Chapter 33 Friends

Chen Alu said bluntly, "My mother always said that good people will be rewarded. If my sister is a good person, she will be rewarded with good things."

Chen Dabao even complained to Chen Afu, "Why didn't you keep the little bird for a little longer? Dabao didn't even see it. It's such a pity."

The golden swallow came back before dark on the third day, and brought two birds back with it. Both birds are large and have hook-like beaks. The bright-colored one is about ten centimeters long, and the gray one is about thirty centimeters long.

Chen Afu and his family were sitting on the Kang eating when they suddenly saw three birds swooping down on the open window lattice of his home. One of the birds was a golden swallow. However, at this time, the golden color of its mouth, chest, and belly is much lighter than in space, and it is light yellow.

Chen Afu smiled and stretched out her hand. The golden swallow jumped onto her hand and said, "Mommy, they are the smartest birds in the forest, and they are my new best friends."

Of course, only Chen Afu could understand this. What those few people heard was the chirping sound of the little swallow.

Chen Afu smiled and said to them, "This is the bird that pecked the two scoundrels that day. It came back to see me again."

The family was first attracted by the two big birds. After listening to Chen Afu's words, they all looked at the golden swallows in surprise to express their welcome. Alu and Dabao sat over excitedly and said words of gratitude to Jin Yanzi.

Dabao also said, "What a handsome swallow, even more handsome than those swallows. Just don't leave and stay at my house, okay? There is a swallow's nest under the eaves of my house, and they come back to live every night. You can make a nest like that, too." Just stay and don’t leave.”

The young lady thought she was being hospitable, but she was offended by Jin Yanzi. It chirped, "I live in a beautiful little gold house, who lives in that mud house?"

Dabao couldn't understand what it said, but he smiled happily and said, "The little swallow is screaming at me. It must have accepted my invitation and will live in our house from now on."

Jin Yanzi rolled her eyes at the little kid, ignored him, and said to Chen Afu, "Mommy, these two friends of mine are very good. Just keep them here to keep me company. Spring and summer." , I will live outside and play with them most of the time, and mommy will prepare several beautiful nests for them and me. Note that we cannot live in that kind of mud house."

After hearing this, Chen Afu put the golden swallow on the kang and spread her hands towards the two birds. They cleverly jumped on her hand and called her "quack" several times. Although the voice is ugly, it is really smart. The brightly colored bird weighs about half a pound, and the gray bird weighs about a pound.

Chen Afu likes animals and is so happy to see them. He also counted the colors of the big flowered bird and said with a smile, "This bird has seven colors, let's call it Qiqi from now on. This kind of bird is all gray except for its tail, let's call it Huihui."

The two birds expressed confusion, and the golden swallow called at them several times. They seemed to understand and barked twice more.

Dabao said again, "Mom, these two birds have names, but the little swallow doesn't have a name yet."

Chen Afu smiled and said, "Call it Jinbao. As soon as you hear it, it will be like a brother to Dabao."

Dabao was even more happy after hearing this and grabbed his "little brother" and refused to let go. The little hands were neither light nor heavy, and they were so ravaged that Jin Yanzi rolled her eyes.

The whole family had no intention of eating. Alu and Dabao teased the three birds and generously grabbed a handful of brown rice to feed them. Qiqi and Huihui ate, and even the golden swallows were eaten. Ms. Wang exclaimed that it was unbelievable that swallows only eat insects and moths, and they only eat live ones, but this swallow actually ate grain.

Chen Ming smiled and said, "This swallow must be different from ordinary swallows, otherwise how could it peck a hole in a person's face?"

Chen Afu was thinking about what kind of nest he should make for them. It was too simple, but his luxurious home did not have such conditions.

She saw the half-finished sewing basket beside the kang and had an idea. He got up and went to the east room to get three ready-made sewing baskets, and asked the three birds, "How is it? Is this nest beautiful enough?"

Qiqi and Huihui liked it very much when they saw it. It was much prettier than the nest they used to live in. Jin Yanzi reluctantly accepted it and said, "Although it's a bit rough, it's still pretty fancy, so I'll give it a try."

Chen Afu was afraid that their defecation would make the inside dirty and difficult to clean, so he put some broken wheat straw at the bottom of the basket and spread a layer of coarse cloth on top of the straw.

Before going to bed at night, Qiqi and Huihui not only learned to say their own names, but also learned to call them "Jinbao, Dabao, uncle, mother, grandma, grandpa".

Everyone was very happy, and they all said that these two birds were indeed rare smart birds, and they learned so many words in one night.

Chen Ming also understood what kind of birds these two were, "They must be parrots, but I don't know what kind of parrots they are."

Chen Afu has long recognized that they are parrots. Hui Hui seems to be the gray parrot mentioned in the previous life, and Qi Qi looks like a macaw, but not exactly the same. The macaw is much larger. I don’t know if it’s because the parrot hasn’t grown up yet, or if it’s another unknown species.

Chen Ming was afraid of the noise, so when he slept, he took all three bird baskets to the east room.

Except for Jin Yanzi, Qiqi and Huihui went to bed very late after arguing. Their voices are loud, their throats are like broken gongs, they have strong penetrating power, and their "quacking" sounds can make people panic. Chen Afu was so annoyed that he was so happy that he didn't want to sleep in the middle of the night. He just looked at the bird basket and was very happy. After being slapped on the butt by Chen Afu, he lay down with his mouth raised and fell asleep.

At dawn, Chen Afu's family was awakened by Qiqi and Huihui again.

In the morning, Chen Ming didn't get up. He heard from Wang that he hadn't slept well all night and was feeling a little bad again.

Chen Afu asked Dabao to take Qiqi and Huihui to the backyard to play without disturbing grandpa.

She secretly discussed with Jin Yanzi, "My father got sick because of the noise made by your friends. The doctor said that bird's nest is best for people with lung disease. Can you give him some bird's nest? Otherwise, my family dare not keep your friends anymore. They are too noisy and my father can't stand it."

Jin Yanzi said softly, "Mommy, even if you don't tell me, I will give my grandfather bird's nest." She said proudly, "The bird's nest I build is very different from those made by swallows. It is called fragrant bird's nest. It can not only strengthen the body and prolong life, but also cure many difficult and complicated diseases, including tuberculosis."

After hearing this, Chen Afu's heart was about to jump out of his chest with excitement. That bird's nest was really a treasure.

Seeing Chen Afu's money-grubbing look, Jin Yanzi reminded him, "Everything on that tree is mine. I am the only one who has the right to control it. Mommy, don't touch it."

Chen Afu nodded repeatedly, put it in her hand, and said along the feathers on its back, "Jin Baoer, I am your mommy, and I have the moral character of not touching my son's things. Hurry up and get some bird's nest out so I can cook it for my dad."
