On Wednesday, Tang Xiaoya moved into the second floor of the small building. On Thursday, the old family of three on the same floor had already packed their money and were going back to their hometown.
Before taking a taxi to the train station, they sent Xiaokui to the third floor together with the cage and food, and the two went through a very skilled handover process.
"Xiao Kui will trouble your family to take care of you this year." In the living room, Uncle Yu, who often travels away from home, is greeting Father Lin and the others, "We will be back on the second day of the new year this year, and we won't stay in our hometown for too long."
"It's not a big deal!" Father Lin agreed, patted the rectangular birdcage over one meter high, glanced at the parrot that was calmly eating melon seeds, and couldn't help but smiled, "Xiao Kui is also an old man. I’m a regular customer, and I’m no stranger to my family, so you can rest assured to stay in your hometown for a few more days.” After all, it’s too early to drive back on the second day of the first lunar month.
"We came back not only for this bird, but also for my work." Uncle Yu also explained with a smile, "There is a big wedding order in the company for the third year, and I have to come back to fill up the staff."
Working in a wedding company, isn't it because others are on holiday and they are busy? When he said this, Father Lin immediately understood.
"Okay, I wish your family a smooth journey!" Father Lin didn't delay their drive, "Let's go, it's bad to miss the time."
"Then let's go." Uncle Yu didn't talk any more, just patted the birdcage before leaving, "Don't eat Xiaokui, thank you Uncle Lin, you will eat and drink here for a while."
When the clever bird eating melon seeds heard the command, it immediately raised its head and started to croak: "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" While calling, it spread its wings to show flattery. The parrot said that it just heard the word "eat and drink, don't it You can't understand it, this will definitely not be missed.
Suddenly, there was another burst of laughter from the door of Lao Lin's house.
The three Yu family quickly left. Lin Youyu listened to the sound of going downstairs in the corridor, and turned back to look at the cockatoo in the cage. Out of the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of the heating pad for cats in the corner of the living room. I couldn't help but patted my forehead again.
At this time, Lanlan had already taken all the cats to open the store. The bird and the cat couldn't meet for a while, and they brought them back at night. I don't know if something would go wrong.
After all, cats are quite good at catching birds and eating them as snacks. Seeing such a big bird, it is inevitable that they will not be inspired to try it. Even if there is a cage, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems.
Forget it, he covered the cage with a cloth by five o'clock.
Lin Youyu was afraid that the parrot would be frightened by those cats, but he didn't know how courageous Xiao Kui, a bird that had been petted by humans from a young age to a big one, did not realize that his knowledge had been refreshed when there was a scene of bird flying and cat dancing later.
In the teahouse downstairs everything was business as usual.
It's time for the students' winter vacation. Most adults are either struggling with the Spring Festival travel problem, or they are stuck in the hell of overtime before the Spring Festival holiday. Only a few are free and happy. The guests who come to the cat teahouse can see it from some young people to the naked eye. , became a parent-child file.
Lin Lan had asked Xiao Song to put up a sign outside that children under the age of seven were not allowed to enter. The reason is that these dolls who have not even attended elementary school and have no discipline at all have difficulty in ensuring the safety of the cats in the teahouse. They have been baptized by the teacher's education, so they will be better and can listen to what they say.
Basically, parents whose children are still at this age are quite young. They have received the education of the new era and grown up with high quality and politeness. When the rules of the teahouse are notified in advance and it is a public place, if the child behaves out of line, he will usually stop it in time. Lin Lan needs to worry too much.
Of course, if there is something going on with the naive bear parents and bear dolls, neither she nor the surveillance videos in the teahouse are vegetarians.
Song Xinmin had also seen the power of bear children, and he was also prepared to take precautions when told by the store manager, focusing on those customers with children.
…then he found himself and the store manager thinking too much.
The parent-child stalls here are not all children who want to play with cats, but adults who play cats very much, and sometimes put their own baby and cat in front of the camera when taking pictures. In contrast, those immature children are more interested in the milk tea and cakes that are served.
So it develops into a scene where adults are focusing on petting cats and children are focusing on eating and drinking.
"It stinks." Comrade Xiao Song, who was holding the camera, sighed, "What's the difference between this and those guys who use watching children as an excuse to get into the children's playground and play all day?"
Lin Lan couldn't help but glance at him: "Have you ever worked in the playground?"
"I've worked twice, once for the outdoor type and once for the indoor type. I've seen this kind of adults a lot, but I didn't expect that they would even be found in cat cafes." open.
Lin Lan hurried over to take a look. After confirming that she didn't take the guest's face in, she paid attention to what she was taking. It was a father and son reaching out to the cat in unison. The precise composition and angle of the shot made her have to take pictures. Admiring the professional is different.
