Start at the pet store

After Lu Chen finished his homework, the four of them happily came to his aunt's house.

His uncle was in charge of the kitchen and cooked a large table of delicious food, including roasted chicken, beer duck, and shrimps, which made Lu Jingxing feel hungry.

The aunt hadn't seen Lu Chen and Lu Xi for a long time. She was very happy to see them. The coffee table was full of snacks. She didn't let them eat snacks before, but now she kept asking them to eat. Lu Jingxing smiled and said to his aunt: "Will you let me eat later? You bought so many snacks."

Aunt smiled and said: "Yes, I heard you said you were coming in the afternoon, so your uncle bought them specially. We are going to eat soon, so I will take them back later."

Everyone went to see the baby as soon as they arrived. The little guy was very cute, with a pair of eyes rolling around. Lu Chen and Lu Xi laughed when they were teased casually. Lu Chen and Lu Xi rushed to hold him, but Ji Ling refused to let go. "I just held him for a while, baby wants sister to hold him, right? Look, he is smiling at me, he just wants me to hold him."

Lu Jingxing also came over, looking at the little brother with small hands and round eyes, he felt that he was really cute. I couldn't help but pinch his cheeks. The little guy who was still laughing suddenly pouted his mouth and cried "wow".

Lu Jingxing was obviously frightened: "I didn't use any force, I just touched his face."

Auntie came over: "It's okay, baby is a little shy now. Just hug him more and he'll be fine."

Lu Jingxing was embarrassed: "Then it's okay for Ji Ling to hug him?"

"Because he likes beautiful sisters, right, Xiaobao?" Auntie took Xiaobao from Ji Ling's hands.

"Oh, baby, this is brother, brother likes you, don't cry, we won't cry." Miraculously, after Auntie coaxed him twice, he really stopped crying. Auntie held him in front of Lu Jingxing: "Come on, reach out and hug him, he won't cry when he's familiar with him."

Lu Jingxing quickly wiped his hands on his body, not knowing how to put his hands, which made Lu Chen and Lu Xi laugh.

When Lu Chen and Lu Xi were young, he was in school and lived in the dormitory. He had little time to go home, so he didn't hold him much, so he was very nervous.

Ji Ling found it very funny to see him at a loss, and told him to put his left hand down to hold the baby's butt, and just circle it with his right hand from above.

Lu Jingxing was still very nervous, and after holding it for a while, this was probably because of the family, Xiaobao really stopped crying. Lu Chen and Lu Xi teased him and he laughed again.

After a while, my uncle called for dinner, and Ji Ling ran to the kitchen to help serve the rice.

Lu Jingxing and his aunt quietly told Ji Ling that he was dating, and he would send her to school in a few days, and then let Lu Chen and Lu Xi come over for a few days.

The aunt was very happy: "This little girl is very good. You should treat her well. Just let Chenchen and Xixi come over. Anyway, it's not like they haven't taken care of her before. It just so happens that school will start in a few days, so let them play here for a few days."

Everyone ate the meal affectionately. When leaving, the aunt prepared a red envelope for Ji Ling. Ji Ling blushed and really refused to take it. The aunt held her hand: "This is a custom. Don't feel burdened. Jingxing's parents are gone. I am the only elder. Now you care about him and love him. I am really happy. I like you very much. I just hope you are good and love each other."

"Thank you, aunt. He treats me very well. I will treat him well. Don't worry." Ji Ling whispered to the aunt.

"I'm relieved, I'm relieved. Then I won't come to see you off to school. Be careful on the way. Remember to call me when you get to school." The aunt reminded Ji Ling.

"Yeah, okay." Everyone went out after saying that. Uncle said he would take them downstairs, but Lu Jingxing pushed him back, "You've worked hard all afternoon, no need to take you, we'll go by ourselves." Uncle went back with a smile.

On the way back, Ji Ling gave Lu Jingxing a red envelope, but Lu Jingxing didn't take it: "It's given to you by your aunt, just keep it, it means your aunt likes you very much. You don't have to feel burdened, as long as we are fine."

"Okay, I'll keep it first." Ji Ling carefully put away the red envelope, and said silently in his heart: "This is considered meeting the parents."

Lu Jingxing felt very happy looking at Ji Ling with a silly smile on her face.

Just after returning to the store, the old lady who sent the starling over at noon came in with a bird cage again.

"Doctor, my brother has been refusing to eat or drink since he went back, and he is not in good spirits and looks listless. I am worried and have to come to you again. Please help me take a look." Grandma walked in hurriedly.

"Take off the cover, let me take a look." Lu Jingxing took the bird cage.

After the cover was removed, the starling also opened its eyes. It was standing on one foot just now, but now it stood on both feet at the bottom of the cage. The injured foot was bandaged, because Lu Jingxing put a small Elizabethan collar on it at the time, so it couldn't peck at the foot, so the bandage was fine and hadn't fallen off. It just felt a little less energetic than in the morning.

Lu Jingxing put his finger in and pulled it, but it was too weak to peck at him.

"Grandma, what do you mean?" Ji Ling looked at Lu Jingxing and asked grandma.

Grandma looked at Lu Jingxing and said embarrassedly: "I want you to help me take care of it for a while. I'm afraid it won't eat or drink like this..."

Lu Jingxing turned around: "It's okay. It was anesthetized during the operation and hasn't woken up completely, so it doesn't eat. If you are worried, leave it here. I have a few parrots here, or you can raise them together."

