At ten o'clock in the evening, Mu You and Lin Xuekankan flew back to K City at the end of the day.

After leaving the airport, the two took a taxi home and arrived at the place where Lin Xue and Xiaoya rented a house. Lin Xue got off the car and went directly back to the community, while Mu You urged the master to drive further and arrived at the pet shop.

It was already 10:30 in the evening, and Mu You thought the store should have closed long ago.

As a result, when I got closer, I discovered that the pet shop was actually still lit.

Xiaoya stood at the door, wearing an apron and holding a broom in her hand. While cleaning, she looked out from time to time.

This image made Mu You startled, almost making him think he had traveled back two years...

"Boss!"

Xiaoya immediately noticed Mu You walking out of the darkness and trotted out quickly, with anxiety and expectation on her face: "How is the approval going?"

"Needless to say? Of course it was successfully completed."

Mu You smiled and took out two documents from his bag.

"Is it really done?" Xiaoya hurriedly took the document and looked at it.

The certificate for raising and selling magical creatures that she obtained previously had several additional official seals, as well as a list of creatures that could be sold, as well as various other documents that she couldn't quite understand.

"Yes, the animals and the venue have been approved and can be opened at any time." Mu said.

"Great!"

Xiaoya also showed a relieved smile after reading it: "Boss, when will we open the store?"

When will the store open...

Mu You pondered for a moment. He had actually considered this issue on the plane when he arrived.

"Saturday."

Mu Youyou said: "It will officially open this Saturday."

"Saturday...so fast..."

Xiaoya murmured. She had been looking forward to the opening before, but now that she heard that it was really going to open, she suddenly felt a little nervous again.

The pet store has been deteriorating in the past two years. Recently, it was even on the verge of bankruptcy and had to be forced to transform.

After the transformation, it prospered for a while, but soon it sank again due to the impact of the launch of The Fool Game, and this time it sank even more completely.

The store had no business for a whole month. In the four years since she joined the pet store, she had never experienced such a long period of closure.

When there was no customer for a week, Xiaoya felt inexplicably flustered. She was very afraid that one day Mu You would suddenly tell her: The world was changing too fast and the store would no longer be open, and then he would give her a severance package.

Go home...

If this scene really happens, Xiaoya really doesn't know what to do.

She has been in this store for four years and has become accustomed to everything here. She is used to taking care of the animals every day and delivering them to the right owners one by one.

She has no other skills. She has never graduated from high school and only knows how to deal with animals. To end it all suddenly will definitely make her extremely confused.

Fortunately, Mu You has never shown any intention of giving up, and has been quietly collecting magical animals in preparation for another transformation.

And this time, Xiaoya Xiaoya also saw the effect. The video posted a few days ago, the terrifying number of views and popularity, as well as the comments from countless people urging the opening of the business, did not look like an illusion.

In the future, pet shops will probably flourish again, right?

"It would be great if uncle and aunt were still here..."

Xiaoya couldn't help but sigh in a low voice. However, she regretted it as soon as she said it. She quickly raised her head and looked at Mu You carefully, only to find that Mu You was playing with her mobile phone and didn't seem to hear her words.

I was relieved.

"It's getting late. Let's go to bed early today. We'll start tomorrow, but we have a lot of things to do." Mu You patted her shoulder and walked into the pet shop.

"Hmm."

Xiaoya also went back to the store to put down her things, and after saying hello to Muyou, she picked up her bag and went home.

Lying in bed at night, Xiaoya kept imagining what the new store would look like in the future, and watched the Chocobo Race video many times while suffering from insomnia.

Looking at the messages expressing support and expectations in the video, I gradually gained confidence.

Early the next morning, Xiaoya got up early with dark circles under her eyes. After tidying up, she left the house before six o'clock and rode to the cemetery in the northern suburbs.

That's where Muyou's parents are buried.

Four years ago, Xiaoya, as a girl who dropped out of school at the age of 17 and came to work in the city, knew nothing and ran into obstacles everywhere. Fortunately, she met Muyou's parents when she was about to have no other choice.

Her uncle and aunt took her in, gave her a job, and allowed her to stay in the store temporarily. Only then did she get through the most difficult time. And she has stayed in the pet store ever since.
p>

For her, the pet store was not only a place of work, but also a place like home, and her uncle and aunt were the only people in the city who were kind to her at that time.

