Start at the pet store

"That's true. Let me help you think of a plan these days. I don't have much to do these days. By the way, what are the arrangements for Xi Wenxin? The store is definitely open..."

"I'm sure, but I guess if it really opens, it won't be until your summer vacation..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"That's not good, I can go there with you then..." Ji Ling said happily.

"That's true. I'm worried that I'll be alone when the time comes. I'll think about it. I'll discuss it with Lao Xi and put the opening in the summer vacation. The original plan was around that time, so sooner or later. It's only a matter of a few days..." Lu Jingxing also wanted to go there with Ji Ling.

"Then it's such a happy decision. You should go to bed early. I've also gone to bed. You can't even open your eyes." Ji Ling said distressedly.

Lu Jingxing chuckled: "That's not it. I feel energetic when I hear your voice. However, it's really a bit late tonight. Good night. Come on, give me a kiss..."

He gently approached the microphone and made a "pop" sound.

Ji Ling on the other end blushed. She was still not used to Lu Jingxing being so affectionate, even though they were thousands of miles apart.

Lu Jingxing looked at her red apple-like face and couldn't help but laugh happily.

Both hung up the phone happily.

Lu Jingxing just got up and went to wash up.

He was afraid that if he didn't get up, he would actually fall asleep.

The next day, he was woken up by the alarm clock at just the right time.

Entering the store with a bright face.

"Xiao Lu is here..." As soon as he entered the door, Lu Jingxing saw a familiar face, smiling at him with a full face.

"Grandpa Ouyang, why are you here so early in the morning..." Lu Jingxing was a little surprised, but he was really happy to see that the uncle was in good health.

The person who came was none other than Uncle Ouyang, who almost had a stroke some time ago and entrusted the stray cats at home to him.

Lu Jingxing looked back and looked outside. He didn't see his son coming with him, and felt a little surprised. The last time he came here, his son came with him, and he wasn't very neat at that time.

He quickly walked over and held the old man's wrist: "Come, come and sit in my office..."

The old man's face is quite good, and he looks better than when we first met him. It seems that he has had a good rest these days.

"Haha, okay, I won't disturb you, right?" The old man laughed and followed Lu Jingxing politely and left.

"No, am I okay now? Why are you here alone? Give me a call and I will pick you up." Lu Jingxing felt a little ashamed. He was really busy these days and didn't even think of going to see him. It’s up to the old man.

The old man waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I just came back from BJ. My daughter took me to live with me for a few months. I came to see you as soon as I came back. I know you are busy, young man, please be busy." Okay, you just have to take care of yourself..."

"Thank you for your concern, grandpa. I'm fine. Look, am I a little fatter..." Lu Jingxing didn't have grandparents since he was a child. Therefore, after dealing with Mr. Ouyang several times, he felt that he was very nice and special. She is friendly and speaks more relaxedly.

"Let's see..." The old man really looked at him seriously: "No, he's not fat, not at all. He's quite healthy, and his face is rosy, not bad... Haha... "

"Haha, grandpa, you are too joking. I am a man, how can I be so fair and rosy, haha..." Lu Jingxing was amused by the old man and burst into laughter.

He poured a glass of water for the old man, helped the old man sit down on the sofa, and then put on his work clothes: "I didn't hear that you were going to BJ. It's my fault. I haven't seen you for a long time."

"I wasn't prepared. My daughter suddenly came back to pick her up. I wanted to tell you but she didn't even come. I just missed my things..." The old man looked at him with a smile.

"The little guys are fine..." He looked up at the clock on the wall and said, "My surgery will be in an hour. How about I accompany you to the cattery to see them?" Lu Jingxing looked at the old man.

"Can you do it? It won't delay your work, right? If not, I can just go and see for myself. I just don't know if I can recognize them, and I don't know if they recognize me..." the old man said a little aggrievedly.

"It's okay, don't delay, let's go, I'll accompany you. Some of them have found new owners and have been adopted. However, don't worry, the owners we find will love them well. We have Regular return visits, you can rest assured, and I also check the rest regularly, they are all very good..." Lu Jingxing knew that most of the little ones had been adopted, and the old man had said that he could help them find adopters. People can be adopted.

