Start at the pet store

First, give the little guy a simple cleanup, and then take him to take an X-ray.

After the examination results came out, Lu Jingxing called the girl in: "Its condition is really bad, the two front limbs are useless, and they must be amputated..."

Hearing that they had to be amputated, the girl started crying again.

"Don't cry first, because you brought it here, so this decision needs to be made by you, but now amputation is the best treatment for it..." Lu Jingxing quickly pulled a few more tissues and gave them to the girl.

The girl sniffed: "Is there no other way?"

Lu Jingxing shook his head: "There is no better way. If we can save it, we will definitely try our best to save it, but now its life is more important than its legs, isn't it?" He said softly.

The girl looked at the operating room helplessly, and nodded after a while: "Then do as you said, I just hope it won't blame me in the future..."

"No, you saved it, how can it blame you?" The staff on duty poured her a glass of water.

Lu Jingxing nodded at him: "You stay with her for a while, we still need an hour or so to finish."

The staff on duty said no problem.

After Lu Jingxing went in, in order to divert the girl's attention, he said to her: "Or, you can go to the cattery for a while. Waiting here may make you more and more anxious. We have some cats in the cattery that can accompany you."

The girl looked at him gratefully: "Okay..."

She looked at the operating room again, knowing that it was useless to sit here and worry, so she followed the employee to the cattery.

After Lu Jingxing entered the office, he nodded to Yang Pei: "As planned..."

Yang Pei understood what he meant in seconds: "I have made all the preparations, I will be the main surgeon..." He was worried that Lu Jingxing had been riding in the car all day today and didn't rest much after returning.

"Okay..." Lu Jingxing knew what he meant, so he didn't say anything polite.

The two have worked together so many times. Although this matter is urgent, both of them have rich surgical experience. Therefore, for them, it is only a matter of time, and the little guy's life can definitely be saved.

But during the operation, both of them were not in a good mood, mainly because the little orange was injured too badly, which made people feel unhappy.

After the operation, it was past ten o'clock again. The two looked up at the time at the same time: "Alas, I didn't expect to have another late shift. This little guy has to stay with us. I guess the little girl is still studying. Have you told her about the fee?" Yang Pei asked.

"No, let's see what she says later. If not, we will take it as a stray cat..." Lu Jingxing frowned slightly.

"I was thinking, we haven't held an event for a long time. There are at least hundreds of cats in the yard. Although we have been adopting them, not many have been adopted out. Ji Ling can take a holiday. Otherwise, why don't we hold an event to see if there are any on-site adoptions..." Yang Pei said while packing up the tools.

"It's not impossible, but if we want to do it, we have to do it on a larger scale, introduce more manufacturers, invite more peers to come, this needs to be considered in the long run..." Lu Jingxing nodded in agreement.

"Yes, this is a way, invite all those cat food companies to make a bigger splash, but then again, the small number of adoptions here may also be related to our adoption mechanism..." Yang Pei smiled and said.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Lu Jingxing looked at him.

"Don't you think our adoption procedures are too complicated? And it's too tight, so there are very few adoptions." Yang Pei said.

"But this is what we have learned through practice. When the procedures were not strict before, many cats found owners who were not reliable, so even if they were not adopted out, it would be better. After being adopted out, they will suffer again." Lu Jingxing felt for the first time that he did not agree with Yang Pei's concept.

"That's true. Maybe I'm overthinking things. I saw some pet shops saying they offer adoption services. You just walk over and register your identity information and the pets will be adopted. I thought about what we posted outside. Many people who want to adopt pets just shook their heads and backed off after seeing it." Yang Pei laughed at herself.

"Haha, it's okay. Those who really want to adopt pets won't be afraid of trouble. We don't charge money. We just ask them to provide information. If they find this troublesome, then I think they won't necessarily take good care of the little guys after adopting them. After all, they need to take care of them every day after they go back. Cats are fine. As long as they have food and time to spend with them, it's fine. If they adopt dogs, they have to run outside every day. If they are not strict, I'm afraid they will stray again..." Lu Jingxing explained.

