Chapter 61
"I'm afraid not. It's not very convenient." Lin Baishan politely declined Zhou Xiao's request.
At eight o'clock, he bought something and left. Lin Gui guessed that he would go to feed Xingyi again, so she asked Zhou Xiao and Tang Mingcheng to watch the store and make snacks when she came back.
I went to the bushes where I was yesterday to see if I could find any actual footage of him feeding Xingyi.
What a coincidence, they met this time. Lin Gui walked to the place where Xingyi appeared yesterday. After walking a few steps forward, she heard the small movements of Lin Baishan and Xingyi.
"Cough cough cough." Lin Gui made a sound, indicating that she had discovered them.
Lin Baishan raised his head and met Lin Gui's gaze. Lin Gui smiled and said, "What a coincidence."
Not long after they walked out of the store, the two of them ran into each other. Anyone who was paying attention would suspect that Lin Gui was following them maliciously.
Fortunately, Xingyi was here. Lin Gui pretended to be looking for Xingyi, and she also brought some snacks for Xingyi in an attempt to cover up her mistake.
The two sat on chairs nearby, watching Xingyi slurping his snacks. He was lucky today, as he ate two cat portions at once. When he finished, Lin Gui heard him burp. He introduced Xingyi's life story to Lin Baishan.
"So this is one of the two brothers you mentioned. Is it the older brother or the younger brother?" Lin Baishan said knowingly.
"Yes, it's the older brother. When they first came, Xingyi was still a little boy. Now he has grown up. Time flies." Lin Gui said with emotion.
"I see. When I first started feeding it, I saw a kitten. That must be the little brother. When I brought some more food the next day, it was gone." This time it was Xing Er who was talking.
Xing Er regarded him as the culprit who separated the brothers, so of course he disliked him.
"That little underage cat has taken on the stubborn personality of the local boss," Lin Gui explained on behalf of Xing Er, then curiously asked, "But when did you start feeding Xing Yi?"
Lin Baishan thought about when he met Xingyi. It seemed to be the day when he brought his cat back from a medical consultation.
Lin Baishan's cat is called Yuanbao, a yellow tabby cat, or a big orange cat. Before he met Yuanbao, Lin Baishan was just an ordinary restaurant waiter.
He had a low level of education and his parents favored his younger brother, so after graduating from high school, he followed his classmates and ran away from his parents to come to the city of Pingshi to work.
I started working as a waiter. After two years of work and was hesitating whether to go to college, I saw this kitten on my way home from get off work.
When Lin Baishan saw it, it had been hit by a car and was covered in blood. The passers-by passing by did not stop for it.
Seeing its pitiful appearance, he couldn't help but remember that he was also alone, so he prepared to go forward and collect its body.
When he touched it, he found that the kitten was not dead yet and still had a heartbeat. The kitten had survived for so long. If he hadn't taken care of it, he didn't know if it would still survive.
So he took off his coat, picked up the kitten, and quickly rushed it to the hospital.
Yuanbao was indeed seriously injured at the beginning and underwent three surgeries. Even now, he still has to go to the hospital for regular checkups. The surgery only saved his life, but some irreversible injuries cannot be treated.
So Yuanbao is a little disabled now. The bones in his left hind leg are not growing properly, and it is very obvious when he runs.
Lin Baishan almost spent all of his savings on Yuanbao's treatment, and he also had to take care of it at home. The waiter worked twelve hours a day and was not able to take good care of Yuanbao.
So Lin Baishan quit his job and started playing games at home.
The income from playing with children is unstable, but the time is flexible. The house I lived in before did not allow pets, so I moved to the Lingui community.
Lin Baishan recalled what had happened in the past year or two and felt that time had passed very quickly. Although Yuanbao had cost him a lot of money, after having Yuanbao's company in the past year or two, he felt that he was finally not alone.
The reason I met Xingyi was because Yuanbao went to the hospital for a follow-up check-up and his condition was not good. The doctor told me to be prepared.
He also guessed that Yuanbao had gradually lost interest in eating over the past six months. He used to feed it milk almost every day to keep it healthy.
However, since Lin Gui opened his snack shop, Yuanbao started to eat again slowly, but he didn't eat as much as he did right after the treatment.
The day he met Xingyi, he brought Yuanbao back from the hospital. The doctor said that its body functions were getting worse and worse. Lin Baishan walked back in a daze holding it.
He saw Xingyi downstairs at his workplace. At this time, Xingyi was lively and active, running around downstairs, which reminded Lin Baishan of how lively Yuanbao was. When his injury had just healed, Yuanbao was still quite lively, friendly and clingy. When Lin Baishan was playing games, it would always stay by his side.
When he saw Lin Gui, he thought of Yuanbao, so he would give it the food that Yuanbao could not finish. Gradually, he developed a habit of feeding it frequently.
Now Yuanbao neither likes to eat nor likes to sleep. Lin Baishan sometimes doesn't want to face him. When he goes out, he will touch Xingyi more, hoping that it can pass the breath of health to Yuanbao.
