The morning was bright and everything in the urban village had already recovered.
The pace of life in Xicheng is not fast. The stalls in the snack bar downstairs are all set up for three hours. When the buns alone have sold dozens of drawers, the old Lin family is full and ready to go downstairs and open the canteen. .
It was Lin Youyu who went to the shop to open the door. Wang Xiuzhi was not in a hurry. She and Grandma Lin were tidying up the green onions and leeks they had just brought back.
"Mom, your vegetables look so good and clean." Picking up the leeks in her hands, removing the yellow leaves and old skin, Wang Xiuzhi praised the old lady sitting opposite, "I also have vegetables growing on the balcony. , why didn't you serve me well?"
After hearing this, Grandma Lin looked back at the two pots of small greens planted on the balcony of her daughter-in-law's house. She saw several rows of green and yellow greens standing in the two pots of foam box filled with soil. She was an old lady who was also a good farmer when she was young. Immediately frowned, he said angrily, "According to your cultivation method, you won't be able to eat a vegetable until it dries up. Forget it today, and tomorrow you will find a time to pluck all these up, and I will find a bag of seeds to teach you how to plant it. "
Wang Xiuzhi responded embarrassedly. Sure enough, she shouldn't have seen her mother-in-law's balcony growing well, so she tried to grow two pots on the balcony on a whim.
While they were sitting there packing the dishes, Lin Lan changed her clothes and opened the door and walked out of the bedroom.
She combed a ponytail and wore a very capable workplace suit. She looked like she was wearing a purse and she knew that she had business to do, which attracted the old lady and Wang Xiuzhi to look over.
"Yo, I just heard that you submitted your resume online yesterday, and a company wants you to interview today?" Wang Xiuzhi shouted to her daughter in surprise, her face a little surprised.
This season is not a peak recruitment period. It is quite rare for a girl who has been at home for a few days to respond as soon as she submits her resume.
"Maybe there's a shortage of people." Lin Lan just replied, her calf was rubbed by something fluffy, and when she looked down, the big white cat at home was spinning around her legs, "Snowflake." Lin Lan smiled and held the cat up, "I'm going out, and I'll be back at the latest at night. Will I bring you your favorite mutton skewers?"
The white cat that was lifted up and hung in the air was not afraid, its tail hung there naturally, and called out to Lin Lan, "Meow."
"It's not going to hunt for food, it should be considered a spot." Lin Lan replied to the cat, "If the spot is successful, I will go hunting there in the future, and I can go home every day."
"Meow-"
"It's not too far, it takes half an hour to ride the little electric donkey at home. The industrial park is still quite close."
"Meow meow."
"Yeah, if I hunt there regularly in the future, I'll buy you your favorite canned salmon every week, okay?"
"Meow!"
Not far away, my mother and my grandmother were holding leeks in their hands, but they looked at the person and the cat on the other side with a strange look. The day after Lan Lan came home, it suddenly became like this. I used to play with the big white cat at home and can understand it. Now you say something and it meows like a real conversation. It looks strange and strange. funny.
"I acted like I really understood what it said." Wang Xiuzhi muttered first, and then raised her voice to her daughter, "Don't play with the cat, hurry up when you go to the interview, don't miss the time. "
"No, I'll pinch better." Lin Lan put the cat down, turned her head and replied, "Mom, grandma, then I'm leaving, I won't be back for dinner at noon."
"Got it, come back early tonight!"
"Meow-"
When Lin Lan walked to the door, Snowflake was also sent there, and when she sat there and yelled at her, she flicked her long tail.
Wang Xiuzhi heard her daughter suddenly burst into a smile: "Mom, Xuehua said that at noon it wants to eat the chicken breast I bought for it yesterday, and it needs to be freeze-dried with fish. Remember to mix it in."
The door was slammed shut with a clatter, leaving behind shocked Wang Xiuzhi and Mrs. Lin, as well as a big white cat who had trotted back to rub their legs.
