Chapter 271
"Nope!" Huang Wenbao shook his head and said, "I have nothing to do with other people's phone numbers, I usually go to the shelter and see her just to chat, and I don't plan to do anything." ”
Hearing that Huang Wenbao did not have Liu Yan's contact information, Xing Tianqi suddenly said a little depressed: "Okay, let's go to the shelter and wait, I haven't been there for a long time, and after my shelter is set up, I am still going to bring all the animals from Grandma Zhang's house." ”
Huang Wenbao nodded immediately when he heard this, and then said: "But don't worry, it's only what time is it, let's go to the winery and sit down first." ”
Xing Tianqi looked at his watch when he heard this, it was only twelve o'clock now, and Liu Yan had to get off work at five o'clock early, so he nodded and agreed.
Xing Tianqi and Huang Wenbao haven't talked for a long time, although they met last time, they separated not long after, take this opportunity to have a drink together at noon, and get together to chat.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, because he drank at noon and was not suitable for driving, Xing Tianqi and Huang Wenbao took a taxi directly to the shelter of Grandma Zhang in Taiping.
Xing Tianqi looked at the big courtyard in front of him, listened to the noisy barking of dogs coming from the yard, and showed a trace of emotion, there has been no change here at all, the same as a year ago.
Knock knock knock---
"Poko is here? Hey? It's ......"
Grandma Zhang, who opened the courtyard door, was slightly stunned when she saw Xing Tianqi and Huang Wenbao outside the door, she recognized Huang Wenbao, but she didn't recognize Xing Tianqi, or she was very familiar with Xing Tianqi, but Xing Tianqi has changed a little bit during this time, plus she hasn't been here for a long time, and Grandma Zhang is still a little forgetful, so she didn't think of her name for a while.
Xing Tianqi didn't care, and reminded: "I'm Xiaotian, I always came with him before, did you forget?" ”
After Xing Tianqi's reminder, Grandma Zhang suddenly recalled, patted her head and suddenly realized: "Oh, look at my memory, Xiaotian, I haven't been here for a long time!" ”
"Hmm!" Xing Tianqi smiled and nodded: "I just joined the work some time ago, and I have been a little busy in the field, so I came over as soon as I came back." ”
Grandma Zhang smiled and said, "Good work, good work, good work, it's important to work well, come in and come in, don't stand outside." ”
"Okay!" Xing Tianqi and Huang Wenbao followed Grandma Zhang into the courtyard in response.
There is no change outside the yard, and there is no change in the yard either, Xing Tianqi's eyes swept towards the dogs in the iron cage, not to mention that they can call their names, but more than half of them have seen it, and even fed it personally.
And those dogs also knew him and Huang Wenbao, and when they saw the two of them, they immediately jumped happily in the cage, whining in their mouths, as if they were greeting.
Of course, if there is no change, there will naturally be change, and the biggest change is the volunteers, it can be said that Xing Tianqi, the volunteer here, does not know any of them.
In less than a year, the previous volunteers have basically changed several times.
But there is no way to do it, Grandma Zhang's stray animal shelter is not official, and it is not even a non-governmental association, at first Grandma Zhang was because of her good heart, and the stray cats and dogs near her home were all adopted by her.
Slowly, when the surrounding neighbors saw stray cats and dogs, they also sent them to Grandma Zhang.
Grandma Zhang has been a teacher for many years, and now there are thousands of dollars in pension every month, plus her children are still filial, not only do not worry about her pension, but are afraid that her mother will have a bad life, and she will give her mother a lot of money during the New Year's holidays.
In this way, Grandma Zhang's money is not to say that it can't be spent, at least it is completely enough for an elderly person, so Grandma Zhang also refused, thinking that some cats and dogs can eat as much as they want.
But as time passed, there were more and more stray animals in Grandma Zhang's yard, and she became more and more tired, and finally she couldn't even manage it.
Like food is a problem, puppies and kittens are fine, and it is true that they can't eat much, but those medium and large dog breeds eat more, more than people, and the number of medium and large dog breeds is still a lot, and they can eat and drink.
So every day Grandma Zhang gets up in the morning, it takes more than two hours just to steam the rice, which is still several rice cookers to steam the rice together, otherwise it is just a rice cooker, let alone two hours, it is not enough to steam in one day.
There are many other problems, such as dogs, whether they are petified or not, are still aggressive by nature, so many dogs are put together and fight all day long, and there are often bloodsheds.
In addition to these two problems, there were many, many troubles, so in the end, with the help of her neighbors and children, she began to recruit a lot of volunteers to help.
But volunteers are volunteers after all, they don't have a dime of wages, and they are still so tired of hard work every day, who can do it?
Therefore, basically every few months, there will be a batch of volunteers, and during the period when Xing Tianqi did not come, it is estimated that these volunteers have been replaced in several batches.
Xing Tianqi and Huang Wenbao came to the house with Grandma Zhang and sat down, chatted, and after chatting for a while, Xing Tianqi hesitated and said, "Grandma Zhang, I have something to discuss with you this time." ”
Grandma Zhang was slightly stunned when she heard this, and she didn't know what the two of them came to discuss with her, so she wondered, "Something to discuss?" What's up? ”
Xing Tianqi gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment and then got straight to the point: "Grandma Zhang is like this, I am going to get a shelter for stray animals, but it is different from the ordinary simple shelter, I am going to do this..."
Then Xing Tianqi gave Grandma Zhang a rough explanation of his concept, that is, to train stray dogs into all kinds of working dogs, and if they can't become working dogs, they will be trained into something else, anyway, make the best use of everything, and the money sold at that time will cost them to maintain the shelter, etc., and so on.
"Now I have the place, the funds are there, the facilities and equipment and personnel are almost in place, only the stray animals are not clue yet, so I wonder if you can transfer all these animals in the shelter to me, of course, I know this request is excessive, but I really can't help it."
Xing Tianqi was a little embarrassed when he said this, but just like he said, he really had no choice.
The shelter hasn't been built yet, it's not even a sign, and even if it's built, it doesn't have a reputation at first, and it's impossible for someone to send the stray animals they picked up to him, and if there are no animals, how can they be trained? How?
You can't develop step by step for three or two years, right? What is the current society about, efficiency, Xing Tianqi doesn't have that time to waste.
