Winter gets dark early, and Zhang Zi'an has almost just taken a nap on the recliner when the sun has sunk near the horizon.

There are not many customers on the weekend, the pet store is quiet, Lao Cha's TV is very quiet, Lu Yiyun is writing hard outside, Fina is wagging her tail and falling asleep, Snow Lion is napping and talking in her sleep, muttering about something "castrated and then chopped into pieces and salad" and other things that are extremely scary, even Xinghai, who has always been energetic, is napping with his head, as for Richard...... Zhang Zi'an woke up from a nap and remembered that this cheap bird was still hanging upside down on the second floor.

Pemmas was lying on the side of his recliner and slept deeply, after all, it was too tired this time and should have a good rest.

Wang Qian and Li Kun didn't come here today, they were busy with the final exams like every temporary college student, and after the exams, they were relieved - provided that there was no task to make up the exams. Zhang Zi'an deeply doubted that these two patients with secondary two diseases, who were obsessed with irrigation and cultivating immortals all day long, could pass a few ......

It's the end of December, and it's Christmas and New Year's Day in a few days. But these two festivals shouldn't have anything to do with him as a single dog, right?

No, it doesn't matter!

Zhang Zi'an had an idea and thought of a good way to increase turnover and punish street lovers - on Christmas Eve and on the day, the price of various pets and pet supplies was temporarily increased by 20%, and those foolish boyfriends were responsible for paying anyway.

He pondered and pondered, and always felt that this method was good, and he was very happy in his heart, and he wanted to share it with someone, but looking left and right, everyone was sleeping, so he had to give up.

The veteran police dog Zhan Tian curled up in the corner of the store, raising his head vigilantly at the slightest disturbance, as if he might run away at any time. Zhang Zi'an glanced at it and thought about how to make it better.

Idle and bored, he sent a message to Sun Xiaomeng, asking her how to treat animals with PTSD, and of course sent a red envelope along with the question.

Despite the pain, the consultation fee still has to be paid. The pets in Zhang Zi'an's store are more expensive than other places, because he has the confidence to choose the right pet for customers, relying on his mind full of knowledge about pets, and the price of pets includes the price of knowledge. Similarly, Sun Xiaomeng's knowledge should not be free.

Sun Xiaomeng smiled at the red envelope, the answer is very simple - China's research on animal PTSD is just beginning, and there are not many medicines suitable for animals, but there are still treatments, that is, the owner accompanies the exercise, whether it is a person or an animal, exercise is the best medicine to relieve the mood, and help animals rebuild their dependence and confidence on humans during exercise.

Exercise......

Zhang Zi'an stared at the screen of his mobile phone and pondered, in this way, hide and seek should also be a kind of sport, he chose to play hide and seek with Xinghai, which happened to be in line with the treatment of PTSD, so that it could rebuild its dependence and confidence in humans, thus unlocking its real name, which can be regarded as shit luck.

As soon as the sun sets, it gets cold in the house, and you may catch a cold if you lie down again. He rubbed his sour eyes and set aside the breeding manual that Cathy had left behind. I was very energetic at noon, but when I looked at the dense cobweb-like pedigree in this manual, I became sleepy, and I fell asleep before I knew it.

He turned up the power of the electric heater by a gear, stretched out and got up from the recliner to get some air outside the store.

When I opened the door, a cold breeze came in. Lu Yiyun glanced up at him, then lowered her head and continued to paint, Jasmine lay on her lap to warm her like a baby.

It wasn't time to get off work yet, but a few elementary school students who had left school early ran all the way with their schoolbags and swept past the store.

Zhang Zi'an's clothes were relatively thin, and he shivered in the wind, and his sleepiness suddenly flew out of the clouds, and he was about to hurry back to the store to warm up, when he heard a voice as crisp as a yellow bird shouting: "Wow! It's the store manager's brother! Long time no see!"

When he looked back, it turned out to be a small celery.

Little celery was wearing an orange down jacket, which reflected her little face red with the setting sun. She glared at Zhang Zi'an in surprise and greeted him from afar.

"Little celery, long time no see. He smiled and waved, "School?"

Little Celery was home with another little girl, and they were holding hands and seemed to be in a good relationship.

The girl wore glasses at a young age, combed her short hair to her ears, pursed her lips tightly, and her expression was serious and serious, she looked like a model student, which inexplicably reminded Zhang Zi'an of Sun Xiaomeng, probably because they were full of indescribable academic temperament......

