In the morning, Zhang Zian went out to throw out the garbage. He saw a large truck and an ordinary van slowly stopping at the door of the store next to his pet shop. The name of the moving company was written on the bodies of the two vehicles.
As the door of the van was opened, several uniformed movers came out of the van one after another. Xie Tao also got out, unlocked the door to his shoe store, and directed the movers to go inside his store to move his things.
”Tao, are you moving now? There's no rush. You could move after selling your shoes here.” Zhang Zian approached Xie Tao and looked at his store filled with various kinds of shoes. Before Xie Tao had time to sell them, the shoes had been packed into cloth bags and were about to be taken away.
Xie Tao smiled and was about to say something to Zhang Zian. The corner of his eye saw the workers lift the refrigerator out of the store, so Xie Tao hurriedly reminded them, ”Oh, be careful with that refrigerator! Be careful! Don't bump it on the door!”
The refrigerator, the TV, the microwave oven, and the kitchen supplies… The movers moved things out of the store like hard-working ants. They were well-trained and extra careful handling the large items and valuables, but Xie Tao was still not quite at ease so he had to remind them from time to time, for fear that his belongings would be scratched or smashed. In fact, these items had been placed in his store for several years, and they would be worth little in the second-hand market.
At the interval of reminding the workers, Xie Tao told Zhang Zian, ”What difference does it make moving out earlier or later? These shoes cannot be sold out anyway. I might as well find a bustling intersection to set up a stand to handle them. Zian, do you find these things useful? If you do, you can keep them.” He was referring to various kinds of electrical appliances.
”I'm fine. Tao, you can move them away.” Zhang Zian said truthfully. Whether Xie Tao was being polite or really intended to leave those electrical appliances to him, Zhang Zian did not need them because he did not buy this building to live. Even if these electrical appliances remained in the store, he would hire other people to move them away.
”By the way, Zian, my wife really likes the cat you sent her. She uploaded the pictures of the cat in her WeChat Moment, and many people said that the cat was expensive. Thank you so much.” Xie Tao took out a shopping bag from the van and handed it to Zhang Zian. ”This is a rice cake made by my wife. She specially asked me to bring it to you.”
Zhang Zian took it over, ”It must be very delicious. Please thank her for me.”
”Sure. Why don't you return to your shop to go on with your chores? I will notify you once I have moved all my things out. It is too dusty outside.”
Because Xie Tao did not stay in his store often, both the furniture and the electrical appliances were covered with thick dust. Since they stood and talked in the downwind, they choked whenever the wind blew.
”OK, I'm going back to my shop then. Since I have not eaten breakfast, I can take the opportunity to taste the rice cake.” Zhang Zian carried the rice cake and went back to his pet shop.
Observing the few pregnant Abyssinian cats had become his daily task. After all, this was the first time he had experienced the breeding of cats. As the bellies of the cats grew bigger day by day, Zhang Zian's heart had an inexplicable sense of achievement… Many customers heard that his pet shop had chocolate-colored Abyssinian cats and came to inquire about the prices of the cats, hoping to order the Abyssinian kittens that would be born.
Cathy's picture had always been standing on a cabinet. Her eyes were looking at the direction of the Abyssinian cats, as if she was also expecting the births of the kittens.
Lu Yiyun took pictures of the pregnant Abyssinian cats every day and uploaded them to the WeChat public account of the Amazing Fate Pet Shop so that the followers could witness the breeding and the births of the kittens. Some of the followers who had already placed deposits would pick up the kittens after they were born. Therefore, just like the expectant mothers and fathers, these people paid close attention to the daily nutrition and health of the female cats by checking in the public account every day.
”Mr. Store Manager, should I print this photo?”
