The little man on the apex

Yuan Xi picked up a large handful of plump rice and was about to feed it to the chick, when Yan Heyi saw this and hurriedly stopped her: "The rice grains are bigger than the chick's mouth, I'm afraid they won't be able to eat it."

Looking at the rice in his hand, Yuan Xi also felt that something was wrong: "How about feeding some yellow rice?"

Yan Heyi had never fed the chicks, so she was a little uncertain, so she asked Yuanxi to ask Aunt Gu.

After asking, I found out that chickens that have just hatched cannot be fed for the first two days.

Two days later, feed some warm water first, the water must be clean, and it is best to dissolve some sucrose in it.

After the meconium in the body is cleaned up, you can start eating.

Opening food is the chicken's first time eating. Yuanxi attaches great importance to it, and got into the kitchen early in the morning, peeled off the egg that Yan Heyi had boiled for him, and took out the yolk to grind it.

Aunt Gu said that the chick has no teeth yet, so it needs to mix some sand into the food.

Yuan Xi couldn't figure out why chickens could eat sand, so he argued with Aunt Gu, and finally decided to grab a handful of millet, grind it into small particles, and mix it in to replace the role of sand.

After about seven days, you can feed some finely chopped green vegetables and soaked millet.

It takes about ten days for a chick to come out of the eggshell and eat alone.

During these ten days, in addition to feeding water in time, we should also pay attention to keeping the chicks warm. When the sun is good, we should move them out to bask in the sun to increase appetite and promote growth.

But the time of basking in the sun should not be too long. After a period of time, a cover should be used to block the light for the chicks, so that they can get a moderate rest, so as to facilitate digestion, promote weight gain and molt.

In addition, baby chickens are very afraid of being alone and need other chickens to accompany them. However, Yuanxi has seven chicks cuddling with each other, so there is no such concern.

The chicken coop is in the yard, and even though Yan Heyi has laid thick and soft straw, it will still be a little cold at night, but keeping them in the earthen pot all the time, they are really restrained.

Yan Heyi rummaged around in the side room for a long time, and found a big bamboo basket. This bamboo basket was very deep, standing up to Yuan Xi's thigh, and the inside was spacious enough for the chickens to run around.

For the past ten days, Yuan Xi has been close to the little chicken almost every step of the way. Halfway through the meal, he has to go over with a bowl to take a look.

If he carried the bamboo basket back and forth to the private school, he was afraid that the chicken would be frightened, and he was worried about entrusting the chicken to Aunt Gu's care, so he simply pestered Yan Heyi and begged for a ten-day vacation to stay at home Take care of these little chicks.

For many years in the past, Yan Heyi went to the private school alone, and she didn't feel lonely, but in the first few days when Yuan Xi came here, she secretly disliked him for being too noisy on the road.

But after these days, the noise suddenly disappeared, and Yan Heyi was not used to it anymore. When walking to and from school, she always felt that there was someone pestering her around.

After reacting, it is inevitable to lose.

He began to wonder how he spent the long and boring years before.

In contrast, it was really lonely before.

What is the little ancestor doing at home?

The wind was blowing under Yan Heyi's feet, and she lost her usual desire to enjoy the flowers and plants on the roadside leisurely.

The little ancestor Yuanxi pouted his buttocks in the yard, leaning half of his body into the bamboo basket, teasing his seven little ancestors.

Yan Heyi felt a little unhappy, and didn't want to talk to him at first, but for some reason, as if she wanted to compete for favor, she went over and patted Yuan Xi on the shoulder, and stuffed a warm little cloth bag into his arms.

"Today, Uncle Feng made jujube nests in the cafeteria. I specially left two for you to warm on the stove. They are still hot."

Yan Heyi didn't say that when she was on the road, she covered her chest with the small cloth bag containing jujube flower nests. Although it wasn't very hot, it was already red.

Yuan Xi opened the small cloth bag, first handed one to Yan Heyi, then took another jujube flower nest, took a big bite, and praised: "It's delicious, it's still hot, brother, you are so kind."

When saying this, Yuan Xi kept his eyes bent as usual, and his teeth were properly exposed when he smiled, but Yan Heyi always felt that he was not as sincere as before.

There was a hint of absent-mindedness.

Not getting the expected reaction, Yan Heyi resentfully went to the kitchen to cook.

On the way back from school, Yan Heyi met Lao Li who was selling tofu and was stuffed with a large piece of dried incense in his hand.

Malantou is grown by myself behind the house, and you can go there whenever you want to eat, and pick a lot of fresh ones.

Boil a pot of water first, put the Malan head and dried incense into it and scald it.

Get some well water to cool the Malan head, squeeze out the water and cut it into sections. The freshly picked Malan head is very tender, so it is not necessary to cut it too short.

Cut the fragrant dried into square dices, mix with Malantou, add some oil, salt and garlic to taste and serve.