Little Celery pulled her towards Zhang Zi'an, and she stared at Zhang Zi'an suspiciously, her face full of vigilance, as if she was looking at some kind of pervert - to be honest, this kind of gaze hurt him very much.

"Brother manager, good evening!"

When she ran to the door of the pet store, Little Celery stopped and greeted. I haven't seen her for a while, but she is still full of vitality and vitality.

"Good evening, little celery, is this your classmate?" Zhang Zi'an replied and asked.

"Well, she is a new transfer to our school, her name is Wang Yaning, she is good at studying, and she will become the biology committee member of our class as soon as she transfers!" Xiao Celery spoke quickly, and her voice was as crisp and sharp as fried beans.

"Oh, Wang Yaning, hello. My name is Zhang Zi'an and I am the manager of this pet store. Zhang Zi'an tried his best to show a harmless appearance of humans and animals to say hello.

The young Wang Yaning pushed his glasses and asked seriously, "Are you Lolicon?"

"Not really!"

The impactful burst of words almost made Zhang Zi'an unable to hold on, he really doubted where this elementary school bully heard this term.

"That's fine, but I don't believe it. Wang Yaning said coldly, "I will keep an eye on you, if you dare to make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, I will call the police directly." ”

She reached out of her pocket, holding a smartphone in her hand, and had already pressed the three digits 110, and she was close to pressing the "dial" button.

Why do elementary school students have mobile phones now?

Zhang Zi'an is desperate for this world where he will call the police if he doesn't agree with him.

Little Celery blinked and asked suspiciously, "What is Lolicon?"

"Little celery doesn't need to know. Zhang Zi'an hurriedly changed the topic, "By the way, is Little Celery passing by from school?"

The simple little celery was really easy to be fooled, she forgot the topic just now, shook her pigtail and said, "No, I came here with Siyi on purpose today." ”

"That's right...... Let's go in and talk about it, it's cold outside. Zhang Zi'an pointed to the room, trying to stay away from Wang Yaning's time bomb.

"Wow, Yaning, I'll show you about Xiaoling and Ears!" Xiao Celery pulled Wang Yaning to the store and pushed the door in.

Wang Yaning was a little hesitant at first, but when she saw Lu Yiyun, who was painting silently behind the cash register, she was somewhat relieved and followed behind Xiao Celery vigilantly.

After they entered, Zhang Zi looked around with peace of mind, praying in his heart that no one would take Wang Yaning's words seriously, otherwise his reputation would be in vain. Fortunately, there are no people on the road nearby.

Although she was misunderstood by Wang Yaning, on the other hand, this is actually a good thing - Xiao Celery is too simple, and the current society is too complicated, Zhang Zi'an is very worried that she will be deceived, and it will be much safer to have a little adult like Wang Yaning who is very vigilant next to her.

He followed into the store, saw that the little celery had already greeted Lu Yiyun, and ran to the hamster cage and lop-eared rabbit display cabinet in the room, pulling Wang Yaning to say something excitedly.

During the time when Zhang Zi'an went to the crew to make movies, because he went out early every morning to rush to Binhai Film and Television City, Xiao Celery could only see Lu Yiyun in the store, and with her innocent and cheerful personality, she became familiar with Lu Yiyun as soon as she came and went.

Wang Yaning is a little girl no matter how she is, she entered the pet store for the first time, and saw the kittens chasing and playing all over the ground and the puppies staring at the wet and big eyes in the display case, she opened her mouth wide in surprise, and unconsciously put down the mobile phone, feeling that her eyes were not enough.

Little Celery chirps about hamsters and lop-eared rabbits, how cute they are, and how they can talk.

Wang Yaning, as the biology committee member of the class and a candidate for a top student, of course didn't believe that hamsters and lop-eared rabbits could talk, but she was more precocious and didn't refute her good friends, but just responded absentmindedly.

Zhang Zi'an squatted next to the electric heater to warm his hands, and did not disturb their conversation, until Xiao Celery waved his hand and called him over, he walked over slowly.

Wang Yaning's eyes were like sharp blades, making him stop automatically when he reached a safe distance, and asked, "What's wrong, little celery?"

Little Celery said happily: "Brother store manager, our class wants to raise some hamsters and rabbits!"

