Chapter 1 Sunshine Pet Shop

Next Chapter

Haijiao City is a large tourist city in the south of China, which is surrounded by the sea on all sides, with beautiful scenery and spring all year round.

The temperature is 267 degrees Celsius all year round, and the air is extremely fresh, which is not only a pure land for locals to live, but also a holy place in the hearts of tourists.

In this kind of large tourist city, there are many locals who live by renting, of course, the rent here is not low, and Liu Chang is one of the many tenants.

And he is also one of the few locals who needs to live on a rented house.

However, this situation can only be maintained to this day.

Liu Chang packed up the salute, sighed helplessly, looked around, and frowned slightly.

"Xiaoqiang? Where did you go? We have to go, or the landlord will have to rush us later. ”

As soon as Liu Chang's words fell, an earthy yellow puppy walked over slowly.

In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is a puppy, it is about 80 centimeters long, which is considered a large dog.

As for its breed Liu Chang is unknown, it looks a bit like a common Chinese pastoral dog, but its neck has a circle of long hair similar to that of a lion, and its teeth are also unusually sharp.

Xiaoqiang is a stray dog that Liu Chang took in a month ago, Xiaoqiang was very dirty at that time, and there was a hind leg that was not very good, and it was likely that he was beaten.

Liu Chang saw that it was pitiful, so he adopted it, he liked small animals very much, and even longed to be an animal trainer in the past.

He knows that stray cats and dogs are generally afraid of humans, and even hate humans, although Xiaoqiang looks a little scary, but this guy is unusually docile.

Not only that, but what surprised Liu Chang even more was that Xiaoqiang seemed to be able to fully understand his words, and he could do everything that Liu Chang asked him to do.

In this regard, Liu Chang's own explanation is that Xiaoqiang was afraid of being beaten by others outside, and he learned to observe words and feelings.

Soon, Xiaoqiang became Liu Chang's good partner and only partner.

Liu Chang is an orphan, grew up in a private orphanage in Haijiao City, and was admitted to a local second-rate university with the financial support of the old dean.

After all, in this environment, it is difficult to find a reliable job without a skill and a strong academic background.

There was only 1,000 yuan left in the bank card, and the landlord's eldest sister came here early in the morning to collect rent, but after seeing Xiaoqiang in the house, she immediately became angry.

From 800 yuan a month, it rose directly to 2,000 yuan a month, on the grounds that dogs are not allowed in her house, and if she wants to continue to live here at the original price, she must drive Xiaoqiang away.

Although Liu Chang was depressed, he couldn't say anything, after all, this house belonged to the landlord, and they had the right to make such a decision.

It is absolutely impossible for him to give up Xiaoqiang, and he can't bear to watch Xiaoqiang live that kind of precarious life where everyone bullies him again.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Chang chose to leave,

kept stroking Xiaoqiang's head and said softly.

"Xiaoqiang, let's go! Brother will take you to the end of the world. ”

After speaking, Liu Chang sang slowly.

"Children who have left home, wandering outside, without good clothes or good cigarettes. It's hard to find a job..."

"Wangwang!"

Xiao Qiang's scream interrupted Liu Chang, and the two big eyes looked at him with some dissatisfaction, looking extremely humane.

"Alright, got it. Damn, it's that ugly..."

sighed, very dissatisfied that it didn't know how to 'appreciate'.

In order to prevent Xiaoqiang from scaring passers-by, Liu Chang tied it to a chain, patted its head, and said with a smile.

"Everything will be fine, let's find a flyover cave and make do for a few nights. When my brother finds a job, let's rent a house for dogs. ”

The door was locked, the key was placed on the door frame, Liu Chang dragged the suitcase with one hand and Xiaoqiang with the other, and walked out of the community.

Standing on the sidewalk, looking at the vehicles coming and going, he felt a little emotional, and suddenly remembered what Boss Guo said in his mind.

"Damn, the world is so big, where is my place!"

Taking out his phone, he was ready to go through all the job search software on his phone again.

However, seven or eight job search software flipped down, and there was still no interview invitation, and at the last one, Liu Chang was attracted by a message.

On April 10, 2016, your resume has been viewed for an interview.

Sunshine Pet Shop, recruiting a store manager, salary of 3,000 yuan a month, packaged.

There is no limit to academic qualifications, it is required to be caring, like small animals, hard-working, and can do it for a long time.

Those who have adopted stray pets are preferred, and those who can be trained as simple pets are preferred.

Address: North of Zhongshan Snack Street, Haijiao City.

Phone: 138XXXX.

