Extra Chapter: The Crown Prince Lays an Egg!
The atmosphere in Shan's family has been very tense lately. The family of five, along with two chicks, take turns watching over a nest of eggs in the incubator 24 hours a day, as well as the other chick sitting motionless on the eggs... a bright yellow one.
This little yellow chick, which has attracted much attention, is not even a year old yet. It is the only royal grandson of their royal chick family!
The eldest princess and prince of the royal family were very playful. Although they laid eggs one after another, they would leave them aside after laying them. Who would have thought that in the fourth year, they would suddenly have a whim and hatch an only daughter. The two pinkish-purple chicks underwent a genetic mutation and produced the "chick" that really looks like a chick.
If it weren't for the genetic testing that confirmed their two chicks did indeed carry the recessive yellow gene, meaning there was a very small chance they would hatch into yellow chicks, Tong Zhao would have seriously suspected that their eldest daughter and son had conspired to steal the eggs of some beautiful little bird.
Fortunately, he has pure blood and is indeed the genuine eldest grandson of the emperor!
The eldest grandson of the royal family is not only adorable, but also much more well-behaved and charming compared to his increasingly mischievous father and mother. As a result, he is deeply loved by the members of the royal family.
Not long ago, after the awards ceremony, Tong Zhao, now a movie star, finished her busy work and finally had some free time. After spending a sweet time with Mr. Shan, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, she took her husband and three chicks to visit Mr. Shan's family.
It's been a long time since I visited my maternal grandmother's house. The unreliable bird parents just fluttered around and went off to play by themselves, leaving their only daughter to Tong Zhao and Shan Song like irresponsible managers.
With a sigh, Shan Song held the docile little chick curled up in his palm, half asleep, and said to Tong Zhao, "How come its personality has changed so much due to this genetic mutation?"
"Yeah, it's so lazy!" Tong Zhao leaned over and poked the chick's head, remembering what the vet had said a few days ago, and said, "The vet said it's way overweight, let it go out and play too!"
Dan Song agreed. He could already see lipomas beckoning to his eldest grandson, who didn't exercise and ate a lot, staying indoors all day. The chicks couldn't be so unhealthy!
"Grandson, it's not that your royal grandfather doesn't love you. Be good, go and have some fun with your father and mother!"
Dansong raised his hand to help it take off.
The chick didn't move.
Dan Song shook his hand.
The chick "Xiaopeng Spreads Its Wings" twisted its wings and then retracted them.
"..."
It must have been spoiled when it was little.
When you become a "grandfather," you naturally feel a special bond with your grandchildren. Tong Zhao couldn't bring himself to scold the little bird, so he pointed to the distance and said, "There's an outdoor climbing frame and bird toys over there. Put them there."
The beloved eldest grandson of the emperor was reluctantly placed in the bird playground.
"Will this work?" Tong Zhao asked in a low voice.
"Probably... I guess." Shan Song wasn't sure either.
On the first day, as soon as they left, the chicks took advantage of their inattention and fluttered back into the house, squatting in their little nest and giving them innocent winks.
The next day, Shan Song and Tong Zhao watched the chick slowly crawl for ten minutes before carefully retreating. When they returned to the house, they found that the little thing had somehow sneaked into their hat and smuggled itself in with them.
On the third day, the chick, having received no punishment, completely let loose and went into its nest, refusing to come out.
"..."
Forget about exercise, I'll just have to modify the diet.
Just when they thought the exercise plan had failed, a few days later, their eldest grandson secretly slipped out on his own.
This lazy little chick... has it changed its personality?
Shan Song stared at the little yellow ball of fluff that was perched on a branch outdoors, chattering away, and smiled with satisfaction.
Unfortunately, our relief came too soon.
Since that day when they went out, their eldest grandson seemed to have fallen in love with outdoor activities for several days in a row. Although it was unclear whether he was flying low due to his weight and his distance was limited to the small courtyard behind the house, he was visibly much more lively.
Unfortunately, despite the increased exercise and improved food composition, the little chubby bird's weight remained unchanged.
Just as they were wondering, the chick that came back that day brought news that shocked the whole family: it had actually laid an egg!
Dan Song held the egg, which was no bigger than a one-yuan coin, in his palm, and looked at his only bird, which was not even a year old yet. The veins on his forehead throbbed.
