start with a pet store

Chapter 943: Make a promise to each other for a hundred years

Xiao Songzi's shout made Lu Jingxing laugh out loud: "Okay, okay, I'll give you a pine tree as a reward."

Then he raised his head and said, "Come on, come on, there are prizes..."

He poured some mealworms into the box, and King Kong and Green Kong also fluttered down from a high place.

After they had finished eating, Lu Jingxing finally responded: "Hey, where's the starling?"

"Ruyi, where is the mynah bird?" You know, the mynah bird is usually always with Ruyi.

Ruyi pecked a few times and looked at him: "Let's go, Ba, let's go..."

"Gone, where did you go?" he asked puzzledly.

Ruyi kept repeating the words "left, left".

Lu Jingxing guessed that he would not be able to get the answer from Ruyi.

I also put some mealworms in the food boxes of the two blackbirds nearby.

Then he turned around and went to the cattery.

After cleaning the cattery and asking the staff on duty if everything was normal these days, he walked out.

When they passed the corridor, Jia Ziyin jumped out from behind and hugged his legs: "Meow... "

Lu Jingxing smiled and picked it up: "Don't worry, I remember it. Let's go now. I'm going to get off work soon. Let's go see Brother Chenchen and the others tonight, and we can also see Ba ​​Mao by the way. Are you happy?"

After coming back from Hong Kong City, I haven’t been to my aunt’s house yet. I get off work early today, so I can go over and see her.

Jia Ziyin was so happy that she stood up and stared at him: "Meow, is that true?"

"Really, we'll set off right away." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

He walked to the lobby and saw Ding Fang still busy at the front desk. He was about to go straight to the office, but stopped and said, "Ding Fang, I noticed that the starling is gone from the parrot cage?"

Ding Fang suddenly heard a sound and immediately raised her head: "Myna, oh, you mean the myna, a grandma came a few days ago and said that the myna was hers and she took it home. I asked Sister Lingzi and she said it was hers and asked me to tell you when the time comes, I forgot about it later."

"Oh, okay, got it. I'm getting ready to get off work. Call me if you have anything..." Lu Jingxing said as he went to the office to change his clothes and went straight out.

He put a leash on the clamp and let the guy stay on his shoulder.

Jia Ziyin hadn't been out of the store for a long time. When he came out, he felt that everything he saw was new. His eyes moved around. Lu Jingxing looked at him sideways: "Jia Ziyin, please don't look like you have never seen the world."

"Meow, it's beautiful, there are so many people..." Jiaziyin meowed softly.

Lu Jingxing chuckled after hearing this: "What's the matter? Haven't you seen enough people in the store? You actually said that people are good-looking?"

"Wow, this kitten is so cute and so well-behaved..." Someone immediately saw Lu Jingxing and his Jia Ziyin.

Lu Jingxing was tall, and with his handsome face, he stood out when he walked on the street. Then, with the sound of the clip, he naturally became the focus of people on the street.

Although he knew that most of the people were looking at him because of the sound of the clip, Lu Jingxing still felt a little embarrassed. From time to time, he smiled at the people who were looking at him, and suddenly he felt that the street he walked on every day seemed so long today.

Finally walking out of the long street, he let out a sigh of relief.

Jiaziyin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Meow...you're more nervous than me..."

Lu Jingxing was startled. He stopped and stared at it in disbelief: "What? What did you say?"

"Meow, you are more nervous than me..." Jiaziyin repeated, and then prepared to jump off his shoulder.

Lu Jingxing quickly reached out and caught it, staring at the clamp in his arms in disbelief: "How could I be nervous? You are talking nonsense."

"When many people look at you, your heart beats faster. That means you are nervous..." Jiaziyin licked his paws and meowed as if he was righteous.

"No, I..." Lu Jingxing was speechless. He did feel a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many people, but he didn't feel nervous. However, he didn't want to explain to this guy. He didn't know how to explain it clearly.

"No need to explain, explanation is just covering up..." Suddenly, another sentence came out from the clip voice.

After saying this, it stretched lazily, seeming a little nonchalant.

Lu Jingxing looked at the little guy in his arms with surprise and joy, and the expression in his eyes could truly be described as changeable.

He seemed to have never had such communication with any small animal in his memory.

What I didn't expect was that Jiaziyin could burst out words so calmly.

