Zhang Zi'an didn't spend Christmas Eve abroad, but he knew very well that China's Christmas Eve was nothing more than the carnival of merchants, the Good Friday of men's wallets and the full hotel, so when he saw Uncle Li also wearing a Santa hat at the door of the store, the whole person was not good!

Uncle Li noticed his strange eyes, took off his Santa hat in embarrassment, and explained: "My wife insisted on letting me wear it, saying that it could attract attention and promote it." ”

Zhang Zi'an nodded, in order to prevent their husband and wife from falling out of harmony, he didn't say anything - it is true that it attracts attention, but the promotion may not be possible, and he may be photographed on Weibo......

"Why don't you make a fuss here? Even my little shop is lit up with colorful lights and a whole plastic Christmas tree at the door. Uncle Li put down the lunch box and looked at Zhang Zi'an's store.

Zhang Zi'an smiled, "Actually, I was thinking about it a while ago, but I was busy these days, so I forgot about it, and when I woke up this morning and saw the time on my mobile phone, I remembered that today was Christmas Eve." ”

"It's good to be busy. Uncle Li nodded, "Business is good before it's busy." ”

Qiyuan pet store is no different from usual, it looks very alternative in the rich Christmas atmosphere, in the final analysis, Zhang Zi'an is too lazy to toss, he is not sure whether there are more customers than usual at Christmas - it stands to reason that it will not, it is quite common for parents to buy a kitten and puppy for their children as Christmas gifts abroad, but in China Christmas is a festival for young men and women after all, and it is rare to hear of anyone who takes cats and dogs to open a house...... Therefore, he is pessimistic about Christmas sales, and it is better to concentrate on diving in some groups to grab red envelopes.

Lu Yiyun, who usually immerses herself in painting, rarely gives herself a day off, she sits behind the cash register with Jasmine in her arms, watches Xiaoxue's live broadcast with her mobile phone, and smiles knowingly while watching.

Wang Qian and Li Kun went out for dinner with their school classmates today and only came over in the afternoon, so Zhang Zi'an only ordered two lunches for himself and Lu Yiyun.

"Xiaoyun, I'll go out in the afternoon, and you can leave work early after lunch. He placed her lunch box on the cash register table.

Lu Yiyun stared at the mobile phone screen to watch the live broadcast, nodded absentmindedly, and clicked a few times before she came back to her senses, "Huh, you will get off work at noon?" she asked blankly.

Zhang Zi'an took his lunch box and explained: "I'm going to help Xiao Celery in the afternoon, and bring Feimas and Zhan Tian over to let them pull the sled." ”

"Isn't there no one in the store that afternoon?" Lu Yiyun knew about this, and she was also present when we discussed it that day.

"It's Christmas Eve anyway, and I guess no one will come to buy pets, so you should go home early." Zhang Zi'an pretended to be generous.

Lu Yiyun shook his head very dryly and refused, "No need, the house is not as warm as here, and you have to turn on the electric heating, which costs money, and the house I rent is commercial electricity." ”

Zhang Zi'an: "......" The problem is that I also use commercial electricity here!

Qiyuan Pet Store is a commercial and residential house on the street, and he feels distressed for several days every time he pays the electricity and water bills.

As a last resort, he could only say truthfully: "Actually, I was planning to take some kittens and puppies to the school celebration of Little Celery, and her show ended with Santa Claus appearing in a dog sled and giving some kittens and puppies as gifts to his classmates." At first, they planned to use their own plush toys instead, but I thought about it, if I used plush toys, I am afraid that this show would not have a sensational effect, because many boys probably dislike plush toys, but it is different with real cats and dogs......"

Lu Yiyun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he exclaimed: "What a good way! Mr. Store Manager, you can think of it! In this case, the program of Little Celery's class is very likely to win a good ranking in the school anniversary selection!"

As you can imagine, when Santa Claus pulls out a pack of real kittens and puppies from his big baggage, it will definitely cause a sensation in the audience.

"Well, it's just an accident. I have no good character but intelligence. Zhang Zi'an was humble in his mouth and very useful in his heart.

Lu Yiyun had long been accustomed to his boasting, and after thinking about it, he asked again: "Are the kittens and puppies really given to the little celery's classmates?"

"How is that possible!"

Zhang Zi'an said categorically as if he was insulted: "Of course, it will be recycled after the show!

"Oh......"

Regarding Zhang Zi'an's answer, Lu Yiyun could only say that it was unexpected, if he said to give away all the kittens and puppies, then she really had to suspect that tomorrow would be the end of the world......

"But even then, the recycling process should be a bit troublesome, right?Mr. Storekeeper, you're a cat handler, it's easy to keep the kittens from running around, but what about the puppies?" she asked, a logical question.

Since Zhang Zi'an plans to close the store in the afternoon, the number of kittens and puppies he brought with him must be quite large, even to the extent that it affects the business of the store. Lu Yiyun imagined that on the stage of the school auditorium, when Santa Claus released the kittens and puppies, they must be running around in ignorance, and it is a trouble to recycle, and if you are not careful, there may be a few fewer - not to mention a few, even if there is one less, Zhang Zi'an estimates that the school will be turned upside down.

"That's right, so I plan to bring Wang Qian and Li Kun with me in the afternoon, and let them take care of me offstage. Zhang Zi'an also thought about this problem.

Lu Yiyun lowered her head and pulled a few mouthfuls of rice into her mouth, and Xiaoxue on the mobile phone screen was frowning, forcibly sending a special delicacy that didn't look good into her mouth.

"That'...... Mr. Storekeeper, I want to go with me too, can I go and see if I can help......" She hesitated for a moment, then cautiously requested.

Lu Yiyun's current life is basically only a line between home and a pet store, and he hasn't been to other places for a long time. Today is Christmas, she didn't take orders, and she was going to give herself a day off, but what to do on the holiday? The pet store is going to close temporarily, and Xiaoxue's live broadcast will end in a while, and the rest of the time is nothing more than going back home to lie down and read comics or make up for it, in fact, it is no different from usual.

She wanted to try to change her life, even a little. Although there are a lot of fun things to do in Binhai City, if she goes by herself, she will only feel more lonely. Taking advantage of the fact that Zhang Zi'an, Wang Qian and Li Kun were going to visit Xiaocele's primary school to visit the school celebration, she also wanted to go with her, so she should be distracted. In addition, she likes little celery very much, and she should go to the party.

Of course, Zhang Zi'an is happy, one more person to go means that the chance of losing kittens and puppies is one point less.

"You don't have anything else to do today?" he confirmed.

"Nope. Lu Yiyun shook his head.

"Okay, then when Wang Qian and Li Kun come, let's close the door and set off!"
