start with a pet store

Chapter 954: Follow Orders
But he also needs to rest, he can't work seven days a week, so Lu Jingxing has to take over on his days off.

But Lu Jingxing didn't expect that Xiao Sun was still thinking about the task given by Lu Jingxing during his vacation, and was looking for another person to enter their reptile area.

Some of these new little guys are classified as Class III protected species, and Lu Jingxing even received special approval for this.

I was so busy every day that the May Day activity proposed by Yang Pei was delayed until the end of April.

Lu Jingxing finally handed the matter over to Yang Pei. After all, no one is omnipotent and naturally cannot do everything by himself.

Ji Ling also flew back to Long'an on the night of the 30th.

Lu Jingxing originally said that he was going to pick her up in BJ on May Day. Firstly, the sudden incident made him extremely busy, and also because Ji Ling felt sorry for him and knew that he was too busy and tired, she refused to let him go to pick her up.

He got off work early and went to the airport to pick him up.

Lu Chen and Lu Xi became light bulbs again, but they also did their homework.

Made a very special pick-up sign.

As soon as Ji Ling came out of the airport passage, he saw three people waiting at the entrance from afar. Of course, the pick-up sign also played a big role, attracting passers-by to look back.

“Sister Lingzi, Sister Lingzi…” Lu Xi and Lu Chen both jumped up and shouted.

"Keep your voice down, everyone is looking at you..." Lu Jingxing waved at Ji Ling in the distance, and did not forget to lower his head to speak to the two siblings.

The two of them stuck out their tongues and ran towards Ji Ling impatiently.

Ji Ling happily caught the two little ones, one in each hand, and her face was full of joy.

Lu Jingxing also walked over, took Ji Ling's suitcase, and touched her head lovingly: "Why do you feel thinner again? Do you often skip meals? Hmm?"

"Is there?" Ji Ling chuckled.

"You really seem to have lost weight. Is it because the food in the school cafeteria is not tasty, Sister Lingzi?" Lu Xi looked up at Ji Ling in the tone of an adult.

"The food in the school cafeteria is delicious, but I'm not used to it. But it's okay. I don't feel like I've lost weight..." Ji Ling lowered her head and wrapped her waist around herself: "My waistline seems to be the same."

"Let's go to Uncle Yang's place to have barbecue..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"Yeah, great..." Lu Chen and Lu Xi jumped up again with joy.

"Shh, keep your voice down..." Ji Ling had a smile on his face.

She had rarely felt this kind of feeling of being surrounded by her family since she was a child. Since she had Lu Jingxing, several people would come to pick her up every time she came back. The feeling of being surrounded by her made her feel so satisfied and happy.

They soon arrived at Uncle Yang's shop, and Aunt Yang saw Ji Ling at a glance: "Oh, our top student is back, come in quickly..."

Ji Ling called out with a smile: "Aunt Yang..." Then she called out sweetly to Uncle Yang who was busy at work: "Uncle..."

"Hey, find a seat quickly..." Uncle Yang wiped his sweat and replied loudly.

Aunt Yang had already brought the two children to their seats, and Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling also sat down next to them.

Before Lu Jingxing ordered, Uncle Yang brought some of the food over: "Come on, eat first, grandpa will continue to grill it for you right away."

“Wow, thank you Grandpa…” Lu Xi immediately said sweetly.

Ji Ling's appetite was whetted after seeing these. She really missed this dish.

The few of them ate and chatted. Lu Chen and Lu Xi had only come here to eat once. Lu Jingxing usually didn't allow them to eat barbecue, so the two siblings were eating with full stomachs. In the end, when they couldn't eat any more, they touched their stomachs with satisfaction and smacked their lips with contentment.

The next day was May Day, and Yang Pei came to the store early in the morning.

Lu Jingxing and Ji Ling also arrived early. This was their first time organizing such an adoption-themed event.

The backboard was set up yesterday, with the eye-catching words "Take me home, adopt instead of buying" written on it.

In addition to the people in the store, there were many volunteers on site. Everyone was wearing custom-made clothes, and the team was quite spectacular.

Early in the morning, everyone started to get busy.

One side is the cat area and the other side is the dog area.

Because we sent out a lot of advertisements in the early stage, many customers came one after another.

