Chapter 16: Pet Parker
Jason wrapped his wand in a cardboard box, carefully placed it in his backpack, and then hugged it firmly, even begging from Chrees. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Stingy." Chrese muttered incessantly.
As the group walked out of the wand shop, Jason couldn't wait to pull his mother to buy a pet. However, because of their age, the Browns felt very tired after a long day, so they decided to go to a nearby café to rest for a while. Krees, who had been full of enthusiasm since the morning, was also listless at this time, and fell asleep after lying on Ye Chen's back for a while. So Ye Chen had to carry Kress and Brown to the coffee house to rest first.
Ross Cafe, a small coffee house located on the right side of Gringotts. The heavy stone walls and hardwood furniture in the store block out the noise of the outside world, and it feels very quiet as soon as you enter.
A soft cushion was placed on the wooden bench and Chreese was gently placed on it. Mrs. Lisa carefully arranged Chrissy's hair and placed a pillow under her head.
"Gentlemen and ladies, what do you want to drink?" The waiter asked softly.
Looking at the order that the waiter brought over. There are not only all kinds of coffee, but also many drinks that I have never heard of, such as strange bean hot drink, dragon's blood coffee and other unique things. However, Ye Chen didn't try these in the end, but just asked for a cup of coffee like Maen.
"Wizards' stuff is always so interesting, and I remember that Ellie used to bring back a lot of food that we hadn't seen before." Mr. Marne said with a smile as he leaned back in his chair. "Once she took a bag of snacks called Bibi Duowei Beans for us to taste, and looking at those colorful little things, I really didn't know what kind of taste we could eat in one bite."
It seems that Mr. Marne could not stop talking about Alina's school days, and the food, shelter, and living habits of the wizards, although not what he had seen with his own eyes, could always be said in the first place.
Ye Chen supported Mr. Ma's introduction, this old man can describe anything very interestingly, so that Ye Chen is very happy after resting. Suddenly, he heard a sound of "woo~~~woo".
Turning their heads to look for the source of the sound, there was a cardboard box on the counter near their table, and a puppy that seemed to be only a few months old was trying to lie on the edge of the cardboard box, constantly climbing up but unable to climb up, only whining in bursts.
This is a light yellow pug, only the face and ear tips are black, it is very interesting that its face is always like frowning, Ye Chen knows that this kind of dog will have more wrinkles on his face when he grows up, a very "melancholy" dog.
"Why did you raise a puppy here, it doesn't look like much." Ye Chen pulled the waiter who was passing by and asked.
"Well, this poor puppy has been abandoned here by his owner for many days," the waiter looked a little helpless, "at first I thought that the guest had accidentally forgotten here, but after many days, no one came to look for it, and our boss was worried about what to do with it." ”
Ye Chen looked at the puppy lying on the edge of the cardboard box, it stared at Ye Chen with its round little eyes, and its aggrieved and melancholy expression made Ye Chen feel more and more happy the more he looked at it.
"Man, tell your boss if I can adopt this puppy?" Ye Chen decided to adopt it and suggested to the waiter.
"Okay, I'll go ask the boss, there should be no problem, as long as you can treat this puppy well." The waiter replied happily and walked behind the counter.
After a while, a fat man walked out next to the waiter.
"Hello, sir, I'm Rose." The chubby boss held his stomach and introduced himself. "I heard Michelle say you want to adopt this puppy."
"Hello, Mr. Rose." Ye Chen reached out and shook Rose's hand, "My name is Ye Chen, and I'm glad to rest in your shop." I love this puppy so much that I don't know if I can adopt it. ”
"I'm so glad someone adopted this poor little one. I need to know your address, though, and I'll have to make sure I can get in touch with it if its original owner comes looking for it; I'm going to make sure you treat this puppy well, and I'll let Michelle make sure it's going to live. Can you accept it? ”
"No problem, you can leave it to me with confidence." Ye Chen understood that Rose's request was not deliberately harsh, but to find a better home for the puppy, so as not to be abandoned again.
Leaving his address to the shopkeeper, Ye Chen returned to his seat with the carton in his arms.
"Oh~ Ye, you brought us back a little cutie." Ma En looked at the puppy in Ye Chen's arms and said with a smile.
As if sensing Ye Chen's kindness, the little pug in his arms was lying there, stretching out his little tongue and licking Ye Chen's hand incessantly. But no matter how happy it looks, it's a little melancholy.
"That's right, Ye. If you have a pet in your rented house, it's a good idea to explain this to the landlord in advance and then go to the pet hospital for a check-up. Also, you name it. "There are also many things to pay attention to when adopting a pet here, so Ma reminded Ye Chen to notify the landlord first.
"Well, I know, I'll do these things when I get back to Liverpool." Ye Chen thought about Ma and nodded, "If it's a name, let's call it Parker." ”
The young Parker didn't know that the name was given to him at this time, and he was still lying in Ye Chen's arms, spreading his two hind legs and raising them high, curling up his front paws on his chest, and falling asleep with his head on his side.
For about half an hour, Ye Cong and Alina took Jason into the coffee house, and in Jason's hand was holding a small birdcage, in which stood an owl with brown and black feathers, it seemed that Jason's hand was always dangling, and the owl was holding the wooden pole tightly.
Jason, who was carrying a small cage, jumped in front of Ye Chen, proudly holding the cage for everyone to see his new partner.
"Uncle, look at my owl, it's pretty." As he was talking, he saw Parker in the cardboard box beside Ye Chen. "Puppy, uncle, whose puppy is this?"
"This was just adopted from the store." Ye Chen told Ye Cong about Parker again, looking at the sleeping Parker, its petite appearance was also very popular with everyone.
"Mom, I want to have a puppy too." Jason looked back at his mom and shook her hand.
"No, Jason. You already have an owl and you need to take care of it, we won't take care of it for you, you need to do it yourself. Alina rejected Jason's request, believing that children have pets not only for play, but more importantly to be able to grow while taking care of them.
Ye Chen proposed to keep Parker in the eldest brother's house, but Ye Cong vetoed it, there was a chubby shorthair cat Ruth at home, and Kreese liked to run around the house with it, making a mess of the room, and they really didn't want another pet.
When they bought their pets, they went to the clothing store to retrieve Jason's costume, so they left the coffee house and headed to the Weasley trick shop.
On the way back, everyone had something in their hands, the sleeping Kreese was lying on her father's back, Ye Chen was holding the cardboard box containing Parker, and even Jason was carrying his owl in his hand.
Walking through the Weasley trick shop again, Jason was too tired to stay here any longer, so he walked straight through the store and climbed the stairs back to another appliance shop. In the afternoon, Mr. Weasley did not work, but sat on a chair to rest, and when he saw Ye Chen's group returning, he quickly got up and helped bring things to the door, and helped call a taxi.
