50. Chapter 50
On Saturday, the big baby really went to the mountains to help Feng Junhui pull weeds and catch insects, and he didn't listen to what he said, so he had to help. In the end, Feng Junhui quietly calculated half of the adult's salary to the grandfather of the eldest baby, and took the eldest child to the small lake to play around.
The parents of the eldest baby are both working outside, but the cultural level is not high. Don't look at those people who say that it is hundreds of bricks a day to move bricks on the construction site, but in fact, this is not the case at all. If you don't have a job to do or can't go to work in the rain, you won't have money for that day. If you go to work, you will have money, and if you don't work, you will have no money, and you must have at least 100 days a year without pay. The work done by women on the construction site is definitely not light, but the wages are much less than those of men.
In addition, if you have a sore back and leg pain on weekdays, there will always be something, and you have to put some money in. That's all it takes, and there's not much left. They also plan to save some tuition fees for the eldest child, and send them to the city to study in the future, preferably to buy a suite in the city. Buying real estate for their children has now become the responsibility of contemporary parents, and it is an inexplicable responsibility.
"Catch it and give it to you, and let her cook you a fish soup. Feng Junhui brought a fish caught from the lake by a hurricane to the big baby.
Now the fish in the lake are getting better and better, and even the hurricane is addicted. Now from time to time, he goes down to the lake to catch some fish, touch some shrimp and crabs, and let Feng Junhui make them for him. For this reason, Hurricane also specially asked Feng Junhui to make bird food from the fish, shrimp and crabs in the small lake, which was deeply liked by the birds at home.
Xue Jing also came over many times for the fish, shrimp and crabs in this lake. There is an aura in this lake, fish, shrimp and crabs grow fast, and they reproduce even faster, and they can't eat Feng Junhui at all. However, the meat of these fish, shrimp and crabs contains a bit of aura, more than the vegetables that Feng Junhui grows himself. So Feng Junhui didn't let him take too much, but Qingfeng booked some fish and shrimp from Feng Junhui.
"No, you can't ask for this. Feng Junhui secretly calculated half of the salary for the eldest child, and his father went back to tell him about it, and asked the eldest baby Ming'er not to go, lest others say that he deliberately mixed his salary. For this reason, the big baby felt very embarrassed, so he really didn't dare to go on the weekend.
"I'm not for you, I'm for my uncle and aunt. Feng Junhui stuffed the fish into his hand, and the grandparents of the big baby were also Feng Junhui's uncles and aunts.
"Uncle Junhui, I'll be scolded by my master if I take this back. "The big baby is going to cry, he really doesn't dare to ask for this.
"If your lord wants to scold, just say that I am filial to my uncle and aunt, and let him scold me. By the way, last time your grandfather said that he wanted to plant some fruits, I raised some purple wolfberries and ginseng fruits here, which grew fast, just so that your grandfather came over to dig some seedlings to plant. Wait for your parents to come back and give me the seedling money, or I will take it back when the wolfberry bears fruit, and I will deduct the seedling money. Feng Junhui explained when he was about to part ways with the big baby at the entrance of the village.
"Okay!" the big baby nodded in response, carrying the fish.
"Remember to bring my words and don't say anything wrong. Feng Junhui didn't forget to explain. His uncle is too sincere, and now the family can't come up with so much money, so he doesn't want to come and get the seedlings. Feng Junhui believed that the seedlings he cultivated would definitely grow well, and he couldn't lose them, so he tried to find a way to let his uncle plant them first.
"Good belt. The eldest baby knew that Feng Junhui took good care of their family, so he remembered these words carefully.
Carrying a few fish, Feng Junhui went to his uncle's house and the village chief's house to send them some fish. Hurricanes are the most inaccurate in their hands, and there are many fish caught every time. Of course, if you really want the birds at home to eat, you will definitely be able to eat it. However, Feng Junhui still thinks that it is good to eat for his relatives and have good things, so he naturally thinks of his own family.
