Start at the pet store

Lu Jingxing brought two bags of cat food to the old man: "It's not easy for you. Although raising cats doesn't require walking every day like raising dogs, you said that you have raised more than 20 cats. It's not easy to persevere."

"Yeah, so now my son doesn't understand me very much. My son is in his thirties and he won't get married. I said it's because he won't get married and give me a child for us to play with, so we can only play with cats. Yes, he is speechless every time because of this. Hahaha, in fact, even if he gets married and has grandchildren, I still have to raise a cat..." The old man is a bit naughty.

Lu Jingxing also laughed loudly: "Be careful, I will tell your son, haha..."

The old man laughed heartily again: "That's a good relationship, haha. Do you have time now? Come with me to my house?"

"Let me see if there is anything else. Please wait for me for a moment." After speaking, Lu Jing walked to the front desk and looked at today's schedule. The surgery was scheduled for the afternoon. There was nothing else to do in the morning. He should drive there. It won't be long, so go check it out.

The old man stood upright at the gate with a cane, waiting for Lu Jingxing to come out, and then walked towards his car together.

Lu Jingxing was carrying two large bags of cat food, and Xiao Sun helped carry several bags of cat litter into the car.

The old man looked at Lu Jingxing: "Doctor Lu, don't you bring surgical tools?"

This confused Lu Jingxing and asked, "Surgical tools? What surgical tools?"

"Is that the sterilization surgical tool?" The old man made a knife gesture.

Lu Jingxing smiled: "No, I brought a cage. If you want to be sterilized later, you can tell me and I will bring it back to do it. We don't do it at home. We have to be careful about infection. Besides, surgery, even if it is a sterilization surgery, is not easy." It doesn’t mean that you can do it right away, but you also have to fast.”

"Oh oh oh, it's so troublesome. I thought I could just catch it like a capon and slash it with a knife. That's fine. Let's go." After saying that, he got into the passenger seat and murmured in a low voice: "Before It seems that the old Chen family just clicked at the door?" He whispered, but Lu Jingxing didn't hear it.

Lu Jingxing looked at the old man's deft movements and saw how they were so different from the trembling old man yesterday.

He was about to start the car. After thinking about it, he went back to the store and called Xiao Liu up. He was afraid that it would be difficult to catch the cat alone later.

Xiao Liu went out with Lu Jingxing for the first time, and he was very excited. Lu Jingxing looked at his excited expression and raised his eyebrows unconsciously, he is such a big kid, haha.

It's really fast to drive here, it only takes ten minutes, but if you walk, it will only take about forty minutes: "Old man, did you just walk here?"

The old man was a little stunned when he suddenly asked him: "No, my son took me for a while." That's more like it. If you walk over, he should be more careful next time if he is alone.

The old man's house is quite big. According to big cities, it is a small villa, but in Long'an, it is just a detached house in the suburbs.

So it is really easy to raise cats and dogs, at least they are not afraid of disturbing the people.

Hearing the sound of the car, the old man's mother-in-law came out of the house.

Seeing the old man getting out of the car, she hurried over and said, "Where have you been? Why didn't you say anything."

"I went to Xiao Lu's place. Look, I brought him here." The old man pointed at Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing smiled and shouted: "Hello, grandma..."

The old woman has a straight back and deep and bright eyes. Although she has silver hair, she still looks strong: "Oh, Xiao Lu, the old man came back and talked to me for a long time yesterday, come on, come on, hurry up and sit in the house, That little comrade, come in quickly..." He said and welcomed the two of them in.

Lu Jingxing followed the old lady and walked in. The old lady's house was clean and tidy. Although the house looked a bit dated, it was very warmly decorated.

There is a desk in the corner of the room. There is a computer on the table that is still turned on. It seems that the old lady must have been looking at the computer just before they came. Lu Jingxing couldn't help but admire that at such an old age, he would still use such a young person like us. .

There is a painting hanging on the wall, depicting a small bridge and flowing water in spring, like a freehand landscape painting.

The silver gradation cat that was rescued yesterday was lying lazily on the sofa. When he saw someone coming in, he immediately stretched his body, squinted his eyes and whispered "meow", as if he was unhappy that someone interrupted him. Its sweet dreams.

When it took a closer look, it was obviously stunned for a moment when it saw that it was Lu Jingxing. It immediately walked over with its tail raised, stuck on Lu Jingxing's trouser leg and acted coquettishly.

Xiao Liu was a little strange: "Hey, it's so familiar..."

The old man followed behind and laughed: "It's not familiar. It's thanking yesterday's lifesaver, haha... Mimi, isn't it?" He bent down and picked up Mimi.

Mimi nestled in his arms and "meowed" in agreement.

Xiao Liu was left with a confused face. He didn't know what happened yesterday. Lu Jingxing also smiled and was not prepared to explain to him.

