"Grandma, what are you doing?"
A ponytailed girl in a white T-shirt and jeans walked into the backyard, looked at the old lady who was flipping through the flowers with a cat toy, and walked up to her and asked curiously.
The old lady didn't even bother to look up, she answered while searching.
"Minmin, I'm looking for the traffic light. It was on the sofa before, but I went upstairs to get something and couldn't find it when I came downstairs. Please help me look for it. It's almost its usual meal time. It's already half an hour away. What if it's starving?"
"Given its size, it won't starve even if it doesn't eat for half an hour, right?"
Sui Min thought of the orange spherical creature and expressed doubts about her grandmother's worries.
Grandma Sui was very dissatisfied with her granddaughter's tone and immediately defended her good child.
"It's not fat, it just looks a little round because of the fur. Didn't you complain about the furry coat your brother brought you last year because it looked fat? Besides, it usually eats around this time, and today it's over half an hour late. It must be starving! It should have finished its meal by this time and was lying under the window basking in the sun and sleeping, but I couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked. Do you think someone stole it?"
When Grandma Sui thought of this possibility, she became extremely worried.
Sui Min thought it unlikely. The security around their home was very good, and strangers wouldn't come in on weekdays. The fat cat was lazy and clever, so it was unlikely that it would run away and be stolen.
Seeing that the old lady was very anxious, he held her arm and quickly comforted her.
"Don't worry, Grandma. Traffic lights are so smart, they definitely won't be stolen! Maybe they ran to a nearby neighbor's house and are having fun playing with it right now."
Speaking of this, Sui Min suddenly remembered the reason why she came here.
"Oh, grandma, our new neighbor moved in today. Did the traffic light go to the new neighbor's house to watch the fun? How about I go ask them?"
"A new neighbor has moved in?"
Grandma Sui thought for a while, then looked up and gave instructions.
"Okay, go ask. Change your clothes, remember to bring your gift, and speak nicely so as not to offend anyone."
Sui Min helped the old lady sit down in the house, and then ran out like a gust of wind, leaving only a voice behind.
"Grandma, don't worry, I know what to do!"
After half a day's effort, Zhang Wenyu finally moved himself out without waking up the orange cat.
Putting the orange cat on the recliner, Zhang Wenyu took a few deep breaths. Just as she returned to her room to change her clothes that were covered in cat hair, Uncle Zhuang suddenly told her that there were guests outside.
Zhang Wenyu hurried out to greet the guests.
Outside, a young girl in a green skirt and holding a brown paper bag was looking at her with a smile.
"Hello, my name is Sui Min, and I'm your neighbor who lives next door."
As he said this, he handed the things in his hand to Zhang Wenyu.
"This is a homemade snack. It tastes pretty good. I hope you don't mind it."
Zhang Wenyu quickly took it and invited the person in to sit down.
"I just moved in and the house isn't cleaned up yet, please forgive me."
Sui Min smiled embarrassedly.
"I shouldn't have bothered you right now, but my grandma's kitten is missing, and she's really worried. So I wanted to ask if you've seen it."
"kitten?"
Zhang Wenyu was stunned, turned around to look at the large orange creature on the recliner, pointed at it and asked.
"Is that it? It came here at noon today, ate some fish, and has been sleeping ever since. Although it doesn't have an ID tag, its fur is so smooth. I think it's probably from a neighbor's house and sneaked out to play."
Sui Min looked at the big fat cat that was lying domineeringly on the new neighbor's recliner and stretched out, and nodded happily.
"Yes, yes, that's it! Traffic light, come here quickly, follow me home!"
The fat cat jumped off the recliner and circled around Sui Min's feet.
Sui Min struggled to pick up the coquettish orange cat and said to Zhang Wenyu.
"Sorry to bother you, the traffic light was too naughty and it ran out when I wasn't paying attention."
Zhang Wenyu asked with a smile.
"Is its name Traffic Light? What a unique name!"
Sui Min stroked the orange cat lying in her arms.
"Originally, my grandma named it Yuanbao, but later changed it to Hongluoguang. By the way, I see you like animals too. We're going to have an animal party soon. It's a charity event. We've teamed up with several animal rescue centers in City B, and there will be many animals participating. Do you want to come?"
Zhang Wenyu thought about it and nodded in agreement.
The two chatted for a while, and Sui Min went back holding the red light.
Sui Min carried the fat orange cat all the way back to the Sui family. As soon as she entered the living room, she quickly walked to the old lady, put the orange cat lying in her arms on the sofa, and said while rubbing her sore arm.
"Grandma, the traffic light really needs to lose weight. It's so heavy. I wanted to throw it to the ground several times along the way. Where else can you find such a round traffic light?"
Grandma Sui protected the orange cat that was lying obediently beside her legs and meowing in protest, and said while stroking the cat's chubby body.
"Not fat, not at all. We traffic lights are just hairy, not fat at all."
Then he looked at his granddaughter who was rubbing her arm with a grin on her face and complained.
"When I first suggested calling it Yuanbao, you all disagreed. Yuanbao is such a fitting name for it! It sounds nice and brings good fortune. But you little rascals insisted on calling it Hongluoguang, causing it to mistake its own name. Now, even if it wants to change it, it can't."
Let’s get back to business.
"By the way, there's an event in a few days, and your dad said he wants to take you along. I heard there are several emerging companies developing rapidly at this event, and they're all young people. You should learn from them and communicate with them."
After Uncle Zhuang sent Sui Min out, he came over to report to Zhang Wenyu about the other gifts Sui Min had brought.
"Among the gifts Miss Sui brought are several supplements suitable for women, including bird's nests, peach gum, etc. There are also some craft ornaments and some fruit scarves."
Zhang Wenyu raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"You brought so much? Have you prepared all the return gifts? Don't let people say we're being rude."
Uncle Zhuang nodded and introduced Zhang Wenyu to the situation of this neighbor.
"The Sui family is a long-established family in City B. This is their old house. Their grandfather passed away a few years ago. Now the old lady and the current head of the Sui family, her eldest son and his family live here. I have already sent the return gift according to the Sui family's situation."
"The Miss Sui who just arrived is the daughter of the head of the Sui family. She has an older brother who has been away from home for many years. Miss Sui is a photography enthusiast. The old lady of the Sui family is a Buddhist, and the wife of the Sui family is very fond of charity work, so Miss Sui often organizes or participates in charity activities."
Zhang Wenyu ate the sliced fruit on the table with a toothpick while listening to the news that Uncle Zhuang had inquired about.
Suddenly, the phone received a call from City S. It was the person in charge of Zhang Wenyu's company in City S who called to tell Zhang Wenyu that they had received an invitation to an event in City B and asked if Zhang Wenyu wanted to attend.
