Wintering

No matter how late you went to bed the night before, there is no reason for social animals to wake up late.

As soon as the alarm clock rang the next day, Chen Shehu jumped out of bed reflexively, washed and dressed quickly.

I looked at my watch again, it was seven forty.

The working time stipulated by the hospital is eight o'clock sharp.

He secretly prayed that the traffic would be smoother today.

When passing the living room, he scanned the entrance, Mo Dong's shoes were still there, and Mo Dong hadn't gone out yet, so he hurriedly walked lightly.

With a guilty conscience, he subconsciously wanted to avoid that person.

As a result, as soon as he walked out of the living room, a few steps away from the entrance, the sliding door of the kitchen was pushed open.

Mo Dong came out of the kitchen in his pajamas and handed him a transparent grocery bag.

There are a few slices of toast inside, which are slightly steaming, and you can tell that they have just come out of the toaster.

"Skipping breakfast is bad for the stomach." He looked at Chen Yue, under the shaggy locks of hair on his forehead, his eyes were still full of sleepiness.

Chen Yue's face was a little hot, and he quickly lifted his eyelids to the coffee table in the living room, and sure enough, he saw two white medicine bottles on it.

It was the stomach medicine bottle that he took out a few days ago and forgot to put back.

He smiled uncomfortably, took the bread and thanked him, a little afraid of what Mo Dong would say to him again, he hurried out the door before saying goodbye.

The hospital is not far from his home, but there is still a long way to go.He hailed a taxi, sat in the back seat, gnawed bread, checked WeChat Moments, and skillfully swiped his thumbs to like his colleagues and bosses.

In the first month of joining the company, he added a lot of contacts on WeChat, and his circle of friends is very active every day.Dr. Lin, who he is now following, will update his news almost every day, most of which are advertising sales, such as cat food, dog food and pet health care products.

Chen Yue was surprised at the beginning that a good veterinarian looks like a salesman, but after a long time of contact, he finally understood.

Although the main business of pet hospitals is medical services, the sales of pet food and supplies as a supplement to the main business can optimize the user experience while increasing revenue.Generally, pet owners trust doctors who treat their pets, so they are happy to buy pet products recommended by doctors.Pet hospitals encourage this kind of behavior, and some hospitals even have special performance lists.

For many doctors, the profit from selling products is higher than their wages, which has caused many doctors to focus more on selling products instead of focusing on medical research.

Chen Yue is unable to comment on this phenomenon. He also knows that pet medical care is an emerging industry, and the industry is not very mature. Compared with other industries, the overall human efficiency level and average employee salary level are relatively low. It is difficult, and not many people can persevere in this industry.

When he wanted to apply for the animal medicine major, his parents didn't understand very much, and the classmates around him also persuaded him to study serious clinical medicine or something.

"How many people are willing to see a doctor for their pets? If they have the energy to spend that money, they might as well throw it away and buy another one."

"If you don't go to see a doctor for people, why should you see animals?"

……

Chen Yue has heard these voices a lot along the way.But every time I hear it, my heart still hurts like being pricked by a needle. He is not sad for himself, he is sad for those kittens and puppies.In the eyes of many people, they are just a group of living creatures that can scream and move.

He has worked in the pet hospital for more than a month. As a newcomer, he has a heavy workload every day, hanging water, treating wounds, writing hospital records, shooting videos, cleaning up excrement, etc. Sometimes there is not enough manpower. I would be dragged to wash cats and dogs. After a day, I could not stand on my feet, and my hands were shaking while holding the medical records.

But seeing those furry little guys being taken care of alive and healthy, washed clean and smelling delicious, he felt that all the hard work was worth it.

Not many pets came to see the doctor today, but there were not enough beauticians in the grooming department next door, so he went to help.

Many pet hospitals have pet grooming services, which mainly play a role in drainage and maintain customer stickiness.

Bathing a dog is a physical effort, especially for those lively little ones.

Chen Yue has just bathed a one-year-old little golden retriever. It is deeply cleansed, fragrant and soft. The small ears and pads must not be let go. The force should not be too heavy, otherwise it will hurt the puppy; It's too light, and it can't be washed clean.At the end of the day, he was so tired that he was sweating profusely. Before he could dry it off, the little golden retriever impatiently shook his body from the beginning to the end, and even bent down and barked at him angrily. looked at him.

The pet owner watched from the side, feeling very embarrassed for the impoliteness of his fur child, and reprimanded him in a low voice.

The little golden retriever was spoiled by his mother, so he didn't take her words seriously, and became more arrogant, stretched his upper body, jumped out of the bath, and ran around. Chen Yue didn't dare to directly grab it rudely, I had to coax and stop it, and finally hugged this naughty ghost, put it on the washing table and dried its wet hair with a hair dryer.

As soon as the little golden retriever was handed over to the owner, he immediately raised his ears and hid in his mother's arms, whimpering, as if he had been greatly wronged.The owner felt distressed when he saw it like this, and kept patting his head to coax him. She, a thin woman, just hugged a 33-kilogram dog all the way, and was reluctant to let the puppy go down the ground.

"Like a child, bad." After seeing off the guests, someone beside him sighed.

Chen Yue withdrew his gaze from the back of the girl holding the dog at the door, and looked at the person who spoke. It was a colleague from the beauty department, Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang handed him a can of drink: "Are you exhausted? There are so many people coming to wash the dog recently, it's terrible."

Chen Yue accepted it with a smile: "Thank you."

After taking a few sips, Chen Yue turned his gaze and landed on an iron dog cage outside the door.

"That dog came to see a doctor? Where is its owner?"

Inside the cage was a stray dog, lying listlessly on its stomach, its fur was messy and dirty, and its original color could not be seen.

Xiao Wang replied: "It was sent to foster care, and it was said that it would be fostered for a week. His master paid the money and left."

Xu Shi smelled an unpleasant smell in the air, and Xiao Wang frowned, "This dog hasn't been bathed for some time, and it will have to be sterilized before it can be sent to the foster care room."

Chen Yue walked over and knelt down beside the dog cage.

That dog was very well-behaved. When it saw a stranger, it didn't bark like other pet dogs. Instead, it cowered back timidly. Its small black eyes revealed nervousness and uneasiness.