The cat that was photographed was the orange cat gentleman who had completed his cuteness training ahead of time and had officially entered the teahouse to hunt.
The little guy is very promising. On the first day of work, he hooked up with a father and son by his beauty, and coaxed them to give canned food and cat strips. He behaved very affectionately and was deeply loved by the father and son.
"Dad, I like this big yellow cat, can I bring it home?" The child turned to look at his father.
The young father who was having fun before suddenly hesitated: "This... I'm afraid your mother won't agree, and this is a cat in a teahouse, and you can't buy it casually."
Hearing their conversation, Lin Lan couldn't help but glance at the father and son, but didn't do anything.
This is the first time for the father and son to come to the cat teahouse today, and the children are notorious for the new and dislike the old. When there is no guarantee of anything, it is impossible for her to give the gentleman to them casually.
The little boy was very disappointed when he heard his father's rejection, and then he looked up at his father again as if thinking of something: "Then father, can we come often in the future?"
The young father thought about the length of the child's winter vacation, then nodded: "If it's just this vacation, yes."
"Then let's bring mom too next time?" The child immediately hit the snake and followed the stick, "Mom will definitely like it when she sees rhubarb!"
"Okay." The father pampered the child, "Your mother actually likes cats, but she thinks that taking care of cats is troublesome, so she may not succeed."
"Rhubarb is so cute, my mother will definitely be willing to take it home to take care of it!" The little boy stubbornly hugged the orange cat in his arms, very dissatisfied, "Look at how good it is, it's never as good as others say. Scratching me and biting me will only rub against me, and will roll in your arms to touch my belly. Rhubarb must be a good cat!"
"Little boy." Lin Lan, who didn't intend to move, couldn't help but came over. "This cat in my house is not called Da Huang. It has a handsome name, Gentleman."
When the tea customer and his son saw the store manager coming over, they could not help but straighten their sitting positions. The orange cat was held in the arms of the child and called her, "Meow." (Lan Lan, they seem to be willing to support me, I can follow Are they leaving?)
Lin Lan glanced at it, but did not follow the gentleman's intention to ask, but patted the little boy's head lightly: "Little boy, what's your name, my gentleman likes you very much."
"My name is Xu Zikai, and I'm nine years old this year!" The little boy raised his chest and reported his family name very skillfully. Obviously, he was accustomed to this question, "Da Huang... Sister store manager, do you think the gentleman likes me very much?"
"Well, it wants to go home with you." Seeing the little boy's eyes light up, Lin Lan poured cold water without hesitation, "But as the gentleman's current guardian, I won't let it go with you easily. Going home. In addition to the consent of the gentleman, you also need the consent of your father and your mother to ensure that the gentleman will treat you well when you return home, otherwise I will not let it go. "
The little boy was suddenly disappointed and confused.
The child's father greeted her a little embarrassedly: "The child is ignorant, just talking nonsense, we really didn't want to buy a cat." But when he entered the door, he saw the most conspicuous teahouse rules, and he wanted to buy a cat too here. Trouble, I really want to raise it, it is better to go directly to the pet store.
And although this orange cat is very beautiful and docile, he can definitely get cheaper or even free ones from pet stores or even on the street. It is easy to make his son happy. There is absolutely no need to buy cats with so many rules and regulations.
Of course, it was impossible to say these hidden lines, but Lin Lan still guessed part of it from the other party's facial expressions. Suddenly, the smile on her face became more programmed.
"That's it, then don't disturb the two of you." Before turning to leave, she glanced at the orange cat lying in the child's arms, "Gentleman, do you know that you're going to play with Child Xu in the teahouse today? See you next time. I don't know when."
The orange cat who understood Lin Lan's words suddenly wilted with anticipation, and let out a listless meow: (I got it, Lan Lan.) They refused to take it away.
Sure enough, on the first day of hunting, it is very difficult to find a two-legged beast that only loves it. It has to be a little more patient, just like when you are wandering, you are lying dead in the dead branches in order to hunt down sparrows. , will be able to catch the two-legged beast.
Lin Lan, who was sitting at the water bar, also recalled it now, and realized that the two cats who came at the same time, the cow cat was still in training, but the orange cat had already graduated early.
This kitten wants to find a long-term meal ticket by herself, and it is quite ambitious, and wants a cat to be the exclusive shit shovel officer.
Promising and promising, he is an ideal and self-motivated cat.
As the first kitten in the teahouse who was so motivated to sell himself, Manager Lin felt that he should help out and let the gentleman achieve his wish.
However, suitable guests cannot be found for a while, so you still need to be patient and wait.
