"It's so cold!"
Zhang Zian shivered as soon as he got up. He opened the curtains and looked outside. It was snowing for a whole day yesterday, and it looked like it was at least a moderate snow.
There was a strange phenomenon in the morning on a snowy day. The ground was brighter than the sky, giving people a strange feeling.
He put down the curtains and was lazy again. He thought that normal people would not come to the pet shop in this weather, so he could postpone the reopening for another two days. He could also let the shy Lu Yiyun familiarize herself with the situation in the pet shop.
As soon as he turned his head, his eyes met Xinghai's.
Xinghai stood on the crib, raised a front paw and waved at him, saying silently, "Meow! Zian, good morning!"
Zhang Zian smiled and waved back, also responding silently, "Good morning, Xinghai!"
After saying hello, Xinghai jumped down from the crib, trotted to the door, and used its two front paws to pull on the lightly closed door. It opened a narrow gap that allowed Xinghai to pass through, and crawled out of the narrow gap. It was probably going downstairs to see if any kittens had woken up so that it could play hide-and-seek with them.
Not having to eat, drink, and go to the bathroom was so convenient … Zhang Zian sighed. If only all the elfins were like this.
After sitting up for a while, Zhang Zian, who was only wearing a sweatshirt, felt goosebumps on his arms. Although he felt that he was a little closer to being invincible, he had not yet reached the level of being impervious to heat and cold as described in martial arts novels. Not to mention him, even Old Time Tea could not reach that level.
In order to avoid catching a cold, he wanted to pick up his coat from the pillow and put it on. When he reached out his hand, he found that the coat he folded before going to bed was inexplicably bulging, and it seemed to be wriggling …
Mouse?
As soon as he thought of this word, he felt sick. A mouse climbed into my bed?
No way?
This room was almost like a cat's nest. Which mouse was so daring that it could actually invade under the nose of Fina and Old Time Tea? Was it some kind of mouse elfin?
His right hand pulled out a foreign translation of Rare Pets Illustrated Handbook from the bedside table. This book was a hardcover edition, full of coated paper and colored pages. The cover and the back cover were thick and hard paper. The weight was very heavy and the price was very high. He bought it online from three different stores. Apart from being useful, this book also had the advantage of being able to be used as a brick. It was the best weapon for killing people and robbing them of their belongings.
Zhang Zian weighed it in his hand and felt very satisfied. This thing could not only kill a mouse, but also kill a person.
He raised the Rare Pet Illustrated Handbook high, stretched out his left hand to grab the corner of the coat, and suddenly pulled it to the side. Then he wanted to slap the book down, knock the damn mouse out on the spot, and then hold its tail to show off in front of Fina.
It wasn't a mouse under the coat, but Richard, who was sleeping soundly on his back. He was twitching his legs as he slept. His sleeping posture was extremely bad … But in terms of sleeping posture, Zhang Zian wasn't much better.
Fortunately, he stopped his right hand in time. Otherwise, he would have slapped the sh * t out of Richard!
When he thought of Richard's white bird droppings and how it hit his face yesterday, Zhang Zian felt even more disgusted. He put the book back on the bedside and continued to use it as a self-defense weapon. Then he threw the coat back on Richard. He was not going to wear this coat today. He would wash it together with his clothes.
Last night, before he went to sleep, he clearly remembered that Richard was squatting on the drying pole indoors. When did it get under his clothes in the middle of the night? Fortunately, it did not get under his quilt...
Most residences in Binhai City did not have heating, and Zhang Zian's pet shop was the same. When the weather was bad in winter, such as yesterday and today, the washed clothes would be dried next to the electric heater indoors. Richard often squatted on the drying pole and slept... It should be said that the style of birds sleeping should be like this. But obviously, this grey parrot was a weirdo. It could also lie on its back and sleep.
However, today's bedroom was indeed colder than usual, probably because it was snowing in the middle of the night.
The other elfins were still sleeping, but their sleep was not as deep as that of humans. Even the slight sound of Zhang Zian getting up and putting on clothes made their ears twitch.
Fina was lying on its princess bed, covered with a small blanket. There was a slight cool breeze blowing in through the gap of the door that Galaxy had opened, blowing the hanging gauze curtain up and down like the tide. When Zhang Zian got off the bed and passed by, it opened its eyes and then closed them again.
Snowy Lionet's fur was long, so it did not know what cold was. It curled up its body next to the princess bed, like a pure white plush pillow. But Zhang Zian did not dare to hug it, because it was absolutely suicidal.
Old Time Tea was sleeping on the electric blanket, and the heating was turned on to the maximum. It slept very peacefully, its breath long and deep.
The light and shadow in the bedroom shook a bit, and Famous woke up. Seeing that the sky was bright, it raised its paw to turn off the small night light. Zhang Zian gave it a thumbs up for its power-saving behavior. Famous ate almost as much as Fina and Snowy Lionet combined, and it also ate steak with red wine, which was medium well, which made Zhang Zian's heart ache every time he ate it.
