Mingming had just met not long ago, and it was because of the little girl's reckless behavior that she talked about the other party's illness.
How could she think about the cat in her teahouse
Manager Lin subconsciously put the orange cat in his arms to protect it. It is impossible to give it to a cat. Even if a normal tea customer wants the cat in her teahouse, he still needs to investigate the situation, not to mention that this one is so special.
According to this little girl's mental state of crying and crying if she didn't achieve her goal, Lin Lan would never have handed over the gentleman to this family.
Seeing the vigilant action of the store owner to protect the cat and hide, Ms. Xiao, who had opened her mouth to buy a cat, suddenly woke up and knew what the other party was worrying about. Although she felt embarrassed, she continued to speak cheekily for the sake of her daughter: "I'm sorry. Ah boss, my request is a bit abrupt, but sincerity is absolutely not adulterated. I can guarantee that I will treat this kitten well, you see... "
"Guest, maybe you didn't have time to visit my shop because of an accident." Lin Lan interrupted the other party with a smile, "The cats in my teahouse are indeed allowed to be taken away, but the rules are clearly posted there. In order to ensure the stable life of the cat in the future, the conditions are still quite cumbersome, you may wish to take a look first."
Although the condition of the child is worrying, it can also make people sweat when they lose their temper. Lin Lan will not push the gentleman into a strange place that may be a fire pit so casually.
Under the guidance of the clerk, Ms. Xiao saw the clearly posted rules for collar cats in the store. She thought that she could achieve her goal by spending more money, and her face showed an irrepressible disappointment.
"We are also very sorry about Yaoyao's situation, but the gentleman is also a member of the teahouse that I value very much, and he will never be taken away lightly." The owner of the store hugged the cat back, looking down at Yaoyao, "and your lady loves it. In the current situation, I doubt that your family will be able to meet the requirement of 'treating well'."
The woman's face froze again. She was rejected outright and pointed out the reason directly. Her current expression really doesn't look good.
But no matter how ugly Lin Lan was, she didn't have any thoughts of apology. Now Lin Lan could see clearly the mother's mentality. She just wanted to spend a lot of money to buy a treatment tool for her daughter, and she didn't care about the cat itself. If it works, she may take good care of it for food and drink; if it doesn't help her condition, let the mother hope to become disappointed, who knows what will happen to the gentleman in the future.
But Ms. Xiao really didn't want to give up like this, and was still fighting for the right to buy.
"Boss, you can't be accommodating. I can guarantee to buy the best cat food and other related supplies for this cat. If it can save my daughter, our family... "
This unfounded "guarantee" made Wang Jiayi, who had been beside him, unable to listen, and couldn't help interrupting: "Guest, first of all, can you guarantee that Yaoyao will not suddenly hurt the gentleman?"
Ms. Xiao got stuck all of a sudden. Thinking of her daughter's arrogant appearance when she was out of temper, she even hurt herself.
Her reaction also made the other two shop assistants reflect the mother's true state of mind. Although it is not wrong to think about her daughter, it is also reasonable for the teahouse to consider cats.
The atmosphere on both sides of the store cooled down all of a sudden.
Ms. Xiao hugged her daughter, her head down with a look of loss. The other side was silent.
In such an atmosphere, a meow broke the silence. It was the orange cat in Lin Lan's arms.
(Lan Lan, I seem to have... seen this little two-legged beast somewhere.)
The gentleman was lying in Lin Lan's arms, tilting his head and looking down at the little girl opposite.
Because Ms. Xiao looked at the rules and regulations posted on the wall, everyone was standing away from the table at the moment, Yaoyao was leaning against her mother's shoulders, and she suddenly raised her head when she heard the meowing , with a look of joy in his eyes, he raised his arms and raised his head towards the cat in Lin Lan's arms: "Meow! Meow meow! Yellow meow! Hug!"
While Ms. Xiao instinctively held down her daughter to prevent her from getting into trouble, Lin Lan also reflexively stepped back and let the little girl catch up.
The orange cat also called to her: "Meow-" (That's the posture! I remembered, this little two-legged beast fell into a deep hole very stupidly, and I was stupid enough to want me to jump in too, I just remembered it. Not as stupid as she is!)
Manager Lin, who was stunned after hearing this, said, "...!?"
What the hell! Co-authoring is not the two cats who look alike, but the cat in question, Meow!
Thinking back carefully, this is indeed a very likely thing to happen, after all, the gentleman was still a stray cat a year ago.
Adults think that the child is misidentified because it looks like it, but in fact, it is the child who directly recognized the life-saving cat.
The gentleman doesn't know what's in the human mind. He tilted his head and looked at the little two-legged beast he rescued a year ago: "Meow—" (I wasn't smart at first, but now it seems to be even more stupid.)
