"I want to tell Mr. Li that we can raise a bird because we have a big house. The bird will like it," Xi Xi said expectantly.
Lu Xiaoyu sighed regretfully and said, "My house can't do that. My dad won't let me raise a pet."
"But if the bird lives in our house, you can also come to my house to play! That way, you can see the bird! " Xi Xi enthusiastically helped her friend think of a solution, as if she had already brought the injured bird home.
Although Lan Xin was also curious about the bird, she wasn't that excited. She sat calmly in her chair, looking at Xi Xi and Lu Xiaoyu for a while. Her head was also spinning. Finally, she waited for a break in the conversation between Xi Xi and Lu Xiaoyu. She hit the nail on the head and asked, "But, Xi Xi, you already have three cats at home. How can you raise a bird?"
The joy on Xi Xi's face froze. The little girl frowned slightly, thinking about Lan Xin's words.
"Yes!" Lu Xiaoyu's reaction was more direct. Because she wasn't the one who wanted to raise a bird, she exclaimed, "I've seen on TV. Cats will catch birds to eat!"
Xi Xi also knew, so the little girl was now very confused. She muttered, "But, but, we can raise the bird in a cage … We used to raise little goldfish at home, and nothing happened …"
If Yang Yi was here to hear this, he would definitely cover his face with his hands. A string of inner monologues would appear on his forehead. Daughter, you don't know. It's not that your little goldfish is fine … It's that you think it's fine …
Of course, Xi Xi and her friends didn't have a chance to discuss it now, because the first class had started. The math teacher, Liu Xuanxuan, had already walked in from outside with a textbook under his arm.
Xi Xi and Lu Xiaoyu hurriedly put the cleaning tools in their hands at the back of the classroom, and then hurriedly sat back in their seats.
They couldn't act too naughty. If they did, the teacher wouldn't like it, and they wouldn't have the chance to take care of the injured bird.
…
The language class was in the third period, but when the first period ended, Xi Xi and the others couldn't help but go to the teacher's office to "visit" the injured bird.
"Is it really that beautiful?" Du Yuqian asked curiously on the way.
"It's true, it's true. It's just like the chick my grandpa raises, but the chick is bigger and yellow. It's smaller and cuter!" Xi Xi turned sideways and skipped forward, excitedly describing to her little friend.
However, they did not expect that this injured bird had already become the star "character" of the first-grade teachers' office. When they entered, they saw many teachers standing beside Li Ruolan's desk, talking and laughing. Beside them, there were also some subject representatives who had come to hand in their homework to join in the fun.
"So many people …" Xi Xi immediately felt a sense of crisis and looked at those people nervously.
When they squeezed in, Xi Xi saw that the injured bird had already moved into a small wire birdcage.
"Yang Xi, Lan Xin, Lu Xiaoyu. Eh, Du Yuqian is here too?" Li Ruolan saw the four girls and smiled. "Are you here to see the bird?"
Xi Xi and the others quickly nodded.
Li Ruolan smiled and said, "Don't worry. Teacher Zhao brought a birdcage over just now. Now it has a place to live."
"Then, then teacher, what does the bird eat? Is it very hungry now? " Du Yuqian and Lan Xin were both staring at the bird that they had never seen before. Instead, it was Lu Xiaoyu who asked in a low voice.
"Just now, a teacher gave some bread crumbs. Look, it's in the small basin in its cage. But it doesn't dare to eat yet. It's probably still a little afraid of strangers." Li Ruolan pointed at the trembling bird in the middle of the cage and smiled.
"But don't birds eat small worms?" Xi Xi's two small hands clung to the edge of the teacher's desk and asked in confusion.
"It eats a lot of things. Bread can be eaten, and so can bread worms. By the way, I just asked a natural science teacher who knows more about these things. This is a common bird in Jiangcheng. It's called the brown-headed crow, "Li Ruolan said with a smile.
Xi Xi's big bright eyes blinked. She suddenly had an idea and said happily, "Teacher, I know. We can call it Xiao Ya!"
Xi Xi didn't care what the bird's scientific name was. To a girl of this age, whether it was a crow, a sparrow, or a brown-headed crow, they were all birds. There was no difference. Moreover, she felt that calling it Xiao Ya sounded better!
