On New Year's Eve, Lao Lin's family closed down.

Whether it's a tobacco and wine shop or a cat teahouse, they all pull down the curtain and officially close down to prepare for their own new year's festival.

Because he had to close the teahouse for several days, Lin Lan moved all the portable cat climbing frames and cat bowls and cat cushions that could be moved in the teahouse to his new house area on the third floor. After all, the kittens also need more spacious space for activities when they have a holiday. The living room of the old house is not enough for more than ten cats.

This job is not done by her alone. As the only employee in the store who didn't go home for the Spring Festival, Xiao Song naturally helped to help.

"Xiao Song, if you don't go back, you might as well come to my home for the new year." After moving everything in the new house, Lin Lan said to her staff, "it's too cold to celebrate the new year alone. Come to my house and have a new year's Eve dinner. It's also a bit of staff welfare in the teahouse."

The landlord and boss took care of himself so much that song Xinmin was a little embarrassed: "it won't give the store manager any trouble at home, will it?"

"No trouble, no trouble." Lin Lan waved, "I've already discussed with my parents. Tomorrow's dinner at home is not only for you, but also for Miss Wang. After all, you know, she's on her own

"Store manager..." Song Xinmin is quite moved, "you are really a good man!" Whether it is as a boss or landlord are too human!

Lin Lan quickly waved his hand and refused: "don't praise me so much. I never feel like I'm a good man." She never set such a high moral standard for herself. "I'm just an ordinary person. Don't think of me as so noble. I call you to celebrate the Chinese new year because you are my employee, and Miss Wang is the first VIP customer in the store. You both rent my house, and you don't go home for the Chinese New Year. It's so simple. "

Just as she got golden finger from Greece by accident, she never wanted to save the cats all over the world. She just did what she could to the kittens she could see and reach. It was far from being praised as a good person.

"It's already good." Song Xinmin, who has wandered in many places, met many people and experienced many things, laughs, "it's very good for a private boss like you, the store manager, who doesn't default on wages and has employee benefits from time to time."

The subtext in the words can be understood as long as those who mingle with the society. After listening to it, Lin Lan can only sigh and pat the staff on the shoulder: "remember to come over tomorrow night."

"Thank you, manager." Comrade Song agreed with a smile. As soon as he was about to say hello and leave, he saw Lin Lan stuffing bags of cat food and cans into a large backpack. He couldn't help pausing, "store manager, not all the cats in our store eat cat food. How can we buy cat food?"

"Oh, it's not for the cat in the shop. It's for the stray cat outside." Lin Lan, while packing bags, explained that the number of wild cats in the cat boss is huge. It's not tiring to rely on her to cook cat food alone.

Song Xinmin understood: "is this going to feed those stray cats?" The store manager will go out for half a day every few days, just to give food to stray cats. At the same time, he also knows that this is the main source of breed cats in teahouses.

It seems that there is a subtle consensus between the store manager and the stray cats. She gives them food, and they will let her bring back those beautiful pet cats from time to time.

"Yes, tomorrow is new year's Eve, and we'll send some to them."

Hearing her affirmative answer and the big bag of cat food, song Xinmin rushed forward: "if you want me to go with the store manager, it's easier for two people to carry it separately."

Anyway, he had nothing to do with his holiday. This time he went out with manager Lin to meet the stray cats, which was a good time for him.

Lin Lan didn't give up the staff's warm-hearted help, and the backpack was very heavy, so he finally took him with him. They carried half of the cat food to the group location of the cat boss.

In recent days, it has been snowing in the west city. There are no cats on the roofs of abandoned dwellings, but they can be found in another empty house.

Song Xinmin follows Lin Lan all the way forward. He stops at a deserted community where there are few people. Then he sees that one of the dilapidated houses has been artificially pasted with leaking doors and windows. The shopkeeper walked towards the room and pushed the door open. The empty house was lined up with trapezoid foam boxes. Every box was pulled out of a circular hole for free access to the cat, which was covered with waste fabrics. From time to time, a cat with different colors could be seen from some boxes.

Compared with the cold outside, this empty room is actually a little cold, which is quite warm for cats.

Moreover, these cats are very familiar with the store manager. Almost at the moment when she just pushed the door in, many cats had already stood at the door and surrounded her feet.

"Meow..." "Meow --" ah Wu ah... "

The meow of all kinds of sound lines rises one after another, gentle or rough. Song Xinmin, who also has some cat experience in teahouses, can immediately guess that he is begging for food from the store manager when he sees the upright tails of the cats.

Of course, only Lin Lan can understand the more complicated meow translation.

