Dongcheng District, Lianhai City, Little Red Flower Kindergarten.

Friday afternoon before school.

The kindergarten teacher is assigning tasks to the children for the next week.

"Children, go home this weekend and prepare a small animal with your parents, and bring it when you come to the kindergarten next Monday morning, the small animal can be a kitten or a dog, or a small fish and bird."

More than a dozen children in the classroom immediately exploded.

"Teacher, I have a big Erha at home, can I bring it here?"

"Yes."

"Teacher, I have a little turtle at home, can you bring it?"

"Yes."

"Teacher, my kitten and a lot of small fish, do you need to bring them all?"

"Just bring one."

A little boy sitting in the last row of the classroom said timidly, "Teacher, my mother said that small animals have bacteria on them and cannot be raised. ”

The kindergarten teacher was stunned for a moment, and quickly found a reason, "As long as the small animal is vaccinated in advance and bathed every day, the small animal will not get sick and will not infect us." Therefore, Lele went home this weekend to discuss with her mother to see what small animals to bring over, raise a small animal, and cultivate our patience and love. ”

The little boy Lele nodded seriously, "Oh, I asked my grandfather to buy me a bird for me on the weekend." ”

After school, the kindergarten teacher informed all the parents of the weekend's tasks through the kindergarten's WeChat group.

The little boy Li Lele lives with his parents, grandparents and grandparents in Xinghai Garden Community, Dongcheng District.

The grandparents' house lives on the 6th floor of the top floor, and Mom and Dad and Lele live on the 5th floor.

In the evening, Grandpa took Lele home, and on the way home, Lele said to Grandpa, "Grandpa, the teacher asked us to take the little animal to the kindergarten, can you buy me a little bird this weekend?" I love birds. ”

"Good baby, of course you can, tomorrow I will take you to the flower and bird market to pick, there are a lot of birds there, all kinds, Lele can buy whatever he likes."

Lele was very happy, but a little frustrated in a blink of an eye, "But my mother won't let me raise it, last time I picked up a stray dog and went home, my mother gave it away." ”

"It's okay, don't tell your mother, we buy it and raise it at grandpa's house, you go to grandpa's house every day."

"Okay, it's still grandpa who is the best for me." Lele happily kissed his grandfather on the face.

That night, Lele's family got together for dinner, Lele's mother remembered the homework assigned by the kindergarten teacher today, and asked Lele, "Lele, today the kindergarten teacher sent a message in the group, asking you to take the baby animal to the kindergarten on Monday, what do you want to bring?" ”

"Birdie!"

"No, there are a lot of bacteria on the bird, let's bring a small fish, the fish is relatively clean, and tomorrow my mother will go to the market to buy one for you."

Lele was unhappy, and looked at his grandfather on the side.

Grandpa winked at Lele, and said to Lele's mother, "Lele's mother, tomorrow I will take Lele to the market to buy fish, and you don't have to worry about it." ”

Early in the morning of the second day.

Grandpa took Lele to the Qingheyuan Flower and Bird Market near the community.

Although it was early in the morning, because it was a weekend, the flower and bird market was crowded.

There are small traders and hawkers who come here to wholesale flowers, birds, fish and insects, but more people come here to hang out.

The market is filled with the sounds of birds, the smell of flowers and plants mixed with the smell of bird droppings, and the smell of water vapor formed by the bonsai vaporization device, and the smell is very complicated.

Grandpa took Lele straight to a store at the west end of the flower and bird market.

The façade of this house is quite large, with all kinds of flowers and plants in front of the door, and there are several large cages in the middle of the flowers, which hold many varieties of birds.

There is a large plaque on the door of the store "Zhang Yongfa Flowers and Birds Wholesale".

"Boss, I'm coming over today to buy two parrots for my little grandson."

Lele's grandfather Li Qiang has bought a lot of flowers and plants here, so he is familiar with the boss Zhang Yongfa.

After the boss sent away a wholesale flower and herb vendor, he came up to greet Grandpa Lele.

"Lao Li, bring your grandson today, you can choose what kind of parrot you want."

Grandpa let Lele choose by himself.

The happy Lele had already squatted beside the birdcage, looked at it for a while, and pointed to two of the yellow-green parrots, "I want these two." ”

"I like budgies, okay, I'll catch them for you."

The boss grabbed two budgies selected by Lele from the large birdcage and put them into a clean and new delicate birdcage.

Lele happily held the birdcage in his hand.

"Boss, how much is the two budgies, plus this birdcage?" Grandpa Lele is ready to pay.

"It's all old customers, just the money for two parrots, 100 yuan is enough, and the birdcage is counted as a gift from me."

Lele's grandfather paid the money, and took Lele to the store that sold small fish, bought two small fish, and then went home.

The fish was put in Lele's own home, and the grandfather and grandson made a good statement, saying that they only bought two small fish at the flower and bird market this time.

Two budgies were kept on the balcony of their grandparents' house.

Of course, about the two parrots, Lele's mother didn't know.

Lele was very happy, and whenever he had time on the weekend, he went to his grandfather's house to play with the two parrots.

Monday morning.

Grandpa took Lele and two budgies to kindergarten.

In the kindergarten, the children bring a variety of animals.

In addition to common cats and dogs, small fish and birds, there are also children with pets corn snakes, lizards, bullfrogs and other uncommon cold-blooded animals.

The bright red corn snake scared the children, no one dared to approach, most of the children liked cats and dogs, and the two budgies brought by Lele were also very popular.

Some children wanted to touch the budgies in the cage, so Lele generously opened the cage door and caught the birds out, so that the two budgies could be passed in the hands of the children.

When all the children looked around, and the two budgies returned to Lele's hands, Lele found that the two birds were dying.

After the two budgies were put back in the cage, they died not long after.

In the evening of the same day, the grandfather came to the kindergarten to pick up Lele and found the dejected little grandson, as well as the two dead budgies in the cage in his hand.

"Lele, what's wrong?"

Lele cried and complained, "Today the children want to see the parrot, so I will catch the parrot out and let them touch it a few times, and then the parrot will die." ”

Grandpa thought to himself, it must be the children who accidentally overused themselves and pinched the parrot to death.

Grandpa comforted Lele, "It's okay, grandpa will buy you two more, don't tell your mother about this." ”

Lele burst into tears and laughed, followed his grandfather to the flower and bird market to buy two similar-looking budgies, and continued to keep them on the balcony of his grandfather's house.

A week later, Lele fell ill and he began to have a fever and cough.

Grandpa was also unwell, weak, dizzy, and had some fever.

The grandfather and grandson were sick at the same time, and the mother asked Lele for leave from the kindergarten, and after giving Lele cold medicine, Lele was temporarily taken care of by her grandmother.