Manager Lin silently raised his hand and pressed the kitten's head and rubbed it. You kitty will despise children less.
"Meow! Huang Miao, hug!" Yaoyao, who was held by her mother and couldn't move, persevered, raised her arms high towards the cat, and stood up on tiptoe, as if the scene after falling into the abandoned well was recreated.
As a mother, seeing her child like this, how could Ms. Xiao have the heart, just as she was about to make another request, the store manager Lin opposite suddenly stepped forward and approached them.
"Yaoyao, it's not called Huang Miao, it's called a gentleman." Lin Lan was slightly short and showed her the cat in her arms when the child couldn't reach it, "Would you like to hug it? Say it."
"I want to!" The little girl who had never answered anyone's question answered crisply, "I want to hug!"
This scene made Ms. Xiao stunned directly, almost surprised and happy: "Yaoyao, you will take care of people?"
The girl did not respond to her mother, her eyes still staring eagerly at the orange cat opposite.
Lin Lan stared at the girl's eyes carefully. At this time, the child's eyes were very lively, a kind of lively reaction because she caught the thing she was most concerned about.
"Yaoyao, the cat can give you a hug, but you have to make a promise that you must not hurt the gentleman." Lin Lan continued to communicate with her tentatively, "If you can agree, say it out loud."
"I won't hurt Huang Miao!" The little girl assured loudly, her words were clear and coherent, "Huang Miao has always been with me, I like Huang Miao the most!"
"Yaoyao...!" Ms. Xiao covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face in surprise.
It's been a year, and I haven't seen my daughter communicate with people normally like this for a whole year. The more she thought about it, the more fiery she looked at the cat in the boss's arms. If it weren't for the robbery, this mother could really take action right away.
Lin Lan didn't pay attention to the reaction of the child's mother at this time. All her attention was on Yaoyao and the gentleman.
After getting the consent of the orange cat and saying that he was willing to play with the little girl, Manager Lin really let go: "Then I'll give you a hug from the gentleman. Liars are puppy."
Saying so, she carefully handed the cat over.
At this time, both Ms. Xiao and Wang Jiayi were cautiously waiting, and if something went wrong, they would come to the rescue at any time.
It is not difficult for a seven-year-old child to hold a cat, especially the manager Lin has been keeping an eye on the weight of the cat in the teahouse, so that the most edible big orange has no chance of gaining weight at all, so Yaoyao hugged the gentleman easily A full.
When she firmly hugged the cat according to the instructions, the satisfaction and sense of security on the cute face of the little girl instantly made all the adults in the field stunned.
"Miaomiao, Huang Miao..." Yaoyao gently rubbed her face against the cat's body, the recklessness and arrogance that she had shown before was completely gone, it was a gentleness without aggression.
Or rather, cherish.
At this moment, Lin Lan finally confirmed one thing completely.
On the day that the gentleman helped mankind save Yaoyao, he has become a very important existence in the little girl's heart. It was the key to activating the child's emotional area, and the key continuation of the emotional connection she had lost for a year.
Before the adults found and rescued her, an orange cat sitting at the mouth of an abandoned well accompanied her until it was dark.
After Yaoyao hugged the gentleman, the whole person became quiet. It was a gentle quietness, not the deadly quietness at the beginning, which made her mother cry several times.
"It's been a year, I should say more than a year... I've been looking forward to it in my dreams... "
Although Yaoyao cannot be said to be a complete autistic child, because autism is basically brought out of her mother's womb, the symptoms she shows after being stimulated are really similar to that disease. Families with autistic children can be said to be insulated from laughter in the rest of their lives, and confusion and despair are the theme songs that last all year round.
Now that the child has suddenly changed so much because of the stimulation of a cat, how can a mother not cry, and even want to pour out all the fear and sadness that have been accumulated for so long.
It's a pity that the ruthless store manager Lin didn't give her a chance: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Xiao, I still keep the original decision, the gentleman will not let you take it away today." Before waiting for the woman on the other side to get excited, she added, " However, the two of you can come to the teahouse every day to sit and sit. Yaoyao did not hurt the gentleman at all, which changed my opinion of her. I can promise that as long as the two come, the gentleman will come to accompany Yaoyao. As for whether I can take the cat with me in the future Go home? ... Mrs. Xiao, you understand."
Pointing to the rules for the collar cat in the teahouse, Lin Lan smiled at the other party.
Mrs. Xiao's lips moved, and she looked back at her daughter. The orange cat was lying on Yaoyao's lap. The little girl lowered her head and stroked the cat's fur again and again, and the cat's tail swayed leisurely. The afternoon sun shone on the man and the cat, softening the woman's face.
