Relocation Brigade
Chapter 78 Poker Bridge 04
Master was coming, and after Chen Ling and the others arrived early, no one ordered food, they drank tea and chatted.
Tang Siping originally planned to organize the planting area of Sifang Mountain and sell it together with the business, but now that there is that Bougainvillea plant, he refuses to sell it no matter what.
He also made a moving request: "Master Chen, if the bougainvillea is still there after I die, can it be transplanted into the cemetery? I can spend an extra dollar to buy the cemetery."
Chen Ling felt that this person was going to be dazed, "Let's talk about it in detail then."
Tang Siping held the cup and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, let the children handle the things behind. I really think too long-term now."
"Is Tongtong okay now?" After hearing that Tang Siping didn't want to leave Sifang Mountain, Chen Ling was a little worried, "If you don't want to leave Sifang Mountain, what will Tongtong do? Will he be afraid?"
After all, he was in the cabinet of that villa, and seeing his mother being killed with his own eyes, he was so frightened that he refused to speak, and hid everywhere at night, which shows how much psychological shadow there is.
Tang Siping was stunned for a moment, and finally put a smile on his lonely face: "Master Chen, you don't know, after you left that day, he opened his mouth and called me Dad!"
Just thinking about it makes me want to cry.
"I originally planned to leave here because I had a child, but in the past few days, he seems to have forgotten the past, and he still grabbed me to find my mother." Tang Siping lowered his eyebrows and rubbed his fingers on the rim of the cup, "I asked him what he wanted He didn't want to change his life in another place, he shook his head and said no, saying that if we left, my mother wouldn't be able to find us when she came back..."
Children's words are always the most direct and cruel.
Every time Tang Siping heard it, he felt his heart being seized, and the pain made him want to cry out, but he dared not show his intense emotions in front of the child.
He has many friends, from all corners of the country, including wine and meat friends, as well as lifelong friends.
But Chen Ling was the only one who could make him speak out these things that were suppressed in his heart.
"It's a good thing to forget." Chen Ling said, "The feng shui of Sifang Mountain is actually very good. In addition, after Xiaoyang's death and annihilation, the spiritual energy returned to the mountain soil, the plants in the planting area will grow well, and their vitality will be higher than normal. more tenacious."
Tang Siping deeply felt the same, "The growth rate of vegetation is a little faster than before, but it is also within the normal range."
"What about your former employees?" Chen Ling remembered that when news of the haunting came out, many people didn't want to work.
Tang Siping said: "Some of them have left, and some of them have been left with high salaries. I will go to other places to recruit some people."
Zhao Xunchang came in at this time.
He was led by the waiter to knock on the door, and the moment he saw his little apprentice through the crack of the door, he burst into smiles.
Chen Ling called Master, stood up and pulled the stool away for the old man.
Tang Siping got up quickly, pressed the shirt on his stomach with one hand, and stretched it with the other, "Mr. Zhao, I am Tang Siping. I work in greening. It's a pleasure to meet you."
As soon as Zhao Xunchang's butt touched the seat, he also stood up after hearing the words, holding each other's hand and shaking it up and down like a kind uncle.
"Where is there, I want to thank you for taking care of my little apprentice's business."
"You're too polite, it's Chen..." The master's master is here, so Tang Siping changed his words, "I should thank Mr. Chen. Without him, how could I sit here safe and sound."
Hearing the other party praise the young apprentice, Zhao Xunchang immediately lost his humility, let go of his hands, sat down, nodded and said: "This is what he should do."
Chen Lingxin said that it should be done, or that he took the money. He left in a hurry that day, and both parties were busy afterwards, so they didn't communicate much.
Tang Siping didn't know where he found out his account number, so he sent the money directly, which was a huge sum.
Without this money, he was really reluctant to pay Wu Weiwei to buy a bus.
Middle-aged people seem to have endless things to say when they meet old people. At the dinner table, Zhao Xunchang and Tang Siping talked about social phenomena to national economy, and from national economy to international development. Take vegetables.
Chen Ling looked at his small bowls that had been piled up into a mountain, and sighed in distress. Did this person think he was a pig that couldn't eat enough?
Raising his hand to hold down the chopsticks that Jiang Yu intends to pick up again, he said sadly: "It's really enough."
Jiang Yu felt that it was not enough, "You only ate this little."
Chen Ling was so choked by these words that he couldn't speak, put his hands under the table, and compared numbers: "You peeled eight crabs for me alone."
Jiang Yu's technique of peeling crabs is first-rate. First, he removes the eight legs, then pinches them with his fingers, and then pinches again, and the meat of the crab legs comes out completely from the broken head.
Then there are the crab claws.
This is even more exaggerated, such a hard shell became a small toy in the hands of the ancestors, and it would break when broken.Then uncover the crab shell, remove the whiskers, and divide the crab body into two.
Live together.
There is no need to use any tools in the whole process, it all depends on the hands with well-defined joints and slender joints.