After the two elders passed away, she and Mu Youhui often took turns visiting the cemetery to sweep their graves, so their tombs were always cleaner than those around them.

Before arriving at the cemetery, Xiaoya went to the nearby flower shop to buy a bouquet of flowers, the most common yellow and white chrysanthemums, and took the flowers into the cemetery.

But what she didn't expect was that after walking along the stone road to her destination, she discovered that someone was already in front of the cemetery.

"Boss?" Xiaoya called out in surprise.

The person sitting in front of the cemetery over there is Mu You.

Today is not Qingming Festival, nor is it the death anniversary of Mu You’s parents. It is just an ordinary day. Unexpectedly, the two of them came to visit the graves at the same time.

"Coming."

Mu You was not surprised by Xiaoya's arrival. He waved hello and motioned for her to come over.

"Boss, you too..."

Xiaoya walked closer and found that the area around the cemetery had been cleaned up, except for an almost empty bottle of white wine at Muyou's feet.

But she knew that Mu You didn't drink, so this wine must have been prepared for her uncle who loved to drink white wine during his lifetime.

Obviously Mu You has been here for a long time and has said everything she needs to do and say.

"Yes, you have to tell them about such a big thing." Mu You picked up the wine bottle and poured the remaining wine in front of the tombstone.

Xiaoya also walked over and placed the bouquet in front of the tombstone.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

After staring at the words on the tombstone for a while, she suddenly looked at Mu You and said with a smile: "Boss, at that time, fortunately you didn't give up."

Mu You naturally knew what Xiaoya meant by 'that time'.

Two years ago, when he learned of the death of his parents, Mu You was still in another province and had a decent job.

Of course it was a huge blow to him to suddenly learn the bad news.

In a daze, he rushed home all the way to attend the funeral, handle the handover of various affairs and personnel arrangements after the death of his parents...

At that time, he had two choices before him: inherit the pet shop left by his parents; or give up the pet shop, rent out the shop, and continue his work and life as usual.

Rationally speaking, of course he should give up the pet shop. This way, while continuing his high-paying job, he can also regularly receive a good rent as a backup, which will allow him to live a very nurturing life in a first-tier city.

But emotionally, he doesn't want the pet shop to close, because this is a shop that his parents have devoted many years of hard work to running. It is the most important thing to his parents after him, and it is also the only thing that his parents left to him.

If you abandon the pet store, you will lose not only an industry, but also a sustenance.

It was impossible to take care of both ends. If he wanted to inherit the pet store, it meant that he had to give up his job and everything he had worked hard for in another city. From then on, he had no financial security.

Besides, by the time he finished everything and returned to the pet store, it was already three days later.

Including the time when the store was closed after my parents' accident, it has been a full week without anyone taking care of the store.

In a week, most of the animals will be dead, right? Even if you want to continue operating, it is basically impossible...

However, when Mu You dragged his exhausted body back to the pet shop that night, what he saw was not the deserted scene he had imagined.

The lights are on in the pet shop, and there is a person in the shop.

All the animals are well taken care of and the shop is cleaned cleanly.

At that time, Xiaoya, who was still childish, stood at the door wearing an apron and holding a broom in her hand just like last night. She gave him a forced smile and called Brother Mu to welcome him home.

.

Mu You noticed that the girl was just strong and calm. Her hand holding the broom was even trembling slightly because of fear.

Xiaoya looked at him with such an expectant but extremely uneasy expression, as if she was waiting for a verdict, waiting for his verdict on the pet shop.

It was at that time that Mu You suddenly lost his confusion.

It turns out that the store left by his parents is not only his own sustenance, but also the sustenance of others.

So his first words after entering the store were: "Don't worry, I won't let the pet store close."

Mu You has forgotten the expression on Xiaoya's face at that time, but in short, after that, it was the two of them, with two hands, supporting the shop laboriously and clumsily.

Although with the development of the epidemic, the situation of the store took a turn for the worse, they suffered from financial pressure, and others looked down upon them, and they gradually gave up on some things, but the two never gave up and persisted until recently, and finally saw a turn for the better...<

/p>

"If I gave up at that time, I would probably lose a lot of things." Mu You sighed secretly.
