Chapter 19:

"I recommend your home to a female colleague. The puppets and Jinjira are so fine and not well-bred in your home. The expensive Abyssinian cat is certainly no problem. Is it convenient for you to see?"
Convenience!
Very convenient!
The price of pure Abyssinian cats is not lost at all to puppet cats. It is derived from Ethiopia. Its shape is similar to Siamese and is slender, but it is more plump than Siamese. One of the old domestic cats.
As a noble among short-haired cats, it is dignified, noble and elegant, because it is a big cat with long legs, also known as a ballet cat.
"When do you pick it up? Where do you pick it up? I personally visit the house! ... Although I want to say that, pregnancy has nothing to do with raising a cat." Linlan Station, who also trains kittens in the new house to sell cute eighteen styles Talking to Xu Xiangfei in the empty living room, frowning straight, "The cat has no harm to the pregnant woman at all. What age do people still think so?"
"It's useless to tell me these things. In fact, my colleague didn't know how many times he told her mother-in-law, but some older elders ... you know." Xu Xiangfei pointed his head, "They only stubbornly believe what they are willing to believe. You tell them ten thousand times that you want to infect the cat's toxoplasma must eat the freshly pulled cat to win the trick, they will only shake their heads and say I don't listen to me Do n’t listen. My colleague has been haggard for this matter, but he ca n’t but the old man, so I can only send a good person.
Lin Lan finally made an appointment with Xu Xiangfei to pick up the cat at his colleague's house on a weekend.
People who can keep this kind of cat generally have no difference in family situation. Sure enough, Xu Xiangfei took her to a high-end community in the center of Xicheng City. After obtaining the owner's permission, the two successfully arrived at that family.
It was the owner of the cat who opened the door, a young woman whose stomach was already pregnant, with the surname Yao.
Probably because of the cat being sent away, Ms. Yao's face is very bad, but good education makes her try to keep smiling at the guests: "Come on, please come in."
Following the owner's entrance, Lin Lan saw at a glance a series of cat supplies such as cat bags, cat food, cat litters and cat toys placed in the open space of the living room. The brands and styles were quite high-end, and the owner was very attentive to the kittens. .
The cat has been put in the cat's bag, and it lies on its back. The big apricot eyes are embedded in the small head. Only the slender cat body and the red and brown fur can be seen vaguely.
"It's called pudding, and I'm two years old this year." Ms. Yao handed the cat to Lin Lan, and kept telling her mouth all the time. "Puddin's favorite is Baili brand cat food. Used as a snack, but the favorite snack is dried cod. It is quiet and a little squeamish. It likes to sleep on the sofa or in the arms of people. It likes to play with electric mice and jumping pigs. There is also this cat cushion. I like to lie on it ... I have all these things prepared. I only stocked cat food and snacks last month, enough pudding to eat for half a year ... and these cat litters and toys are their favorite ones. Please take it all back, so you do n’t have to go to your new house when ... you just ... "
The more I talked, the more red Ms. Yao's eyes were, and she couldn't even speak in a coherent manner.
The reddish-brown kitten who had been lying quietly in the cat bag suddenly couldn't sit up. He pulled the small window of the cat bag and called in the direction of the owner.
"Meow--" (Mom, don't be sad.)
The call of the Abyssinian cat is recognized as nice, and her delicate voice is like a silver bell.
At this time, Ms. Yao let tears fall at once.
"Pudding!" Even after two years of getting along, even if she couldn't understand the cat language, Ms. Yao, as a feeder, still tacitly distinguished the meaning of the pet's cry, "Woo ... Pudding! Pudding!"
She held the cat's bag tightly and pressed it against the pudding's head across the wall of the box, tears rolling.
It was such a sight that Lin Lan and Xu Xiangfei could not bear it.
"Ms. Yao, if you are very reluctant, you can take it back after you have given birth." Lin Lan couldn't help but say to her.
Ms. Yao, who was unwilling to let go of her cat bag, looked up in surprise, with a surprise in her tears.