Contact: Ms. Zhou.

The simple information made Liu Chang's eyes shine, and this kind of work was a dream job for Liu Chang.

Although 3,000 yuan is not much a month, it is not only covered here, but also can stay with small pets every day.

Liu Chang hurriedly dialed the number above, looking forward to it in his heart.

The phone was quickly connected, and a nice voice came into Liu Chang's ears.

"Hey, hello, this is the Sunshine Pet Shop."

"Hello, my name is Liu Chang, may I ask if we are recruiting a store manager here, right? It shows that I have been given an interview, when will I be interviewed? ”

"Well, that's right. If you're free, you can come here for an interview right now. ”

Liu Chang was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly said.

"Okay, I'll go over now, I'll see you later."

"Okay, see you later."

Hanging up the phone, Liu Chang was a little excited, a song in Hokkien, the road to the sky, blurted out.

"If you are willing to endure hardships and hardships, there is no endless way for people to live, and the young man is confused for a while to come to the dark road of pedestrians..."

After being self-absorbed for a long time, Liu Changcai patted Xiaoqiang, who didn't even want to look at him, and said happily.

"Brother, brother must seize this opportunity to find a stable home for us."

Although he disliked Liu Chang's singing voice very much, Xiao Qiang still shouted twice in support, and the two big round eyes actually completed the crescent shape, as if he was smiling at Liu Chang.

Liu Chang didn't pay attention to Xiaoqiang's smiling behavior, he had to hurry up to the interview now, so as not to be robbed of this position by others.

Because it was inconvenient to take Xiaoqiang in the car, and the road was not far, he simply trotted over with his suitcase.

There was not too much traffic along the way, and half an hour later, Liu Chang finally came to the target location, the north of Zhongshan Xiaoshi Street.

There is a small open space here, next to the road, is a small two-story building.

The small building doesn't look big, the surrounding walls are pasted with orange tiles, and between the first and second floors, a sign reads 'Sunshine Pet Shop', which looks very warm as a whole.

Liu Chang patted Xiaoqiang, strode to the entrance of the store, looked inside through the transparent glass door, and there was a counter facing the door, the left side of the counter was a staircase, and the right side against the wall was a shelf full of various pet supplies.

Pushed open the door and walked in with Xiaoqiang, all kinds of small pets in the cage let Liu Chang sweep away the haze, and he liked it at once.

At the same time, a beautiful figure walked down from the second floor.

On the stairs was a young girl, not very tall, wearing a light blue casual suit, the girl was very good-looking, with a pair of charming dimples on her slightly pink face, and a pair of smart big eyes flashing one after another, the girl saw Liu Chang and Xiaoqiang at a glance.

"Hello, do you need to see anything?"

"Hello beauty, my name is Liu Chang, I am here to interview the store manager, are you Ms. Zhou?"

After hearing this, the girl smiled, came to Liu Chang's side, and pointed at Xiaoqiang with a smile.

"You are Liu Chang, hello, hello. My name is Zhou Qiqi, what breed is your dog? It's so special. ”

Xiaoqiang seemed to be able to understand the girl's words, and his big head slowly leaned over.

The girl was a little scared, but she still stretched out her little hand and touched Xiaoqiang.

"Don't be afraid, it won't bite, it's called Xiaoqiang, it's a stray dog I adopted, I don't know what breed it is, I checked it on the Internet, there is no breed of dog similar to Xiaoqiang, maybe it's a string."

As soon as Liu Chang's words fell, Xiaoqiang immediately shouted at Liu Chang twice dissatisfied.

"Yikes! It seems to understand us. ”

Xiaoqiang's cry immediately caused a response from the small animals in the cage of the pet store, and for a while, in the pet store, cats barked and dogs barked one after another, and even the gray parrot in the corner flapped its wings and made a piercing chirp.

Xiao Qiang looked a little excited, it is estimated that if Liu Chang hadn't dragged it tightly, it would have rushed up to mingle with these 'kind' people a long time ago.

Finally quieted down, Liu Chang smiled at the girl.

"Xiaoqiang is much smarter than the average dog, he can almost understand our conversation, he can feel my emotions, and I don't know what's going on. By the way, here's my resume. ”

Liu Chang took out a long-printed resume from the suitcase and handed it to Zhou Qiqi.

Zhou Qiqi nodded, rubbed Xiaoqiang's head lovingly, and took Liu Chang's resume.

"It's good, I've seen it on the Internet before, and I'm very happy with your situation."

Zhou Qiqi took a brief look, put her resume on the counter, and said to Liu Chang.

