The moving company is very professional. If there is furniture that cannot be moved up from the stairs, they also have a special crane to hoist things in from the window. Every piece of furniture is tightly wrapped with thick paper to ensure that every piece of furniture will not be damaged or damaged during transportation.

Lin Lan didn't know what grade the furniture was, but the foreman who was in charge of the moving was shouting "Be careful! Be careful!" With a tense expression, I know the answer when I think about it with my knees.

So... why

"I know this."

In the evening, the old Lin family, who had all finished work and went home, gathered together to chat, and Lin Youyu, who had signed a contract with the rich lady, also asked a question casually at the time, and the other party answered quickly.

"The girl's name is Wang Jiani. She came from the next city. She said that she had a conflict with her family and didn't want to go back to New Year's, so she moved the things in her house to live in Xicheng. I plan to travel here for half a year and three months, and I will see the situation later. Consider whether to go back or not." Of course, what kind of contradiction is the specific conflict, this kind of private matter will not be clearly stated.

The rest of the old Lin family were speechless after hearing this.

Grandma Lin was the first to be displeased: "What's going on with the child now? He ran away from home as soon as they disagreed. The New Year will be over in 20 days. How can you be so foolish? what!"

"That's right! The family can't talk about anything. Could it be that the family will harm her?" Wang Xiuzhi also agreed with her, completely unable to understand the willfulness of these young people regardless of time and occasion.

Lin Lan lowered her head and didn't dare to say a word, secretly muttering in her heart that she didn't know the details, who knows where she went wrong? But she didn't dare to say it. As the only young man in the family, what she had to do at this time was to reduce her sense of existence and let these elders express themselves from their perspective, instead of being the object of anger and education.

However, it backfired, and the mother's muzzle still turned to her.

"Lin Lan, let me tell you, if you dare to do this in the future, don't..."

"Ah, I suddenly remembered something, go to the room to get something!" She quickly interrupted her mother's ultimatum criticism, and Lin Lan ran to the storage room at home.

There are a lot of unused items bought by the family, including the items that Lin Lan brought back when she rented a house in Modu.

Wang Xiuzhi rolled her eyes, and let her daughter's sloppy eyes shut up and didn't talk about the previous topic.

Lin Lan tossed around in the storage room, took out something and walked out.

"Why did you take out the electric fan in the winter?" Lin Youyu called out immediately after seeing it.

"It's not an electric fan." Putting a desktop fan on the ground, Lin Lan explained casually, "This is a furnace, also called a heating fan. It's very comfortable to put one in a cold and humid room in winter."

As she spoke, she went to get a cloth and wiped the heater up and down. Although it was not very dirty when it was wrapped in a large plastic bag, it was useless after a year. After cleaning it, I had to try it. Try to see if it's broken.

"Don't you have an electric blanket in your house, why do you still need this?" Wang Xiuzhi felt that her daughter was messing around again, and rolled her eyes, "The cat is not as afraid of cold as you are."

When my mother mentioned cats, Lin Lan subconsciously looked back at the rest area in the living room that was specially separated for cats to sleep.

On the heated floor mat in the sofa area, a large group of steamed buns of various colors are squinting comfortably, either by farmers or hens squatting, or lying on their sides and sleeping in a long strip like a spread of cakes—compared to When they first came to the old house, these cats were very accustomed to it, and because they knew that it was absolutely safe here, their sleeping positions had begun to be indifferent, and they were no longer in the state of listening to the news and kicking their legs at any time.

The only three cats who were still vigilant in the pile of cats were the three cats who just arrived today. They were all placed in the isolation cage and lined up in the corner of the heating pad, so that they could gradually become familiar with their companions and the environment around them. In the future, a "teacher" will be sent over to teach them the 18 cute ways that teahouse kittens must have. Anyway, in the short term, they can't receive customers... Bah, they can't go to the teahouse to find humans hunting canned food.

These are all things later, Lin Lan is still busy with the heating fan.

