I Can Talk to Cats

Chapter 9

Views:

Dad's hidden money from his private house is already very scheming. There are holes on the front and back of the latex pillow. He put the holes on the back. He can't sleep with himself.

But he forgot about the fact that the pillow will change the pillowcase after sleeping for a long time, even if it is a latex pillow.

Looking at the small hole that was filled with most of the pillow area, the old man has not saved enough money for a day or two. Now that he was found, not only the vault was empty, but he had to face unknown storms later.

No, no, Dad loves her so much, she can't let him fall into such a tragedy!

"Mom, what..." Lin Lan opened her mouth carefully, trying to calm her mother's emotions with words, for fear that she would suddenly burst out in silence like this and rushed downstairs to find her father to settle accounts, "This money..."

Wang Xiuzhi, who kept her head down and said nothing, raised her head and glanced at her daughter, and then smiled: "Do you think I will quarrel with your father?"

"No, no..." Lin Lan embarrassedly denied.

But Wang Xiuzhi was the old god. She put the pillow core on her knees, and took out a few small holes. In a blink of an eye, four or five sheets of Grandpa Mao were unfolded and stacked together and put into her pocket. Mother didn't move the remaining pink note, not only did she not take it away, but she also picked up the pillowcase she had thrown aside and put it back on.

When Lin Lan was completely confused by this set of operations, she heard her mother continue to instruct: "Lanlan, the pillowcases and sheets are not dirty, so we won't wash them, just change the quilt cover."

As she spoke, she put the pillow back on the head of the bed.

The mother's completely unexpected reaction made Lin Lan completely stunned: "Mom, didn't you take it all away? Why...?"

"Silly child." Wang Xiuzhi looked back at her, and saw her daughter's stunned face smile even more, "Men, if you don't have any money on hand, you will always panic. If he wants to hide, let him hide. Get married and live. , as long as it doesn’t involve the bottom line of principles, it’s okay to turn a blind eye to some things.”

Hearing what her mother said, Lin Lan remembered that although her parents always quarreled, real quarrels rarely happened, and she couldn't help but nodded in agreement. It seems to be the principle. If a husband and wife are preoccupied with everything, it is indeed very tiring. As long as they do not overdo each other, the life can be lived harmoniously.

This is the life wisdom of past people. The more Lin Lan thought about it, the more she admired her mother. At the same time, she was relieved and thankful that her father escaped.

Just as he was about to compliment him with a smile, his mother then lowered her voice and said, "You have to pretend that you don't understand this kind of thing. Just take a few sheets every few days like this, so that the water will continue to flow. Gone."

At the end, she also stretched out her index finger and made a gesture of quietness, and then flattened the sheets that were originally planned to be washed, so that someone who was hiding money from the private house would not think of the quilt cover when he came back and saw that the quilt was replaced. The small treasury has already been discovered, and they will still quietly put money into it later—anyway, after a long time, due to her husband's unsophisticated personality, he can't remember how much money he put in one or two pieces at a time.

Lin Lan was stunned when she saw this smooth Mission Impossible operation.

One morning, it passed in such a "muddiness and trance".

While standing on the balcony, Lin Lan stared at the high-end residential area opposite her with empty eyes, and when she unconsciously touched the leaves of cat grass with her right hand, she was slapped back to her senses by her own mother.

"Didn't you say make cat food for Xuehua?" Wang Xiuzhi, who was holding a spatula, handed over an apron, "I'll leave this work to you today."

Most people are very enthusiastic about the new things they want to contact for the first time, and Lin Lan is no exception. Four years ago, she brought Xuehua back, which was also the first time she wanted to raise a cat. For this, she spent a lot of money. Think less.

Like some big-name cat food on the market, such as some Wang and others have also bought it, and they really relied on them to raise Snowflakes well in the novice period, but later, I became more and more familiar with cat raising, and my grandma and mother at home kept saying "This is Food is more expensive than human beings, it is better to buy food and cook it yourself.” After brainwashing, he really started to make cat food by himself.

Snowflake is just an ordinary Chinese pastoral cat. She is good-looking and not picky eaters. After switching to homemade cat meals, she ate more deliciously, which made the old Lin family, who was also a first-time pet owner, feel very good.