Originally, he was still being dragged by the village chief to chat, but Feng Junhui received a call from Huang Shengwei, saying that the birds at home were making trouble, and asked Feng Junhui to go back quickly. The birds in the house are safe and secure on weekdays, and if they really want to eat and make trouble, they will definitely pester Feng Junhui, and they will not look for anyone else. Immediately, Feng Junhui hurried home with the hurricane.
Before he arrived at the door, Feng Junhui heard the birds chirping in the yard. He walked back two quick steps, and saw the birds of the family standing together on the yard dam. When they passed, the birds gave way to him. Only then did he see that it was Hachi who was surrounded by this group of birds.
"Hachi, what are you doing?" can cause the public outrage of so many birds.
Xiaoba saw that Feng Junhui was coming, and there was a hurricane, so he shrank back and continued to lie on the ground. It was rare that it didn't open its mouth to defend itself, but lowered its head, not daring to look at Feng Junhui and them.
Seeing Xiao Hachi's appearance, Feng Junhui immediately knew that this was completely Xiao Hachi's business, and it knew that it had made a mistake, and it was not small! But he was very curious, what did Xiao Hachi do: "Xiao Hachi, get up, sue me what did you do?"
Hachi didn't even raise his head this time, and just lay on the ground and pretended to be a dead bird. Instead, a pair of black-gray cuckoos with white spots stood out from the flock. They stood up and shouted at Feng Junhui miserably, and looked at Xiaoba with hatred from time to time. Not long after the birds came forward, another pair of turtledoves stood up and sued the pair of cuckoos.
Feng Junhui didn't understand what they meant at all, but Hurricane heard it clearly. Then he walked up to Hachi and picked it up. I saw that a bird egg full of spots appeared where Hachi was lying on his stomach. Feng Junhui didn't dare to go forward to pick it up, because he was afraid that his breath would contaminate the bird's egg, and then the bird that gave birth to the egg would abandon the bird's egg.
Generally, after the bird lays the egg, it will have its own breath left on the egg. If a person takes it, or if another bird occupies the nest, they will not feel their own breath on the eggs they have laid, or if they feel that the other breath is too strong, they will simply abandon the egg. Therefore, many people who go to dig out the bird's nest, if they pinch each egg and put it back, after a while, they will find that in the original bird's nest, the big bird has flown away, and only one nest of eggs remains.
"It's stealing people's eggs. Hurricane said, pointing to the eggs on the ground.
"Ahh
"Their eggs have been stolen," Hurricane said, pointing to the pair of turtledoves, and then to the cuckoos, "but the eggs belong to theirs." ”
Feng Junhui was a little confused, what was going on.
In fact, this kind of thing can happen when two birds fight for one egg, mainly because of the wonder of the cuckoo bird. It has a lot of elegant aliases, what Wanggui, Urging, Du Yu or something, because it keeps screaming day and night, and its voice is poignant, as if it is calling for relatives in the distance.
Therefore, poets who are sad in spring and autumn always like to pin the sorrows of those who think about and look forward to the king on the cuckoo bird. Since ancient times, there have been many verses about it. Like Li Bai's "One call, one ileum and one broken, three springs and three months remember Sanba", "I heard Zigui crying at night and the moon, and I was sad about the empty mountain", Li Shangyin's "Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and Emperor Wang's spring heart trusts the cuckoo" and so on, all of which are famous sentences that have flowed through the ages.
But behind these, the cuckoo bird also has a particularly strange living habits. They are not good for birds' eggs, they can be said to be the scum and strange among birds, and they are bad to the apex. They lay their own eggs in other birds' nests and know how to disguise their eggs as those of other birds.
Their eggs usually take a short time to incubate, and when their chicks hatch, they will push other eggs out of the nest and break them. Moreover, the young birds will beg for food very badly. Let other birds raise their young, and also harm other people's eggs, so this cuckoo is also a fox among birds, or the bad kind.
