Zhang Zi'an walked quickly to the Lingyu Pet Clinic against the cold wind, unaware that his character had been pitted into the ditch by Richard.

He pondered how he could use the opportunity to make a recommendation available to π.

As an elf born of the power of faith, as long as there is enough power of faith, right?

On the way, he passed by Uncle Li's snack bar and casually glanced inside. There were no customers in the store, so Uncle Li and the eldest lady sat opposite each other at a table, discussing something with a sad face.

There was a car parked in front of the Healing Pet Clinic, and he seemed to have seen it somewhere.

"Welcome to ......"

Pushing open the glass door, Long Xian, who also works as a cashier, stood in the nurse's station and lowered his head to operate the computer, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Zhang Zi'an, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Store Manager Zhang, wait a minute, Sister Xiaomeng is doing a health check for a dog." ”

Zhang Zi'an looked at the time, "How long will it take for the inspection to end?"

Different inspections take different times, and he doesn't want to wait here stupidly, anyway, it's close, if he has to wait for a long time, he might as well come again.

"It's just a routine physical exam, it should be almost over. Long Xian pointed to the chair in the waiting area, "Why don't you sit for a while, store manager?"

"No, I'll just go for a walk. ”

Zhang Zi'an has rested enough in his shop and is not tired.

The two are in a cooperative relationship, and Long Xian does not stop it, and keeps his head down and is busy with his own business.

He walked to the consultation room, and after not coming for a while, the clinic had a lot of new machines that he couldn't name. Medical equipment has always been prohibitively expensive, and these machines should cost a lot of money, and it is estimated that all the money earned is put into these devices. No way, if the equipment is not complete, many examinations and surgeries cannot be done, and customers prefer to go to large pet hospitals.

Zhang Zi'an heard Sun Xiaomeng's straight voice, she was explaining the results of the examination to a person, who turned his back to the door and couldn't see his appearance.

A cocker spaniel lies on its stomach on the table, flicking its signature pair of big ears and looking left and right.

Seeing Zhang Zi'an, it was stunned for a moment, as if it recognized him, and yelled at him.

Sun Xiaomeng stopped talking and looked at the other person at the same time.

"You're here, wait a minute, I'll be done here in a minute. She nodded to Zhang Zi'an.

Another person said with some surprise: "Store Manager Zhang, such a coincidence." ”

When he saw the cocker spaniel and the car at the door, Zhang Zi'an had already guessed his identity, which was Meng Li, who he met at the Binhai City Library not long ago.

"Hello, Mr. Meng. No classes today?, bring the dog for a check-up?" he said.

Meng Li said with relief: "Yes, it's winter vacation." The results of the examination were good, it is now 6 months old and there are still no signs of cataracts, so I am relieved. ”

"Congratulations, if you don't get sick for 6 months, the possibility of developing cataracts in the future is very small. Zhang Zi'an congratulated, "You talk about yours, don't worry about me, I'll go sit outside first." ”

He temporarily dismissed the idea of leaving, returned to the waiting area, found a chair and sat down to play with his phone.

Due to the good results of the examination, Meng Li quickly came out with a cocker spaniel, and Sun Xiaomeng followed behind in a white coat, and the stethoscope shook around her neck.

Meng Li went to the nurse's desk to find Long Xian to settle the bill, while Sun Xiaomeng came over and said to Zhang Zi'an: "I came to you to ask you for a favor." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang Zi'an put away his phone.

Sun Xiaomeng said helplessly: "You know that I have a lot of pets abandoned by their owners in this clinic, right?"

Zhang Zi'an knew about it, and he saw it when he first came to the clinic before.

After some pets get sick, the owner doesn't want them to wait for death, but they don't want to spend more money for them, so they take them to the clinic for medical treatment, and only pay the money for the first day and then don't show up again, forming a de facto abandonment.

But as Sun Xiaomeng is concerned, although he signed an agreement with the pet owner at the beginning, stipulating that if he does not come to pick up the pet within a month, the clinic will be regarded as abandoned and has the right to dispose of these pets by himself, but in practice, he does not dare to wait only for a month.

There are only two weak women in the clinic, she and Long Xian, and they can't even afford to hire a security guard, so it will be troublesome if they meet some grumpy owners.

And these abandoned pets are not expensive breeds, they are generally ordinary native dogs and cats, or skewers of breeds of cats and dogs, even if they are sold after a month, they are not worth much, and no one may buy them at all.

They have been kept in the clinic for a long time, eating, drinking, and lazing, which has invisibly increased the operating costs of the clinic.

Sun Xiaomeng explained what she meant, her clinic will be closed during the Spring Festival, she and Long Xian have to go back to their hometown, the clinic is unattended, these pets are unattended, she wants to temporarily store them in Zhang Zi'an's shop, and then bring them back after the holiday.

This is just a trivial matter for him, and besides, she has also helped Zhang Zi'an foster pets before, so he agreed.

"I'll let Wang Qian and Li Kun ride a tricycle over tomorrow. He said.

"Okay, then I'll bother you. Sun Xiaomeng let go of a matter of concern, and was busy for more than half a year, and he could finally go back to his hometown to relax during the Spring Festival.

Meng Li had already finished settling the bill, and he nodded at Zhang Zi'an with a cocker spaniel, and was about to leave first.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Meng. Zhang Zi'an hurriedly stood up and stopped him, and asked Sun Xiaomeng again: "Is there anything else?"

"It's gone. Sun Xiaomeng shook his head, "You go and get busy with you." ”

Zhang Zi'an motioned to Meng Li, "Teacher Meng, let's go out together." ”

Meng Li guessed that he was looking for something for himself, but he didn't know what it was, thinking that it was related to Cocker Spaniel, after all, he reminded himself that Cocker Spaniel might suffer from hereditary cataracts when he bought a dog.

They left the pet clinic one after the other.

It was dark early in winter, and it was almost evening, the sun was listlessly hanging near the horizon, and the cold wind was tight.

"Teacher Meng, do you have time now? I want to take a step to speak, and I want to ask for advice if I have a question. Zhang Zi'an said.

Meng Li nodded, "There is time." Store Manager Zhang, you are too polite, if you have any questions, I can help you refer to it, and you don't dare to take the word 'advice'. ”

"Thanks, let's find a place to sit for a while. ”

It was too cold to stand outside, and Zhang Zi'an's question could not be explained clearly in a few words. He looked around, it was approaching the Spring Festival, many shops were closed, and the place around where he could sit was Uncle Li's snack bar.

Zhang Zi'an led the way in front, and the two entered the snack bar.

After taking his seat, he asked bluntly, "Mr. Meng, when I was in the library that day, how did you guess to find the book about life, the universe and everything I mentioned?"
