Chapter 500 The Rat Changes the Can

After Lu Chen finished his homework, the four of them happily came to their aunt's house.

My uncle was in charge of the cooking and cooked a large table of delicacies, including roast chicken, beer-battered duck, and prawns. Lu Jingxing felt hungry just looking at them.

My aunt hadn’t seen Lu Chen and Lu Xi for a long time, and she was very happy to see them. The coffee table was piled with snacks. They were not allowed to eat snacks before, but now they kept asking them to eat them. Lu Jingxing smiled and said to her aunt : "I'll let you eat later and buy so many snacks."

My aunt smiled and said, "Yes, I heard you said you were coming this afternoon. Your uncle went to buy it specially. He is going to have dinner soon and will take it back later."

As soon as everyone arrived, they went to see the little baby. The little guy was very lively and his eyes were dancing around. Lu Chen and Lu Xi laughed when they teased him casually. Lu Chen and Lu Xi rushed to hold him. Ji Ling was the one. Reluctant to let go, "I just hugged you for a while. My baby wants to be held by my sister, right? You see, he is happy with me and wants me to hold him."

Lu Jingxing also came closer. Seeing the little brother's small hands and round eyes, he thought he was really cute.I couldn't help but pinch his cheek. The little guy who was still smiling suddenly curled up his mouth and cried "Wow".

Lu Jingxing was obviously frightened: "I didn't use any force, so I just touched his face."

The aunt came over and said, "It's okay, it's okay. The baby is getting used to being born now. Just give him more hugs and it'll be fine."

Lu Jingxing was embarrassed: "Then it's okay if Ji Ling hugs him?"

"Because he likes beautiful sisters, isn't it, Xiaobao?" The aunt took Xiaobao from Ji Ling's hand.

"Oh, baby, this is my brother. He likes you. Stop crying. We won't cry anymore." Miraculously, after a few coaxings by my aunt, he really stopped crying. He held him in front of Lu Jingxing and said, "Come here, reach out and give him a hug. Once you get to know him, he won't cry."

Lu Jingxing quickly wiped his hands on his body, not knowing where to place his hands, which made Lu Chen and Lu Xi laugh.

When Lu Chen and Lu Xi were young, he was in school. He lived in the dormitory and had little time to go home. He didn't have many hugs, so he was very nervous.

Ji Ling found it amusing to see him at a loss, and told him to put his left hand down to drag the baby's buttocks, and to circle the baby's bottom with his right hand.

Lu Jingxing was still very nervous, and after hugging him for a while, it was probably because of his relatives that Xiaobao really stopped crying.Lu Chen and Lu Xi teased him and he laughed again.

After a while, her uncle called for dinner, and Ji Ling ran to the kitchen to help serve the food.

Lu Jingxing quietly told his aunt that he and Ji Ling were talking about being friends. He would send her to school in a few days, and would ask Lu Chen and Lu Xi to come over for a few days.

The aunt was very happy: "This little girl is very nice. You have to treat her well and just let Chenchen and Xixi come over. It's not like you haven't brought her with you before. School is about to start in a few days. Let them play here for a few days."

Everyone had a meal affectionately, and when they left, the aunt prepared a red envelope for Ji Ling. Ji Ling blushed and refused to take it. The aunt held her hand and said, "This is custom, don't be a burden. Jing Xing's parents are gone, and I am the only elder. Now that you care about him and love him, I am really happy. I also like you very much. I just hope that you two will be well and love each other."

"Thank you, auntie. He is also very good to me. I will treat him well. Don't worry." Ji Ling assured her aunt in a low voice.

"I don't worry, I don't worry, then my aunt won't come to see you off when you go to school. You should be careful on the way. Remember to call your aunt when you get to school." her aunt warned Ji Ling.

"Yeah, okay." After everyone said that, they went out. The uncle said he wanted to send them downstairs, and Lu Jingxing pushed him back. "You've been working hard all afternoon. There's no need to send them off. We'll go by ourselves." The uncle said with a smile. gone back.

On the way back, Ji Ling gave the red envelope to Lu Jingxing, but Lu Jingxing didn't accept it: "Just keep it, my aunt gave it to you. It means that my aunt likes you very much. Don't be burdened by it, we just need to be nice."

"Okay, I'll keep it first." Ji Ling carefully put the red envelope away and said silently in her heart: "This is like meeting the parents."

Lu Jingxing felt very happy looking at Ji Ling with a silly smile on her face.

As soon as I returned to the store, the old woman who had sent the myna here at noon came in again carrying a birdcage.

"Doctor, my brother hasn't been eating or drinking since he went back. He's not in good spirits and is wilting. I'm worried and have to come over to see you again. Please help me." Grandma walked in in a hurry.

"Take off the cover and let me take a look." Lu Jingxing took the birdcage.

After taking off the cover, Myna also opened his eyes. He was standing on one foot just now, and now he is standing with two feet at the bottom of the cage. The injured foot has been bandaged because Lu Jingxing helped him carry a small baby. The Elizabethan ring can't peck at the foot, so the bandage is fine and hasn't fallen apart yet.I just feel a little less energetic than I was in the morning.

Lu Jingxing put his fingers in and pulled it, but it had no strength to peck him.

"Grandma, what do you mean?" Ji Ling looked at Lu Jingxing and asked her grandma.

Grandma looked at Lu Jingxing and said sheepishly: "I want you to take care of it for a while. I'm afraid of it if it doesn't eat or drink..."

