under the vortex

Chapter 5 Living Alone II

The next morning, the dog came over as usual and wagged its tail to ask for breakfast. Jia Wenjun went to get him ham sausage in a complicated mood despite the dark circles under his eyes from being unable to sleep.

Today is the weekend, after breakfast, she took the dog to the pet hospital at the gate of the community.

Although this is an animal hospital, it also sells pet supplies.

Baimashan had just arrived at the store not long ago, and when he saw her coming in, he went over to greet her with a smile: "Xiao Jia, you're out for a walk with the dog so early."

"Morning, Brother Bai, this dog is too noisy, I want to come over and buy a dog cage for it." Just as Jia Wenjun finished speaking, he felt the leash in his hand being pulled, and when he looked down, he saw the golden retriever pounced on Baima Mountain and wagged its tail. up.

Baimashan smiled and squatted down to pet the dog's head: "You have raised this dog very well. It was skinny before. It is all thanks to you that it is now like this."

"I only know how to feed it, but I don't know how to raise it." Jia Wenjun smiled, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that the golden retriever had urinated in the hall.

"I'm sorry, Brother Bai, I'll wipe it off with a piece of paper." Jia Wenjun looked at the yellow water stain behind the golden retriever's buttocks and wanted to pull the golden retriever's ears in embarrassment.

"It's okay, I have a disinfectant mop here, just mop it." Baimashan was used to seeing the excrement and urine of animals, so he didn't care at all, so he picked up the mop and mopped it up.

Jia Wenjun couldn't help, and felt that he was causing trouble to others, so he chose a slightly more expensive big dog cage.

The cage was too big to carry, and Baimashan said that the male clerk would deliver it to her home soon.

Wenjun doesn't like troublesome people, and with the shadow of what happened last night, she doesn't want strange men to come to her door.Seeing that the cage was not too big after being folded up, he said that he could lift it up and take it away by himself in a while.

Recalling what happened last night, she asked, "Brother Bai, you know animals better. I want to ask, what's the matter with this dog holding the key in its mouth and scratching at the door?"

It was also the first time that Baimashan heard such a strange thing: "Is there something outside the door that attracts it?"

"...It should be. It seems that someone stayed outside my door last night."

Baima Shan was stunned: "Who is it, do you know it?"

Jia Wenjun shook his head: "I didn't see the other party's face."

Baimashan paused: "You are a little girl who lives by herself, and she really needs to pay attention to safety. Having a dog can remind you, which is good. If this happens again in the future, you can call me directly, and I will It’s convenient to come and help if you live in the opposite door.”

Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, the other party's words did give Wenjun a lot of comfort.

After thanking her gratefully, she continued to ask: "I can understand scratching the door, but why is it holding the key in its mouth?"

Baimashan thought for a while: "Perhaps its previous owner liked to play with it like this. When it saw the key, it naturally put it in its mouth. It happened that there was someone outside the door at that time, so it scratched the door with the key in its mouth."

Jia Wenjun also thought of this reason when reviewing the whole incident last night, but she thought it was absurd at the time, but now that this statement comes from the mouth of the director of the animal hospital, she finds it credible.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and more and more customers came, so Jia Wenjun took the dog cage and led the dog home.

She lived on the third floor, and Wenjun couldn't help feeling nervous when she came out of the elevator.She used to work overtime and didn't feel scared when she came back in the middle of the night, but after what happened last night, thinking of the man standing at the position of her door yesterday, she felt as if there were eyes staring at her behind her in broad daylight, holding the key. My hands are shaking.

Fortunately, the electrician had come to fix the porch light in the morning, and the induction was good. The elevator door opened with a "ding" sound, and the entire stairwell was brightened.

Quickly opened the door and entered the house, she locked the door habitually, then set up the dog cage, and tried to let the golden retriever into the cage.

I thought it would take a lot of effort to get in, but I didn't expect the dog to like it very much, so it went in as soon as it jumped.

Seeing Rhubarb so well-behaved, Jia Wenjun felt relieved.

Just as I was about to take a break and have a sip of tea, a WeChat message entered my phone.

She opened it and found that it was from Baima Mountain.The chat records between Wenjun and him before are all the property payment information she sent him and the activity information held by the community.This was the first time he took the initiative to send her a message, saying that he had asked his son to put a pair of his old shoes at her door, and told her not to take offense.

Wenjun didn't expect Baimashan to be so careful. Knowing that she was in trouble last night, he helped her put some men's things outside to scare off those who have bad intentions.

Wen Jun's heart warmed up, this should be the little luck that made her feel the most heartwarming during these chaotic days.

Thanking Baimashan for replying the message, she sighed, feeling that good men are not cherished, and good women are not looked down upon.

It stands to reason that Baimashan has a good personal image. With years of exercise and self-discipline, people in their 40s look like they are in their early thirties.Moreover, he treats people kindly and politely, and he has opened a pet hospital with a large scale but a lot of money. In the community, many older unmarried, divorced, and even young unmarried girls have asked her about her neighbor.