Of course, the average farmer likes to call cuckoos cuckoos because their calls are like "cuckoos". From March to July of the lunar calendar, the cry of "cuckoo" simply resounded between the mountains and fields in the north and south of the great rivers of our country.
It is precisely because of their habit of laying eggs in other birds' nests that today's bitter master has two pairs of birds. This cuckoo bird is really shameless, and at this time, he was embarrassed to stand up and accuse Xiaohachi. Of course, Hachi's act of stealing bird eggs cannot be tolerated. It's no wonder that it is besieged by birds, after all, many birds are laying eggs now, and there is such an egg thief, or a house thief, how can they rest assured. As for the cuckoo laying eggs in other birds' nests, this is a law of nature, and Feng Junhui does not intend to correct them.
"Hachi, why did you steal their eggs?" asked Feng Junhui as he looked at Hachi, who was being held in his hand by the hurricane and was holding his body together.
Xiaoba is still silent, and there is quite a kind of posture of "I won't say if I kill you, and I won't say if you can't kill me". Feng Junhui thought that he couldn't ask the reason today, but he didn't expect Ziwei, who had been standing on the branch and looking at the sky, to fly down, look at Xiaoba, and then look at Feng Junhui, and said, "I don't have an egg." There was a deep disappointment in his tone.
"You're a male! Where did you get your eggs!" Hurricane thought that these two stupid birds were really stupid! Both of them were males, but he laid an egg and he looked at it, and he was also curious about what the eggs laid by the male bird looked like!
"Poof......" Feng Junhui couldn't help laughing. Then he straightened his distorted expression, and asked Xiao Ba sternly: "Because Ziwei doesn't have bird eggs, and you can't give birth to bird eggs, so you want to steal one for it and let it hatch the eggs?" According to Xiao Hachi's liking for Ziwei, it really did this thing.
Hachi finally nodded, and struggled to fly off the hurricane's hand, blocking in front of Ziwei. With its small body, it can't be covered at all. But the heart for Ziwei is real: "Because Ziwei wants a baby bird, we will treat this baby well." ”
"No matter how much you like this egg, and how good you will be to the baby bird in the future, it will not necessarily be happy with its parents immediately. Its parents will also be very sad. Besides, this egg-stealing behavior is not right, just like the bird thief we caught last time. Feng Junhui said.
"But they don't want their own eggs! I'm just picking them up for Ziwei. Hachi immediately pointed to the pair of cuckoo birds: "It lays eggs in other people's houses, and doesn't want eggs." ”
Well, so that's the case, no wonder Hachigo stole the cuckoo's egg. Feng Junhui didn't know how to answer Xiaoba for a while, it's like. Some people threw their own children on the street, some people picked them up and wanted to raise them themselves, and now their biological parents suddenly appeared again.
The pair of mountain turtledoves over there, who obviously understood what Hachi meant, were not happy again, flew to the side of the egg, and looked up and down for a long time. Then he screamed a few times, and flew at the pair of cuckoo birds, intending to tear them apart. After seeing that their crimes were exposed, the two cuckoo birds actually ran away directly, and they didn't even want the egg!
"Look, look, they don't want it!" Xiao Hachi stepped forward, carefully grabbed the egg and put it in front of Ziwei, this egg is its breath, Ziwei will definitely like it!
Feng Junhui will be even more speechless, how can he speak. However, he still symbolically said: "Hachi, you can't steal the eggs of other birds." ”
"Okay!" Hachi replied crisply this time, and turned his head to Ziwei and said, "Our eggs!"
Then, the two of them directly grabbed the egg and flew back to Ziwei's nest, which was still the nest that Feng Junhui helped make. Hachi has now abandoned the bird's nest he worked so hard to build and lives in Ziwei's big bird's nest instead. The other birds also dispersed, and the turtledove went to see if there were any other people's eggs in their nests.
In the end, the scene of stealing birds' eggs ended so strangely. And Xiaohachi and Ziwei, a pair of strange males, also began their journey of incubating eggs......
