start with a pet store

Chapter 677 Regret

Go and scratch it quickly, so that you don’t have to wait for everyone to ask questions and find it difficult to explain yourself.

He closed the door and shaved seriously in front of the mirror in front of the sink. No wonder Xiao Sun asked, the dark circles under his eyes were also a bit obvious.

Some people stay up all night for several consecutive nights without any problem. I am so young, why do I get dark circles under my eyes after going to bed so many hours late? I can’t figure it out...

But he doesn't get hung up on it. If he can't figure it out, just don't think about it. Everyone's body is different, so there's nothing to get hung up on.

He shaved and washed his face.

Looking in the mirror again, um, not bad, I look more energetic.

As soon as he finished cleaning and sat down, Xiao Sun brought a man in.

"Brother Lu, I'm looking for you..." Xiao Sun knocked on the door and led the man in.

Lu Jingxing saw that the man did not bring any small animals and came alone. He smiled and nodded: "Hello, please sit down..." and gestured towards the stool opposite the desk.

The man didn't give in and sat down directly.

Lu Jingxing felt that this person seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. He even wondered if he had prosopagnosia. Why couldn't he recognize so many familiar people these days? But he couldn't. It's strange, after all, there is such a large flow of people in the store every day. It's not surprising that there are a few people who have seen it but have never interacted with it.

The man was wearing a black male jacket and was about a little over 1.7 meters tall. He looked very honest and honest, making him look like a business leader at a glance.

Looking at it this way, Lu Jingxing felt that he probably didn't know him.

After the man sat down, he asked: "Hello, do you have any pets at home and do you need consultation?"

There was a hint of pain in the man's eyes, which had always been calm. He seemed to be brewing his emotions. After a while, he said, "Doctor Lu, I came here specifically to see you."

Lu Jingxing nodded, understanding, and said nothing, quietly waiting for him to continue.

"My old man asked you for help here a while ago. I wonder if you still remember?" He asked the question hesitantly.

"Old man?" Lu Jingxing thought hard. Every day, I have old men coming with cats and dogs. They will politely say that they are asking for my help. If you don't explain clearly, I really don't know you. Which one are you talking about?

He could only smile and said: "I receive people every day, I really don't know who you are talking about?"

The man thought for a moment and said, "My parents have dozens of stray cats at home, and then I heard from my old man that you helped with sterilization..."

"Oh, let me put it this way, I know. Auntie is quite charming. She makes her own coffee, right? I went there twice and she invited me to drink coffee..." Lu Jingxing immediately knew who he was talking about. He remembered that the old man seemed to have Parkinson's disease. He hadn't seen the old man come to buy cat food for a long time. Since it was now possible to buy cat food online, he didn't take the initiative to call and ask.

No wonder he looked familiar to this man, but couldn't remember it. He had never seen him in person, but he looked very similar to the old man, so he felt familiar.

No, why is his son here today, and why is he so serious?

"Old man...what's wrong?" Lu Jingxing asked hesitantly.

Seeing that he knew which one he was talking about, the man breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his sitting posture, and then said slowly: "I came to you for help. My old man asked me to come to you, and he said that he had asked before Your opinion..."

Lu Jingxing looked at him with some doubts: "You said, as long as I can help..." This person spoke in a very impatient manner. Lu Jingxing, a non-impatient person, would inevitably be a little anxious, but what are you saying about the old man?

"My old man had a stroke the day before yesterday. He is in the hospital now because he already had Parkinson's disease. This stroke was quite sudden and the situation is not very optimistic. My father and mother have always had a good relationship. When I saw the old man collapsed, I My mother was so upset that she was hospitalized..." The man looked very anxious.

"There are a lot of cats at home, as you will know if you have been there. I also thought about asking someone to come back to take care of me, but it is not a long-term solution. The main reason is that the old man is not at ease. He cannot trust the people invited from outside. When he is awake, he will talk about it. He was looking at the cats at home, and then he kept saying to see Dr. Lu. We didn’t understand it at first, thinking that he was sick and wanted us to see Dr. Lu from the hospital, which made a big mistake. Later we understood what the old man meant." He was sincere. He looked at Lu Jingxing.

"Dr. Lu, I know that asking you to accept this big deal all at once would be embarrassing for you, but I really can't think of a better way, so you see..." He looked full of expectation.

"This is nothing, don't worry. I have a cattery here, and dozens of cats will be fine. Besides, I did promise the old man that I would take over his cats. Don't worry about this..." Lu Jingxing He stood up and poured a cup of tea for the man.

