Start at the pet store

The girl registered and made an appointment to come back for vaccination next time, and then walked out with the bouncing Niu Niu.

The remaining kittens surrounding the sofa watched Niu Niu go with reluctance.

In the afternoon, Lu Jingxing called Liao Xiangyu and he would start moving the cats around tomorrow.

Liao Xiangyu also informed the volunteers that several volunteers have been taking turns to help every day since the cats arrived in the store.

Although Lu Jingxing opened a pet store, because of these cats, the new store has really become a shelter for stray cats, so the volunteers know the situation and are willing to help.

Lu Jingxing then arranged to speed up the sanitation work here.

The message was posted on the platform at the same time, and many volunteers came spontaneously the next morning.

Changing places for cats is also a very tedious task.

Some little ones also get stressed when moving.

Because it had been locked up for a long time, the little ones were not released immediately after being brought over one by one.

They also need to be allowed to adapt to the environment first.

After everyone came over, the volunteers naturally followed.

The old store became even more lively.

After hearing that the cats were being moved, many customers also came. When they saw the ones they were interested in, they adopted a batch of them on the same day.

Lu Jingxing also didn't expect that there would be so many people coming to adopt the cats when he moved. When arranging the cats to move, he also had to take time to talk to customers about adoption. He was so busy these two days.

But in the end, the result was good. It only took two days to straighten everything out.

The cats did not show any stress that everyone was worried about.

Because the cats moved out of the new store, the backyard was immediately empty, so Liao Xiangyu freed the dogs from their cages.

The general and Heihu became the leaders, helping to train the stray dogs to go to the toilet at designated places.

The black tigers still had their majesty, and they managed to tame the dogs obediently, which surprised Lu Jingxing and the others.

After finally finishing his work, Lu Jingxing had a rare moment of leisure.

This morning, a little girl came to the store and had been playing with the cats in the corridor. When she saw other people feeding the cats with cat strips, her eyes almost turned red and she was filled with envy.

Lu Jingxing saw her when he was passing by the corridor to go to the cattery at the back. When he came back from the backyard, it was already an hour later. Unexpectedly, the little girl was still there, and she was having a good time with Bamao.

Bamao seems to like her too.

Lu Jingxing walked over with a smile: "Little sister, you have been playing here for a long time. Do your parents know?"

Because there is a children's play area, children need to be accompanied by their parents when playing in the corridor, for fear that the kittens may accidentally injure the children.

The little girl looked like she was seven or eight years old. When she heard Lu Jingxing ask her, she immediately relaxed and stood up in a panic: "Ah, brother, I'm sorry, can't I hold the kitten?"

Seeing her nervous look, Lu Jingxing was afraid of scaring her, because he also noticed that the little girl was not like some naughty children who would maliciously catch cats, but she played with them cautiously.

Lu Jingxing smiled and said, "It's not that you can't hold them, but sometimes kittens may attack people. Look, it says there that children are not allowed to play alone in this place. Where are your adults?"

Most of the store employees have been busy with the cats in the backyard cattery these two days, so this area is not like usual. Usually there are separate children, so the employees must have paid attention to it.

The little girl pinched her clothes obediently: "My mother runs a shop on this street. I had a cold today and took leave from school, so I came over to see these cats. They are really cute."

"Oh, you caught a cold. Are you feeling better now?" Lu Jingxing asked gently.

"Yeah, thank you, brother, I'm much better." The girl said sweetly.

"Kittens are indeed cute, but children cannot be hugged casually, for fear that they will bite you without paying attention." Lu Jingxing half-crouched and whispered to her.

"I really want to raise one, but my mother won't let me. She said she was afraid that I would delay my studies, but I won't. I promise I won't let it distract me from my studies, but my mother doesn't want it either. Ken." The little girl looked a little pitiful.

She didn't have cat strips on her hands, so she took a few pistachios with their shells removed and asked Lu Jingxing carefully: "Brother, will they eat these?"

"Here, these are nuts. You can feed them to the little hamsters in the children's area without removing the shells. They like to eat them. Cats don't eat these." Lu Jingxing watched her carefully take it out from the bag.

"Ah, why don't you pull out the shell? If the little hamster eats it, will it hurt the teeth?" the little girl asked curiously.