Chen Ling ate very deliciously at first, but it became unbearably delicious after being stuffed too much, and he was so tired that he wanted to vomit.
Jiang Yu carefully observed the young man's face, seeing that his face was indeed full of repulsion, and he felt a little pity in his heart.
He picked up the hot handkerchief at hand and wiped his hands, gave up, but said without much regret: "You are too thin, you should eat more."
Chen Ling nodded perfunctorily, saying to himself that I don't want to be fat, it doesn't look good if I'm fat!
Zhao Xunchang listened to Tang Siping's words with one ear, and paid attention to the communication between the young apprentice and the old man with the other ear, so that his nose was almost crooked.
To dare to flirt so blatantly in front of an adult is outrageous and shameless.
Thinking about it, he sighed involuntarily.
Tang Siping stopped talking: "Mr. Zhao, what's the matter?"
Zhao Xunchang acted accordingly and said, "It's nothing, what you just said touched me a lot."
"Yeah, me too..." Tang Siping didn't doubt the old man's words at all, and continued to ramble.
When he was about to finish his meal, Zhao Xunchang's cell phone rang suddenly in his silk gown.
The caller is Qian Qing.
Qian Qing's words were full of excitement, "Old Mr. Zhao, the chick is about to break its shell!!!"
Zhao Xunchang was overjoyed, let go of his hand, and the phone fell into the soup bowl.
Chen Ling: "..."
Chen Ling hurriedly took out the phone for him, but luckily he moved fast enough, the oil and water didn't go in, only a little bit of soup.
Wipe the phone for the master, but the person on the other end of the phone didn't hear the response, and kept saying hello to the phone.
Seeing the word Qian Qing displayed on the screen, he was taken aback, and put it to his ear, "Sister Qian?"
Qian Qing recognized that it was Chen Ling, and her voice became louder, "You are here too, just in time, come with your master to watch the chicks break their shells!"
Chen Ling was also shocked.
If macaws lay two eggs in succession, they will only choose to incubate one by themselves. Fortunately, in the perilous nature, at least one chick can survive.
Cruel, but also helpless, this is the best choice they can make.
But when they arrived at the breeding base, the parrot eggs that should have been abandoned were put into an artificial incubator, and were watched by researchers 24 hours a day.
What Qian Qing was talking about should be the parrot egg that is being monitored all the time, not the one that is tightly pressed under the buttocks of the female parrot.
"Sister Qian, what about the other one?" Chen Ling was also very excited, the parrot egg had been hatching for a long time, and the shell was finally about to break.
"The situation of the other parrot is not very clear. The female and male parrots are all crowded in the bird's nest, blocking the camera." Qian Qing was quite speechless. Normally, after the two parrots met for a while, the male It will fly out to the feeding trough at the door to give something to the female.
Not today, like a brave little guard, doing his duty.
Chen Ling said: "Master and I will come right away!"
When the little apprentice hung up the phone, the boss of Zhao Xunchang snatched the phone unhappily, and put it in his pocket, "I wanted to give you a surprise, this Qian Qing, ruined my good deed!"
"It's enough to surprise me now that I know." Chen Ling took his clothes, dragged Zhao Xunchang and walked out impatiently.
Jiang Yu had long legs and was not in a hurry, so he didn't lag behind.
When Tang Siping caught up with his suit jacket, Jiang Yu had already bought the order.
He was quite embarrassed: "How can I ask you to invite me?"
"It's all the same." Jiang Yu signaled Tang Siping to follow, "We have to go to the breeding base first."
What breeding base?
Tang Siping was full of doubts, until he found out that it was a bird breeding base next to the wildlife park.
He parked the car, followed, and saw that Master Chen and his master walked with ease, so he knew without guessing that these two people must be regular visitors here.
After Qian Qing received the news that the two had arrived, she waited at the door of her office. When she saw someone, she immediately waved vigorously: "This way, let's go to the incubator."
The hatching room is not in the same place as the breeding room. It takes two more turns to get there after passing through the long corridor.
So far, the base in Beicheng has not successfully hatched macaws, let alone successfully bred them.After the news got out today, everyone in the institute came to watch.
But when Zhao Xunchang and others arrived, they let out the tightly surrounded door to make it easier for people to pass by.
Being stared at by pairs of eyes, Chen Ling was quite embarrassed, feeling like he was being privileged.
Zhao Xunchang was very helpful, and even taught him, "Don't be so thin-skinned, you are going to see your little nephew, they should give way!"
When Chen Ling heard it, oh my god, I am actually a senior!
In a good mood, I walked faster and faster.
Jiang Yu and Tang Siping were completely in the light of the two people in front, followed behind unimpeded, and entered the incubation room.
Inside the incubator is a warm yellow light, and in the middle is a small artificial bird's nest.
In the center of the nest, there is a white egg crooked.
The egg was bigger than an egg, and the shell had been cracked, and the shell might break at any time.