Wipe it clean, pull out the wire and plug it in. She turned the knob to the highest temperature, and the fan head immediately emitted an orange light. As the temperature gradually increased, the light became more red and became brighter.

"It's really warm." The family members came over curiously, reaching out and shaking them in front of the fan.

Xicheng is a southern city, and it is normal for it to be humid and cold in winter. The elders of the Lin family who have never seen this novel electrical appliance have a good first impression of it.

"It's just not very useful."

There is an air conditioner at home, if it is too cold, just turn on the heating directly. When I got to the shop downstairs, my own small shop even installed transparent temperature-insulating curtains in the early winter, and there was also an air conditioner inside. After all, it was a family with one building. As for Lin Lan's newly renovated teahouse, which Cheng Fengyang put a lot of thought into, the heating and exhaust systems inside will only be more advanced.

"It's not for my own use." Lin Lan waved her hand and explained to her family, "Xiao Song in the basement became an employee of my teahouse today, you all know? I gave him this thing."

Although in the daytime, she can talk about each other's accounts, but such an excellent employee who worked hard and saved her a lot of trouble, the boss should show something. With this heater, Xiao Song's life in the basement was much better.

Hearing her say this, the family has no idea at all. Lan Lan had told them before that the young man would leave after working as a part-time worker for two months at most. In the winter in Xicheng, living in the basement was a bit difficult.

"After dinner, I'll take it downstairs and send it to him." Lin Youyu said directly, "It's cold outside, just stay at home and train the cat."

"Thank you Dad!" Of course, Lin Lan had to go downstairs, how comfortable it is to keep the cat's house warm.

The old Lin family happily started dinner time, and the family sat together and talked about the interesting atmosphere and fun in the shop.

When Lin Lan took the food and put it in her mouth, her expression suddenly changed when she caught a glimpse of the scene in the sofa area out of the corner of her eye. Then her family saw her throwing the dishes and chopsticks and running over there. Several cats on the heating mat ran out at some point, and one or two squinted in front of the heating fan and rubbed the warm air.

"Hey, don't get so close!" Lin Lan had already stepped forward to drive her away. She had driven the highest gear before, and the ground temperature in front of the fan was heated just right, but it also attracted some ignorant kittens to come up to warm up , but a few idiots didn't even bother to post it directly, "Is this like a roasted kitten? Get up quickly, the hair on your body is smoking, and it's going to be mushy!"

It was rescued in time, and the silly cats were not hurt too much. Only the nearest silver-graded British Shorthair cat toffee and Mankikang cat dachshund had a piece of floating hair that felt slightly different from other places, but It is invisible on the surface.

"The intelligence quotient of a two- or three-year-old child..." Holding one in one hand, Lin Lan was very helpless, "It's really a matter of time if you don't look at it." All dangerous items must be kept away from them.

But everyone else saw it as fun, whether it was the family who witnessed it from beginning to end, or the customers who went to the store the next day and listened to her casual complaints.

"Where are you, Manager Lin?" A guest who also has cats at home laughed and shared with her some things about his time as a shit shovel officer, "I also have a cat, which was raised by my roommate. Blue and white English short. A while ago, the weather was cooling down, and my house also turned on the heater in the living room. When watching TV, I turned it on to warm up for a while. The cat likes to squat and bake there. It has been baked like this for several days, me and I Roommates didn't notice at first."

Speaking of which, he seemed to think about what happened later, and he couldn't hold back the smile on his face.

"Later, later... puff ha ha ha!"

Don't worry about laughing, just finish talking!

Lin Lan, who was standing at the water bar, stared resentfully at the guests who were clapping the table and laughing. author of the text.

Probably feeling the danger, the guest still explained the follow-up: "The next morning, my roommate and I saw that stupid cat swelled one eye. Did you know that it was swollen? The eyes are big and the eye is small. For the first time, I knew that cats also have swollen eyelids... Then it was still that kind of cat-like cold expression. The farmer was lying on the top, but it was looking at it with a swollen eye. We both died of laughter, and it took a few days to get rid of the swelling and it didn't come back."

