Chapter 112: Carrier Pigeon: A child with a mother is a treasure (6)
[My dear~ guess what my name is now?! ]
The starling tilted its head and blinked its small green eyes slowly, looking not very smart.
It hesitated for two seconds, then spoke——
【Soup! Soup! 】
Wang Xin: (?｀?Д?′)!!
Well, it’s a nice starling, but it has an unnecessary mouth.
【Cuckoo~】
I leaned against the warm radiator and tapped the table rhythmically with my sharp beak in response to the stinky bird.
He still can’t forget to stew soup. He really needs to be taught a lesson!
[Oh, I was just wondering, I seem to have forgotten something. It turns out I forgot to read a letter. Look how careless I am... Wang Xin, I must have been influenced by you.]
[Mom, this is unfair! I got 97 points in math in this monthly exam. How could I be careless?! ]
[Really?! I don't believe it, show me the test paper! Did you put a ball on top of the 1?!]
[Mom - if you mention the embarrassing things I did when I was a kid again, I will ignore you...]
Wang Xin frowned and put his hands on his hips, making a teapot shape. He wanted to poke his chubby fingers into his mother's mouth. His feet were firmly planted in place, with no intention of picking up the test paper.
Wang Fengying had already opened the letter and read the contents at a glance. She couldn't help but sigh.
A son is no longer under the control of his mother when he grows up. Even though Li Pandi wholeheartedly sent all the money to his son, the boy refused to accept it at all.
Ever since he found out that the money transfer had lasted for three years, he didn't even want to stay in this courtyard.
The two people's working hours do not completely overlap. Wang Fengying only takes late-night snack orders from 5 pm to 3 am.
Guo Li works an average of 15 hours a day, and is even forced to log off to rest due to platform restrictions.
He worked as a courier for a month. The orders were fragmented, the distances were short and the prices were low. After the new employee protection period, the number of orders decreased significantly and his income dropped sharply.
Therefore, the quick-witted Guo Li started running around the core area of the city the next month, charging eight yuan per order within ten kilometers. The price seemed low, but there were more orders to choose from, and he won by quantity. Sometimes, if he was lucky, he could pick up orders along the way.
The core riders’ APP homepage is almost entirely filled with long-distance orders. Sometimes they take seven or eight orders at a time, and the routes span the east and west ends of Beijing. They have to change batteries several times along the way.
He rented an electric car with swappable batteries provided by the rental station. Although its speed was limited, it was of excellent quality and very durable.
The eighteen-year-old boy likes the feeling of riding an electric bike on the road, free and unrestrained.
The traffic police in Beijing are all very polite. They stop the riders every few days to check the condition of their vehicles and remind them of safety issues. Sometimes, if they are caught taking shortcuts, they will force the riders to give them a long ticket, which costs twenty or fifty yuan each.
There is nowhere to hide, so I can only accept it.
In the past two months, Guo Li and the mother and daughter have hardly met each other. Occasionally, Wang Fengying called them, and both sides only reported good news but not bad news. For example, last month, when she fell so badly, she didn't say a word.
Guo Li is a child who is used to keeping his thoughts to himself and never tells anyone. He has feelings but never shows them. This is completely different from the little fat boy in his family who can't hide anything.
A mother's child is a treasure.
A child who grew up with a stepmother has his own way of survival, and no one else can interfere.
【Cuckoo~】
Good Fengying, look at me, the pigeon. I am almost starving. Please give me something to eat. My stomach is just full of water. I am going to have hungry dreams for a while...
The pigeon was given to Li Pandi by Wang Fengying, so when she noticed the little thing anxiously digging around with its sharp beak, she knew it was hungry.
[Wang Xin, quickly bring the peanuts I bought the day before yesterday. Pigeons love to eat them! ]
【Cuckoo~】
【Hungry, hungry! 】
The starling who came to join in the fun also cried out that it was hungry, looking very timid, as if afraid that its favor would be taken away from it.
Wang Xin took out some peanuts, put a handful in front of the pigeon, and also put a few in the starling's food box.
He rolled his eyes, grinned, and brought a small cup of gray-green liquid from the kitchen.
[Hey, this is my favorite drink. Guests are welcome. Although my mom said you left our house...]
【Cuckoo~】
I picked up a peanut, which was much fresher than the corn kernels I had eaten earlier. I widened my eyes and sniffed the cup that was pushed in front of me.
Hmm, it tastes a bit strange, like over-fermented rotten water from deep in the sewer overnight.
I looked at the fat boy suspiciously. Was he trying to poison me so he could make soup for his starling?
[Take a sip. The stinkier something smells, the more delicious it tastes. I never lie!]
Wang Xin swore so confidently that he almost dragged his mother over to testify.
This is something that both mother and daughter love to drink. Every day after selling vegetables, Wang Fengying would bring back two or three cups, and sometimes she would even share a cup with her grandmother. Her grandmother’s legs and feet were not very good, so she was craving this drink…
【Cuckoo~】
I put my head into the cup half-believingly, then quickly turned my head to look at his big, blinking eyes.
Okay, I'll believe you for once. After all, I've eaten durian. The taste is so delicious that it's unforgettable. But it's too expensive.
Li Pandi had only bought that once in the past three years, and that was when the fruit shop owner ordered ten donkey meat hot buns and gave them away half-sold and half-given away.
I buried my head in the cup again, not noticing the gloating look of the starling on the bird stand outside the door.
Gulp————
咕？
yue……
What the hell is this? It tastes so bad.
I stuck out my tongue and rolled my eyes wildly, wishing I could dig my throat and spit out the two big mouthfuls of liquid I had just sucked in.
【Hahahahaha! 】
The little fat boy laughed so hard that he pounded the table.
Wang Fengying just took out the helmet and saw the miserable appearance of the pigeon, so she hit her son on the head twice!
[Don't make a fuss. It's so cold, and you're asking it to drink cold bean juice. What if it gets sick? ]
[Cuckoo——]
yue……
It's actually soybean juice ┭┮﹏┭┮
My eyes were filled with tears, and I paid a large sum of money for a digestive system that had never been exposed to soy milk.
I almost poked the tip of my wing into its sharp beak, and my stomach was churning.
I felt so miserable that I was half dead.
[Okay, I have to go to work. Don't agree to your dad's request, or I'll punish him later!]
[Okay, okay, Mom, please turn on the front and rear lights of the car, and be careful! ]
The little fat boy knew that he couldn't stop his stubborn mother, so he could only let her go.
It was already past six o'clock and the sky had already completely darkened, except for the snow on the roof opposite, which was still dazzlingly white.
Wang Xin carried the bird stand and the starling into the house. It was such a cold day, and after they froze outside all night, he would have no choice but to collect the starling's body.
The starling was hung next to the radiator, with wisps of mist rising from its body visible to the naked eye, and it moaned comfortably.
The gentle and enchanting sound of "Ah~" startled the two males present.
The fat boy poked his finger into the starling's lower abdomen. His mother had never taught him how to distinguish the gender of a bird, but in his impression, this starling was always quite tough and had a manly temper.
how? !
【Cuckoo~】
I climbed up from the table trembling and leaned over to take a look.
Wow, this slutty bitch is actually a real big sister!
The starling jumped in panic and flapped its wings violently!
【Soup! Soup! 】