Cooking cat meals is also one of her specialties. When college students have winter and summer vacations, Xuehua often eats cat meals she makes. After graduation, she has no time to go to work in the magic capital, so she can only cook occasionally. .

In the kitchen, my mother has prepared all the cat food ingredients such as chicken breast, fish, chicken liver, boiled eggs, and broccoli. Lin Lan can directly process it with a kitchen knife.

She fiddled around on the countertop, steamed the chicken and fish on the stove, and shredded it, and roasted and dried the chicken liver, saying it was a natural food attractant, and then added other things. Wang Xiuzhi also stood by and watched, and the girl's complicated cat meal recipe made the middle-aged woman frown: "No wonder the little things like snowflakes are more like to eat. What you did, this step is not so carefully done for people to eat."

Although Wang Xiuzhi also used these ingredients to make cat rice, the level of sophistication was completely incomparable to her daughter's.

"It's a cat, after all, its stomach can't be compared to a human's." Lin Lantou didn't respond. "Be careful with cat food, and Xuehua's health is better. It's better than sending money to the pet hospital every now and then, right?"

"... That's true." Wang Xiuzhi remembered that there was a little girl on the fourth floor who also had a pet cat. It was a very valuable blue cat. Dr. Liu from the pet clinic downstairs said that the cat's appearance was at least 5,000 yuan. The cat looked quite fat, with a big round face, but the little girl could always be seen running to the clinic with the cat in her arms. Burning money, fortunately, Snowflake is a local cat and rarely gets sick so he can support himself."

Although the family can live very well by the rent of the small building, it is not so bad for the money as the days go by.

Hearing her mother's muttering, Lin Lan could only helplessly smile. The two generations of parents and grandmothers have come here in hard times, so even if the rent has risen several times due to the economic boom, the family's conditions are already very good, but Still keep the habit of saving.

Therefore, although Lin Lan is also a second-generation housekeeper, the difference between a child and an ordinary child is not very big. At most, it is easier for parents to give money when they want to buy something that is not excessive. When she grows up, her values will also be shaped. Even if her parents give her a lot of living expenses every month, she will not squander it. She only likes to plan shopping and consumption.

The only madness and willfulness is that I broke up with my ex-boyfriend last month.

In one breath, it cost nearly 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. Apart from renting a car and hiring someone to act, most of it was on the limited-edition luxury windbreaker.

Pretend to be cool, wallet crematorium.

The windbreaker from the Xiang family will be sold online after a while. It is said that the limited edition luxury goods can sometimes be sold at a higher price than the original price, and it may be possible to make up for the previous losses.

While thinking about things, Lin Lan had already made five days' worth of cat food in one go, poured out part of what she ate today, and sealed the rest in a box and stored it in the refrigerator.

When she was at the end of the cat meal, Wang Xiuzhi also came over to make the family's lunch, and by the way, she instructed her daughter to continue to help.

At mealtime, Lin Youyu and Grandma Lin both walked home.

"Yo, today's steamed seabass!" Father Lin squinted when he saw the dishes on the table, "Mother Lan Lan, you are so kind, I cooked my favorite dish today!"

"Hmph." Mother Lin just hummed, "You're done with eating."

Lin Lan, who was holding chopsticks next to him, glanced at his father with a subtle expression on his face. The quilt on the balcony was still hanging outside. He didn't think of anything at all, let alone which grandfather Mao from the pillow the fish used. bought.

Grandma Lin sat down and couldn't wait to share what she saw when she came back: "I just passed by Xiao Liu's clinic and saw the girl Xiao Qian walking over with her cat again, and she walked in a hurry. I heard her push the door towards the door from a distance. It shouted from inside, "Doctor Liu, my Niuniu has a high fever and vomited and coughed up blood again, please help me! I don't know how much it will cost to get in this time."

"Qian Xuan's cat is sick again?" Lin Lan was stunned when she heard the words, "It seems that I heard that one of her blue cats had a belly, and she was rescued with great difficulty."

"Yeah, the girl spent seven or eight thousand a month just to treat that fetus." Wang Xiuzhi replied, "I really can't afford a precious cat, it's too expensive and too expensive."

"The blue cat's physical fitness is still good." Lin Lan said immediately, "Many people who keep pet cats like to choose this breed. It is a kitten that has been tested by the market."

