Chapter 189 Extra
The birds in the cages were like soldiers being reviewed. When Xiaoxiao walked up to them, they offered the most delicious food and showed off their beautiful feathers. Xiaoxiao was very patient and he actually praised the conceited birds one by one.
Xiaoxiao's compliments were very interesting. He would point out which feather on a bird was the most beautiful. After hearing this, the birds spread their wings and sang happily, and the sound of birdsong filled half of the zoo.
Father Du was quite surprised at first, but after getting used to it, he actually felt that Xiaoxiao should be treated warmly by the bird. Who in the world would not like such a cute child?
At this time, many birds flew in the sky, including egrets, parrots, pigeons and sparrows. They all held something in their mouths, circling in the sky, then swooped down and threw the things in their mouths into Xiaoxiao's cloth bag.
Father Du and his friends didn't have good eyesight, so they couldn't see clearly what the birds dropped. However, Xiao Yuyao's spiritual sense could tell clearly what the birds had sent, which were some plant seeds. Birds in the wild would feed on grass seeds. It can be said that things that humans can't eat or look down on are often delicacies for birds.
Xiaoxiao held the bag up to the sky, and the birds came over and dropped seeds into the bag. If someone else stood under the flock of birds, Father Du would think it was a terrible thing. However, it was Xiaoxiao who was standing, and Father Du and the others felt that Xiaoxiao was doing something sacred.
In addition to Xiaoxiao, Xiaoyufeather was also favored by the birds. Some birds that looked very majestic actually held the big chicken legs in their mouths and forcefully stuffed them into Xiaoyufeather's hands. Then they looked at Xiaoyufeather with sparkling eyes. Poor Xiaoyufeather kept picking it up and throwing it away. In the end, if Dad Du hadn't taken the chicken legs with a plastic bag, Xiaoyufeather wouldn't know what to do.
People who were not aware of the situation saw the unusual movement in the poultry area and wanted to come to see what was going on. However, as soon as they approached, the flock of birds started to fly away. The excited birds flew away, and people who wanted to get closer were greeted by the bird's feces.
There was a lot of scolding in the poultry house, but the birds were very happy. They chirped as if they had done something particularly glorious.
Soon the birds dispersed. Xiaoxiao held the bag in both hands and said, "Shall we go back?"
When Xiaoxiao left the zoo, he was not the only one carrying a bag, but also Du's father and his friends were carrying food. Their bags contained fruits, grains, and most outrageously, a dozen large chicken legs.
Father Du said to Mother Du with a smile on his face, "Why do I feel like we are being fed by small animals?" He had grown up for so many years, but this was the first time he encountered such a situation.
Mother Du smiled and said, "They said they wanted to spend more time in the zoo, but they didn't expect that they would have to go back early because they received so many gifts." Mother Du looked at the two little ones holding hands in front of her with kind eyes.
When Du's father and his family returned home, Du Heng and his family were cooking. There was braised pork in the pot, and the tempting smell of braised pork wafted far away.
After sniffing it, Father Du was so happy that he said, "The braised pork made by Xiaoheng tastes like your mother's. No, I must drink a few sips today. Mom, I'll go buy some wine."
Mother Du said, "Why buy wine? Aren't there still bottles from previous years in the cabinet upstairs?"
Father Du touched his head and said, "I'll go look for it." Mother Du said, "Let's go together. It will be too troublesome if you mess things up and don't clean them up yourself." After saying this, the two elders went upstairs.
Feng Gui stared at the grains in Xiao Xiao's hand: "This is..."
Xiaoxiao said proudly: "I went to the zoo today and many birds gave me gifts!"
Feng Gui's eyes lit up with joy. He stretched out his hand and asked Xiao Xiao for the grains: "Give them to me." Xiao Xiao casually handed the bag of grains to Feng Gui: "Here."
It was rare to see Feng Gui care about something, so Du Heng asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with these grain rice?"
Xiaoxiao got a bowl of grains, some of which were long and some were round, which looked ugly in the bowl. However, Fenggui didn't dislike the rice at all. He washed the rice and put it in a casserole and added water, apparently to cook porridge.
Xixi actually cooked! Du Heng was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out: "Xixi, we have rice cooking in the pot. Are you... going to make porridge?"
Feng Gui explained: "Each phoenix will receive offerings from other feather tribes. Generally, the feather tribes will go to the mountains to pick miscellaneous rice, such as bamboo rice or wild rice, to offer to the phoenix. The first handful of miscellaneous rice received by the phoenixes is called Baijia rice. The phoenixes can choose to eat Baijia rice raw or cook it into rice or rice porridge. After eating Baijia rice, it means that the feather tribes have recognized the identity of the phoenix."
Du Heng was shocked: "Is there such a thing?!"
Feng Gui smiled and said, "Yes, and the Feather Clan that offers the Baijia Rice are not demon cultivators, but the most simple and natural birds in the world. After eating the Baijia Rice, the Phoenix will be blessed by the Feather Clan. I didn't expect Xiaoxiao to receive the Baijia Rice here. I was thinking of taking him to the Feather Clan after I go back."
Du Heng exclaimed: "So that's how it is, Xiaoxiao is really amazing."