"Well, of course it would be best to find a new owner. I'm relieved. I just don't know if they were disobedient or something when they were adopted. It would be bad if the owner didn't like it..." The old man was gently taken away by Lu Jingxing. stood up.

"Don't worry, they are very well-behaved to begin with. How could they be bad after you raised them? And we all have return visits and the feedback is very good. This is because you have trained them well..." Lu Jingxing is a good person in the old man's heart. He's a good kid and speaks nicely.

What he said made the old man laugh happily again: "You baby, you are so good at talking..." He turned back to look at Lu Jingxing beside him, and then nodded almost inaudibly, feeling more and more good about this baby.

Lu Jingxing didn't know what the old man was thinking, so he whispered to him about the situation of the little ones along the way.

The two soon arrived at the cattery.

Usually, the cattery is the last place Lu Jingxing comes to. He rarely comes so early, and he hasn't been in the store these days.

What's more, he was bringing someone with him. The employees were taking out cat litter at the moment. When they saw the two people coming in, they all stood up and looked at them in surprise: "Brother Lu, morning...Grandpa, morning..." First. The one who said hello was Xiao Xin, Xiao Xin, Xiao Sun's already established girlfriend, she shouted sweetly.

Lu Jingxing waved to everyone as a greeting: "Morning, you go about your business. I'll bring the old man to see the cats he originally sent."

"Good morning, good morning, you have worked hard..." When the old man saw everyone looking at them, he smiled and waved.

The employees wore masks, work clothes and aprons. It was almost impossible to tell who was who, but the old man could tell. Lu Jingxing's store was full of young people, and they were all quite diligent. He could see that, Lu Jingxing is the boss. Even if he is not the boss, he is still a leader. Otherwise, these people would not all come to say hello to him. He nodded with satisfaction.

Lu Jingxing didn't think there was any problem. After everyone said hello, they went about their own business.

"Old man, come, let me take you over there. The little ones are basically in the play area at the back. There will be sunshine over there and it won't be too hot." Although there were many cats walking around in the yard at this time, Lu Jingxing knew that the cats that the old man brought back were all in the backyard, the same place where Xiao Zuanfeng and his brothers played last time.

Thinking of Xiao Zuanfeng, he felt secretly in his heart. The thing he promised the little guy last time was not fully fulfilled, which has always been a regret in his heart.

However, all he can do is take good care of his little brother. It seems that he can't do anything else because his mother is already gone.

The old man coughed slightly, bringing his thoughts back: "Oh, there is such a big yard in this backyard. Hey, is that the little flower in my house? She feels much older..." The old man When I saw the backyard, I was surprised at first, and then I saw a familiar figure. I shouted happily: "Little Hua Xiaohua..."

Lu Jingxing smiled slightly, that was his old man's little flower, but it was indeed bigger and fatter than before.

Xiaohua is a gray-white-yellow flower with a group of darker gray and almost black fur near its eyes, so its features are particularly obvious. When he heard the old man's shout, the little guy was obviously startled.

"Hai Dian, come here..." Lu Jingxing called out the new name he had given the little guy since he came to the park.

After Hui Dot was stunned for a moment, he realized what was happening. He immediately raised his tail and ran towards the two of them quickly.

"It's a little flower, it's true. What do you call it, gray dots?" The old man looked back at Lu Jingxing with a smile.

Lu Jingxing rubbed the back of his head: "You were sick at the time, so I don't know what you originally named them. We later named them all..."

"Gray dot, gray dot, not bad, it sounds nice. I originally chose simple names. Those with flowers are called Xiaohua, Xiaoxiaohua, Xiaoerhua... Haha..." The old man laughed and said, this time of his own He said that he seemed to think that he chose the name a little hastily.

Lu Jingxing also laughed when he heard the old man's hearty laughter.

Seeing the gray dot approaching, the old man squatted down, and the little guy rubbed directly against the old man's hand, meowing non-stop.