"That's because you were tricked by cat dealers and bought sick ones back." Lin Youyu also said casually, "Little girls like you are the easiest to be deceived."

Is it an illusion? I always feel that there is something in the old father's words, but seeing his casual look, Lin Lan didn't answer, but changed the subject sharply: "Maybe she was negligent in other aspects. To say that Jin Gui's cat is the most popular right now. It’s still a Ragdoll. It’s beautiful but squeamish, and it is said that it has a glass stomach, and any purebred cat is 5 digits.”

"Hmph, it's not as good as snowflakes being able to catch mice." Grandma Lin dismissed this. In the old man's heart, cats that can't catch mice are not serious cats.

Lin Lan didn't say a word. According to the information she saw on the Internet, the puppet cat was useless except for its good looks, and it would never be in the eyes of the elderly.

But that's so pretty.

In the era of beauty, it is enough to look good.

After lunch, Lin Lan was never arrested by her mother again. For example, she asked her to clean up the table and wash the dishes. Snowflake's little cat that loved waves would not come back until dinner time in the evening. While doing nothing, she thought of Qian Xuan's blue sky. The cat, after thinking about it, went downstairs to the pet clinic next door.

This pet clinic opened here three years ago. The owner of the clinic, Dr. Liu, is a young man in his thirties. When he goes to work, he wears a white lab coat and thin-rimmed glasses. He looks polite. If it weren't for the fact that he opened a veterinary clinic, some people would believe that he was a doctor who treated people.

When Lin Lan pushed open the glass door and entered, she saw that Qian Xuan hadn't left, but her blue cat had been put in the pet bag, and she was talking to Dr. Liu at the moment.

"It's acute gastroenteritis. After the anti-inflammatory injection, don't give it food or water for at least 6 to 8 hours. Its stomach is very fragile now, and it needs rest instead of eating. After returning home, you should pay attention to keeping warm. It is best to have an electric blanket. Use it, lock it up and rest for a while." Dr. Liu is giving the sick cat's family a doctor's advice, and he is very careful, "After 8 hours, if it doesn't vomit, give it warm water and liquid food that can replenish energy. After that, you can feed it some intestinal ointment to regulate the cat's stomach... If you have other problems during the period, you can come to me immediately."

"Okay, okay!" Qian Xuan clutched the cat bag tightly, nodded her head like garlic, and said with gratitude, "Thank you, Dr. Liu, I was really frightened when I saw it vomited and coughed up blood. It's only been a few months... I've clearly paid close attention."

In the end, this girl in her twenties was full of frustration.

"Some things can't be avoided without careful attention." Dr. Liu could only be so comforting. When he saw Lin Lan coming out of the corner of his eyes, his tone suddenly changed, "But it may be that Qian Xuan is too meticulous, Keeping a cat too delicate will cause its immune system to be low. Maybe you can follow the example of Lin Lan's family to raise cats extensively, and her snowflakes are well raised, and it is rare to get sick all year round. "

After hearing this, Qian Xuan frowned subconsciously, "But Xuehua is a local cat, and her physique is different from my Niuniu."

Lin Lan suddenly became unhappy, her lips pursed, and she was about to speak up, but Dr. Liu, who quickly realized that something was wrong, had already spoken first: "Don't say that, whether it's a Chinese pastoral cat or a British shorthair, it's a slender little cat. Animals, good family companions of human beings. Snowflake's temper is really quite good among the cats I have seen, and its appearance is also very beautiful. If it is not too common in China, it is also a very good pet cat. Pet cat There is no way to measure the value of the company's companionship with money, if whoever is more expensive is the best, the seal puppet in the cage over there can probably despise all the cats here."

The euphemistic words, but the meaning is also very clear, and she also realized that Qian Xuan was blushing a little at the moment, but the girl was also refreshing, and immediately apologized to Lin Lan: "I'm sorry, Lin Lan, I said it quickly. Bad words. I, I don't mean to look down on Snowflake, that is, that is... "

"It's okay, I understand." Lin Lan reached out her hand to stop her explanation, "It's always true that foreign monks like to chant scriptures, and I like blue cats and beautiful short cats, but they really don't have to worry about my snowflakes. Compared with native cats, it is normal for them to be weaker than the first line, and there is nothing wrong with what you say."

