The appearance of Yu Lingling made Lin Lan realize that the winter vacation was coming. Every time at this time, Lao Yu's family would pack up and bring a lot of New Year's goods home for the New Year. ... Bah, if it is a cockatoo, it will be sent to the landlord, Lao Lin, for foster care for a while.
It can be as short as seven days or as long as ten days. Basically, he will return to Xicheng on the third day of the new year at the latest and pick up the bird again. Of course, as a thank you gift, the Yu family will also send a lot of Chinese New Year goods to the Lin family.
That is, the old Lin family, who doesn't need to travel far to visit relatives at all, has been in charge for six consecutive years, oh... Counting this time this year, it is about to become the seventh time to take in that familiar bird.
"It's okay to send it, but does it really matter?" Lin Lan pointed to the cats in the teahouse, "My family has adopted nearly twenty cats now, and Aunt Yu really doesn't worry about whether Xiaokui will be in the cat group. Something happened?"
"Don't worry!" The junior high school student replied without hesitation, "My mother bought a new big cage for Xiaokui last month. It has room to eat, drink, and move around in it, and it's not afraid of being caught in a group of cats. hurt!"
Lin Lan: "..." So it turns out, when her shop was still in the renovation stage, did Aunt Yu already plan ahead
"My family will be staying in my hometown for about eight days this time, and the water and food are ready. Just carry the cage and send it to your home." As the eldest tenant of this building, Yu Lingling is also a real born to grow up. Here, the relationship with Lin Lan, who is of the same nature, does not need to be spoken at all, so he speaks very freely, "Sister Lan Lan, what do you want to eat this time, we will bring it to you when we go home. Smoked chicken is still ham, otherwise it is dried bamboo shoots or bamboo shoots. Sun?"
"It's all right." Lin Lan smiled, "You can take whichever is convenient for you. It's delicious anyway."
"Then let's ham." The junior high school students decided on their own, "When I went back to my hometown last year, I was thinking about the big hams that Grandpa made. Grandpa always said that it would take another year to eat it. Can we always eat it this time? "Looking back on the deliciousness of ham, the little girl swallowed her saliva unconsciously.
"Have you thought about those big dishes before the Chinese New Year?" Lin Lan patted her head in a funny way, and handed her a cat stick, "Let's play."
"Thank you, Sister Lanlan!" The message was successfully delivered, and she got permission to play with the cat again. The little girl ran away with a smile and turned to look for the cat to play with.
There are still three days before Xiaokui is sent to foster care. Before that, Tang Xiaoya, who had rented a house, came over in a van on Wednesday, accompanied by a driver and a mover. The two transported the large and small bags to Go to the second floor.
Sister Tang's moving scene compared to the previous time, Miss Wang was completely insignificant, and it was not on the same level at all.
This girl is neat and capable, and Lin Lan, who wanted to help, didn't even have room to intervene, so she had to go back to the teahouse.
Back in the hall, she caught a glimpse of the Maine Coon cat licking her paws on the big cat climbing frame, and she couldn't help but curl her lips.
Tang Xiaoya, who took a special leave to move, spent most of the day working in the newly rented house, and finally tidy up the house.
After resting for a while on the bed covered with quilts, she went downstairs without stopping and rushed into the cat teahouse below.
"Store manager, I'm here!" The hourly worker said that even if she had only two hours of part-time time left, she couldn't stop her from putting on a teahouse apron to work.
Lin Lan hurriedly stopped her: "It's already tiring to move alone, so don't work anymore, just sit and rest." After that, she made her a cup of fruit tea and sent it to her.
Receiving such consideration, Tang Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Thank you, manager." She took a sip of the sweet and warm fruit tea in the attractive glass, her face was a little red, " Then I went to play with mercury."
"Go, go." Lin Lan waved to her.
When Tang Xiaoya went to play with the Maine Coon cat, Mercury had long since rejected her. Except for Lin Lan, she was the most attentive to herself in this teahouse, and she often helped him take care of his long hair, including accidentally touching it when going to the toilet. Except for Lin Lan, she was the only one who helped clean up the things on her ass.
so…
"Mercury, I'm here!" The other party took it off the cat climbing frame and rubbed it in his arms. Mercury had lost her initial struggle, and let her rub her hands up and down.
After all, it is a Maine Coon cat with a gentle temperament. Although he suffered hardships and was abandoned by the previous owner, during his time in the teahouse, he was treated kindly by Lin Lan, who was able to communicate freely, and was also treated by so many relatives around him. Influenced and felt Tang Xiaoya's cherishment and love for her, Mercury has actually re-accepted human beings.
But she is still afraid of returning home with humans. This big cat, who was reluctant to stay here to "work and pay off debts", is now obviously more accustomed to the teahouse life. Tang Xiaoya wants to make the big cat willing to go home with her. It will take a while.
However, the person who has moved in said that she is not in a hurry at all. In the future, she will not only come to see it on weekends, but also go upstairs to play with it when she comes back from get off work every day when she is free.
Sister Tang was having a good time with Mercury, and Wang Jiani, who was sitting on the fabric dining table and chair not far away, was holding Jinjila and looked over there for a few times, then wrinkled her nose and snorted lightly to withdraw her gaze.
The eldest lady still remembers that this is the person who scolded her, and the way she spoke rudely was vivid in her mind. Of course, it was impossible to like her.
"Bad Baiyin, we won't play with her." She touched the kitten in her arms, raised her slender neck proudly, and started watching the video on the tablet supported by the table.
The video is connected to the headphones, so I don't worry about disturbing other guests. The eldest lady is running away from home. She usually spends most of the time in the teahouse. There are other ways to pass the time.