Qian Qing held the camera in his hand, and while taking pictures, he was still talking leisurely: "Our parrot eggs this time, both in egg laying time and hatching time, are longer than normal. But according to the monitoring map Look, the size of the little parrot inside is also bigger than the normal time to hatch. At present, I can't say whether this is good or bad, and I will know when the little one comes out."
Click, a very subtle sound came from the small speaker connected to the incubator.
The round and full eggshell cracked again.
There is a stubborn little creature that is trying to use its body and head to push against the hard obstacles, eager to come out and see this new world.
Someone behind tiptoed to see this scene and shouted excitedly: "It's broken, it's broken, it's broken!"
The people next to him were also very excited, "This is the first one in the base, and I don't know how the other female hatched. If they can all hatch today, our base can boast about it for a year!"
"No, there is usually a seminar or something. Those bases are arrogant, their nostrils are all soaring to the sky, and they are not afraid of flashing their necks. Now it's all right, let's feel proud."
Amidst the chirping and chirping, the little thing inside the eggshell stretched out a foot.
For a moment, the audience was silent.
The paw was so small, but powerful, and the toe came out, and then the tiny leg, and then the other.
After the eggshell has a large breakthrough, it is much easier for the chick to break the shell.
The soft, flesh-colored little thing in between desperately freed its buttocks from the eggshell, then the short and weak wings, and finally the head.
It must have been exhausted, it sat down on the nest with its head hanging down, its feet and wings fluttered together, and it couldn't stand up no matter what.
Chen Ling was engrossed in watching, and under excitement, he grabbed Jiang Yu's hand behind him: "Look, you are hairy!"
There are hairs, but there are very few, and the sporadic milky white fluff sticks to the skin obediently, looking distressed and pitiful.
Jiang Yu was not interested in the bird, but only in the hand that was tightly clutching his own, so he gave a perfunctory "hmm".
In contrast, Zhao Xunchang is much calmer on the surface, and the ecstasy on the inside is no less than that of Chen Ling. When he raised Xiaolan, Xiaolan was almost five years old, and she was almost mature.
He had never seen such a cute and naive boy when he was young.
Now, he seemed to be able to see through the incubator the appearance of the chick's father just hatching, and he almost shed tears.
"Unexpectedly, Xiao Lan has already married a daughter-in-law to be her father. Time flies too fast." Zhao Xunchang was relieved, but sad.
The growth, maturity, and failure of any life are all linked to time. This reminds him of himself and his apprentice who accompanied him. He is already old, and Chen Ling's life has just begun, and he doesn't know that he can still survive. How long will you stay with him.
Chen Ling saw the water stains in the corners of Master's eyes, and was stunned.
He hugged Master's shoulders in a funny way, and handed over a tissue, "Master, there are so many people."
"I didn't!" Zhao Xunchang roared, the water in the corner of his eyes evaporated instantly, leaving no evidence.
Chen Ling asked back: "You don't have anything? I didn't say anything."
Zhao Xunchang blew his beard and stared, still guilty, pretending not to hear, turned his head and continued to look at the incubator.
The chick tried hard to stand up, it was tenacious and tenacious, like a sapling that was blown down by the wind and wanted to stand upright, not afraid of any difficulties.
However, it overestimated itself. After a few failed attempts, it was tired, but it did not forget its instinct, opened its cute little beak, and made a very thin cry.
In the next second, the staff who stayed at the door of the breeding room and guarded the monitoring screen yelled, "The shell has broken!"
In the breeding room, two parent birds huddled in the nest, calling loudly.
From the surveillance video outside, it can be seen that the chick inside is much happier than the one in the incubator. It has parents who love it, and before it wakes up, it can already feel the warmth of its mother.
The broken eggshells were scattered in the nest, and chick No. [-] was lifted up by Xiaohong's beak.
And another male parrot has poked his head out, ready to look for food.
The chicks are just born, their stomachs are not fully developed, and they cannot digest food normally, so they can only eat liquid food.Then the female must look for food shortly after it is born, wait for the food to be digested into a paste in the stomach, and then through the contraction of the stomach, turn the thing out, and open its mouth to feed the chicks.
Such an important matter now, for some reason, fell on Xiao Lan who was supposed to join the feeding a week later.
But when it saw Chen Ling and Zhao Xunchang outside the glass, this arduous task was ranked No.2.
It was so happy, fluttering its wings, rubbing its head against the glass wall, wishing to take turns in the arms of the two breeders.
Qian Qing thought for a while, opened the door with a key, and let Chen Ling and Zhao Xunchang in.
The next second, Xiaolan rushed into the old man's arms, opened her mouth and shouted, "Yes, yes!"
With outsiders around, its performance has always been very reserved, and its usual loud voice has been hidden, so weak that only Chen Ling and Zhao Xunchang can hear it.
After a while, Xiao Lan threw herself into Chen Ling's arms again.
The little head rests on the left and right of the young man's neck, but it can't be enough.
On a tall and straight tree in the distance, there was a bird cry.
Xiaolan was finally willing to come out, and when she looked up, she saw Jiang Yu standing outside the glass wall.
