Chapter 1
“The money and goods are clear, the keys are here.” The fat woman put a bunch of old copper keys on the shabby table, and then exhorted. “Don’t forget that the fifteenth of each month is the rent payment day. If the rent is not paid on time, the landlord will come to remind you.”
Putting down the last sentence, the fat woman picked up the small bag on the side of her hand, swayed the waist of the bucket and went out.
Su Yu nodded again and again. After the woman’s figure disappeared completely, she showed a brilliant smile, and her bright apricot eyes were full of longing for the future.
Five years! She has accumulated five years of savings, and today, she has truly realized her dream.
Put the key in the drawer of the broken table, Su Yu walked to the outside eagerly, squatting down and looking at the little cuties in the cage.
This is her shop, and all the cuties here belong to her.
Su Yu stretched out a hand and gently touched the cuteness of a white paw in the cat cage and tilted his head to look at her.
This small pet shop with a total area of less than 100 square meters, not counting the basement, is her dream.
As an orphan, Su Yu grew up like weeds without a father or mother, but she has loved small animals since she was a child, and she is also very affinity for small animals.
“Meow?” Su Yu felt the fluffy touch with her index finger, and immediately wanted to scream. She was afraid that it would scare the kitten, so she hid the scream in her mouth and wished to open the cat cage to the little cuties. Put it out and rub it twice.
“Wow!” The dog behind him barked so arrogantly that Su Yu turned his head and saw a black and white husky in the dog cage behind him stupidly sticking out his head and biting the cage with his tongue. , It is clearly a cool face with a handsome face, but there is always a trace of sand sculpture temperament from it.
Su Yu twitched the corners of her mouth, and the destructive power of this product can be fully understood by looking at the degree of incompleteness of the dog cage.
This is her pet shop…
The current internal assets, a reception room with an area of 20 square meters, is also the residence of two cute little parrots. There are three cats in a 20-square-meter cat room, and a dog-house with an area of 20 square meters, in which four dogs live.
The rest of the small animals, small hamsters, rabbits and small tortoises are all placed in the utility room, which also covers an area of 20 square meters.
The remaining 20 square meters is the storage room, which is filled with food, daily necessities and medicines for small animals.
Although the small pet shop is small on the surface, it actually has a basement. The basement area is also 100 square meters. It is now used as a housing area.
In the entire pet shop, there are only five kinds of pets, which are the most common species.
Three cats, four dogs, five hamsters, two parrots, two turtles, and three rabbits.
Among them, the cats are the most common breeds, a Chinese pastoral raccoon and beautiful short skewers, a fat British short, and a three-flowered short-legged cat.
Dogs are also very common breeds, a very active Xiao Erha, a mighty Da Demu, a thin and weak Bianmu that is not good in appearance, and a pretty cute Chinese pastoral. The skewers of dogs and golden retrievers.
Six small hamsters are also the cheapest and easy to feed species. There are two beige bears and two golden silk bears. Of the remaining two, one is a pudding hamster and the other is a tiger bear.
The little tortoises originally seemed to be raised with the little goldfish, but the little goldfishes are now dead. Now the two little tortoises are quite desolate in this very spacious fish tank for them, both of them are The most common Chinese tortoise.
The two parrots twittering, one green tiger skin, one blue tiger skin, the two little parrots looked very active, much more alive than the other pets in this pet shop.
The three rabbits are quite cute, but according to Su Yu’s observation, they all seem to be meat rabbits. Perhaps two of them can barely be regarded as pet rabbits, one is full of brown fur, the other is cute with big eyes and eyeliner, and the last one is a rabbit that looks very beautiful, and the whole body is white. , But the eyes, ear tips and tail are all black. Although it is only a small ball, it has the same cuteness and cuteness as the giant panda.
These three rabbits are said to be small pocket rabbits, but looking at all of them weighing more than seven or eight catties, it is obviously not the case.
It can be said that the animals in this pet shop are not only in poor condition, but also very few in number.
Compared with other pet shops, there are pets such as ponies, alpacas, lizards, snakes, which are common but very expensive, or rare and more expensive pets. The types of pet shops are really small and simple. .
What is even more difficult now is that of the three cats and four dogs, two of them have babies.
Su Yu squatted and continued to observe. After watching for a long time, she finally determined that the beautiful short string seemed to be pregnant with a baby, and the small and thin Bianmu who was lying obediently in the dog cage did not move much also had a baby.
Putting on the gloves and checking them one by one, she found…
None of the cats and dogs in this pet shop has been sterilized!
So have they all been vaccinated?
Su Yu quickly found out the phone and called the former shopkeeper, and it turned out…
【sorry! The number you have dial can not be reached…”】
Su Yu: “…”
Forget it, Su Yu took a deep breath. Just treat them as if they haven’t been vaccinated. The condition of these cats, cats and dogs is not good. Let’s get conditioned for half a month, and then get vaccinated one by one.
Thinking of the vaccine money, Su Yu suddenly felt that his heart and liver were trembling. Silently calculating his savings, Su Yu put down the phone with a weeping face, and then began to allocate residences to the cats and dogs.
In fact, for dogs, cages are still very suitable for strange places and when they are raised by strangers.
But among the four dogs, one already has a baby and needs to be re-arranged. Naturally, the mother dog has the right to live more comfortably.
Moreover, this little Bianmu who is pregnant with a little cub is really a little skinny. If you don’t take good nutrition, then the big dog and the unborn puppies may be in danger.