Lin Baishan did not tell Lin Gui the whole reason why he fed Xingyi, he just said that he often encountered it, so he fed it.
Lin Gui didn't quite believe this reason and continued, "Since we're here, why not go meet your little kitty? I was scared when I saw that blue cat last time. It's so lively."
This bush is very close to the apartment building to the north.
Lin Baishan refused Lin Gui, saying that their cat preferred to sleep and must be asleep at this time. It would be inconvenient to receive strangers.
After being rejected, Lin Gui did not show any eagerness. After they parted ways, they each returned to their respective places.
When Lin Baishan returned home, he found that Yuanbao, who was always sleepy, was not sleeping today. He was squatting by the door waiting for him to come back. The blue cat was very lively and active, running around it.
Yuanbao has become more and more sleepy in recent days. He used to only sleep about 12 hours a day, but now he can sleep 16 hours. Most of the time, Lin Baishan sees him sleeping.
Even though he played games with the kitten day and night and often looked at it from time to time, he never saw it being very lively.
Most of them are sleeping or in a daze, and the whole kitten does not look very lively.
At first, Lin Baishan refused his friend to leave the blue cat with him, but after thinking about it, he wanted to find a companion for Yuanbao, maybe it could get better, so he agreed.
Because the hospital had performed many surgeries before, it was reluctant to perform another surgery with a low success rate.
But Yuanbao did not become lively because of the arrival of the blue cat, and the blue cat would occasionally disturb it.
The reason why this blue cat is not plump is because it loves exercising so much that it doesn’t eat enough to burn the calories.
So Lin Baishan divided the small room into two parts. One room with a bay window was for Yuanbao to sleep, and the other was for Blue Cat to use for parkour.
He has made all the preparations and only hopes that Yuanbao can live happily and joyfully in the last part of his life.
Lin Gui returned to the store disappointed, but still had no news on whether she could adopt the child successfully.
Is this mission going to be declared a failure?
I started asking 009, "How will your system judge if a mission fails? Will there be any punishment?"
009 said, "That won't happen." Because the tasks are all about the wishes of small animals. This time the wish is the second one, not the first one.
"That's good," Lin Gui said with relief. She was just sorry that she couldn't help Xingyi find a suitable adopter.
But Xing Er should be very happy about this. If they don't find an adoptive parent, will Xing Yi and Xing Er still be separated?
It's hard to say for sure. I feel like cats tend to separate when they grow up. Especially since Xingyi is currently thinking about separation.
It seems that we need to give Xinger the opportunity to grow up independently. A kitten can only truly survive if it is independent and cannot rely on its brothers and sisters.
Put yourself in his shoes. If Xing Er's brother was a cat like Bao Lao Da, he would probably chase Xing Er away instead of letting him cling to him.
I made snacks while thinking. This time I made a lot of carrot rings because it is simple. I cut the carrots into strips and then roast them in the oven or dryer. Lin Gui bought a lot of basic equipment for making snacks this time. I roasted the carrots slightly, then wrapped them with chicken breast and continued to roast them.
The snacks made this time were not as fragrant as the meatballs, so they did not attract many people to come and see. However, the dogs that came to the store would circle around here.
When you walk around, you will taste the freshly baked snacks fed by Lin Gui herself, and then go to find Brother Dahuang after eating.
During this period, Song Shuyi finally formulated the rules for the dog adoption activity.
It’s really amazing! Lin Gui couldn’t help but admire it. After all, this is an adoption event for more than 80 dogs.
Song Shuyi came with a thick stack of task reports. Someone must look after the dogs during the activity, a manager.
So the people Lin Gui recruited were finally useful. They had to settle the dogs in the new base before they moved into it.
009 previously said that the renovation of the base would take 15 days. Now eight or nine days have passed, and it will take at most a week for the dogs to enter the base.
In Song Shuyi's activity schedule, there is a rule to investigate the situation of each dog. It would be best if each dog has its own photo, and the dogs can be promoted just like the cat adoption meeting before. This task can only be done by Lin Gui herself.
Lin Gui remembered that Jiang Li’s hospital had taken photos of these dogs when they had given them a rough physical examination.
I don’t know if they are still there. If they are, I can go directly to their hospital and get all the photos over to save the trouble of taking them one by one.
Once I thought of this, I acted quickly and sent a message to Jiang Yi, asking her to help find it. Jiang Yi replied immediately. I didn't send it to Jiang Li because he was busy and it was inconvenient to find him.
Jiang Yi is very reliable in her work. She found it in just 20 minutes. Lin Gui opened the photos and showed them to Song Shuyi to see if they met the standards.
Song Shuyi looked at the dog photos that looked like ID photos, and told Lin Gui sternly that these were not allowed.
"You have to capture the best of these dogs. ID photos aren't good enough. It's best to capture photos of dogs laughing and playing."
After hearing this request, it seems that I have to make a special trip to Xiaowangzhuang and bring Dahuang with me. It will be easier to take pictures of some dogs with Dahuang, especially Xiaohei and his group of good dog friends.
