Chapter 941: Raising Your Own Value
"Let me make the Huajuan, and you make the Tangyuan. When the results come out, notify Doctor Xiaojiu to treat you..." Lu Jingxing ordered.

"Oh, okay..." He said as he walked outside with the dumplings in his arms.

"Then let's..." The man pointed at himself and his girlfriend and looked at Lu Jingxing.

"Take the receipt to the front desk to pay the fee. Since we are not sure how the operation will be performed, you should create a file first and pay a partial deposit." Lu Jingxing handed them the receipt and picked up Huajuan.

"Okay, let's pay at the front desk, right..." the man asked as he took the bill.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, after you hand it in, you will wait in the lounge outside. I will come to you after the results come out. Before the operation, I need your signature..."

"Okay..." The two of them took the list and walked out.

"Don't tell mom when you go back that the treatment will cost so much money, otherwise she will scold you again. She has always been against us raising you. If she hears that the treatment will cost so much money, she will be so heartbroken." The girl said softly to the boy.

"I know, I won't tell anyone, and you should stop telling them off. Let's just say it's just a little indigestion. Alas, we've been busy for nothing for the past half month and sent them both to the hospital." The man shook his head helplessly.

"Just be thankful that we have some extra money this month. Otherwise, the four of us would be left with nothing..." the girl said softly.

"That's true. Well, next, I have to take more orders and make more extra money. I can't let my wife starve..." the man said with a chuckle.

Lu Jing walked behind them, listening to the two people whispering, and thought that these two people had a pretty good attitude.

The results came out very quickly. Just as Lu Jingxing had initially diagnosed, Tangyuan was suffering from constipation, while Huajuan was suffering from urinary retention caused by stones.

Lu Jingxing arranged Xiaojiu to give Tangyuan an enema.

I found two owners to sign the consent form for the surgery. "The result is the same as what I said before. Tangyuan is not a big problem. As for Huajuan, you can take a look. It has stones that have caused urinary tract obstruction and it is completely unable to urinate on its own. It has a lot of stones and it must have not urinated for a long time. Now it needs a stone removal surgery. After the surgery, you need to help it urinate immediately."

"Kidney stones?" The woman seemed to have never thought that it might be caused by kidney stones: "How could there be kidney stones? Then...then..." She stuttered in a hurry.

"You don't need to worry too much. We have confirmed the location of the stones through X-rays and ultrasound examinations. We will perform surgery to crush and remove the stones, and then clear the urethra. We will also use medication for treatment later. Huajuan's treatment may take a little longer, but it's not a big problem. You sign the consent form for the surgery first, and I will arrange the surgery right away..."

He handed the consent form for the surgery to the two of them.

"Is it enough to just sign one's name?" The male protagonist was about to sign immediately.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, I can sign any of you."

"No, it's written here that it's life-threatening, doctor..." The hostess's face changed after reading it.

"This is a procedural issue. All surgeries have risks. We cannot give you a 100% guarantee. This is the same as human surgery. However, I can tell you that there will be no problem with Huajuan..." Lu Jingxing has faced too many such customers, such cat and dog owners, and he is very calm about such questions.

"But, but..." The hostess wanted to say something.

"Oh, it's okay. Last time you had that surgery, you needed partial anesthesia and the doctor asked me to sign a consent form, which is similar to these things. The doctor won't do the surgery on you if you don't sign it..." The man pulled the woman's hand and comforted her.

"Are you really okay?" the woman asked doubtfully.

"Don't worry, now that you're here, please trust me..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"I believe, I believe, he is the best pet doctor we have. By the way, Dr. Lu, will you perform the surgery yourself? If it is another doctor, I won't sign..." The man suddenly looked up and said when he was halfway through signing.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, I will perform the surgery myself. I will be ready to go into the operating room after you sign." He replied.

After listening to her, the man quickly signed his name: "That's fine, I believe you..." Then he stood up and put his arm around the woman's shoulders: "It's okay, under Dr. Lu's hands, the accident rate is less than one in a thousand, it's okay. By the way, can we go in and watch the operation?" After comforting the woman, he asked Lu Jingxing.