"I'm in a special situation, I'm not a local, and I opened this shop when I was in college. But I'm going to leave in two days, going to school abroad, about two to three years, and I don't have any relatives here, so I can only find a store manager, can you do it for a long time? ”

Liu Chang was stunned after hearing this, studying abroad? And then the store is left to myself?

"I can do it, but you are gone, and I am alone in this store, can you rest assured? Besides, there are so many little guys here, in case they get sick or something, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of them! ”

"What's not to worry about? There is also a college student in the store who works part-time, and he will come over every afternoon, and the things in the store mainly depend on the two of you. Also, my girlfriend occasionally comes over to help out at the pet store, she just graduated and studied veterinary medicine. If there is anything unusual about your pets, you can always contact my girlfriend. ”

Liu Chang nodded, after all, he doesn't know much about pets now, after all, he has only raised Xiaoqiang and a dog, and he has hardly had much contact with the others.

"That's good, so that the health of the pets is guaranteed."

"Well, I think it's pretty good, too. By the way, you still need an assessment, wait a minute! ”

After speaking, Zhou Qiqi walked to the open space, and in a small cage, she lightly took out a white pom-pom.

The reason why it is said to be a pom-pom is because this little guy is bulging on the one hand, and on the other hand, its hair is too long.

The moment the pom-pom-like little animal came out, Liu Chang and Xiaoqiang's eyes were instantly attracted.

The little one was covered with thick silk-like hair, his ears were V-shaped, and he was covered with hair, except for the short hair near his nose and mouth, and even his big, gardeny eyes were covered with hair.

"It's called Amy, and it's three months now. Originated in Turkey, it has the dual certification certificates of the British Rabbit Association and the American Rabbit Breeding Association, and belongs to the purest breed of British Angora rabbits. What do you think? Isn't it cute? ”

Zhou Qiqi gently stroked Amy and said with a smile at Liu Chang.

"Your interview is very simple, just teach him how to go to the toilet in three days. However, you have to be careful, Amy is very fragile, his bones are more brittle than cats, so you have to watch her a little bit and don't let him go too high. ”

After saying that, Zhou Qiqi put Amy on the ground and let it move freely for a while.

"Are there any tricks? I've never had a rabbit. ”

Zhou Qiqi thought for a while and said.

"Rabbit and kittens and puppies are different, it likes to be quiet, and the courage is not too big, when you usually play with it, you should pay attention to it, you can't suddenly pull it, pull it, that will make it frightened, causing its diet, life to become abnormal, which will be very bad for the health of the rabbit. You have to learn to be friends with it, it will like you very quickly, and it will be easier to teach it then. ”

Zhou Qiqi looked at Amy, who was lying on the ground and looked at Xiaoqiang, and smiled sweetly.

"When Bunny makes a mistake, you must catch it on the spot, and then you have to scold it softly and snub it for a while, so that it knows that it is wrong. Don't just scold it and hug it again, it won't tell if you're angry or playing with it. Then, if it does something right, you can reward it with rabbit food. But don't give him too much food at once! Bunnies are greedy, but they don't know how to be full. ”

Zhou Qiqi walked into the small warehouse next to the stairs, and for a while held a pale yellow basin bottom, white plastic net, which was covered with cat litter.

"This is a special toilet for rabbits, just put this in the cage, when you see Amy has the will to poop, you must carry it to this toilet, let it develop good habits, and then reward it with a rabbit food, so that it will know that it is right to go to the toilet here, and a few times, it will slowly poop on its own. If Bunny poops somewhere else and you don't notice it at the time, you can't scold him anymore, it doesn't have that connection. ”

Liu Chang carefully wrote down every word of Zhou Qiqi, it seems that raising a small pet is not as simple as imagined.

"By the way, I want to ask, can rabbits drink water? I remember reading it on the Internet before, saying that rabbits are not allowed to drink water, and if they drink it, they will die, right? ”

Zhou Qiqi frowned after hearing this, and said dissatisfiedly.

"Don't listen to the nonsense of those people, how can any mammal not need to drink water? I don't know which person who doesn't understand Tutu has sent random information on the Internet, and it has been passed on for so long. Well, I'll give you a book about animals, and you'll study it when the time comes. It's very helpful for you to be this pet store manager, actually..."

Zhou Qiqi suddenly stopped as he spoke, and his small mouth immediately turned into an 'O' shape, because he found that the chain tied to Xiao Qiang's neck didn't know when it fell, and Xiao Qiang was walking towards Amy.
