I Can Talk to Cats - Chapter 54
When Song Xinmin went back to the store, the expression on his face was heavily influenced by his mood.
“What’s the matter?” Lin Lan couldn’t help but look at his complexion, “The boss of the cat gave you anger today?”
Xiao Song, who helped the manager clean up the teahouse, shook his head. He didn’t want to speak, but when he saw the boss of Cat 10, he seemed to think of something and turned to Lin Lan: “Manager, can you persuade me? Where does the cat leave where it originally lived? ”
Song Xinmin told Lin Lan what he had seen during the day and the cat boss, and Lin Lan, who soon received his request, also began to bring the same expression.
Until she closed the store and closed the door, and went upstairs to go home, she pushed the door into the house and was in a state of contemplation.
In the living room, the heating mats previously used for cats are still in place. After all, even if all the cats in the teahouse are moved to a new house, it is the same as making room for people.
Just like now, Grandma Lin is sitting on it. She uses the big mat as a mat for the floor and sews the quilt cover on her own.
The old lady took a long hook needle and stitched up and down along the corner of the quilt. She attached the quilt and the cotton core a little bit. From time to time, she pulled the needle tip twice on the head before releasing the needle.
On the quilt with a brown peony flower head, a pure white cat lay on its side, and from time to time it stretched out its paws to catch the needlework that grandma was going up and down.
“Why did you sew the quilt suddenly, grandma?” Attracting attention from this out, Lin Lan temporarily forgot about the empty nest cat. “Isn’t the quilt washed before?”
“Then you have to ask your dad.” Grandma Lin did not lift her head. “Drinking tea at home can accidentally pour water on the quilt. New Year’s head will not give me or your mother something to do. Not comfortable. ”
After being replied by her grandmother, Lin Lan only noticed the sound of the hair dryer coming from her parents’ room. She moved her footsteps and looked around the room, and saw her dad sitting in the room holding the hair dryer to the wet cotton. The tire is being dried manually.
And on the balcony, the drum washing machine made a dripping sound when the work was over, and the mother standing next to her opened the door and took out the quilt from the inside. She was also sullen: “Every day, I walked all the way at home. No, you just watch TV when you watch TV, drink tea, and do all three things together. Even if people are tripped and thrown on the bed, even throw the cups up, in my nature I really want you to sleep at night Forget the quilt! ”
The more he talked, the more he finally shouted loudly towards someone in the room.
Soon, Lin Lan saw his dad’s expression more visibly visceral.
The sinister atmosphere at home did not affect the snowflakes rolling on the new quilt. The big white cat lay on the side of the strip and stretched out its small paws. Following the grandmother’s flying needle, it was fun to play.
Coincidentally, the place where the grandmother needed the needle was the position where the cat was lying, and the snowflake was still knowingly its blocking cat, and the grandmother shook the corner of the quilt dexterously, and the troubled white cat was overturned to the other side.
Lin Lan’s heavy mood recovered at this moment. She smiled and moved the cat away, moved it to the back sofa, and patted her little head: “Snow, don’t prevent grandma from sewing the quilt. ”
Grandma looked up in the gap: “It’s okay, it’s not a problem, it’s not once or twice.” It’s completely used to the rhythm of the cats messing up. “It’s you, who didn’t look well when he came in. What’s wrong with the shop? ”
As grandmother lin said, all the fathers and mothers in the family are also Qi Qi, who seems to be caring. Opening a tea house and a tobacco and alcohol shop can be different. It ’s a lot of annoyance to deal with customers. Not easy to pass. Although the girl had never complained or complained to them once, the elders probably did not pay attention.
“It’s okay in the shop,” Lin Lan said quickly. “It’s Xiao Song. He didn’t ask for a three-day hypothesis to go out and take photos. He told me about one thing he encountered today when he came back. Just our village in the city There was an old man on the other side of the street behind him, but he kept a cat and stayed in the old house … ”
She finished talking about what Song Xinmin saw in three words, and the elders in the family heard silence and sigh.
“People are old, there is no way.” Granny Lin sighed. She herself was half-turned into the loess, and she also has cats at home. She is even more touched with this kind of thing. “It’s the pitiful cat who is so stupid. Just wait. ”
“Don’t the old man’s children take the cat back to raise?” Lin Mu asked.
Lin Lan shook his head: “I didn’t control it at all. The neighbor’s grandfather said that he did the funeral for the old man and then locked the door and asked him if he would take the cat away and take care of it directly. Anyway, it was the stray cat that was adopted, and no one in the house would feed it. Naturally know to run. ”
“What kind of stuff!” Lin father couldn’t help but scolded out, “The cat that his grandfather raised can look after him to death!”
“No one took it on the one hand, and on the other hand, the cat refused to move.” Lin Lan was also helpless. “Knowing that the family really wants the cat to live on its own, the neighbor’s uncle wants to take over and raise it. , But it only shrinks in the old house and does n’t come out. It waits behind the window at the gate every day and waits for the old man to go out as usual and open the door back. ”
Silence in the house again, Lin Mother couldn’t help but sympathize: “It’s too pitiful this kitten, how can these stupid and silly things live away from people.”
It seems that whether it is a cat or a person, the more loyal and loyal, the more stupid it really seems, even if everyone knows that it is not the case.
“Maybe … really stupid …” Lin Lan sighed, remembering Xiao Song’s unbearable help, how could he be patient. The Sri Lankan is dead and the cat has to look forward.
At this moment, a cat meow broke the heavy atmosphere in the house.