"Huajuan is not okay..." Lu Jingxing shook his head: "Tangyuan is okay, it's in the treatment room next door, you can go see it, and it won't take too long, after it's been filled, you can take it back. Huajuan had better be hospitalized today..."

"Oh, okay. Then we'll accompany Tangyuan while waiting for Huajuan outside. Thank you for your hard work..." The man bowed with both hands to thank Lu Jingxing.

"You're welcome. The operation usually takes less than two hours. If there's no other problem, I'm ready to go..." After Lu Jingxing said this, he bent down slightly to indicate, and prepared to go out with the two of them.

The little guy hasn't urinated for a long time, and there is no time to delay.

He pointed the two to the treatment room and prepared to go to the operating room.

"Meow...Brother..." At this moment, Jiaziyin, who had been lying on the cabinet, suddenly cried out loudly, then sat down and looked at Lu Jingxing sadly.

Lu Jingxing then remembered that he asked Jia Ziyin to wait for him obediently on the counter, and then he was busy dealing with rice dumplings and steamed buns, and actually forgot about it completely.

He turned around, looked at Jia Ziyin apologetically, and waved his hand: "I'm sorry, Jia Ziyin, I'm really too busy and don't have time to accompany you. Look, the Huajuan that just came is very sick, and I have to go and treat it. What should I do?"

When he waved, Jia Ziyin had already jumped down from the top of the cabinet. Lu Jingxing walked a few steps closer, picked it up in his hands, and stroked its back.

It no longer remembered how it had blackmailed Lu Jingxing, and it was walking very smoothly.

"Meow, ow..." It hummed a few words with some dissatisfaction.

"How about this, I'll take you home tonight, okay? I'll stay with you tonight..." Lu Jingxing felt like he was a little guilty, and after thinking for a while, he came up with this idea.

"Meow meow, okay..." Jia Ziyinyuan narrowed his eyes, as if he agreed with the idea, then jumped nimbly from his hand to the ground and went to the backyard without looking back.

Lu Jingxing was a little slow to react to this guy's actions. He waited until it turned the corner, then smiled and left the office and headed for the operating room.

An assistant was already helping with the preparations. When he saw him come in, he quickly said, "Brother Lu, I'm almost ready. I'm waiting for you to apply the anesthetic to Hua Juan."

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Okay, I'll do it..."

……

In the treatment room, Xiaojiu and Xiaopang were holding Tangyuan. The little guy didn't know what was going on, so he lay quietly under their hands. He might feel quite comfortable and was snoring. Xiaojiu smiled and said, "Tangyuan should have a good personality."

"Yes, it has a very good personality and never gets impatient or noisy when doing anything." The male owner also said with a smile.

"You're snoring now, and you'll be howling later..." Xiaojiu said with a smile.

Before he could finish his words, Tangyuan had already started screaming: "Meow...Ahh...Oh my god..." The sound became louder and louder.

"Alright, alright, it will be done soon, it will be done soon..." After Xiao Jiu flushed it once, he looked up at his two owners and said, "We have to do it again. Its poop is too much and too hard. We can't clean it up in one go..."

"Ah, let's do it again..." The woman wrinkled her nose and said dissatisfiedly.

"We don't want to either, but flushing it just once won't be effective. If we don't clean it all at once, it might come back again in a few days. Why not clean it all at once today?" Xiao Jiu asked.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Let's do it again..." the man said directly.

"Okay, Xiaopang, let it rest for a while..." Xiaojiu instructed Xiaopang.

Two minutes later, it happened again.

By the time it was done, Tangyuan’s voice had become hoarse from howling, but the good thing was that it felt relieved.

Xiaojiu and the others put it on the treatment table. The little guy turned around and looked at his pile of poop, as if he was lost in thought.

"Okay, okay, it's okay. You can go back and eat normally..." Xiaojiu patted the little guy's head.

“No, Brother Xiaojiu, you…you haven’t even cleaned up the poop yet, and you’re already talking about eating. Who can eat this…” Xiaopang said with disgust.

Xiaojiu laughed: "It can eat it..."

The two owners also laughed. Although Tangyuan suffered a lot, it was not a serious illness. Fortunately, it was okay.

"Oh, Tangyuan, you are raising your own price. It has increased by another eight hundred..." the man said, picking up Tangyuan.

