After Chu Manhua paid for the pet, she received the receipt and the pet sale agreement. The mini poodle that could smell the symptoms of hypoglycemia belonged to her from now on.
In fact, it was not surprising that poodles had an excellent sense of smell. It was said that the ancestor of modern poodles was a kind of truffle dog from the fifteenth century in England. Their task was to help their owners find a precious mushroom called "truffle." They were very sensitive to the smell of this mushroom. Perhaps this mushroom also emitted a similar smell to hypoglycemia.
In short, she bought a lot of pet supplies. It was too heavy and inconvenient to carry, so she asked Zhang Zian to mail it.
She wanted to put a collar and a leash on the mini poodle, but it was restless. As if it had a premonition that they were about to leave the pet shop, it broke away from her hand and ran to its mother reluctantly.
Chu Manhua asked, "That dog is …?"
"Its mother," Zhang Zian answered.
Wang Qian wanted to go over and carry it, but Chu Manhua stopped him. She suddenly felt that she was being a little selfish. Was she going to break up the bond between mother and son?
The mini poodle's mother was the female poodle that had escaped from Love Lovely Pets with it. Because she had been forced to give birth continuously for a long time, her body had been in poor condition. Giving birth had caused the loss of calcium in her body, and she had even lost a few teeth. After a period of rest, although her body had partially recovered, she was still not as healthy as other adult dogs.
Zhang Zian did not plan to sell the female poodle to a customer for the time being. He would let it live out the rest of its life in the pet shop unless it met a very suitable customer.
The mini poodle seemed to be reluctant to leave its mother. It sniffed around her and whimpered. However, its mother was very cold to it. Recently, she had not cared about it at all. She would even push it away when it came close. It was the same today. When it tried to get close to its mother, the female poodle stood up from the ground, turned around, and continued to lie on another position. She did not look at it at all.
Such a cold attitude made the mini poodle very sad. It sniffed the place where its mother had been lying before, then walked towards Chu Manhua dejectedly.
Chu Manhua squatted down to tie the leash again. This time, it did not resist, nor did it try to break free. It just let her tie it.
"Then we will leave first. Thank you, Manager Zhang, and thank you everyone." Chu Manhua thanked Zhang Zian, Lu Yi Yun, and Wang Qian.
"Be careful." Zhang Zian smiled. "You are welcome to come again if you have any questions."
Wang Qian and Lu Yi Yun also waved goodbye to her.
She walked out of the shop with the mini poodle. Usually, she would take a taxi when she went out, but today, she decided to walk home because the doctor wanted her to exercise more. She wanted to follow the will because she still wanted to live a long and healthy life.
When she and the mini poodle disappeared, the female poodle had already stood up. It stared blankly at the empty shop entrance and didn't lie down again for a long time.
That night at the Love Lovely Pets, it pushed its fist-sized child towards Old Time Tea and Famous. Today, it did the same thing again.
Whether it was humans or animals, when their children grew up, their parents would half-force them out of the house and let them go out into the wider world. Eagles would even push their young out of their nests to let them learn how to fly. To some extent, this was an instinctive behavior of living creatures for survival and reproduction.
Others might not have noticed, but Zhang Zian did. He walked over and patted the back of its neck. It whimpered and lay down, but its eyes were still staring at the door.
Zhang Zian saw that there was nothing else for him to deal with in the shop, and Wang Qian and Lu Yi Yun were handling it well. He went out and took out a long object wrapped in plastic from the trunk of the Wuling Hong Guang MPV and went back to the second floor.
Entering the living room, Pi was typing on the keyboard as usual. Many of the letters on the keycaps had been worn out. This keyboard was not an advanced one. Fortunately, Pi had already gotten used to typing blindly, so the absence of letters on the keycaps did not affect it.
Zhang Zian put down the thing in his hands and walked to the desk. "Pi, do you have time now? I need to use the computer. "
"Eeek." Pi raised its hands high, stretched, took off its pince-nez, rubbed its eyes, jumped off the swivel chair, and gestured for Pi to help itself.
"Okay, Pi, you can take a break. I'll be done soon."
Zhang Zian opened the browser, entered the almighty Taobao, typed in the keywords he wanted to search for, and pressed enter.
He did not have high hopes before, but when he saw the pictures that were loaded, he was relieved. Taobao was indeed the almighty Taobao. It even sold such things, and there were many sellers …
"Eeek?"
Pi also saw the pictures on the screen and stood beside the desk curiously. It was only a little taller than the desk, and its eyes could barely reach the top of the desk.
It gestured with its hands, which meant to ask: You want to buy a boat?
Yes, the pictures on the computer screen were all boats. To be precise, they were inflatable boats.
Zhang Zian said, "I haven't decided whether to buy or not. I'll take a look and compare the price-performance of each seller."
The phone screen was too small, and it was not convenient to compare. It was more intuitive on the computer, and more content could be displayed at once.
"Actually, I was planning to buy an aircraft carrier, preferably a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the kind with carrier-based fighter jets. I didn't expect them to all be taken off the shelves, and only models are left. It seems that the almighty Taobao is not as good as it used to be …" he sighed.
"…" Pi had a confused expression.
There were many types of inflatable boats displayed by the sellers on Taobao, ranging from a non-powered boat that could only accommodate a single paddle for more than 100 yuan, to a four-person assault boat with an electric motor for two or three thousand yuan. Different grades of boats had different prices and different configurations, which made Zhang Zian, a layman, dazzled.
Of course, in theory, you get what you pay for. It was not a bad idea to spend more money. Within the scope of economic conditions, buying the most expensive one that he could afford was basically the right thing to do.
Two or three thousand yuan was not considered expensive. He could afford it, but he still had to consider another problem, which was whether the size could fit in the carriage of the Wuling Hong Guang MPV. Otherwise, how could he bring it to the beach? Would he have to carry it?
He bought the inflatable boat for use, not for display in the aquarium.
"Eeek?"
Pi gestured with its hands in confusion, which meant to ask: Why do you want to buy a boat? You want to go out to sea?
Zhang Zian pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I have this consideration, but I haven't made a final decision."
