Song Tan's Notes

As I was talking, I heard someone talking downstairs.

Song Tan had to use a little more force to hug Lu Chuan's thin waist tightly, and then buried his head in his shoulder: "Well, I will definitely like it."

Lu Chuan also heard it, and at this moment he kissed her hair helplessly: "Yeah."

The two of them went downstairs together and saw a middle-aged and young man standing in the yard. They looked familiar.

The two people in the yard were talking to Aunt Lianhua. When they saw Song Tan coming downstairs, the young man was the first to greet him: "Boss Song!"

Song Tan finally responded: "Are you here to see the Chinese merganser?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The young man nodded quickly: "Are the ducks also in the back mountain?"

Song Tan laughed: "No, the chickens and ducks have moved to a new place this year, on the river beach - Qiao Qiao!"

Song Tan shouted, and then Qiao Qiao poked her head out from the third floor: "I only have 3 minutes to finish my homework! Sister, please wait for me." Then she quickly shrank back.

Song Tan: ...It turns out that as long as they don’t go to school, children are essentially studious.

She said helplessly, "Sit down for a while, and I'll let Qiao Qiao take you there later. I haven't seen the Chinese merganser many times, and the children are more exposed to it."

"Would you like some tea? I have some broken tea leaves for this year's new tea. If you don't mind, I'll pour you two cups."

  New tea?!

What a lucky guy!

Hearing this, the middle-aged man who had been silent all this time perked up and said without saying a word: "Wait a moment, I'll go get the cup!"

"I want some too!" The young man was stunned for a moment, then turned around and ran towards the car.

After a while, the two returned to the yard, each carrying a 1.8L thermos.

Song Tan: ...

  Although many people have this as standard equipment at home, this thermos is really too new!

The capacity of 1.8 liters is engraved in large letters.

"That's not necessary." She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing the two people's instantly depressed expressions, she quickly said, "Drink from cups in my house. It's not convenient to pour water from this kettle. I'll fill it up for you when you leave."

so good? !

The two were overjoyed and quickly went back to get out their own teacups, thinking that they were fully prepared and had everything they wanted.

My seventh cousin stood at the kitchen door and took a look. He simply couldn't bear to watch it!

"Look how happy they are with just a few tea leaves... How can they drink tea in such an inappropriate way?"

He picked up his big teacup, which was filled with soaked yellow-green young buds, of extremely high quality.

After taking a sip of hot tea, Qiao Qiao came downstairs with her live broadcast stand in her hand: "Sister, should I take the uncles to see the ducks?"

"Yes," Song Tan nodded. "The duck that Chen Chixin photographed is a Chinese merganser. I told you that it is a national protected animal. Take the uncles to have a look and see if you can get them to stop living in the duck shed."

"Our ducks are free-range and we catch them randomly, so it's hard to guarantee that they won't have any problems."

Qiao Qiao had only a vague understanding of these, but he had experience in dealing with the long-tailed pheasant at that time, so he nodded confidently: "Uncle, then I will take you to the river on my bike. Da Qiu is very obedient and will come when I call him."

Song Tan, who was walking in front, turned around and said, "Da Qiu?" Even Lu Chuan looked over curiously.

Qiao Qiao said proudly, "Well! The one that hatches the eggs is called Da Qiu, the same generation as our Da Wang, Da Tian, ​​Da Bai and Da Hong. Chen Chi and I named them that, doesn't it sound nice?"

He shook his head and said, "There are four mergansers in total, but only Big Merganser is the smartest. I can't tell the others apart, so I haven't named them yet."

Song Tan suppressed a laugh: "Okay, Daqiu...but why does the merganser have a name, but the long-tailed pheasant doesn't?"

Qiao Qiao felt a little aggrieved when talking about this: "I gave it a name, Dazhi...but it doesn't listen, none of them listen, it only listens to Dahong."

Song Tan really didn't expect Qiao Qiao to be so rigorous and meticulous. He had already achieved the attribute of a master of keeping things balanced. He nodded seriously at this moment: "Okay, then you can take the uncles to meet them. See what the uncles say about how to deal with it, and then discuss it with Chen Xi."

"Ok!"

Qiao Qiao put her phone away: "I'm going to take the kids to watch it later."

He rode on the bike swiftly, then looked at the two staff members who were still standing there stupidly: "Uncle, hurry up and get on the bike!"

The two grown men looked at his dreamy macaron rainbow tricycle and fell silent.

But no matter how silent he was, he still had to take the tricycle because the fence on the river beach was being rebuilt and there were a lot of materials piled on the narrow road, making it inconvenient for cars to go back and forth, so he still had to rely on Qiao Qiao.

At this moment, the April breeze was blowing gently, and the two people were swaying slightly in the tricycle, holding the teacups like treasures in their arms. For some reason, the two staff members couldn't help laughing.

  It feels really comfortable to live in my hometown!

This was the first time for the two staff members to come to the river beach. Looking at the vast expanse of river, the high cliffs on the opposite bank, and the sparse lotus leaves that had grown tall on the river bank, they could not help but exclaim in amazement and subconsciously took out their mobile phones.

Qiao Qiao skillfully parked the tricycle aside and called out loudly, "Chen Chi! Chen Chi! Look! The ducks are coming!"

  Chen Chi was unpacking a package. When he heard Qiao Qiao calling him, he rushed out excitedly, holding a small plastic toy with a colorful whistle in his hand:

"Qiao Qiao! My gift to you!"

When two old friends meet, even though they see each other every day, they are still as happy as if they have met again after a long separation.

"what is this?"

Qiao Qiao hadn't unpacked the small plastic toy in her hand yet, and Chen Chi was helping to tear it apart: "This is a magic wand! Xiaoying's magic wand!"

The cartoon they recently chose is "Cardcaptor Sakura", and they were so fascinated by it that their favorite things changed from Mecha Tyrannosaurus and HolyAngemon to Clow Cards, and the main theme is that they love everything.

So the adults who were watching the ducks were thrown aside.

Chen Xi was still reliable. He put down his work and came over, calling Qiao Qiao: "Let's play with the magic wand after get off work. Qiao Qiao, do you want to start a live broadcast?"

right!

  The two of them then remembered that they had to behave properly at work, so they quickly put the toys away and put on a serious face:

"Yes, live broadcast!"

Meanwhile, Chen Xi had already led everyone to the duck shed: "The duck shed is in the farthest corner, with a lot of straw spread inside. This is where the ducks usually lay their eggs."

"Just a while ago, when I came to collect duck eggs, I found a wild duck incubating eggs. Chen Chi - my brother had never seen such a duck before, so he took a photo and showed it to Qiao Qiao. Then Boss Song said that he had seen it here before the New Year."

"But there was only one at that time. I don't know when it suddenly became four..."

Chen Xi found this a little funny: "Maybe Da Qiu went to call him specially." (End of this chapter)
