"I would like to recommend your home to my female colleagues. The puppets and ginger are so delicate and hard to keep. They are all well kept in your home. The expensive Abyssinian cat is certainly no problem. Is it convenient for you?"

Convenient!

Very convenient!

The price of pure breed Abyssinian cat is not inferior to that of puppet cat at all. It originated from Ethiopia and has a slender shape similar to Siam, but it is fuller than Siam. It is one of the oldest domestic cats.

As the noble of short hair cat, it is dignified, dignified and elegant, because it is the big long leg of the cat, also known as ballet cat.

"When will you pick it up? Where can I get it? I can visit in person Although I would like to say that, pregnancy has nothing to do with raising a cat. " Lin Lan, who is still training kittens in the new house, is standing in the open living room and talking to Xu Xiangfei. She frowns and says, "cats are not bad for pregnant women at all. What age do people still think that?"

"It's no use telling me that. In fact, my colleague didn't know how many times he told her mother-in-law, but some older elders You understand Xu Xiangfei pointed to his head, "they only stubbornly believe what they are willing to believe. You tell them that if you want to infect cats with Toxoplasma gondii ten thousand times, you have to eat the fresh lump pulled down by the cat to get hit. They will only shake their heads and say, "I won't listen, I won't listen.". My colleagues have been haggard for a long time, but I can't help the old man, so I can only trust him to send a good family. "

Lin Lan finally made an appointment with Xu Xiangfei to pick up the cat at his colleague's home one weekend.

People who can keep this kind of cat usually have a poor family. Sure enough, Xu Xiangfei took her to a high-end community in the center of Xicheng city. With the permission of the owner, they arrived at the family smoothly.

The one who opened the door was the cat's owner, a young woman whose family name was Yao.

Probably because the cat was about to be sent away, Ms. Yao's face was very bad, but her good upbringing made her try to keep smiling to the guests: "come on, please come in."

Following the owner into the door, Lin Lan saw a series of cat products, such as cat bags, cat food, cat nests and cat toys, placed in the open space of the living room. The brands and styles are quite high-end. It can be seen that the owner is very attentive to kittens.

The cat has been put into the cat bag. It lies in it. Its big apricot eyes are inlaid on its small head. It can only vaguely see its slim body and red and brown fur.

"It's called pudding. It's two years old." Ms. Yao handed the cat to Lin Lan and kept telling her, "the pudding's favorite food is the cat food of Bailey brand. Sometimes I will eat some of aikena's as a snack, but my favorite snack is dried cod. It's very quiet and a little delicate. It likes sleeping on the sofa or in people's arms. It likes playing with electric mice and jumping pigs. It also likes this cat mat Huan lies on it I've got all these things ready. I only stocked up cat food and snacks last month. It's enough for pudding for half a year And these cat nests and toys are his favorite. Please take them back, so that he won't go to his new home Just... "

The more she said, the redder her eyes became, and finally she choked so much that she couldn't even speak well.

The reddish brown kitten, who had been lying quietly in the cat bag, suddenly couldn't sit still. She grabbed the small window of the cat bag and called in the direction of the owner.

"Meow --" (mom, don't be sad.)

The sound of the Abyssinian cat is generally recognized as pleasant, and its delicate voice is like a silver bell.

At this time, she burst into tears.

"Pudding!" After two years of living together day and night, even if she didn't understand the cat language, Ms. Yao, as the owner of the pet, still tacitly recognized the meaning of pet's cry, "woo..."! Pudding! Pudding

She hugged the cat bag tightly, stuck to the pudding head through the wall of the box, tears rolling.

Such a scene, Lin Lan and Xu Xiangfei can not bear to see.

"Ms. Yao, if you are very reluctant, you can take it back after you have a baby." Lin Lan couldn't help saying to her.

Holding the cat bag and unwilling to let go, Ms. Yao raised her head in surprise with surprise in her tears.

