Chapter 1693: Chapter 1693-fate
Translator: 549690339
The wind howled above Binhai city, but the rain did not slow down. Sotis there was no wind, but the next second, the wind was so strong that it felt like it was going to blow the roof off.
Typhoons didn’t hit Binhai city often, but in this year’s climate temperature rose, the ocean soured, and even the once-in-a-century flood occurred every three to five tis. In comparison, typhoons weren’t that rare. It just happened to turn to Binhai city this year.
Little celery spoke very slowly, but it didn’t matter. They couldn’t do anything else in this weather anyway, and even sleeping was a luxury.
There was a strong wind outside and a light wind inside. The candlelight swayed violently in the wind, and the room flickered between light and dark. The atmosphere was very suitable for stories.
In addition to the necessary work of absorbing water, wringing rags, pouring sewage water on the second floor, adding ice and sea salt to the aquarium, everyone was listening to little celery’s story. Because she spoke slowly and the things she talked about were very familiar to everyone, even if she went to pour water and add ice, she could co back and continue.
Zhang Zian couldn’t help but feel disappointed. Looking around at the furnishings that had changed beyond recognition, for the first ti, he had a certain idea that what his parents had left him was not only the Pet Shop itself, but also so invisible and intangible things that did exist.
Because he had been studying and working in other places for a long ti, his general impression of his parents ‘daily life in the Pet Shop was still that of his middle school days. Little celery’s story helped him fill in the last days of his parents’ life, as if filling a blank space in his heart.
The staff was also entranced by the story. Except for Jiang Feifei, the other three had entered the store at about the sa ti. However, no matter who it was on their first day of work, they would always see a little girl with two braids jumping around to check in. She was almost never absent on any school day. They thought that she was just a neighbor’s child that Zhang Zian knew, but they didn’t expect that she had such a complicated experience before … She seed to be the best employee in the Pet Shop.
The Elfins were also listening attentively. Famous and the Fati were lying on the upper floor of the stairwell, listening. Even Pi was quietly sticking its head out to listen. Although Sihwa was far away in the bathroom on the second floor, with her hearing, as long as she wanted to listen, she could hear everything on the first floor clearly. This happened before they ca to the Pet Shop. It wasn’t even recorded in Pi’s novel, at least not now.
Cai iwen couldn’t rember what had happened a year ago at all. She couldn’t rember that little celery had once ntioned the term “lop-eared rabbit,” nor did she rember that she had once said sothing like “we don’t have pets at ho.” However, this did sound like sothing she would say. Perhaps this was the so-called saying,”the speaker didn’t an it, but the listener took it in.”
Her eyes fell on the cashier at the door, where little celery’s exercise book was spread out, and the only ergency light in the shop was placed next to it.
She rembered that when she first saw little celery, she was so excited that she forgot about other things. Now that she thought about it, little celery was very relaxed in the store, and this kind of relaxation couldn’t be faked. She would only be so relaxed in a very familiar and safe place.
Therefore, little celery did not mix with strangers easily. Her fate with the Pet Shop had started a long ti ago, and it had gradually deepened.
“The owner couple is …” Cai iwen’s eyes fell on Zhang Zian’s face.
“My parents.” He answered simply.
“They …” Cai iwen hesitantly scanned the store again, but she didn’t see any signs of middle-aged or elderly people.
There were a few parts that were unclear in little celery’s story, including the period when she had to close down for so unknown reason. Cai iwen had an impression of the period when little celery was in low spirits, but now she knew that it was because the Pet Shop had closed.
As an individual store, it was normal for it to close for a while. The store owner might have gone back to his hotown to visit relatives, or he might have gone on a holiday, or he might just want to rest for a few days. After all, 365 days of work in a year was too tiring … However, even if it was a temporary closing, he would usually inform the old custors in advance or put a notice on the door to tell the store owner where the custors had gone and when they would co back, so as to prevent the custors from being left empty again.
According to little celery, the shop owner and his wife had suddenly closed their business. One day, they were still working well, and the next day …
This future gave Cai iwen a bad feeling.
“They’re … Gone,” Zhang Zian replied.
His answer was very vague, but his expression and tone already showed the actual aning of the word “left.”
Cai iwen frowned and glanced at the confused little celery. This was the answer she didn’t want to hear the most. Fortunately, Zhang Zian didn’t answer her directly.
“I understand.” She sighed and rubbed her throbbing temples.
She didn’t know if it was because she had caught a cold in the rain or because she had heard and seen too many unexpected things, but the depths of her head ached.
She regretted that she had been too busy with work and neglected her daughter’s feelings. This was undoubtedly her dereliction of duty as a mother.
She worked hard to create better living conditions for her daughter, at least so that little celery wouldn’t fall behind her parents ‘family financially, but she couldn’t use this as an excuse to shirk her responsibility.
If she had gone back in ti, she would definitely have communicated more with her daughter and would not have ignored the signs that her daughter wanted to say sothing but hesitated. In fact, she had ti to notice these signs, but she always lied to herself with the excuse that “if my daughter doesn’t say anything, it ans that it’s nothing.” After all, she had to work and take care of the family. It was really tiring. Sotis, she just wanted to sleep without thinking.
Little celery looked at Zhang Zian for his permission, then ran to the display cabinet happily. She opened the glass lid, carefully took out the lop-eared rabbit, and then carried it to her mother.
“Mom, look, these are the ears!” She smiled happily.
Today, he didn’t have to worry about his ears breaking out of prison again, because the door and windows were all sealed.
Ear was also very obedient today. It probably felt the elves ‘covetous eyes, so it didn’t dare to run away and obediently let little celery hold it.
Cai iwen glanced at the lop-eared rabbit. It was indeed very cute. It was so soft and cute that all girls would like it. Even she would feel pity for it.
Jiang Feifei wanted to help break the awkward atmosphere out of good intentions. She smiled and said,”Little celery, if you really like it, and if your mother agrees to let you raise it, I’ll give you the ear today!”
In Jiang Feifei’s mind, after hearing little celery’s touching story, as long as she was not stone-hearted, a mother should not object to her daughter having a pet.
Little celery looked at her mother expectantly.
To his surprise, Cai iwen rejected him again.”I appreciate your kindness, but I don’t have pets at ho. Thank you.”
