start with a pet store

Chapter 574
  Lu Jingxing brought two bags of cat food to the old man: "It's not easy for you. Although raising cats doesn't require walking every day like raising dogs, you said that you have raised more than [-] cats. It's not easy to persist."

"Yeah, so now my son doesn't understand me very much. My son is in his thirties and he won't get married. I said it's because he won't get married and give me a child for us to play with, so we can only play with cats. Yes, he is speechless every time because of this. Hahaha, in fact, even if he gets married and has grandchildren, I still have to raise a cat..." The old man is a bit naughty.

Lu Jingxing also laughed loudly: "Be careful, I'll tell your son, haha..."

The old man laughed heartily again: "That's a good relationship, haha. Do you have time now? Come with me to my house?"

"Let me see if there is anything else. Please wait for me for a moment." After speaking, Lu Jing walked to the front desk and looked at today's schedule. The surgery was scheduled for the afternoon. There was nothing else to do in the morning. He should drive there. It won't be long, so go check it out.

The old man stood upright at the gate with a cane, waiting for Lu Jingxing to come out, and then walked towards his car together.

Lu Jingxing was carrying two large bags of cat food, and Xiao Sun helped carry several bags of cat litter into the car.

The old man looked at Lu Jingxing: "Doctor Lu, don't you bring surgical tools?"

This confused Lu Jingxing and asked, "Surgical tools? What surgical tools?"

"Is that the sterilization surgical tool?" The old man made a knife gesture.

Lu Jingxing smiled: "No, I brought a cage. If you want to be sterilized later, you can tell me and I'll bring it back to do it. We don't do it at home. We have to be careful about infection. Besides, surgery, even if it's a sterilization surgery, that's not a good idea." It doesn’t mean you can do it right away, but you also have to fast.”

"Oh oh oh, it's so troublesome. I thought it would be enough to catch it like a capon and give it a knife. That's fine. Let's go." After saying that, he got into the passenger seat and muttered in a low voice: "Before It seems that the old Chen's just clicked at the door?" He said in a low voice, but Lu Jingxing didn't hear it.

Lu Jingxing looked at the old man's deft movements and saw how they were so different from the trembling old man yesterday.

He was about to start the car. After thinking about it, he went back to the store and called Xiao Liu up. He was afraid that it would be difficult to catch the cat alone later.

Xiao Liu went out with Lu Jingxing for the first time and was very excited. Lu Jingxing looked at his excited expression and raised his eyebrows unconsciously. He is just a big kid, haha.

It's really fast to drive here, it only takes ten minutes, but if you walk, it will only take about forty minutes: "Old man, did you just walk here?"

The old man was a little stunned when he suddenly asked him: "No, my son took me for a while." That's more like it. If you walk over to him alone, you should be more careful next time.

The old man's house is quite big. According to big cities, it is a small villa, but in Long'an, it is just a detached house in the suburbs.

So it is really easy to raise cats and dogs, at least they are not afraid of disturbing the people.

Hearing the sound of the car, the old man's mother-in-law came out of the house.

Seeing the old man getting out of the car, she hurried over and said, "Where have you been? Why didn't you say anything."

"I went to Xiao Lu's place. Look, I brought him here." The old man pointed at Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing smiled and shouted: "Hello, grandma..."

The old woman has a straight back and deep and bright eyes. Although she has silver hair, she still looks strong: "Oh, Xiao Lu, the old man came back and talked to me for a long time yesterday, come on, come on, hurry up and sit in the house, That little comrade, come in quickly..." He said and welcomed the two of them in.

Lu Jingxing followed the old lady and walked in. The old lady's house was clean and tidy. Although the house looked a bit dated, it was very warmly decorated.

There is a desk in the corner of the room. There is a computer on the table that is still turned on. It seems that the old lady must have been looking at the computer just before they came. Lu Jingxing couldn't help but admire that at such an old age, he would still use such a young person like us. .

There is a painting hanging on the wall, depicting a small bridge and flowing water in spring, like a freehand landscape painting.

The silver gradation cat that was rescued yesterday was lying lazily on the sofa. When he saw someone coming in, he immediately stretched his body, squinted his eyes and whispered "meow", as if he was unhappy that someone interrupted him. Its sweet dreams.

When it took a closer look, it was obviously stunned for a moment when it saw that it was Lu Jingxing. It immediately walked over with its tail raised, stuck on Lu Jingxing's trouser leg and acted coquettishly.

Xiao Liu was a little strange: "Hey, it's so familiar..."

The old man followed behind and laughed: "It's not familiar. It's thanking yesterday's lifesaver, haha... Mimi, isn't it?" He bent down and picked up Mimi.

Mimi nestled in his arms and "meowed" in agreement.

Xiao Liu was left with a confused face. He didn't know what happened yesterday. Lu Jingxing also smiled and was not prepared to explain to him.

