When he was flying with his dog and ran wild with himself, he was hit by a beautiful opposite sex. It was probably the most embarrassing moment for Cheng Fengyang today. He was so shocked that half of the bubble liquid in his hand was spilled because of the sudden braking.

Lin Lan on the opposite side said that she was the one who was frightened. As soon as she stepped into the square, she didn't take a step, and suddenly a person flew over next to her, so she didn't let her take two steps back.

"Cheng Fengyang?" Seeing who was coming, Lin Lan subconsciously called out the other person's name.

"It's you, Lin Lan. I, I just played with Xingxing!" The young man immediately hid the bubble wand in his hand, and Bian Mu, who was behind, saw its owner quickly closing the toy and tightening the lid , that's okay, and then he turned around and put the bubble wand directly in its mouth to bite it, then quickly turned around and said awkwardly to the person again, "Are you carrying a cat?"

Looking at the unfortunate Bian Mu who had to carry the toy for the master, Lin Lan blinked twice and decided to ignore it, and changed the subject along with his words: "Yes, the wanderer who just picked it up from the roadside. Cat, ready to take home and raise."

"You want to keep cats? I remember you just adopted a litter of black cats not long ago, right?" Cheng Fengyang almost blurted out. The last time we met at the Public Security Bureau, he heard a lot of recent news about her. Before that litter of black cats, you already had two cats in the house, and eight cats are not enough, and now if you pick two more, you will have ten, won't it be very tiring?"

Although keeping a pet is fun to play with, it is also very tiring to serve it. Cheng Fengyang feels that having a smart border shepherd at home is enough for him to worry about, not to mention that he is more fragile and squeamish than a dog. cat.

"Well, on the one hand, I like it, and on the other hand, I plan to open a cat tea house." Lin Lan didn't hide it, and told him directly, "There are two stores in my family that will expire next month. It won’t be rented out by then, so I’ll leave it for me to open a shop. If there are too few cats, the teahouse won’t be able to open.”

"Cat Teahouse, is it a place like a cat cafe?" Cheng Fengyang knew that it would be meaningless to open a cat cafe if there were fewer cats, but when he thought of the more famous shops he knew, he couldn't help but hesitate. , "That... Lin Lan, if you open a shop, there will be too many black cats."

Some superstitious people think that black cats are unlucky, and black cats are also less attractive.

With such a distribution of cat breeds, even if there is a ragdoll in front, the store will not be attractive.

Lin Lan knew what Cheng Fengyang's unexplained follow-up meant, and immediately smiled at him: "So I'm looking for little cuties who can attract more guests." Holding up the pet box in her hand, she motioned him to look in. , "As long as you put your mind to it, you can still find beautiful pet cats roaming the streets."

Cheng Fengyang subconsciously looked through the small window through which the cat box could see through, and couldn't help shouting, "I'm going! What luck are you!"

Although the two cats in the cage became a little dirty due to strays, the breeds can still be seen at a glance. One is a blue cat that the public can recognize, and the other is a very familiar Siamese cat.

Although they are all common breeds of pet cats, but one pick is two, that's amazing!

"It's okay." Lin Lan said modestly, "I came across a stray cat gathering place by chance and cheated it back with cat food."

"It's not me, your cat relationship has really exploded recently." Cheng Fengyang shook his head and sighed, it's been so long before she has so many cats, "Oh, right! You said you plan to open a cat cafe... Oh, a tea house , the shop must be redecorated later, right? Would you like me to design a teahouse decoration plan for you for free?"

"Ah?" Lin Lan was stunned, not expecting him to say that.

Cheng Fengyang thought she didn't believe it, and said quickly, "My job is to do interior design. Look, this is my company business card." He said, and took out a business card from the inner pocket of his upper body and handed it to her. go.

Lin Lan caught it in a daze. The company name above was quite familiar. It was a well-known and powerful design company in Xicheng, but the puzzlement on her face became even heavier: "But, why?" The design in this company It's not cheap to have a design drawing.

"Have you forgotten, the wallet you sent to the Public Security Bureau last time." Cheng Fengyang reminded her.

