start with a pet store

Chapter 1059 You are really afraid of snakes

"Yeah, come on, I'll take you to our backyard..." Lu Jingxing's sigh disappeared immediately.

Bai Luo and Teacher Jian looked at each other and nodded with a smile. This was the purpose of their visit. However, Bai Luo had almost made up her mind now. Since it was Lu Jingxing's store, she felt more at ease.

The three of them walked to the backyard together.

Ba Mao, who hadn't been to Lu Jingxing for several days, was walking towards his office with his tail wagging. When he saw him suddenly, he was stunned.

Then it walked straight towards him with its tail pointed upwards, and when it was almost close to him, it lay down on the ground and stayed with him.

Lu Jingxing smiled helplessly, bent down, picked it up, and stroked its fur: "Do you miss your brother?"

"Meow...I want to..." Bamao kept nudging his hand with his head.

"Is this your own cat? How come you're so good at acting like a spoiled child? I remember the orange cats we saw when we were young were all very arrogant. Even the orange cat in my house is so aloof. Unless it's very hungry, it won't even pay attention to me. How come this little guy is so affectionate to you and even tries to offend you?" Bai Luo asked in surprise.

When he heard her say "touching a car", Teacher Jian laughed first: "That's a very apt description. It really is like touching a car, haha..."

Lu Jingxing also laughed, looking down at Xiao Ba with some doting: "It was originally a stray cat. Later, my colleagues and I caught it and sterilized it, and then we kept it. It is considered a veteran in our store..."

"Is that why it can move freely? Won't it run away?" Bai Luo couldn't help but want to touch it.

"It used to run around, but now it hardly ever runs out. Our place is so spacious, and it plays in the backyard every day, which is good enough. Besides, after being neutered, it is less playful than before. And there are so many cats here, so naturally it won't like to run outside so much." Lu Jingxing explained with a smile.

"I think it mainly understands the principle of having a full meal every day. There is food and entertainment here every day, so there is really no need for it to run outside," commented Teacher Jian.

"Haha, that's true. Hey, it doesn't shed hair. Look, after all this combing, it doesn't shed a single hair. Any one of the cats in our house will leave a trail of cloud when it passes by. Its hair is so shiny. What did you feed it?" Bai Luo kept asking.

Lu Jingxing answered all her questions seriously along the way.

The three of them walked to the backyard.

As soon as Lu Jingxing appeared, the lion cat, probably because it saw that Ba Mao was lying too comfortably, jumped down from the shelf on the corridor, and without caring about Bai Luo and the other person beside Lu Jingxing, it hugged Lu Jingxing's legs and started digging.

Soon after, Jiaziyin also ran over.

The three little guys seemed to be competing for height. The two on the ground were holding Lu Jingxing's legs, as if they were about to climb up.

When Ba Mao saw that the two of them wanted to take his place, he became angry: "Fufufu..." He frowned and growled at the two guys below: "I'll go first, get out of my way."

Bai Luo burst into laughter upon seeing this: "Are they jealous? Haha, this is so funny..."

As she said that, she squatted down and wanted to touch Jiaziyin who was closer to her.

Teacher Jian quickly pulled her back and said, "Don't do it rashly. Ask them first if they are fierce or not. Be careful or they might catch you."

Lu Jingxing also smiled and squatted down: "Fortunately, they are not fierce and will not catch you. However, you do have to be careful. Come, hug them if you want."

He picked up the clamp sound himself and handed it to Bai Luo.

Jiaziyin, who originally wanted to fight with Bamao, immediately lost his momentum because of Lu Jingxing's attack. He even meowed softly, which was very coquettish.

"Oh, it can even clamp. The sound makes my heart melt. Haha..." Bai Luo took the little guy with both hands and loved it so much.

"Haha, do you know what it's called?" Lu Jingxing also laughed: "Its name is Jia Ziyin, because it pinches my girlfriend, so I gave it that name."

"Ah, hahahahaha..." Hearing such a direct name, Bai Luo let out another silver bell-like laugh.

