Because of the noise and dust caused by the renovation, Zhang Zian had been trying to persuade Little Celery to stay away from the shop for the past few days. This was the first time that she had seen the renovated shop. She immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Store Manager, it's so beautiful!"
Zhang Zian smiled, "More beautiful than before?"
"Much more beautiful! It's spacious and bright!" Little Celery raised her head and looked around, "I almost couldn't recognize it."
Zhang Zian knew that Little Celery wouldn't lie or flatter him. If she said it was beautiful, then she must really think it was beautiful.
"Oh, haven't your parents come back yet? They must be very happy to see you! "she asked casually.
Zhang Zian's face suddenly became gloomy.
The invisible Old Time Tea looked at him worriedly. It wanted to comfort him, but it was inconvenient to talk when it was invisible. If it talked, Little Celery and the others would think it was a ghost and would be scared.
Zhang Zian had never told Little Celery about his parents' death. He only told her that they were traveling around the world. So it was normal for Little Celery to ask this question. He didn't want to lie to Little Celery, but he knew that she had a good relationship with his parents. He was worried that she would be sad if he told her the truth. It wouldn't be too late to tell her when she grew up and could truly understand the concept of "death".
Little Celery noticed that his expression was strange. She asked confusedly, "Brother Store Manager, are you not feeling well?"
Zhang Zian forced a smile, sniffed and said, "Little Celery saw through me. To be honest, I have a cold these days. My nose is stuffy and I'm coughing."
Little Celery said eagerly, "Brother Store Manager, you can make brown sugar and ginger water. When I have a cold, my mom will make it for me. I will feel warm after drinking it, and the cold will be cured the next day!"
"Okay, thank you, Little Celery." Zhang Zian agreed with a smile. He remembered that when he had a cold when he was a child, his mother did make brown sugar and ginger water for him. It seemed that the old method worked. Maybe he would make some today to cure his cold as soon as possible.
It was the first time that Xiao Qing and Chuan Chuan came to the pet shop. They were stunned to see the kittens and the dogs in the display cabinets.
Yi Le and the other three boys stood at the door, trembling with fear, looking into the store and pushing each other to let the others go in first. The scene of Little Shitou floating in the air had left a deep impression on them, so they couldn't help but be suspicious.
At last, Yi Le, the gang leader, plucked up his courage and walked in first. He looked around and snorted, "Humph! It's nothing! "
He turned around and called out to his three followers, "Come on in!"
However, the three of them turned pale as if they had seen a ghost. They stared in front of Yi Le for half a second, then turned around and ran without saying a word!
Yi Le swallowed his saliva, turned around, and his heart trembled with fear.
A black and white kitten suddenly appeared in front of him. Yi Le swore that it wasn't here a moment ago, and there was no trace of it on the first floor of the pet shop. Where did it come from? Yi Le turned around and looked at Yi Le. The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it was!
Yi Le understood why the three idiots ran away. They must have seen how it appeared with their own eyes. If it were him, he would run away too!
Looking at the silver-gray eyes, Yi Le remembered that he had seen it before. Because the color of the eyes was too special, he didn't think much of it at that time, but it left a deep impression on him afterwards.
"What... what do you want?" He took two steps back and stared at it anxiously. He asked this question not because he thought the black and white kitten could speak, but because he was nervous and subconsciously asked it.
"Meow! Are you still not going to admit your mistake?" Xinghai suddenly "spoke".
The shop suddenly quieted down. Little Qing was running after the kittens, Chuanchuan was sticking her tongue out at the dogs in front of the display case, and Little Celery was telling Zhang Zian how to cure a cold. Everyone, including Yi Le, was looking at Xinghai.
Only Zhang Zian could see the invisible Richard standing next to Xinghai. It was Richard who said that sentence, and it perfectly imitated Xinghai's usual tone.
Xiao Qing and Chuan Chuan didn't believe that the pets in the pet shop could speak. When they saw the magical scene of Little Stone floating in the air at the door, they were skeptical. After entering the shop and seeing the cute kittens and puppies, they forgot about this matter. It wasn't until they heard the voice coming from the position of the black and white kitten that they couldn't help but believe it.
"It's true... The kitten spoke!" They covered their mouths in surprise, and their eyes were wide open.
Finally, Little Celery could hold her head high in front of her friends. Even her two pigtails looked very energetic. She said proudly, "I told you that the pets here can talk, but you didn't believe me! And not only this kitten, Xiao Ling and Ears can also talk... Oh, right, Xiao Ling is a hamster, and Ears is a lop-eared rabbit. They are both my good friends! I will introduce you to them later! "
In front of the truth, Xiao Qing and Chuan Chuan lowered their heads in shame, and sincerely apologized to Little Celery, "Little Celery, I'm sorry, it's our fault... We shouldn't have doubted you... Please forgive us..."
Little Celery generously held their hands. "It's okay, you don't have to apologize, as long as you believe me! Xiao Ling and Ears are my good friends, and you are also my good friends! We are all good friends! "
Zhang Zian walked to their side, bent down, and said, "We must care for each other, take care of each other, share good things together, help each other when we are in trouble, be considerate of our friends when they make mistakes, and help them correct their mistakes. That's how we are good friends, understand?"
They nodded in unison.
Old Time Tea, who was watching from the side, showed a kind smile. It gently stroked its white beard, and once again clearly felt the heart of benevolence.
Benevolence, benevolence, love.
Love yourself, but also love others. Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you. Further, love home, love the motherland, love the world, and from small love to big love.
If everyone was benevolent, why worry about the world of Great Harmony not coming sooner?
Obviously, it was just an interaction between an adult and a few children, but Old Time Tea was overwhelmed with emotions, and could not suppress the lofty sentiments in its chest!
"Oh, right." Zhang Zian winked at them. "Let me tell you a little secret. If the pets in my shop want to talk, they must meet two conditions."
"What conditions, Brother Store Manager?" Chuan Chuan also called Zhang Zian "Brother Store Manager" because she really liked the dogs here. If they could talk, she would beg her parents to buy one to accompany them.
It was also the first time that Little Celery heard that pets needed to meet two conditions before they could talk, and she looked forward to it with Xiao Qing.
Zhang Zian stretched out two fingers and said seriously, "First of all, pets can only talk in this shop. They can't take them out …"
Before they showed disappointment on their faces, he continued to say the second condition, "Second, pets can only talk in front of people they like, and they like good children who are caring, responsible, upright, and brave. That is to say, if one day you no longer have an innocent child's heart and become a bad adult, you will never be able to hear them speak."
