Adopt a puppy (Part II)
With Lulu joining, Lu Jiuchuan's life gradually began to become busy. For example, now, Lu Jiuchuan is building a small villa for Lulu, because the original nest is too small, and it can't keep warm.
When Lulu started eating, Lu Jiuchuan had to use food to train it to understand a few simple instructions. Of course, if you want to become a qualified shovel officer, you must train your pet to defecate at a fixed point, which really makes Lu Jiuchuan have a headache - unknown solids and liquids all over the ground are waiting for him to clean up.
After only a few days of taking care of her, Lulu regained her vitality and began to slowly get close to Lu Jiuchuan. During the period, Leng Qian would often come to see Lulu after work, for Lulu, Leng Qian seemed to see her former self, thinking that Lu Jiuchuan could take the initiative to adopt Lulu, her impression of Lu Jiuchuan was also much better, and the two loved Lulu like a newcomer's dog father and mother.
As time passed, the two gradually became acquainted, at least Leng Qian would not speak to Lu Jiuchuan as coldly as before. Sometimes the two take Lulu downstairs for a walk, and they both start to have a little fight, and they are often mistaken by passers-by for a small couple.
As usual, after Leng Qian got off work today, she came to Lu Jiuchuan's house to see Lulu and brought a bunch of "snacks".
"It's good for it to eat dog food, so it doesn't need to eat this, right?" Lu Jiuchuan looked at the bag of "snacks" in Leng Qian's hand and asked curiously.
"See for yourself what this is." Leng Qian turned the bag around, showed the transparent side to Lu Jiuchuan, and pointed her finger and said, "This is a teething stick, Lulu has already started to grow teeth, if you don't want it to gnaw your furniture, it's better to use this." ”
"I see, isn't that just like a rabbit." Lu Jiuchuan has only raised rabbits, and he knows that rabbits need to grind their teeth, but he doesn't know that dogs also need them.
"Sort of." Leng Qian glanced at Lu Jiuchuan angrily, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked, "By the way, have you vaccinated Lulu?" ”
"Vaccines? Oops, I forgot! Lu Jiuchuan patted his head, thinking that this is not a rabbit, the dog will be vaccinated more than a month after birth, and looking at Lulu's appearance, it is at least two months old, and I don't know if its previous owner has vaccinated it.
"I'll take you to fight, I'll search for any pet stores nearby, you wait." Saying that, Leng Qian opened the mobile phone and looked at it, hesitated for a while, frowned slightly, and then pointed to the mobile phone and said to Lu Jiuchuan, "Look at this, not far from your home, there is a pet hospital, but it seems to be newly opened, and I don't know how." ”
"Okay, let's go to that house! Let's go, Lulu, get an injection. Regarding what Leng Qian said, Lu Jiuchuan never thought much about it and agreed.
Lu Jiuchuan picked up Lulu, its round eyes glanced at Lu Jiuchuan expectantly, its wet nose sniffed at the air a few times, and then made a surrender-like posture.
"You little thing!" Lu Jiuchuan knocked Lulu's head with a doting face, and began to gently pinch its back with his hand.
"Lulu is still very good at enjoying it, I like to be massaged by you." The corners of Leng Qian's mouth raised a beautiful arc and said with a smile.
"Not only that, but as long as it doesn't sleep in my room, it has to scream in the middle of the night." Lu Jiuchuan actually wanted to complain like a father.
"Let's go, I don't know if the pet hospital is closed now!" Leng Qian suddenly urged.
The two walked side by side on the street, Leng Qian put her hands in the pockets of her jacket, her steps were melodious and brisk, and occasionally her eyes swept over the storefront, and she would stop for a while.
Following Leng Qian's gaze, Lu Jiuchuan found that the streets he usually passed by countless times turned out to be so colorful. He didn't know that there was a bubble tea shop here, he didn't know that there was a pastry restaurant here, and he didn't know that there was a women's clothing store at the end of the street, which was on sale at the moment......
"Looks like Christmas is coming." Lu Jiuchuan said suddenly.
"Yes, we used to pretend to be Santa Claus every Christmas, but as soon as she spoke, we knew it was her and called her Santa Claus. Later, I came out to work, and every Christmas, I would go to the welfare home, so that every year two Santa Claus appeared in front of the children. Leng Qian said this, showing a warm smile.
"Let's spend Christmas together this year, and Lulu! And there's more! We went to the orphanage to spend time with the children. Lu Jiuchuan held Lulu in front of Leng Qian and said, and Lulu also barked lightly at the right time, and her paws were in a posture, making a pitiful look.