Wang Xiuzhi's desire to beg for food made Wang Xiuzhi slowly regain her senses. She couldn't help being angry and laughing, she gently nudged the cat to the side with her calf: "You're really fine, so you know that Lan Lan is begging for you just now. It's delicious, isn't it?"
The old lady also nodded: "This cat is good and has spirituality. As expected of Lan Lan's efforts to rescue and raise such a big cat before, it is really human."
Grandma Lin didn't know yet that there were many more "spiritual and humane" cats brought back by her granddaughter in the future.
Like other fast-developing cities, Xicheng has also built many industrial parks with the support of the government in recent years, and companies large and small are located in them, which also provides many opportunities for employment.
Lin Lan worked in the 3D printing department of a media company when she was in the capital. She was in charge of the 3D model technology. She had worked there for two or three years, so she was no stranger to operating machines and printing products by herself. If you learn quickly and do well, you will get a chance to be promoted to supervisor.
Now back home, everything has to start all over again. The conditions on the Xicheng side are naturally far inferior to those on the Magic Capital side. There were no such companies even a few years ago, but it is better than nothing. Lin Lan also didn't want to change careers to work in a game company to make models. It would be great to continue 3D printing.
A small electric donkey was dragged out of the basement of the small building. Lin Lan put on his helmet and rode it to the non-motorized vehicle lane on the road.
The old Lin family didn't buy a car. First, they are locals, and their familiar relatives and friends are not needed in Xicheng. Second, there is a bus stop from the small building. It is very convenient to go anywhere, even if you are impatient and wait for the bus to ride a battery car Enough is enough; three times... The Lin family, from the old to the young, thinks it's troublesome to get a driver's license, and no one is happy to toss around the car.
"Don't buy a car, don't buy it." When an outsider mentioned this, Lin Youyu waved his hand and refused, "There are actually so many people who really need a car, and many people are too busy with mortgage loans to take out a car loan. , the rear car insurance, road toll, toll and fuel costs are not money, do you really feel bad when you pay for it? To put it bluntly, buying a car is just for the sake of face. But do you think my family lacks this face? "
When Father Lin said this, his own building was behind him, and his back was straight. After that, no one asked him about it again.
Small electric donkeys are convenient and fast, as long as they follow very simple traffic rules, they can travel unimpeded in the city. They can describe it with envy and jealousy.
Just like now.
Also waiting for the traffic light, Lin Lan glanced at the tightly blocked motorway next to her, her expression calm and faintly smug.
Until her eyes accidentally swept to the driver's seat of the car in front of her, there was a young driver with the window open, probably to catch up with work, so she took breakfast on the road and took advantage of the opportunity to wait for the red light. He peeled off a piece of King of Kings ham sausage and held it in his hand.
But he didn't eat it, instead he held it in the position where his hand stretched out to the car window and shook it towards the opposite side, as if to show off.
At first, Lin Lan was a little puzzled, until she tilted her head and stretched her neck to look forward, and saw that the driver was swaying his King of Kings in front of a golden retriever sitting on the owner's little electric donkey.
The big dog was so fooled by him that his tongue stuck out and his mouth was breathing straight, but because of the golden retriever's excellent quality, he didn't move, he just stepped on his claws in place, so the king of kings swayed even more.
Lin Lan: "..." Someone who owes a lot.
Fortunately, the man didn't play for too long. He was worried that the red light time was short and quickly took it back and ate it by himself. Due to the angle, Lin Lan could only see the arm in the silver suit sticking out of the window, and the arm he was driving. The blue Big Ben is wearing, and the license plate number is still local to Xicheng. As for what this cheap and funny dog looks like, I don't know.
With the green light on, the tide of cars surged again, and the rumbling of the engines merged into one.
Twenty minutes later, Lin Lan arrived at the industrial park where the Mianshi company was located. After a little groping, he found the place and entered the company.