"Hai Dian, do you remember grandpa? Do you miss grandpa? Huh?" The old man picked up Hui Dian and frowned slightly: "You can't do this. You can't get fat anymore. If you get fatter, you have to lose weight..."

Gray Dot kept licking Grandpa back, and Lu Jingxing also saw happiness on its face. It remembered the old man.

"Look, it still remembers you, it doesn't even look for me, it just looks for you to hug..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"Haha, that's right, he is a little conscientious..." The old man laughed again.

"Second Fatty, come here..." Lu Jingxing waved to the other cat. The two of them made a little noise. After seeing the old man, a dozen other cats slowly gathered around.

"Grandpa, look, they all remember you and are here..." Lu Jingxing said.

He was now standing face to face with the old man, and there were many cats around his feet. Looking at the old man, there were already about a dozen cats surrounding him. They were all meowing non-stop, either using their tails to hook him or using their bodies. Go rub his feet and then look up at him.

The old man had laughed heartily just now, but now he slowly squatted down with excitement.

"Be good, be good, grandpa came to see you. You are all fine. Grandpa is relieved..." He touched this one and stroked that one, his eyes gradually getting misty.

Lu Jingxing didn't say anything. He gently picked up Xiao Zhuanfeng, who was following him, and stood silently beside him to accompany the old man.

Xiao Zhuanfeng also looked at his friends on the ground silently. It seemed to sense Lu Jingxing's emotions, and gently pulled its soft paws on Lu Jingxing's face, looking at him with round eyes.

When it saw grandpa's excitement, it thought he was sad. Then it thought Lu Jingxing was also sad. It didn't know how to comfort him, so it silently just wanted to accompany him.

Lu Jingxing looked down at it, smiled softly and shook his head: "I'm fine, and grandpa is fine too. It's just that seeing your little friends is fine, he's happy, and I'm happy too..."

"Miaomiao...are you really okay?" Xiao Zhuanfeng was a little unsure.

"Really, grandpa is happy. The friends still know him. He is happy. I am happy to see you. Is Xiao Zuanfeng happy?" Lu Jingxing gently touched Xiao Zuanfeng's ears with his nose.

The little guy enjoyed this feeling, but his ears were still a little itchy. He shook his head gently.

Lu Jingxing deliberately teased him: "Why, is Xiao Zuanfeng unhappy?"

"Meow, Xiao Zuanfeng is happy, brother is happy, I am happy..." He stretched out his front paws to touch Lu Jingxing again, and then his fleshy paws touched his nose: "Itchy..."

"Haha..." Lu Jingxing laughed.

The old man had also calmed down, but there were more and more cats around the old man, but the little guys didn't fight for it.

"Meow... let me, I want to kiss grandpa..." The smallest little guy with a little limp in the back couldn't get in from outside, and he was very anxious.

"Meow... Come on, go slowly, don't rush, I'll let you..." A big orange cat, more than twice the size of Little Pojiao, whispered.

"Meow... Meow... Everyone, make way, let this kid go in to see grandpa..." The big orange cat's voice was a little louder, and when it shouted, several cats turned around, and then consciously let Little Pojiao move forward.

Lu Jingxing also walked over: "Grandpa, do you still remember it?"

The old man looked up at the little thing in front of him when Lu Jingxing called him: "Who is it? Is it Xiao Erhua's child?"

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, it was taken away by Xiao Erhua at that time. Later, when you were in the hospital, didn't we go to pick them up? Xiao Erhua just happened to bring it back, so we brought the mother and daughter back together. However, its leg should have been injured by a wild animal at that time. It was a bit seriously injured when it came back. After it was rescued, its leg was not completely healed..."

"Oh, this little guy, I only took care of it a few times at that time. Poor little guy, it suffered a lot. It's all because of grandpa's poor health at that time..." The old grandfather picked up the little guy.

The little guy obviously didn't spend much time with grandpa, but he seemed to be very close to grandpa, and kept meowing in grandpa's arms.