"Hey, can you guys wait a moment?" Du Yuqian said anxiously, "Teacher, what's the bread worm you mentioned? Will bread grow worms? Then I won't dare to eat bread in the future! "
…
The break between classes was very short, and Xixi and the others had to go back to class very soon. After that, they endured until the third class before they saw Teacher Li Ruolan carrying a birdcage and bringing "Xiao Ya" into the classroom.
"Bird!" Whether it was the children who had seen the bird before, the children who had only heard about it from the former, or the children who had only seen the bird now, they all cried out excitedly.
Suddenly, the classroom was as lively as a market!
It was only after the bell rang that they barely suppressed their excitement and quieted down.
"Students, I believe you have heard about this bird. It was this morning …" Li Ruolan smiled and introduced the bird to the students from the time it was discovered to the present situation. Then, she turned around and wrote four words on the blackboard.
"Brown-headed crow, this is a bird that is mainly distributed in our country. It's also relatively common in Jiangcheng. What does it eat? Actually, it's an omnivore. It usually eats beetles, insect eggs, or smaller insects. It also eats some fruits or seeds of plants. Of course, now that it's injured and can't fly to hunt by itself, we can also feed it fine corn flour or bird feed. Some fruits are also okay. It can peck at them by itself. " Li Ruolan explained so much without stopping. Of course, it was not because she was familiar with this bird, but because she secretly took a few glances at a guide on the podium. It was written for her by her teacher in the natural science class.
When Li Ruolan was explaining seriously, the other children listened with their little mouths open. However, Xi Xi was very serious about taking notes in her little notebook.
When the teacher mentioned that the bird ate fruits, the children raised their hands and said enthusiastically, "I have an Apple!"
"I have a snow pear!"
"I have a yellow peach!"
They fought over it as if they wanted to share their lunch fruit with the bird!
"Seeing that all of you are so enthusiastic about this bird, the teacher is very touched. "Li Ruolan pressed her hands together, indicating for them to stop arguing. She smiled and said," So, this time, the teacher has decided to give all of you, the students of the first grade, class three, a glorious and arduous task! "
Hearing this, Wang Leilei, who was more upright below the stage, had already puffed out his chest and listened attentively.
"The teacher hopes that everyone will take care of this bird together. Oh right, when the first class ended, Yang Xi even named it Xiao Ya. The teacher left Xiao Ya in the classroom and asked everyone to take care of it, feed it, and accompany it to recuperate." Li Ruolan's voice was filled with tenderness and passion, echoing in the classroom. Finally, she said, "Then, when its wings are healed, we will send it back to nature together so that it can fly freely and return to the sky where it belongs, okay?"
Xi Xi was very happy at first because the teacher had used her name for Xiao Ya, but later on, she was disappointed. She couldn't raise Xiao Ya at home!
Originally, the little girl had already made beautiful plans for the bird's life in her house. She could ask her father to build a beautiful nest for it, and then when she went to exercise with her father in the morning, she could take it to see the scenery and bask in the sun … …
But now, these beautiful ideas could not be realized because the teacher did not agree to let her bring Xiao Ya home.
However, Xi Xi quickly recovered from her disappointment because she realized that although she did not get Xiao Ya, she did not lose Xiao Ya either!
Xiao Ya lived in the class, so Xi Xi could often see Xiao Ya!
And this was also good because she did not have to worry about the three cats at home eating Xiao Ya. There were no cats in the class — although there was a robot cat drawn on the blackboard at the back, it only liked to eat Tongluo Yaki.
"I have to ask PaPa to see what Xiao Ya needs, whether she wants to see a doctor, whether she wants to cover herself with a blanket …" Xi Xi's little head was spinning rapidly, and the little girl's expression became positive again.
Right now, the teacher was on the podium, collecting the list of students who were mainly responsible for taking care of the bird. The other students also had to help, but the main responsibility was still the students of this care group.
They had to divide the responsibilities so that the little guys would not only have 30% of the enthusiasm. Moreover, with a sense of responsibility and the right arrangements, this bird could be continuously taken care of.
"Yang Xi, are you willing to be a member of the care group to take care of Xiao Ya?" Li Ruolan asked. She knew that Xi Xi liked this bird very much, but at this time, the little girl seemed to be a little distracted, so she asked directly.
"Yes, yes! "Xi Xi stood up happily. The little girl puffed out her small chest and nodded seriously. She said," I will definitely take good care of Xiao Ya! "
