New Year's Day, 8:30 in the morning.
"Wei Yan, thank you for being on duty on New Year's Eve! It's my turn during the day, so go back and rest!"
A company with only a few people on duty has ushered in a shift change period, and colleagues who are also hard-working on-duty employees immediately hand over their work to their night-shift colleagues after going to work.
When she finally got off work, Miss Wei breathed a sigh of relief. After introducing her work matters with dark circles under her eyes, she smiled weakly to her colleague: "I'll leave it to you to watch. I can't do it anymore, I have to go back to sleep."
"Are you all right?" The colleague was quite worried, and hurriedly handed her an omelet and soy milk in his hand, "This is the breakfast I brought you, why don't you eat some before leaving?"
"Thank you." Miss Wei, who was so tired after working the night shift, had no appetite at all. She just drank all the warm soy milk in one breath. After recovering her energy, she said hello and left.
She staggered and swiped her card to leave the company building, and the male colleague who was watching also looked at her sympathetically: "Wei Yan's luck is too bad."
Years ago, the company drew lots to decide the employees on duty during the Spring Festival. Unfortunately, Wei Yan was the only girl among the unlucky ones who were drawn.
Working overtime during the Spring Festival, even if the salary is tripled, sometimes there is no way to ease the depression in my heart, not to mention the night shift.
Miss Wei, that is, Wei Yan works in an Internet company. The software developed by the company in recent years is very popular, which makes the employees very busy, especially the programmers who work there. Women are used by men and men are used by men. When used as livestock, it is common to work overtime until the night without returning. Even the few female code farmers are not spared. You can see what the situation is when they are on duty during the Spring Festival and show no mercy to their lesbians.
But this also means that the company is very profitable and profitable, and the boss is not stingy. Knowing that this class of go-getters who are at risk of balding every day is very hard, they are given enough wages and benefits, and everyone is suffering. Work happily.
"I'm so tired..." The moment she got on the subway, Miss Wei let out a soulful breath.
There are very few people going to work during the Spring Festival. At this time, many people are still burying their beds. It is probably the most gratifying thing for Miss Wei to not have to squeeze the subway with those people. The relatively empty subway car also makes her extremely relaxed.
The train started, the engine rumbled, Miss Wei looked up at the fluorescent lamp on the top of the carriage, her eyes and expressions were empty, I don't know if she was wandering or numb.
This is the norm for her work, there is nothing to complain about, at least she has a generous salary.
Just like her family, an ordinary family of four, her parents went out early and returned late to earn money, raising her and her younger brother. Wei Yan grew up in an ordinary way, went to school in an ordinary way, and joined a job in an ordinary way. She has never felt that she has anything outstanding, nor does she feel that she is inferior to others.
It was not until her brother who was two years younger than her got married and her parents spent all their savings to buy a house for him but never mentioned it to her, she finally realized that her status in the family was not as high as she thought.
Wei Yan doesn't complain, her parents have never treated her badly since she was a child, and she has never had any conflicts with her younger brother, but her heart is suddenly empty, and she is more confused about the world.
Then, she worked harder, became a better programmer and got a better offer, which is her current job.
After working hard in this company for several years, she also has hundreds of thousands of savings and wants to buy a place of her own in Xicheng. The family supported her when they knew about her plan, and they said that they would find ways to raise more money for her to decorate after she bought the house.
This year's year-end double salary is also quite generous. If she didn't like to buy a house in full, she could go to see the house and make a down payment last year.
Life was obviously going well, but Miss Wei was empty in her heart.
She doesn't like to socialize, she doesn't like to dress up, and at home she just wants to be paralyzed and unwilling to move, not to mention the time-consuming and laborious love, reading the code is much easier than picking a man.
The only joy is to watch the numbers in the passbook pile up higher and higher after being busy.
If a person's heart is a field, her field should be considered relatively barren, right
Although it is not that there is nothing, but at most it is full of weeds. Miss Wei thought so.
[When the train arrives at XXX station in front of the train, the train will open the door on the right side. Passengers who want to get off please…]
The horn sounded in the carriage, indicating that she had arrived at the stop where she should get off. Miss Wei picked up her backpack and lowered her head out of the subway.
It was already bright outside, and there were still not many pedestrians on the street after nine o'clock. The cold wind mixed with a few pieces of fine snow blew, and the drowsiness that Miss Wei had cultivated in the subway disappeared.
It's new year...
The mobile phone in her pocket vibrated at this time. Miss Wei took it out and saw that it was a call from her hometown. She silently pressed it and put it to her ear.
[sister! happy New Year!]
She received a New Year's call from her brother.
"Well, Happy New Year.... I'm doing fine here. I was on the night shift yesterday, and I was a little tired... The company rules, I can't do anything, I'm always tiring to make money... I can't go home for the New Year, so the two of you should take care of me. Mom and Dad…”
[Okay, sister! I know! Have you received the New Year's goods sent to you years ago? Remember to get it and eat it, making money is important as well as your body, don’t work too hard!]
"I will, thank you for the New Year's goods that I like to eat.... Next year, I don't know if I can return next year, it all depends on the company... "
Worrying about her finishing the night shift, the other end of the phone didn't chat with her for too long. At the end, she told her to go back to sleep quickly, just call her parents at night, and the communication was quickly hung up.
Miss Wei stared at the phone with a black screen for a while, then stuffed it back into her pocket.
"It's the New Year..." She took a deep breath from her mouth, warmed her cold hands, raised her feet and continued to move forward.
After leaving the subway and turning right at the intersection ahead, the place she rented was just across the street. The distance of a few hundred meters was very convenient. Moreover, although there is no elevator in that building and you need to climb the stairs, the other facilities are good, clean and safe. The landlord still lives downstairs.
