303 Little Cloud
Chenchen struggled to go down to touch the duck.
"Mom, it's so delicious~~"
Otherwise, how can we say that all things have spirits?
The duck probably knows that as long as it pleases the children, it doesn't need to be cooked and become a dish on the table. It shakes its head in the dust and is not afraid of strangers at all.
The more Chenchen watched, the more he liked it.
Apart from anything else, this duck is really beautiful. It is pure snow-white without a single stray hair on its body, has a shiny golden beak and paws, small eyes as big as beans, and its butt wiggles as it walks, which is really cute.
But no matter how cute it is, it is still a food in Su Taotao's eyes.
She never thought about adding a pet other than Baibai to the house.
Su Taotao tried her best to persuade the children: "But ducks need to live in water. We don't have the conditions to raise them at home."
Fu Yuanhang also said: "It used to grow by the sea, and I'm afraid we are not used to raising it at home."
It's all his fault. Why am I eating braised duck with basil?
Chen Chen thought about it and realized that ducks seemed to like swimming in the water. He immediately thought of a solution:
"I asked my dad to make a pool so the duck can soak in the water~~"
Su Taotao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The omnipotent Master Fu could actually make a "swimming pool" for the ducks and raise them.
If she asked for sea water, the child would probably ask Mr. Fu to go to the beach to fetch sea water every day.
"But ducks will poop everywhere and make the house very dirty." Buying a live duck was Su Taotao's biggest mistake of the day.
I never expected that children like small animals and treat them as friends.
It doesn't matter if you bring back a bare duck, Chenchen will still enjoy eating it. But if he sees that there is a live duck at home, he really won't be able to kill it.
It doesn't matter if you see it outside, but once it appears on Dust's territory, it becomes Dust's property.
What a bad idea.
Chenchen shook his head and disagreed: "I will teach it to go to the toilet by itself like Baibai~~"
Su Taotao: "..."Son, are you sure you can teach a duck to go to the toilet at a designated place?
Su Taotao refused to give up and decided to adopt a delaying tactic:
"But it's a male duck and can't lay eggs. Grandma's family raises hens because they can lay eggs. Let's not raise this one for now. Mom will buy you a little female duck next time, okay?"
Chenchen still shook his head: "But Baibai is also a male dog that can't lay eggs, can't we keep him? Why does he have to lay eggs before we can keep him~~"
Su Taotao: “…” I was speechless!
The more Chenchen thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. He raised his head to look at the white clouds in the sky, then stroked the duck's fur:
"From now on, it will be called Little Cloud~~
Baibai, come here quickly, you have a new friend~~"
Chenchen touched the big white duck's head and said, "From now on, your nickname will be Duoduo~~"
Su Taotao and Fu Yuanhang looked at each other.
Fu Yuanhang expressed his apologies.
He shouldn't have wanted to eat duck braised in basil.
However, Chenchen did not name the snow-white duck Heihei, so this can be considered a consolation.
What can I do?
The dinner recipe had to be changed from braised duck with basil to fried eggs with black fungus.
Fu Zhengtu returned home on time today as usual. As soon as he entered the house, he heard "Ga ga ga ga..."
"Why is there a duck at home? Is it waiting for me to come back and kill it?"
"Ah~~" Chenchen ran over with a thump, put his hands on his waist and looked up at his father, "This is my friend Little Cloud, I can't eat it. Why do you want to kill Little Cloud? It's so beautiful~~"
Fu Zhengtu: “…” How should he answer this?
"Daddy, to show your warm welcome to the little cloud, make a big pool for it, a big pool where it can swim~~" Chenchen made a water-splashing gesture.
Fu Zhengtu: “…”
He and Su Taotao both have a slight obsession with cleanliness. Keeping Baibai at home is already an exception. If they also keep a duck that poops everywhere...
Fu Zhengtu did not agree to Chen Chen immediately, but looked towards the kitchen.
Su Taotao was leaning against the kitchen door with her hands folded, looking like she was watching a show.
"Did you agree?" Fu Zhengtu asked Su Taotao with a curved lip.
Su Taotao shook her head: "I didn't agree, but I couldn't convince him."
Fu Zhengtu smiled silently and looked back at the child:
"Can you guarantee that it won't poop everywhere? And you have to feed it yourself, which won't add extra work for everyone?"
"Why is that?" Chenchen asked, tilting his little head.
Fu Zhengtu said: "Because except for you, no one in the family wants to keep it.
Since you want to keep it, we have no choice but to respect your opinion, but you have to be responsible for it yourself, can you do it?"
Chen Chen looked at the little cloud, thought for a long time, and finally nodded heavily:
"You can eat it, but daddy, what does little cloud eat? I don't seem to have any money. Can you lend me some money to buy it food~~"
Fu Zhengtu: “…”
He touched the kid's head helplessly, and it was obvious that he really wanted to keep this duck.
No more embarrassment for him.
“Ducks are omnivores and will eat anything, so there is no need to buy extra food.
Grains, leftovers, fruits and vegetables grown by Auntie Zhong, and even radish peels and carrot peels picked from the market. You can eat anything."
"Wow~~" Chenchen touched Little Cloud's head, "Duoduo, you are awesome. You are not picky about food at all and are easier to take care of than Baibai~~"
Chenchen was almost ready to hug the big white duck and give it a kiss: "You must be hungry, I'll go find you something to eat~~"
The child held his head high and said, "Daddy, please make way~~"
Fu Zhengtu: “…” He silently stepped aside and made a “please” gesture.
"Thank you~~" The little gentleman ran to the door with his short legs to pick vegetable leaves. Oh, no, he was looking for food for little cloud.
Fu Zhengtu and Su Taotao looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding, but there was a hint of helplessness hidden in their smiles.
The "braised duck with basil" that should have been served on the table has been officially renamed Little Cloud. It is now flapping its wings proudly, twisting and turning behind its little master, and looking as proud as its little master.
Thank you all for your concern.
The old lady has been discharged from the hospital for half a month. The CT scan shows improvement, but inflammation still exists and she still coughs all the time.
Seeing a doctor actually requires a lot of attention to medical affinity. I have seen at least five or six doctors, both Chinese and Western medicine. Maybe my physical foundation is not good and it will take a long time to recover.
This year is the year of the outbreak of Mycoplasma pneumonia. Many people around me have been infected, especially children. It is highly contagious. When children are brought back from kindergarten, adults at home will also be infected.
So everyone and your family must take precautions.
Wish you good health and world peace, mua
