Start at the pet store

"No, no..." Lu Chen looked at his brother with a guilty conscience.

"You haven't told the truth yet." Lu Jingxing's expression darkened.

"Brother, I know that he failed the Chinese language test this time..." Lu Xi said, looking at his brother's unhappy face.

Lu Jingxing was slightly relieved when he heard that it was just because he failed the exam and that he had not made any big mistakes. But he still pretended to be angry and said: "Show me the test paper later. It seems that you are not paying attention right now?"

Lu Chen secretly glanced at his brother and muttered in a low voice: "I know." He glanced at Lu Xi again.

Lu Xi stuck out her tongue and made a face at him.

Ji Ling touched Lu Jingxing and winked at him.

He came to his aunt's house for dinner. Lu Jingxing didn't want to make everyone unhappy, so he said nothing more.

Ji Ling quickly said: "Where's the baby? I haven't seen it for so long. Has he grown up?"

He said and walked in together.

When Xiaobao saw his brothers and sisters coming, he kicked his legs happily and blew bubbles.

"Ah, Xiaobao has grown up again and is becoming more and more beautiful..." Ji Ling said loudly and exaggeratedly.

"Sister Lingling, Xiaobao is a boy. The teacher said you can't call boys beautiful, but handsome!" Lu Xi said to Ji Ling seriously.

"Oh oh oh, it's Xiaobao who is getting more and more handsome. Our Xixi is so good, she knows how to correct her sister's mistakes." Ji Ling said with a smile, then picked her up and sat in the cradle and said "Ah oh oh" Xiaobao was holding her hand and waving her hand.

"Hahahaha..." My uncle burst out laughing when he heard what they said, and walked out and touched Xixi's head: "My brother is still so young, so it's okay to be pretty, haha..."

"Hahahaha..." Everyone in the room laughed.

Lu Xi was the only one who was confused. Although she also felt that her brother was indeed very beautiful now, the teacher said that boys generally do not need to be described as beautiful. Am I wrong?

Lu Jingxing smiled and shook his head. He was afraid that he would have to discuss this issue with his sister later and let her clear up her confusion.

"Come on, come on, dinner is ready..." My aunt brought out the last steamed egg. The bowl was so hot that she put it down and pinched her ears hurriedly.

Lu Chen looked at his aunt's movements and asked doubtfully: "Auntie, why do you touch your ears when you burn your hands? I see you put down the very hot bowl and touch your ears every time. I have tried it too, but it doesn't work like this. It doesn’t seem to relieve fever.”

"Well, it's well-founded. Think about it, are ears most susceptible to freezing in winter? It's because the earlobes have the fewest capillaries, and the low blood flow causes the earlobes to have the lowest temperature. Touching the earlobes after you've done the ironing It will make your hands feel less hot." Ji Ling explained to Lu Chen with a smile.

"Really? Then why can't I feel anything when I touch my ears after I put my rice bowl in my hand?" Lu Chen had a million reasons.

"That's because the rice bowl you are holding is not hot enough. Come on." Ji Ling put Xiaobao into the cradle: "Try to touch this bowl. Then touch your earlobe."

Ji Ling put one of Lu Chen's little hands on the edge of the bowl and let him feel it for himself. Lu Chen immediately retracted his hand and touched his earlobe: "Yeah, it's true." He looked surprised.

"I want to try too, I want to try too." Lu Xi ran to Ji Ling's side.

"Okay, you can try it too, but you can only touch it lightly. This one is still very hot." Ji Ling grabbed Lu Xi's little hand and touched it lightly. Lu Xi also imitated her brother's example and touched her own right away. Earlobe, then laughed: "It's really not hot anymore."

Lu Jingxing also smiled when he saw it.

The whole family sat down with a smile.

"Your new store is opening tomorrow, should we go over and set off two firecrackers?" My uncle picked up a crab and put it in my aunt's bowl and looked at Lu Jingxing.

"Forget about the firecrackers. We haven't prepared any plans. Now the new store has no place to stay because of the batch of rescued cats. At that time, we wanted to hold a big event just to make a name for ourselves. Now that we have this matter, there is no need. If we do it again, we will just make an arch as a formality." Lu Jingxing made a move and swallowed the food in his mouth.

"Besides, we're not allowed to set off firecrackers now, right?" My aunt peeled the crab and gave the crab roe to Xiao Xi: "Let's go there early and send a pair of flower baskets."

Lu Jingxing wanted to say something else, but after thinking about it, he realized that this was the wish of his aunt and uncle. It didn't seem good to keep refuting it, so he nodded: "Thank you, uncle and aunt."

"What kind words can you say to me as a family? We are happy to see you are so capable now. If my sister is still here..." My aunt's eyes turned red as she held the crab leg.

"Look, you're fine, why are you crying? Come on, let's have a drink and wish Jingxing's career will become more and more prosperous..." My uncle broke the deadlock with a smile.

When Lu Chen and Lu Xi saw their uncle raising their glasses, they immediately raised the Coke glasses in their hands: "Cheers, I wish my brother's career will become more and more prosperous... Cheers"

"Cheers...cheers..." My aunt casually touched her eyes with the back of her hand and raised the cup with a smile.