Today you can register and adopt on the spot. Although the requirements have not been lowered, it is more straightforward than usual, and there is more room for selection, so many people come.

The event is expected to last for three days, one morning each day, which will make the whole street appear particularly lively.

The restaurants next door are also doing a booming business.

Ji Ling is surrounded by many people every day: "Does adoption cost money? Does it also require monthly payments?"

Ji Ling explained again and again: "It doesn't cost money, our adoption method is completely free, but you have to be willing to accept our return visits at any time. If the cat is fed normally, if there is a problem, we can guarantee it for a month, but if it is caused by abuse or other reasons, we will call the police."

Other staff members also explained the details to the customers who were planning to adopt over and over again.

These details are actually beneficial for people who really want to keep small animals, but they still have some deterrent effect on people with bad intentions.

After three days, the activity was quite effective, with nearly two hundred cats and dozens of dogs going out.

This way, the pressure on the store is reduced a lot.

Seeing the event come to a successful conclusion, Lu Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't participate much in this matter and was a little worried about any accidents, but he didn't expect the effect to be so unexpectedly good. As long as the follow-up visits were done in the future, there would be no problem.

After the event ended that day, my aunt called again: "Xiao Jing, bring Lingling back for dinner tonight. She hasn't come to eat yet this time."

"Okay, she also said she wanted to come see you. The store has been very busy these days..." Lu Jingxing replied.

"I know, that's why I didn't call you." said my aunt with a smile.

So, when he got off work, Lu Jingxing told Ji Ling about this.

"I really am. How could I forget about this? Let's go buy something." Ji Ling patted his head.

"No need for that?" Lu Jingxing said with a smile.

"Of course not, oh my god, I didn't even think of going to see my aunt, and let her call me, damn it." Ji Ling was very annoyed.

"It's really okay. They know we've been busy these days." Lu Jingxing smiled at her.

"Let's go shopping. Oh, by the way, I brought a gift for Xiaobao..." Last time, she gave the gifts for Lu Chen and Lu Xi to them. She had said that she would go to her aunt's house the next day, but she completely forgot about it when she got busy with this activity.

"Just give it to Xiaobao..." Lu Jingxing said, and thought for a while: "Forget it, let's go buy some fruit, otherwise, you won't feel at ease."

"Really? This isn't necessary..." The two of them then happily went out.

When I arrived downstairs at my aunt's house, I saw Lu Chen and Lu Xi playing with Xiaobao downstairs. Grandma was watching them. When she saw them coming, Lu Xi immediately came up to them, while Lu Chen stood there holding Xiaobao, not daring to move.

When Xiaobao saw Lu Jingxing, he immediately called out in a baby voice: "Brother..."

Lu Jingxing trotted a few steps and took Xiaobao from Lu Chen. The little guy kissed him on the face and then reached out to Ji Ling: "Hug..."

Ji Ling was pleasantly surprised: "Did he recognize me? He actually let me hug him?"

She handed the things to Lu Chen and Lu Xi, and took Xiaobao from Lu Jingxing.

The little guy kicked his feet with joy.

Seeing his appearance, several people burst into laughter. "This little guy, he really remembers you..." Grandma walked over with a smile.

"Grandma..." Ji Ling called sweetly.

Then everyone went upstairs together.

Ba Mao, who was at the door, poked his head out and looked outside. He was stunned when he saw Ji Ling appear at the elevator entrance holding Xiao Bao. He stared at her in disbelief.

"What's wrong, Ba Mao, don't you recognize me?" Ji Ling smiled and looked at the dazed Ba Mao.

"Meow..." Bamao cried and jumped over. He didn't look like a cat at all, but more like a dog that hadn't seen its owner for a long time.

Its tail stood straight up, and it meowed and rubbed Ji Ling's feet.

If it hadn't seen Ji Ling holding Xiaobao, it would probably have jumped directly into her arms.

Lu Xi picked up Ba Mao: “Sister, hold him, come…”

Just a few of them squeezed into the gate together.

My uncle, in his usual posture, poked his spoon and head out of the kitchen and greeted me with a smile.

"Lingzi is here. We can have dinner soon." Auntie followed.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work..." Ji Ling responded with a smile.