Qian Xuan was even more embarrassed, and said sorry again, Lin Lan also politely smiled and said it was okay, then turned to look at Dr. Liu: "I just heard from my grandma, but Qian Xuan's Niuniu is sick again. I want to come over and ask about the situation, I'll leave now that I'm fine. Doctor Liu, you're busy."

After speaking, she turned around and left, leaving behind Qian Xuan with a shy face.

People specially came to care about the kitten's condition, but as a result, she, the cat owner, ran away in anger.

Dr. Liu also shook his head helplessly: "I wanted to introduce you to Lin Lan's house to get a scripture. Her homemade cat food is quite good. Maybe your Niu Niu might get less sick after changing cat food."

Only then did Qian Xuan understand what the doctor meant, but she was still thin-skinned and couldn't help herself, and she muttered: "Maybe Xuehua has a good physique."

Dr. Liu didn't say anything this time. He said hello to the girl and continued to work on his own business. Although his clinic is small, life is still decent. There are also many pets in the high-end community opposite the urban village. There are always willing Pay pets to run to him.

However, Lin Lan who said the clinic, turned around and pulled the old man with a smirk on his face.

Pooh! What happened to the cat! If you eat your rice and drink your soup, you really think it is noble if you sell it at a high price!

As far as her Niuniu's squeamishness is concerned, Qian Xuan will suffer in the future!

Recalling that in the clinic, Lin Lan heard Niuniu's weak purring in the cat bag, and even if she was sick, she was particularly arrogant, "Minion, you actually asked that human to give me injections again, it hurts me! Go home and I will You threw your favorite cup!" Lin Lan didn't show any sympathy at all, she spoiled like a master, let's continue to love each other and kill each other.

Or her snowflakes!

As it turns out, some kittens don't talk much. Just as Lin Lan was about to go to the canteen to chat with her mother, she complained to her mother about the incident just now, and she was not good-hearted. A snow-white afterimage appeared on the green belt by the roadside, and she scurried over.

"Meow!" (Lan Lan!)

When the cat meowing sounded at her, Lin Lan was startled, and when she took a closer look, it was her own white cat who was meowing hurriedly at her.

"Xuehua, what's wrong?" Just listening to the tone, she knew something bad must have happened, and Lin Lan quickly squatted down to talk to it.

"Meow, meow, meow—" (Lan Lan! Over there, there's a kitten over there! It's dying! Lan Lan, save it!)

Xuehua ran ahead to lead the way, and Lin Lan trotted after it, crossed the road, and arrived at the opposite community. When she thought Xuehua wanted her in, she saw the white cat turn another corner and run around the green area outside the community.

As a high-end community, in addition to the beautiful scenery inside the fence, there are also quite good green parks outside the fence. In addition to the running track and pavilions for runners, well-proportioned greenery is also indispensable.

It was in the bushes of one of the small morning exercise parks that Lin Lan finally found the "dying kitten" that Xuehua called.

"It's so small!" She was even smaller than when she first picked up the snowflakes. Maybe she hadn't been there for two months. She was dirty and covered with ugly cat moss. A faint cat meowing was heard.

"Mi... Mi..." (Mom... Mom... )

The immobile kitten instinctively calls out to the mother cat, but...

Lin Lan looked around and saw that there was no female cat at all, and it didn't look like it had just run out of the nest.

"Meow-meow-" (Lan Lan, it doesn't have a mother! I smell it, its mother is already dead!)

Five minutes later, he returned to the pet clinic.

"The situation is not very good. This kitten is about one and a half months old. It is malnourished and has a weak stomach. In addition to cat moss, there are also symptoms of cat nasal branches. Depending on its breathing conditions, there may be pneumonia problems." Dr. Liu said lightly Grabbing the kitten lightly, frowning, "The specific diagnosis requires further examination."

"Then... can it be cured?" Holding her own snowflake, Lin Lan was also worried.

"I can't guarantee this." Dr. Liu shook his head. "But one thing is certain. It will cost a lot of money to treat it. Four figures are certain."

This is something that veterinarians generally ask ahead of time.

A stray kitten picked up at random is ugly and dirty, and there is no guarantee that it will be cured, is it worth it

If it was before, Lin Lan might have hesitated, but now...

"Mi... Mi..." (Mom... Mom... )

Lin Lan couldn't help hugging the snowflake in her arms: "Government! Spend money to cure!"
