After entering the door, the man looked around the store. "Do you have …"
Before he finished speaking, the Samoyed rushed over excitedly and circled around the legs of the new customer. It stuck out its tongue and tried its best to act cute. Even Zhang Zian was speechless at its self-depravity.
The fat boy stopped crying and stared at the Samoyed attentively.
The man pointed to the Samoyed and asked his son, "What do you think of this dog?"
The fat boy did not speak. He just squatted down and reached out to the Samoyed. The Samoyed immediately put its two front paws on it.
The chubby kid broke out into a smile and stroked his neck with his other hand. "Good dog! Good dog! "
"Alas!" The man sighed heavily and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He took one out and put it in his mouth, then handed it to Zhang Zian. "Brother, do you want a cigarette?"
"No need," Zhang Zian declined. He had not yet figured out what was going on. He heard that there was some kind of ecstasy smoke that could confuse a person. What if a handsome guy like him was robbed of money and sex?
Without waiting for Zhang Zian to ask, the man automatically began to talk.
"This child has been spending every summer vacation in his hometown in the countryside. Today, an old yellow dog in his hometown died."
"Oh." Zhang Zian understood. No wonder the child was so sad.
"The child's mother and I are busy with work. During the summer vacation, we send him back to his hometown and let his grandfather take care of him. His classmates are in the city, and there is no computer in his hometown. He can only play with the big yellow dog. They run all over the mountains and don't even do summer vacation homework. Every time school starts, he cries and makes a fuss when he returns to the city. Alas, the dog is really too old. He only has a few teeth left. Last year, he couldn't keep up with him. I should have thought of it earlier. This year … "The man did not continue.
After a while, he said, "At least he made it through the summer vacation. Today, a relative from my hometown came to our house. I was not at home. My son asked how the big yellow dog was, and the relative said that the second day after he left the hometown … "
Zhang Zian also sighed. He thought of his parents. It was so hard to be separated by life and death. In the blink of an eye, they were separated by life and death. 'The child must be regretting that he didn't stay for another day and didn't accompany the big yellow dog for the last part of the journey.' However, Big Yellow must have tried his best to hold on to his last breath so that the little mistress wouldn't see the moment he breathed his last.
The man patted his son's head affectionately. "This kid cried the whole day today. Even his relatives felt guilty. I didn't get home before I left. I said I would buy him another one."
A picture appeared in front of Zhang Zian's eyes. In the suburbs under the scorching sun, amidst the deafening sound of cicadas, a fat boy wearing a vest and shorts and a loyal big yellow dog played with each other. They ran up the hill against the wind, stepped on the slippery cobblestones, waded through the river, caught dragonflies, caught grasshoppers, caught butterflies, caught fish and shrimp … When they were tired and hot from running, the big yellow dog would lie on the grass with its tongue out. The fat boy's head rested on the big yellow dog and kept wiping his sweat. That must have been a very, very happy day.
The tree trunk grew thicker day by day, the river froze and melted, the fat boy grew up year after year, and the big yellow dog grew older. Gradually, the big yellow dog couldn't catch up with the fat boy. Its eyes became cloudy, and its fur became sparse. Due to its reduced appetite, its body became very thin, but they still stuck together every day.
A lot of things had probably happened during the last summer vacation, and it had become a forever stagnant frame. The fat boy also had a hunch that something was going to happen, so when his relatives came, he asked about the big yellow dog's situation.
However, the big yellow dog certainly didn't leave with regrets. He wished it could go to heaven.
The man finished his cigarette, crushed the butt, and said, "Well, I won't disturb your business anymore. I want this dog. How much is it?"
"Three thousand," Zhang Zian said.
The man nodded. "It's a little expensive, but since the child likes it, I'll buy it for him no matter how much it costs. Consider it compensation for not being able to spend these summers with him. The two of us will raise this dog together. "
Zhang Zian patted the back of the Samoyed's neck. It turned its head and glanced at him indifferently. There was no sadness in its eyes that it was about to leave the pet shop, and it immediately turned its head to please its new owner.
Zhang Zian couldn't help but laugh in his heart. This snobbish stinky dog. Now that it has an owner, it throws me aside. I was just sympathizing with it!
Of the three pets sold, although the Samoyed was the last to be sold, it was probably the luckiest of them all. After experiencing a sad separation, the father and son would definitely spoil it. In the future, it only needed to be responsible for acting cute, which it was best at.
The fat boy and the Samoyed had already started playing. The man and Zhang Zian went to the cashier together to pay.
The man turned his head to look at the Samoyed and asked, "Boss, is there any problem with the dog's health? I don't want to buy it and within two days … "
Zhang Zian said, "Don't worry. This dog has just been vaccinated a while ago. This is an immunity certificate. " He handed the receipt, the immunity certificate, and the pet sale agreement to the man. "The agreement says that as long as it is within the validity period of the vaccine, if it gets an infectious disease, you can come back to me at any time. I will pay for it. After the expiration date, you need to be responsible for its health. "
The man nodded. Zhang Zian said, "I have a tutorial for beginners to raise a dog. I made it myself. If you need it, you can take a copy …"
The man waved his hand. "No, no, it's not our first time raising a dog."
"What about other things, such as dog food …" Zhang Zian did not give up any opportunities to make money.
"Not today. The mother may be anxious. Let's talk about it in two days." The man waved his hand. "Son, let's go! Let's go home for dinner! "
The fat boy picked up the Samoyed and followed the man. The Samoyed's head popped over the fat boy's shoulder, and it stared at Zhang Zian with its tongue out until they turned the corner.
Zhang Zian seemed to be infected by the sad mood. He stood at the door for a long time, watching the pedestrians coming and going. He couldn't tell what he was feeling.
"Okay! Finally, it's quiet! " He returned to the shop and looked at the empty display cabinets and cages. Only the little hamster had woken up from its daytime sleep and was ready to start its nightlife. When the three pets were still there, he was always worried about when he could sell them. Now that they were all sold, he felt a little reluctant.
An iron camp was like a flowing river of soldiers.
Since it was a pet shop, it had to sell pets and make a profit. Otherwise, it would have to close down.
The pet industry was a mixed bag. Every day, there were new shops opening, and every day, there were old shops closing down. The big fish ate the small fish, and bad money drove out good money.
Although the shop was quiet at this time, it would soon be lively again.
It definitely would.
