Ye Hongjuan thought: Is the myna a stranger? She took out a small wine cup from the cabinet, put a few chopped sausages in it, then opened the small door of the birdcage and stuffed it in, and then closed the small cage door. .
She stepped aside, and saw the myna pecked it with its sharp beak that still had some yellow edges. It had already held the pieces of a sausage in its mouth. Before swallowing, it spat it out again and dropped it on the bottom of the cage. , and fell to the ground from the gap between the bamboo strips at the bottom of the cage.
Long Dafa was sitting on the sofa smoking. He saw his wife feeding sausage crumbs to the myna. He said with a smile that the myna only eats fish, shrimps, insects, etc. It is impossible for him to eat sausages!
Ye Hongjuan suddenly remembered that when she was a child, she saw her uncle Yao raising a baby starling in a cage in the countryside. It was indeed fed fish, shrimp and insects.
Later, the myna no longer needed to be kept in a cage. It developed a relationship with Uncle Yao and the whole village. It came out of the cage to look for food during the day. It always loved to be with people and was not afraid of the people in the village. It knows that no one will intentionally harm it.
But one time, Yao Niang went to the ground to weed, and myna followed her around, looking for bugs in the soil. Often when she hoeed, there would be a few small flesh bugs in the soil dug up from the ground. Myna liked it. When it came to eating, it also had sharp eyes and a quick mouth, so it pecked at once.
God does not choose the wind and clouds, just like all living beings, even insects are not spared.
That time, Yaoniang didn't pay attention, so she dug down with a hoe, and the myna who jumped over to peck at the bugs had its neck broken. Its eyes looked at Yaoniang, not sure whether it was resentment, or cherishing the world, but also seemed to want to see someone. It was as if he was willing to close his eyes only when he saw Yao Shu, so he didn't close his eyes for a long time.
Finally, when Uncle Yao came, it was willing to close its eyes. Uncle Yao buried myna's body on a hill and observed three minutes of silence at its grave, treating it like a deceased friend. He also said with a heavy heart, poor myna, I am preparing to trim your tongue so that you can speak human language like a parrot and communicate with me verbally, but you...
At this point, Yao Shu had tears in his eyes, and he said in a straight voice, "Unfortunate Bago, I really feel sorry for you." Wish you good luck on your journey!
On the day when Bage was buried, Ye Hongjuan was still a snot-nosed person. She stood on the edge of the hill, only a few feet away from Yao Shu, so she knew Yao Shu's actions and words clearly, and they are still unforgettable to this day.
At this time, she said to her husband, Dafa, why don’t you bring some fish and shrimps back to the fishing ground to feed the starlings?
I forgot. Long Dafa stood up from the sofa and said, "There are a lot of fish and shrimps. I will make a call right away and ask Liangshan to catch some fish and shrimps. I will go to the fishing ground and bring them back later."
When Ye Hongjuan saw that Long Dafa had called, she did not get up immediately and go to the fishing ground. Instead, she lay on the sofa and fell asleep. Even though the myna was squawking in the cage, it didn't affect his sleepiness, and he even started snoring.
After about half an hour, Ye Hongjuan couldn't bear it anymore. She wanted to quickly get fish and shrimps to feed the myna, so she pushed her husband awake and urged him to go to the fishing ground quickly.
When he got up, he received a call. The government of Shashi Town, where his fishing ground was located, informed him to get a declaration form for the top ten entrepreneurs, so he had to give up his plan to go to the fishing ground.
Ye Hongjuan smiled bitterly, looked at her husband and said, it's really better to change the plan. She tugged at her husband's lapel and emphasized, "Let's do this!" When you received a watch in town, you dropped by the fishing ground and brought back the fish and shrimps Liangshan caught for us.
Long Dafa picked up the comb and was combing his hair. Every time he went out to meet some prominent people or went to more formal occasions, he had to trim his hair.
At this moment, he was combing his hair in front of the mirror, and said casually, "That's not sure. I might have a meeting or other delays when I go to town, so don't count on me."
Ye Hongjuan waved her hand and said forget it, forget it. When Long Dafa just went out, she also went out carrying the birdcage containing the myna, and took the bus directly to the Xicheng Market to buy small fish and shrimps.