One person and one bird looked at each other for a few seconds, provocatively, Xiaolan deliberately put its head back on the young man's neck, it is happy to have a baby today, and is not afraid of anyone!
It still remembered to get food for the child, and it only took a moment to get out of the young man's arms, and flew to the trough to peck at it desperately.
Zhao Xunchang patted his apprentice on the shoulder, "Let's go, it probably won't go back with us tonight."
As soon as the words were finished, the purple-blue parrot that was pecking suddenly turned its head and looked over.
Zhao Xunchang suddenly felt guilty of speaking ill of others behind his back.
Chen Ling said in a low voice: "It's so precise, it seems like I can really understand it."
Before Zhao Xunchang opened his mouth, Xiaolan suddenly squared his body sideways to the two of them, staring straight at them with her small eyes.
Chen Ling and Zhao Xunchang had a tacit understanding, neither moved nor spoke, until the parrot flew away, the two breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to hide his cold sweat from being scared by a small parrot, Zhao Xunchang turned around first, and said while walking, "Let's go."
Chen Ling followed closely, and when he was about to go out, he looked back and found that Xiao Lan was looking at the two of them.
After exiting, he stood in front of the monitoring screen.
Xiaolan had already retracted her head, and leaned her head next to the female's head, making small screams, which sounded like she was negotiating.
Chen Ling rubbed the center of his brows, feeling that he was thinking too much, and was about to lift his foot to leave, when he suddenly found that Xiaolan on the monitor opened his mouth and began to feed back into the young bird's mouth.
The baby bird was hungry and stretched its neck desperately for more.
Qian Qing suddenly said: "These two parrots are very healthy. They are big and strong. To be honest, I really think it's incredible. I thought that the young birds that were hatched for so long would be unhealthy."
Chen Li asked: "Then do you know why this happened?"
Qian Qing shook his head: "I don't know. Both male and female are purebred purple-blue macaws. Logically speaking, such abnormalities will not occur."
"Let's go." Zhao Xunchang interrupted the topic they were about to continue, and said casually, "As long as the chicks are healthy and free from diseases, there is no difference between species in nature and humans. Humans are born prematurely, and parrots cannot have late births." Is it!"
What the old man said was so reasonable, Qian Qing couldn't refute it, "Mr. Zhao is right."
Zhao Xunchang nodded, led his disciples out of the crowd, and suddenly heard a bang from behind.
At some point, the male parrot jumped in front of the glass wall and pecked vigorously.
Bang bang bang, bang bang bang, stubborn, anxious, afraid that Zhao Xunchang would drop it.
Qian Qing went to open the door, and it flew out immediately. Yiyi reluctantly glanced at the bird's nest on a tall tree in the breeding room, and commanded: "Go back, go back, go back."
I'm afraid people won't take it away.
Tang Siping was an eye-opener today. Not only did he see a rare bird breaking its shell, but he also saw a talking purple-blue macaw.
Thinking that the children at home should like it, he asked Chen Ling: "Where did you buy this, can you introduce it?"
Chen Ling glanced at him, "It belongs to the country, my master is just taking care of him."
Tang Siping: "Look at my brain, how can this kind of bird be fed privately." But in the future, I can bring Tongtong to watch it from time to time.
When they arrived at the parking lot, Zhao Xunchang got into Tang Siping's car due to the warm invitation of the other party.
Chen Ling was the same as when he came, sitting in Jiang Yu's co-pilot, holding a parrot in his arms that had been slightly heavy.
Not long after the car started, he noticed that Xiaolan was in a bad mood. He touched the bird's head and said, "Master will not want to hug you. It's because you are too heavy recently. He can't hold you anymore."
Recently, Xiaolan has a strong physique and has gained a lot of weight. She has exceeded the normal weight and reached 2 kg.
With a weight of four catties, it's okay to hug it once in a while. If it lasts for half an hour, Zhao Xunchang feels that his old arm will be tired.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ling accidentally revealed the cruel truth.
Xiaolan was so angry that she struggled desperately, her big wings spread out a full 1.5 meters, and the tip of the wings hit Jiang Yu's face directly.
Jiang Yu's nose was swept by the tip of the feather, and he sneezed on the spot.
In an instant, the young man on the co-pilot and the parrot in the young man's arms stopped moving.
Chen Ling pretended that he did not exist, and the parrot pretended that he was dead. It was definitely not the one that flapped its wings just now!
Jiang Yu stepped on the brake, picked up the parrot and threw it to the back seat, warning in a cold voice: "Stay still, don't move."
Xiaolan folded her wings obediently, her little heart beating wildly.
It always feels that if it makes a fuss again, it will end up full of bird feathers.
too frightening.
Chen Ling pretended to look at the scenery outside the window, hoping that Yu Bo would not touch him.
Fortunately, that sharp gaze was taken away after wandering around his face. After all, the old ancestor had to be more soft-hearted towards him.