"You can think of it this way, as if it was inconvenient to temporarily foster the pudding with me." Seeing her expression, Lin Lan also smiled and explained warmly, "Xu Xiangfei should have told you before, I will I will open a cat cafe and help my guests in fostering pets. It is also one of the cat cafe business projects. After you have given birth to your baby, take care of your body, and then choose a convenient day to come to me and pay the fee for fostering. You can take the pudding home. How about this proposal? "
Ms. Yao's haggard face suddenly became radiant, and she almost blurted out: "I am willing to ..."
"No! The cat will not be allowed to get it back after being sent away!" The voice of an old lady interrupted her loudly. When an old woman in her 60s appeared in the living room, she stared angrily. Ms. Yao said, "Cats can't stay, I have told you many times about this! These cats, cats and dogs love hair loss, in case they are accidentally sucked into the nostrils by children! You are a responsible mother good or not!"
"No ... Auntie, cats and dogs' hairs are thick and long, and the baby's nose cannot be sucked in ..." Xu Xiangfei weakly defended, and then the old lady choked back immediately.
"I said I would it in. I would it in anyway! Anything that is harmful to my grandson will not be allowed to come close! Cats can't do dogs, can't do anything!"
Xu Xiangfei stepped back a few steps suddenly, defeated by the invincible momentum that the old lady had trained in the village when she was young.
"Mom!" Ms. Yao collapsed while listening, "How can you do this!"
"What's wrong with me! I'm not good for you and your baby! In case you have something to do with this cat, can you recover it!" The old lady's eyes glared fiercely, "I'm not allowed to raise anyway! Do you dare to take it back in the future, I will take the car the next day and throw it away, believe it or not! "
The momentum in the living room stiffened to the extreme for a time, and the young pregnant woman was crumbling, and the hands holding the cat bag were pinched and whitened.
The stubborn old man was keenly aware of the change in the mood of her daughter-in-law. She did not continue to talk to her daughter-in-law immediately, but changed her soft face again, and sighed with someone who came over, "Sister-in-law, I know you do not want to put a cat Send away, I do n’t like me, but I ’m doing it for you too. "
She stared at the cat bag and looked away at the cat inside. Lin Lan didn't miss the old lady's displeasure and impatience with the cat, but changed her attitude when she looked back at her wife.
"You think about it, when you give birth to a child in the future, do you really have the energy to take care of this cat like before? When you are childless, you can get up early every day to get cat food and make snacks for the night. I tidy up the cat's hair every day, buy toys for him to play with, and send him to the vet when I'm sick. Do you still have care after you have children? This is equivalent to taking care of two children, and hasn't been there for a whole day. idle."
Ms. Yao opened her mouth and found that she couldn't be sure because ...
"Daughter-in-law, you told me before you got married. Even if you have a baby after marriage, you won't lose your job and raise your children at home. I promised. But you can't ignore it when you come back from work with children. And I ’m sure I wo n’t help you with your cat. Are you sure you have the energy to care for the cats and keep the cats at work to take care of the children? Is n’t this cat so expensive? ? "
Ms. Yao was completely silent. She lowered her head but slowly straightened her arms little by little, gradually delivering the cat bag to Lin Lan.
Although the movement is difficult, it also shows her inner choice.
Lin Lan took the cat bag quietly and steadily carried it in her hand. Ms. Yao on the opposite side looked at the cat bag for a while, and then suddenly covered her face with both hands, whispered and ran to the back room.
It's guilt, and it's escape.
Lin Lan said nothing, and with Xu Xiangfei, he took away all the things given by the cat owner, threw it into the trunk of the car, and returned directly to the small building.
The next day, a new house in a small building.
"Actually, I don't know what to say. The old lady's back is actually quite reasonable. Ms. Yao, who is unwilling to give up her career, can't make a mistake in her final choice. You can only say that since ancient fish and bear's paw can't have both." Sitting on the mat in the new house, Lin Lan said this to Cheng Fengyang, who had completed the design, and his tone was a bit low, "I just suffered from the abandoned kitten."
Speaking of which, she put her eyes in the cat's bag in the corner. This Abyssinian cat has been brought back for a day, no matter how she called to tease it, she didn't open a call once, fortunately. It was smooth to eat and drink, indicating that it was only in a very low mood, but did not reach the point where it reached a dead end.
