start with a pet store

Chapter 552 The goal is clear

"No, no..." Lu Chen looked at his brother with a guilty conscience.

"You haven't told the truth yet." Lu Jingxing's expression darkened.

"Brother, I know that he failed the Chinese language test this time..." Lu Xi said, looking at his brother's unhappy face.

Lu Jingxing was slightly relieved when he heard that it was just because he failed the exam and that he had not made any big mistakes.But he still pretended to be angry and said: "Show me the test paper later. It seems that you are not paying attention right now?"

Lu Chen secretly glanced at his brother and muttered in a low voice: "I know." He glanced at Lu Xi again.

Lu Xi stuck out her tongue and made a face at him.

Ji Ling touched Lu Jingxing and winked at him.

He came to his aunt's house for dinner. Lu Jingxing didn't want to make everyone unhappy, so he said nothing more.

Ji Ling quickly said: "Where's the baby? I haven't seen it for so long. Has it grown up?"

He said and walked in together.

When Xiaobao saw his brothers and sisters coming, he kicked his legs happily and blew bubbles.

"Ah, Xiaobao has grown up again and is becoming more and more beautiful..." Ji Ling said loudly and exaggeratedly.

"Sister Lingling, Xiaobao is a boy. The teacher said you can't call boys beautiful, but handsome!" Lu Xi said to Ji Ling seriously.

"Oh oh oh, it's Xiaobao who is getting more and more handsome. Our Xixi is so good, she knows how to correct her sister's mistakes." Ji Ling said with a smile, then picked her up and sat in the cradle and said "Ah oh oh" Xiaobao was holding her hand and waving her hand.

"Hahahaha..." My uncle burst out laughing when he heard what they said, and walked out and touched Xixi's head: "My brother is still so young, so it's okay to be pretty, haha..."

"Hahahaha..." Everyone in the room laughed.

Lu Xi was the only one who was confused. Although she also felt that her brother was indeed very beautiful now, the teacher said that boys generally do not need to be described as beautiful. Am I wrong?
Lu Jingxing smiled and shook his head. He was afraid that he would have to discuss this issue with his sister later to let her clear up her confusion.

"Come on, come on, let's eat..." The aunt brought out the last steamed egg. The bowl was so hot that she put it down and pinched her ears hurriedly.

Lu Chen looked at his aunt's actions and asked doubtfully: "Auntie, why do you touch your ears when you burn your hands? I see you put down the very hot bowl and touch your ears every time. I have tried it too, but it doesn't work like this. It doesn’t seem to relieve fever.”

"Well, it's well-founded. Think about it, are ears most susceptible to freezing in winter? It's because the earlobes have the fewest capillaries, and the low blood flow causes the earlobes to have the lowest temperature. Touching the earlobes after you've done the ironing It will make your hands feel less hot." Ji Ling explained to Lu Chen with a smile.

"Really? Then why can't I feel anything when I touch my ears after I put my rice bowl in my hands?" Lu Chen had a million reasons.

"That's because the rice bowl you are holding is not hot enough. Come on." Ji Ling put Xiaobao into the cradle: "You try to touch this bowl. Then touch your earlobe."

Ji Ling put one of Lu Chen's little hands on the edge of the bowl and let him feel it for himself. Lu Chen immediately retracted his hand and touched his earlobe: "Yeah, it's true." He looked surprised.

"I want to try too, I want to try too." Lu Xi ran to Ji Ling's side.

"Okay, you can try it too, but you can only touch it lightly. This one is still very hot." Ji Ling grabbed Lu Xi's little hand and touched it lightly. Lu Xi also imitated her brother's example and touched her own right away. earlobes, and then laughed: "It's really not hot anymore."

Lu Jingxing also smiled when he saw it.

The whole family sat down with a smile.

"Your new store opens tomorrow, should we go over and set off two firecrackers?" My uncle picked up a crab and put it in my aunt's bowl and looked at Lu Jingxing.

"Forget about the firecrackers. We haven't prepared any plans. Now the new store has no place to stay because of the batch of rescued cats. At that time, we wanted to hold a big event just to make a name for ourselves. Now that we have this thing, there is no need. If we do it again, we will just make an arch, just as a formality." Lu Jingxing made a move and swallowed the food in his mouth.

"Besides, we're not allowed to set off firecrackers now, right?" My aunt peeled the crab and gave the crab roe to Xiao Xi: "Let's go there early and send a pair of flower baskets."

Lu Jingxing wanted to say something else, but after thinking about it, he realized that this was the wish of his aunt and uncle. It didn't seem good to keep refuting it, so he nodded: "Thank you, uncle and aunt."

"What kind words can you say to me as a family? We are happy to see you are so capable now. If my sister is still here..." My aunt's eyes turned red as she held the crab leg.

"Look, you are fine, why are you crying? Come on, let's have a drink and wish Jingxing's career will become more and more prosperous..." My uncle broke the deadlock with a smile.

When Lu Chen and Lu Xi saw their uncle raising their glasses, they immediately raised the Coke glasses in their hands: "Cheers, I wish my brother's career will become more and more prosperous... Cheers"

"Cheers...cheers..." My aunt casually touched her eyes with the back of her hand and raised the cup with a smile.

Later, everyone tacitly changed the topic and finished the meal in a lively manner.

