Six Hundred and Fortieth Eight Chapters Suspended Animation

Zhang Zian finished registering the information for Tingting and Xiao Zhuang, and they took photos with the poodle to their heart's content, and then he sent them out. Today was their first day of volunteering at the snack bar.

Watching them go to the snack bar, he followed Fei Masi's line of sight to the shop's signboard, and asked, "What's wrong with the signboard? You can't see the flowers even if you look at it."

Femas shook his head, "It's nothing, the name of the store is good."

Zhang Zian: "...don't tell me you just found out this is Qiyuan Pet Shop today."

"That's not true." Fimas didn't explain much, got in through the door he opened, and went back to the store.

Zhang Zian shrugged and glanced at the signboard again, but he didn't see anything special about it. He always felt that Fei Max was a bit strange today...

It was quite cold outside, and there were still quite a few people catching cats and dogs. He was about to go back to the store when he suddenly heard a crisp child's voice shouting: "Brother store manager, good morning!"

There was only one person who would call him that, and he turned around and responded, "Good morning, little Celery. Why do you wake up so early without going to school?"

Little Celery is wearing a fiery red down jacket, a woolen cap, and a schoolbag that she usually uses to go to school. The woolen cap has two balls of wool for decoration that rise and fall as she runs.

She was wearing a mask, and her voice seemed a little dull.

"Little Celery, don't run while wearing a mask, don't you feel overwhelmed?" Zhang Zian reminded.

She took off the mask and took a few breaths, "I don't like to wear a mask, but my mother insisted that I wear it, saying that this year's flu is more severe, but I rarely catch a cold!"

Zhang Zian corrected: "I know that little celery is in good health, but flu is not the same as a common cold. Your mother is right. You should wear it. There are indeed quite a lot of people who catch cold this year. Wearing a mask can help prevent it."

"Well, well, since the store manager also said so..." Little Celery reluctantly put on the mask again.

"Don't run while wearing a mask, walk slowly, otherwise you will be out of breath." He reminded again.

Little Celery nodded, and asked as if thinking of something: "By the way, brother store manager, do hamsters get the flu too?"

"Hamsters get the flu? Why do you ask that?" Zhang Zian asked first and then answered, "Hamsters can catch a cold, but even if they catch a cold, it's not a human flu infection. Human flu won't infect them."

"Oh." Most of Xiao Celery's face was covered by a mask, but her worried expression still showed through her eyes, "Brother, the store manager..."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Zian sensed that she had something to say, and it was difficult to speak up, "Little Celery has something to say, if you can help, I will help."

She lowered her head, twisted her fingers, peeked at him from time to time, her eye circles were slightly red, and said in a voice like a mosquito humming: "Brother store manager, the hamsters you gave us seem to have caught a cold, and then...then ...they are...dead...dead today...sorry...uh..."

The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, and finally she burst into tears, wiping the corners of her eyes frequently with gloved hands.

"died?"

Zhang Zian couldn't help frowning.

Little Celery and her class used the winter vacation to try to raise hamsters, and had to submit a breeding report before the start of school. If approved by the school, it would be promoted to the whole school. Zhang Zian provided them with a few trial hamsters for free, but they didn't have much money anyway.

A few days ago, he saw Xiao Celery rushing past the store, heading towards the school. At that time, he felt that there might be some problems with the hamsters they raised, but in line with the educational policy of encouraging them to find and solve problems by themselves, He didn't stop her from asking, hoping that they could solve the problem by themselves. It seems that they may have overestimated their ability? After all, they are still too young.

"Little Celery, don't cry yet. It's so cold, if you cry, your skin will get frostbite." He knelt down and comforted her, and pulled her hand away, seeing that the skin around her eyes was rubbed red.

"But... but... the store manager, you handed over the hamsters to us, but we couldn't... take care of them... woooo..." Little Celery was very sad,

Tears rolled down his cheeks.

She and her classmates devoted a lot of enthusiasm and hard work to raising these hamsters. They thought they could hand in a beautiful breeding report, but they all died. Not only was the previous hard work in vain, but it also failed Zhang Zian's ambition. trust.

The usual Little Celery always had a smile on her face and was full of energy. Seeing her like this made Zhang Zian feel bad. But he is an adult after all, and he must think of a solution like an adult at this time, instead of trying to persuade her not to cry in vain.

"Little Celery, you heard me, don't cry anymore, you have to remember, crying may be able to vent your emotions and gain sympathy, but it can't solve any problems." He said word by word in a moderate voice.

"But..." Little Celery choked up.

"Little Celery, tell me first, when did those hamsters die?" He asked, interrupting her remorse.

It may be that his calmness successfully affected her, and her mood calmed down a little, "It's just this morning... the message that Yaning sent me..."

"Is it the biology committee member in your class?" He recalled and confirmed.

"Well..." She nodded, "It's Yaning's turn to take care of them today, I don't have to go to school..."

Wang Yaning is Xiao Celery's classmate and biological committee member, like a little adult, he looks like a big kid all day long.

"So you didn't see the hamsters die, you just heard her tell them?" he asked again.

Little Celery nodded again, "I got up in the morning and was doing my homework for the winter vacation. She sent a message saying that all the hamsters were dead...I want to go to school to have a look at them..."

"How many hamsters died today?" Zhang Zian asked with a suspicious point.

Hamsters can die, but it's not normal to die at the same time, unless it's poisoned or something, or...

"Hmm..." She lowered her head even lower, "I'm sorry, they were a little limp a few days ago, but they all died today..."

Her eyes were red, and she was about to cry again, but Zhang Zian felt relieved, rubbed her little head, and said with a smile: "Little celery, don't worry, don't be sad, they may not be dead yet."

"Huh?" Little Celery was stunned, then shook her head and said, "No, Yaning won't lie, and she won't make such jokes..."

Zhang Zian seriously explained: "No, I believe she is not joking, she may really think that the hamsters are dead, but in fact she misunderstood, because the hamsters may not be dead, but fake hibernation, it looks like dead Same!"
