It was already bright outside. Han Cheng woke up from his sleep, rubbed his head and smiled bitterly.

I had a very disturbing dream last night. I didn’t sleep well all night. After waking up, I felt dazed and confused.

What would happen if two such kids were really born?

After lying there in a daze for a while, Han Cheng sniffed and started to get up. After washing up, he continued to go to the chicken coop to look after the chicks.

When I got there, I found that the rooster that had been incubating eggs had already left the nest and was leading a group of fluffy balls to look for food in the chicken coop.

This group of newly born chicks, with their newborn curiosity, ran around the rooster, making childish calls.

One or two greedy little chicks were concentrating on finding food on the ground.

It finally found a cut blade of grass and put it in its mouth, but before it could eat it, another one saw the food and quickly ran over to grab it.

He opened his mouth and pecked at the other end of the grass leaf, and the two began a tug-of-war like eating rice noodles across a bridge.

The two little guys fought back and forth for a while, and each ate a portion of what they got.

He tilted his head and wiped his mouth on the ground twice. When he looked up, he found that the father hen had already walked away with the other chicks.

The two satisfied little guys suddenly panicked. They no longer cared about anything else and shouted anxiously, flapped their furry wings, and ran quickly towards the old rooster with their slender legs.

It ran to the old rooster and finally calmed down, then began to run around there leisurely again.

The scene of the two little chicks chirping and running towards the big rooster made Han Cheng tremble with fear. Last night's dream left a shadow on him.

Fourteen?

After lying here and watching for a while, I finally counted all the little balls of fluff running around.

Shouldn't there be fifteen? Why is there one missing?

Han Cheng hurried to check the chicken coop.

The chicken coop was full of bloody eggshells left behind after the chicks hatched.

He lifted a corner of the net, reached in with a stick and poked around a few times, and sure enough, he found an intact egg inside.

Han Cheng quickly found a net bag, reached in and caught the egg.

If you put it close to your ear and listen carefully, you can vaguely hear the faint chirping of chickens and the occasional sound of pecking at eggshells.

Seeing this, Han Cheng quickly held the egg in his hand, then turned and ran towards the room.

Back in the house, he placed the egg under the armpit of Snow White, who had become sleepy due to her pregnancy, to keep her warm.

This is a rather unlucky chick. Its misfortune is that it developed much later than the other chicks.

It takes a certain amount of time for a hen to incubate eggs. After most of the chicks have hatched, and if it takes too long, it will get up and lead the hatched chicks away.

If we don't leave now, the chicks that hatched earlier will die of hunger.

At the same time, it is also a relatively lucky guy. The luck lies in that when Han Cheng went there, the old rooster had not been out of the nest for too long.

If we delay any longer, we will inevitably freeze to death in this season.

Sister Bai Xue was awakened by Han Cheng's actions. Just as she was about to turn over, Han Cheng, who was quick-handed and quick-eyed, reached out and held her.

If it turns over, it can eat the hairy eggs.

After figuring out what Brother Cheng put in her armpit, the still confused Bai Xue immediately became alert, but then became a little confused again.

Aren't chicks hatched only from chickens? When did humans become able to hatch chicks?

Sister Bai Xue asked Han Cheng with blinking eyes.

Not only people can hatch chicks, but you can also get a large vat, put hot water in it, put a sieve on it, put eggs in the sieve, and cover it with a quilt. As long as the temperature is well controlled, chicks can be hatched.

The same goes for the kang.

After all, eggs are already fertilized when they are laid by the hen, and all they need is the right temperature.

Sister Bai Xue, who got the definite answer from Han Cheng, was no longer sleepy at all. Such novel things could attract her attention the most.

She lay there, holding the egg under her armpit, listening to the chick's faint cries from time to time, feeling the sound of the chick pecking at the eggshell, with a face full of joy and curiosity, and she didn't even eat breakfast.

Seeing that Sister Bai Xue was so happy, Han Cheng sat here and talked to her for a while, then went out again.

He wanted to get some better food to feed the group of newly born chicks.

The hard eggshell finally couldn't hold up due to the chick's continuous efforts, and at about ten o'clock in the morning, there was a small crack in one part of the eggshell.

The hole gradually widened, revealing the chick's pointed beak.

Sister Bai Xue opened her big eyes and looked at it without blinking, looking very serious and happy.

Near noon, the eggshell finally broke and a furry chick crawled out.

The chick is gray overall, with a slightly orange beak and claws. It is furry and looks like a small ball, which is extremely cute.

The newly born chick looked around, chirped a few times, and then naturally lay down next to Snow White, being very quiet and well-behaved.

This chick, which had never seen any other chicks of its kind, obviously mistook Snow White, the girl it saw at first sight, for its mother.

Han Cheng came over and smiled when he saw the chick. After all, a grown chicken has much more meat than an egg.

He pinched some millet and put it in Bai Xuemei's palm. Bai Xuemei half turned sideways and spread out her palm and placed it in front of the chicken.

The furry little chick looked at it for a while, then lowered its head and began to peck at the rice with its little orange beak.

The chick had just been born and didn’t have much strength. Its tiny beak pecked at the palm of my hand, which made Snow White giggle with joy.

The little chicken also completely regarded this place as its home. After eating some millet and drinking a few sips of water, it ran around on the kang, scratching here and pecking there.

The bright sunlight shone through the gaps in the window lattice, slanting into the house, falling on the kang, leaving a thin beam of light.

Inside the beam of light, there is tiny dust floating around, which looks very interesting.

Such things quickly attracted the attention of the newly born chick.

It came to the bottom of the light column, tilted its head to look at it for a while, then began to push the ground with its two slender legs, jumped up hard, flapped its small wings, and stretched its neck to peck at the light column.

When I landed, my footing was unstable and I fell to the ground, rolling like a ball of wool.

Han Chengdu couldn't help laughing out loud at the clumsy and silly look.

After a while, Han Cheng prepared to take the chick away and send it to the rooster who had become a new mother hen and let it lead the chick.

This plan was finally completely abandoned when he met Sister Bai Xue's reluctant and pitiful eyes.
