Chapter 74 New Member
Liu Wangxue went to wash her face first, then went to the sun room to see what kind of tea she would drink later.
As I was thinking about it, my cell phone rang. It was the orchard's customer service calling.
The customer service said that their leader didn't know about the little parrot, but since the tourist brought it up, they did some investigation.
It’s true that no one can accurately tell the origins of this parrot, but its behavior is indeed consistent with the results of artificial breeding.
"The leader replied that it is difficult for a captive parrot to survive in the wild," the customer service said. "If you are willing to adopt it, we would be very grateful. But if the original owner of the parrot comes to you later, please go and negotiate in person."
Liu Wangxue understood. What it meant was that the orchard had no control over the little parrot's stay or departure. She could keep it if she wanted to, but if someone came to her and caused a dispute later, it would have nothing to do with their orchard.
Liu Wangxue was quite satisfied with this reply. As for whether the original owner could be found or not, he would just wait until he found the original owner.
During this period, it was impossible for her to ignore a little life that had already entered her home.
Liu Wangxue was in a good mood and immediately chose Tibetan snow tea. It has a refreshing taste, slightly bitter at first, but strong aftertaste.
She took out a set of tea sets from the cabinet under the tea table. The material of this set was high borosilicate glass, and she chose transparent, colorless and patternless one.
She likes to watch the tea leaves gradually expand in hot water, and always feels that this is another kind of blooming of life. With the passage of time and the number of times it is brewed, the tea soup changes from light to strong and then from strong to light, just like life from a blank sheet of paper to rich colors and then from rich colors to light.
Liu Wangxue bought bottled mountain spring water specially. After boiling it, he first washed the tea set. Then he added an appropriate amount of snow tea to the teapot, filling it up to one-third with water. After letting it sit for a few seconds, he drained the water and poured it out. Then he poured water in at a high speed to make the tea leaves swirl fully. When the water was filled to eight-tenths, he simmered it for a while and it was ready to drink.
The small cup is made of double-layer glass, apple-shaped, with a shape inside. When you pour tea into it, it looks like an upside-down mountain.
As soon as the tea was brewed, Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai arrived, along with Shen Nian'an, Youyou and Jinghe.
Shen Nian'an looked around the courtyard inconspicuously. There was not much decoration, but its simplicity gave people a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
As soon as Youyou came in, she rushed to Xiaoci who was sitting on the sofa and hugged the cat for a long time. Xiaoci was interrupted from watching the show, but she didn't lose her temper and let him rub her.
Jinghe likes to touch things, so he stands next to Youyou and stretches out his hand to touch its head.
As soon as the little parrot saw people coming, it immediately stopped playing and flew up to greet everyone one by one, and would not stop until it got a response.
Xu Qingsong complained: "Is it frustrated or forgetful? No matter how many times I see it today, it's always the first time, right?"
Du Yunkai smiled and said: "It can be understood as the established procedure for the operation of the system."
After the four of them sat down, Shen Nian'an explained his purpose. He brought Youyou to apologize.
Originally, Shen Nian'an didn't know that the little parrot followed Liu Wangxue home, but in the afternoon, Jinghe took Youyou to play in the living room, and Youyou suddenly pulled him and said she wanted to see the little parrot.
The kid thought he couldn't hear it in the study, so he didn't whisper to Jinghe, but he heard it when he opened the door and came out to get some water.
When Youyou saw him, she immediately lowered her head guiltily and pretended to eat snacks seriously.
Shen Nian'an sat on the sofa: "Little Youzi, tell Daddy what's going on?"
Youyou smiled sweetly and handed the pistachios that Jinghe had peeled for him to Shen Nian'an's mouth: "Dad, you eat it, brother peeled it for me."
Shen Nian'an refused to eat, and after asking again, Youyou said, "Dad, I, um, this is a secret between me, Pengpeng, and Xiaoci."
Jinghe suddenly realized: "So, this is the secret you wanted to tell me in the car yesterday?"
Youyou nodded.
Shen Nian'an said, "Baby, now that everyone knows, it's no longer a secret. Come on, tell Daddy what's going on."
After Youyou finished explaining what happened, she expressed her own opinion: "Dad, I think, I think the little parrot also wants to have a home. Pengpeng has a home, Xiaoci has a home, and they want to take the little parrot home."
Shen Nian'an held his forehead, but he still wanted to protect the child's innocence: "Well, you are right. When we have the ability, we should help stray animals and find a home for them. But——"
Shen Nian'an changed the subject and said, "We have to ask the owner of this house first. The owner must agree to keep it. If the owner doesn't want to, your self-determination will cause trouble to him."
Youyou was very confident: "Sister will definitely be willing to raise one! She has dogs and cats, so she will definitely be willing to raise a parrot too!"
Shen Nian'an touched his face and said, "Then let's go see the little parrot later."
Youyou was so happy: "Dad, I love you!"
Shen Nian'an recounted to Liu Wangxue the entire process of the two "stowaway" little parrots that Youyou witnessed with her own eyes.
Liu Wangxue was not surprised at all: "I guessed it right!"
Shen Nian'an apologized to Liu Wangxue, "I'm so sorry. I'm just a kid and I'm sorry for causing you trouble. If..."
He thought that if Liu Wangxue didn't want to keep the parrot, he would help it find a new owner.
But Liu Wangxue interrupted him and said with a smile: "It's nothing, Brother Shen, don't worry about it, I was planning to raise a little parrot.
My dad likes it, but he and my mom have to go back to their hometown for something, so I thought I would buy it when I come back. Now that I have come across it, it is also a kind of fate. And I have already communicated with the orchard, and this little parrot will be in my home from now on. "
Youyou was surprised when she heard it: "Really?"
Liu Wangxue nodded affirmatively.
"Yeah! That's great!" Youyou cheered.
After getting Liu Wangxue's permission, Youyou took out the nuts and fed them to the little parrot.
Before coming, he said he wanted to give the little parrot a gift, and Shen Nian'an helped him pick out the ones that did not contain any seasoning or additives.
When I was unpacking the package, the little parrot heard the noise, flew over, landed on the armrest of the sofa chair, and tilted its head to look.
Youyou took one and put it in the small bowl that Liu Wangxue specially prepared for the little parrot, then handed it to it for it to eat.
The little parrot was not polite at all. It lowered its head and used its sharp beak to crack the nuts into pieces, then ate them bit by bit.
Liu Wangxue reminded Youyou not to feed too much.
When Peng Peng and Xiao Ci saw the little parrot had some snacks, they immediately refused to eat and pestered Liu Wangxue for more. Liu Wangxue had no choice but to take the snacks for them and asked Jinghe to help feed them.
The two children focused on the small animals, while the four adults drank tea and chatted together.
Xu Qingsong asked Liu Wangxue: "What did the orchard say?"
Liu Wangxue repeated what the customer service said. We are all adults, so who wouldn't understand the hidden meaning?
Du Yunkai said: "I don't think anyone would come looking for someone in this situation. After all, it's been so long, if anyone wanted to find someone, they would have already done so."
Xu Qingsong nodded: "So you can rest assured and take care of it."
Shen Nian'an asked with a smile: "Since our Youyou is also one of the accomplices of the 'smuggling', can I apply to participate in the breeding operation?"
Youyou immediately raised her hand when she saw the little parrot eating nuts: "I want one too! I want one too!"
Xu Qingsong picked up his phone and said, "Come, let's take a group photo. I'll post it in the group as a souvenir. From now on, we'll all be pet owners."