Who the hell was that?! That worthless bird!!!
Since laying the eggs, his chicks haven't run out of the nest. They stay in the nest every day, incubating the eggs with much more dedication than their parents.
A few days later, the eldest grandson of the emperor laid several more eggs, which were all gathered under his wings for incubation.
The entire Shan family took great care, taking turns looking after the precious chicks and feeding them.
After more than half a month of incubation, the two bald chicks, who were eagerly waiting to be fed, hatched safely. Their eldest grandson had lost a lot of weight, but fortunately, his previous weight supported him, and with their careful care during this period, he seemed to be in good condition, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The royal chicks have a successor!
Before Shan Song and Tong Zhaohuang's grandfather status could even be properly established, their generational ranking increased again, and the Shan family suddenly became a "five-generation household".
We should celebrate properly no matter what.
At the dinner table, the conversation naturally revolved around the two new members of their family. Tong Zhao chatted with everyone, and as they talked, her eyes were drawn to the huge birdcage in the living room.
Speaking of which, the chicks have gone from a family of three to a family of five, and he and Shansong have been working hard for a month, but they haven't even seen a glimpse of the child yet...
"What are you thinking about?" Shan Song leaned closer to him from behind.
Tong Zhao glanced at her maternal grandparents and Aunt Yuan, who were not far away, and whispered, "Let's talk about it tonight."
Seeing his wife's unusually awkward expression in front of the family, Shan Song guessed what he was thinking. He took her hand under the table and said softly and gently, "Just let things take their course."
"Hmm." Tong Zhao quickly looked up, glancing around. She felt even more uncomfortable talking about this in front of everyone.
Shan Song gently stroked Tong Zhao's hand, then looked up and greeted everyone: "Grandma, you all continue eating. Zhao Zhao and I are going out for a walk."
"Okay, go ahead."
Having received permission, Shan Song pulled Tong Zhao to her feet, their fingertips clasped together for a moment, then their movements abruptly stopped.
Everyone at the table was still enjoying themselves and didn't notice what was happening here. Shan Song suppressed his heart pounding due to the release of dopamine and pretended to be calm as he led the people outside, stroking Tong Zhao's wrist as they walked.
Tong Zhao was still following behind Shan Song, head down, pondering whether to try a new exercise position tonight, unaware of the strangeness of Shan Song's movements.
Until Shan Song suddenly spoke up: "Let's go for a physical exam tomorrow."
"Hmm?" Tong Zhao looked up at him.
A strange light flashed in Shan Song's eyes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Let's go check it out tomorrow. Maybe it's my husband's problem?"
"..."
There's no need to get this checked; your wife thinks you're perfectly capable!
Besides, when they were getting their bodies treated before, the Shan family's doctor had already given them both a physical exam, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Tong Zhao stared at Shan Song's increasingly bright smile for a while, full of doubt, feeling that this person was strange.
The next day, the doubts were finally answered. Tong Zhao was both surprised and delighted as she held the report in the hospital. After her excitement subsided a little, she suddenly remembered something and stared straight at Shan Song. Well, she still had to tease him at this time!
This person clearly noticed it last night!
Dan Song just kept laughing, carefully holding Tong Zhao in his arms, his voice deep and tender, as if circling around her ear: "Your wish has come true, baby."
Tong Zhao's ears tingled, then turned red and hot. He gently touched his flat stomach. Although his son's behavior last night was extremely bad, he decided to let this man off the hook. What he was more curious about was: "How do you know how to take a pulse?"
"I can do the simple things, after all, that's what my family does." Shan Song winked at his wife, as if to say, "Do you think your husband is amazing?"
"..."
Shan Song bent down, cupped Tong Zhao's face in his hands, and planted a kiss on her forehead: "Let's go home. It seems our little chicks are lucky stars. Let's give them a little extra food when we get back!"
Tong Zhao felt a mix of sweetness and helplessness as she was being protected like a big baby. She put away the report and looked at the two magpies outside the window. Suddenly, she turned her head and said, "Hey? Speaking of which, isn't the little one the third child since birth?"
Dan Song pondered for a moment: "Hmm, the Third Prince, and also a little nephew and two little grandsons."
Pfft~
The royal chicken family has gained another member.
