Chapter 1696 Love Parting

Zhang Zian clearly remembers that when the business started to pick up last year, a father brought his son who was in elementary school to the pet store and wanted to buy a dog for him. He didn't have too many requirements on the type of dog, as long as the son liked it. That's fine.

The child usually lives in the city. Because his parents are busy with work, he will be sent back to his hometown in the countryside during the summer vacation, and his grandfather will help him take care of him.

At first, the little boy who was used to city life was out of tune with country life, but his grandfather had a big yellow dog, which was very obedient and not aggressive at all. Little boys usually like dogs, so they naturally played with this dog. Together. They went to the river to fish and catch shrimps, caught grasshoppers and butterflies together, and played wildly in the fields together...Leaving a summer vacation full of good memories.

After each semester holiday, the little boy would go back to the countryside and be inseparable from the big yellow dog all day long, enjoying the happiness that he would never experience in the city.

The little boy grows up year by year, and the big yellow dog grows old year by year, gradually unable to keep up with his running, and has lost a few teeth.

At the end of the summer vacation last year, the little boy returned to the city, thinking that this kind of life would last forever, but the day after he left, the big yellow dog died, as if he had waited for him to leave before he died .

Even though we only spent two or three months together a year, and even though he didn't see the big yellow dog die with his own eyes, the little boy still endured unspeakable pain. The pain was so painful that even his father couldn't bear to watch it, so he decided to take him to a pet shop to pick a dog. A new dog, no matter how expensive he chooses, will be bought for him, as long as it can make up for the wound in his heart.

If the little boy had been growing up with the big yellow dog, wouldn't he have endured several times the pain?

If... If the father had predicted this ending in advance, would he still let his son go back to his hometown in the countryside for the summer vacation? Will the big yellow dog be his son's playmate?

Zhang Zian didn't know, he never asked the father, and there was no if in history.

Among the customers who come to the pet store, there are novices who have pets for the first time. They are always full of longing for owning their own pets. There are also people who have had pets before. Now I want to keep them again, some because the pets got lost or stolen, and some because the pets died.

Zhang Zian has dealt with countless customers, and he can always identify some specific customers from the clues. After they enter the store, they are always staring at a certain kind of cat or dog, as if seeing something very familiar. Sometimes they will stare until their eyes are red... It is not the first time for them to have pets, and they also like pets very much. Some people bought the pet home after repeatedly asking about the lifespan of a certain pet, and some people hesitated and shook their heads leave.

There are not many such customers. They all suffered from the loss of their beloved pets. Some of them try to make up for the pain by raising new pets. Others still like pets, even more than the former, but their hearts have already changed I can't bear the second injury.

The little boy and his son belong to the former, while Cai Meiwen probably belongs to the latter.

She didn't let her daughter keep a pet because she was afraid that keeping a pet would delay her studies, at least not entirely.

She has lost pets and experienced unforgettable pain, so she never wants her daughter to experience such pain.

If possession is doomed to parting, then as long as you don't own it, it's fine.

Although she yelled out of composure in the pet shop, Zhang Zian didn't blame her, nor was she angry with her. How could he blame a mother who went all out to protect her daughter?

She is not hard-hearted, but if necessary, she is willing to play the bad guy. Although her daughter will complain about her from the bottom of her heart, what is this compared to the loss of a loved one?

He understood the reason for her gaffe, but the shop assistants didn't understand, neither did the elves, nor did Celery.

After all, Wang Qian and Li Kun were young and energetic, they couldn't take it anymore, they were about to turn their faces and curse at others on the spot, but Lu Yiyun and Jiang Feifei tried their best to stop them,

Otherwise, they scolded her as a trivial matter, how would Xiao Celery deal with herself in the future?

After a brief silence, Little Celery finally burst into tears.

"Mom, don't be angry... woo woo... It's all my fault, I don't want to keep pets anymore... woo woo..." Little Celery couldn't help crying, she couldn't stop her tears, she hugged her mother's thigh and begged.

Cai Meiwen's face was extremely ugly, her chest heaved violently, her lips trembled unceasingly, but she couldn't speak a word.

She didn't expect that Zhang Zian's eyesight was so sharp that he could see through the real reason why she refused Xiao Celery to keep a pet at a glance, and also saw through the secret she had buried in her heart for many years.

All I can say is, is he really worthy of being the manager of a pet shop?

"Little Celery, don't cry, your mother is not angry with you, on the contrary, she loves you more than anyone else in the world." Zhang Zian walked over and patted Little Celery on the shoulder.

Little Celery sobbed, staring up at her mother's face with tears in her eyes, as if she was asking for proof of Zhang Zian's words.

A clear tear fell silently from the corner of Cai Meiwen's eyes, dripping on Xiao Celery's face, and then, like a flood that broke a bank, she squatted down and hugged Xiao Celery into her arms, crying The liver and intestines are broken.

The clerks and elves who were excited just now were all dumbfounded by her crying.

what happened? A few seconds ago, she still looked like she was looking for faults and wanted to quarrel, but now she made it seem like she lost the quarrel, but they still haven't fought back!

Little Celery was even more at a loss. She didn't know why her mother was crying suddenly, so she could only cry with her mother.

Zhang Zian gave the shop assistants a wink, meaning stop watching, it's not convenient to explain now, let's do what we should do, after a while she has cried enough, maybe she will explain herself.

In a few seconds, a lot of water had seeped into the crack of the door. In order to avoid the sewage spreading from the door, the kittens retreated into the depths of the store, or climbed to the top of the display cabinet or on the shelves.

Zhang Zian and the shop assistants were busy working, mopping with a mop and sucking with a rag, finally clearing away the sewage that poured in temporarily.

Cai Meiwen gradually stopped crying, and gently patted her daughter's back, "Little Celery, be good, don't cry, don't cry your eyes out, wipe your tears, mom is not angry with you."

After coaxing Little Celery for a while, she helped Little Celery wipe away her tears, then turned to Zhang Zian and said, "You're right, I did have pets."

Little Celery stopped crying because she was too surprised, "Mom... have you ever had a pet?"

Cai Meiwen nodded, "It happened a long time ago."