"No, the incisors of hamsters grow all their lives. They need something hard to grind them. If they are like humans and always eat soft rice, their upper and lower incisors will be pushed up. , if that happens, you will never be able to open your mouth again." Lu Jingxing tapped his front teeth with his hand and explained to the little girl. He also gave the little girl some knowledge about eating soft food.

"Oh, I only have pistachios here, can I give them to the little hamster later?" The little girl felt a little happy.

"You don't allow pets at home, right?" Lu Jingxing asked her with a smile.

The little girl nodded slightly sadly.

Lu Jingxing continued, "But what can I do? I quite agree with your parents' approach. When I was a child, I didn't raise any small animals when I was your age. I even raised them in the past two years after I went to college. So you don't have to envy others. We are all the same."

"Really?" The girl was a little unconvinced.

"Of course, I lied to you that I was a puppy. You are still young, and primary school students must focus on studying. Your mother doesn't let you raise small animals because she is afraid that you can't control yourself, that is, you don't have good self-control. Raising small animals will distract you and affect your studies." Lu Jingxing said to the little girl seriously. He said it with great sincerity. At this moment, he seemed to feel the good intentions of his parents back then.

"I promised my mother that raising small animals would never affect my studies, and I promised that I would study harder, but..." The little girl seemed very aggrieved.

"Brother understands you, but think about it, if, in case, your grades are affected because you raise small animals, then your mother will definitely not agree to let you continue to raise them, and the small animals you raise will be given away or directly abandoned. In this case, the small animals will become stray animals, and won't they be pitiful?" Lu Jingxing patiently enlightened the little girl.

The little girl raised her lips high: "Okay... Then I will study hard and grow up quickly... When I grow up to be as old as my brother, I will open a pet shop as big as my brother, and I will have many small animals." She looked at Ba Mao who followed her, and probably thought about how pitiful it would be if Ba Mao ended up on the street: "But, brother, I still want one now."

Lu Jingxing smiled: "If you really want to have a pet, I don't think it's impossible. You should start to exercise your self-control from now on, such as getting up on time every day, going to bed on time, and finishing your homework on time, so that your mother doesn't have to urge you. Then help your mother do things within your ability, such as tidying up your room, cleaning, and so on. Then study hard, and when your mother sees your performance, you may be able to discuss it with your mother."

The little girl turned from crying to laughing, hope ignited in her eyes, and nodded vigorously at Lu Jingxing: "Brother, I I understand. I will study hard. Thank you, brother. "

Lu Jingxing looked at her as if he was looking at his own sister. He smiled and touched her head: "Don't thank me. These things are easy to say but not easy to do. It is even more difficult to persist. We can set a small goal first. How long to persist, set it for yourself. Maybe mom will see your performance and agree one day. "

The little girl smiled and raised her hand and made a small fist: "Brother, believe me, I can persist."

She squatted down again and touched Ba Mao's head: "Bamao, I'm leaving. I'm going back to school now. I won't take leave in the afternoon. I have to study hard. Maybe one day I can raise a kitten of my own. "

Bamao was very respectful. He whispered: "Meow...", rubbed the little girl's hand with his head, half-closed his eyes, and kept "gurgling" in his throat. It seems that he likes this little girl very much.

Lu Jingxing listened to her conversation with Ba Mao and smiled slightly. After the little girl said goodbye to Ba Mao, he sent her to the door. He did not return to his office until he saw the little girl jumping into his store.

In fact, many people now keep small pets, which is the situation Lu Jingxing said. Just feed them, but small animals need spiritual companionship.

In the case of the little girl, he still does not want her to keep one. Unless the family also likes kittens or puppies and can accept them together, it is very likely that the little guy will eventually become a stray animal with a little interest at the beginning.

As soon as he sat down in the office, Xiao Sun came in and called him: "Brother Lu, a pair of people, probably father and son, came and said they wanted to buy a dog. They said they came to you specially..."

Come to me specially? Lu Jingxing was confused.

He immediately stood up and walked towards the hall.

In the hall, a man wearing a baseball cap followed by a chubby little boy, who was holding Jia Ziyin in his hands.

Lu Jingxing thought about it and realized that he didn't know such a person.

However, he still walked over with a smile.

"Hello, I'm Lu Jingxing, may I ask..." He said to the man in the baseball cap with a smile.

"Hello, Dr. Lu, you are younger than I thought..." The man in the baseball cap stretched out his hand to shake hands with Lu Jingxing.
