Episode 25
Not only does the child like to keep her pet in this shop, but she also encourages her friends to put their pets here with the chickens, and then compete with whose pet has the best food and accommodation conditions! Due to the low consumption here, her family will allow everything as long as she doesn't make trouble, and she is an absolute VIP customer~.
The woman called several times but still did not get a response, so she had to go door to door and alley to look for her.
This woman's name is Ma Lanlan, and she is the daughter of Leng Xiaomei's neighbor on the right, the tailor Lao Ma Cai. She has a brother and a sister, and they are already married! And all of them live in the downtown of the magic capital, and they are too lazy to return to this quiet and ancient street all year round.
Ma Lanlan is the last at home and is twenty-nine years old this year. She is slender and thin, similar to Leng Xiaomei, and is another leftover girl on this street. However, because the rumors about Chi Ling, the "Golden Leftover Fighter", are blocking the rumors in front of her, and now there is another thirty-one-year-old Leng Xiaomei on top of her eyebrows, so she is not under much pressure. The pressure from her parents is not very great, and they continue to let her develop freely, and they don't care about her almost every day by pulling her throat on the side of the road.
Of course, the reason why Ma Lanlan yelled like this was not her intention.
The pet shop where she works...... It's kind of weird! The pet store outside is full of expensive cats and sky-high dogs, and this pet store has all kinds of small animals! For example, Ma Lanlan, one of the clerks just now, roared at the runaway chickens, and there were many ducklings, sparrows, and turtles in the cage...... Almost all of these little things are caught from the wild, and they are wild, and if you are not careful, you will lose one.
The other two clerks in the store are very young, not as patient as her, and they know how to shirk their responsibilities, and almost all of the lost animals were found by Ma Lanlan!
Over time, the loud street shrew that destroyed her image was born!
There is no way, the people here are all small families, and the richest people live in the thirteen-story residential buildings in the back streets, and those small animals are their children. Those children have small pets at school when they see other children at home, but they don't have them, and they feel lost in their hearts, low self-esteem, and self-loathing.
In order for their children to grow up healthy and lively, parents with moderate financial conditions have to go to the market or the suburbs to buy some small animals and come back to coax them.
Fortunately, people who can set up shops on this street usually have their own doorsteps and do not have to pay rent, so it is not rare to have expensive animals to maintain the store's expenses. And the owner of this pet shop is a veterinarian, ancestral, passed down from generation to generation, and this shop has been open for more than 50 years and is still going on.
Today's generation of shopkeepers is a young man, a returnee who has crossed the ocean to drink ink and come back willing to nest in this old street to earn a dime or two.
Leng Xiaomei had seen him a few times, a young man in his twenties who wore glasses. I heard that his medical skills are slightly better than those of his parents and grandfathers, and he has a love for small animals, so the neighbors of several old streets are happy to bring pets to his shop.
His business is quite good, and he has hired three clerks to help, and Ma Lanlan is one of them.
"Hey, Xiaomei, did you see my chick passing by here?" Ma Lanlan, who was wearing a light green apron and combing her bangs, hurriedly stood at the door of Leng's house, and looked like she came in immediately after receiving an affirmative answer.
Leng Xiaomei shook her head, "I didn't see it." ”
Ma Lanlan sighed, and was about to leave, when suddenly the corner of his eye slanted to the Bible, and he couldn't help but snort coldly, and walked in with his feet raised.
"Then the Bible was given to you by the frozen girl?" Without waiting for the host's house to greet her, she had already sat down with a big slash, brushed her bangs, and asked politely at all, "Is there any tea?" I'm dying of thirst. "I yelled for a long time, and my throat was smoking.
"Oh, yes." Leng Xiaomei didn't mind, and put the book on the table. She has a water dispenser in this hall, so she can make any tea she wants, and she poured a cup of red date tea for Ma Lanlan.
"Thank you." Ma Lanlan took it, and then raised his head to drink. obviously has a gentle and gentle face like a small jasper, but the acquired one is raised crooked like a firecracker, like a locomotive, and more like a man's temperament.
After drinking the tea, she picked up the clean corner of her apron and wiped her mouth crisply, and then with a sincere face, her eyes patted Leng Xiaomei's shoulder quite seriously, "That frozen girl is very hypocritical!" Obviously he is an Oriental, but he learns what Jesus is talking about. Hmph, let me tell you, don't listen to her, if you're interested, I'll tell you another day how the Buddha became a Buddha! It's okay to read, my family invited a lot of scriptures back, but I'm afraid you won't understand! Alas, it's a pity that I don't have time today, or let's talk about it in detail another day! Thank you for the tea, I'm gone! ”
Can't wait for Leng Xiaomei to react, she has already stood up and rushed out of the door like the wind, looking at both ends, "twitter, twitter......" and continued to look for her chick with the call of love.
Leaving Leng Xiaomei behind her back, her mouth slightly open, and her eyes glazed...... Who did she offend today?! Maybe it's the wrong time to open today?! Why didn't Dad explain it to her clearly this time~
Left Jesus, right Buddha, she can't resist!! I can't live this day anymore~!
It is said that the two of them are worthy of honest believers, they are full of words, and they each staggered the time to teach Leng Xiaomei, both of whom are eager to save Leng Xiaomei, the lost lamb. There was a time when Leng Xiaomei was worse than dead!
Fortunately, after a long time, Leng Xiaomei found a good way to get along with the two of them. Whenever they talked about the question of faith, she immediately changed the subject. If the two of them call her to go to church or Buddhist hall again, immediately say no!
As for their faces, rest assured, with their Lord or Buddha by their side, they won't be angry with her! She can be bold enough to offend them! Hehe, cool!
Time passed like water, and soon, the time entered December. As the weather around the world is gradually getting warmer, this winter has not really reached the magic capital. Many men on the old street still wear a pair of pants and run around on a pair of flip-flops, and the girls are still cool, and the weaker ones are wearing coats as thin as cicada's wings.
Leng Xiaomei's shop has also been open for two months, and the days are still free. Except for Lin Feng's help from time to time, there is no stranger's business, which can be described as extremely bleak.
However, Leng Xiaomei was not idle, she studied the big encyclopedia, and occasionally curiously flipped through the "Biography of the Jade" a few times. She knows how to make jade, and some of the details she couldn't figure out before are now answered one by one in the book, and she feels very satisfied. As for how the business will be, she has given up no hope.
Alas, it seems that she needs to be a ghost for a while! However, after a comfortable period of time, she was stunned when she thought of facing the life of being chased by the city management again~