Her enthusiasm also made Teacher Jian excited. Seeing that she and Lu Jingxing both had a cat in their hands, he seemed unwilling to be outdone: "Then let me hold this lion, little lion, do you want me to hold it..."

Lu Jingxing chuckled again: "Its name is Lion Cat. You two are really a perfect match. Even guessing its name is correct."

The three of them burst out laughing at the same time. It was really a coincidence.

"No, I mean, are all the names in your family so simple and direct?" Bai Luo laughed for a long time and asked again.

"Because they were all stray cats when they originally came here, and we don't know if they will be adopted. If we give them unique names, and the new owners don't like them, it will take them a long time to adapt to new names. So, generally we give them direct and ordinary names that are easy to remember and remind people of their origins, so it's like killing two birds with one stone." Lu Jingxing thought of the first time he heard Ji Ling give the reasons for those names, and his expression was similar to Bai Luo and the others.

But it turns out she was right.

"Then why are they all here? I think each one of them is very beautiful. It's impossible that no one wants them. I like them all." Bai Luo twisted Jia Ziyin's face and looked at her left and right. He liked her more and more.

Although she has many cats at home, it does not affect her love for Jiaziyin. Oh, she also likes Bamao and Lion Cat very much.

"You're talking about them. Why isn't anyone interested in them? It's because we took them in when we first opened the store. Everyone likes them so much, and now they've become the store's living trademark. Anyone who has come here a few times knows how many of them there are. There are more than just the three of them. I have a few more here. His wife, Zhima, has an owner, but she spends most of her time with us. But she's not like the others who like to wander outside. She spends most of her time in the cattery. We also have a little Zuanfeng who's really good at picking locks..." Lu Jingxing told Bai Luo and Teacher Jian about all of his old treasures, as if they were his own.

When it comes to their stories, he feels he could tell them for three days and three nights.

As he was talking, he seemed to suddenly realize that he had already become one with this store, and these little guys, like him, had already become members of this big family.

Bai Luo rarely had such free time. After following Lu Jingxing to look at the backyard, he went to the cattery and saw the little guys walking around leisurely in the cattery.

Moreover, it turns out that it's not just Xiao Ba who doesn't shed, but almost all the little guys in the yard don't shed at all.

She was even more surprised: "I have discussed this issue with my mother before. The cat food we buy is dozens of yuan per pound, but it doesn't have the same effect as yours. Did you feed them something else that can stop them from shedding?" Lu Jingxing smiled and shook his head: "Really not. To be honest, it may have something to do with the cat food. All the cats in our store now eat cat food we produce ourselves. The price is not expensive, not as exaggerated as you said. I admit that there are expensive ones, but expensive ones are definitely not good. It depends on whether it is suitable for you."

"You produce your own cat food? You also produce cat food? Isn't it just a pet shop?" Teacher Jian also found it a little unbelievable.

"Haha, the factory was opened recently, and the grain has not yet been fully pushed into the market. It is mainly for supplying our own store. Because of this, we are more careful in choosing the ingredients..." Lu Jingxing advertised his own factory.

After he finished speaking, he laughed himself.

"Then I will use the ones from yours in the future. I will bring some back today. Okay, you don't have to accompany me. I'm sure I will send all the little ones to you. It doesn't matter whether they are fostered or adopted. I feel at ease leaving them to you..." Bai Luo waved his little hand with a righteous look, which made Teacher Jian laugh and cry.

After they had decided on the matter, Bai Luo went with Teacher Jian because he had to go back to school.

When the time is agreed upon, send all the little ones over.

Originally, Bai Luodai wanted to go to the kennel to take a look, but he thought it should be pretty good, so he didn't go and went straight home.

After Lu Jingxing sent them out of the store and returned to the office, he saw Sun Chongwu had already arrived.

"How is Wangwang's legs..."

"We've done all the examinations. Let's just give it two days of conservative treatment. Mainly, its physical condition doesn't allow for surgery right now. We think its hind legs may need to be amputated..." Lu Jingxing shook his head helplessly. There was nothing else he could do.

"Well, we just have to do our best. It's okay if it gets infected and kills someone in the future." Sun Chongwu patted him on the shoulder.