The sense of privilege in the breeding base before was an illusion caused by the environment, but now, Chen Ling felt that he was really privileged here in Jiangyu.
Jiang Yu's connivance made him feel pampered.
This is very different from what your parents give you.
The favor of his parents made him feel warm.
But Jiang Yu's favor made him want to smirk, his heart seemed to be filled with a handful of hot spring water, overflowing with hot air, which could easily move his blood and make him restless.
Jiang Yu suddenly hooked his lips, and looked sideways at the young man, "Looks good?"
Chen Ling snapped back to his senses, and found that he had turned his head unknowingly, staring at his ancestor's face bewilderedly.
He cleared his throat, not letting the other party gain the upper hand, nodded honestly, and said, "You look good, I've never seen you so pretty."
The smile on Jiang Yu's lips deepened, "Don't worry, take your time, anyway, it will be yours from now on."
Chen Ling found that he couldn't talk to this person all the time, so he panicked, wishing he could jump over and bite him!
At this time, the parrot, which was as quiet as a chicken, suddenly shouted: "Master, Master!"
Chen Ling immediately sat up straight.
Under the command of Zhao Xunchang, Tang Siping's car easily overtook the car in front.
With a dark face, Zhao Xunchang rolled down the window and shouted angrily: "What kind of foreign workers are you touching in front! The speed of the car is as slow as a snail, hurry up, hurry up!"
Only then did Chen Ling look at the speedometer, thinking that the old ancestor's driving skills were amazing, and he drove the luxury car at a speed of [-] mph!
Jiang Yu said frankly, "I want to be alone with you for a while."
Because of the appearance of Zhao Xunchang, the macaw in the back row straightened up suddenly, not afraid of anything, and shouted: "Don't be ashamed, don't be ashamed, old things are not ashamed!"
Jiang Yu: "..."
Chen Ling looked at Xiaolan in astonishment, this is the guts of a bear!
Zhao Xunchang didn't expect that his muttering would be learned by the parrot. He shook his body, closed the window in a hurry, and instructed Tang Siping to overtake the car quickly.
If you don't exceed your life, you will be gone!
Tang Siping originally planned to organize the planting area of Sifang Mountain and sell it together with the business, but now that there is that Bougainvillea plant, he refuses to sell it no matter what.
He also made a moving request: "Master Chen, if the bougainvillea is still there after I die, can it be transplanted into the cemetery? I can spend an extra dollar to buy the cemetery."
Chen Ling felt that this person was going to be dazed, "Let's talk about it in detail then."
Tang Siping held the cup and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, let the children handle the things behind. I really think too long-term now."
"Is Tongtong okay now?" After hearing that Tang Siping didn't want to leave Sifang Mountain, Chen Ling was a little worried, "If you don't want to leave Sifang Mountain, what will Tongtong do? Will he be afraid?"
After all, he was in the cabinet of that villa, and seeing his mother being killed with his own eyes, he was so frightened that he refused to speak, and hid everywhere at night, which shows how much psychological shadow there is.
Tang Siping was stunned for a moment, and finally put a smile on his lonely face: "Master Chen, you don't know, after you left that day, he opened his mouth and called me Dad!"
Just thinking about it makes me want to cry.
"I originally planned to leave here because I had a child, but in the past few days, he seems to have forgotten the past, and he still grabbed me to find my mother." Tang Siping lowered his eyebrows and rubbed his fingers on the rim of the cup, "I asked him what he wanted He didn't want to change his life in another place, he shook his head and said no, saying that if we left, my mother wouldn't be able to find us when she came back..."
Children's words are always the most direct and cruel.
Every time Tang Siping heard it, he felt his heart being seized, and the pain made him want to cry out, but he dared not show his intense emotions in front of the child.
He has many friends, from all corners of the country, including wine and meat friends, as well as lifelong friends.

Tang Siping said: "Some of them have left, and some of them have been left with high salaries. I will go to other places to recruit some people."
Zhao Xunchang came in at this time.
He was led by the waiter to knock on the door, and the moment he saw his little apprentice through the crack of the door, he burst into smiles.
Chen Ling called Master, stood up and pulled the stool away for the old man.
Tang Siping got up quickly, pressed the shirt on his stomach with one hand, and stretched it with the other, "Mr. Zhao, I am Tang Siping. I work in greening. It's a pleasure to meet you."
As soon as Zhao Xunchang's butt touched the seat, he also stood up after hearing the words, holding each other's hand and shaking it up and down like a kind uncle.
"Where is there, I want to thank you for taking care of my little apprentice's business."
"You're too polite, it's Chen..." The master's master is here, so Tang Siping changed his words, "I should thank Mr. Chen. Without him, how could I sit here safe and sound."
Hearing the other party praise the young apprentice, Zhao Xunchang immediately lost his humility, let go of his hands, sat down, nodded and said: "This is what he should do."
Chen Lingxin said that it should be done, or that he took the money. He left in a hurry that day, and both parties were busy afterwards, so they didn't communicate much.