Jia Wenjun only heard from his colleagues that when Baimashan's son was just five or six years old, his wife wanted to go abroad but he didn't want to, so they divorced.In order not to let his son be wronged, he has not remarried for so many years. He is a father and mother by himself, and he is considered a rare good father.

Jia Wenjun was thinking about these miscellaneous things, and not long after he put down his phone, the security guard on duty last night called Jia Wenjun, saying that the surveillance had been checked, and there was no suspicious person coming in and out, and asked her if she had read it wrong.

Jia Wenjun was sure that she was right, but she had no evidence. The lights outside were not working, and she couldn't open the door to take pictures and collect evidence.

After thanking the other party, Jia Wenjun cooked a boring lunch, thinking it was time to install a surveillance camera at the door of his house.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed, and the incident of jumping from a building in the community and the explosion storm gradually subsided.

Anna was in a hurry to transfer, found the property, and asked them to put sea fishing on the agenda, and they will set off next weekend.

The funder has spoken, and the property management has no reason not to respond. During this period of time, there have been complaints in the group of owners, and they, who are devastated, also want to quickly let other new things dilute the negative energy in the group during this period.

As expected, the property fee was also collected very smoothly because of the lottery.

Jia Wenjun paid the property fee for the next year and didn't draw a lottery. Gong Dalong told her not to be special, and draw one quickly.

"Wen Jun, hurry up and draw. If you get a draw, we can take pictures of each other on the yacht." Lili was afraid that others would not know that she could get on the boat, so she took the opportunity to show off to Jia Wenjun.

Jia Wenjun is not interested in this, so naturally he doesn't pay attention to her showing off.Just seeing everyone booing all the time, she felt annoyed, so she casually took a ticket from the cardboard box, unexpectedly, she got a spot.

"My God, you are possessed by a koi carp, and you have easily won the last spot." All the colleagues were amazed, and Lili, who was booing the loudest just now, fell silent.

Jia Wenjun smiled lightly and said, "Manager Gong, I still have a dog to take care of at home, so I don't want to go. I will release this spot and let other owners draw."

She doesn't want to go wherever Zhao Di goes.

Besides, she is not stupid, if Gong Dalong doesn't work, Lili will only have one mouth left, and then all the work will be pushed to her, and it will be her responsibility and problem if she can't do it well.

"Don't, go as soon as you get it. Isn't it just a dog? Take it with you on the boat." Anna's voice had already been heard by everyone before she reached the office.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and greeted the gold master with a smile.

Among the crowd, Anna looked up to Jia Wenjun who was quick and thoughtful. If Jia Wenjun didn't go, relying on Gong Dalong and Lili to organize the organization would definitely not do anything good.

Anna still wanted to rely on this transfer, but she didn't want to make any fools.So it is still necessary to find a reliable and capable person to board the ship.

She half-jokingly and half-seriously said to Jia Wenjun: "You must come, don't give me face, don't blame me for not cooperating in future property activities."

Anna is the owner in Jia Wenjun's jurisdiction. If she doesn't cooperate, it's not ignorance but confrontation.Wenjun knew that Anna's temper could definitely be dealt with, and she didn't want to cause trouble for her future work, so of course she couldn't offend such a benefactor.

MMP in my heart, still smiling on my face: "Sister An opened the back door for me like this, so I will bring my rhubarb on board that weekend."

Gong Dalong strikes while the iron is hot and asks Lili to show Anna the list of owners who have been drawn to go fishing.

Anna glanced around, and Gong Dalong was afraid that she might not know him, so he hurriedly introduced: "In addition to the three of us, there are also Mr. Baima Shanbai who runs a pet hospital, Lu Maowang, a young owner who sells water cards in the community, and other people outside the community. Sun Jiaojiao, the proprietress of that private kitchen, you all know. There is also Zhao Di who lives in the building opposite you, who is a little famous Internet celebrity. This is Uncle Wang who came to live in summer. He is seventy years old and has a strong body. , I like fishing. This is Aunt Lin who just retired from the [-]th Building. She used to be a teacher in the Municipal Experimental Primary School, and now she always dances square dances in the community. This is the old Hu and his wife who were demolished and moved back to the No. [-] building. They have two apartments, they drew twice, and they got the quota both times, you can say that this luck is no one."

Anna smiled: "Lao Hu's wife came to me before and said that they had an eight-year-old son. They were all on board, and they were worried that the child would be at home by themselves. They asked me if I could let them bring the child. I agreed. It was so crowded. Well."

"Sister An, you are really kind-hearted, but isn't the yacht limited to 12 people? Now there is a dog and a child, is it okay?" Gong Dalong asked cautiously. After all, safety is the first priority when people are at sea. .

"The boat is mine. I'm not afraid of it. What are you afraid of?"

"Hahaha, that's true. If there is no problem, then we will send out this list." Gong Dalong asked flatteringly.

"Okay, let's send it." Anna made the decision.

Just after Zhao Di finished the live broadcast, she saw the list of owners for weekend sea fishing released in the owner group. When she saw Jia Wenjun's name, she snorted coldly: "Get on the boat through the back door, right? Let's see how I deal with you then."
