Cracking sound!

Bang!

Crash!

Hearing the sound of firecrackers and the opening and closing of roller shutters, Pemmas yawned and woke up.

Has Zhang Zi'an finally come back? He was firing guns before, and he is firing them now, so it shouldn't have been a few minutes, but he just took a nap...... It thought so and opened its eyes.

Hey?

At some point, the sky was already bright, and the elves were awakened by the sound of firecrackers, and each stretched his waist and yawned.

Footsteps rang out on the stairs, and Pegasus followed the sound to the bedroom door.

Zhang Zi'an came back with two panda eyes, his face full of exhaustion, and an expression of extreme sleepiness and lovelessness.

Fina followed him not far behind, yawning one after the other.

"What are you doing...... Just came back?" asked Flying Mars in surprise, "Did you toss and turn all night next door?"

"What do you think?" Zhang Zi'an sat heavily on the bed, "Good guy, when it was almost dawn, the first cat gave birth to 5 kittens, and we were about to come back to sleep, but another cat was about to give birth, and the two cats combined gave birth to a total of 11 kittens...... Cathy's breeding manual doesn't tell you not to get two cats pregnant at the same time...... It's really my life!"

Fina didn't say anything, jumped into its princess's bed almost with her eyes closed, hooked the light gauze curtain with her tail, and fell asleep in an instant.

God knows how they tossed this night, giving the two female cats busy delivering the babies, and checking the condition of the newborn kittens, because the female cats have exhausted their whole body strength just by giving birth, and they fall asleep at the end of their lives, leaving the kittens to rush to drink milk in their arms.

The birth time of the kitten is similar, but the size and strength are not small, especially the third cub born by the first female cat, which is larger than its brothers and sisters, occupies the best position on the chest of the female cat, and the fifth born cub is the thinnest, and the eyes are not open, and after squeezing for a long time, they did not find a place to drink milk, but were squeezed to the side. Zhang Zi'an had no choice but to pick it up and put it back on the female cat's chest.

After the second female cat gave birth to the baby, Zhang Zi'an and Fina thought that it was finally over, who expected that after the first female cat woke up, she also preferred the third strong cub, and often ignored the fifth cub, although she did not refuse it to drink milk, but she would not deliberately pull it to her chest - this is the nature of wild animals, and among the children born in a litter, only the strongest one has the greatest chance of survival, so it will be more favored by the mother.

The second female cat was not entirely reassuring, and she treated her six children equally, but the problem was that she didn't seem to have enough milk to feed so many pups waiting to be fed.

Fortunately, Zhang Zi'an prepared goat milk powder in advance, mixed a small amount of glucose after brewing it with warm water, took turns to pick up the unfed cubs, and dripped them on their tongues with a dropper.

Female cats also need to pay more attention to the fact that they are weak after giving birth, and in order to replenish their strength as soon as possible, the amount of food needs to be increased to two or three times the usual amount.

Zhang Zi'an prepared the cat cans in advance, opened them and shook them at their mouths, and then poured them into their usual food bowls in the corner, and asked them to leave the cardboard box to eat in the corner, while he used this opportunity to replace the old newspapers on the cardboard boxes, put the old newspapers stained with blood into a garbage bag, and prepare to throw them out for a while.

But manual feeding alone is not enough, feeding every two to three hours, 11 cubs will be tired to death, and the symptoms will not cure the root cause. In addition, some female cats with strong motherhood like to keep their cubs to themselves, and if humans interfere too much, they may hide with their cubs in their mouths...... Although there is no need to worry about this with Fina, it is not good to make the female cat scared all day long.

He pondered that he would have to buy a few crucian carp to stew in soup today, this thing can be milked, and it is suitable for cats and people. As long as you have enough milk, you can't worry about the emaciated cub not being able to feed.

The question is...... Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the vendors selling vegetables in the vegetable market should not be out of the stall, and there may not be crucian carp in the supermarket.

When he finally finished tossing, his legs were almost weak, and when he saw that it was already dark outside, he opened the curtains of the delivery room and let the morning sun shine indoors. Female cats that have given birth no longer need a dark environment, on the contrary, they now need the sun the most, because postpartum female cats are prone to calcium deficiency, and the consequences of calcium deficiency are serious.

There are many benefits of sun exposure, first of all, ultraviolet sterilization, and secondly, there is a little-known benefit, that is, the cat's fur will be exposed to the sun will produce vitamin D, and then when the cat licks its own fur or licks the fur of its cubs, it will eat vitamin D into its stomach, and vitamin D is recognized to help with calcium absorption.

When everything was settled, he saw that the female and kittens were basking in the sun and falling asleep again, and he was finally relieved, and the drowsiness came fiercely.

"It's hard work, let's go back first. He beckoned Fina, who was already sleepy, to leave.

