Chapter 32: Friends
Chen Alu said directly, "My mother has always said that good people have good rewards, and if my sister is a good person, there will be good rewards." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Chen Dabao also complained to Chen Afu, "Why don't you keep the bird for a while, Dabao didn't see it, it's a pity." ”
The golden swallow came back before dark on the third day, and it also brought back two birds. Both birds are large and have hooked beaks. The brightly colored one is about a dozen centimeters long, and the gray one is about thirty centimeters long.
Chen Afu's family was sitting on the kang to eat, when they suddenly saw three birds swooping down on the open window lattice of his house, and one of the small birds was the golden swallow. However, at this time, the golden color of its mouth, chest, and belly is much lighter than in the space, and it is pale yellow.
Chen Afu smiled and stretched out his hand, and the golden swallow jumped into her hand and said, "Mommy, they are the smartest birds in the big forest, and they are my new good friends." ”
Of course, only Chen Afu could understand this, and what those people heard was the chirping of the little swallow.
Chen Afu smiled and said to them, "This is the bird that pecked at the leper that day, and it came back to see me." ”
The family was first attracted by the two big birds, and after listening to Chen Afu's words, they all looked at the golden swallow in surprise and welcomed. Ah Lu and Da Bao sat over excitedly and said words of gratitude to Jin Yanzi.
Dabao also said, "The swallows that are so handsome are more handsome than those swallows." Don't go, can you stay in my house? There is a nest of swallows under the eaves of my house, and they come back every night to live. You make a nest like that, and then you can stay and don't leave. ”
Xiao Zhengtai thought that this was hospitality, but he was disgusted by the golden swallow. It chirped, "I live in beautiful little gold houses, who lives in that mud house." ”
Dabao couldn't understand what it said, and smiled happily, "Little Swallow barked at me, it must have accepted my invitation and will live in our house in the future." ”
Jin Yanzi rolled her eyes at the little brat, ignored him, and said to Chen Afu, "Mommy, these two friends of mine are very good, so they can stay here and be my company." In spring and summer, I spend most of my time outside playing with them, and Mommy prepares a few beautiful nests for them and me. Note that we are not allowed to live in such mud houses. ”
Chen Afu listened, put the golden swallow on the kang, and spread his hands at the two birds, and they jumped on her hand smartly, and "quacked" at her a few times. The sound is ugly, but it's smart. Brightly colored birds weigh more than half a catty, and gray birds weigh about a catty.
Chen Afu likes animals, and he is happy to see them without seeing his teeth. He also counted the colors of the big flower and bird, and said with a smile, "This bird has seven colors on it, and it will be called Qiqi in the future." This bird is gray except for the tail, so let's call it gray gray. ”
The two birds expressed their ignorance, and the golden swallow barked at them a few times. They seemed to understand, and quacked twice.
Dabao said again, "Mother, these two birds have names, but the little swallow has no name." ”
Chen Afu smiled, "Call it Jinbao, as soon as you hear it, you will be a brother to Dabao." ”
Dabao was even happier when he heard it, and he grabbed the "little brother" and didn't let go. The little hands were neither light nor heavy, and the ravages made the golden swallow roll her eyes.
The whole family had no intention of eating, and Ah Lu and Dabao teased the three birds, and very generously grabbed a small handful of brown rice to feed them. Qiqi and Ash ate it, and even the golden swallow ate it. Wang's exclaimed incredible, the swallow only eats insects and moths or something, and only eats live, but this swallow actually eats grain.
Chen Ming smiled, "This swallow is definitely different from ordinary swallows, otherwise how can you peck a hole in a person's face." ”
Chen Afu was thinking about what kind of nest to get for them, it was too simple to do it, but the luxurious home did not have that condition.
She saw the half-made sewing basket on the side of the kang and had an idea. So he got up and went to the east house to get three finished sewing baskets, and asked the three birds, "How is this nest beautiful?"
Qiqi and Gray saw it, and they both liked it very much, which was much better than the nest they used to live in. Jin Yanzi also reluctantly accepted it, and said, "Although it's a little rougher, it's still fancy, so make do with it." ”
Chen Afu was afraid that they would make the inside dirty and difficult to clean if they defecate, so he put some broken wheat straw at the bottom of the basket, and spread a layer of coarse cloth on the wheat straw.
Before going to bed at night, Qiqi and Ash not only learned to say their names, but also learned to call them "Jinbao, Dabao, Uncle, Mother, Grandma, Grandpa".
Everyone was very happy, and they all said that these two were indeed rare and intelligent birds, and they learned so many words in one night.
Chen Ming also figured out what these two birds were, "They must be parrots, but I don't know what kind of parrot they are." ”
Chen Afu had long seen that they were parrots, Ash seemed to be the gray parrot he said in his previous life, and Qiqi looked like a macaw, but not completely. The macaw is much larger, I don't know if it's because the parrot hasn't grown yet, or if it's some other unknown species.
Chen Ming was afraid of noise, and when he was sleeping, the three bird baskets were taken to the East House.
Except for the golden swallow, Qiqi and Ash quarreled late before going to bed. They have a loud voice, their voices are like broken gongs, they have strong penetrating power, and the sound of "quack" makes people panic. Chen Afu was so annoyed, this made Da Baole bad, and he didn't want to sleep in the middle of the night, looking at the bird basket and enjoying it. was slapped on the buttocks by Chen Afu, and then lay down and fell asleep with his mouth crossed.
As soon as the sky was bright, Chen Afu's family was woken up by Qiqi and Ash again.
In the morning, Chen Ming didn't get up, and he heard Wang say that he hadn't slept well all night, and his body was a little bad.
Chen Afu asked Dabao to bring Qiqi and Ash to the backyard to play, don't make noise with grandpa.
She secretly discussed with Jin Yanzi, "My father was just sick by your friend's quarrel." The doctor said that it is best for people with lung disease to eat bird's nest, can you take some bird's nest out for him? Otherwise, my family will not dare to keep your friends, they are too noisy, my father's body and bones can't stand it. ”
Jin Yanzi said glutinously, "Mommy, even if you don't say it, I will also take the bird's nest out for my grandfather to eat." Then he said proudly, "The bird's nest I built is very different from the bird's nest built by those swallows, it is called fragrant bird's nest." It can not only strengthen the body and prolong life, but also cure many incurable diseases, including tuberculosis. ”
When Chen Afu heard this, his heart was about to jump out with excitement, that bird's nest was really a treasure.
Jin Yanzi saw Chen Afu's appearance of being a fan of wealth, and reminded, "The things on that tree are all mine, only I have the right to dominate, and Mommy is not allowed to move." ”
Chen Afu nodded again and again, put it in his hand, and said along the feather on its back, "Jin Bao'er, I am your mother, and I still have the virtue of not messing with my son's things." Hurry up and get some bird's nest out, I'll cook it for my father. ”