LAN LAN, are you coming to see us again

LAN LAN, did you bring us food again(LAN LAN, you keep our cat's nest warm. It's not cold to get in!)

Stray cats around her legs, some meow, some also rub her legs with their heads, full of coquetry.

"Don't crowd, everyone. There's something to eat!" Lin Lan carefully moved step, afraid to step on which one, "by the way, cat boss?"

As soon as the cats heard her mention the boss, they automatically and slowly gave way.

"Wow..." The sound of a hoarse cat sounded, and Lin Lan saw the cat sitting at the top of the top of the folded foam box. (even if you bring the food again, there is no cat you want this time.)

Lin Lan said with a smile: "I'm here to deliver food this time. It's going to be new year's day. I also want you to have a fat new year."

Song Xinmin followed him with cat food. After discovering the existence of the cat boss, he was directly amazed by the civet cat.

It's not because of the appearance, but because of the cat's aloof temperament.

Having wandered in so many cities, he had never seen or thought that a cat could have such leadership temperament, which almost distinguishes it from other civet cats of the same color.

Song Xinmin subconsciously wants to touch his body. After touching it, he remembers that he didn't have his camera with him. It's a great pity. If we can take this cat now, it will be a very good picture.

But soon he had no time to regret it. The store manager had already asked him to help open the can for the kittens.

When rows of cans are placed in the empty space, the picture of stray cats eating in order appears in front of us. The impact caused by the number is quite shocking. However, in addition to these cats will make a variety of whimpers when they eat, it is no different from those cats kept in the store when they eat.

Perhaps it should be said that it is worthy of being fed by the store manager who is good at cat training? I have a sense of discipline when I eat.

The cats are eating, but the cat boss who is only a leader doesn't eat. He is still talking to the store manager one by one In other words, the cat language of the store manager is working miraculously again.

"Wow." (there are some more cats who want to join in these days, but I've driven them away.)

"What is the purpose of driving away?" Lin Lan was surprised.

"Wow." (food is limited. I can't protect all cats. It's normal for weak cats to be eliminated in winter.)

Lin Lan is silent. Compared with human beings, animals living in the wild have more straightforward and cruel elimination methods, compete for more food, more territory, and A chance to live.

"you are the oldest cat. Your family has the final say." After a while, she replied to the cat.

Civet cat golden vertical pupil looked at her, issued a long cry: "Wow - wow." (I've seen a lot of bipedals. Some bipedals, like you, often take the initiative to feed us, but they often disappear and never come back. I believe in myself more than I do in you

Lin Lan was speechless.

How I don't know how to describe it.

As an animal cat, it doesn't know how to beat around the Bush, let alone learn human deception. It just uses its own experience to express its own judgment and practice.

"Sorry." Lin Lan can only say, "except that I can guarantee the cats I brought back, I will keep them, but I can't guarantee you the same."

She can't be sure that she can feed these stray cats all her life. There are too many unpredictable variables.

The cat boss's eyes softened at this time. He also lowered his voice line and called to her: "wow." It doesn't matter. You are the only two legged animals in the world willing to support other groups.)

The food delivery operation soon ended. After helping the stray cats fix their nests and doors and windows again, Lin Lan left the abandoned house with a heavy heart.

In my mind, all kinds of thoughts are whirling around, and there are also some unrealistic impulses, but in the end, they are all pressed down by reason one by one.

Sure enough She's just a selfish layman who can't be a savior.

"Manager, are you familiar with the heads of these wild cats?" On the way, song Xinmin's voice suddenly revived her. Looking up, she saw the excitement on the face of the wandering photographer, "I want to take a picture of it. Do you think it's ok?"

I want her to help.

"Don't ask me that. Ask the cat if she wants to." Lin Lan thinks the probability is half and half. "It's too early to mention these now. Let's wait until the end of the new year."

Back to the small building, Comrade Song went back to his room to have a rest, while Lin Lan went up to the third floor and went back to the new house with the teahouse cat.

Similarly, as soon as the door opened, there was a series of mews. The cats with sensitive ears had already recognized her from the footsteps outside the door.

LAN LAN, did you bring the food back

(there's a lot of smell from other cats!)

(wipe it off, wipe it off! Mom is mineJust closed the door and stood still. There were a group of cats around her legs. One of them only used her head to smell her again. Lin Lan's depressed mood suddenly brightened up again.

"Don't rub, it's all in vain." He reached out and picked up the puppet cat that rubbed the most severely, and gently touched its little pink nose. "Don't forget, today we agreed that everyone would take a bath."

It doesn't smell like anything when you wash it.

In an instant, a group of cats who just rubbed vigorously retreated and ran away several times.
