Chapter 22
Looking at the incoming call message, Lin Gui was a little curious as to why Jiang Li would call her so late at night, so she pressed the answer button.
"I heard that you had a battle of wits and courage with the dog dealer today. I hope nothing happened." Jiang Li asked a little worriedly on the other end of the phone.
"Did the news spread so quickly? You already know everything. I'm fine. I'm more curious about how you knew." Lin Gui asked curiously.
"Today, three puppies came to our hospital for physical examinations. Upon inquiry, we found out that they were all rescued from dog dealers. One of them kept praising you. I listened carefully and saw your name, and I guessed if it was you. It seems I guessed right." Jiang Li explained with a smile.
"Wow, it seems your hospital has a great reputation. Three families all came to you." Lin Gui exclaimed.
"I'm glad you're okay. I just called to ask about your situation. You must be tired today. Have a good rest." Jiang Li heard Lin Gui yawning on the other end of the phone and asked her to have a good rest.
"That's fine. I'm not scheduled to be on duty tonight. By the way, how's Becky?"
"It's in very good condition. We gave it a full checkup yesterday and found nothing abnormal. Its adoptive parents will come to pick it up in two days." Jiang Li explained Becky's condition in detail.
"Was that adopted by Sister Hua Qin?" Lin Gui asked.
"Yes."
Lin Gui learned about Becky's condition. It seemed that Becky was in very good condition, which meant that the first side quest was completed very well.
Because she was too tired today, Lin Gui went to bed early. At first, Dahuang was watching TV in the living room with his beloved little bone in his mouth. When Lin Gui was resting, considering that Dahuang was not sleepy so early, she left the TV on and let Dahuang continue to play in the living room. However, after staying in the living room without Lin Gui for a while, Dahuang couldn't help but go back to the bedroom to accompany Lin Gui.
Still a very clingy little puppy.
The next day, Lin Gui woke up feeling refreshed. Yesterday's fatigue was gone. She took Dahuang to the small park for a walk full of energy. This time, she also brought her newly bought dog frisbee and took Dahuang for a good play.
As the sun rises in the morning, there is still dew on the grass in the park. At this time, there are few people on the green grass in the small park, and this area is temporarily contracted by rhubarb.
From a distance, a frisbee was seen spinning in the sky, and Dahuang stared at it intently, his body moving with it. At the moment when the frisbee was about to land, Dahuang gathered strength in his hind legs, jumped hard, and successfully caught it. Then he ran to Lin Gui with a smile on his face. Lin Gui took the frisbee in his mouth, praised him, and took out a small meatball to feed him as a reward.
Then he continued to throw the frisbee into the sky, and Dahuang chased it quickly like a sharp arrow.
In this way, Lin Gui played with Da Huang for less than an hour. She herself was not tired, but Da Huang was obviously tired and panting, so Lin Gui took Da Huang back to the shop.
As soon as Dahuang entered the store, he lay down on his own small mat. Even after walking into the store, this short time was not enough for Dahuang to calm down, and he was still panting slightly on the mat.
Seeing that Dahuang looked so tired today, Lin Gui knew that Dahuang's exercise volume was up to standard. Dahuang had been eating well recently, and Lin Gui was busy and didn't take him to exercise much, so Dahuang had obviously gained weight. Dogs have to control their weight, so it is better to detect and treat it early than to lose weight later through dieting.
Since Lin Gui was promoted to level six, the system has rewarded her with more and more shelves and snacks. Lin Gui decided to recruit more people to help so that she can free up her hands to run the pet rescue base that 009 has always dreamed of.
Yesterday, I promised Aunt Ye that I would go to her house for dinner. Before noon, Aunt Ye called to ask when Lin Gui would come to her house so that she could make preparations. She also asked what dishes Lin Gui liked to eat.
Of course, Lin Gui followed the host's example and told Aunt Ye that she was not picky about food. After agreeing on a specific time with Aunt Ye, Lin Gui went to a nearby fruit store to buy a fruit basket. After all, she couldn't visit someone's house empty-handed.
On the way to Aunt Ye's house, Lin Gui once again made up her mind to buy a car. She would travel more and more frequently in the future, and buying a car would be the most convenient. Besides, if she bought a car, Dahuang could also travel with her.
They soon arrived at Aunt Ye's house. Since the driver couldn't drive in due to the small road, Lin Gui asked the driver to stop by the roadside and got out and walked in.
After getting off the bus, while Lin Gui was trying to find her way, someone came up to her and said, "Hello, is this Lin Gui?"
The person who came should still be in school. He exudes youthfulness and wears a blue shirt and a white inner layer. His slightly long short hair just covers his forehead, leaving only his bright eyes. He must have been here for a long time. He came to ask as soon as he got off the bus in Lin Gui.
"Yes, it's me. What can I do for you?" Lin Gui was very surprised that someone was waiting for her here.
"Oh, I'm here to pick you up. My mom was afraid that you wouldn't be able to find the way. The routes here are quite confusing." The young man carefully explained to Lin Gui and introduced himself.
He took the fruit basket from Lin Gui and walked towards his home with her. He talked to her as they walked: "Thank you so much for saving Niuniu. I heard from my mother that if it weren't for you, Niuniu would have been in great danger."