At this moment, Lu Jiuchuan was also looking forward to Leng Qian's affirmative answer.
"Yes. This Christmas with Lulu and the children. Leng Qian took Lulu, her expression flashed a little gloomy, and after taking a few steps forward, she turned back to Lu Jiuchuan and said, "The pet hospital is in front, let's hurry up, if the door is closed, we will run in vain." ”
Saying that, the two came to the door of the pet hospital, the pet store is called "Cute Pet Hospital", probably because it is newly opened, there are not many pets in it, so there is no indescribable taste.
Lu Jiuchuan saw that there was a light on inside, so he walked in.
"Is anyone there?" Lu Jiuchuan saw that there was no one at the front desk, so he tentatively shouted inside.
"Yes, yes, here, please wait." An answer came from inside, and after a while, a female veterinarian in a white coat came out, looking about thirty years old, the whole person looked very energetic, she wiped the leftover oil stains from eating takeout at the corner of her mouth, looked at Lulu, and said with a smile, "Hello, what's wrong with the puppy?" ”
"No, it's fine, we're just here to get a vaccine." Lu Jiuchuan replied sincerely.
"Have you been vaccinated before?"
"I don't know, I don't think so, we picked it up on the street. Look how old you are. ”
The female veterinarian took a closer look and said with a serious face: "I looked at it for two and a half months, I should have been vaccinated a long time ago, since you don't know, you can either get it again, starting from the first shot." ”
Lu Jiuchuan nodded: "That's the only way." ”
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go get ready." The female veterinarian said and brought Lu Jiuchuan into the injection room, but Leng Qian handed Lulu to Lu Jiuchuan at the door, standing there and shaking her head and reluctant to go in.
"What's wrong? It's not for you to give you an injection, what are you afraid of. Lu Jiuchuan said with a smile.
"Seeing Lulu being pricked by needles makes me feel bad." After Leng Qian finished speaking, she bit her lower lip, turned her head to the side, and walked out, as if she was determined not to come in.
"Okay, okay, coward." Lu Jiuchuan grimaced, thinking that Leng Qian's heart was so soft.
At this time, the female veterinarian walked in, wearing a thick blue dress, a blue hat and a thick mask, looking very professional. She walked to the switch, turned off the fluorescent light, turned on the dim red light, and said: "Strong light is easy to destroy the activity of the vaccine, you put the dog up and hold it now, I'm going to vaccinate it." ”
"Okay."
Lu Jiuchuan put Lulu on the countertop, holding its head with one hand and its body with the other, staring at it motionless with both eyes to prevent it from moving.
Seeing this, the female veterinarian picked up the analgesic and stabbed it at Lulu's neck, and then gently pressed the thruster. At this time, Lulu also felt the pain, and began to scream and struggle, like a helpless child,
The vaccine was injected in less than five seconds, and Lu Jiuchuan quickly hugged Lulu to the ground and let go of his hand, wanting him to move. I saw that Lulu seemed to be frightened and began to run around, but after a while, she regained her composure, as if she had forgotten the pain just now, and quietly crawled to Lu Jiuchuan's feet and lay down.
"Take it home and have a good rest, the vaccine is a weak virus, and only enough resistance can be normal immunity. Don't take it out lately, take good care of it, and don't let it catch a cold. Come back for another shot in 20 days. The female veterinarian instructed.
"Okay, how much is it?"
"Sixty."
After paying the money, Lu Jiuchuan walked out of the hospital, only to see Leng Qian's eyes red and sobbing. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”
"No, it's fine." Leng Qian brushed her bangs down, as if she wanted to cover her eyes, and said, "I'm leaving, you and Lulu go home early." ”
Lu Jiuchuan thought that it might be that Leng Qian saw Lulu getting vaccinated, and thought of the helplessness of being alone in the face of injections in her childhood, so she didn't force her to do anything, and said, "Then be careful on the road, bye-bye." ”
"Well, bye-bye." Leng Qian turned around and left.
Normally, she would touch Lulu's head before leaving, but this time she actually left.
Lu Jiuchuan stood in place stupidly, looking at Leng Qian's departing back, as if there were countless ants crawling through in his heart. He felt that Leng Qian's past was by no means as she said lightly, after all, in more than 20 years, there were so many things that a girl had to experience, so much so that any thing or sentence in her life would pierce her sensitive nerves.
Perhaps, I found my own shadow in Lulu, but I feel that Lulu is a little different from her.
"Let's go, Lulu, let's go home too, and I'll build you a house."
"Whew-"