"Then do as the boss says," she finally said.
After a year of pain and suffering, the hope of healing is in sight. For her daughter, what else can she not compromise
In this way, after Miss Wang before the part-time job, the second pair of customers who entered the teahouse as soon as it opened in the morning and left only after closing in the afternoon appeared.
But this is more special for the client's situation, others are for leisure, they are for medical treatment.
Because of the gentleman's company, Yaoyao has never shown the excited and manic attitude of the first meeting. The little girl who still doesn't talk much looks quiet and cute, without causing any worries about whether it will affect other guests.
"I am now sure that this child is not really autistic." Song Xinmin muttered, "This should be regarded as stress-type self-isolation. After finding the correct treatment method, the speed of cure is also very fast."
After staying in the teahouse for less than a week, Yaoyao, who only cares about people unless she is holding a cat, will occasionally respond to others even if she doesn't have a cat in her hands.
With such a beginning, everything went smoothly after that. Yaoyao was gradually getting better at a speed visible to the naked eye, and slowly became a normal child.
Of course, when the cat therapy is in progress, Manager Lin will not miss the gentleman's evaluation of Yaoyao's mother and daughter.
"Gentleman, Yaoyao seems to like you very much." After closing one day, Lin Lan asked the orange cat how it felt, "If they said they wanted to take you home, would you go?"
Hearing this question, the gentleman wagged his tail cheerfully: "Meow." (Yes! I can feel that Yaoyao likes me the most!)
"I see." Manager Lin nodded when he heard the sound. The senses of animals are much more sensitive than those of humans. After so many days of intimate contact, gentlemen can naturally distinguish Yaoyao's emotions, and Lin Lan, who has been personally confirmed, also started to do it. What to do next.
This may really be a fate. A stray cat once unintentionally made a bond between it and humans.
Ms. Xiao later found out that the manager of the teahouse, Lin, always used the name of treating Yaoyao to let her daughter learn how to take care of cats, what cat food preferences for orange cats, favorite grooming techniques, favorite cat strokes, sleeping Where do I like to squat... All these messes have been instilled in my daughter's head, and she can't help crying when she hears the mother's face.
It's not so much to teach her daughter, it's actually for her, an adult, right
Ms. Xiao complained like this on the face, but she was secretly overjoyed, which meant that the owner of the store had let go and allowed them to take the cat home.
She got one of them right, but missed the real change in her daughter.
"Mom, I'll give you a drink." In a teahouse one day, a seven-year-old girl brought a cup of milk tea to her mother and looked up at her. Although there was still no expression on her face, she could see it. She watched her biological mother carefully, "Taking care of the gentleman is very tiring but I like it very much. The store manager's sister said that my mother is even more tiring to take care of me. I'll give you a drink."
Seeing that her mother didn't move, she handed the cup forward again.
Ms. Xiao, who had never thought of this day, took the milk tea and glanced at the water bar subconsciously. The shop owner was smiling at her. Then she turned to look at her daughter again, knowing what had happened, she couldn't hold back any longer, and hugged the child tightly in her arms, completely crying.
Three days later, the gentleman became the first cat to be led away in the teahouse.
All three members of the Xiao family came that day, and they were grateful and respected for Lin Lan, who had given great help.
During the time they stayed in the teahouse, the Xiao family had long recognized the owner's miraculous cat-taming skills. Every cat here is extremely humane and taught very well, and can even be cured gradually through cats. Their Yaoyao, even if it was just a coincidence, could not change their admiration for it.
"Just ask three gentlemen. Yaoyao, treat it well. If you treat it badly, I will go to your house and bring it back."
"No way, the store manager! I like the gentleman the most. He is the best kitty in the world!"
After completing a series of rigorous procedures, the little girl Yaoyao carried a gentleman's cat bag on her back, smiled and waved to the people in the teahouse, then took her parents' hands and jumped away.
The next day, Lin Lan received a video from Ms. Xiao. Their family prepared a series of supplies and cat food for gentlemen. The Xiao family even had a small yard, which was full of plants that were said to be Yaoyao's favorite little daisy.
A week later, a new video came. One is a scene where a gentleman who has fully adapted to his new home is chasing Yaoyao in the yard, while the other...
"Lanlan, what are you watching? The Xiao family has sent a new video?" Wang Jiayi came over curiously.
"This is it." Lin Lan showed her the screen.
In the video, Yaoyao was lying on the desk in front of the windowsill and was painting with crayons. At this moment, an orange cat jumped in from the outside yard, holding a small pale pink flower in its mouth. came to her.
At the end of the picture, the little girl picks up the daisy and happily hugs the cat into her arms.