"Raise hamsters and rabbits, why?" asked Zhang Zi'an, puzzled.

"Hmm...... Hmmm......" Xiao Celery was flushed, and she didn't say a reason for a long time, she took Wang Yaning's hand and asked her friend for help: "Yaning, come on, I can't tell you clearly." ”

Wang Yaning coughed lightly and said solemnly: "According to the overall arrangement of the Municipal Education Commission, our school is preparing to set up breeding interest clubs and animal breeding classes in the new semester on an experimental basis, and is soliciting the opinions of students and parents to see what kind of animals they want to raise." Some people say that they raise chickens and ducks, some people say that they raise dogs and cats, Cai Xiaoqin ......"

"Just call me Celery! My friends call me that!" interrupted Celery.

Wang Yaning was not used to changing her words: "Little celery, classmate ......"

Burst!

Zhang Zi'an couldn't help laughing. How good it is to call Xiao Celery directly, she still has to add a classmate, and I don't know who she learned from this one-eyed character.

Wang Yaning glared at him and continued: "Little Celery's classmate advocates raising hamsters and rabbits, and highly recommends you here, so I came with her to have a look...... But you seem to be full of cats and dogs, just these two hamsters and rabbits?"

"They're Ling and Ears!" corrected Celery.

Wang Yaning hesitated for a moment, then changed her words and said, "Only Xiaoling and ears?"

"So that's the case...... Zhang Zi'an understood their intentions, "Although I only have cats and dogs here, if you want hamsters and rabbits, I can buy some for you." ”

He didn't know if the hamsters and rabbits at the pet home had been sold out, and he could help them inquire if they wanted to.

"We haven't decided what to raise yet, and we don't necessarily want to buy it from you. Wang Yaning emphasized, "Just to investigate." ”

"Brother shopkeeper, what do you think is good to raise?" asked Celery, who asked with a stumbling eye, hoping that he would answer the question of raising hamsters and rabbits.

Zhang Zi'an thought for a while, and replied as Xiao Celery expected: "If you choose one of these types, I suggest you raise hamsters and rabbits." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he noticed a pinprick-like glare from Fina's direction. Fortunately, he is thick-skinned and doesn't care.

With Zhang Zi'an's support, Xiao Celery cheered happily, while Wang Yaning frowned and asked, "Why?"

To say why, Zhang Zi'an tried to think about it from the position of the Education Commission, and the Municipal Education Commission decided to set up breeding interest clubs and animal breeding classes experimentally, which is generally for the purpose of cultivating children's love from an early age, understanding and getting close to nature, and enhancing the sense of responsibility in the process of taking care of small animals. However, there is a default premise, that is, raising small animals should not interfere too much with children's learning, otherwise there will be great resistance from parents.

He explained: "There are many reasons, for example - cats and dogs are not suitable for many people to raise together, they recognize their owners, and they are more suitable for living in a family. Other than that...... There are also security issues. ”

Cat owners rarely have not been scratched by cats, and dogs will occasionally be bitten, if it is their own cats and dogs, it is fine, if it is a public cat and dog, once the scratch bites the child, the parents will definitely fry.

Xiao Celery didn't understand, but Wang Yaning seemed to understand, and said, "What about the chicken and duck?"

"Chickens and ducks are also not suitable because their cries are noisy and disturb the peace of the campus. In contrast, rabbits have no vocal cords, and hamsters have a small cry that does not cause disgust among teachers and neighbors. When Zhang Zi'an said this, he asked rhetorically: "Are you just breeding?

"Yes. Wang Yaning nodded, "Don't underestimate us!"

"Okay...... If you breed, you shouldn't keep chickens and ducks, because they are ......"

"Oviparous?" Wang Yaning interjected.

Zhang Zi'an was impressed by this little girl, she really deserved to be a biology commissioner, recalling that when she was in elementary school, she once replied that chickens and ducks were "egg-born...... It's hard to look back on.

"Yes, oviparous mammals are not as easy to reproduce as viviparous mammals, you know?" he said.

"Don't underestimate me!" Wang Yaning frowned, "Actually, I also agree to raise hamsters and rabbits, but I haven't thought about what to raise for the time being." ”

Zhang Zi'an felt that if she frowned so often, she would definitely have forehead wrinkles early.

"In that case, I can give you some advice. He said.
