Stepping on a skateboard, Hideyuki Tanaka continued to deliver newspapers to the door of the last customer of the day.

The family is a regular customer of his, and they subscribe to at least two or three newspapers of various types every year.

It's just that their family lives in a somewhat remote location, on the edge of this small city, close to the foot of the mountain.

There were only a dozen families there, but he was the only one who had subscribed to the newspaper.

For those who are couriers, their wages are calculated according to the number of newspapers and periodicals they distribute each day.

The rest of the newspaper delivery staff in the company disliked the distance there, the number of newspaper subscriptions was not many, and there was no benefit from the time-consuming and laborious work, so they were reluctant to go.

Only Xiuxing doesn't dislike these, so this family's newspaper has always been delivered by him.

After delivering the last newspaper of the day, after finishing the morning's work, Xiuyuki, who was in a happy mood, stepped on a skateboard and walked to the city.

Today is the day when the newspaper company settles the salary, and Xiuxing has done a very good job this month, and the salary is half more than before.

With this salary, which was already a good salary for him, Xiuxing secretly calculated in his heart that he wanted to use the salary in his hand to buy something for his family and his mother and sister.

If you want to have a good watercolor paint, if you want to have a good mother, buy her a new pair of leather shoes, she hasn't changed the old leather shoes on her feet for two years.

Just as Xiuyuki was thinking about what style and color of new leather shoes he wanted to buy for his mother, a series of car horns suddenly sounded behind him.

Xiuxing looked back when he heard the sound and saw a milky white van with a shabby appearance driving behind him.

Since it is on the outskirts of the city, the road here is not too wide, but the milky vans are very fast.

It was supposed to be to alert the vehicles and pedestrians in front and behind, so the van honked its horn all the way.

Xiuxing got out of the way when he heard the sound, and only after the van drove past did he frown and say disapprovingly: "Since you are afraid of scratching others, it would be good to drive slower, so what to do quickly." ”

While saying Xiuyuki, he continued to walk on his skateboard, but it didn't take long for him to see a living thing struggling and fluttering on the road.

Xiuyuki stepped on the skateboard and slowly came to the side of the thing, and found that it was actually an injured budgie struggling underground.

This parrot is not very large, and its color is the most common yellow-green.

It's just that it is now extremely wolf, and the feathers on its body are missing a piece in the east and a piece in the west, not to mention a pair of wings that are still in an extremely unreasonable state, turning over on its back.

Even without having to call a doctor, Xiuyuki could tell that the parrot's wings should have been fractured.

He circled around the parrot on his skateboard, hesitated for a moment, picked it up, and put it in the backpack behind him.

Soon after, Fujimoto's pet hospital welcomed a guest, Hideyuki Tanaka, who came to the doctor with the injured budgie in his hand.

Looking at the parrot whose wings were about to flip on its back, Dr. Fujimoto hurriedly took a picture of its bones, and then took the film, Dr. Fujimoto said to Hideyuki: "This tiger skin is very seriously injured, not only the wings, but when I just examined it, I found that its neck also has a very strict problem. In order to ensure its safety, the best thing to do now is to be hospitalized immediately and immediately undergo surgery. ”

Hearing this, Xiuyuki touched his wallet, took out all the money in it, handed it to the doctor, and asked, "Mr. Fujimoto, I only have so much on me now, I don't know if it will be enough for the cost of this bird's surgery?" If that's not enough, can you operate on the bird first? I went home right away to get the money. ”

Doctor Fujimoto was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then took out half of the money given by Xiuyuki, returned the other half to him and said: "It's just that these are enough, the budgie is small, the operation will not take too long, the difficulty is not very large, and the measurement of medication is also small, I will also collect the cost of hospitalization in the future." ”

In fact, Dr. Fujimoto's statement is exactly the opposite, the smaller the bird's skeleton, nerves, and blood vessels, the thinner the skeleton, nerves, and blood vessels, and the more difficult the operation.

The money collected by Dr. Fujimoto is less than one-third of the cost of normal surgery in the early stage, let alone the rehabilitation medication after surgery.

However, Mr. Fujimoto, who is an old neighbor of the Tanaka family, knows the situation of their family very well, and the Tanaka family, who is not financially wealthy, does not have any pets at all.

So this budgie should have been picked up and sent over for treatment after being found by the child Xiuxing after being injured.

Compared to those who turn a blind eye to the injured animal, or send it over and never pay attention to it, Xiuxing's child is much more responsible.

Looking at the money he took out, it must be the remuneration he got for his part-time job this month.

For a budget-conscious child who can't afford to buy himself a new item for a year, it's a great thing to be able to pay for the treatment of a small animal that has nothing to do with him.

So Dr. Fujimoto decided to give him and the budgie a waiver.

Hideyuki took the mat that Dr. Fujimoto had opened and went downstairs to pay the bill, and by the time he found it, the light outside the operating room door had already turned on, and it was obvious that Dr. Fujimoto had already started the operation in advance.

Two hours later, Dr. Fujimoto, wearing a surgical gown, walked out of the operating room.

Xiuyuki, who was waiting outside, hurriedly walked up and asked about the budgie parrot.