After dinner, Ji Ling insisted on helping her aunt clean up the kitchen before leaving. The aunt couldn't resist her, so she agreed with a smile. The two of them talked intimately, laughed and finished cleaning up the kitchen. The aunt and uncle held Xiaobao in their arms. They sent several people out of the community together.On the way back, Lu Jingxing took Ji Ling's hand, and Ji Ling let him hold it. The two didn't speak for a long time, listening to Lu Xi and Lu Chen chattering about what happened in school, and slowly walked home with a smile.

When she arrived at the door of her house, Ji Ling smiled and said, "How about I go stay in a hotel."

Lu Jingxing looked at her with a smile: "What, you made a lot of money?"

Ji Ling blushed: "No, I'm afraid of the inconvenience."

"What's the inconvenience? Your room has not been touched. You can just stay in your own room." Lu Jingxing raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Sister Lingzi, please stay with us. You haven't told us a story for a long time." Lu Xi shook Ji Ling's arm.

Lu Chen also walked over, looking like a young adult: "Sister Lingzi, I clean your room every time I clean it. Your room is still very clean."

Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling both laughed: "Oh, our little Chenchen is pretty good. She even knows how to clean."

Lu Chen looked down on someone and tilted his head, making Ji Ling laugh.

Lu Xi took the opportunity to shake Ji Ling's arm again. Ji Ling glanced at Lu Jingxing and said, "Okay then." Anyway, he only came back for a few days at a time. It's not like he had never lived there before. Talking too much would be pretentious. .

Lu Xi cheered: "Yeah!" He pulled Ji Ling and ran upstairs.

Lu Jingxing took the time to call the advertising company and asked them to put up the arch tomorrow morning.

In the evening, after Lu Chen and Lu Xi went to bed, they sat on the sofa and had a conversation before going to bed early. They had a busy day tomorrow.

Before Ji Ling went to bed last night, she glanced at the files of the cats that Liao Xiangyu gave her today. Before she could start adopting them tomorrow, she had to have a general understanding of the cats' conditions.

Because it was the National Day holiday the next day, many new stores opened in the commercial street, and the commercial street became busy very early.

Lu Jingxing originally didn't want to take Lu Chen and Lu Xi to the store, but the nanny aunt said that she had something to do today, and Lu Chen and Lu Xi also promised not to cause trouble. Later, the aunt called and said that she would take Lu Chen and Lu Xi to the store later. After returning home, he brought Lu Chen and Lu Xi to the store early in the morning.

The employees also came to the store early.

The coupon distribution activity that had been scheduled early was carried out as usual. Unexpectedly, there were quite a lot of people coming to collect coupons, and many of them went out in the morning.

Ji Ling rushed into the backyard as soon as she arrived at the store. It was November today, and the people who came to apply for the adoption were waiting for the door to open early in the morning.

The first person to receive the reception was a young couple.

Their goal was very clear, which was Chuanchuan, who was called "Mianbing" by the volunteers, a Persian and an unknown cat. It could still be seen on the face that one of them must be a Persian cat, because the face was very flat. , just like a pancake, so some volunteers named it "noodle pancake".

"We've seen it in the video a long time ago. Look at this." The woman has a good figure and is well-proportioned. She is wearing a green cheongsam, her hair is neatly combed, and she is wearing makeup, but she speaks very hotly.

She said and showed Ji Ling the photos on her phone.

In the photo, she is still looking like she is today, with a happy smile on her face and holding a cat in her hand that looks very similar to "Mianbing". The only difference from "Mianbing" is that it has a different pupil.

The man was wearing a rather fashionable Mao suit, but it was not a very mature Mao suit. Ji Ling flipped through the photos, and in the photo of the two of them, the man was also wearing the same suit.

The man looked at Ji Ling and glanced at him, and immediately said: "The clothes we specially wore today were given to her by her grandma in the photo. They stayed with her for more than ten years and disappeared last year, so I saw When this one appeared, we thought it was back. We flew here from SH yesterday and came here early this morning just for it. I hope you can make it happen."

The man looked to be about 25 years old. He spoke very sincerely, and when he spoke, his eyes looked at the woman from time to time, and his eyes were full of tolerance.

The woman looked at him quietly when he was talking. She didn't have the aggressiveness when she spoke. The way she stood there looked like she matched the cheongsam.

"Mianbing" has been neutered. Ji Ling carefully checked that all his indicators were normal and he could be adopted.

She took the "noodle" out of the cage, and the woman hurriedly stepped forward to catch it.

"Mianbing" is a bit unfamiliar. When others approach him, he will naturally disguise himself, erect his ears and blow up his hair.

But when the woman stretched out her hand, it actually leaned her head over on its own initiative.

Liao Xiangyu, who had heard the commotion a long time ago, came over and was a little surprised by "Mianbing"'s movements, but he quickly regained his composure. This is the insignificant tacit understanding that many cats have with their owners. Some people have a relationship with a certain person. A small animal has some kind of wonderful and strange connection, just like "noodle".

Ji Ling worked overtime last night and read the information given to her by Liao Xiangyu. She has a good memory and knows that "Mianbing" is not a close relative, so she was a little surprised when she saw "Mianbing" moving, but she has been dealing with cats for a long time. , she behaves more normally.