"But Ms. Yao has done what she can do? Entrusting the cat to the home of someone who can take care of it is much better than abandoning it casually." Cheng Fengyang put forward his own different opinions, "In fact, raising pets is really better than It ’s not easy to raise a child, like the stars in my family, it takes a lot of thought to keep it clean, tidy, smart and healthy, and loved and lively at any time, not to mention raising a child. Having all kinds of inconveniences is true At the time when my sister gave birth to Li Mengmeng, I felt that her whole person was nervous and still emotionally broken. At this time, if another cat or dog let her wait, I think her temper was crazy. "
"Huh! After all, the man's family is not good enough!" Lin Lan seemed to think of something that was not angry, "Ms. Yao will give the cat not because her mother-in-law's family is too indifferent, no one wants to help her take care of the kitten, Even the idea of ​​throwing the cat away, she can only give the cat away for the safety of the cat. I passed that day, only the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law confronted the whole thing, and the man at home was as nonexistent as the dead! In the future, when I get married, my dad would dare to treat me like this. I forced me to throw a cat as soon as I was pregnant. I will definitely let them know what regret is. "
At the end, she sneered. If Uncle Yu or the younger brother of the original overseas student were present, she would immediately find that her smile was exactly the same as when she talked about how to split her predecessor in Rolls Royce.
Oops, accidentally exposed the bad side when angry!
Realizing that this very bad Lin Lan quickly converged his expression, coughed a little embarrassingly, and wanted to buffer it with a smile: "That, I just started playing ..."
"That's right, that's it!" Cheng Fengyang clapped his thighs in favor, with a face of the enemy. "Originally, cats and dogs have nothing to do with a woman's pregnancy. Why should they give away their raised children because of their ignorance?" I am also the first one to disagree! The Yao family ’s man is not responsible, and I am angry when I hear it! His wife ’s salary is not low, but he married him to give birth to his children, and the husband and wife together to support the family did not say Just let him be responsible for the expenses alone, and if he is the husband, he will not have the ability to solve the pet problem for his wife. It's useless to get home! What a thing! "
Cheng Fengyang really thought this way when he said this, and he took it in. If he married a wife, then the wife and her family forced him to throw the stars because of pregnancy, and gave him all kinds of crooks to push him in. In the corner, he must be angry.
No, in the future, we must find a family who likes to keep pets!
As soon as the thought flashed, he suddenly froze, his eyes involuntarily looked at the opposite Lin Lan and the large group of cats behind her, and the other party was also staring at him stunned for a moment, the surprise in his eyes made him feel helpless. I jumped with it.
"Cough, what ... let's continue to look at the design drawings. This is just a preliminary draft. You can see if you don't like what needs to be changed. Tell me."
"Oh ... Uh, okay. Let me see!"
Suddenly, he fell into a pair of men and women who didn't know how to speak, and began to talk vaguely under the pretext of exchanging things.
After receiving the design draft given by Cheng Fengyang, Lin Lan was very surprised. After listening to her request, this person not only integrated all her requirements into the draft, but also gave some unique designs that were quite in line with her preferences. Because she is professional, the results she designed are better than she imagined out of thin air.
"Great! It's better than I thought!" Lin Lan didn't hide her thoughts at all, pointing to some elaborate designs in the manuscript, very happy. "You see here, here and here, I just wanted to I want to paste this kind of wallpaper and draw such a pattern. The warm side tables and round stools in this corner can't be better! At that time, when I saw this corner, my mind was blurry. The original picture is like this! I have n’t told you these things, but you can think of this degree. Cheng Fengyang, you are so powerful! "
Lin Lan was pleasantly surprised, but Cheng Fengyang was even more pleasantly surprised than her. There were some details that the owner did not expect or did not request. The designer had to think about how to decorate himself, which involved personal aesthetic and preferences. When things are made, it is not always possible to receive satisfactory feedback, or even the opposite is criticized as worthless. Many design-related practitioners are actually used to this situation.
But like Lin Lan, people who are close to their own tastes and aesthetics are perfectly close to their inner thoughts, not to mention customers, not even friends.
Cheng Fengyang's heart felt heartfelt joy.
"She likes your design, which shows that you two have some similarities in aesthetic preferences."
My sister Cheng Xingyu's words came to my mind unconsciously.
Looking at Lin Lan who was still talking to the design draft, Cheng Fengyang didn't admit that he was still very vague, and suddenly became clear.
