The pet I raised comes from the second dimension.

Chapter 186 is about the fruit shop in "Us".

Customers inside the store are selecting their preferred fruits. Because it's the grand opening celebration, the promotional offers are extremely generous, with all fruits except for the popular "Orunji" fruit being very inexpensive.

Cheap, high quality, and excellent value for money!
To rush to buy fruit,
It seems that not many customers are particularly curious about Doraemon, the pink-haired, white-furred chibi-style beast.
Everyone quickly looked away from it.

When he realized that the customers' enthusiasm for him was far less than the care that people (Huang Musong) showed him, Doro felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head awkwardly.

but,
It's okay~
I just want people to always love and care for me! And I will love and care for people forever!
As for the customers inside the store...

Let me, the store manager of Doro, take the initiative to care for them~
Thinking to himself, Doro continued to put on a bright smile and trotted over to the middle-aged customer who was closest to him.

The other party was a man over forty years old, with a weathered face like a middle-aged man.

The pressures of life, starting from age thirty, have taken their toll, leaving her mentally exhausted.
She looked extremely haggard and much older than her age.

At this moment, facing the mountain of fresh oranges piled up in front of him, the middle-aged man sighed with melancholy, exuding a very negative emotion.

"Ugh!"

A sigh escaped his lips, drowned out by the laughter and chatter of the other customers, but only Doraemon heard it.

Doro casually brought over a step stool.

Then climb step by step to the top floor,

It picked up a fresh orange from the shelf and peeled it.

His expression was serious, his movements were delicate, and his eyes were focused.

Doro handed the large, plump, round oranges, peeled and ready, to the middle-aged man.

"Uncle, come and eat! Our store's O-Runji is super sweet~".

As he spoke, Doro exerted a slight force with his claws and forcibly stuffed the orange into the other's palm.

Since they lingered in front of the Orunji container for so long...
You definitely want to buy Runji, that's for sure!
The sighing and groaning probably means they're short of money!
Having experienced the hardships of collecting garbage to sell for food, Doro can immediately recognize similar "poverty" situations. It also understands the frustration of longing for something you want but can't afford it.

As a doro, I've experienced disappointment, and that's enough.

We can't let more people be saddened by disappointment.
Doro thought to himself, his hands behind his back, and just grinned foolishly at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's dejected mood was instantly cured by 60% by the cute little guy in front of him!

The remaining 40% represents real pressure.

That feeling of discouragement has nothing to do with mood.

The problem will persist for a long time if it remains unresolved.

Doro helped the other person eliminate 60% of their despondency through practical actions, which was a psychological relief, bringing the other person's mindset away from the threshold of depression.

"Thank you!"

The middle-aged man didn't say much.
He simply said thank you.
Then he swung his arms and walked out of the store.

A fresh orange is so sweet that it leaves a lingering fragrance on your lips and teeth, as refreshing as a few cool breezes blowing in the sweltering heat of summer.

The adulthood of an average person is uneventful, nothing more than burdened with various car loan and mortgage payments, daily food expenses, and children's education costs...

Heavy burdens weigh on my shoulders and even more on my heart.

It's hard not to feel discouraged.

I had heard that the newly opened fruit store was offering free fresh oranges to the first 100 customers who entered the store.

As a result, they arrived too late and missed the benefits.

Not being able to receive any oranges means that living expenses will increase by more than ten yuan, which is equivalent to earning less wages.

A few dollars may seem insignificant, but it's another straw that breaks the camel's back.

Thankfully, I received comfort from the pink-haired little beast!

"call".
"I feel much better now."

Stepping out of the fruit shop, the middle-aged man took a deep breath and exhaled, preparing to go to the bus stop to wait for the bus to go to work.

But before he could get far from the fruit shop,

"Heave-ho! Heave-ho..."

A series of panting sounds, sounding quite disheveled, entered his ears from behind.

The middle-aged man was curious and kept looking back as he walked, glancing at the scene unconsciously.

Only saw:

Doraemon was carrying two large, heavy bags of oranges in each hand.

It ran as fast as it could towards the middle-aged man who had just left the fruit shop.

"I'm giving this to you."

"These were planted by me, my dear...my own hands, oh Runji!"

"There are others...together, together with me, planting."

"Doro explained, panting heavily."

It only returned from another world when the grand opening promotion was almost over.

In fact, Doraemon was unaware of the promotional event; it simply thought it should give a gift to the middle-aged man.

Regardless of whether the other party made a purchase at the fruit store!

Enter the store and you're a customer!