Later, everyone tacitly changed the topic and finished the meal in a lively manner.

After dinner, Ji Ling insisted on helping her aunt clean up the kitchen before leaving. The aunt couldn't resist her, so she agreed with a smile. The two of them talked intimately, laughed and finished cleaning up the kitchen. The aunt and uncle held Xiaobao in their arms. They sent several people out of the community together.

On the way back, Lu Jingxing took Ji Ling's hand, and Ji Ling let him hold it. The two didn't speak for a long time, listening to Lu Xi and Lu Chen chattering about what happened in school, and slowly walked home with a smile.

When she arrived at the door of her house, Ji Ling smiled and said, "How about I go stay in a hotel."

Lu Jingxing smiled and looked at her: "Why, did you make a lot of money?"

Ji Ling blushed: "No, I'm afraid it's inconvenient."

"What's inconvenient? Your room is not moved. You should just live in your own room." Lu Jingxing raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Sister Lingzi, just live with us. You haven't told us stories for a long time." Lu Xi shook Ji Ling's arm.

Lu Chen also came over, looking like a little adult: "Sister Lingzi, I always clean your room when I clean. Your room is still very clean."

Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling both laughed: "Oh, our little Chenchen is good. He even knows how to clean."

Lu Chen looked down on someone and tilted his head, causing Ji Ling to laugh.

Lu Xi took the opportunity to shake Ji Ling's arm again. Ji Ling glanced at Lu Jingxing and said, "Okay then." Anyway, it's only a few days each time you come back. It's not like you haven't lived here before. It would be hypocritical to say too much.

Lu Xi cheered: "Yeah!" and pulled Ji Ling upstairs.

Lu Jingxing took the time to call the advertising company and asked them to put up the arch tomorrow morning.

After Lu Chen and Lu Xi fell asleep in the evening, the two sat on the sofa and talked for a while, and then went to bed early, because they still had a busy day tomorrow.

Before going to bed yesterday, Ji Ling glanced at the files of the cats that Liao Xiangyu gave her today. She had to give them the adoption tomorrow, and she had to get a general understanding of the cats.

The next day was the National Day holiday, and many new stores opened in the commercial street, so the commercial street became lively very early.

Lu Jingxing didn't want to take Lu Chen and Lu Xi to the store, but the nanny said that she had something to do today, and Lu Chen and Lu Xi also promised not to make trouble. Later, the aunt called and said that she would take Lu Chen and Lu Xi home when they arrived at the store, so he took Lu Chen and Lu Xi to the store early in the morning.

The employees also came to the store early.

The coupon distribution activity that was scheduled earlier was still going on as usual. Unexpectedly, there were quite a lot of people coming to get the coupons. A lot of people were taken out in the morning.

Ji Ling went straight to the backyard when she arrived at the store. Today is the 11th, and people who came to adopt came early in the morning waiting for the store to open.

The first person to be received was a young couple.

Their target was very clear, that is, the mix called "Mian Bing" by the volunteers, a mix of a Persian and an unknown cat. You can still tell from the face that one of them is definitely a Persian cat, because the face is very flat, like a pancake, so some volunteers named it "Mian Bing".

"We have seen it in the video a long time ago, look at this." The woman has a good figure, curvy, wearing a green cheongsam, with delicate hair and makeup, but she speaks very hotly.

She said and showed Ji Ling the photo on her mobile phone.

In the photo, she is also in the same style today, with a happy smile on her face, holding a cat that looks very similar to "Mian Bing". The only difference from "Mian Bing" is that it has heterochromatic eyes.

The man was wearing a rather fashionable Zhongshan suit, but not the kind of Zhongshan suit that looked very mature. Ji Ling flipped through the photos and found that the man was wearing the same suit in the photo of the two of them.

The man looked at Ji Ling and glanced at him, and immediately said, "We wore this suit specially today. The one in the photo was given to her by her grandmother. It had been with her for more than ten years and died last year. So when we saw this one, we thought it was back. We flew from SH yesterday and came here early this morning just for it. I hope you can help us."

The man looked like he was about 25 years old. He spoke very sincerely, and his eyes looked at the woman from time to time when he spoke, full of tolerance.

The woman also looked at him quietly when he spoke. She didn't have the fierceness when she spoke herself. The way she stood there looked very suitable for the cheongsam.

"Mian Bing" had been sterilized. Ji Ling carefully checked its various indicators and found that they were normal, so it could be adopted.

She took "Mian Bing" out of the cage, and the woman hurried forward, trying to take it.

"Mian Bing" was a little shy, and usually when someone approached, it would naturally disguise itself, with its ears erect and its fur standing up.

But when the woman reached out, it actually took the initiative to lean its head over.

Liao Xiangyu, who had heard the noise a long time ago, came over and was a little surprised by "Mian Bing's" actions, but he quickly regained his composure. This is the kind of insignificant tacit understanding between many cats and their owners. Some people have some kind of wonderful fate with a small animal, just like "Mian Bing".

Ji Ling worked overtime last night and read the information Liao Xiangyu gave her. She had a good memory and knew that "Mian Bing" was not very friendly, so she was a little surprised to see "Mian Bing's" actions, but she had been dealing with cats for a long time, so she behaved more normally.