"You can think that it's inconvenient to put the pudding in my house for the time being." Seeing her expression, Lin Lan also smiles. Wen Sheng explains, "Xu Xiangfei should have told you that I will open a cat cafe in the future. It's also one of the business projects of cat cafe to help customers in need to foster pets. After you have given birth to the baby, take care of your body, and then come to me on a convenient day. You can take the pudding home after paying for the foster care. How about this proposal? "

Ms. Yao's haggard face was suddenly radiant. She almost blurted out: "I'd like to..."

"No! You can't get the cat back when it's gone! " An old lady's voice interrupted her loud. I don't know when an old lady in her sixties appeared in the living room. At this time, she glared angrily at Ms. Yao. "Cats can't stay. I've told you that many times! These cats and dogs love to lose their hair, in case they are accidentally sucked into their nostrils by children! How about being a responsible mother

"No Auntie, the hair of cats and dogs is very thick and long. The baby's nose can't suck it in... " Xu Xiangfei weak excuse, and then immediately choked back by the old lady."I said I would inhale, that is, I would inhale! Anyway, the things that are harmful to my grandson are not allowed to come near! No cat, no dog, nothing

Xu Xiangfei immediately stepped back several steps, defeated by the invincible momentum that the old lady had practiced in the village when she was young.

"Ma!" Ms. Yao listened to some collapse, "how can you do this!"

"What's wrong with me! I'm not for you and baby! If something happens to the cat, can you recover it? " The old lady's eyes glared and said, "anyway, if I can't say it, I can't! If you dare to take it back in the future, I'll throw it away the next day. Believe it or not

The momentum in the living room was extremely stiff for a moment. The young pregnant woman was tottering, and the knuckles of her hands holding the cat bag were getting whiter and whiter.

The stubborn old man keenly felt the emotional change of her daughter-in-law. She immediately did not continue to fight with her daughter-in-law. Instead, she changed a soft face and sighed with a passing voice: "daughter-in-law, I know you don't want to send the cat away. You don't like me like this, but I do it for you."

She stares at the cat bag and sweeps the cat inside. Lin Lan doesn't miss the old lady's dislike and impatience to the cat, but she changes her attitude when she looks at her daughter-in-law again.

"Think about it. After you give birth to the baby, do you really have the energy to take care of the cat like before? When you have no children, you can get up early every day and get cat food for it. After the holidays, you can clean up the cat hair for it every day, buy toys for it to play with, and send it to the vet when you are sick. Can you take care of your children? It's like you're taking care of two kids and you're not free all day. "

Ms. Yao opened her mouth and found that she could not be sure because

"Daughter in law, you told me before you got married that even if you have children after marriage, you won't lose your job and raise children at home. I agreed. But with children, you can't care nothing when you come back from work, and I'm sure I won't help you with your cat. Are you sure you have the energy to look after both sides, to keep cats and children at work? The cat is so expensive that no one takes good care of it. I'm sure it's ill? "

Ms. Yao is completely silent. She lowers her head, but slowly straightens her arms little by little, and gradually delivers the cat bag to Lin Lan.

Although the action is difficult, it also shows her inner choice.

Lin Lan quietly took the cat bag and steadily carried it in her hand. Ms. Yao looked at the cat bag for a while. At last, she suddenly covered her face with her hands and ran to the back room with a low voice.

It's guilt, it's escape.

Lin Lan didn't say anything. Together with Xu Xiangfei, he carried all the things given by the cat owner, threw them into the trunk of the car and went straight back to the small building.

The next day, a new house was built.

"In fact, I don't know what to say. The old lady's words are quite reasonable. Ms. Yao, who is unwilling to give up her career, can't make a wrong choice. She can only say that since ancient times, you can't have both fish and bear's paw." Sitting on the mat in the new room, Lin Lan told Cheng Fengyang, who had finished the design, that his tone was a little low. "It's just bitter for this abandoned kitten."