This mouthful of Malan head mixed with fragrant and dried is considered as a limited delicacy in spring. It is refreshing and refreshing, and the spring feeling lingers on the tip of the tongue.

That afternoon, Yan Heyi was still in the private school, and Yuan Xi was alone in the yard with the little chicken, suddenly remembered that he hadn't had time to show Zhou Ziyu, so he took the big bamboo basket and went to Zhou Ziyu's house.

Zhou Ziyu was sitting in his yard talking to Feng Wanlong, Yuan Xi felt that it was inconvenient, and was about to turn around and leave when the little chickens in the bamboo basket chirped away.

Hearing the sound, Zhou Ziyu turned his head to this side, saw that it was Yuan Xi, and rushed over to greet him: "Yuan Xi, your little chick has hatched!"

"one two Three......"

"All seven hatched? That's amazing!"

Zhou Ziyu squatted down and lay on the edge of the bamboo basket to look at the chick. Yuan Xi exchanged a glance with Feng Wanlong who was behind him, and looked away instantly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Perhaps Yuanxi and Feng Wanlong had a different aura. When they first met, they were warm and friendly, but later on they became more and more indifferent, and even disliked each other.

Feng Wanlong felt cold when he saw Yuan Xi coming to Zhou Ziyu, and Yuan Xi felt awkward seeing Feng Wanlong and Zhou Ziyu together.

But fortunately, Zhou Ziyu was in the middle to mediate.

Yuan Xi and Zhou Ziyu teased the chicks together, and Feng Wanlong sat and helped Zhou Ziyu pick beans, so there was no need for the two of them to talk.

The little chickens cried out happily, and Yuan Xi patiently introduced their names to Zhou Ziyu, as well as their differences.

Zhou Ziyu listened carefully, and he could quickly understand Yuan Xi's meaning, and he could find many other characteristics:

"The big baby always likes to rub against other little chickens, and has the biggest head, and walks unsteadily."

"Xiaoqi's cry is different from others, listen, isn't it extra shrill?"

The two of them could talk together, laughing and joking, Feng Wanlong raised his eyes to look over from time to time, frowning tightly, feeling that these two people were more annoying than those little chicks.

Suddenly, the little black dog in the yard barked a few times and ran towards the gate of the yard.

Several people looked up at the same time, and saw that Xiaoyue was coming, and there was a tall boy standing beside her.

"Wow! Chickie!"

Xiaoyue's eyes lit up, and she ran over, holding the bamboo basket to look at the little chickens.

The tall boy's skin was a bit dark, and his teeth looked particularly white when he smiled. He waved towards this side and said loudly, "Zi Yu! It's me!"

Zhou Ziyu was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Xiaojing?"

It was Zhao Jing who came.

Zhao Jing's family was poor. When he was ten years old, his parents gave birth to Xiaoyue, so they couldn't afford to support him. Just in time, the master carpenter in the town wanted to recruit apprentices, so he was sent there.

Later, when the master wanted to go back to his hometown to open a shop, he brought Zhao Jing with him, and he didn't go home for several years.

When he comes back this time, he will be regarded as a teacher, and he probably won't have to leave home again.

Zhao Jing put the big package in his hand on the ground, and walked towards Zhou Ziyu. Zhou Ziyu rushed to meet him, and looked at Zhao Jing in a circle.

"Xiaojing, why are you so tall?"

When we parted a few years ago, Zhao Jing was half a head shorter than Zhou Ziyu. Now that we meet again, Zhou Ziyu has to look up at Zhao Jing.

Yuan Xi thought that the "Xiao Jing" in Zhou Ziyu's mouth should be a white, tender and weak little brother, but the young man in front of him didn't match the word "Xiao" no matter how he looked at it.

Zhao Jing's height is comparable to Yan Heyi's, and his shoulders are much thicker than Yan Heyi's.

A short coat of coarse cloth outlines rough lines, his body is strong and well-proportioned, his skin is a bit dark, his facial features are very deep, he looks like a general who can go to the battlefield.

Zhao Jing patted Zhou Ziyu's shoulder, and said in a gentle voice, "Ziyu, you have grown a lot taller and more handsome."

Zhou Ziyu raised his head slightly, "Brother Ziyu! No big or small."

Although there was a big difference in body shape between the two, Zhao Jing stood beside Zhou Ziyu like a hill, but in terms of age, he was several months younger than Zhou Ziyu.

When he was young, Zhou Ziyu grew up early, Zhao Jing followed Zhou Ziyu every day, and Zhou Ziyu always liked to call "Xiaojing Xiaojing".

At this time, Feng Wanlong put down the beans in his hand and walked over here.

He grabbed Zhou Ziyu's shoulders, pulled him into his arms, and said with a slight smile:

"Are you Zhao Jing?"

"I haven't seen you for several years, and I don't even recognize you."

"I'm Feng Wanlong. We played together when we were young."

"Ziyu always mentions you, now that you're back, how many more days do you want to stay at home?"
