Start at the pet store

Hurry up and shave, otherwise everyone will come to ask about it and it will be difficult for me to explain.

He closed the door and really shaved in front of the mirror in front of the sink. No wonder Xiao Sun asked, the dark circles under his eyes are quite obvious.

Some people can stay up all night for several nights without any problem, but how can I, at such a young age, have dark circles under my eyes after sleeping a few hours late? I can't figure it out...

But he didn't get entangled. If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it. Everyone's body is different, so there's nothing to get entangled about.

He shaved and washed his face.

He looked in the mirror again, well, not bad, he looked more energetic.

As soon as he sat down after cleaning up, Xiao Sun brought a man in.

"Brother Lu, looking for you..." Xiao Sun knocked on the door and led the man in.

Seeing that the man didn't bring any small animals and came alone, Lu Jingxing smiled and nodded: "Hello, please sit down..." He gestured to the stool opposite the desk.

The man didn't refuse and sat down directly.

Lu Jingxing felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him. He was about to doubt whether he had face blindness. How could he not recognize so many familiar people recently? But it was not his fault. After all, there were so many people in the store every day. It was not surprising that there were a few people who had seen him but had never had any dealings with him.

The man was wearing a black coat and was about 1.7 meters tall. He looked very honest and made people feel like a corporate leader at first glance.

At this glance, Lu Jingxing felt that he should not know him.

After the man sat down, he asked, "Hello, do you have any questions about your pets at home?"

There was a trace of pain in the man's calm eyes. He seemed to be brewing emotions. After a while, he said, "Doctor Lu, I came to see you on purpose."

Lu Jingxing nodded, indicating that he understood, and did not speak, waiting quietly for him to continue.

"My old man asked you for help a while ago. Do you remember?" He hesitated and asked the question.

"Old man?" Lu Jingxing thought hard. Every day, there are old men with cats and dogs here. They will politely say that they are asking me for help. If you don't make it clear, I really don't know which one you are talking about.

He had to smile and said, "I receive people here every day. I really don't know which one you are talking about?"

The man thought for a while and said, "My parents raised dozens of stray cats at home, and then I heard from my old man that you helped with sterilization..."

"Oh, so I know, the aunt is quite romantic, making coffee by herself, right? I went there twice, and she invited me to drink coffee..." Lu Jingxing immediately knew who he was talking about. He remembered that the old man seemed to have Parkinson's disease. He hadn't seen the old man come to buy cat food for a long time. Because it can be bought online now, he didn't take the initiative to call and ask.

No wonder he said the man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was. He had never seen him in person, but he looked a lot like the old man, so he felt familiar.

That's not right, why is it his son who came today, and he is so serious.

"Old man...what's wrong?" Lu Jingxing asked hesitantly.

The man saw that he knew who he was talking about, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He adjusted his sitting position and said slowly: "I came to ask you for help. My old man asked me to come to you and said that he had asked for your opinion..."

Lu Jingxing looked at him with some doubts: "You said, as long as you can help..." This person spoke too slowly. Lu Jingxing, a person who is not impatient, can't help but be a little anxious. You said what's wrong with the old man.

"My old man had a stroke the day before yesterday and is now in the hospital. He already has Parkinson's disease, and this stroke was quite sudden. The situation is not very optimistic. My father and mother have always had a good relationship. Seeing the old man fall down, my mother was so anxious that she was also hospitalized..." The man seemed very anxious.

"There are many cats at home. You will know if you have been there. I have also thought about asking someone to come back to take care of them, but it is not a long-term solution after all. The main reason is that the old man is worried. He does not trust the people invited from outside. When he is awake, he keeps talking about the cats at home, and then keeps talking about finding Dr. Lu. At first we didn't understand it. We thought he was sick and asked us to find Dr. Lu in the hospital. It was a big mistake. Later we understood what the old man meant." He looked at Lu Jingxing sincerely.

"Doctor Lu, I know that it is difficult for you to accept this big thing all at once, but I really can't think of a better way, so you see..." He looked expectant.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it. I have a cattery here, dozens of cats are no problem. Besides, I did promise the old man that I would take over his cats, don't worry about it..." Lu Jingxing stood up and poured a cup of tea for the man.

"I'm worried about the old man and aunt now, are they okay?" Lu Jingxing felt that the old couple were really good, and just hoped that they could be healthy.