"What I'm worried about now is the old man and auntie. Are they okay?" Lu Jingxing thought the old couple were really good and he just hoped they would be healthy. "Don't worry, they are already in the hospital. There is no serious danger for the time being. The old man may need some time to recover. My mother just has high blood pressure. She will be fine if she stays for a few days. Thank you for your concern. Hey, Looking at you, I also regret it. If I had started a family earlier, my children would be about your age. This is my old man’s heartache..." The man looked at Lu Jingxing, he liked this quiet and polite boy very much. .

I used to feel that if I didn't get married, I would be free to go anywhere and live a very comfortable life. Looking back now, I think it's a real regret in life that I couldn't let my father, who has always loved children, have a grandson.

Lu Jingxing was a little embarrassed. This man felt that his official position was not small, so he didn't expect to say such heartfelt words to him.

He kind of doesn't pick up the phone.

After a pause, he said: "As long as the old man recovers slowly, there is hope. Now that the medical conditions are so good, the old man and aunt will definitely be in good health. You don't have to be too anxious..."

He thought for a while before continuing: "The old man also talked to me, just thinking about his grandson. He said that as long as you feel happy now, he won't force it, so you don't have to feel too guilty. If you find someone suitable, One is not bad, anyway, you are still so young, you have plenty of opportunities, don’t you?"

After saying that, he felt a little embarrassed. He was not married yet, so it seemed that his persuasion was not so legitimate.

The man smiled gratefully and took a sip of tea: "Yes, you are right. If you want to do anything, it's never too late..." He seemed to be replying to Lu Jingxing's words, more like giving himself a reassurance.

If we continue talking, the atmosphere will become awkward.

Lu Jingxing quickly said: "Then when is the best time for me to pick up the cat from your house?"

The man quickly stood up: "Please arrange it..." He took the pen and paper on Lu Jingxing's desk and wrote down the phone number in a few strokes: "This is my phone number. Call me about an hour in advance before you come. That's fine, I have someone at home now, you are welcome to come over at any time..."

"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible..." Lu Jingxing picked up the note, looked at it, and silently wrote down the phone number. The man wrote Ouyang, which seems to be the compound surname Ouyang.

There are indeed many people named Ouyang here.

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you, Doctor Lu. I'll save some of the fees here later. If it's not enough then you can call me..." He stood up and shook hands with Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing also stood up politely: "No, we are a stray cat base, it's free..."

"That's not okay. It's your business to be free. Okay, it doesn't matter. Let's not worry about it..." After saying that, he waved his hand and went out.

Lu Jingxing walked him to the door and then turned back, because an old man holding a kitten came and hugged the little guy with a look of love on his face.

The man named Ouyang who walked out of the office looked back at the old man and then walked to the front desk.

Xiao Sun at the front desk received him.

Lu Jingxing said hello to him, then turned back to show this old man's cat.

After a basic examination, it was found that the little guy had a urinary tract infection, which was not serious. Lu Jingxing prescribed medicine for him and told his grandfather that it would be best to have him sterilized. After sterilization, he would not be prone to urinary obstruction. The situation will be much better.

But the old man was very hesitant. He felt that as a man, he knew how cruel it was to sterilize a cat, and he could not bear to have his kitten sterilized.

Lu Jingxing was a little dumbfounded. What the old man said was not entirely wrong, but he didn't understand that cats and people are different. People can still do certain things after being sterilized. How could he explain this to him?

He stroked his forehead, found some information on the bookshelf, and explained in detail some of the advantages and disadvantages of neutering and not neutering cats.

Finally, he said: "Grandpa, don't think that I want you to sterilize him just to make money from you. I'm just talking about the matter. There's no rush. The little guy is only a few months old. You still have time to think about it." Yes, you can come to us at any time after you think about it, okay?" He said patiently with a smile.

The old man was not a stubborn person. Hearing Lu Jingxing speak for so long and then say this again, he felt a little embarrassed and touched the little guy's head: "No, Doctor Lu, you misunderstood me. Where did I go?" I'm afraid that you will make money. I know. They say you are the most honest person. I am really afraid that my little pussy will hurt, but I have remembered everything you said and I will definitely consider it carefully..."

Lu Jingxing then showed a happy smile. Hearing the old man who was so opposed at the beginning say this, he felt that he was pretty good.

After sending the grandfather away, Xiao Sun walked in with a smile...

Lu Jingxing raised his head and looked at him: "Why are you so happy? You picked up money?"
