I Can Talk To Cats

Chapter 7: Her Application (Part One)

Translated by Lime.

In the bright morning, the "village in the city" had become bustling again.

The pace of daily life in Xicheng was not that fast. The breakfast stalls in the snack bar downstairs were set up for only three hours. When the dozens of steamed buns were all sold out, the Lin family were now ready to open up the buffet after eating their own breakfast.

Father Lin opened the shop's door. Mother Lin was not in a hurry, and had just started cleaning the spring onions and leeks she brought from Grandma Lin's place.

"Mom, these vegetables that you grew are so nice and clean." Mother Lin was removing the yellow leaves and the old layers while praising the old lady. "I also have several vegetables on my balcony. How come mine aren't as good as yours?"

Grandma Lin glanced at the two pots that had small vegetables planted on the balcony of her daughter-in-law's house, and saw two rows of golden colored sprouts in foam boxes filled with mud. When the old lady was younger, she was also a good farmer. She immediately furrowed her eyebrows and held her breath. "Using your way of cultivation, you can't eat these vegetables until the mud dries. Don't worry about them today, just pull them out tomorrow. I'll go home and find a bag of seeds to teach you."

Wang Xiuzhi felt that she shouldn't have decided to plant those two pots after seeing her mother-in-law's balcony full of plants.

While the two were still cleaning the vegetables, Lin Lan had just changed her clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

She had her hair brushed into a ponytail, and was wearing a formal business suit. She carried a leather bag, and with one look, you could tell that she had something to do. Mother Lin and Grandma Lin both curiously stared at her.

"Yesterday you submitted your resume online, and today they called you in for an interview?" Wang Xiuzhi asked her daughter in surprise.

This time of year was not the peak recruitment time, so it was rare for the girl that had stayed home for a few days to already receive a response.

"Maybe they are coincidentally looking for people." As soon as Lin Lan replied, something fluffy rubbed against her calf. When she looked down, it was Snowflake. "Snowflake." Lin Lan hugged the cat and smiled, "I'm going out. When I come back home, I'll bring you your favorite mutton kebab, okay?"

The white cat that was being raised in the air, was not afraid. His tail hung naturally and replied to Lin Lan: "Miaow."

"I'm not going hunting, but there should be a stampede." Lin Lan told the cat, "If it is successful, I will go there to look for food and be able to come home everyday."

"Miaow—"

"It's not that far, it should take around thirty minutes by riding the electric moped. The business district is quite close."

"Miaow, miaow."

"That's right, if I am going to hunt there, I'll also bring you your favorite canned salmon each week, okay?"

"Miaow!"

Not far away, the mother and grandmother held leeks in their hands, and strangely looked at the person and the cat. The second day that Lan Lan came home, she was like this. Before when she played with the big white cat at home, she was able to somewhat understand it, but now when Lan Lan said a sentence, the cat meowed at her. This was almost like a real conversation, and to them, it was both strange and funny.

"You're acting like you really know what the cat is saying." Wang Xiuzhi murmured, and raised her voice at her daughter saying, "Stop playing with the cat for now, you still have an interview to go to. Don't be late."
