Chapter 345 The Crow Tamer, the Crow Tamer?
The next morning, Zhai Da walked out of the bedroom, scratching his head.

The sun was warm and gentle, not glaring, and a warm breeze slipped into my sleeves.

You can still faintly hear the little girl's laughter and the clattering of the cutting board coming from the kitchen.

At this moment, the concentration of home was off the charts.

A little girl in a dress poked her head out of the bathroom, a toothbrush dangling from her mouth, her smooth hair falling over her bare shoulders: "Brother~ you're awake?"

Zhai Da was stunned for a moment before yawning and replying, "Yeah, you guys all got up this early?"

Being woken up by the sound of my mom's chopping board is an experience I haven't had in a long time.
When there were only two of them, Lu Wei would get up earlier than him, but now that there are four of them, he is at the bottom again.

With foam at the corners of her mouth, Tang Xiaokui said with a grin, "We get up this early in Dongyang too, at 6:30 sharp."

Very good, living the lifestyle of a middle-aged or elderly person at such a young age.

Very healthy.

Tang Xiao Kui raised her little hand: "Sister Lu said this is your toothbrush, and I squeezed toothpaste onto it for you."

Zhai Da squatted down, took a bite, and then went to the kitchen door to take a look. Sure enough, his mother and Lu Wei were busy. So he stepped back behind everyone and washed up first.

Tang Xiaokui and I, one big and one small, were brushing our teeth in front of the mirror. One was wild and messy, while the other was meticulous and methodical.

Tang Xiao Kui finished rinsing first, then looked up and asked, "Brother, can I feed Xiao Hei later?"

Zhai Da, with a toothbrush in his mouth, mumbled, "Whether you feed it or not, its bird food is in its own cage. I just added it last night."

"Then I'll take the bird food out of the cage and feed it again."

"."

Zhai Da: "What's the point?"

Tang Xiaokui said earnestly, "That's how falconers on the grasslands are. They only let their falcons eat when their owners provide food, in order to ensure their obedience."

Zhai Da thought to himself, "Where did you find this mess? Actually, the video materials he prepared for Xiao Hei were all compilations, totaling more than sixty hours in length. He himself had forgotten what was in them."

Zhai Da reached out and wiped away the remaining foam from Tang Xiao Kui's lips, making Tang Xiao Kui blush slightly.

"Then go ahead and try it, it shouldn't hit you."

Children have so many wonderful ideas. Compared to when she first met Tang Xiao Kui at the orphanage, she seems much more age-appropriate now.

Or perhaps at that time, she was simply putting on a shell called "sensible."

But now it has been completely melted away, revealing the childlike innocence within.

Zhai Da suddenly remembered the aftermath of his father's case. He wondered if there had been any new developments in the past six months, and he could ask his mother about it sometime.

Tang Xiao Kui went to the balcony excitedly, quite boldly. Before Xiao Hei could react, the bird food box was snatched away.

The little girl held up the box and said earnestly, "You can only eat it if I give it to you, and you have to say thank you after you eat it!"

Xiao Hei:
Putting aside the battle between humans and birds on the balcony, when Zhai Da walked out of the bathroom, there was already a sumptuous breakfast on the table.

Fried eggs, steamed buns, stir-fried lettuce, and a platter of homemade braised dishes brought by Ms. Yu from Dongyang.

With so many people and such a large quantity, it's truly rare to see such a table full so early in the morning.

Zhai Da took the last bowl of chive and egg soup from his mother: "Who did I get this for? You never used to make breakfast, Mom. You would just buy a steamed bun downstairs and call it a day."

Yu Xiaoli wiped her hands: "Don't even mention it. The steamed bun shop downstairs closed down. It's the old shop that you were born in. They said their son had a baby in the city and they wanted to help take care of it. Since then, I've been making my own breakfast."

As she spoke, she called out towards the balcony, "Xiao Kui, come and eat!"

Here we go!

Tang Xiao Kui, who was holding the bird food box above her head with both hands, trying to outwit Xiao Hei, had to give up her crow-taming plan and hopped back to sit at the dining table.

Ms. Yu distributed fried eggs to everyone, each one with a runny yolk on both sides. She gave one to Tang Xiao Kui first: "You played with the bird and didn't wash your hands! Go wash them quickly."

Xiao Hei tilted its head and looked for a while, then opened the birdcage and hopped out. Tang Xiao Kui, who was about to leave, looked down and asked, "What are you doing here?"