Lin Lan's face froze, this was something she didn't want to recall, and she almost got her into a lawsuit.

But the other party hadn't noticed it yet, and continued to explain to her: "My brother-in-law scratched his head for the case of the deceased and couldn't find any clues. He hadn't slept for several days. I found the trace of the murderer, and finally solved the case two days ago. My brother-in-law has always been very good to me, and I am very grateful for your help!"

In the end, he showed her a sincere thank you smile.

Perhaps it was because of the carefree attitude and sincerity in dealing with others, the young man in casual clothes in front of him smiled brightly at this moment, looking younger than his actual age.

Lin Lan couldn't help but feel a little dazed, thinking of the time when she had not graduated from college. She had been working for so many years, why did she suddenly feel old

"Cheng Fengyang." She looked up at him and asked an irrelevant question, "How old are you today?"

This question made the young man stunned for a moment, and he responded a little bit: "2, 26, what's the matter?"

Oh, a year older than her.

"No, you seem to be a senior designer at a very young age, so just ask." Lin Lan squinted and smiled and replied, "It's amazing,"

"It's okay." Cheng Fengyang blushed a little after being praised so much by a beautiful girl, and then quickly raised his face and seriously emphasized, "I mean, I will design a store for you for free! And I will treat you as a real customer. , I won't perfunctory you just because it's free. I just gave you the business card, as long as it's convenient for you, you can contact me to visit the store at any time, and if you have any design needs, feel free to mention it!"

"I believe you. My tenant is due to expire next month, and I will definitely ask you to come and take a look at that time." Lin Lan replied with a smile, gently raising the business card in her hand, she only painted light colors in the sun The pretty face of the lip gloss was quiet and soft, "That's it, I'm going to trouble you later, Designer Cheng."

"No, no problem!" Cheng Fengyang straightened his back subconsciously, "It's wrapped around me!"

"I have to send the cat to the pet clinic for a physical examination and cleaning, so I won't continue chatting, and I will contact you next time."

"Okay, call next time."

After saying hello to Cheng Fengyang, Lin Lan carried the pet box and continued to walk forward. Cheng Fengyang stood there and watched her leave, but she looked a little dumbfounded.

Not far away on the other side, Cheng Xingyu, who had noticed the movement for a long time, led his daughter to walk slowly, and patted his brother's back, who was still in a daze: "I'm back, everyone is gone."

The young man was shocked and looked back at her: "Sister?"

Seeing his younger brother's dazed look, Cheng Xingyu couldn't help giggling, and teased, "Why, I've seen it?" As he said, he glanced in the direction Lin Lan left.

"No! No, no, no!" Cheng Fengyang shook his head vigorously, trying his best to explain the misunderstanding, "I just said a few words to others, and I haven't met a few times in total, sister! By the way, that girl gave her brother-in-law a wallet last time. The kind citizens who helped solve the case, that's why I chatted with them for a while."

Cheng Xingyu immediately gave his brother another call: "You didn't say it earlier! Why didn't you call me before, I was just trying to thank her for Lao Li!" If it wasn't for the kind person who didn't covet the things in his wallet, he handed it over to the police directly. Bureau, her family Lao Li still doesn't know how long she will be trapped in that murder case.

"I, I'm thankful. She's going to open a shop soon, and I'll help her design and decorate it for free!" Cheng Fengyang grinned and felt a little aggrieved as he touched the pained back.

Cheng Xingyu glared at his younger brother: "You fool, no wonder you are still a bachelor at 26! How can you only give a design plan? The material suppliers and decoration teams in the back have to choose and introduce them to others! When the renovation is good, you can go there when you have time and talk to the owner about the specific renovation details!"

Just give a drawing and let people toss it out and it's over. The single dog is really a bachelor based on his strength.

Thinking about the mother who was worried that her son was so old and was still single, Cheng Xingyu felt that he should go back to his parents' home from time to time and help his mother to keep an eye on his unreliable brother.

On the side of the small building, Dr. Liu is the happiest shop owner among all the shops on the first floor.

Since the landlord's daughter came back, he can only be regarded as a veterinary clinic that can't be starved to death, and it has really improved a lot.

