A Heavy Mental Burden

After boiling a pot of hot water to brew tea for Old Time Tea, Zhang Zian put his coat back on. He carried a big broom and a shovel and headed over to the clinic of Sun Xiaomeng, intending to fetch the pets’ breakfast from Uncle Li's shop on his way back.

At this time, most of the shops on the street had not opened their doors yet, so few people were sweeping the snow in front of their shops. He struggled to move forward in the deep snow, breathing in the bitter cold air, and watched the commuters rush to work with pity.

When he arrived at the pet clinic, he looked inside, and did not see Sun Xiaomeng. She was probably in the treatment room. Long Xian behind the duty counter saw him, poured a cup of hot cocoa, and came over to him.

"Manager Zhang." Long Xian gave him the cocoa, "I heard Sister Xiaomeng say that you were going to help us remove the snow! Please drink this cup of cocoa to warm up first."