"That's true. I was thinking about it. What you said makes sense..." Yang Pei said that she was convinced.

"It seems to be waking up..." Lu Jingxing looked at the little orange that moved a little on the operating table and said.

"Xiao Juju, are you awake?" Yang Pei bent down: "It should take a while, I'll clean up here, you go ask the little girl what she plans to do, it's so late, I don't know if she's gone."

"Okay..." Lu Jingxing took off his gloves, threw them into the trash can, and walked out of the operating room.

When he walked out of the door, he saw that the girl was sitting on a lounge chair in the corridor, squinting, she was holding Jia Ziyin in her hands, the little guy was lying on her chest gently, squinting his eyes, and seemed to be asleep.

Hearing the sound of Lu Jingxing opening the door, Jia Ziyin woke up immediately, raised his head, looked at him with a pair of round eyes, and then looked at the girl holding him, as if he was afraid of waking the girl up, but only for a moment He meowed softly for half of the sound, and the remaining half of the sound was stuck in his throat.

Lu Jingxing smiled slightly, walked over, and patted the girl's shoulder gently.

The girl woke up immediately and unconsciously let go of her hand.

He immediately stood up and looked at Lu Jingxing.

Jia Ziyin probably didn't expect her to let go, so he jumped onto the stool and let out a somewhat aggrieved cry.

Lu Jingxing stretched out his hand to pick it up, stroked it, and then said to the girl: "The operation has been completed, and it still needs to wake up and take anesthesia before it can come out..." He looked up at the time: "It's almost eleven o'clock now , otherwise, you go back first?”

"Its front legs?" The girl looked at him expectantly.

Lu Jingxing shook his head helplessly: "If you don't keep it, it was already necrotic when you came here. If you keep it, it will just be a necrotic tissue. There is no point in keeping it..."

The girl lowered her head in depression, then raised it again: "Is life okay?"

"Don't worry, everything else will be fine. It will live a long life..." Lu Jingxing smiled softly.

When the girl heard what he said, she felt a little better and glanced towards the operating room: "I really should go back. My mother has called me several times..."

"Okay, you go back. I know that you won't feel at ease until the operation is completed. So, I will wait until the operation is completed before informing you." Lu Jingxing smiled slightly again.

"What about the fee?" The girl asked herself.

"What do you want to do with it in the future?" Lu Jingxing asked.

The girl shook her head and said at a loss: "I haven't thought about it yet..."

"You are still a student..."

The girl nodded: "I am in the second grade of junior high school now."

"It will have no forelimbs from now on, and it will never be able to live like a normal cat for the rest of its life. Over time, it may get used to it, but it will never be able to live a normal life. If you want to raise it, you must think carefully about it. Well, you should go back and discuss it with your parents first to see if your parents are willing to adopt it..." Lu Jingxing pointed out Xiao Ju's current problem directly.

"Okay, if I don't adopt it, will it still go wandering?" the girl asked again.

Lu Jingxing smiled and shook his head: "No, our backyard is full of stray cats. It's a bit late today. Come and take a look someday during the day. There are many like Xiao Ju there who have been seriously injured. Although they are not alive now, They are as happy as domesticated cats, but I think they are much better than stray cats. We have dedicated personnel to take care of them.”

"Oh, I know, that brother told me just now. He also said that Jia Ziyin usually trains those stray cats there. Jia Ziyin is so good, and he can comfort me..." The girl heard what Lu Jingxing said. After a while, his emotions rose, and he reached out to touch the clip in Lu Jingxing's arms.

"Well, let's go back. Do you live far away? Do you need me to call you a car?" It was really late now, and he was a little worried about letting a girl go back like this.

"No, no, I live on this street. It's only a ten-minute walk away. Can I come see Xiao Ju tomorrow?" The girl waved her hands.

"No problem, you can come anytime tomorrow. It will be in the observation room then..." Probably at the beginning, the girl cried too sadly. Lu Jingxing comforted her and seemed particularly patient. He pointed at the baby. View room told the girl.