The old lady quickly asked them to sit down, took out a lot of snacks from under the coffee table, and kept asking them to eat.

Then he turned around and went into the kitchen, saying he was going to make a cup of good tea to entertain them.

Xiao Liu was a little surprised when he saw the old man being so enthusiastic at first, thinking he was some relative of Lu Jingxing, but Lu Jingxing didn't look like him, so he roughly guessed it after hearing what the old man said. He just sat quietly with her, taking a few bites of a biscuit from time to time, so as not to look so at a loss. The old man was very happy and kept pulling Lu Jingxing to talk about some of his experiences in raising cats over the years. Lu Jingxing accompanied the conversation and looked at the time. He couldn't sit still anymore: "Old man, let's go to the backyard and take a look. "

The old man stood up immediately: "Look at my memory, I have forgotten the important things. Let's go..."

Xiao Liu immediately got up and the three of them went to the backyard together.

You can't tell from the front, but this backyard is really quite big.

The yard is filled with a variety of flowers and plants, and the colorful flowers sparkle in the sunlight, making people feel happy when they see them.

There was an ancient well in the center of the yard. It was a hand-cranked well. Lu Jingxing had seen it at his grandma's house in the countryside when he was very young. He felt particularly familiar with the ancient well.

There is also a row of vegetable fields next to the yard, where various vegetables are grown.

In the yard, in the corners, there are fluffy cats hiding.

They were either lying in the sun and taking a nap, or a few were scurrying up and down for fun.

The old man waved his hand, and several little guys ran over. He caught one of the bright-haired tabby cats: "Look, you guys, I have wanted to sterilize this one for a long time. It has already given birth to several litters."

The belly of the one caught by the old man is already very big, and it is estimated that it will give birth soon.

"Have you not neutered them?" If they had not been neutered, there must be more than this, and the number would double every year.

"That's not true. We used to have a barefoot doctor, a veterinarian. He passed away last year. He used to come and help me gain a few cats every year. Since he left, the new ones have stopped doing this." He did not take the cats away. I have the habit of taking him to the pet store. He used to come to my door. I just muttered that it meant him.

In the past, when buying cat food, his son would help him buy it online. Later, when his son was not willing to buy it, he learned to go online by himself. Then the old woman would make stew and rice for the little ones, and the cat food would just be mixed with it.

Lu Jingxing took a quick glance and saw that there were only twenty cats here, if not more than thirty.

"Do you know how many are not sterilized?" Lu Jingxing casually grabbed a blue cat. This cat was very clingy. It showed no resistance at all when he touched it. It even narrowed its eyes. Lu Jingxing touched its belly. He looked like he was enjoying himself.

I was so lucky, the one I caught was unneutered.

"Xiao Liu, go and bring in a few cages. I guess there are quite a few..." Lu Jingxing felt his heart skip a beat when he saw that he could easily find an unneutered cage.

Xiao Liu ran away, and within a few minutes they brought six cages. Lu Jingxing put the first one in first.

"Well, I really don't know. There weren't so many before. Many of them came in the second half of last year and this year. I'm afraid there are only six or seven here this year." The old man smiled naively.

"Old lady, do you know how many dumb ones we have here?" the old man shouted to the back room.

I saw the old lady walking out of the back room with a saucer, and the strong fragrance of coffee floated far away...

Lu Jingxing's eyes lit up, this old couple was really particular.

"Come, try my craft, freshly ground coffee, I learned it from the Internet, what do you think?" The old lady came over with a smile.

Xiao Liu looked surprised: "Grandma, are you so awesome?"

The little life of this old couple is really unique. Lu Jingxing thought that with so many cats at home, the old couple would not have any other fun in life. When he first walked in, he saw the computer, and when he walked to the backyard, he saw The vegetable patch and the flowers and plants in the corner were enough to surprise Lu Jingxing. Unexpectedly, the old lady also gave them a big surprise.

Grandma smiled and urged them: "Try it quickly, how do you like it?"

Xiao Liu took a sip first and gave his grandma a thumbs up with an exaggerated expression: "Grandma, you are really great, it tastes so good..."

Seeing Xiao Liu's exaggerated expression, everyone laughed, but the taste was really good. Lu Jingxing couldn't help but give grandma a thumbs up: "Grandma, it tastes really good..."

Hearing that they all said it tasted good, grandma smiled even brighter, and the old man also laughed loudly: "Yes, it's time to start training, haha..."

"You guys are giving me face like this, my wife will be happy all day long." The old man looked at his wife dotingly. This scene made both Lu Jingxing and Xiao Liu envious. It was such a heartwarming scene.

Seeing everyone drinking, grandma held the saucer behind her back and pointed to the right side of the wall: "We built two small houses over there for the cats to live in. I probably made a note of it. There should be about ten of them." Among the sterilized cats, there are more male cats and only two or three female cats. The other old residents have all been sterilized."
