Chapter 1679: Chapter 1679-storm
Translator: 549690339
It was a very normal day. When it was almost noon, Zhang Zian was dealing with the customers in the store and also taking care of the aquarium. Even Lu Yiyun, who was usually only responsible for collecting money, had no time to draw today. Wang Qian, Li Kun, and Jiang Feifei were busy today and couldn’t come. The school had a welcoming task for them, so the store was very tight on manpower.
The reason why the fourth-year students who were about to graduate were asked to welcome the new students instead of the second and third-year students was probably because the fourth-year students were more free. They had nothing else to do other than graduation designs and internships.
Speaking of which, it was the start of the new year again.
No wonder there seemed to be a little more people with strange accents in the past two days. They should be parents from other places who sent their children to Binhai University.
These parents usually stayed in Binhai for a few days before going back. They had to see their children settle down with their own eyes before they could feel at ease. Then they would walk around Binhai city with their children, which always brought a lot of business to the shops and hotels near Binhai University. Unfortunately, such a good thing had never been related to Zhang Zian. He had never heard of any parents buying pets for their children because they were afraid that their children would be lonely in college.
The customers of the Pet Shop were mainly young girls, and the parents who were afraid of puppy love in high school had a 180-degree change in attitude when they were in college. If their daughter said that college was lonely and boring, the parents ‘reaction would most likely be to urge her to find a boyfriend instead of buying a pet, especially when the daughter of an aunt had a pet and was too lazy to find a boyfriend or something ...
In a few days, these college freshmen who had been raised in their third year of high school would be so tanned that their mothers wouldn’t be able to recognize them ... Generally speaking, this was the case. Occasionally, when the weather was good, those children would be very happy after a few days of rain.
This year’s children might also be secretly praying for God’s blessing.
In terms of solar terms, it was already summer, but these two days were particularly hot and humid, and the humidity was high.
Pet shops had always had more customers than customers. In this aspect, aquariums had to add the word “more”. Retired people who had nothing to do often stayed in the aquarium for half a day to enjoy the air conditioning and also feast their eyes. Business owners couldn’t drive them away. It was finally noon, and the old people went home for lunch. The aquarium had zero business in the morning, so Zhang Zian simply closed the aquarium early, and then ordered a takeaway each for Lu Yiyun.
After the take-out was delivered, Lu Yiyun ate slowly while watching the drama. Zhang Zian ate quickly. If he watched the drama, he might have finished it before the opening song was finished. So, he held the lunch box and stood outside the door to eat the steamed buns. Didn’t they say that eating while standing was good for digestion? At the same time ... He could also see the long-legged beauties passing by, which would make his meal better.
As he was eating, he suddenly heard the sound of running approaching.
“Brother store manager, good afternoon! Are you eating?”
Little celery trotted over from the direction of Zhonghua Road primary school.
She was wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts, carrying a school bag, and her face was covered in sweat from running.
“Hey, little celery, good afternoon. What brings you here at this time?” Zhang Zian was puzzled.
Little celery stopped and took a few breaths.”The school has suspended classes at the last minute ... The teacher left us homework and asked us to go home to do it.”
“What? Classes were suspended? Why?”
Zhang Zian wondered if there was an accident at school. For example, bad people breaking in, or a fire.
He looked around and didn’t see any smoke coming from the school, so it shouldn’t be a fire.
“Phew ...” Little celery wiped her sweat.”The teacher said that a Typhoon is coming. She told us to go home immediately after leaving school and not to run around. She also told us to wait until the evening to inform our parents in the WeChat group whether we will arrive at school tomorrow.”
“Ah? A Typhoon?”
Zhang Zian’s heart sank.”That’s not right. I saw the weather forecast this morning. The typhoon didn’t come this way.”
In fact, since a few days ago, a tropical cyclone had been formed in the South China Sea and was moving northeast. This was the seventh strong Typhoon in the Western Pacific and the South China Sea this year.
The trajectory of the typhoon was erratic and difficult to predict. Most of them had changed their course to the East and headed for Japan before they reached Binhai city. However, it was inevitable that there were typhoons that took unusual routes.
Just like the first six typhoons this year, Zhang Zian had been paying close attention to this strong Typhoon No. 7. Every morning and night, when old time tea was watching the news, he would also watch the weather forecast.
Last night, the weather forecast didn’t look too good. It said that the possibility of a Typhoon landing in Binhai city couldn’t be ruled out. However, this morning, the host gave the good news that the typhoon had changed direction, which made him and the other people in Binhai city who were paying attention to the direction of the typhoon feel relieved.
After that, he was so busy the entire morning that he didn’t pay attention to the weather forecast.
Little celery was confused.”I don’t know. Anyway, the teacher said that the whole school is on holiday. Look at ran ran.”
She pointed behind her.
Sure enough, the large group of primary school students was flooding out of the school in all directions. She had arrived first because she had run.
Zhang Zian felt the seriousness of the matter.
Little celery and the others were still in class in the morning, which meant that the school also thought that the typhoon had changed direction this morning and wouldn’t threaten Binhai city, so they let the students go to school as usual. But now, the whole school had suspended classes at the last minute. The typhoon must have made a new move.
“Little celery, you should go home now.” He urged,”the typhoon is very dangerous. Listen to the teacher and don’t stay outside.”
“En!” Little celery nodded and waved.”Then I’m leaving. Bye, brother store manager!”
Zhang Zian had lost all his appetite. Just as he was about to turn around and go into the house, he thought of something and called out to her.
“Wait a minute, little celery. Are your parents home?”
Little celery’s expression seemed a little strange.”My mom is working.”
“Then, you ...”
Zhang Zian wanted to ask her if her father was also working, but he suddenly remembered that she had never mentioned her father. That’s right, he had known her for almost a year, but she always talked about her mother and never about her father.
In fact, Zhang Zian had his suspicions before. Other children were like babies, and their parents often picked them up, but little celery went to and from school alone most of the time. Occasionally, she would go with Wang Yaning and other classmates. He had never seen her parents pick her up.
There could be many reasons for this. For example, double-working families were very busy, and the couple worked 996 days. In addition, her grandparents did not live in the city. This situation was not unheard of, but even so, she should not have never mentioned her father.
The divorce rate in modern society was too high, especially for young couples. They were not as tolerant as the older generation, who often divorced because of a disagreement.
It would make sense if she came from a single-parent family.