"Okay, thank you doctor, brother, I'll come back tomorrow..." After saying that, she looked at the operating room again and saw that the door of the operating room was still closed. She also knew that Xiaoju hadn't woken up from the anesthesia yet, and it was indeed quite late. , she stopped worrying and walked out directly.

Lu Jingxing then turned back to the operating room.

"I didn't tell her about the cost. She said she was still in the second year of junior high school and she probably couldn't pay for the surgery, so I didn't tell her." Lu Jingxing said to Yang Pei, who had his back to the door.

Yang Pei turned around and looked at Jia Ziyin in his arms: "Ah, Jia Ziyin is here, come on, give your brother a hug..." As he said that, he reached out and took Jia Ziyin over.

The little guy didn't resist at all, and was just caught by Yang Pei.

"I knew you wouldn't say, okay, this matter is not up to me. It has already woken up. I will send it to the observation room..." Yang Pei took two breaths of the clip and handed it back. Lu Jingxing.

"Let's go, let's go together..." Lu Jingxing closed the door and sent Xiao Ju to the observation room. After telling the staff on duty about Xiao Ju's situation, the two of them walked out of the hospital together.

When they reached the street corner, Yang Pei smiled and said, "Let's go back after eating something. I'm a little hungry..."

Lu Jingxing smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'm fine, but I can eat something with you."

The two walked into a noodle shop together.

Not wanting to eat too complicated, we ordered a bowl of beef noodles for each of us.

Seeing the noodles, Lu Jingxing smiled and said to Yang Pei, "I didn't expect that Lao Xi's noodles are so delicious. They're really as good as restaurants."

"That guy seems to be really versatile. Are you still single now?" Yang Pei laughed.

"Haha, I really didn't ask this time, but looking at him like that, he must be single..." Lu Jingxing laughed.

After returning home, Lu Jingxing lay facing the bed and didn't want to move.

Ji Ling didn't wait for his message and couldn't help but play the video for him.

Seeing that it was Ji Ling's video, Lu Jingxing picked it up with a smile: "Sorry, sorry, I've been busy since I got back to the store. When I was about to get off work, I also received a little orange that was abused. Then I just came back from surgery..." He lay on the bed, looking at the little face in the camera and said with a smile.

"I knew you would be busy when you came back. By the way, May Day is coming soon. Do you think I should go back?" Ji Ling looked at Lu Jingxing's haggard face and felt a little distressed.

"Of course I will go back. Others who live in different places don't see each other every weekend, but at least once a month. We can only see each other during the long holidays. Why don't you go back? What's wrong, don't you miss me?" Lu Jingxing jumped up and sat up, crossed his legs, held the phone in front of him, and said with a look of displeasure.

"I miss you, of course, otherwise I would still be thinking about your call so late, but you..." Ji Ling said a little aggrievedly. Lu Jingxing was indeed busy these days. Ji Ling knew him, but he still felt a little aggrieved at this time.

"Oh, my baby, you are unhappy. I'm sorry. I know I haven't contacted you much in the past two days. It's my fault. Otherwise, I will pick you up on May Day." Lu Jingxing said with a guilty conscience.

"No need. It's not necessary to drive so far. If you want me to come back, I will book the ticket earlier..." Ji Ling said with a smile. She was not unreasonable, but the two of them had been separated for too long. Sometimes when she was in a bad mood, he was not around, and she always felt a little regretful.

"You are so good. Today Yang was still asking when you will come back..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile. Seeing Ji Ling, he felt that all the fatigue of the day was gone.

"He asked me?" Ji Ling said with some surprise.

"Well, he suggested that I hold an event on May Day. There are too many cats in the store. Let's see if we can hold an event to adopt some out. But, I don't really want to do it on May Day. You finally come back for a few days. I don't want to fight every time you come back. I want you to have a good rest." Lu Jingxing told the truth.

"Sure, I think it can be done. For me, working in the store is a break, because I can be with the little ones, I can be with you, I don't feel tired..." Ji Ling said with a smile.

"No hurry, I'll think about it carefully. If we really do it, I guess we have to send invitations to those suppliers in advance. If we don't make a big splash, it won't work..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.
