Chapter 44: The Black Pearl
At night, Zhang He and Tang Xin were not idle at all, taking pictures of the bird at close range, weighing, measuring the size, and putting a foot ring on the bird, Zhang He said to Xu Zhen that this foot ring has a built-in chip, positioning tracking and other functions.

Xu Zhen also knew that only this rare and endangered animal had this special treatment, and the clucking chickens in his chicken pen did not have this honor.
The past few days of getting along have made Xu Zhen and Zhang He friends, and of course, Tang Xin has also begun to talk a little more.
Tang Xin thought that Xu Zhen was just a second-generation farmer, graduated from middle school, did not go out to work, and lived at home with the sun on his back. Later, I learned that he had contracted more than 200 acres of land in his hometown to grow lemons, vegetables and fruits, and he was also a top student who graduated from Ningjing University.
You must know that she also studied in Ningjing University, but she studied at Agricultural University, of course she knows that Ningjing University is not low in Sujiang Province and even the whole country. It can even be ranked in the top 10 in the country! It is also worthy of its name to say that it is a first-line famous university.
Compared to their agricultural university, it is a level higher, although they are all in the same city.
She has always believed that she is also a young man with ideals and ambitions, so she also admires Xu Zhen, a young man like Xu Zhen who gives up a high-paying job in the city and a superior life in the city and chooses to return to his hometown to start a business and contribute to the development of his hometown!
Although she is not from a rural area, she has visited some rural areas because of her professional relationship, and knows that the hollowing out of rural areas is becoming more and more serious, and the countryside has gradually moved away from the former synonym of fresh air and beautiful mountains and rivers.
In the past few days of contact, she has also been a little impressed by Xu Zhen, and even sometimes began to be a little interested, feeling that this man has a temperament, which is not what kind of feeling it is.
When chatting with Zhang He alone, Xu Zhen knew that Tang Xin's family conditions were actually quite superior! His father runs a company in Chengjing City, which is not big, but it can also provide Tang Xin with a comfortable and comfortable life.
It's just her love for animals and the planet that keeps her from giving up this job.
However, a child from a good family applied for an agricultural university, which made Xu Zhen a little unexpected, he thought that the children of poor farmers who studied in agricultural universities were generally poor. If he hadn't been admitted to Ningjing University, he would probably have gone to Huaxia Agricultural University, which was his second choice.
He remembered that one of his high school classmates was also studying at Ningjing Agricultural University, and he had also been to the Agricultural University a few times, and the environment there was actually quite good.
Ningjing Agricultural University ranks second in the national agricultural universities, second only to Huaxia Agricultural University, and some fields such as plant protection, agriculture and forestry managers, management, agronomy and so on are ranked first in China!

The next day.
It happened to be Saturday, and next week the elementary school will have its final exams, and after the exams, there will be a winter vacation.
Xu Zhen brought her little niece over, and saw that her uncle and sister had put this beautiful bird in a cage, and she knew at a young age that this was to better protect it, not to keep it up as a pet.
"Sister, what are you doing by putting an ankle bracelet on the bird's foot?" Li Xiaole asked curiously.
Tang Xin also liked this well-behaved and beautiful, cleanly dressed little Lori, so he hugged her and explained: "It's like a person's ID card, we have to give it an ID card and record some of its conditions, so that it can be more convenient to observe in the future!" ā
"Oh!" Li Xiaole nodded as if he didn't understand, and then asked, "Sister, does it have a name?" ā
"Yes, it's called Black Ibis 01! This is the first black ibis we have found in Sanchuan Province since the new century! ā
"I see it has a lot of black feathers and colored feathers, it looks black and shiny, can I call it a black pearl!"
"It is said that the first one to discover it has the right to name it, you can ask your uncle, he can change its name!"
In order to make the little niece happy, of course Xu Zhen is willing to let the little niece name her, for him, this bird will belong to the Provincial Forestry Department in the future, and it has nothing to do with him! But it would be nice if I could get him to name it!
"Since you think it's good to call it Black Pearl, then call it Black Pearl!"
"Sister, do you want to take it away?"
"Yes! There are eagles in the sky and bad people on the ground, we have to protect it well, so we will send it to Chengjing City Bird Forest for release, and you can come and see it with your uncle when the time comes! ā
"Hmmm! Is it in the Bird Grove of Lion Rock? My dad and I have been there once before, and the birds are so beautiful and the sounds are so good! Li Xiaole grinned sweetly.
"Yes! Then you are welcome to come back often! Tang Xin is very happy that her work can be recognized by the children.
ā¦ā¦
Zhang He pulled Xu Zhen aside.
"I reported to my superiors, the Provincial Forestry Department rewarded you with 1,000 yuan and a certificate, as well as the accommodation and living expenses of Tang Xin and me at your house in the past few days, which is 100 yuan a day for one person! It's also 1,000 yuan, and you know that the Forestry Department is a Qingshui Yamen! I hope you don't have too little! Take it! Then, let's take a group photo as a souvenir! ā
Xu Zhen excused himself: "I can take the bonus and certificate, and the living expenses will be counted!" My family is not very wealthy, but I can entertain a few friends! Professor Zhang, I admire you for being so dedicated, how can I take your money! ā
"It's not my money, it's the Forestry Department's money, if you don't accept it, it's also very troublesome for me to return it to the Forestry Department, you can accept it this time, anyway, it's not much money, and I won't remember your friendship if you collect the money." In the future, if there is a chance for me and Tang Xin to come to your house again, I won't give money at that time! ā
Seeing Zhang He say this, Xu Zhen could only take the envelope and put it in his pocket: "Hehe, since that's the case, then I'll accept it!" You can come at any time, bring your friends, and I will entertain you with good food and wine at any time! ā
Then the three of them also had a little niece and a bird to take a few solo photos, group photos, group photos.
"Well, thank you so much, Xu Zhen, you have made outstanding contributions to the biodiversity of our Sanchuan Province! We'll remember you! Let's go first! If you have time to come to the province in the future, I will wait for you in the bird forest! Zhang He and Xu Zhen came to a warm hug.
Of course, Xu Zhen couldn't have a hug with Tang Xin, but the little niece had a hug with Tang Xin.
"Goodbye!" Xu Zhen pulled Li Xiaole and waved towards the van that was gradually moving away.
ā¦ā¦
After sending away the experts from the province, Xu Zhen's family returned to peace! In the past few days, he has been accustomed to seeing a beautiful big bird catching fish in his fish pond to eat, and suddenly the bird is gone, and he really feels a little unaccustomed.
Black pearls.
The little niece gave the bird a good name.
