Chapter 57: Assorted Sparrows
After listening to Chen Dabao's description, Chen Afu was even more certain that the little girl named Sister Yan had autism as described in her previous life. But it’s not too serious, I just have a language barrier, slow reaction times, and can’t communicate with others. With proper correction and medication, it can be cured.
In Chen Afu's previous life, a colleague's child had autism. The doctor said that fortunately it was not serious and there was a possibility of improvement. Her colleague even quit his job to be with his children. Later she heard that the child really got better and went to school.
But the child named Yan'er is pitiful. She has this disease but does not have her mother's constant care. If that "uncle" was her father, he would definitely not be able to stay with her all the time. Her grandmother is a monk and cannot always accompany her.
However, maybe she is also blessed to be attracted by Golden Swallow, and to be able to make Golden Swallow love her. However, if she wants to see the golden swallows again, she will have to wait until next spring.
Chen Afu thought about making a smiling golden swallow doll for her. As long as she was better, people around her would not miss Dabao and Jinbao.
Chen Afu is very familiar with the golden swallow and has seen its smile, so the doll should be similar to the smiling swallow that the little girl saw.
She made the little swallow doll for more than an hour, and she didn't even go over to make dinner.
It has a long tail like scissors, beautiful blue wings and back, a moon-white belly, a blue and white chest, and a red circle on Little Blue's head. The eyes are curved, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, the pointed brown mouth is half open, and there is a small pink tongue inside.
The little doll looked like a swallow smiling at people.
It was so rare that Dabao and Alu rushed to see it.
Mrs. Wang took it over to look at it and smiled, "Ah Fu's thinking is just a coincidence. Swallows can still smile, and their smiles are so endearing."
Golden Swallow came back before dark.
After the meal, Chen Afu and his family were sitting in the east room of the old courtyard. Chen Ming was teaching Alu, Dabao and Chen Afu how to read. Qiqi and Huihui crowded around Chen Afu, occasionally chanting a sentence or two, and Zhui Feng climbed on her lap. Ms. Wang no longer does sewing at night, but looks at her husband, children and grandchildren and smiles.
Suddenly, I saw four birds flying into the hut from the window. The golden swallow took the lead, followed by three little birds.
As soon as Jin Yanzi came back, Zhui Feng jumped off Chen Afu's body and jumped out.
Of those three little birds, two of them looked the same, but their calls were melodious. Chen Ming said it was a lark.
Another bird, a little bigger than a sparrow, has gorgeous and colorful feathers, with at least ten colors. Even under the dim oil lamp, you can see that the feathers are shiny and brilliant like brocade.
Oh my God, this is the first time for everyone to see such a beautiful bird. It is more beautiful than the kingfisher we brought back last time, and much more beautiful than Qiqi. Although Qiqi's feathers are beautiful, they are bright red and green, which is particularly rich.
And this bird, like a fairy among birds, is beautiful and refined. The cry is also very melodious and melodious. The sound is not loud, but it makes people feel comfortable to hear it.
It is pleasing to the eye and very appropriate to use on this bird.
Chen Ming and others didn't know what kind of bird it was.
Golden Swallow chirped, "Put them in a cage quickly. They are not as smart as Qiqi Huihui. If they run out, they will not be able to find their way home."
Chen Afu quickly went to the new yard to get two birdcages, put the beautiful bird into the small cage, and put the two larks into the big cage.
The golden swallow hung on Chen Afu's lapel again and murmured, "That skylark bird is for sister Yan'er. Although the little sister is small, she understands appreciation and is pitiful. When I'm not here, I let the skylark bird play with her. Those two The larks stay at home, hanging under the eaves outside Mommy’s window. People are too lonely in space, and when they hear them singing, they feel like they are still in the forest, and life is not that difficult. "
It turns out that the bird is called the Skylark, and the name is quite appropriate.
Chen Afu touched Jin Yanzi's little head and nodded. He said to Chen Ming and others, "This little bird is extraordinary at first glance. Give it to the girl in Tangyuan. With the company of this bird, maybe she won't be so sad. People will no longer miss Dabao and Jinbao.”
The others nodded and said hello. Although they also like this beautiful little bird, they are willing to offer this little bird if it can make the people in Tangyuan stop thinking about Dabao and the others.
Chen Dabao looked at the little bird and said, "This little bird is as beautiful as sister Yan'er. Giving it to her is like giving a sword to a hero."
It made several people laugh. Chen Afu also said of him, "Throwing plates in the latrine - stinky porcelain jumping around."
Chen Ming also smiled and said, "Miss Chu is a girl, so I would like to give red powder to beauties."
Chen Dabao felt ashamed again and said with a smile, "I will definitely study hard and never slack off from now on."
Chen Afu went to the kitchen and took out the pearl balls for Golden Swallow to eat. Its belly was small, so the two of them were full. The rest are cheap and big-bellied.
Before midnight, the sad Golden Swallow went to space. Chen Afu accompanied it in, originally thinking that he would spend more time with it to comfort its injured little heart. Unexpectedly, it only felt sad for a moment and then immediately started building a house.
It seems that no matter whether it is a person or an animal, as long as the life is full, there will be no extra time to mourn the spring and the autumn.
Chen Afu laughed and left the space again.
The next morning, Chen Dabao didn't see Jin Yanzi when he got up, so he asked, "Mom, did Jin Yanzi go to the forest again?"
Chen Afu shook his head and said, "It should go to the south. Mother just saw it fly into a flock of swallows flying from north to south."
Chen Dabao felt uncomfortable after hearing this, and tears came out. He even hummed and groaned, and even clung to Chen Afu to eat in the old yard.
When he heard that Jinbao flew to the south, Alu's eyes were red, and Chen Ming and Wang also sighed. They all said, "I have been with Jinbao for so long, I really can't bear to let it go."
Everyone sighed and ate this breakfast, and it was tasteless.
After dinner, Chen Dabao went back to the room to write big characters. When reading and recognizing characters, Dabao and Alu would let Chen Ming teach them. But when writing, they practiced quietly in their own rooms.
Chen Afu went to feed Qiqi and Huihui, and the two little guys also hummed and groaned, crawling in the bird basket and unable to get up.
Dabao pouted and said, "It must be because Jinbao left that they are not happy either."
Only Zhuifeng was so happy that he jumped up and down, howling in the yard like a madman. Perhaps he still hasn't forgotten how humiliated he was by Jinyanzi, with his legs tied up and hung back in the rain.
Chen Afu fed the three new birds and went to the backyard to feed the chickens, and then she heard someone knocking on the door.
She opened the door and saw that it was Luo, the manager who came yesterday.
