Lending Umbrella

The nice, sunny weather that had been there since the spring had started finally ended.

It had been cloudy since the day had started. The temperature dropped again. It seemed that the first spring shower would be arriving soon. 　　

Zhang Zian and the elfins got up at their usual time, then headed downstairs after washing up. Like all of the same old mornings, the shop was buzzing with noise after a long night's silence. 　　

He pulled open the shutter door to start the new day's business.　　

Old Time Tea turned on the television. The same old morning news started at the same old time.　　

Zhang Zian took the vacuum to clean up the pet hair in the shop. He could vacuum enough hair to knit a pair of gloves a day.　　

Fina stared at him. Normally, he would use the vacuum right before the store closed at night. Vacuuming in the early morning was too noisy, which made Fina unable to go back to sleep.