Dr. Fujimoto took off his mask and said, "The operation was a success, but I can't guarantee how well this parrot's wings will eventually recover." If the function of the wings is good, then it will have a chance to fly again, and if it is not good, maybe it will not be able to fly again. ”

Not being able to fly is tantamount to taking half of a bird's life, but the doctors have done their best, and the final result will not be known until ten days later.

While they were talking, the nurse lady pushed the budgie that had been treated after the operation and walked out of the operating room.

Xiuyuki stepped forward and looked at the parrot that was sleeping in a special insulated sterilization box.

Although it was picked up, Xiuxing was still very worried about the safety of this parrot, and the nurse said when she saw this: "The anesthesia meter has not been withdrawn yet, and it will be awake after waiting for a few hours." We will prepare special food for it to ensure its nutrition and recovery during the hospital, so you can rest assured. ”

Hideyuki Tanaka raised his head and looked at the time when he heard this, there was still half an hour left for him to work at a fast food restaurant, so he stroked the cover of the incubator with his hand, and then said, "In that case, I will give it to the doctor and Sister Emi." My part-time job won't end until 9 p.m., and I guess you'll be closed by then, so I'll come and see it tomorrow morning. ”

Just as he was about to leave, Mr. Fujimoto suddenly said, "Hideyuki, you can name this budgie parrot." ”

When the nurse heard this, she also followed up and said, "That is, it is now hospitalized, and the medical record card is written on it is a budgies." But we can't just call budgies, budgies, right? Anyway, you saved its life, so let's give it a name so that it wakes up and knows that we call it. ”

Hearing this, Xiuxing looked at the guy with a yellow face, a green back, and yellow wings, thought for a while and said, "My name is Xiuxing, so let's call it Xiaoxing." Luckily, I hope it can be lucky enough to be healthy and healthy. ”

So not long after, on the front of the budgie incubator, there was an extra medical record card with Xiao Xing's name written on it.

The second floor of Fujimoto Pet Hospital is still very lively today, not only Xu Jie is here, but Ah Zhong and Hei Yu are also here.

Ah Zhong, who was playing with his friends, was performing his stunt for the lion cat baby at this time, that is, turning around in circles and chasing and biting his tail, and he didn't feel dizzy after dozens of laps.

Xu Jie couldn't bear to look at it directly when he looked at it.

When it turned its head, it realized that the black feather that had landed on the bird rack honestly actually flew up and fell towards the ambulance pushed by the nurse.

The nurse who had placed the new patient whispered to the animals, "This budgie has just undergone surgery, you should be quiet and not disturb its rest." ”

The lion cat and the golden retriever obediently stopped playing, and the baby jumped on Ah Zhong's back, and the two planned to go downstairs to play without disturbing the patient's recuperation.

After the black feather fell, the black bean-like bird's eyes stared at the incubator and looked at it again and again, and then said: "The wings of this parrot were deliberately twisted off by someone, and under normal circumstances, the broken ones will not be the shape just now." This time, it is fateful, and when it meets Xiuxing, the child is sent to Mr., otherwise it will not wait for tomorrow, and it will have to see the king of Hades. ”

Xu Jie ran over and looked at the parrot when he heard this, and found that the doctor's skills were really exquisite, and the parrot's wings had been corrected by the doctor when he was admitted to the hospital, and he was wearing a soft plaster cast to prevent the bone from dislocating again.

Black Feather, who has always been known for his elegant gentlemanly demeanor, this time rarely jumped with a bird's paw and said: "Who can such a small bird touch, and it is not because of those bad tastes that its wings are broken. Damn, don't let me know who did it, or I won't peck him in the eye. ”

After lunch, Mo came over on time to pick up Xu Zhuo to go for a run.

Although it was a hot weather of more than 30 degrees above zero outside, this still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of Xu Jie's fans.

Along the way, there were already people squatting with mobile phones, but fortunately, Xu Jie's usual running routes were under the shade of trees, otherwise there might be a few more people suffering from heat stroke.

Along the familiar route in the past, Xu Jie trotted unhurriedly, and the clicking photos on the road never stopped.

When passing by an intersection, Xu Jie stopped and looked at the car left and right, and after making sure that there was no danger, he raised his paw and prepared to cross the road.

When I walked to the center of the intersection, a milky white van suddenly popped out of the road, honking its horn all the way, and rushed towards it very quickly.

Even if Xu Jie and Mo were found walking on the road, the van did not have the slightest intention of slowing down, and it was estimated that the lives of the two cats were not within the range that the driver was worried about.

Fortunately, Xu Jie and Mo reacted quickly, and after hearing the horn, they accelerated and ran inside, so they were not injured.

Running to the other side of the road safe and sound, Xu Jie angrily meowed at the milky van that had gone away.

The one it meows to drive is not long-eyed, and it is clear that there is a cat crossing the street and driving like this, and the cat's life is not life, which is really unreasonable.

Mo, who was protecting the little raccoon flower at his side, licked Xu Jie's fried head, and then squinted his eyes, looking at the van that was about to disappear at the end of the road with a very unkind look.