“Meow–” (Lan Lan, it’s not stupid! Because that’s its home!)
Lin Lan looked at the sofa in surprise, and the big white cat lying on it was calling at her.
“Meow–” (Like this is my home, I want to guard you here, don’t you run around!)
It meowed, and had jumped off the sofa, first rubbed her, and rubbed grandma and parents all over again.
“What’s the sudden spoiling?” Lin Mu held the cat in her arms, her mouth was abandoned, but she ran the cat’s hair up and down again and again, “Tummy is hungry again? A little The male cat is so coquettish and does not know who taught. ”
Snowflake was lying in the arms of her grandmother, and the familiar smell of her family made it very safe. She was thrown comfortably by her grandmother’s eyes and her tail.
“Ah …” Lin Lan looked at this scene but suddenly realized something.
For Snowflake, they are the people who opened their eyes. The home they are moving is also the site it guards. Everyone on this site is the object of its watch.
Just like when she went to work in Modu, she kept food with snowflakes every time she came back. Every time, Snowflake is making efforts for this family.
If this family is gone, it will do the same thing as the cat.
Not only because of loyalty and love, but also another important reason.
The second day.
“Xiao Song, today I will go to the back alley with you.” In the teahouse, doing a good job in the shop, Lin Lan took off the standard apron and said to Song Xinmin, who was going to leave and continue to shoot the cat boss, “I just have something to do Looking for the cat boss, the follow-up problem of that cat can be solved one day earlier and at ease one day earlier. ”
Of course, Song Xinmin will not refuse. After working in the cat teahouse for such a long time, although he still did not become a cat slave, he also has a lot of affection for cats. Naturally, he does not want that flowered cat to have such an ending.
“The store manager is the store manager, and he came up with a solution so quickly!” He did not mean his praise.
“Don’t be too busy to praise people, let me solve the problem today.” After telling Wang Jiayang of the shop to finish everything, telling the young lady if she can’t cope, she can go directly to the parents of the tobacco and alcohol department for help. Song Xinmin went outside together, facing the cold wind in the morning to the abandoned residence.
The first stop, first look for the cat boss to understand the specific situation of the cat.
“Ahhhhhhhhhh …” (It was mixed with me before it was taken by the biped. The biped that kept it now hasn’t returned since leaving, and I occasionally bring some food.)
In the abandoned residential area where the stray cats are located, a white glove-colored raccoon flower sits on a high place and talks to Lin Lan who was inquiring about it.
“That’s it.” Lin Lan suddenly felt surprised, no wonder the boss of the cat deliberately passed by, and turned out to be the former brother.
The next second, she was taken aback by the cat’s words.
“Wow.” (I know, the old biped can’t come back.)
Lin Lan stunned, her surprised face reflected in the calm golden eyes of the raccoon cat.
“Ah.” (If you can help it find another adoptable biped, I can let the biped with the small box over there lift the box and stop without running.)
Lin Lan looked back at Song Xinmin, who was standing not far behind him. After seeing the “small box” held in his hand for a moment, he turned his head back again.
“Yes, I will do my best.” Lin Lan nodded vigorously. “You can’t take care of your younger brother like this, and I can’t let my employees get no benefits.”
The deal was concluded. The boss of the cat took Lin Lan and Song Xinmin to the empty house where Huamao was located.
Along the way, Lin Lan also asked the cat boss a lot of questions about the cat.
Then at the destination, she didn’t let the cat boss lead the cat out of the house, but followed Song Xinmin’s direction to knock on the door of the neighbor’s neighbor.
The elderly generally get up early, Lin Lan knocks on the door, and soon someone will answer, it is the neighbor’s uncle who spoke with Song Xinmin yesterday.
“Hello old man, I’m taking the liberty to disturb. I was yesterday …” Lin Lan took Xiao Song to stand at the door and said the intention directly. “According to your opinion, I actually want to take the Huamao to take care of your house? We also do n’t have the heart to keep the cat trapped in an empty house. If you want to adopt it, we can help. ”
Yesterday, I met Xiao Song ’s foreshadowing. Although the neighbor ’s uncle greeted two enthusiastic people in the early morning the next day, but they figured out that they do n’t need money and do n’t need anything. They were also very happy to receive them.
“I want to keep the ball.” Sitting in the dining room, the old man sighed in the direction of the old house next door. “The ball is a stray kitten adopted by the old man next door two years ago. His temperament is gratifying, especially sticky. Old man. Now that old man Lee is gone, his sons and daughters are not willing to take care of the kittens. I really do n’t want such a good cat to be ruined like this. But the ball is stubborn, no matter how I say it, how to use it to eat it Just do n’t leave the house, just call me through the window. ”
Lin Lan nodded while listening: “So, Uncle Jiang, is your relationship with Uncle Li quite right? You must know a lot about Uncle Li and the ball? … A lot? That’s great. Let me elaborate!… Oh, have you ever given each other any gifts?… Is there too? Great! ”
After collecting all the intelligence, Lin Lan came out of Uncle Jiang’s house, and she summoned the cat boss who was in the corner, and let it go to the empty house to call out the flower cat.
This series of operations made Song Xinmin look from the beginning to the end, he didn’t understand what the manager was doing, but he was too late to ask. He was ordered to look back at the door of Uncle Jiang’s house. He had already seen the empty room. The tabby cat was drawn by the head cat.
At the next moment, he saw the manager greet him at Huamao: “Ball, I am called by Uncle Li to see you.”
The author has something to say: Manager Lin: I’m very good at cheating on kittens.