Speaking of which, in order to win everyone's trust, he took out his mobile phone and showed everyone the photos he took at that time. In the photo, the silly cat with swollen eyes still refuses to leave the heating fan. The colder its expression when looking back at the camera, the more laughable its shape is.

In winter, cats make a lot of jokes to keep warm. The story of Lin Lan and the male guest was like an introduction, and it also aroused the desire of other guests to speak.

"You are the pediatrician!" A cat smoker in his thirties showed his memories, "I saw more silly cats in the village when I was a child. Do you all know the stove for cooking and burning in the countryside? In winter, people who keep cats at home will put something into the stove and dig it out every time before starting a fire, and seven times out of ten, they will take out a cat."

"Hey, I know this!" Another guest suddenly called out and began to answer, "The residual temperature of the stove in the village will remain for a long time after the fire is burned, it is very warm. Cats who are afraid of cold will instinctively burrow in to keep warm! I have also seen that the grandmother who went to make the fire sometimes scolded and scolded, and no matter what color the cat ran out of the stove, it was always dark at that time anyway."

"That's it, if you forget to dig out the stove, not long after you set the fire and throw it in, a black cat will jump out of it like a horror movie, and you will scream with horror on the spot when it hits you right in front of you. Come out." The previous guest continued, and his words were very graphic, which attracted a burst of laughter, "But the grass and trees are not dirty, and the cat can take care of it easily. Cats are still relatively sensitive to temperature, and it is a fact that they are afraid of cold. , Sometimes, because of the instinct of heating, you will do dangerous and stupid things unconsciously, and it is not uncommon to accidentally kill cats by burning fire in the countryside. So if there are cats at home, I hope you will pay more attention. "

When the guest finished speaking, his expression became serious, and the others also showed a slightly alert color.

Of course, all the guests who can come to the cat teahouse like cats, and no one is willing to cause these cute tragedies due to negligence. When the topic changes, it becomes how to take cat protection measures at home.

For example, the balcony must be closed tightly or an isolation net should be used to prevent cats from falling from heights. When going to work, the door must be locked with an anti-safety lock. A smart cat will jump in and open the door and lose it. Dangerous electrical appliances must be kept away. The teahouse has become a cat-friendly exchange meeting for cats.

Lin Lan was happy to listen to the cat raising knowledge and care details they said, standing at the water bar wiping the cups and chatting with them from time to time.

"Manager Lin is also very good at raising and training cats, and he also taught us to make the kittens at home more obedient?"

During this period, a client made this request to her.

"No problem!" Lin Lan replied immediately, "Bring your cat to me, I'll help you train for a while, and you'll be fine if you bring it home again. If you don't succeed, you won't be charged!" The answer was watertight.

"Store manager, I wanted to ask before. Do you sell cats in your store?" Another customer asked a new question, "When I first came here, I thought your cats were more obedient and more obedient than others' cats. , I will also go to the toilet on my own and take a bath. If the kittens are like yours, I really need to worry a lot."

"About the sale... Teahouses have rules." Lin Lan said this, her face became a lot more serious, and she looked at the guest who asked the question seriously, "My kittens are very humane. , they will choose their favorite shit shoveling officer. That is to say, which cat you want in the store, the customer must be willing to go with you before you can discuss the follow-up transaction. Otherwise, my furry child It's not for sale."

Canned food hunting is a short-term business after all, how can it be more reliable than one-to-one long-term meal tickets

If there are cats in the teahouse willing to go with the guests, Lin Lan will only sincerely wish them.

Just as he was talking, the bell rang again when the store door was pushed open, and a well-dressed young girl walked in. With a pair of eyes on her beautiful face, she glanced at the inside of the teahouse with scrutiny and curiosity. Lin Lan recognized the person at once, and it was Bai Fumei who moved here yesterday.