At this point, she put her eyes in the cat 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 say a cry at a time. Fortunately, feeding it was smooth, which showed that it was just in a very low mood, but it didn't get into a dead end.

"But has Ms. Yao done what she can? It's better to entrust a cat to someone who can take good care of it than to abandon it at will. " Cheng Fengyang put forward his own different opinions, "it's not much easier to keep pets than to keep children. For example, the stars in my family spend a lot of effort to keep them clean, smart and healthy at any time, and their relatives are lively, not to mention to really raise children. It's true that when my sister gave birth to Li Mengmeng, I felt that she was nervous and broke down. At this time, if there was another cat or dog waiting for her, I think she would be crazy with her temper. "

"Well! In the final analysis, the man's family suck up. " Lin Lan seems to think of something, a face not angry, "Ms. Yao will send the cat is not because her mother-in-law's family is too cold, no one is willing to help her take care of the kitten does not count, and even the idea of throwing the cat away, she for the safety of the cat can only send the cat. That day I went, the whole thing down, only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in confrontation, the man in the family as dead does not exist! After I get married, my mother-in-law dares to do this to me. As soon as I get pregnant, I force me to throw cats. I will definitely let them know what regret is. "

At the end, she had a sneer on her face. As like as two peas or a little brother, the first time, she would be able to find out that she was exactly the same as when she was talking about Rolls-Royce's predecessor.

Bad, life gas accidentally exposed the bad side!

Realizing this, Lin Lan quickly converged, coughed awkwardly, and wanted to smile: "well, I was just playing..."

"That's right. That's how it should be!" Cheng Fengyang slapped his thigh and said, "it has nothing to do with whether a woman is pregnant or not to keep a cat or a dog. Why should they send away the baby because of their ignorance? I would be the first one to disagree! That Yao family man is not responsible, I listen to all angry! His wife's salary is not low, but she married him to give birth to children for him. The husband and wife supported the family together, and they didn't say that he was only responsible for the expenses. As a result, his husband didn't even have the ability to solve the pet problem for his wife, so it's useless! What the hellCheng Fengyang really thinks that way when he says this. If he marries a wife, then his wife and her family force him to throw the stars because they are pregnant, and give him all kinds of unreasonable reasons to push him into the corner, he will definitely get angry.

No, after marriage, we must find a family who also likes keeping pets!

This idea just flashed, he suddenly froze, eyes involuntarily looking at the opposite Lin Lan and a large group of cats behind her, the other side is also staring at him, the surprise emotion in his eyes makes his heart also jump.

"Well, what Let's continue to look at the design. It's just a preliminary draft. Let's see what you don't like to change and tell me. "

"Oh Mm-hmm. OK. Let me see! "

Suddenly fell into a pair of men and women do not know how to speak, began to take business as an excuse to communicate with vague dialogue.

When she got the design draft from Cheng Fengyang, Lin Lan was very surprised. After listening to her demands, 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 they were professional, the results designed by others were better than her own imagination.

"Great! Better than I thought Lin Lan didn't hide his idea at all. He pointed to some exquisite designs in the manuscript and was very happy. "Look here, here and here. I just wanted to paste such wallpaper and draw such patterns. The warm color side table and round stool in this corner can't be better! At that time, when I saw this corner, a similar picture flashed in my mind. It turned out to be like this! I didn't tell you about all 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. Some details were unexpected or not required by the owners themselves. The designers had to think about how to decorate, which involved personal aesthetic and preferences. When things are made, they may not receive satisfactory feedback. On the contrary, they are criticized as worthless. Many design practitioners are used to this situation.

But like Lin Lan, no matter what he likes or what he looks like, he has few friends, let alone clients.

Cheng Fengyang felt heartfelt joy at the bottom of his heart.

"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 is still gushing over the design draft, Cheng Fengyang didn't admit that he was still very vague and suddenly became clear.