Just like the big cat who broke into her house and stole food that night, and the last time she took the liberty of requesting to change floors...
"Meow!"
During the walk, a shadow suddenly appeared in the green belt next to it, which scared the wandering Miss Wei back a step.
When Dingqing saw it, it was a gray and white long-haired cat that stopped a few steps in front of her. Instead of running away, she stood there and barked at her again.
"Meow!"
The little voice was nice, but Miss Wei saw it staring straight at the omelet bag she was wearing on her wrist.
... It turned out to be for food.
Wei Yan hesitated and opened the plastic bag. The egg cakes that had been kept outside were cold by now. The cake smell when her colleague handed it to her was gone, but it didn't mean that the little things at her feet couldn't smell it. The cry became louder and louder.
"I don't know what you can eat..." She flipped through the rolled omelette and found a ham sausage cut into two pieces. "This should be edible. Here's it for you."
The ham sausage dipped in some tomato sauce was picked out and placed in front of the stray cat. The other party quickly devoured it, and Wei Yan was a little surprised by the look of eating too hard.
It must have been hungry for a long time.
A fine snow fell from the sky, sprinkled little by little on Miss Wei's face, and also fell on the messy long hair of the stray cat, which trembled slightly from time to time. Miss Wei, who was planning to leave, softened and took off the backpack from her back.
"Wait a minute, I remember that I still have a fish sausage in my bag." How can a brain worker not have energy supplements, Miss Wei's bag is naturally prepared with snacks, and after flipping through it, only the last one is left, and the rest It's all chocolate stuff.
She tore the fish sausage from the package and handed it to the cat. The other party would not refuse anyone who came, and he ate as much as he wanted, as if trying to fill his stomach.
Is it okay to eat like this? She just fed two intestines and didn't support it, right
Ms. Wei has no experience in raising pets, and her parents and relatives have never raised pets at home. In my memory, only the neighbors would throw the leftover rice porridge into the bowls of cats and dogs. That is to say, when she moved here, she has seen the landlord raise her. Little cat, I heard that cats can't eat too much.
Feeling that she was doing something bad with good intentions, the program Yuan shrank her neck, carried Bao Lisuo on her back, and was about to flee the scene.
It was just that she had just stepped out a certain distance, and there was a sound of "meow ya ya" from behind. It was the cat who was running and calling and chasing after her. Because she ran in a hurry, the sound was jolted and dissipated.
"Meow~" the gray-white long-haired cat called out and quickly overtook Miss Wei.
Then, it fell to her feet and lay on its back, turning out its belly to her.
"Meow!"
New Year's Day, the first day of the new year.
Miss Wei was swayed by a cat.
"Don't follow me!"
Walking to the crossroads, crossing the zebra crossing, and crossing numerous roadblocks, the gray-white longhaired cat followed behind Miss Wei firmly.
"How can you be like this cat!"
Even though Miss Wei had reached the entrance of the stairs of the small building, and even climbed a flight of stairs, the cat was still chasing behind her feet.
Miss Wei once again experienced the collapse when she was eaten by a big cat at night.
At the same time, in the old Lin family house on the third floor above, Lin Lan was forced to wake up with a pair of panda eyes.
As expected, she didn't sleep well last night, she finally squinted a bit, and was awakened by the suffocation in her chest, mouth and nose. When I opened my eyes, I saw a cow cat sleeping with her head on her face, and then there were two black cats and a Siamese on her chest and abdomen. Mention, when I lift the quilt, I can still see a number of big and small cats that got in at some point.
Lin Lan: "..."
It's her fault. There aren't many cats in this bed, but there are obviously more people like her.
"Get up, get up!" Feeling that she couldn't let them continue to delay her sleep time, Lin Lan ruthlessly woke the kittens, "Let me go to the new house to play, and dinner will be served in a while!"
When she heard that dinner was about to begin, the kittens who were planning to pretend to be asleep or pretend to be inaudible quickly stood up. Lin Lan immediately admired the yawning and stretching postures of various kittens.
"Meow!" (Lan Lan, breakfast!)
"Meow!" (I still want to eat last night's meal!)
"No!" Manager Lin was ruthless, "That's a special meal for New Year's Eve, you can only eat it once a year!" Of course it was delicious. Last night's cat meal cost only four figures for the ingredients. what.
The kittens were not disappointed, because Lan Lan said that Lao Zhou's grilled dried fish will be served in the past few days during the Spring Festival, which is also very fragrant.
In order to get back to sleep, Lin Lan was too lazy to change her clothes. She put on a thick padded jacket and drove the cats to the new house next door, where a heated carpet was also prepared, so that the cats would not freeze.
Just as she opened the door and walked in the corridor, she heard the voice of Miss Wei on the fourth floor coming from the direction of the corridor.
"Don't follow, you don't follow!"
"I didn't think about raising a cat, you find another home!"
Lin Lan's half-drowsy eyes suddenly lost sleepiness, and walked towards the corridor with a step.
As soon as they reached the entrance of the stairs, they saw that Miss Wei had already climbed up the legs of the fourth floor, and she was chasing a gray-white long-haired cat a few steps away.
"Everyone said don't follow me... ugh...!" Miss Wei said with a very frustrated sigh.
The cat that had followed her up to the fourth floor was still barking at her: "Meow—"
This meow made Lin Lan look strange at the entrance of the stairs.
Miss Wei finally surrendered: "Okay, I'll take care of you, I can't take care of you, come in, alas-"
Lin Lan stood there and heard the soft sound of the door opening and closing, and there was no movement, and Lin's father, who came out to see the door in the old house, saw his daughter, and couldn't help but come over: "What are you doing?"
On the other hand, I saw my daughter's smirking and gossip face: "Dad, Miss Wei upstairs is going to be a cat grandma."

Miss Wei: So I'm a pick-up man!
