Chapter 77

After two days of wandering around the city and walking through every street, I found that the online rumor that Sichuan is the most relaxing city is absolutely true. Lin Gui met many people here who were very relaxed. Some of them slept on chairs at the gate with the door open, and some took their dogs for a walk in the alleys. Each of them was quite unique.

Finally, Lin Gui chose a shop located on the side of the street at a crossroads. It was originally just an ordinary storefront, a grocery store, and it was quite old. There was a big tree next to it, and the shadow of the tree could completely cover the store. Crossing the street in front of him, he could enter the old alley. These were all old streets, full of local people. On the other side of the road was an unbuilt overpass. Walking across the overpass, he came to a new world, with tall buildings, bright lights and wine, as dreamy as a 3D world.

Overall, this location is excellent, nestled between the old and new parts of the city, offering both the relaxed atmosphere of the old and the vibrant energy of the new. Once the overpass is completed, this will undoubtedly become a hotspot, leading to significantly higher rents.

But Lin Gui doesn't have to pay for this herself, so of course she can choose wherever she wants. After choosing the address, she can start to work on the decoration and design style.

After several previous renovations, Lin Gui fully realized that he was not cut out for this, so he let the system generate more appropriate drawings by itself, and then satisfied the client's desire to change what he didn't want.

009 gladly accepted the task assigned by Lin Gui, and went back to carefully read the book, determined to create a masterpiece that Lin Gui could not refuse.

Lin Gui said she is looking forward to it. She would like to describe the store's style in two words: unique and harmonious. The current store's style is normal and warm, so the second store can innovate in due course. Sichuan is very tolerant of various styles, making it a good place to explore new things.

After the inspection, Lin Gui packed up and prepared to go home. Dahuang must have missed her very much.

Jiang Li only accompanied Lin Gui for the first two days. Later, Lin Gui said that she had completely adapted to the city and did not need him to accompany her anymore. She asked him to mind his own business, so he went to the hospital for a check-up.

According to the information obtained by Lin Gui, Jiang Li's examination results were quite good this time, so he will stay here for a few more days to select a site for the next branch of Jiang's Pet Hospital in the southwest and officially open up the market in the southwest.

After hearing this, Lin Gui was very envious. She wondered when Ertu Snack Shop could open chain stores across the country. With each chain store opened, a pet rescue base would be opened. This way, all the cats and dogs in all cities would have a place to take them in, which would be perfect.

The gifts for the people in the store had been sent out in batches within two days. Lin Gui traveled light and returned to Ping City the next morning. After leaving the airport, Lin Gui took a deep breath. Ah, no matter how big the golden or silver nest is, it is not as good as his own doghouse.

Hey, I wonder if Dahuang misses his own doghouse. Lin Gui happily drove to the pet base to pick up Dahuang.

At this time, Dahuang is having a lot of fun. Now it is September, and the air conditioner is turned on much less frequently than in the previous two months. The dogs can finally play outdoors for a longer time. Although the glass garden is also good, which puppy doesn't want to run around on the lawn without restraint?

The puppy counselors at the base have a pretty good life, with little stress and plenty of time to pet furry puppies.

They came to work at Lin Gui's base because they loved puppies and cats. When Lin Gui left, he didn't know about it. These puppy counselors raised funds and bought a large inflatable pool so that the puppies could have a swimming pool to play in outdoors.

The previous puppy bathhouses were all indoors, and the dogs didn’t have much fun, but this time there was finally a big one.

This inflatable swimming pool only arrived yesterday and was only used today. I don’t know if it is big enough to accommodate more than 50 dogs at a time.

The instructor in charge inflated the inflatable pool and found it was still a little off the size they'd imagined—definitely not enough for over fifty puppies. But! They had the foresight to buy another one. Hahahaha. We argued over whether to buy the blue or yellow one, but in the end, we bought both, thinking we'd see the actual one before deciding which one to return. Now, we don't have to return any and can use all of them.

"Oh, I'm so smart." said Xiao Feng, who was responsible for buying the inflatable pool.

After the swimming pool was set up and filled with water, everyone brought the puppies they taught one after another. First come, first served. The puppies were very happy to see the small pool and rushed in one after another.

So Lin Guilai saw this scene: there were two very conspicuous facilities on the huge lawn. She squeezed over to take a look, and oh my god, there were all kinds of little dogs floating on the water, and Dahuang had no idea where he had gone.

If it was a newly adopted dog, Dahuang would definitely spot Lin Gui first and ask for a pat and a hug. But now Dahuang feels very safe, so even though he saw Lin Gui coming back, he was still reluctant to leave the big pool and was unwilling to move over.

"Wow, where did this come from?" Lin Gui asked curiously.

"We all bought it together." said a counselor next to him.

"How can we ask you to pay for this? Just go to the finance lady to get reimbursed and the base will bear the cost." After Lin Gui finished speaking, everyone became happy.