"It's thanks to the police officers that they arrived in time. I didn't play a big role." Lin Gui said modestly.
Although 009 couldn't speak, he couldn't help but say something in front of Lin Gui: "Shh~ (whistling), yo, young man is big."
Lin Gui ignored 009's teasing and continued to talk calmly with Ye Xuan.
Although the route through the alley is winding, as long as you find the right way, you can reach your destination quickly. After two or three minutes, Lin Gui and her friends arrived at Aunt Ye's house. Aunt Ye was already waiting at the door. When she saw Lin Gui coming, she began to greet her and asked her husband, Uncle Li, to quickly serve the food.
Lin Gui politely greeted Aunt Ye, Uncle Li, and Niuniu. Niuniu was also very happy to see Lin Gui and followed her closely. Ye Xuan placed Lin Gui's fruit basket on the table. Aunt Ye saw it and came over to Lin Gui and said, "Hey, Xiao Lin, why did you bring a gift? I invited you to dinner today to thank you. You brought a gift. It's really something I'm asking of you."
"Auntie, I'm also here to thank you. If you hadn't helped me yesterday, Officer Zhao would have definitely asked me to find the parents."
"It's such a small favor." She told Lin Gui to take a seat and introduced her to her family. "This is my husband, you can just call him Uncle Li." Uncle Li stood up and shook hands with Lin Gui as usual. Lin Gui subconsciously stood up to return the greeting. Aunt Ye saw this and said to Uncle Li, "I've told you so many times, don't act like a boss when you get home."
Then he introduced: "This is my son Ye Xuan. You are about the same age as me. You are familiar with the way here. Let's visit him often in the future." Ye Xuan also greeted Lin Gui.
After the introduction, Aunt Ye began to invite Lin Gui to eat.
"I don't know what you like to eat, so I made some home-cooked dishes from Ping City. Please try them."
"Thank you, Auntie. This looks so familiar. I can't make something this delicious myself."
"Really? Then you should eat more. This braised bamboo shoots is just right in season now, and they are so tender." Aunt Ye said as she put some vegetables into Lin Gui's bowl.
Lin Gui really couldn't refuse Aunt Ye's hospitality and silently accepted a few chopsticks of braised bamboo shoots.
"This is also good, pork ribs with preserved plums. This is something I just learned to make recently. Your uncle and the others all said it's good. I got up early this time to go to the market to pick out the spare ribs, and they're great." Aunt Ye carefully selected a few pieces of pork ribs that looked great and handed them to Lin Gui.
Lin Gui's eating speed was far slower than that of her aunt, as she picked up the food with just a few chopsticks.
At this time, Ye Xuan spoke up: "Mom, go slower, look at other people's bowls, there's food all over them." Aunt Ye slowly stopped.
Lin Gui was finally able to slow down and eat.
At this time, Uncle Li asked Lin Gui, "Is Xiaolin still going to school this year?"
Lin Gui replied that she had just graduated, and Uncle Li asked, "How's the job market going? Have you found one? I have a few good positions here, and I can recommend them to you."
Lin Gui thanked Uncle Li for his kindness and explained that she currently has her own career.
Uncle Li heard that there was no problem with Lin Gui's work, so he didn't say much. At this time, Aunt Ye said, "Xiao Lin, you own a shop, right? If you need any promotion, just go to your uncle Li. He's in charge of it."
Uncle Li also said at this time that if there were any problems, they could come to him.
Lin Gui was very grateful for the kindness of Aunt Ye and her family.
Everyone was very happy during the meal, including Niu Niu. Although she couldn't eat the food at the table, Lin Gui came with not only a fruit basket but also a gift bag of snacks. Niu Niu was enjoying it and was not affected by the delicious food on the table at all.
After dinner, after a while, Lin Gui said that the store needed to be looked after and repeatedly refused Aunt Ye's offer to keep her for dinner. She was ready to go back to the store. Aunt Ye asked Ye Xuan to send Lin Gui out.
After leaving the house, Lin Gui finally sighed. Aunt Ye was too enthusiastic.
Ye Xuan took Lin Gui to take a taxi back to the store. Along the way, they talked a lot about small animals. It turned out that Ye Xuan was the leader of the university's stray animal assistance club and had been responsible for various problems of stray animals in the school.
We strongly admire Lin Gui's selfless act of helping the dogs defeat the dog dealers.
Lin Gui felt that the way he described herself seemed to have been beautified in many ways. It seemed that Aunt Ye’s propaganda had added a lot of "exaggeration".
Fortunately, the road was not too long. Lin Gui was almost embarrassed to death when she heard Ye Xuan's praise. The cobblestones on the road in this alley were almost removed by Lin Gui.
When she reached the roadside, she quickly hailed a taxi and said goodbye to Ye Xuan. Only after she got in the car did Lin Gui slowly calm down. It turned out that listening to other people's praise was also a burden.
Trying to think of something else quickly to get rid of these awkward compliments from her mind, Lin Gui thought of the cat in the community. For some reason, the cat and Lin Gui always had unexpected encounters.