Zhao Xunchang listened to Tang Siping's words with one ear, and paid attention to the communication between the young apprentice and the old man with the other ear, so that his nose was almost crooked.
To dare to flirt so blatantly in front of an adult is outrageous and shameless.

"Sister Qian, what about the other one?" Chen Ling was also very excited, the parrot egg had been hatching for a long time, and the shell was finally about to break.
"The situation of the other parrot is not very clear. The female and male parrots are all crowded in the bird's nest, blocking the camera." Qian Qing was quite speechless. Normally, after the two parrots met for a while, the male It will fly out to the feeding trough at the door to give something to the female.
Not today, like a brave little guard, doing his duty.
Chen Ling said: "Master and I will come right away!"
When the little apprentice hung up the phone, the boss of Zhao Xunchang snatched the phone unhappily, and put it in his pocket, "I wanted to give you a surprise, this Qian Qing, ruined my good deed!"
"It's enough to surprise me now that I know." Chen Ling took his clothes, dragged Zhao Xunchang and walked out impatiently.
Jiang Yu had long legs and was not in a hurry, so he didn't lag behind.
When Tang Siping caught up with his suit jacket, Jiang Yu had already bought the order.
He was quite embarrassed: "How can I ask you to invite me?"
"It's all the same." Jiang Yu signaled Tang Siping to follow, "We have to go to the breeding base first."
What breeding base?
Tang Siping was full of doubts, until he found out that it was a bird breeding base next to the wildlife park.
He parked the car, followed, and saw that Master Chen and his master walked with ease, so he knew without guessing that these two people must be regular visitors here.
After Qian Qing received the news that the two had arrived, she waited at the door of her office. When she saw someone, she immediately waved vigorously: "This way, let's go to the incubator."
The hatching room is not in the same place as the breeding room. It takes two more turns to get there after passing through the long corridor.
So far, the base in Beicheng has not successfully hatched macaws, let alone successfully bred them.After the news got out today, everyone in the institute came to watch.
But when Zhao Xunchang and others arrived, they let out the tightly surrounded door to make it easier for people to pass by.
Being stared at by pairs of eyes, Chen Ling was quite embarrassed, feeling like he was being privileged.
Zhao Xunchang was very helpful, and even taught him, "Don't be so thin-skinned, you are going to see your little nephew, they should give way!"
When Chen Ling heard it, oh my god, I am actually a senior!
In a good mood, I walked faster and faster.
Jiang Yu and Tang Siping were completely in the light of the two people in front, followed behind unimpeded, and entered the incubation room.
Inside the incubator is a warm yellow light, and in the middle is a small artificial bird's nest.
In the center of the nest, there is a white egg crooked.
The egg was bigger than an egg, and the shell had been cracked, and the shell might break at any time.
Qian Qing held the camera in his hand, and while taking pictures, he was still talking leisurely: "Our parrot eggs this time, both in egg laying time and hatching time, are longer than normal. But according to the monitoring map Look, the size of the little parrot inside is also bigger than the normal time to hatch. At present, I can't say whether this is good or bad, and I will know when the little one comes out."
Click, a very subtle sound came from the small speaker connected to the incubator.
The round and full eggshell cracked again.
There is a stubborn little creature that is trying to use its body and head to push against the hard obstacles, eager to come out and see this new world.
Someone behind tiptoed to see this scene and shouted excitedly: "It's broken, it's broken, it's broken!"
The people next to him were also very excited, "This is the first one in the base, and I don't know how the other female hatched. If they can all hatch today, our base can boast about it for a year!"
"No, there is usually a seminar or something. Those bases are arrogant, their nostrils are all soaring to the sky, and they are not afraid of flashing their necks. Now it's all right, let's feel proud."
Amidst the chirping and chirping, the little thing inside the eggshell stretched out a foot.
For a moment, the audience was silent.
The paw was so small, but powerful, and the toe came out, and then the tiny leg, and then the other.
After the eggshell has a large breakthrough, it is much easier for the chick to break the shell.
The soft, flesh-colored little thing in between desperately freed its buttocks from the eggshell, then the short and weak wings, and finally the head.
It must have been exhausted, it sat down on the nest with its head hanging down, its feet and wings fluttered together, and it couldn't stand up no matter what.
Chen Ling was engrossed in watching, and under excitement, he grabbed Jiang Yu's hand behind him: "Look, you are hairy!"
There are hairs, but there are very few, and the sporadic milky white fluff sticks to the skin obediently, looking distressed and pitiful.
Jiang Yu was not interested in the bird, but only in the hand that was tightly clutching his own, so he gave a perfunctory "hmm".
In contrast, Zhao Xunchang is much calmer on the surface, and the ecstasy on the inside is no less than that of Chen Ling. When he raised Xiaolan, Xiaolan was almost five years old, and she was almost mature.
He had never seen such a cute and naive boy when he was young.
Now, he seemed to be able to see through the incubator the appearance of the chick's father just hatching, and he almost shed tears.