At this time, Lin Gui remembered her main task, which was to find Dahuang. Dahuang, this clever little boy, must have wanted to play for a while longer and had not come to find her. "Dahuang, Dahuang." Lin Gui shouted at the two pools.

"Hey." Dahuang heard the shouting, sighed, and knew that he couldn't play anymore, so he dragged his body up slowly.

Mingxin, who was leaning against the inflatable pool, stretched out his body comfortably to soak in the water, the only thing missing was a pair of sunglasses. Seeing Dahuang's little action, he smiled triumphantly.

Although Da Huang was slow to get up, he moved very quickly after he stood up. He shook himself to dry the water, then ran towards Lin Gui with his eyes shining, as if to say, "Shit shoveler, I miss you so much."

Lin Gui was obviously captivated by Dahuang's little appearance. She hugged Dahuang regardless of her wet fur and the grass on it. Oh, she missed her so much.

Then I took Dahuang to the hair drying area in the big bathhouse to blow dry its hair.

When leaving with Dahuang and its belongings, Lin Gui took it to the inflatable pool to say goodbye to all the colleagues and the puppies. Regardless of Dahuang's desire, Mingxin noticed it, raised his eyebrows at Dahuang, and almost raised a hand to salute it.

Although he was reluctant to leave the big pool, Dahuang really missed Lin Gui and the snack shop. After being away from the big pool, Dahuang became very excited again and jumped around. Even Lin Gui could feel his inner excitement and took him back to the store at full speed.

The store was the same as usual. Tang Mingcheng and Xu Qi were on duty at this time. It looked like they had reassigned their shifts. Lin Gui and Da Huang were not too familiar with the store and did not need anyone to serve them. The man and the dog walked to their own area on their own.

Dahuang entered the fence, and Lin Gui went into the office to put her things away. When she arrived at the office, she found that there was suddenly one more person in the store.

"Hi."

"Hello." Lin Gui greeted the person in front of her and then asked, "Why are you here?"

"Ask them." Lin Baishan pointed and turned the chair, allowing Lin Gui to see the situation behind him.

There is also a blue cat and an orange cat in the first and second rows. The four cats seem to be playing Landlord, and they are having a lot of fun. Feiyan is watching from the side.

Feiyan, Xingyi are playing with the orange cat, Xinger and the blue cat seem to dislike each other, but both cats stick to the orange cat.

After looking at it for a while, I found that the orange cat is the group's favorite.

"I don't know how this kitten found its way into my house, and it kept sticking to Yuanbao. I heard you say before that it seemed to have a good relationship with the cats I have been feeding, so I brought Xingyi home, and then they became good friends. Yuanbao also likes them very much, so I brought Yuanbao and Xiaolan here." Lin Baishan told what he saw.

But Lin Gui didn't understand. She was only away for three or four days, not three or four months. Is it so easy for kittens to build relationships?

The little blue cat complained: No, these two robbers, ahhh, I'm so angry, my orange cat sister was robbed.

Although she didn't understand what was going on, Lin Gui still welcomed the four cats to play here. It just so happened that Feiyan cat was also here today.

Adults don’t know, but kittens know it very well.

Another two months passed, Xing'er had grown up a lot, and Xingyi was already a fully grown kitten. Xing'er watched Lin Baishan feeding Xingyi for several months without adopting him, and the whole cat was almost anxious, so it took action to see why this man hadn't adopted Xingyi yet.

Wow, Lin Gui had given up on this task a long time ago, but she didn’t expect Xing Er to be so serious.

His grown-up body size was just convenient for him to do these things. Climbing stairs and windows felt easy. After a while, he arrived at the balcony of Lin Baishan's bedroom. Humph, I grew up following the growth trajectory of Boss Leopard. It's so awesome. Xing Er was proud and turned his head to secretly look inside the glass door, scratching and scratching.

At this time, Yuanbao inside was woken up by Xing Er, and came to the door to look at the little cat.

Little did he know that Xing Er was shocked when he saw the cat. This was its mother. Although it had grown up, it would never forget its mother. The head shape and hair were exactly the same. So Xing Er became even more excited on the other side of the door.

I don’t know why Xing’er has such a deep memory of his cat mother. Although according to Xingyi, he was still young when he met Xing’er and should not remember what his mother looked like.

Yuanbao was puzzled, but seeing Xing Er's appearance, he opened the door and let it in. As soon as he opened the door, he was entangled by the kitten.

"Mom! Mom! I've been looking for you so hard." Xing Er complained while holding Yuanbao, meowing very loudly.

Question marks popped up in Yuanbao's head. God knows it, it has been following its owner for two years. It is a pure and innocent girl, but it has never given birth to a child. This is definitely a misunderstanding.

After Xing'er calmed down, Yuanbao explained the situation to it. It finally came to its senses and sniffed Yuanbao. It seemed that this was not its mother, but she looked exactly like him. From then on, Xing'er came to stick to Yuanbao every day.

What happened next is just as Lin Baishan said.