Of course, it is impossible for the guests of the parent-child stall to stay in the teahouse for a long time. For the sake of the children, they will go home early, even if the children stay away, it is useless, so the life of the store manager and the staff is very easy.
Without any disturbances, the day's teahouse business was over.
Close the door, clean up the store, and close the store by pulling the shutter door.
As usual, Lin Lan put the cats in cages and brought them home. As soon as she climbed up to the third floor to open the door, a bird flapped its wings and swept past her, and the fan passed her face, causing her to scream in fright.
"Lanlan, don't be afraid, it's Xiaokui." Wang Xiuzhi, who was in the room, chased after the bird and held down the bird, comforting her daughter.
This rotten bird!
Lin Lan, who patted her heart, glared at the stray chicken angrily. She walked into the house and closed the door immediately: "Didn't you say you're locked in a cage? Why are you stocking it again?"
"Then why are we stocking it!" Wang Xiuzhi grabbed the parrot and shoved it into the large bird cage on the balcony, closed the cage door, and looked at it angrily, "It's this The bird pulled the cage down by itself and ran out! When I went home from shopping, I was shocked to see it come out!"
As she was talking, the broken bird fluttered onto the fence of the cage and grabbed it as if it was showing off. It took two minutes to unlock the cage door and push it open by itself.
"Run out! Run out!" After escaping the prison in public, the free-standing chicken struttingly stepped on the floor and repeated a word from Wang Xiuzhi's words just now, obviously heard several times before. , and learn it quickly.
Odd birdie.
Lin Lan didn't have time to care about it at the moment, but turned to look at the group of cats that had not been released from their cages. Many of the kittens were very interested in the moving birds not far away, and some of them had already started. Squat down on your stomach in a stance you want to pounce.
"Hello!" Lin Lan had to pat the cage, "Little cats, I told you about the bird coming to my house today, right? I also told you about the consequences of eating this bird. After a full meal, everyone must be able to tell the difference, right?"
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the hearts of the cats were suddenly extinguished.
Almost forgot, Lan Lan said that if a cat dared to eat a bird that came in the house, the cat would be expelled from the teahouse and not allowed to be hired. Doesn't this mean that he violated the rules of the boss, and then he was kicked out of the ethnic group and could no longer receive shelter or food!
Thinking of such a serious consequence, all the cats began to meow.
"Meow... Meow!" (Lan Lan won't know, we have cat food to eat, so we can't despise this bird with little meat!)
Lin Lan nodded with satisfaction: "I knew everyone was a well-mannered kitty, so let's reward you with dried fish at night."
The cats cheered louder, but she was relieved.
It's dangerous, if it wasn't for being proficient in cat language, she really couldn't convince these cats not to fight that bitch.
When Lin Youyu returned home from the store, he was frightened by the distinct situation of cats and birds in the house.
Because it wasn't just the birds that were let out of the cage, the cats were not in the cage either.
The parrot probably didn't dare to come to the living room because of fear, but Lin Youyu was really surprised that these cats could restrain their appetite and didn't pounce on the walking chicken.
"Why didn't you put it in the cage? It's too scary." Father Lin's first reaction was the same as his wife's, reaching out to catch the bird and stuffing it into the cage.
No one in the family said anything. Two minutes later, Xiaokui told him the answer with practical actions.
"Run out! Run out!" The big white parrot jumped out of the cage and continued to sway.
Lin Youyu: "..." I didn't realize it could kill so much before.
"Don't worry about it." Wang Xiuzhi grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed it into the food bowl in the cage, and the bird that just ran out of the cage took the initiative to enter the cage and happily started eating, "Lan Lan has already trained the cat, I promise not to bite it, just let it squirm for a while, then go downstairs to buy a lock to lock the cage door, and see how dare you open it!"
"Why don't I go buy it now?" Father Lin is not sure if he will see the bird when Lao Yu's family returns.
How much did this great white cockatoo cost? Ten thousand or how much? Small things with five figures, as expected, it is safer to tie a five-dollar lock.
Thinking of this, Father Lin couldn't sit still any longer and ran down.
The old father's intuition was right. He had a premonition that the bird would be bold and deadly, but he never thought that the bird could be even more deadly. After buying a lock, the family began to fly.
Dad went out to buy something, and the family simply waited for dinner. In order to prevent the kittens from being unable to restrain their instincts, Lin Lan repeatedly ordered and declared to the birds. The cats were used to obeying her request, but they were really old. Honestly stay in your own place and rest.
However, they didn't go looking for trouble, but the bird dared to come over by itself.
This bitch took advantage of the effort that no one noticed, and sneaked up to peck the tail of the cat who was playing with its back to it.
"Meow!"
Under the sudden pain, the two silly cats who were just joking, thought it was the other's hand, and suddenly turned into a real fight.
