Zhang Zi'an registered Tingting and Xiaozhuang, and they also took photos with the poodle puppies, and then he sent them out, today is their first day of volunteering at the snack bar.

Seeing them walk towards the snack bar, he followed Pemmas's line of sight to the sign of the shop and asked, "What's wrong with the sign?" ”

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

Zhang Zi'an: "...... Don't tell me you only found out today that this is the Odd Fortune Pet Shop. ”

"Not really. Without much explanation, Pemmas slipped through the door he had opened and returned to the store.

Zhang Zi'an shrugged his shoulders and glanced at the signboard again, but he didn't see anything famous, and he always felt that today's Feimas was a little weird......

It was quite cold outside, and there were still many people catching cats and dogs, and he was about to go back to the store when he suddenly heard a crisp children'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 don't you go to school and get up so early?"

Little Celery was wearing a fiery red down jacket and a beanie, carrying a schoolbag that she usually used for school, and the beanie hat was connected with two decorative woolen balls that fell together with her running.

She was wearing a mask, and her voice was a little muffled.

"Little celery, don't run while wearing a mask, don't you feel panicked?" Zhang Zi'an reminded.

She took off her mask and gasped for breath, "I don't like to wear a mask, but my mother insisted on letting me wear it, saying that the flu is worse this year, but I rarely catch a cold!"

Zhang Zi'an corrected: "I know that Xiao Celery is in good health, but the flu is not equal to a common cold, your mother is right, let's wear it, there are indeed a lot of people who have colds this year, and wearing a mask can prevent it to some extent." ”

"Well, well, since the store manager's brother said the same......" Celery reluctantly put on her mask again.

"Don't run with your mask on, walk slowly, or you'll lose your breath. He reminded again.

Little celery nodded, and asked as if remembering something: "By the way, brother store manager, do hamsters also get the flu?"

"Hamsters get flu? Why do you ask?" Zhang Zi'an asked first and then answered, "hamsters can catch a cold, but even if they have a cold, it is not infected with human influenza, and human influenza will not infect them." ”

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

"What's wrong?" Zhang Zi'an noticed that she had something to say, and it was difficult to speak, "Little celery might as well say something directly, if I can help, I will definitely help." ”

She lowered her head, wringed her fingers, peeked at him from time to time, her eyes were slightly red, and she said in a mosquito-like voice: "Brother store manager, those hamsters you gave us seem to have a cold, and then ...... And then...... They ...... today Die...... He's dead...... I'm sorry...... Woohoo......"

The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became, and at last she began to cry silently, wiping the corners of her eyes frequently with her gloved hands.

"Dead?"

Zhang Zi'an couldn't help frowning.

The celery class uses the winter vacation to try to raise hamsters, and must submit a breeding report before the start of school, and if it is approved by the school, it will be promoted to the whole school. Zhang Zi'an provided them with a few trial hamsters for free, and they didn't have much money anyway.

He saw little celery hurrying past the store a few days ago, heading in the direction of the school, and at that time he thought that there might be something wrong with their hamsters, but in line with the educational policy of encouraging them to find and solve problems on their own, he did not stop her and ask them carefully, hoping that they could solve the problem by themselves.

"Little celery, don't cry yet. It's so cold, your skin will get frostbite if you cry. He squatted down and reassured, and pulled her hand away, seeing that the skin at the corners of her eyes was red.

"But...... But...... Brother store manager, you handed us the hamster, but we couldn't ...... Take care of them...... Woo woo...... "Little celery was very sad, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

She and her classmates poured a lot of enthusiasm and effort into raising these hamsters, thinking that they could hand over a beautiful breeding report, but they all died, not only did their previous hard work go to waste, but also betrayed Zhang Zi'an's trust.

Usually Xiao Celery is always smiling and full of vitality, seeing her like this, Zhang Zi's heart is not happy. But he is an adult after all, and at this time, he must come up with a solution like an adult, instead of emptyly persuading her not to cry.

"Little celery, when you hear me, don't cry – remember, crying may be cathartic and sympathetic, but it won't solve anything. He said word by word in a small voice.

"But......," little celery choked.

"Little celery, tell me first, when did those hamsters die?" he asked, interrupting her self-reproach.

It may have been that his composure had managed to affect her, and her mood calmed a little, "It was this morning...... Message from Yaning......"

"Is that the creature commissioner in your class?" he recalled, confirming.

"Hmm......" 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 biology committee member, like a little adult, looking like a big stinky fart all day long.

"So, you didn't see the hamsters die, you just listened to her?" he asked again.

Little Celery nodded again, "I woke up in the morning and was doing my winter vacation homework, and she sent a message saying that the hamsters were all dead...... I want to go to school and see them again......"

"How many hamsters died today?" Zhang Zi'an asked, grasping a suspicious point.

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

"Uh-huh......" she lowered her head, "I'm sorry, they wilted a little a few days ago, and they all died today......"

Her eyes were red, and she was about to cry again, but Zhang Zi'an was light, rubbed her little head, showed a smile and said, "Little celery, don't worry, don't be sad, they may not be dead yet." ”

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

Zhang Zi'an explained seriously: "No, I believe she is not joking, she may indeed think that the hamsters are dead, but in fact she misunderstood, because the hamsters may not be dead, but fake hibernation, and it looks like they are dead!"