"Didn't I tell you not to buy anything? Why did you buy it again?" Auntie scolded Lu Jingxing when she saw him carrying several bags of fruit.

"Lingzi said we must buy it, I was just following orders..." Lu Jingxing spread his hands, looking helpless.

It made everyone laugh again.

There was already a table full of dishes. My uncle smiled and wiped his hands: "We can eat after one more vegetable. Children, go wash your hands."

Ji Ling put Xiao Bao on the mat on the ground, and Ba Mao took the opportunity to jump on her.

It made a snoring sound constantly.

"It really misses you..." Lu Jingxing said with a smile, then stroked its head, and the little guy kept humming.

The aunt looked at Ji Ling with pity and said, "Why do I think Lingling has become thinner?"

"Really? I didn't feel that way. Brother Lu also said that I lost weight the other day... But others are also trying to lose weight, I can't wait to lose some weight..." Ji Ling turned around and said to her aunt.

"Don't be too thin, or you'll starve yourself." My aunt frowned.

"I eat it every day, but the taste is a bit sweet, so I'm not used to it. I'll pay attention..." Ji Ling looked like a good girl, and the elders liked her more and more.

After everyone finished their meal, they chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Jingxing took Ji Ling home.

The two chatted casually. Because they were used to this kind of life, they didn't even think about going to see a movie or anything else. They just felt content to stay together like this.

At this point, there were not many people on the road. The two of them were walking on a small path, which was not crowded anyway.

Suddenly Lu Jingxing stopped.

Ji Ling turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Listen, do you hear a dog barking?" Lu Jingxing said with his ear tilted.

"Is there?" Ji Ling also stopped: "I think I heard it, over there?"

"Let's go and take a look..." Lu Jingxing pulled Ji Ling and walked towards the place where the sound came from.

The two walked along, looking down all the way.

This is a low jungle, and because not many people pass by, it looks a bit sloppy.

"The sound seems to come from here?" Ji Ling pointed to the most lush area.

"Let me see..." Lu Jingxing found a long branch and carefully pulled aside the bushes.

Just behind the bushes, a white nylon bag appeared in front of the two men.

The two looked at each other. The sound came from this bag.

Lu Jingxing has already picked up the bag: "It's a bit heavy... It seems like there is more than one..."

Ji Ling came over immediately and prepared to take action.

"Let me do it..." Lu Jingxing patted her.

Unsure of what was inside, he didn't dare let Ji Ling take the risk.

Ji Ling quickly stepped aside.

Lu Jingxing opened the bag slowly and carefully.

I saw a white puppy inside, barking non-stop and climbing up while barking.

Ji Ling, who heard the cry, leaned over and said, "Puppy?"

Lu Jingxing nodded: "Yes, but there seems to be a cat inside..."

"Ah? Really? How could this happen?" Ji Ling asked in disbelief.

"Don't get too close, I don't know the situation and I'm afraid there might be problems..." Lu Jingxing looked around vigilantly and didn't see anyone nearby. It seemed that it was abandoned by someone else.

"Then take it back?" Ji Ling asked.

"Hmm..." Lu Jingxing nodded and picked up the bag with one hand.

Then he walked straight into the store.

"Oh my god, there are so many fleas. Luckily I didn't let you pick them up." When he arrived at the store, Lu Jingxing looked at the red spots on his hands and said with a frown.

"Why don't you say anything? Just let it bite you all the way." Ji Ling was speechless and immediately took out the spray and sprayed Lu Jingxing.

"It's no use saying it..." Lu Jingxing smiled.

The store employees have already taken the two little ones in.

"Brother Lu, there are so many fleas on them..." The two came out with worried faces.

"I know. Look at my hands. It's okay. Let's kill the insects first..." Lu Jingxing said, looking up.

By the time Ji Ling and Lu Jingxing went in, the two little guys had been wrapped up like mummies by two employees, with only their heads left outside, their eyes rolling around.

The puppy seemed to be in good condition. Apart from being covered with fleas, there seemed to be no other problems.

"The kitten doesn't seem to be well. I think it may have other problems." Xiaojiu said to Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing nodded: "They all look like skewers. They must have had problems and were abandoned. Let's check them all."
