The birds outside the window are singing, and in recent days they have woken me up just after five o'clock.

In contrast, the call of a pair of small birds on the balcony is very ordinary, far less than the birds outside the window that wake me up.

This pair of birds is too lazy to speak, often silent for most of the day, and occasionally squeaks and chirps when they are happy, but we like this pair of birds, because they are good-looking, and appearance is justice, which is common to nature.

One of the two birds is called Suarez and the other is called Cavani, and the name is also arbitrary. At that time, Beanzi was watching a ball game, and casually reported these two names, originally I planned to name one Wilde and the other Rose, and I also thought that one would be called Mr. Fujino and the other would be called Runtu......

Choosing a name requires inspiration, but you don't have to pay too much attention to the meaning, just like Mr. Lu Xun's pen name is very many, how many are there? In 1976, Rong Bao Zhai published the book "Lu Xun's Pen Name Print", which recorded 156 pen names of Lu Xun, and later we found some of Mr. Lu Xun's pen names, and there are about 160 of them now.

Amazing!

Naming the tasks in the house also often made me bald...... Mr. Lu Xun has 160 pen names.

Mr. Zhou likes to change pen names, and the origin of many pen names is also very interesting, for example, when publishing "The True Story of Ah Q", the pen name used is "Ba Ren". The pen name "Ba Ren", Mr. said in the article "The Causes of Ah Q's True Biography": "The signature 'Ba Ren' is to take the 'Xia Riba Ren', which does not mean elegant. ”

For example, the pen name "You Guang" is mostly used to publish articles related to "night", which means "ears that listen to the night and eyes that see the night"; And "dawn horn" is "a horn played before dawn." ”

Last autumn, when I went home on the weekend to pull beans to the Yuntai Road Flower and Bird Market to buy some soil for planting flowers, my grandfather heard from a guest who came to sell books that now I don't need the same soil to raise flowers, but now I use clean and less pest-free "nutrient soil".

As soon as I got home, my grandfather talked to me about whether to buy some online, and I said that there is a flower and bird market, and I can use it if I buy it directly, and a bag is about 3kg, which is enough.

The autumn sun is shining brightly, and the sky is blue, as if you can look through this layer of blue candy wrapper, and see beyond the atmosphere, you can see the space station and artificial satellites around the earth.

The nearest flower and bird market to home is the flower and bird market on Yuntai Road, although the business area is not large, but you can also walk for a while, dogs, kittens, chickens and ducks have everything.

As soon as you enter the flower and bird market, you can buy the nutritious soil for raising flowers, and the business of several shops selling flowers at the door is booming, and the store area is much larger than that in the back alley.

Green baskets, jasper, bamboo, gardenias, coconuts, fortune trees, and Wanzhong Mountain are all green plants that are easy to feed and live, and pots are crowded on the wood-paneled table in front of the store.

Succulents have become popular in recent years, and the pots are very cute and cute, and the names are better than the other. Blue Apple, Rainbow Jade, Tia, Queen Salsa, Autumn Li, Blowing Snow Pine, Flower Moon Night......

Some of them are named after their shapes, such as bear claws, raindrops, and baby fingers – the name is so cute that it feels scary, and when I first heard about it, I thought of Junji Ito's manga spinning and spinning in the wind.

In contrast, the name bear claw is much more endearing, and the variety has a succulent leaf petal with short hairs attached to it, and the small brown pointed claws are vivid and cute.

\bUnder the table, small daisies of various colors bloom luxuriantly, dozens of pots are piled together, and the price is not expensive, ten to fifteen yuan a pot, buy two pots and give a plastic watering can. The nutrient soil that my grandfather asked for was placed in rows next to the daisy, and the brown printing font on the green bag was blurry, and at first glance it looked like "the cover of a pirated book".

"Ten yuan a pack, the price of those on the ground is the same, what kind of flowers do you plant?"

I just wanted to speak, but the boss was busy greeting a couple on the side, it seemed that these two guests were going to buy fresh cut flowers, and the profits of fresh cut flowers were very high, so the boss was naturally too lazy to do our ten-yuan business.

"Generally, the flowers grown in the home can be used, and this kind of soil is the most economical."

Well, don't disturb the boss's business, scan the code to pay. I haven't come to the flower and bird market for a while to get close to the flowers, grasses, fish and insects, the bosses here seem to have learned to scan the code to collect, businessmen must keep pace with the times, even the stalls of the vegetable market have scanned the code to collect, the progress of the times is really in all aspects, and it is sometimes difficult to keep some old things.

I walked a little deeper into the alley, and suddenly I couldn't get through. Due to the narrow alley of the flower and bird market, there are only enough for two people to pass side by side at most, and one owner stood outside the store to occupy the road, and Douzi and I had to wait in place.

This boss has big eyes and thick eyebrows, a full forehead, speaks with a speaker, and a weighty gold chain on his wrist, when he scrubs the basin, the bracelet shakes as he likes, but it also adds a bit of the taste of meat eaten by hard-working people, and it is by no means the copper smell of the rich and rich man showing off his wealth.

Seeing two student-looking people watching, the boss smiled, wiped the iron birdcage in his hand, and said with a smile: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm blocking your way, come, go this way, go this way." ”

Seeing that the boss was so polite, Douzi and I were embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay, we just go shopping casually, and we're not in a hurry." ”

"That's fine, or you look at my birds."

\b Birds?

I looked over the wall, and there were about five or six birdcages, all rectangular cages, some with five or six birds, some with two.

"These are the right ones." The boss put down the work in his hand and introduced it, and his attitude was very courteous.

"Right?" Beanzi asked.

"yes, look here, do you see this cabin?"

Douzi and I nodded, "Is this for laying eggs?" "I guessed curiously.

"Yes, these birds are raised by my son, he likes to raise birds since he was a child, and he has raised them for many years, and now he grows up and says he doesn't want to raise birds, you see I'm almost annoyed to death, so I want to take them and sell them, I don't do bird business myself, these are parrots, you see this pair of green, and yellow, and this pair of blue ......"

I turned around and looked at the owner's shop, which was full of turtles - the owner used to sell turtles.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you at the cost price, this birdcage, plus the nest next to it, adds up to dozens of yuan, I'll give you a bag of grain, and you can buy it back for a hundred yuan to raise it well."

I and Beanzi don't raise birds, but I can see that Beans like it, and it's the first time I've seen a beautiful bird like the sky so closely, light blue, blue like the sky and fluffy white like white clouds, the hair is not long, the boss said because it's still small, but it's not the youngest time, I can't teach anything, I can only watch, if they lay eggs and give birth to new budgies, they can be trained, and the well-behaved birds will climb on your shoulders.

They can't go back to the sky, the caged birds, but they seem to have draped the sky over their bodies.

I asked my boss if I could look in the mirror for the bird, and the boss said he had never tried it, and I smiled and shook my head, "It's just a joke, it's just a joke." ”