The old lady quickly asked them to sit down, took out a lot of snacks from under the coffee table, and kept asking them to eat.

Then he turned around and went into the kitchen, saying he was going to make a cup of good tea to entertain them.

Xiao Liu was a little surprised when he saw the old man being so enthusiastic at first, thinking he was some relative of Lu Jingxing, but Lu Jingxing didn't look like him, so he roughly guessed it after hearing what the old man said. He just sat quietly with her, taking a few bites of a biscuit from time to time, so as not to look so at a loss.

The old man was very happy and kept pulling Lu Jingxing to talk about his experience of raising cats over the years. Lu Jingxing chatted with him for a while, looked at the time, and was a little impatient: "Grandpa, let's go to the backyard."

The old man stood up immediately: "Look at my memory, I forgot the important things. Let's go..."

Xiao Liu also stood up immediately, and the three of them went to the backyard together.

You can't see it from the front, but this backyard is really big.

The yard is full of various flowers and plants, and the colorful flowers sparkle in the sunshine, which makes people feel happy.

There is an ancient well in the center of the yard, the kind of hand-cranked one. Lu Jingxing saw it at his grandmother's house in the countryside when he was very young, and he felt particularly familiar with the ancient well.

There is also a row of vegetable fields next to the yard, where various vegetables are planted.

In the yard, in the corners of the wall, there are furry cats hidden.

They are either lying in the sun and taking a nap, or a few of them are jumping up and down and playing.

The old man waved his hand, and several little guys ran over. He caught one of the cats with bright fur: "Look, I've wanted to sterilize this one for a long time. It has given birth to several babies."

The belly of the cat the old man caught was already very big, and it was estimated that it would give birth soon.

"Have you not sterilized them?" If they were not sterilized, there would definitely be more than this many, and the number would double every year.

"That's not the case. We used to have a barefoot doctor and veterinarian. He passed away last year. He used to come to help me neuter a few cats every year, but he didn't do that for the new ones after he left." He didn't have the habit of taking cats to the pet store. He used to come to the store. The mumbling just now was about him.

In the past, his son would help him buy cat food online. Later, his son was not willing to buy it, so he learned to go online by himself, and then his wife would stew meat soup and rice for the little guys, and the cat food was just mixed in.

Lu Jingxing glanced at them. There were not only 20 cats here, but probably at least 30.

"Do you know how many of them are not sterilized?" Lu Jingxing casually grabbed a blue cat. This cat was very clingy. He took it and it didn't resist at all. It even squinted its eyes. Lu Jingxing touched its belly and it looked like it was enjoying it.

He was so lucky. The one he casually grabbed was not sterilized.

"Xiao Liu, go get a few cages. I guess there are quite a few..." Lu Jingxing looked at the cats that could be picked up easily and he felt a little nervous.

Xiao Liu ran away and brought six cages in a few minutes. Lu Jingxing locked the first one in first.

"This, I really don't know. There weren't so many before. Many of them came in the second half of last year and this year. I'm afraid there are only six or seven this year." The old man smiled innocently.

"Old woman, do you know how many of us have not had eggs?" The old man shouted to the inner room.

The old lady came out of the inner room with a tea tray, and the aroma of coffee drifted far away...

Lu Jingxing's eyes lit up. This old couple is really particular.

"Come, try my craftsmanship, freshly ground coffee, I learned it from the Internet, how is it?" The old lady came over with a smile.

Xiao Liu was surprised: "Grandma, you are so amazing, aren't you?"

This old couple's life is really unique. Lu Jingxing thought that with so many cats at home, the old couple would definitely not have any other fun in life. When he first walked in, he saw the computer, walked to the backyard, and saw the vegetable garden and flowers and plants in the corner. It was enough to surprise Lu Jingxing. Unexpectedly, the old lady gave them a big surprise.

Grandma urged them with a smile: "Try it quickly, how is it?"

Xiao Liu took a sip first, with an exaggerated expression, and gave grandma a thumbs up: "Grandma, you are really great, it tastes really good..."

Looking at Xiao Liu's exaggerated expression, everyone laughed, but the taste was really good, Lu Jingxing couldn't help but give grandma a thumbs up: "Grandma, it's really delicious..."

Hearing that they all said it tasted good, grandma smiled even more brightly, and the old man also laughed: "Not bad, you have become a master, haha..."

"You are so kind to me, I will be happy all day long." The old man looked at his wife lovingly, and this scene made Lu Jingxing and Xiao Liu very envious, it was such a warm scene.

Grandma saw that everyone was drinking, put the tea tray behind her, and pointed to the right side of the wall: "We built two small houses over there for the cats to live in. I roughly remembered that there should be about ten cats that are not sterilized, there are more male cats, and there are only two or three female cats. The other old residents are sterilized."