Lu Jingxing looked at the time. He had spent the whole afternoon hanging out with Bai Luo and the others. The afternoon passed so quickly that he hadn't done anything yet and it was time to get off work.

"I'll clean up here, you wait a moment, there's a regular meeting and you can leave. I've greeted Uncle Yang and asked him to keep his seat." Lu Jingxing said to Sun Chongwu with a smile.

"Hey, go and do your thing, I'm fine. As soon as I got home, I heard my mother nagging me to find a girlfriend. I didn't want to listen so I just left." Sun Chongwu said with a helpless smile.

"It's time for you to find one. The old man must be missing his grandson, haha..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"Not only that, she told me to find one quickly. If that doesn't work, we can just get married and divorce later. She wants to collect gift money, saying that too much has been given out and she wants to take it back. Now there are several gifts she can't collect anymore. You see, her idea makes me happy..." Sun Chongwu thought of what his mother said and couldn't help laughing again.

"Auntie, your idea is good, haha, it's quite unique. However, it's too unique, haha..." Lu Jingxing also laughed after hearing this.

He poured Sun Chongwu a cup of tea, sorted out today's work, and prepared to go inspect the store.

"I'm going to take a walk in the backyard. I haven't been back for a long time." Sun Chongwu got up and walked towards the backyard without waiting for Lu Jingxing to greet him.

As soon as I reached the back door, I ran into Sun Xing coming out of the cattery.

Sun Xing quickly followed him and put his arms around his neck: "Brother Sun, when did you come back? Why didn't you come to see me?"

"Hey kid, I heard that you got married? I'm sorry, when you got married, I was still in a corner of the village saving dogs, and I couldn't attend your wedding..." Sun Chongwu said embarrassedly.

"What's the big deal? I wanted to send you a message, but I couldn't find you. Come, follow me to our pet park and take a look at the pets I raise..." Sun Xing is no longer interested in talking about marriage and is obviously not interested.

Mainly, he also realized that he could not build his happiness on the suffering of others.

He said that reptiles were more suitable for him and Sun Chongwu.

Sun Chongwu was also happy to have someone to take him around, so he happily followed Sun Xing to the reptile shop.

When Sun Xing excitedly took out his newly hatched nest of baby snakes to show Sun Chongwu, and put one of the little guys in Sun Chongwu's hands.

Sun Chongwu was frozen at this point.

Sun Xing didn't realize it at first and was still excitedly introducing himself.

He turned around suddenly and found that Sun Chongwu didn't react at all. When he looked at him again, he laughed.

"No, Brother Sun, you are afraid of snakes..." Sun Xing smiled and quickly took the little thing from Sun Chongwu.

Sun Chongwu was distracted for a moment, and his face turned three shades pale for such a grown man who traveled all over the country every day.

"I don't know either. It turns out I'm afraid of snakes..." It took him a long time to react.

"Haha, no way, you are really afraid of snakes..." Sun Xing didn't expect this, but when he saw Sun Chongwu's look, he couldn't laugh anymore.

He quickly put the nest of little creatures that he was so proud of back into the box, and took Sun Chongwu away from that place of trouble.

"You've traveled all over the country, have you never encountered a snake?" Such a grown man was frightened by such a small snake, which really surprised and curious him.

"I have encountered it, but I can hide if I encounter it. I do have some aversion to this little guy in my heart, but I don't think I am so afraid of it. I tell you, it's not that I am afraid of it, but once you put it in my hand, I can't move..." He seemed to shudder, as if that feeling came again: "I feel that it makes me freeze and I can't move."

"Haha, this is the first time I see you in this situation. Haha, I have to be more careful next time. I saw that when you first came in, you didn't say you were afraid of them, and I didn't think about it in that way. Most people would not come in if they were afraid..." At this time, Sun Chongwu had returned to normal, and Sun Xing found it more and more interesting the more he thought about it.

"Do you have any plans tonight? I'd like to treat you to a drink?" Sun Xing said with a smile.

"Calm me down. No need. I have an appointment with your boss. Next time you become a father, remember to notify me. I will definitely go for a drink." Sun Chongwu also laughed.