At first, Lin Lan thought she was watching a TV series or variety show, but every time she passed by, she saw some teaching videos of foreign teachers, and even the subtitles were in pure English. Seeing that she was curious, the eldest sister took the initiative to mention that this was a teaching video from a famous foreign university. It was obtained by her family. If Lin Lan was interested, she could also send a copy.
Lin Lan, who has returned a lot of knowledge to her teacher after graduating from college for several years: "… "Thank you, such an expensive (esoteric) video course is not worth it, she is just a salted fish who loses her self-motivation and only plays cats.
Unexpectedly, in addition to the naive and pampered young lady at the beginning, there is also a hidden attribute of academic dominance. The teahouse immediately changed a lot. Sure enough, no matter what kind of personality the children of rich families are, they definitely have the ability. A lot of resources are cultivated in place.
In addition to being in a complicated mood, Lin Lan glanced at the Persian cat she always kept in her hands. When she thought that Baiyin, this silly cat, would probably become a meow of a schoolboy, she wanted to sigh that cats are impermanent. what.
The eldest lady didn't know anything about it, so I was just like me. When the store was about to close, I packed up my things in a very orderly manner. After saying hello to the store manager and the kitten, I left directly.
Compared to spending the winter alone at home, Wang Jiani prefers the lively atmosphere of a teahouse with cats and people.
Stepping on the small hand-made leather boots, the eldest lady carried her satchel and walked to the entrance of the stairs. It felt wrong to walk up for a while. When she looked back, she saw that the part-time worker in the teahouse she hated was also following behind.
"What are you looking at? You're not the only one living in this building." Tang Xiaoya said rudely, "If you don't leave, let it go."
"Hmph." Wang Jia pursed her lips, snorted again and continued to walk forward, her steps were slightly faster, and she deliberately moved towards the middle of the stairs.
primary school students. Tang Xiaoya in the back secretly despised in her heart.
The two went to the second floor one after the other. Wang Jiayan thought that the annoying guy behind would continue to go up, but he didn't expect to turn into the second floor like her, and the corridor in the same direction was suddenly unhappy.
Tang Xiaoya in the back was even more surprised than her. Although she knew that the eldest lady was also renting a room here, she never thought that she would live on the same floor as her.
"Why are you following me!" The other party glared at her.
Tang Xiaoya laughed angrily: "Who is following you?" After speaking, she took out the key from her pocket and walked to the door of the most remote apartment, "I'm the tenant who just moved in today, okay?"
Then he opened the door, entered the house, and closed the door in one go. Wang Jiajia, who was still standing in the same place, was shocked by the sound of the door closing and his shoulders trembled. When he recovered, his face became even more angry.
It's annoying to have a nasty new neighbor.
The two girls thought of this idea at the same time.
Lin Lan didn't know anything about the quarrel between the two tenants in the building. After closing the store and returning home, she was sitting on a heating pad in her living room with a group of cats to keep warm, while holding a mobile phone and exchanging information with Cheng Fengyang.
After three days of rest, the other party's eyes have almost recovered, but it is still a little swollen from the outside, and he is still complaining to Lin Lan about his grievances on the mobile phone.
[Cheng Fengyang]: It will take another two days for me to fully take care of me. Just because of this, do you know what my dad said about me
[Lin Lan]: What do you say
[Cheng Fengyang]: He said that because he had to wait for me, the family's scheduled trip to go back to his hometown tomorrow was delayed again, saying that I was a serious hindrance to the family!
Lin Lan chuckled. Before his news was over, another bubble was sent.
[Cheng Fengyang]: Actually, what can you do when you go back to your hometown so early? It's nothing more than asking uncles and uncles who I don't see very often to play cards and mahjong until all night long, and wait for dinner at midnight. There is nothing in my hometown, even if I change the place to play with my mobile phone, there is nothing new.
The sentence of playing with her phone in another place really made her laugh. Lin Lan pursed her lips and edited a message to post.
[Lin Lan]: Isn't that the way Chinese New Year is now? It's not as fun as when we were young, but it's not the fault of the year, it's the fault of us growing up.
When I was young, I thought everything was novel and fun. When I grew up, everything was boring and boring to play with the rest. The last time I went back to my hometown, all Ge You were paralyzed playing with mobile phones. .
[Cheng Fengyang]: Think about it! Originally, I planned to go to your shop to help in the past few days before returning to my hometown!
[Lin Lan]: Don't make trouble, eyes are more important, okay? Don't appear in front of me until you take care of your eyes.
She concentrated on sending the message, the corners of her mouth were always upturned, and she didn't notice that three cats were already lying on her lap while sitting cross-legged, and her body was half-circled against her.
Some naughty little claws stretched out their claws to reach the tassels that Lin Lan put on the phone case.
When Wang Xiuzhi came out of the kitchen to call for someone to eat, she saw that her daughter had been completely occupied and surrounded by the group of steamed buns, but she didn't even notice that she was concentrating on scanning her mobile phone.
Haven't seen that the girl has such a cat relationship before
When Mom had doubts in her head, she still raised her voice in a funny and angry voice: "It's time to eat! Are you feeding the cat or serving it to the table?"
"Hey, come here!" After being called back by her mother, Lin Lan hurriedly sent another message that the meal was offline, so she quickly got up, "I'll feed the cat first, and I'll set the table with you later! "
It was only when she got up that she discovered that the kittens had crowded onto her at some point, and her movement caused many cats to meow.
"Don't make trouble, it's time to eat."
In a word, the group of cats that was still chaotic and noisy before quickly quieted down. When Lin Lan came over with a stack of cat bowls, they were all lined up, and their tails stood up straight.