His expression changed again and again.

Fortunately, they had passed the crowded street and the road he was walking on was deserted, so no one could see his appearance.

In order to prove that Jiaziyin could really speak a lot, Lu Jingxing chatted with it from time to time throughout the rest of the journey.

I also walked much slower than I usually do when I'm alone.

It usually takes me about ten minutes to walk there, but today it took me almost twenty-five minutes to get to my aunt’s house.

He looked at the clip in his arms and said softly, "We're here..."

"Meow..." Jiaziyin responded softly, and it seemed to have returned to the state of that ignorant little cat.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, he heard the laughter of Xiaochen and Xiaoxi coming from his aunt's house. Lu Jingxing also smiled slightly, then walked over and knocked on the door.

"Who is it..." came my aunt's voice from inside.

"Aunt, it's me..." Lu Jingxing raised his voice.

"Oh, it's brother, it's brother..." Only Xiaochen and Xiaoxi's loud voices were heard from inside, and then the door opened.

"Brother, brother..." Xiaochen and Xiaoxi rushed to open the door barefoot and went straight into Lu Jingxing's arms.

Lu Jingxing quickly threw Jia Ziyin to the ground, and then caught the two siblings who rushed over, one by one.

"Xiao Jing, why are you here at this time?" Auntie also ran out holding Xiaobao in her arms: "Xiaobao, look who's here, call brother..." "Brother..." Xiaobao called out in a soft voice.

"Hey, Xiaobao, come here and let brother hug you... Oh, wait, brother just hugged Jia Ziyin, let brother wash his hands first." Lu Jingxing wanted to pinch Xiaobao's hand but retracted it. It's okay for adults, but children still need to be careful. It's not that he dislikes Jia Ziyin.

My uncle-in-law came out of the kitchen and looked at the people at the door with a smile: "It's okay, didn't you see how affectionately he and Ba Mao were playing together? He should hold her in his arms when she sleeps every day."

"Uncle, you haven't finished cleaning the kitchen yet." Lu Jingxing said with a smile when he saw his uncle.

"It will be fine soon, it will be fine soon..." My uncle laughed.

Lu Jingxing still insisted on going to the kitchen to wash his hands before taking Xiaobao from his aunt.

My aunt followed him to the living room: "You haven't told me yet why you are here at this time. Is there something wrong?" she asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I just came back from Hong Kong yesterday, and I didn't remember telling you, so I came to see you early after get off work tonight. It's okay..." Lu Jingxing looked back at his aunt and said with a smile.

"Are you really okay?" Auntie still said worriedly.

"It's really okay, what could happen? Didn't you see I was still carrying the clip? I was planning to go back, but I thought of coming to see you guys..." Lu Jingxing walked inside while teasing Xiaobao.

Xiaochen and Xiaoxi followed and ran in front.

"Oh, that's good. By the way, have you eaten?" my aunt asked again.

"Yeah, I ate it. I ate it in the store..." Lu Jingxing nodded.

The aunt looked up at the time and said, "Then you play with Xiaochen and Xiaoxi for a while. I'm going to make some lei cha now..."

"No need, it's too troublesome..." Lu Jingxing sat down on the sofa and looked at his aunt.

"It's okay, it will be done soon, you guys can play..." Aunt said and walked towards the kitchen.

Lu Jingxing hadn't had lei cha for a long time and really missed the taste. Knowing that his aunt couldn't persuade him anyway, he stopped talking and focused on entertaining Xiaobao.

Lu Chen and Lu Xi sat on his left and right, chattering about what had happened in their respective schools in the past two days.

Lu Jingxing listened carefully to what the little ones said with a smile, and the expression on his face showed relaxation and enjoyment.

The uncle also came over and sat down opposite them: "Xiao Jing, how was your trip to Gangcheng? Did you encounter any difficulties?" They had dinner at the aunt's house that night when they went to Xi Wenxin's place. They all knew that Lu Jingxing was invited to Gangcheng.

Lu Jingxing smiled and shook his head: "It's not a difficult task. When I first went there, my original intention was to save a dozen cats. After I arrived, I changed my mind and bought the store with my classmate. Now he is going through the formalities there, and the store may be opened in two months."

"Ah, you're opening a store in Hong Kong?" Uncle asked in surprise, "What about this place?"