"Don't worry, they are already in the hospital, and there will be no major danger for the time being. The old man may need some time to recover. My mother just has a little high blood pressure, and she will be fine after a few days. Thank you for your concern. Alas, looking at you, I also regret it. If you get married earlier, the children should be about the same age as you. This is my old man's heart disease..." The man looked at Lu Jingxing. He liked this quiet and polite boy very much.

I used to think that if a person didn't get married, he would be free to go anywhere and live a comfortable life. Now, looking back, it's a pity in life that I couldn't let my father who always liked children hold his grandson.

Lu Jingxing was a little embarrassed. This man seemed to be in a high position, but he didn't expect that he would say such heartfelt words to him.

He didn't know how to respond.

He paused before saying, "As long as the old man can recover slowly, there is hope. Now the medical conditions are so good, the old man and aunt will definitely be blessed. You don't have to worry too much..."

He thought for a while before continuing, "The old man also talked to me about his grandson. He said that as long as you feel happy now, he won't force you, so you don't have to feel too guilty. If there is a suitable one, it's not bad. Anyway, you are still so young, there are plenty of opportunities, right?"

After saying that, he was a little embarrassed. He hasn't married yet, and it seems that it's not so legitimate to persuade him.

The man smiled gratefully and took a sip of tea: "Yes, you are right. If you want to do it, it's not too late..." He seemed to be replying to Lu Jingxing's words, but more like giving himself a reassurance.

If he continued, the atmosphere would be awkward.

Lu Jingxing quickly said: "Then when is it more appropriate for me to go to your house to pick up the cat?"

The man quickly stood up: "You arrange it..." He took the paper and pen on Lu Jingxing's desk and wrote down the phone number in a few strokes: "This is my phone number. Just call me about an hour before you come. Now I have someone at home. You are welcome to come at any time..."

"Okay, then I will arrange it as soon as possible..." Lu Jingxing took the note and looked at it, and silently wrote down the phone number. The man wrote Ouyang, which seemed to be the double surname Ouyang.

There are indeed quite a few people named Ouyang here.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Doctor Lu, I will save some of the fees here later, and you can call me again if it's not enough..." He stood up and shook hands with Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing also stood up politely: "No, we are a stray cat base, we can do it for free..."

"No, it's your business if you do it for free, okay, it's not a big deal, don't bother..." He said, waved his hand and went out.

Lu Jingxing sent him to the door and turned back, because an old man holding a kitten came, holding the little guy with a loving face.

The man named Ouyang who walked out of the office looked back at the old man for a few times and walked to the front desk.

Xiao Sun at the front desk received him.

Lu Jingxing greeted him and turned back to show the old man's cat.

After doing basic examinations, it was found that the little guy had some urinary tract infection, which was not very serious. Lu Jingxing prescribed medicine for it and told the grandfather that it would be better to sterilize it. After sterilization, it would not be easy to urinate, and this situation would be much better.

But the old man was very hesitant. He felt that as a man, he knew too well how cruel it was to sterilize a cat, and he couldn't bear to sterilize his kitten.

Lu Jingxing was a little amused. It was not completely wrong for the old man to say that. It was just that he did not understand. Cats are different from humans. Humans can still do certain things after being sterilized. How could he explain this to him?

He stroked his forehead, found some information on the bookshelf, and carefully explained the advantages and disadvantages of sterilizing cats and not sterilizing them.

Finally, he said, "Grandpa, don't think that I want to make money from you by asking you to sterilize it. I am just talking about the facts. There is no rush. The little guy is only a few months old. You still have time to consider it. Anyway, you can come to us anytime after you have considered it, okay?" He smiled and said patiently.

The old man was not a stubborn person. After hearing Lu Jingxing talk for so long and saying this again, he touched the little guy's head a little embarrassedly: "No, Dr. Lu, you misunderstood me. I'm not afraid of you making money. I know that you are the most practical. I am really afraid that my little one will feel pain. But I remember what you said, and I will definitely consider it carefully..."

Lu Jingxing smiled happily. He felt that he was quite capable to hear the old man who was so opposed at the beginning say this.

After seeing off the old man, Xiao Sun walked in with a smile...

Lu Jingxing looked up at him: "Why, so happy, did you pick up money?"
