1686 Single mother
She was anxious and exhausted. After entering the room, she collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. Her face was pale and bloodless.
Zhang Zian quickly closed the window again, then brought her a towel, a set of Winter Pajamas, and a pair of slippers. He left the storage room and let her dry her hair and body. Then he changed into the pajamas, otherwise she might catch a cold. He didn’t have any other clothes suitable for her.
After a while, she opened the door and came out. She changed into her pajamas and slippers. She seemed to have stuffed the wet clothes into her bag and handed him a wet towel.”Thank you. Where’s my daughter?” she asked.
“Your daughter is on the first floor. Watch your step and don’t miss it.”
Zhang Zian could understand how anxious she was to see her daughter, so he pointed to the stairs.
She thanked him again and hurried to the first floor, with Zhang Zian slowly following behind.
“Little celery!”
“Mother!”
Little celery was already very anxious. When she suddenly heard her mother’s voice coming from behind, she was shocked. She turned around and saw that it was really her mother. She immediately ran into her mother’s arms.
Little celery had been worried about her mother’s safety. Now that she finally saw her mother, she was relieved and very happy. She was so happy that she even cried.
Her mother was also very excited. She hugged her small body while sobbing. Only a mother could understand her mother’s feelings at this time.
Lu Yiyun looked at the touching scene of the mother and daughter meeting and couldn’t help but think of her own mother. Although she had fallen out with her family because she dropped out of college, blood was still thicker than water. She often thought of her family in the middle of the night and then silently shed tears … But she had long made up her mind. Since her family looked down on her and opposed her painting as a career, she must make a name for herself before going back. Otherwise, she would not be able to repair their relationship and would definitely fall out again.
The second floor was very dark, while the first floor was brighter. Zhang Zian and the staff looked at little celery’s mother with the light.
She must be over 30 years old, but it was hard to say how old she was. She looked a little Haggard. After all, it was hard being a single mother. She had to take care of her work, life, and children. Fortunately, little celery was a good child. If she was a naughty child like Xu Zhuang Zhuang … She would probably have a lot of negative energy every day.
The shape of her face was similar to little celery ‘s. She was of medium height and a medium-thin figure. She had been wearing a business suit, and the makeup on her face had been washed away by the rain. Her arms, legs, feet, and hands had several scratches and scratches. It was not hard to imagine how dangerous the journey had been.
She held little celery for a while, then pushed her away a little, and looked her daughter up and down.
“Little celery, are you okay?”
“I’m fine. Mom, you’re hurt …” Little celery took her hand.
Lu Yiyun found a first aid kit and took out some iodophor for her to disinfect.
She wasn’t in a hurry to disinfect the wound. First, she looked at the Pet Shop and the others with a hint of vigilance.
” My name is Zhang Zian. I’m the manager of this pet shop. “
Zhang Zian and the staff introduced themselves one after another, because this way they were not completely strangers, and could more or less lower her guard.
“My name is Cai meiwen.” She also introduced herself.
Zhang Zian and the staff were moved. She and little celery had the same last name, which probably meant that she had changed little celery’s last name. Because ” Cai ” was not a common last name, the possibility that little celery’s father also had the last name ” Cai ” was very low … Of course, it was also possible that she had two children, one with the father’s last name and the other with the mother’s last name. Wasn’t this popular now? in short, there was no need to ask too much about other people’s family affairs. Every family had its own difficulties. He was not at the age where he was free enough to ask about other people’s gossip all day.
From their faces, Cai meiwen didn’t think they were bad people. There were also two young girls here, and the other two shop assistants were very lively and cheerful.
She saw that there were many cats and dogs in the shop, both young and adult, especially three big adult dogs. They looked scary and were not tied up, so she subconsciously pushed little celery behind her.
“Manager, aren’t you going to tie up your dog?” She pointed at famous, Fati, and Zhan Tian.
“Mother! They’re very well-behaved and never bite!” Little celery explained.
“Never bite?” Cai meiwen had a suspicious look on her face.”They say our dogs never bite. What if they really do?”
Her worries were not unreasonable. Many dog owners swore that their dogs would not bite. Except for a few breeds of dogs such as Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and Huskies, it was hard to say for sure whether other breeds of dogs would bite. They might not usually bite, but it was hard to say if they were provoked or frightened.
There was no point in saying more. Zhang Zian gave famous and the others a look, and they understood and left the first floor with Zhan Tian to the second floor.
Cai meiwen was stunned. These three big dogs had been tamed beyond her imagination. They didn’t even need to say a command and went upstairs by themselves as if they understood human nature.
She believed most of little celery’s claim that they didn’t bite. She felt a little embarrassed, but she couldn’t change her mind and ask them to come down, so she pretended not to know.
“This is a pet shop, right? There aren’t any snakes, spiders, or other animals, right?” She looked warily at the display cabinets in the dark.
“No, there are no poisonous animals.” Zhang Zian replied.
She heaved a sigh of relief.”That’s good.”
Little celery was also very embarrassed. She twisted her body uneasily, feeling sorry for Zhang Zian.
He secretly made a face at little celery, indicating that she didn’t need to mind.
From his childhood to running the Pet Shop by himself for a year, what kind of people had he not seen? There were many people in the world. Some people liked pets, and some people hated pets. Some people loved cats, and some people abused them. Some people loved dogs, and some people ate dogs. There was nothing new under the sun.
Cai meiwen didn’t seem to like dogs, especially big dogs. This was normal and excusable. Not everyone liked Yuan, and father MA even regretted setting up Alibaba.
Lu Yiyun took a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Cai meiwen.”Drink some water. There’s no way to boil water now that there’s a power outage. Your wound needs to be treated too.”
“Thank you,” he said.
Cai meiwen unscrewed the bottle cap and drank a few mouthfuls of water. She used the remaining water to wash the wound clean, then applied iodophor with a cotton swab to disinfect the wound. Little celery helped her from the side.
Zhang Zian gave the staff a look, meaning to tell them not to just stand there and watch. Do what you have to do and try to be natural. You’re giving them a lot of pressure by staring at them like this.
He and the staff continued to run back and forth between the Pet Shop and the aquarium, making jokes and doing silly things to liven up the atmosphere as usual.
The water level on the streets continued to rise, and the sewage seeped in even faster than before.