There's no reason to let guests leave disappointed.
Doro was tongue-tied and unable to express its true thoughts; it only showed friendliness with a simple, clear smile. After listening to the little beast's words...
The middle-aged man was stunned.
He was stunned for a full half minute.

Is it free for Runji?

Ah, Runji is the English word for orange, the little guy wants to give me oranges!

Two large bags, perhaps weighing more than three pounds, costing nearly 20 yuan.

Given the quality of their oranges, selling three pounds for 30 yuan isn't expensive at all.

How could a small pet owned by the store manager be given away so easily?
The middle-aged man couldn't believe that Doraemon was serious...

When it realized that the other party was just standing there staring at it blankly without saying a word or taking the plastic bag, Doro's arms, which were holding two bags of oranges, were so tired that they went weak. It showed a helpless yet particularly cute troubled look.

"what!"

"Don't you want it? I'll put it on the ground first~"

Unable to carry the bag any longer, Doro sighed, put it on the ground, and turned back to the fruit shop without hesitation.

Giving oranges as a gift is a way of showing consideration to customers.

Go back and continue to fulfill your role as the acting store manager, which also shows your care for other customers.

Doraemon can comfort middle-aged men.
But time and status don't allow it to keep comforting the other person.

As someone (Huang Musong) once said: most of the difficulties in life need to be solved by oneself!
"Uncle, my people used to be just like you, and their lives were even worse than yours."

"I'm just a doro, I don't understand why you're sad, I can only confirm that you're feeling really bad right now."

"Uncle, people who are always struggling with themselves will have a bad memory~"

"If something's wrong, you can go home and talk to your family. It will make you feel much better to talk it out. Don't keep it bottled up inside; it's bad for your health."

"If you really can't find anyone to talk to, eat more Oorunji to boost your memory..."

After offering its final words of comfort, Doro turned and headed back to the fruit shop without looking back. Just before entering, it glanced back to see if the middle-aged man had taken the gift. Confirming that the man had picked up the bag, signifying his acceptance of the gift, Doro happily gave the man a peace sign.

(＾v＾)V
The middle-aged man suddenly felt his mind and spirit in turmoil.

It was a wonderful and indescribable feeling.

The most noticeable sensation is a soreness in the chest area.

Yet it's even more intense than sour!
Male, in his forties, head of the household, pillar of the family, a dignified and upright man...

The middle-aged man never imagined that one day he would be crying in the street, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

"Ah!"

"Sand got into my eyes."

Wiping away his tears quickly, the middle-aged man raised his head, straightened his back, and walked back to the station.

His back view still showed extreme fatigue.

However, upon closer inspection of the pupils, a light gradually appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes.

After being comforted by Doraemon, the middle-aged man realized that he wasn't so bad after all.

Mortgage and car loan payments are part of asset accumulation!
So what if the cost of living is high?

The eldest daughter was admitted to a 211 university, and the son was also admitted to a key high school.

My parents are both alive and well, and my wife is also healthy.

"What more could you want...?"

"Everything is fleeting!"

With his mood brightening and his mindset becoming much younger, the middle-aged man muttered a somewhat old internet meme to himself.

at the same time
Sitting in the break room of the fruit shop watching the live monitor, Huang Musong witnessed all of Duoluo's actions and tacitly allowed it to give fruit to customers as gifts at will.

Huang Musong knew better than anyone else:

To outsiders, I believe I achieved this remarkable transformation through relentless hard work and making the right choices.
But in reality, it was simply because he had Doraemon.

From the moment he adopted Doraemon, Huang Musong could clearly sense that his life was undergoing a dramatic transformation!
From daily life to work, and from work to relationship status, which of these changes wasn't due to the three Doro, especially the Doro they first met?

Therefore,
Huang Musong is neither greedy for credit nor arrogant.

It only wants to be better and better to Doraemon, Dorothy, and Donas.

As the monitoring feed on the computer screen changed, Huang Musong switched the screen before Doro returned to the rest room to avoid the little guy noticing that he had just been spying on it.

Doro didn't mind being spied on.

It didn't even classify people watching themselves with cameras as sneaky.

Looking up.
Doraemon grinned foolishly.

It flashed its classic "showing off big white teeth" expression:

"Congratulations! Your fruit shop has opened successfully and business is booming!"

After Duo Luo finished speaking, Huang Musong shook his head and affectionately stroked Duo Luo's head, "It's 'Our' Fruit Shop!"

"Mmm~, it's 'Our Day'!"

Smooth out the wrinkles in the work apron.
Doro turned around, jumped out of the break room, and once again devoted her energy to her favorite job.