When applying for technicians, the company usually conducts technical tests in addition to basic interviews. Lin Lan is no exception. After this job application was over, it was almost 12 noon when Lin Lan walked out of the company. She hurried out to find food. .
She was so hungry that Lin Lan didn't bother to pick a place. She saw a convenience store that was the closest and went straight in.
Twenty minutes later, she was full and walked out with her unfinished lunch.
There should be no problem with the interview. The veteran who came back from the magic capital is so confident. Lin Lan recalled the salary and treatment. It was expected that it was a little worse than the previous company, but it was still within the acceptable range.
If nothing else, she should work in this company in the future.
Just thinking about it, a cat rang in my ears.
"Meow-meow, meow-" (Eat! Eat! Feed me, will you eat me?)
A stray cat with black and white patterns and a three-colored cat ran out of the bushes in the flower bed one after the other, and surrounded Lin Lan a few steps away, meowing at her.
These two cats are obviously used to being fed by people, and they are not afraid of people at all, and they are even very skilled in all kinds of begging poses. After Lin Lan squatted down helplessly and handed over the food in her hands, they immediately gathered around and chewed it honestly.
five minutes later.
"Meow-" (Are you going to hunt here in the future?)
Lin Lan, who was proficient in cat language, naturally talked to these two cats and ate the food she gave. The two nearby local cats also treated her very well, and it was the first time she met someone who could communicate with them. Humans, they all stayed to exchange a few words with her.
"Yeah, I've been foraging here without incident." With a rare opportunity, Lin Lan also wanted to ask these local cats, "That company over there... No, it's the people in that house, are you familiar with it? "She pointed to the location of the company she had applied for, and it wasn't too far away.
The two cats immediately meowed and replied: (I know, there are twolegs to give us food when we go there. We know a lot of things inside.)
"So what's the atmosphere like in that company? Uh... I mean, is there anyone in there who often fights or something."
"Meow!" (Yes, there were two-legged beasts arguing two days ago.)
There is a play! A glimmer of light flashed in Lin Lan's eyes: "What are they arguing about?"
"Meow, meow, meow-" (I don't understand, I just know they keep repeating full attendance... late... or something.)
"Meow-" (what 2 seconds... 8:30!)
As an animal that has lived with humans for a long time, cats can also understand some of the simplest vocabulary, such as eating and playing, but more complex terms that they will not understand, but it does not prevent the equivalent of two or three years old. Adult cats with child IQ memorize some repetitive pronunciations.
For example, now, the stray cats can't understand why the people in the company are quarreling, and what they are saying, but after the kittens recalled the words that were repeated very frequently and still had impressions when they were quarreling, Lin Lan still quickly thought. After making up for the feud between an ordinary employee and a personnel staff at that time, and after a little polishing, the ripping dialogue is restored as follows-
Employee: "Ask why my attendance bonus is gone this month, obviously I clock in and go to get off work on time every day!"
Personnel: "You were late for attendance one day."
Employee: "Impossible! I clock in on time every day, and I'm not late at all!"
Personnel: "If you don't believe me, take a look at the attendance sheet. The punch-in records of all employees in the company are here! Come and see your own!"
Employee: "Isn't it exactly 8:30! Isn't the company working hours at 8:30?"
Personnel: "The company stipulates that the working time is 8:30, but you can check the time you clocked in. It is 8:30:02. 2 seconds! Do you see it? You are late!"
Employee: "I *#&￥%... Two seconds counts as being late!?"
Personnel: "Two seconds count! Anything after 8:30 counts!"
Employee: "I'll go to your XX! What kind of bird company, labor and management quit!"
After the two stray cats sang and reconciled, Lin Lan understood the ins and outs of the matter, and also understood why the company suddenly recruited people.
And after listening to her, there was only one thought left: damn, she can't enter such a dog's unit!
The author has something to say: Don't believe it, a real case.