The original owner of this pet shop obviously didn’t cherish these small animals very much. Obviously, the initial distribution was to separate them according to the different habits of cats and dogs, but the original owner was very tired and lazy, and Su Yu even suspected that she had them. There is no regular deworming of these small animals and regular disinfection of the indoor environment.
…
Three months later.
Early in the morning, Su Yu was awakened by a cold, soft pad.
Su Yu opened her eyes in a daze, and saw that a delicate cat face had already touched her cheek.
She dared not move in an instant, raised her head and glanced down.
Sure enough, the tabby cat mother who was a mother for the first time took her two puppies onto her bed again.
Her residence often becomes a place for cats and dogs to stroll around, and Su Yu is almost used to it.
Two months ago, a cat and a dog gave birth to cubs one after another, but she helped to pick them up. Su Yu originally thought that the babies they were carrying were the puppies of other cats and dogs in the store, but she didn’t expect to find the original account books in the store when she was clearing the cabinets.
It clearly reads “Cats and dogs cost one hundred yuan each.” That is to say, the bunches of tabby and the little pups in the belly of Bianmu are borrowed from outside. “Come on.
I understand that the former owner wanted to have more pure-blooded pets in the store, but it was obvious that the bloodline she “picked up” was not that pure.
The Chuan-chuan tabby cat originally had no name, so Su Yu named it Zebra. It gave birth to two cubs, one of which was indeed a lighter-colored tabby dumpling, and the other was not because of the Chinese appearance of Zebra. The pedigree of the rural raccoon is too domineering, it is just a complete little raccoon.
But it looks like a tiger-headed brain, very cute.
The Bian Shepherd dog gave birth to a pure-blooded little Bian Shepherd, but the little cub that is only two months old can’t tell whether the appearance is good, but the claws of the cub are not small, and the bone mass seems to be good, but She doesn’t seem to think much about bone mass. As for gross mass, such a small dog might not be able to see anything.
“Well, what time is it?” Su Yu moved her shoulders slightly, letting the little kitten who was sitting on her face with her shoulders lying on the side of her pillow, and she herself sat up carefully.
“It’s eight o’clock!” Su Yu quickly lifted the quilt and got off the bed.
She lives in the basement of the pet shop. Today is November 15th. The weather is not cold yet. Su Yu intends to wait for a while when the weather gets colder, she will move there and go to the old things not far away. The market spends one or two hundred yuan to buy a single bed and put it in the utility room to live with the little rabbits and hamsters.
She got up and put the quilt on her body, holding a small milk cat in each hand, Su Yu wrapped a super-thick and long “scarf” with a small tail behind her **** and went upstairs.
Although the basement is big enough, it is a bit too humid. As long as the weather is clear, Su Yu will take all the bedding outside to dry.
The location of the pet shop is right next to the school where Su Yu graduated, but the development progress of a building that is clearly integrated is vastly different, just because the sunny side is facing the school, while the pet shop is located on the dark side. It’s only separated by a wall from the school, but it takes a long way to get here. It can be said that if you didn’t go back to find an Internet cafe, you wouldn’t go around here.
Although the location can be said to be very bad, it can only be redeemed for such a small shop by relying on the little money saved by my work-study program.
For her, it was already a dead end.
Only two days after Double Eleven, the day before yesterday was the peak period for express delivery. Although the main audience of her shop is the teachers and students living in the family building, there are more other residents living nearby. People who work during the day are not there. For convenience, the delivery address will be written to some familiar ones. In the shop. Although Su Yu hasn’t been here for a long time, she has a soft temper and a good personality. It didn’t take long for her shop door to become a “temporary delivery point”.
Su Yu also bought a lot of pet supplies and her daily necessities during the Double Eleven Carnival. Buying more things adds up to a lot of discounts. The goods she bought in the past two days have basically arrived, and the half-empty storage room has been filled up again.
After waking up, Su Yu didn’t wash up first, so Su Yu first went to open the store door to get some fresh air. There was no heating but an old air conditioner in the store. The air conditioner is not turned on when the temperature is neither hot nor cold.
Electricity is too expensive for commercial use! She opened a shop for three months, but she hasn’t sold a single hamster yet. She is relying solely on washing dogs to support her life, making her even poorer.
The two birds in the shop were chirping and grooming each other’s feathers with affection. Su Yu was envious. The birds had their partners, but she was still a single dog.
Su Yu hung two cages with birds on the branches of the big tree at the door, and saw them scream happily in the shade of the leaves.
The open door began to blow into the cool breeze. The early autumn breeze was not cool, but it did not disturb the dryness of summer.
“Wow! Wow…” Needless to say, the one who can make such a call must be the purest husky in the store, and the price is also the highest in the store.
The destructive power of the dog is really amazing. If it were the other three dogs, Su Yu would dare to open the cage and release the dog, but if it was this…
Su Yu said that her savings really couldn’t support the extent of its demolition.
“Come here! I’ll add food to you first~”
Su Yu added food to the little animals one by one. She usually cooks cat and dog meals for the cats and dogs in the store, but she can do nothing about the two parrots, rabbits, hamsters, and turtles. The proper ration is needed. It’s much more nutritious than her fooling around.
After feeding the food, Su Yu cleaned up the excrement in their cage.
The cats in the pet shop use cat litter, and the dogs also use diapers, but rabbits and hamsters are not easy to train, and they can only be cleaned frequently.
After the animals were arranged, Su Yu closed the door again, and started to wash his face after eating. The sun-loving cat owners took them to the cat litter on the windowsill one by one, and then went to the basement to prepare to wash.
The iron stairs are very steep. Even though she has walked hundreds of times, every time she stepped on it, she would have herself stomped down in the next second and fell into a half body.