"That's great, great. I'll pick it up when it's well. You can see how much it costs. Money doesn't matter. I have nothing else to do now, so I'm not afraid of this." Grandma heard Lu Jingxing said that she could adopt him. The child relaxed and the person became happy.

"Grandma, we won't charge extravagantly. We also charge on a daily basis. Leave your phone number and we'll give you a call when we think it's almost recovered." Ji Ling answered Lu Jingxing's words.

"Okay, okay, I'll call you." Grandma was relieved.

Lu Jingxing took the myna into the inner room, added a glass of water to its cage, and then brought the bird food that he usually gave to the parrots.

He opened his heart and said, "Come, drink some water and eat something, otherwise you won't be able to do anything tomorrow."

"Gah...I don't want to eat, I'm still dizzy..." Myna was weak.

"You have to eat something if you don't want to eat. Only by eating can you gain strength." Lu Jingxing was like coaxing a child.

The myna actually came over and took a peck of the bird food, and then took a sip of water. I stopped eating after a few bites.

Lu Jingxing touched its head and said, "Okay, have a good rest today and I'll help you tomorrow."

He walked out of the inner room.

Grandma just finished giving her phone address and was about to go back.

"It just ate some bird food. Don't worry, it will be fine." Lu Jingxing told his grandma again.

"Okay, I knew you had a way, so I'll go back first." Grandma said and left. Ji Ling walked her grandma to the door before turning back and said to Lu Jingxing: "I feel that the business in the store is getting better and better. I'm afraid that after I leave, all the summer workers in the store will go back to school, and you will have to hire someone else. ”

Lu Jingxing was clearing today's accounts at the front desk. When he heard Ji Ling's words, he raised his head and said, "I have this plan, but it's hard to recruit people now, and we need people who like small animals in our industry. I'll do it in two days." Post a job opening and try it out, the new store will also need manpower. "

"Yes, but unfortunately my school is too far away. I will only be able to come back to help during the long holidays." Ji Ling had a small regret.

"It's okay. You can go to school with peace of mind. This problem is not difficult to solve. Aren't there still Yang Pei and I? If it doesn't work, we can recruit a few more college students to work part-time." Lu Jingxing felt that it was not a big problem. Anyway, now There are also quite a few students working part-time in the store.

"Okay, I'll go to our school group and ask you if there is anyone who needs a part-time job. I'm afraid it's hard to find someone like me." Ji Ling said playfully.

"That's for sure." Lu Jingxing smiled: "I entered this industry because of your influence."

"Haha, what do you think? Don't regret it." Ji Ling laughed, remembering the first time the two met.

"If you don't regret it, how can you regret it?" Lu Jingxing came over and knocked Ji Ling on the head.

"Hmph, you will bully me." Ji Ling acted coquettishly.

"I told Yang Pei and Song Yuan that I will send you to school in a few days. I also told my aunt today that there should be no problem on my side. You can pack your things in the next few days and see if there is anything else. If you want to prepare, just go ahead and make preparations. Just decide on the day to leave." Lu Jingxing explained the plan to Ji Ling. He likes to do things in a planned way so as not to be in a hurry.

"Okay." Ji Ling answered simply.

Lu Jingxing turned around and was about to go to the hospital to check, when he saw something "squeaky" running in at the front door.

Ji Ling turned around and was shocked.

"Crack, click, click." It was the weasel again, dragging another big mouse, looking at Lu Jingxing with an innocent face.

"Ah, why did you send a mouse here again?" Ji Ling looked at the big mouse, which was not much bigger than a weasel, and held her head: "You have to explain it clearly to it. I have sent mice here from time to time in the past two days. I also Gotta deal with the rats.”

Lu Jingxing also couldn't laugh or cry: "Didn't I tell you that I don't want mice?"

The weasel stood up and turned its head. "Such a big rat, I haven't eaten a can in many days."

Lu Jingxing reacted: "Did you not come here these days just to catch a big rat to change the can?"

"Ka, ka ka ka." The weasel clapped his hands and turned around again, yes, yes, I want to change the can.

"Bring you a jar, please don't send mice next time, okay? If you want to eat jars, just come to me." Lu Jingxing opened a jar for it and put it in front of it. After all, it is wild, so it is better to keep it. A little distance is good.

Although he had seen Lu Jingxing a few times and knew that Lu Jingxing was a good person, he was still a little scared of the weasel. Although he wanted to eat it, he still waited until he had put it away before coming over. He started to eat in small bites and hummed while eating, "It's so delicious." , Ka Ka Ka..."

"Meow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ou, ou, ou, ou, ou, ou, ou, ou, fuu, ou!" Ba Mao, who was in the cage, smelled its scent and roared in the cage.

"Why are you here again and snatching our cans again?" It was very unconvinced.

When the weasel heard the roar, he raised his head and glanced at Ba Mao in the cage, ignored him and continued to eat him.

This made Bamao angry, "I'm talking to you, why are you ignoring me, I'm not allowed to eat, ouch ouch..."

"Okay, don't be stingy, I didn't eat your food." Lu Jingxing looked at Balamao who was fussing in the cage and quickly comforted him.

"Meow aw aw... I don't accept it... I want it too..." He's just a guy who doesn't like other people's good things.

Lu Jingxing smiled: "You're just greedy, right? Stop yelling and I'll open a can for you."