After he got dressed and washed up, Famous went downstairs with him. He closed the bedroom door again to prevent the loss of heat in the bedroom, so that he could save some electricity bills.
The ventilation fan on the ceiling made a uniform buzzing sound. Most of the kittens and puppies downstairs had woken up, meowing and barking for food. With the increase in the number of pets in the shop, the ventilation fan now needed to be turned on 24 hours a day. Otherwise, it would be difficult to avoid the smell of feces.
Xinghai was chasing a few big kittens back and forth, having fun.
He walked to the door of the shop, opened the shutter door, and the cold wind with snowflakes blew in his face. He shivered again, quickly closed the glass door inside, and looked outside through the glass door.
Today was Monday, so people went to work, and people went to school. It was cold, the road was slippery, and the ground was covered with ice and snow. The cars on the road had their headlights on, and they drove very carefully.
Zhang Zian went back upstairs and put on another coat, gloves, and hat. He took out a big broom and shovel from the storage room, which he hadn't used for a long time, and went out to sweep the snow.
The cat litter and dog feces in the shop could wait for Wang Qian and Li Kun to come, so there was no hurry. However, the snow at the door had to be cleared. Otherwise, if passersby slipped, Zhang Zian would also be responsible as the shop owner.
The air outside was wet and cold, and it was still snowing. Zhang Zian exhaled a white breath, picked up the broom, and began to sweep the snow.
Swish … swish … swish …
With the contraction and stretching of his muscles, a lot of heat was generated, and his body slowly warmed up. He methodically pushed from the door to the street, and when he encountered ice that he couldn't sweep, he used the shovel until the snow and ice were temporarily cleared.
He took a breath, leaned on the shovel, and looked up at the sky. The dark clouds hung low in the sky, and there was no sign of the snow stopping. He estimated that he would continue to sweep the snow in a while.
Zhang Zian leaned the big broom against the door, and only planned to enter the shop with the shovel. At this moment, he heard a short honk from a car behind him.
Looking back, he saw Sun Xiaomeng's car slowly parked on the side of the road.
He stuck the shovel vertically into the snow, and trotted over to greet her.
Sun Xiaomeng rolled down the window, and handed him something from the passenger seat.
"The immunization certificate that you want," she said while exhaling white breath.
"Thank you so much! You've been a great help! " Zhang Zian took off his gloves, took it, and flipped through it. The immunization certificate had a full-body photo of Famous. Zhang Zian had sent it to Sun Xiaomeng, and she had printed it out and pasted it on the certificate.
Sun Xiaomeng was also wearing thick clothes today, and the air conditioner was on in the car, but the accumulated heat was quickly escaping from the window.
"What do you want this for? To get a dog raising certificate? "she stared at Zhang Zian and asked curiously.
"Yes." He folded the certificate and put it in his pocket. "Isn't it obvious?"
"No, I mean, I've never heard of a pet shop with a dog raising certificate … Isn't it unnecessary?" she asked, rubbing her hands. For the sake of driving safety, she didn't wear gloves.
Zhang Zian shrugged, "I have no choice. The dog business license is hung on the wall of the shop, and it's not convenient to carry it around with me. It's safer to get a dog raising certificate. What if they find me?"
"This German Shepherd is your new pet?" She raised her chin, indicating the photo of Famous on the health certificate.
"Yes, that's right! My friend moved away and didn't want to raise it anymore, so I brought it to my shop to raise it. "Zhang Zian was talking nonsense again, trying to fool her about Famous's origin.
She frowned and said, "Where did you get so many strange friends?"
"That's none of your business. Anyway, thank you. I owe you a favor, and I will pay it back in the future." Zhang Zian waved his hand, not letting her ask any more questions.
"A favor …" Sun Xiaomeng's eyes fell on the shovel he stuck in the snow, and then looked at the entrance of the shop that he had swept clean. "You don't have to pay it back in the future. You can pay it back today. I think you are good at sweeping snow, so you can help me sweep the snow in front of my clinic. "
Zhang Zian sighed helplessly, "Okay, I will go in a while. Anyway, there probably won't be any customers today."
"Then hurry up, don't waste time. I have to go now. I have an appointment today. "Sun Xiaomeng rolled up the window again.
"The weather is not good. I guess your appointment won't come on time." Zhang Zian waved his hand, "Drive slowly."
After Sun Xiaomeng drove away, Zhang Zian looked at the health certificate again to make sure there was no problem.
The dog raising regulations in Binhai City were relatively loose for large and medium-sized dogs, unlike some big cities, which had a strict rule that only dogs under the shoulder height could be registered.
With the health immunity certificate, he could go to the police station in the nearby district to apply for a dog raising certificate. Although he had been thinking about this since he caught Famous, he didn't expect Famous to be able to leave the shop freely so soon, which caught him off guard.