"Unexpectedly, Xiao Lan has already married a daughter-in-law to be her father. Time flies too fast." Zhao Xunchang was relieved, but sad.
The growth, maturity, and failure of any life are all linked to time. This reminds him of himself and his apprentice who accompanied him. He is already old, and Chen Ling's life has just begun, and he doesn't know that he can still survive. How long will you stay with him.
Chen Ling saw the water stains in the corners of Master's eyes, and was stunned.
He hugged Master's shoulders in a funny way, and handed over a tissue, "Master, there are so many people."
"I didn't!" Zhao Xunchang roared, the water in the corner of his eyes evaporated instantly, leaving no evidence.
Chen Ling asked back: "You don't have anything? I didn't say anything."
Zhao Xunchang blew his beard and stared, still guilty, pretending not to hear, turned his head and continued to look at the incubator.
The chick tried hard to stand up, it was tenacious and tenacious, like a sapling that was blown down by the wind and wanted to stand upright, not afraid of any difficulties.
However, it overestimated itself. After a few failed attempts, it was tired, but it did not forget its instinct, opened its cute little beak, and made a very thin cry.
In the next second, the staff who stayed at the door of the breeding room and guarded the monitoring screen yelled, "The shell has broken!"
In the breeding room, two parent birds huddled in the nest, calling loudly.
From the surveillance video outside, it can be seen that the chick inside is much happier than the one in the incubator. It has parents who love it, and before it wakes up, it can already feel the warmth of its mother.
The broken eggshells were scattered in the nest, and chick No. [-] was lifted up by Xiaohong's beak.
And another male parrot has poked his head out, ready to look for food.
The chicks are just born, their stomachs are not fully developed, and they cannot digest food normally, so they can only eat liquid food.Then the female must look for food shortly after it is born, wait for the food to be digested into a paste in the stomach, and then through the contraction of the stomach, turn the thing out, and open its mouth to feed the chicks.
Such an important matter now, for some reason, fell on Xiao Lan who was supposed to join the feeding a week later.
But when it saw Chen Ling and Zhao Xunchang outside the glass, this arduous task was ranked No.2.
It was so happy, fluttering its wings, rubbing its head against the glass wall, wishing to take turns in the arms of the two breeders.
Qian Qing thought for a while, opened the door with a key, and let Chen Ling and Zhao Xunchang in.
The next second, Xiaolan rushed into the old man's arms, opened her mouth and shouted, "Yes, yes!"
With outsiders around, its performance has always been very reserved, and its usual loud voice has been hidden, so weak that only Chen Ling and Zhao Xunchang can hear it.
After a while, Xiao Lan threw herself into Chen Ling's arms again.
The little head rests on the left and right of the young man's neck, but it can't be enough.
On a tall and straight tree in the distance, there was a bird cry.
Xiaolan was finally willing to come out, and when she looked up, she saw Jiang Yu standing outside the glass wall.
One person and one bird looked at each other for a few seconds, provocatively, Xiaolan deliberately put its head back on the young man's neck, it is happy to have a baby today, and is not afraid of anyone!
It still remembered to get food for the child, and it only took a moment to get out of the young man's arms, and flew to the trough to peck at it desperately.
Zhao Xunchang patted his apprentice on the shoulder, "Let's go, it probably won't go back with us tonight."
As soon as the words were finished, the purple-blue parrot that was pecking suddenly turned its head and looked over.
Zhao Xunchang suddenly felt guilty of speaking ill of others behind his back.
Chen Ling said in a low voice: "It's so precise, it seems like I can really understand it."
Before Zhao Xunchang opened his mouth, Xiaolan suddenly squared his body sideways to the two of them, staring straight at them with her small eyes.
Chen Ling and Zhao Xunchang had a tacit understanding, neither moved nor spoke, until the parrot flew away, the two breathed a sigh of relief.
In order to hide his cold sweat from being scared by a small parrot, Zhao Xunchang turned around first, and said while walking, "Let's go."
Chen Ling followed closely, and when he was about to go out, he looked back and found that Xiao Lan was looking at the two of them.
After exiting, he stood in front of the monitoring screen.
Xiaolan had already retracted her head, and leaned her head next to the female's head, making small screams, which sounded like she was negotiating.
Chen Ling rubbed the center of his brows, feeling that he was thinking too much, and was about to lift his foot to leave, when he suddenly found that Xiaolan on the monitor opened his mouth and began to feed back into the young bird's mouth.
The baby bird was hungry and stretched its neck desperately for more.
Qian Qing suddenly said: "These two parrots are very healthy. They are big and strong. To be honest, I really think it's incredible. I thought that the young birds that were hatched for so long would be unhealthy."
Chen Li asked: "Then do you know why this happened?"
Qian Qing shook his head: "I don't know. Both male and female are purebred purple-blue macaws. Logically speaking, such abnormalities will not occur."