No way, this big customer will send pets to the door every time, either for deworming and vaccination, or for a simple pet grooming for cats. Some cats often use medicines, nutritional creams, cat treats, etc. a lot.

Even if he has been upgraded to a VIP customer and given a discount to pay, the clinic will make a lot of money.

So now that Dr. Liu sees Lin Lan entering the door, he unconsciously puts on a kind smile on his face: "What's the matter, is there a lack of cat food bowls or toys that have been bitten by kittens?" These bits and pieces Large customers also bought a lot.

"Buy two more cat food bowls." Lin Lan put the cat bag in her hand on the table. "In addition, these are the two stray cats I just picked up. It's an old rule, please trouble Dr. Liu."

Lo and behold, business is here again.

The customer is God, and Dr. Liu happily took over the work and started a set of procedures that he had already mastered together with the assistants hired in the clinic.

The old Lin family.

When Lin Lan finally carried Xiangxiang's two cats upstairs, the family also observed the two cats brought back by her daughter through the cat cage.

"Why is it a little thin and long, like noodles? Even if you eat fat, it won't be round." Grandma Lin held a small black cat and pointed to the two cats in the cage, "I still don't understand. There is this cat, its face and paws are as black as carbon, how come it looks like it has been drilled into the bottom of the pot after washing it?"

"Lan Lan, is this skinny gray cat also a blue cat?" Wang Xiuzhi pointed at the other cat, "I remember the one from Xiao Qian's house was quite fat and round, with a chubby face, how come this one has a pointed face Woolen cloth?"

Lin Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom, grandma. This is a Russian blue cat and a Siamese cat. The Russian blue cat is a bit thinner and longer than the blue cat, and the Siamese also has the same body. Also, the Siamese cats have this coat color, and In winter, if you don't do a good job of keeping you warm, its fur will get darker and darker."

"Isn't this the same as being burnt at the bottom of the pot?" The old lady directly disliked it.

"Pfft!" Lin Youyu burst out laughing, "A cat that will be mushy in winter... Hahahaha!"

Lin Lan... Lin Lan couldn't refute.

"Cough! In short, you have to understand that this is also a very expensive and popular pet cat breed!" She could only sum up, "Old rule, new cats must be isolated from the aborigines for a week, and I will send them to you. Go into the new house, and let the little black family take a look."

The two newly arrived cats did not meet the aesthetics of the elders of the elder Lin, so when Lin Lan sent the cats over, the parents were not interested.

Without them, Lin Lan, who entered the new house, talked to the cats without any scruples.

"Meow-" Across the cage, the Siamese cat meowed first. (Lanlan, I think your parents don't seem to like me, and I understand they say I'm a jerk! When my former master raised me, I often heard humans say that about me.)

The small tone was a little protesting.

"My parents have little knowledge and have never seen such a miraculous kitten like you, so please forgive them." Lin Lan coaxed the kitten without changing her face, "Although I asked you when I was with the cat boss before, But now I still have to confirm it again, you will really stay here in the future, hunting and foraging with me, right?"

"Meow-"*2

The two pet cats meow at the same time to indicate confirmation.

They used to have owners, but now they all live on the streets. They have had enough of the hardship of turning over the trash can and still can't find food. The most important thing is that they can't beat the cats outside. It's too tired. As soon as I heard the power of the cat boss say that there are humans wanting to adopt pet cats, they immediately took the initiative to come.

The wild is really not suitable for them at all, I just hope to live in a big house again and live a life of being served by shoveling shit every day.

The lively and outgoing Siamese cat is the first to show loyalty, standing upright in the cage, with black glove-colored paws and five-petaled mangosteen spreading out, ready to "give me five" at any time.

"Meow!" (I will be very good! I will also play high-five games with humans! They will hug and rub as they please, and I will never resist!)

Yes, it's a kitten with great skills, experience and consciousness. Lin Lan nodded in satisfaction.

The other Russian blue cat was a tad slower, and seemed to be a little silly, and meowed cautiously: (I didn’t think too much, I just came here when I heard that there was something to eat. As long as there is something to eat, Lanlan you Let me do what I want, and I will obediently let humans rub it!)

