684 Fish for the New Year (2/2)

Jin Er had given Snowy red packets in the past for the New Year, but had never seen her as happy as she was right now. He was happy to give it to her. It was true that giving gifts was just as fun as receiving them.

Snowy hesitated on whether she should drop Snowball off at home, or take it with her to the pet shop. It didn't take long for her to decide on the latter, as she wasn't sure if she'd be able to come out again after going home.

”Uncle Jin, I have to go somewhere. If my mom comes to look for me, please help cover for me,” She begged.

”Okay.” Jin Er grinned. He didn't want to get involved, but he also didn't want to refuse Snowy.

He filled the bucket halfway with water. ”Here, the fish is still alive. Put it in the bucket, or it'll turn stale.”

The bucket was small, so it only fit one fish.

Snowy put the fish inside and covered the lid. The fish was half alive in the bucket, and flopped it tail occasionally.

She called Snowball, and they walked out of the community together. Jin Er sat back in his chair, ready for another fight. Fishing with an empty hook was nice, but fishing with real bait from time to time was very satisfying as well.

After leaving the community, Snowy called a taxi and went straight to the pet shop.

There were very few cars on the road, so they arrived quickly.

As soon as she entered, she realized that the pet shop was quieter than usual. The shop was empty. It was Chinese New Year's Day, after all.

Zhang Zian's back faced the door. He put one hand on his waist, the other hand held a slipper pointed at a grey parrot on top of the shelf. ”I was talking about borrowing arrows with boats loaded with straw. What do you mean by 'f*cking the boat while borrowing arrows?'”

”Quack!” Richard rolled its eyes mischievously. ”I was wrong. You idiot is b*tchy enough. You don't need to borrow any more arrows!”

Zhang Zian didn't know what to say.

”Quack! Let's have a truce. Put down the slipper” Richard shrunk its neck.

Despite the absense of the two workers, the pet shop was still full of action on New Year's.

”Hello! Zhang Zian, Happy New Year! Yiyun, Happy New Year!”

Zhang Zian turned and found Snowy standing at the door with a smile, with a white Persian cat sitting behind her.

Lu Yiyun shifted her eyes from the number pad, and saw it was Snowy. ”Snowy, Happy New Year! Are you here for a live broadcast?”

”Happy New Year.” Zhang Zian responded.

Snowy's appearance always meant a live broadcast, and he didn't think it was appropriate to hold slippers in front of her viewers, so he tossed them.

”Why are you here? Don't you need to stay with your family? Are you doing a live broadcast?” He asked.

”Not exactly.” Snowy shook her head. ”I'm not planning to do a live broadcast today, and my trip here was unplanned. Didn't you announce that you need fresh Crucian Carps? Did you get any?”

”Not yet.” Zhang Zian sighed.

”Is that so?” Snowy lifted the bucket. ”Well, I'm bringing you one as a red packet for the New Year. Fish for the New Year!”