"Let's go." Zhao Xunchang interrupted the topic they were about to continue, and said casually, "As long as the chicks are healthy and free from diseases, there is no difference between species in nature and humans. Humans are born prematurely, and parrots cannot have late births." Is it!"
What the old man said was so reasonable, Qian Qing couldn't refute it, "Mr. Zhao is right."
Zhao Xunchang nodded, led his disciples out of the crowd, and suddenly heard a bang from behind.
At some point, the male parrot jumped in front of the glass wall and pecked vigorously.
Bang bang bang, bang bang bang, stubborn, anxious, afraid that Zhao Xunchang would drop it.
Qian Qing went to open the door, and it flew out immediately. Yiyi reluctantly glanced at the bird's nest on a tall tree in the breeding room, and commanded: "Go back, go back, go back."
I'm afraid people won't take it away.
Tang Siping was an eye-opener today. Not only did he see a rare bird breaking its shell, but he also saw a talking purple-blue macaw.
Thinking that the children at home should like it, he asked Chen Ling: "Where did you buy this, can you introduce it?"
Chen Ling glanced at him, "It belongs to the country, my master is just taking care of him."
Tang Siping: "Look at my brain, how can this kind of bird be fed privately." But in the future, I can bring Tongtong to watch it from time to time.
When they arrived at the parking lot, Zhao Xunchang got into Tang Siping's car due to the warm invitation of the other party.
Chen Ling was the same as when he came, sitting in Jiang Yu's co-pilot, holding a parrot in his arms that had been slightly heavy.
Not long after the car started, he noticed that Xiaolan was in a bad mood. He touched the bird's head and said, "Master will not want to hug you. It's because you are too heavy recently. He can't hold you anymore."
Recently, Xiaolan has a strong physique and has gained a lot of weight. She has exceeded the normal weight and reached 2 kg.
With a weight of four catties, it's okay to hug it once in a while. If it lasts for half an hour, Zhao Xunchang feels that his old arm will be tired.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ling accidentally revealed the cruel truth.
Xiaolan was so angry that she struggled desperately, her big wings spread out a full 1.5 meters, and the tip of the wings hit Jiang Yu's face directly.
Jiang Yu's nose was swept by the tip of the feather, and he sneezed on the spot.
In an instant, the young man on the co-pilot and the parrot in the young man's arms stopped moving.
Chen Ling pretended that he did not exist, and the parrot pretended that he was dead. It was definitely not the one that flapped its wings just now!
Jiang Yu stepped on the brake, picked up the parrot and threw it to the back seat, warning in a cold voice: "Stay still, don't move."
Xiaolan folded her wings obediently, her little heart beating wildly.
It always feels that if it makes a fuss again, it will end up full of bird feathers.
too frightening.
Chen Ling pretended to look at the scenery outside the window, hoping that Yu Bo would not touch him.
Fortunately, that sharp gaze was taken away after wandering around his face. After all, the old ancestor had to be more soft-hearted towards him.
The sense of privilege in the breeding base before was an illusion caused by the environment, but now, Chen Ling felt that he was really privileged here in Jiangyu.
Jiang Yu's connivance made him feel pampered.
This is very different from what your parents give you.
The favor of his parents made him feel warm.
But Jiang Yu's favor made him want to smirk, his heart seemed to be filled with a handful of hot spring water, overflowing with hot air, which could easily move his blood and make him restless.
Jiang Yu suddenly hooked his lips, and looked sideways at the young man, "Looks good?"
Chen Ling snapped back to his senses, and found that he had turned his head unknowingly, staring at his ancestor's face bewilderedly.
He cleared his throat, not letting the other party gain the upper hand, nodded honestly, and said, "You look good, I've never seen you so pretty."
The smile on Jiang Yu's lips deepened, "Don't worry, take your time, anyway, it will be yours from now on."
Chen Ling found that he couldn't talk to this person all the time, so he panicked, wishing he could jump over and bite him!
At this time, the parrot, which was as quiet as a chicken, suddenly shouted: "Master, Master!"
Chen Ling immediately sat up straight.
Under the command of Zhao Xunchang, Tang Siping's car easily overtook the car in front.
With a dark face, Zhao Xunchang rolled down the window and shouted angrily: "What kind of foreign workers are you touching in front! The speed of the car is as slow as a snail, hurry up, hurry up!"
Only then did Chen Ling look at the speedometer, thinking that the old ancestor's driving skills were amazing, and he drove the luxury car at a speed of [-] mph!
Jiang Yu said frankly, "I want to be alone with you for a while."
Because of the appearance of Zhao Xunchang, the macaw in the back row straightened up suddenly, not afraid of anything, and shouted: "Don't be ashamed, don't be ashamed, old things are not ashamed!"
Jiang Yu: "..."
Chen Ling looked at Xiaolan in astonishment, this is the guts of a bear!
Zhao Xunchang didn't expect that his muttering would be learned by the parrot. He shook his body, closed the window in a hurry, and instructed Tang Siping to overtake the car quickly.
If you don't exceed your life, you will be gone!