Well, although not as unique as Siam, but the work attitude is very commendable. Lin Lan was still satisfied.

"As long as you are obedient and hunt with me, you will not only be full, but also eat better food. When my hunting grounds are ready, everyone must cheer." Coaxing the innocent and ignorant kitten, Lin Lan didn't feel guilty at all, and even patted the black cat mother who was sitting next to her, "Before this, everyone still needs to go through a unified induction training, it's about everyone being able to get more canned cat food and food from those humans. Snacks, I hope you learn well."

As soon as they heard that they could get more food from humans, all the kittens around Lin Lan meowed, listening to the ears full of "Lan Lan, I want to learn", Lin Lan curled the corners of her lips reservedly.

In fact, whether the new cats should be quarantined or not, Lin Lan can judge whether their relationship is good or not from the moment Lin Lan can understand cat language, but she thinks that it should not be too outrageous, and there are still many precautions to be taken.

Maybe it was because they had all been stray cats. British Shorthair and Siamese got along very well with the black cat family. Sapphire, a three-month-old kitten, was curious about everything, and Lin Lan's words told him that it was even more difficult. may be repelled by them.

During the quarantine period, Lin Lan picked up another cat, a white Chinchilla, the second long-haired cat after Sapphire, and the second snow-white cat after Xuehua. After pounding, its messy snow-white long hair became clean and smooth again. Because of the Persian cat's blood, it looks elegant and rich because of its long hair. It is very popular with the old Lin family.

"The cat I brought back this time is not bad. It looks good." Grandma Lin commented, "Looks like a lady."

But Lin Lan, who understood cat language, was a little bit at a loss for how she felt about this cat.

Chinchilla cats are obsessed with cleanliness. If the house is not clean, the long hair on their bodies will easily get dirty. Once they get dirty, they will be anxious and jumpy. Moreover, they are very picky eaters and only love to eat meat, but their stomachs can’t stand all three meals. Meat is easy to get sick, and the hair loss rate is the highest in the cat world... Despite the shortcomings, who makes it petite and cute, and the relatives let it hold and suck, it is easy to let the shit shovel directly fall, and ask for anything.

Although this careless wandering Jinjira suffered a lot in the wild, after regaining the shit shoveling officer, the coquettish temper spoiled by the previous owner also fully recovered with the recovery of spirit.

"Meow!" (Minion, the hair on my claws is dirty, help me clean it up!)

"Meow!" (Minion, I want to eat meat, the meat you cooked yesterday, I want to eat it now!)

"Meow!" (Minion, I don't want to sleep in this cat litter, you prepare a softer and more fragrant mat for me!)

"Meow... Meow oooooooooooooooooo!"

It was raining in Xicheng today. Grandma Lin, who did not go to the senior center to practice dancing, was sitting on the balcony wearing reading glasses and wearing a sweater. While the needles of the sweater were moving fast, the ball of wool kept rolling in the basket beside her feet. The little Ragdoll sat next to him, stretching out his claws from time to time to hook the ball of thread inside.

"What? Snowflake got into a fight with the dame cat in the new house?"

"Well... to be precise, Xuehua and Momo beat the new Jinjira together." Lin Lan held her cheeks and explained the real situation to her grandmother, "The three cats don't know why, but they made a lot of trouble. Contradiction, I educated it, and it's fine."

Momo is the name of the black cat mother. As for the five little black cats she gave birth to, they start with Mo and add one, two, three, four and five as their names. Yes, Lin Lan, the quintuplets of the black cat family, is so simple and rude. On the day they were named, she put them on lightweight cat tags with their names engraved on them, so they wouldn't get confused.

As for the specific reason for the three cats fighting, she couldn't tell her family.

say what? Because they couldn't stand Jinjira's coquettishness, the white cat and the black cat worked together to educate the Persian cat

Grandma Lin didn't know the details, so she lowered her head and knitted her sweater while humming: "Then the lady cat will fight? Wouldn't it be because the black cat pushed her into the corner, her ears stuck, her neck shrank, her paws closed and her eyes kept shut. Shake it?"

The author has something to say:

Lin Lan: I always felt that my grandmother summed things up well.
