In March, Shanghai is bathed in spring warmth and blooming flowers, a riot of colors everywhere.
After a period of adjustment, the goose got used to staying at home every day.
It wasn't that they wouldn't let it go out to play, but rather that when Shen Yanming first took it for a walk, it was extremely uncomfortable, shivering from the cold, and even got sick when they got back. It had a poor appetite, diarrhea, and was shivering.
Shen Yanming was helpless and didn't know what to do, so he could only ask Bi Qiaoan to send it back to the space first, and then feed it spiritual spring water and those strengthening pills every day so that the goose could get better quickly.
Fortunately, the spiritual spring water and the pills worked, and within a few days, the goose was full of energy again. Seeing it frolicking freely on the grassland, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan couldn't bear to take it out again.
The goose, however, was still thinking about the big box that could play sounds and images, and it kept quacking around the two of them.
There was no other way but to bring it out again.
Even after the Lunar New Year, Haishi was still experiencing power outages, and Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan wondered if this kind of life would become the norm. Fortunately, the days were getting longer and the days were getting shorter, with sunrise and sunset times gradually returning to normal.
Days passed uneventfully. Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan went to work during the day, leaving their goose at home.
Worried that it might be too lonely, they taught the goose how to play movies on a tablet. And because they were concerned about the battery life, they prepared at least two spares for it every day.
Haha, she really spoils her son!
And so, the goose became completely captivated. Not only was it no longer lonely, it even forgot all its friends in the virtual world. Sometimes, it would ignore Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan when they came home, only sparing them a little affection when the tablet ran out of battery.
Ha, have you forgotten who the master is?
Forget it, I won't argue with my son. It would make me seem petty.
On a sunny weekend, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan decided to take their goose out to see the world. Staying at home watching movies every day was just too restrictive for the goose.
The goose, however, refused to listen to reason, remembering how it nearly froze to death after going out last time.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan had finished packing their things and changing their clothes, but Da'ezi hid in the gap between the wall and the cabinet and refused to come out no matter what.
Shen Yanming explained that it's not so cold outside anymore, the temperature is about the same as inside, but Da'ezi didn't believe him.
The goose thought to itself, "Don't think you can fool me just because I'm a goose. This space has never been this cold before. You humans are so cunning, humph!"
Shen Yanming was at his wit's end. His reputation with Da'ezi was ruined, so he could only turn to his wife for help.
Actually, Bi Qiaoan didn't have much of a solution, but compared to Shen Yanming, her son trusted her more.
The reason is simple: Shen Yanming was responsible for the goose's illness last time, and the goose held a grudge. Since Bi Qiaoan was heavily pregnant and unable to move around easily, the goose had to stay home, so it didn't blame her.
Even afterward, Bi Qiaoan fed it spiritual spring water and pills, and chatted with it, making the goose feel that Bi Qiaoan was the best person to it. And so, by a twist of fate, Bi Qiaoan gained the goose's complete trust.
Bi Qiaoan thought for a moment. If she couldn't use force, she could only coax her. She took out her phone, looked out the window, and showed two photos to the goose, saying, "Look, there are flowers and plants outside now, just like in the space. Don't you want to see a scene similar to the one in the movie?"
The little goose hesitated, but Bi Qiaoan continued to tempt it, "Outside there are not only flowers and plants, but also cars that can run, birds that can fly, and cats and dogs that can bark. These are things that don't exist in the space. Hmm, and there's lots of delicious food too."
Seeing that the goose's eyes were shining brightly, but it was still squatting there without moving, Bi Qiaoan directly used her trump card: "Come out quickly, or I'll cut off your supply of spiritual spring water!"
Alright, no need to coax him anymore, the little goose obediently came out. He's really something else – you can't lead him by the hand, and you'll only push him away!
So, the two men and the goose swaggered out the door.
This was the first time Da'ezi had ridden an elevator. He never expected that the square metal box could be so magical. The outside world changed as soon as the door opened and closed.
Last time it wasn't so lucky; Shen Yanming led it down the steps one by one, and the goose was almost exhausted.
When the little goose stepped out of the elevator and looked up from the building, wow, there was such a tall building! And amazingly, it really looked exactly like in the movies! Oh my, I'm so excited!
Watching it flap its wings and squawk wildly, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan could hardly bear to look. "You silly goose, don't you know you live in such a tall building every day?" Indeed, what a silly goose!
Okay, okay, let's not argue about intelligence with our little goose. After all, we're different species, and it's already quite remarkable that it has developed to this extent.
The two took their goose to the back of Qingning Mountain. They hadn't been to their own land all winter and were feeling a little uneasy.
Fortunately, the wheat seedlings in the field are lush and green, swaying in the wind. It seems that the low temperature of minus twenty degrees Celsius will not harm them.
However, the cabbage and radish seedlings all froze to death, so Shen Yanming had to dig them up with a hoe and plant some corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes instead.
Shen Yanming was sweating profusely in the field, while Bi Qiaoan sat to the side eating snacks, and the goose was watching closely beside Shen Yanming.
Wow, this is so novel! I didn't know you had to use tools to dig holes to plant crops. In this space, the seeds were just scattered all at once.
The combination of two people and a goose was quite eye-catching, attracting curious glances from many residents working on the back of Qingning Mountain. Some of the bolder ones even went up to strike up a conversation.
Bi Qiaoan accepted all offers without hesitation. Since she was heavily pregnant and couldn't do anything anyway, she figured she might as well chat with people rather than sit around bored.
"Is this your goose? Why don't you keep it locked up? Aren't you afraid it will run away?"
Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "Don't worry, my goose has been raised at home since it was a chick. It can recognize people and is no different from a cat or dog!"
"Does it peck people? I heard it hurts a lot if a goose pinches you?"
Bi Qiaoan shook her head. "I don't know. Neither my husband nor I have ever been pinched. But my son has a good temper. If no one provokes him, he probably won't attack on his own."
After saying that, Bi Qiaoan called out to the big white ball in the distance, "Big goose, come here for a second and say hello to all the uncles and aunties!"
The goose turned its head and saw a lot of people! Seeing that Bi Qiaoan was looking for someone, it happily walked over and then tilted its head and quacked twice.
Everyone thought the goose was greeting them, and their faces lit up with surprise.
Actually, the goose was asking, "What's wrong? Don't interrupt my watching the master of the house farm!"