Feng Gui shook his head and said, "It's not Xiaoxiao who is powerful, but the birds here. The spiritual energy here is thin, and many birds have never seen a phoenix. Xiaoxiao received a hundred rice even without revealing her true form, which shows how powerful they are."
Most birds are actually petty, and they would usually fight over a piece of fruit, not to mention going out of their way to find Xiaoxiao. The birds in Du Heng's hometown are really amazing, even if their previous generations have never seen a phoenix, the consciousness dormant in their bones has still awakened.
Feng Gui stirred the porridge in the casserole carefully. He sighed and said, "I don't know how these birds in your hometown have survived these years. Without the protection of the demon cultivators, it must be very difficult for them to survive."
The birds in the zoo were locked in cages and lost their freedom. Feng Gui sighed, "It would be more painful to lose freedom than to die."
Xiaoxiao washed the fruit and said seriously, "No, the birds said that living in the zoo is nice. Humans provide food and accommodation, and there is air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter. It's quite comfortable. By the way, Du Hengheng, what are air conditioning and heating?"
Feng Gui: ...
Du Heng's mouth twitched: "Are you serious?"
Xiaoxiao nodded and showed the apple in his hand: "I asked them if we could help them open the cage and let them fly in the sky. But they said that being kept by someone feels good. And what is keeping someone?"
Little Feather scratched his head: "Ah... when those birds gave me chicken legs, they seemed to say they wanted to support me." Du Heng and the others looked at the dozen large chicken legs in the plastic bag. So these were Little Feather's legs for sale? !
Feng Gui broke the spoon in his hand with a snap. He gritted his teeth and said, "This bunch of self-degrading fat birds! Let them get fat to death!"
Du Heng was confused. What the hell did these birds teach the children? Also, did Xiaoxiao and Fenggui know how to speak to birds?
Mother Du and her friends finally found the wine that had been sealed for years under the bed. They carefully wiped the dust off the packaging and put the wine on the table. At this time, a table of dishes was already on the table. Before the meal officially started, Du Heng talked about the Shengpin Group. Du Heng solemnly asked Father Du and his friends, "Mom and Dad, do you want to move or stay here?"
Father Du smiled slightly: "Shengpin Group actually gave us a lot of resettlement allowance, enough for us to buy a big house in the city."
Mother Du picked up two pieces of braised fish for Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyu. She said calmly, "A few days ago, Lao Li and his friends said that the environment of the new community in the city is very good and asked us to move there and be neighbors."
Du Heng blinked and said, "So you want to move?"
Father Du nodded: "Yes, although I am a little reluctant to leave the old house, this house has been built for nearly 20 years. If this place becomes a shopping mall in the future, it will not look good for our family to stay here. Besides, municipal construction needs everyone. If Shengpin Group comes again next time, we will just take the compensation and move out."
Du Heng immediately understood what Du's father and the others were thinking. They had insisted on not moving before, not because of the high compensation, but for him.
Mother Du said gently, "We were worried that you wouldn't be able to find us when you came back. Now that you're back, there's no need for us to insist."
Dad Du opened the wine, and Du Heng quickly took the bottle. He poured most of the wine into Dad Du's glass, then poured wine into Jing Nanfeng Gui Xiaoyu's glasses, and finally added half a glass for himself.
Father Du said with a smile: "Our Xiaoheng has grown up and can drink white wine now. By the way, I met Lao Zhang this morning. Lao Zhang's niece is one year younger than you. How about you two get together? Your mother and I are also old enough to have grandchildren."
Hearing this, Du Heng felt bitter in his heart. The Du family elders really gave everything for him. As a child, he could not fulfill their wish of having a grandchild. He and Xiaoyu would not have children, and he was not going to create a child to deal with his parents.
Mother Du put a piece of braised pork in Father Du's bowl and said, "Eat, the child is still young, why are you telling him this? Even braised pork can't stop you from eating."
Xuan Yu picked up a piece of meat from Du Heng's bowl and said, "The meat today must be delicious." He and Du's mother looked at each other, and Xuan Yu gave a gentle smile.
The people from Shengpin Group came again a few days later. They were all unconscious when they went back last time, so they sent more people today. I thought it would be a tough battle, but I didn't expect that Dad Du and the others would sign the contract easily.
After the contract was signed, they had to pack up and prepare to move. Father Du and his family were a little reluctant, but when they touched the money in their pockets and looked at the lively Du Heng, they smiled knowingly.
When Du Heng got up in the middle of the night to get some water in the living room, he heard Du's father and his friends talking. Du's father meant that it was time for Du Heng to get married, and that they could buy two houses with the compensation. They would give Du Heng a larger house, and the old couple would live in the smaller one. It would be best if they bought houses in a residential area, so that Du Heng could help take care of the children when they had them.
Father Du's arrangement was very beautiful, but Du Heng had no way to carry it out according to his wishes. If he had not gone to Taixu Realm, he might really have found a girl and had a child as Father Du had arranged. But now that he had Xiaoyu, he would rather be an enemy of the whole world than lose his Xiaoyu.
Just as Du Heng was staring at the bedroom of Du's father, Xuan Yu put a coat on Du Heng and said, "I'll come and talk to the two elders tomorrow, okay?"
Du Heng smiled and leaned on Xuan Yu's shoulder. He said firmly: "Let me tell you." Some things are his business, and there is no use in avoiding them.