Lu Jingxing turned around and said, "It's okay. It was given anesthesia during the operation and it hasn't fully woken up yet, so it won't eat. If you're not worried, just leave it here with us. I have a few parrots here, or you can come with us." Nourish.”

"That's great, great. I'll pick it up when it's well. You can see how much it costs. Money doesn't matter. I have nothing else to do now, so I'm not afraid of this." Grandma heard Lu Jingxing said that she could adopt him. The child relaxed and the people became happy.

"Grandma, we won't charge extravagantly. We also charge on a daily basis. Leave your phone number and we'll give you a call when we think it's almost recovered." Ji Ling answered Lu Jingxing's words.

"Okay, okay, I'll call you." Grandma was relieved.

Lu Jingxing took the myna into the inner room, added a glass of water to its cage, and then brought the bird food that he usually gave to the parrots.

He opened his heart and said, "Come on, drink some water and eat something, otherwise you won't be able to do anything tomorrow." "Gah... I don't want to eat, I'm still dizzy..." Myna was weak.

"You have to eat something if you don't want to eat. Only by eating can you gain strength." Lu Jingxing was like coaxing a child.

The myna actually came over and took a peck of the bird food, and then took a sip of water.I stopped eating after a few bites.

Lu Jingxing touched its head and said, "Okay, have a good rest today and I'll help you tomorrow."

He walked out of the inner room.

Grandma just finished giving her phone address and was about to go back.

"It just ate some bird food. Don't worry, it will be fine." Lu Jingxing told his grandma again.

"Okay, I knew you had a way, so I'll go back first." Grandma said and left.Ji Ling walked her grandma to the door before turning back and said to Lu Jingxing: "I feel that the business in the store is getting better and better. I'm afraid that after I leave, all the summer workers in the store will go back to school, and you will have to hire someone else. .”

Lu Jingxing was clearing today's accounts at the front desk. When he heard Ji Ling's words, he raised his head and said, "I have this plan, but it's hard to recruit people now, and our industry needs people who like small animals. I'll do it in two days." Post a job opening and try it out, the new store will also need manpower."

"Yes, but unfortunately my school is too far away. I will only be able to come back to help during the long holidays." Ji Ling had a small regret.

"It's okay. You can go to school with peace of mind. This problem is not difficult to solve. Aren't we still with Yang Pei and I? If it doesn't work, we can recruit a few more college students to work part-time." Lu Jingxing felt that it was not a big problem. Anyway, now There are also quite a few students working part-time in the store.

"Okay, I'll go to our school group and ask you if there is anyone who needs part-time job. I'm afraid it's hard to find someone like me." Ji Ling said playfully.

"That's for sure." Lu Jingxing smiled: "I entered this industry because of your influence."

"Haha, what do you think? Don't regret it." Ji Ling laughed, remembering the first time the two met.

"If you don't regret it, how can you regret it?" Lu Jingxing came over and knocked Ji Ling on the head.

"Hmph, you will bully me." Ji Ling started acting coquettishly.

"I told Yang Pei and Song Yuan that I will send you to school in a few days. I also told my aunt today that there should be no problem with me. You can pack your things in the next few days and see if there is anything else. If you need to prepare, go ahead and make preparations. Just decide on which day to leave." Lu Jingxing explained the plan to Ji Ling. He likes to do things in a planned way so as not to be in a hurry when he arrives.

"Okay." Ji Ling answered simply.

Lu Jingxing turned around and was about to go to the hospital to check, when he saw something "squeaky" running in at the front door.

Ji Ling turned around and was shocked.

"Click, click, click." It was the weasel again, dragging another big mouse, looking at Lu Jingxing with an innocent face.

"Ah, why did you send a mouse here again?" Ji Ling looked at the big mouse, which was not much bigger than a weasel, and held her head: "You have to explain it clearly to it. I have sent mice here from time to time in the past two days. I also Gotta deal with rats.”

Lu Jingxing also couldn't laugh or cry: "Didn't I tell you that I don't want mice?"

The weasel stood up and turned its head. "Such a big rat, I haven't eaten a can in many days."

Lu Jingxing reacted: "Did you not come here these days just to catch a big rat to change the can?"

"Ka, ka ka ka." The weasel clapped and circled again, yes, yes, I want to change the can.

"Bring you a jar, please don't send mice next time. If you want to eat jars, just come to me." Lu Jingxing opened a jar for it and put it in front of it. After all, it is wild, so it is better to keep it. A little distance is good.

Although he had seen Lu Jingxing a few times and knew that Lu Jingxing was a good person, he was still a little scared of the weasel. Although he wanted to eat it, he still waited until he had put it away before coming over. He started eating in small bites and hummed while eating, "It's so delicious." , Ka Ka Ka..."

"Meow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ou, ou, ou, ou, ou, ou, ou, fu, ou, fuu, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Bamao, who was in the cage, smelled its scent and roared in the cage.

"Why are you here again and snatching our cans again?" It was very unconvinced.

When the weasel heard the roar, he raised his head and glanced at Ba Mao in the cage, ignored him and continued to eat him.

This made Bamao angry, "I'm talking to you. Why are you ignoring me? You're not allowed to eat. Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

"Okay, don't be stingy, I didn't eat your food." Lu Jingxing looked at Ba Mao who was fussing in the cage and quickly comforted him.

"Meow aw aw... I don't accept it... I want it too..." He is just a guy who doesn't like other people's good things.

Lu Jingxing smiled: "You're just greedy, right? Stop yelling and I'll open a can for you."