Ye Hongjuan weighed a pound of small fish and shrimp in front of an aquatic product stall. She squatted under a camphor tree on the roadside and kept feeding the myna in the cage until the myna stopped pecking and turned around, leaving her alone. Until you can face the tail.
After Long Dafa went to the Shashi Town Government to receive a top ten entrepreneur declaration form, he filled it out at that time. The second process is to enter the selection stage. On the fourth day, 30 business owners will participate in the selection, and only 10 places are available. The selection location is at the town government auditorium.
In the morning, more than 100 representatives of cadres and masses gathered to vote by secret ballot.
Before the selection, some voters said, I will vote for you. You have become the top ten entrepreneurs, but you want to treat us to a fish feast.
Long Dafa said happily, I am the owner of the fishery. If I treat you to fish, isn’t it just like the purser drinking boiled water?
Some town cadres said that if you were selected into the top ten, you should make us happy too. Long Da asked how he could be happy, and the answer was to let us go fishing in your fishing ground. Of course, you don't have to worry. If we catch the big fish you stocked, we will pay by the pound. If you catch wild fish such as crucian carp, you can share the profits!
This was before the noisy selection meeting. Long Dafa stroked the new crimson suit he was wearing and answered with a smile, "That's easy to say, that's easy to say." I need your attention now. But the selection began. After secret voting and counting, the final result written on the blackboard was that Long Dafa received 34 votes and lost the election. Long Dafa felt very embarrassed and left the venue in frustration.
Long Dafa walked to the town and thought: It doesn't matter if he is rated as one of the top ten entrepreneurs, but there is always an inexplicable irritability that makes him feel depressed and unable to be happy.
He planned to go to the tavern and get a few drinks from it, so that he could forget about it. But as soon as he approached a Qiweixian restaurant, he was waved to and stopped by a man at the entrance of the alley.
It was a fortune teller. There was a large piece of yellow cloth spread out in front of the fortune teller. The upper part was painted with clear black and white diagrams of yin and yang, fish and eight trigrams, and the lower part was marked with rows of small characters, which were roughly about Feng Shui, divination and fortune telling. content.
Long Dafa was not interested in this and was about to leave when he was attracted by a couplet on both sides of the yellow cloth. He recited the couplet silently: to remind the heroes who have been trapped for a long time and to guide the lost sentient beings. Then he naturally thought of his failure to participate in the selection of the top ten entrepreneurs. He asked the fortune teller somewhat arrogantly, do you think I am a hero who has been in trouble for a long time?
The little eyes on the thin face of the fortune teller moved around and said, "A phoenix falling into the water is not as good as a chicken. So what if you are a hero who has been trapped for a long time?" You have lost now.
Long Dafa was startled and thought to himself: How did he know that I failed? Does he know that I failed to be selected as one of the top ten entrepreneurs?
Long Dafa pretended to be calm and choked him. Aren't I a good fortune teller? Why do I become a drowned phoenix inferior to a chicken in your eyes? Let me tell you, I never believe this.
The fortune teller sneered, and then said calmly, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Some things don't exist if you believe it, and they don't exist if you don't believe it. The reason why I stopped you is because you gave me a bad signal. I just want to give you some advice. You may believe it or not.
What do you mean? Long Dafa asked with wide eyes.
The fortune teller asked him to take off the new crimson suit he was wearing. He pointed at a pile of dried bird droppings that had turned yellow on his back collar and said, "Look, what is this?" This is a signal. Anyone with bird droppings on their body will have bad luck. Have you ever experienced it? Is everything going well or not?
Long Dafa looked at the bird droppings on his suit and really didn't know when it got on him. Suddenly it occurred to me that the myna in the birdcage hanging on the balcony at home might have pooped on me, and I didn't notice it.
Suddenly, he felt a hatred for the myna in his home. However, in front of the fortune teller, he did not tell this situation and only admitted that he had indeed been having a rough few days. In fact, what were "these few days"? He felt ashamed because he failed to be selected as one of the top ten entrepreneurs today.