"This side will continue to operate as normal, and the other side will be handed over to my classmate. I will provide guidance and hold shares, and my main focus will still be on this side... I won't go there either. I will just stay there for a while when it opens, and then go there only when there is anything that requires my help." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"Oh, that's good. I thought you were planning to move the store over there. However, a pet hospital over there won't need as much space as this one. It would cost a lot of money to build such a big space..." said my uncle worriedly.

"It's not as big as this one. The one we rent now is okay, about ten thousand yuan a month, but it's still small. We will rent the one next to it. After I came back yesterday, the store here was also busy, and there is no rush to open that place for the time being, so we haven't fully planned it yet. I should discuss it with my partners in the future to see if they want to invest, and then decide how big the store should be..." Lu Jingxing explained to his uncle with a smile.

"That's fine. We can't rush this. We still have to take it slow. However, uncle knows your ability, so I'm not worried about you..." Uncle smiled and said, "Come on, Xiaobao, come down and play by yourself. Let Brother Chenchen and Sister Xixi show their homework to their brother."

He reached out and took Xiaobao from Lu Jingxing's hand. Although Xiaobao was somewhat reluctant, he still obediently returned to his father's hands.

The little guy can already walk a few steps.

His father wanted to hug him, but he refused.

After hearing what their uncle said, Lu Chen and Lu Xi took out their test papers.

"Not bad, both of them got 100 points?" Lu Jingxing looked at the test papers of the two siblings with some disbelief.

My uncle said with some pride: "Yes, they are both amazing. They both scored 100 points."

Lu Jingxing looked at the two siblings. The two little guys were acting like idiots at the moment. They looked as arrogant as they could be.

"How come you are so awesome?" He smiled and looked at his two little brothers and sisters. Although he had good grades when he was in school, he only got 100 points in math when he was in the first grade. Even if he could get 100 points in math, it would be difficult to get 100 points in Chinese because it involves a short composition.

"My aunt said that as long as we both score 100 points, my brother will agree to take us to the beach during the summer vacation..." Lu Xi jumped and sat next to Lu Jingxing.

My aunt came over with an apologetic look on her face: "That's what I said, but I didn't expect that they both really got 100% back..."

Lu Jingxing laughed: "Why do I feel that Auntie, you don't want them to get 100 points?"

"I originally wanted them to stop bothering you, but who knew that these two little guys would be so amazing and both scored 100 points..." My aunt's expression was both happy and embarrassed, which made my uncle couldn't help laughing.

"Ah? What you mean is, aunt, it wasn't my brother who said this, it was just you who said this. So, is it useless even if we get 100 points?" Lu Xi reacted and looked at the three adults.

"It's useful, it's useful. It's what I told my aunt. You guys behaved so well. It's just a summer vacation to go to the beach. I will definitely take you there..." Lu Jingxing was afraid that the two little guys would be disappointed, and he would not embarrass his aunt, so he immediately laughed and said.

"Wow, really?" Xiao Xi jumped up with joy. Even Lu Chen, who always liked to act cool, smiled and was extremely happy.

"It has to be true..." Lu Jingxing assured. He looked at the test paper carefully. The answers and handwriting of the two siblings were all very standard, which made him nod involuntarily. It seemed that his aunt had really put in a lot of effort this semester. He knew how hard it was to tutor two children with their homework.

"Yeah, that's great. Let's make a pinky promise. Don't cheat..." Lu Xi stretched out her little finger and hooked it with Lu Jingxing's little finger.

"We will make a promise to each other for a hundred years and never change..."

Everyone laughed.

After Lu Jingxing made his promise to his younger siblings, he said to his aunt and uncle, "Let's go out together during the summer vacation. Uncle, please ask for leave in advance. I've told Lingzi that the store in Gangcheng should be open during the summer vacation. We'll go there after we're done there, or in early August. You can check your schedule and tell me in advance. I'll let Lingzi make a plan and we can go out together."

"We're coming too?" There was a hint of surprise in my aunt's eyes.

"Yes, there is Xiaobao, Ba Mao, and, and, Jia Ziyin..." Lu Xi jumped up.

Xiaobao also followed her and learned to dance, but he jumped one foot at a time, and he couldn't get both feet off the ground at the same time.

Everyone laughed at his appearance again.