Before that, he did not really keep the year until dawn once, smelling the smell of gunpowder mixed in the cold breeze, watching the children in new clothes on the street in the early morning holding the hands of their parents, happily going to relatives to receive red envelopes, he was very relieved, and succeeded in surviving all 11 cubs born to two female cats who gave birth for the first time, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment.

However, the sense of accomplishment was not a substitute for sleep, he returned to the store with one foot deep and one foot shallow, simply explained the events of last night, prepared breakfast for the elves, and immediately pulled over the quilt and fell asleep.

I didn't wake up until noon, and I didn't wake up naturally, I was woken up by the sound of a knock on the shutter door downstairs.

"Mr. Manager, Happy New Year......"

Lu Yiyun stood outside the store, wearing a brand new coat, and came to work on the first day of the new year, but Zhang Zian obviously asked her to wait until the second year of junior high school to come to work. But that's fine, he's just a little too busy.

"Happy New Year. Zhang Zi'an scratched his chicken-like messy hair and responded.

"Uh...... Did something happen?" Lu Yiyun asked in surprise, because Zhang Zi'an had already opened the door of the store at this time, and she noticed that the hygiene in the store had not been cleaned, and he looked like he had just woken up.

"I didn't ...... No, it was the Abyssinian cat who gave birth to a kitten, but last night, I didn't sleep all night. Zhang Zi'an yawned and explained briefly, "Come in, you will send a message in the official account in a while to tell everyone the good news." ”

"Ah, really?" Lu Yiyun was very surprised when he heard this, "A lot of people are very concerned about this! I'll go and see! Are the little milk cats particularly cute? How many are there?"

Saying that, she didn't have time to put down her things, so she was in a hurry to go to the shoe store to see the little milk cat.

"Wait, don't take Jasmine with you!" Zhang Zi'an called out to her.

"Oh!" Lu Yiyun untied her backpack and let Jasmine play in the store, and ran to the shoe store with her mobile phone, taking pictures of the cute state of the little milk cats drinking milk around their mother.

"That's amazing! I counted them, 11 in total?" When she came back, she said excitedly, "You delivered them alone, the store manager?"

"Sort of. ”

Zhang Zi'an said casually, he can't say that Fina helped him deliver the baby. He had just boiled the water and was about to drink tea to refresh himself, and although he was very sleepy, he couldn't sleep anymore, and there was still a lot of work in the shop.

"It's a pity...... she said regretfully, "I want to see what it looks like when I give birth to a kitten......

"It's okay, there will be more opportunities in the future, I guarantee you get tired of seeing it. Zhang Zi'an rubbed his temples, "By the way, do you know where to buy crucian carp today?"

"Crucian carp?" she repeated, "Mr. Shopkeeper wants to eat crucian carp?"

"It's not me who eats it, it's the two female cats who eat it and use it for milking. Zhang Zi'an corrected, "But today there is no one selling vegetables in the vegetable market, I don't know where to buy crucian carp, and I don't know if there are any ...... in the nearby supermarket Even if you buy fresh food online from e-commerce, it is impossible to deliver it today. ”

"Uh...... This one...... I'm so sorry, I don't know......" She replied in a embarrassed whisper.

In fact, he asked Lu Yiyun to ask the wrong person, after all, Lu Yiyun is a super otaku, every day the rental house and the pet store are two o'clock and one line, and she doesn't even know the road when she leaves this street, how can she know where to buy crucian carp?

"Forget it, I'll think of a way. Zhang Zi'an also had much hope, sighed and said: "But you must get crucian carp today, and I will go outside and visit the nearby supermarket in a while to see which one sells crucian carp." “

Lu Yiyun couldn't help, she felt uneasy, Zhang Zi'an didn't sleep all night, but she had to go out for a while, which made her feel very useless.

She sat down and turned on the computer, began to edit the official account, created a new group message, inserted photos of the Abyssinian cat cubs into the article, and her mind was still thinking about the problem just now, trying to come up with a solution.

She is responsible for this work every day, and she is already familiar with it, and soon edited the article with pictures and texts, and then she browsed the messages in the public account, replied to some customers' questions, and encountered something she didn't understand, so she asked Zhang Zi'an for advice, if Zhang Zi'an didn't understand, he would check the information and tell her.

Suddenly, she had an idea and proposed: "Mr. store manager, why don't you make an announcement on the official account and borrow a few crucian carp from everyone?"

"Borrow fish?" Zhang Zi'an's mind was not fully awake and did not understand what she meant.

"Yes, there is a lot of strength in numbers, maybe there is a crucian carp in everyone's house!" she said, "we can borrow if we can, buy if we can, and reimburse the round-trip expenses, and there will definitely be people willing to lend a hand." ”

Zhang Zi'an thought about it and felt that this proposal was feasible and the most reliable way at present, which was much better than him looking for crucian carp everywhere like a headless fly, and could save a lot of trouble. So he slapped his thigh and said, "That's a great idea!"