"How much are you worth?" asked Xiaopang.

"I bought it for 0 yuan at the beginning. I was constipated once two years ago. I only did it once that time, but it still cost me a small amount of 600 yuan. Generally speaking, it should be around 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. Now I'm worth almost 4,000 yuan..." the man said with a smile.

"That's okay..." Xiaopang smiled.

The woman asked, "Can we give it a bath? We have to wait for Huajuan anyway. If possible, we can give Tangyuan a bath before going back."

Xiaojiu shook his head: "I don't recommend it today. It has been constipated for a few days and is not feeling well to begin with. It has just howled with all its strength for so long, so it is relatively weak now. Besides, you need to queue up to take a bath here. You need to make an appointment at least two hours in advance, and you have to be a member. These are secondary. The main thing is that I don't recommend taking a bath today."

"Oh, okay, sorry..." the woman said repeatedly.

"It's okay. I'll give you some tissue to wipe it. It's normal to be disliked. After all, it's just an enema..." Xiaojiu laughed and handed the woman some wet tissues for cats and dogs.

The woman quickly took it and went outside with her boyfriend, holding the dumplings.

Xiaojiu and the others had to clean up in here, and it smelled bad.

An hour and a half later, Lu Jingxing also walked out of the operating room.

The couple in the corridor immediately came forward and said, "Doctor Lu, how is Hua Juan?"

Lu Jingxing showed the basin in his hand to the two people: "This is the stone taken out of its urethra, take a look..."

"Oh, this is the stone. There are not many of them..." said the man.

"It may not be much compared to humans, but it is quite a lot for cats. What's more, its urethra is so small. If this thing is stuck a little bit in the urethra opening, no matter how small it is, it will be fatal to it." Lu Jingxing said disapprovingly.

"That's right. How is Huajuan now?" the woman asked.

"Don't worry, it's okay. We've already catheterized it and are waking it up from the anesthetic. It will be out in half an hour. Just wait a little longer." After he said that, he went straight back to the operating room without waiting for the two to react. The young assistant had been to the operating room several times before, and the process of waking the little guy from the anesthetic was not absolutely safe, and he was afraid of any accidents.

Xiao Liu was not here today. After making the flower rolls, Lu Jingxing continued to receive customers and was busy until the end of the shift. When he finished the last one, he patted his shoulders and stretched: "I'm so tired..."

But after looking at the time, he knew that he had finally made it through the day.

He walked to the hall. Most of the employees had gone off work. Ding Fang was clearing today's accounts. When she saw Lu Jingxing coming out, she looked up at him and said, "Brother Lu, I brought you your meal. Do you want to eat now? When you are done, go back and have a rest. I will take care of the cleaning later. I am on duty tonight."

Lu Jingxing nodded: "It's okay, I'll take a look around before I leave. Is the store okay these days?" He had not asked Ding Fang about the situation in the store during the few days he was away.

"Overall it's been okay. Just yesterday morning, a weird aunt came to the store and made me laugh..." Ding Fang said as she handed the meal to Lu Jingxing.

"What's going on..." Lu Jingxing took the lunch box, sat down at the small round table, and asked.

"It was early in the morning when the auntie came in and asked if our store provides dog grooming and shaving services. I said yes and gave her a price. She asked if I could do it now. I told her I had to queue up as there was one in front doing it. Then you know what she said. She first asked me if we had any shaving clippers in our store. I said yes and they were 80 yuan each. She calculated and said it was not worth it, and then she prepared to leave. So I didn't keep her." Ding Fang stopped the work in her hands and talked to Lu Jingxing about what happened in the morning.

Lu Jingxing nodded when he heard this, thinking that this was normal.

"The problem is, she came back immediately and asked me: Hey, girl, you guys don't need this shaver now, can you lend it to me for a while, I'll return it to you later. I live in the front, it will be done in 20 minutes, I don't want it for free, I'll give you five dollars then, you can earn the five dollars yourself, anyway, the shaver is here, right..." Ding Fang laughed when she said this.

"Brother Lu, what do you think of her train of thought..." she asked with a smile.

Lu Jingxing also shook his head helplessly: "There are all kinds of people in this world, it's normal, normal... What did you say later?" He wanted to listen to it.
