Hearing the female voice from the courtyard, Zhang Zian almost thought that he had heard it wrong, or that he had come to the wrong place. Last time when he came here, Fu Tao was alone. How could there be a young woman this time? Could it be that his daughter came to visit him
"Cough! I'm looking for someone, is Fu Tao there?"
He raised his voice and said to the courtyard, but felt that the woman's voice was a little familiar...
With a bang, the iron door was pulled open a narrow gap, a young girl poked her face out and saw Zhang Zian standing at the door.
"Yeah, it's Store Manager Zhang!"
"Hey? Why are you?"
They said in unison, wondering in their hearts.
Zhang Zian knew that the girl who came to open the door was Ning Lan who had met several times during New Year's Day.
Before New Year's Day, Ning Lan's dog was kidnapped by a gang of dogs, and she offered a reward for this. If anyone can provide clues about the dog, she is willing to give a reward of 10,000 yuan. Later, Zhang Zian and Zhan Tian uncovered the dog gang, but he confiscated her money, and suggested that if she had time, it would be best if she could come to the police dog nursing home with her classmates to help out and do volunteer work, and the 10,000 yuan would be considered It is his subsidy.
Ning Lan agreed at the time, but Zhang Zian was busy with things, so he forgot about it later.
It was only when he met here today that he remembered it.
Seeing that Zhang Zian was coming by car, Ning Lan enthusiastically pushed the iron door open completely, and turned aside, "I'm here to help with my classmates... I'll talk about this later, Manager Zhang, please drive the car into the yard first Well, it might be lost if parked outside."
Zhang Zian didn't expect that Ning Lan and the others would come to the police dog nursing home to help on New Year's Eve, and said with a smile, "Okay, I've really worked hard for you."
"It's not hard, there are many people and strength." Ning Lan smiled and waved her hands.
Zhang Zian returned to the car, drove the car into the yard, and turned off the engine.
Hearing the sound of the iron door, Fu Tao also lifted the cotton curtain and walked out of the room to check the situation. The moment he lifted the cotton curtain, Zhang Zian saw several young people in the room, both men and women, making dumplings together around the table, joking and fighting from time to time, probably all of Ning Lan's classmates.
"It's you." Fu Tao was also taken aback when he saw Zhang Zian.
He may have drank two cups of wine, his face was flushed, he looked good, and he even felt younger than when we met last time.
Zhang Zian took out fruit snacks from the car, "Master Fu, Happy New Year, I'm here to wish you a New Year."
He couldn't just say that he came to check on the conditions of the crew's police dogs, so he came in the name of New Year's greetings, which is why he chose to come to the door today.
The fruit snacks were given to him by Wang Qian and Li Kun. He was embarrassed to come to the door empty-handed to pay New Year's greetings, so he borrowed flowers and presented Buddha to Fu Tao to save money on gifts.
"Come on, come on, why do you need to buy something..." Fu Tao said politely, but still accepted the gift, "Come in and sit down, those young people are also here."
While they were talking, Ning Lan had already run into the room and excitedly called her classmates to come out.
"I told you, this is the person who helped me find my family back last time, and also uncovered a gang of dogs! Today, our travel expenses and dumpling money are actually paid by him!" Ning Lan asked They introduced, "By the way, he runs a very famous pet shop, which is on Zhonghua Road, not far from our school."
Several people had flour on their faces, as if they were singing Peking Opera, obviously playing around with flour while making dumplings.
Zhang Zian waved to them, then opened the door and the trunk to let the elves get out of the car.
"Meow meow!"
"Squeak!"
"Wow!"
"quack!
Seeing cats, dogs, monkeys and parrots jumping out of the car one after another, Ning Lan and her classmates froze in place.
"Wow! What a cute cat!"
"Why are there monkeys? Does this pet store manager still play monkeys?"
"The parrot's eyes...why does it feel like it's taunting me?"
Lao Cha didn't get out of the car, firstly because he didn't want to attract attention, secondly because it was warm in the car, and thirdly because they couldn't stay here for long, so they decided not to get out of the car.
Regardless of the flour on their hands, the girls gathered around Fina, Snow Lion and Xinghai, wanting to play cats for free, but Xinghai immediately ran away, and Fina widened her eyes, stretched out her paws like a threat, and stopped They approach. The snow lion never refused to come, and they let them hold it in their arms.
Zhang Zian stared at it jealously, especially its restless claws, groping all over their bodies and chests, and instead of feeling that they were being eaten tofu, they seemed to be enjoying it, which made him want to be proud Shouted "Let go of that perverted cat, come to me!"
Snow Lion squinted his eyes, and spat at him, "I'm just hugging left and right, aren't you jealous?"
Ning Lan squatted next to Femas, looked him up and down, and asked, "Is this dog... the police dog from last time?"
The German shepherds are all similar in appearance, and it is difficult to distinguish if it is not her own dog. She mistook Femas for Zhantian.
"No, I didn't bring that police dog here, and there's not enough space in the car." Zhang Zian replied, and changed the subject by the way, "When did you come here? Don't you need to accompany your family on New Year's Eve?"
Ning Lan smiled and said: "I came here in the morning, and I will leave after eating the dumplings. My family is from Binhai, some of them are also from Binhai, and some of them don't come back from other places. Manager Zhang, you came just in time, let's eat dumplings together, It's already wrapped, and it will be cooked in the pot immediately."
Zhang Zian could already smell the smell of boiled dumplings wafting from the room, it seemed to be stuffed with beef and scallions. He had eaten at noon, and he was still not hungry, so he waved his hand and said: "No, I have eaten lunch."
"It's okay, let's eat some more. We made so many dumplings that we can't finish them all. The stuffed beef is delicious." Ning Lan thought he was being polite, "Even with you, the leftover dumplings are enough to pay the master. I will eat it tonight and tomorrow. Besides, these flour and minced meat are all bought with your 10,000 yuan!"
"Meow meow! That stinky man over there, ask my mother if there is any beef left? Raw meat is best!" Snow Lion asked in spite of his busy schedule.
Zhang Zian ignored it, thought for a while and asked, "Are you here today to make dumplings for Master Fu?"
Ning Lan nodded, "Master Fu lives here by himself, it's so lonely, so after we discussed it, we decided to accompany him today until evening."
Zhang Zian knew about Fu Tao's situation. It was really lonely for him to take care of the retired police dogs here all these years. During the festive seasons, they miss their relatives a lot, and the usual loneliness will be doubled during the festive seasons, thanks to Ning Lan and the others.
There are already a lot of police dogs here, and with the addition of a few dogs sent by the crew, the burden is even heavier. That's why Ning Lan and the others were asked to come and help when they had time last time.
The kindness is hard to refuse, he decided to eat a few dumplings before leaving, but he had to finish the business first—