With a sudden flap, Xiao Hei landed on the corner of the dining table, startling Tang Xiao Kui. Then, Xiao Hei extended its claws and pulled the plate of fried eggs in front of Tang Xiao Kui to its own side. It pecked at the small device on her ankle: "Thank you!"
Bird Head nodded in Tang Xiao Kui's direction.

Tang Xiao Kui: ? ? ?

Xiao Hei repeated itself, pointing its beak in Tang Xiao Kui's direction, seemingly very insistent.

Zhai Da yawned: "It makes you say thank you."

There are still too few audio clips for Xiao Hei's anklet. I'll make multiple versions for it when I have time. Its intelligence is actually sufficient to handle it skillfully.

Tang Xiaokui said with some doubt, "Thank you."

Xiao Hei nodded, then pushed the fried egg back to Tang Xiao Kui and turned to leave.

The family rule is that crows can't sit on the table, because they're afraid Zhai Da will beat them up.

Tang Xiao Kui was dumbfounded. So, have I become a crow-tamer?

Is it really a genius, even smarter than me?
Little Black obediently hopped towards the balcony. There were many rules at home, one of which was that flapping its wings was not allowed. A wingspan of 1.4 meters was no joke; it would cause chaos and even lose feathers.

As a result, a small plate appeared in front of Xiao Hei and was placed on the ground.

Xiao Hei turned his head and saw Ms. Yu Xiaoli, who had scooped out a fried egg and placed it on a plate, saying, "Here's one if you want to eat it, just don't make a mess of it."

After saying that, he patted Xiao Hei's head and quickly accepted that this crow's intelligence was on par with Tang Xiao Kui's, and that they communicated in a way that was completely like interacting with a human.

Xiao Hei looked at the fried egg, then at Yu Xiaoli, and cackled twice.

"thanks, thanks!"

"thanks, thanks!"

The continuous, uncontrollable flapping of its wings showed how extremely happy Little Black was.

Zhai Da found it amusing; his mother really knew how to subtly manipulate Xiao Hei.

------

The arrival of Yu Xiaoli and Tang Xiaokui brought Shenzhou Zundi to life. Zhai Da and Lu Wei were busy traveling between various examination venues every day, but they always made sure to go home for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Besides cooking, Yu Xiaoli was also busy. Sometimes she would take Tang Xiaokui grocery shopping, and sometimes she would go to Harbin Institute of Technology for a stroll.

Zhai Da said the company has cars and drivers, and if she wanted someone to take her to see the surrounding scenic spots, Yu Xiaoli said that two months wasn't a rush, and they could find time together after he and Lu Wei finished their exams.

The two-week exam week is gradually coming to an end, and some lucky students at Harbin Institute of Technology have started to go home early for the holidays. However, most of these older students don't seem to learn their lesson, and the earlier they go home, the sooner they will be disliked.

During this period, the "Mechanical Core Research Institute" operated normally. The overall plan to complete the final optimization in July and hold a press conference in August remained unchanged. Meanwhile, ZTE, Tianyu, and Coolpad had each sent people to conduct inspections.

It also includes two mobile phone manufacturers that Zhai Dacai could only recall from their names: Malata and Gionee. They probably heard the news from within the industry.

To be honest, Zhai Da disliked this kind of "inefficient inspection." He didn't have time to receive guests, and the research institute was full of technical personnel. If they didn't come with "substantial content," it would be a waste of time.

This isn't a question of whether or not there's a reception department. Even if you have a song and dance troupe, things are still not quite right. As the news spreads, we're currently in a high-frequency period of "mutual probing."

All the talks were superficial, and only a few companies have the boldness to do things like Meizu.

However, it is clear that various mobile phone manufacturers are still very interested in the operating systems emerging in China. The concept of "smartphone" has been around for many years, but there is still no product in the industry that truly sets the standard, including last year's Android HTC and Apple 3.

The leading edge demonstrated by Hongtu OS is indeed remarkable. It is obviously easier to cooperate with domestic companies than with foreign ones. No wonder these companies, whether they have the chance or not, come and take a look.

It's just the cost of a few plane tickets.

Let's see what's going on with these "college students"!

However, on June 23, a major member is finally arriving.

Lu Qinjian, the second-in-command at the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

A delegation comprised of representatives from seven key companies will arrive in Harbin.

Let's see what's going on at this research institute!
