’t know when exactly. If it’s two days later, she wants to drop out of school.
Shi Ziyue is popular in the class. He often buys food and drinks from Taoyang and shares them with the class.
Sometimes we would invite them to visit Taoyang.
In addition, her brother is Major General Shi, so not only her classmates but also her teachers are very fond of her.
Li Ruili, who didn't get along well with her, looked down on her.
Isn't it just because she has a good brother and is lucky enough to live in Taoyang, so everyone comes to flatter her?
Sometimes Ziyue lay down for a while and then took out a bag of mint candies from her schoolbag and shared them with the students around her.
After eating, everyone said that they felt much cooler and more energetic. They surrounded Shi Ziyue and chattered non-stop:
"Ziyue, are you familiar with Mr. Su from Taoyang? Can I ask you when the next room will be available?"
"Yes, yes. It's been more than half a month and there's still no vacancy. My family has to check Taoyang's official website every day, for fear of missing out. Now the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and other places besides Taoyang are not suitable for people to stay."
"Ziyue, I heard a rumor that Taoyang might take over our school in the future. Is that true?"
Shi Ziyue never asked about these things. She just shook her head in confusion and continued to give out sweets.
When it was handed to Li Ruili, she handed the candy over without hesitation:
"Would you like one? It might help relieve the stuffiness."
Li Ruili refused the candy that Shi Ziyue handed over. Seeing that everyone was surrounding her, she became more and more unhappy, so she said sarcastically:
"If you can't even handle this little bit of heat, do you still want to join the army?"
This remark had a wide impact, and some people were immediately unhappy and retorted to her:
"You're the only one who can argue, as if your ability to handle the heat means you'll be as brave and skilled as Major General Shi. If you're capable, our school will be taken over by Tao Yang, and it'll be as cool as the nursery and orphanage next door. You can move outside to attend classes."
Everyone disliked Li Ruili, and someone immediately echoed:
"Yeah, if you have the ability, just keep on bearing the heat. If you don't, just shut up."
Li Ruili's eyes turned red. She felt that these people were just trying to flatter Shi Ziyue and were ganging up on her to bully her:
"Just bear it! I'm not like you who can't stand the heat!"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone suddenly felt the temperature around them begin to drop rapidly. The originally hot and humid weather became cool and refreshing in less than half a minute.
Everyone's spirits lifted.
Before anyone could say anything, someone outside the classroom shouted:
"It's the shield! Taoyang has taken over our school!"
Two boys in the class rushed out immediately, and then the whole class except Li Ruili followed.
Li Ruili stood there frozen with her mouth open.
When everyone came back from watching the fun, someone started mocking her:
"Li Ruili, do you need me to move your desk for you?"
Li Ruili died.
Psychologically, she is very proud and is willing to move whenever she wants. She wants to be a soldier in the future and is not afraid of hardship or heat.
But the cool temperature on her body made it impossible for her to move.
She had never been to Taoyang and never knew that such a suitable temperature could be so comfortable.
You won’t sweat, you won’t feel sticky, you will feel refreshed and relaxed from the inside out, and even your brain will be much clearer.
She sat still, her face ashen.
She had tasted the sweetness of it, and she couldn't accept going back to the sweltering heat to attend classes.
The few people who had just mocked her winked at each other and imitated her tone and said:
"Student Li Ruili, if you can't even resist this little temptation, do you still want to join the army?"
