    After lunch, they sat in the yard and chatted, while Pang Xu walked back and forth, doing breast-expansion exercises to digest food.  After a while, his forehead was covered with sweat. As he walked, he kept shouting: "Damn it, really. I only know that these dates are very delicious, but I don't know how delicious it is to eat."  Too much will lead to accumulation of food"

    Looking at his image that was more resentful than Mrs. Xianglin's, several people were made to laugh. Xu Xiaoli even shouted that he deserved it, and if he continued to behave like this, he would no longer want him.

    "Chirp chirp" When Pang Xu arrived near the chicken coop, he suddenly heard several "chicken" calls.

    When he turned around, he saw several black "chickens" the size of a child's fist squawking in the chicken coop.

    "Little Mouse, your hen has hatched chicks, come and see" He shouted and immediately attracted several people, with excitement in their eyes.  Especially Zhang Qian, this was the first time for her to see such a scene.

    "What's that look? Is this a water duck?" Liu Junhao knew that this foodie's knowledge of birds was only chickens, ducks, geese, and pigeons, and he didn't know anything else, so he criticized him mercilessly.

    Counting the days, this water duck should hatch in these two days.

    "Water duck, you said this thing is a water duck," Pang Xu immediately squatted down and looked at these little guys at close range.  At this moment, he completely ignored the hen watching eagerly next to him, and saw that the feathers on the hen's body had completely exploded.

    "Well, these water duck eggs were picked up on the river beach a few days ago." Liu Junhao briefly explained their origin.

    "Isn't it true that my own laying hens are also hatching? The water ducks are obviously different from chicks when they grow up. Why don't the hens peck them to death when they see them?"

    "So far we have never met a hen as smart as you!" Liu Junhao's words made everyone laugh.

    "I thought it would be the day after tomorrow. Who knew it would hatch so early? It seems that there is a difference in the hatching time of wild ducks and domestic ducks." Professor Zhao also looked at these furry little guys and marveled.  said.

    "Don't be too judgmental, okay? The weather is hot now and the incubation period has been shortened. Domestic ducks now hatch in 25 or 25 days at most."

    "Wow, this thing is so cute. I want to keep one" Xu Xiaoli squatted down and reached out to touch the water duck that was chirping at the entrance of the chicken coop.

    "Be careful" Before Liu Junhao could shout out her words, she was already covering her hands with tears in her eyes.

    "Let me see, let me see, are you okay?" Pang Xu also hurriedly pulled her hand over, only to see a large red and swollen patch on her white and tender hand. He blew quickly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid.  It doesn¡¯t hurt!¡± His tone was like coaxing a child.

    "It doesn't hurt if you say it doesn't hurt. Just put your hand over and try." Xu Xiaoli gritted her teeth and said, her coquettish look more like a child.

    This made Zhang Qian burst into laughter at the side, "You two, please pay attention to your image, there are others here."

    Hearing what she said, Xu Xiaoli's face turned redder and she hurriedly broke away from her hand.

    "It's okay," Liu Junhao interrupted at this time, "At this time, the hen is particularly protective of its babies. Of course if you catch its babies, it will catch you. If you really want it, I will secretly catch two of them when you leave.  Let me feed it to you, but this thing is too small and not easy to feed."

    "No, this chicken is too disgusting," Xu Xiaoli said depressedly, holding her sore arm.

    In one noon, out of more than a dozen eggs, only the last one was left. It seemed that the hatching rate of this water duck was quite high.

    This group of little guys who have just hatched are all black and fluffy. They can¡¯t help but chirp around the old hen. They are probably hungry.

    The old hen no longer cared about the last egg at this time. She got out of the nest and led the little guys out of the coop with a "cuckoo" sound, and dug for food in the yard.

    Professor Zhao had already thrown a large piece of steamed bun on the ground, and the hen pecked it into pieces so that these little guys could eat it.

    "What should I do with this one?" Zhang Qian asked as she saw that there was only one egg left in the henhouse.

    "This is a chicken that hasn't been produced for 21 days - bad guy, you can roast it and eat it, right?" Pang Xu is a foodie after all, and he can't do without eating in just three sentences.  He was talking about the raw eggs sold at roadside barbecue stalls. They looked dirty. Liu Junhao had never eaten them anyway, so he always felt that they were unclean.

    "Throw it away. If you don't come out now, it's probably out of the question," Liu Junhao said.

    "Oh?" Zhang Qian reached into the chicken coop and took out the last egg, and then shouted in surprise: "This is not a bad guy, it is still moving I can feel it.Feel"

    "Really, let me touch it?" Liu Junhao stretched out his hand to take it. Sure enough, he felt the existence of a small life inside. He only heard a faint "tacking" sound coming from inside. It seemed that a water duck was pecking inside.  Shell, "This egg is bigger than the others. It's probably because the shell is too thick, so the water duck can't break it. You need to make a small crack in this egg, otherwise it will be starved of oxygen and suffocate inside after a while."  die."

    "I'll do it, I'll do it." Zhang Qian was also very curious about this kind of thing. She reached out and grabbed it, and then looked at Liu Junhao with some embarrassment. She didn't know how to start.

    "It's okay, have you seen the crack? Just use your nails to make a small hole. Be careful not to use too much force." Seeing the cautious look on this city girl's face, Liu Junhao just felt funny.  .

    He has lived in the countryside since he was a child, so he has been accustomed to hens hatching eggs, but Zhang Qian is different. This is the first time he has come into contact with this kind of thing, so his heart is filled with the desire to protect the little life in the palm of his hand.

    She carefully opened a small slit, and the small tender mouth of the water duck was immediately exposed. The little guy breathed in the fresh air and immediately made a weak "chirp" sound.

    Pang Xu was very interested at first, but after watching for a long time, he didn't see the water duck hatching. He suddenly felt a little bored and stood up and said, "It makes my eyes sore, so I might as well just peel the shell off. It's so easy."

    "This thing can only survive by breaking out of its shell." Professor Zhao corrected from behind.

    Zhang Qian, however, ignored what was going on outside the window. She squatted there and focused on looking at the eggs in her hands. Xu Xiaoli stayed with her at first, but after a while she lost her patience: "I'd better stop reading. I'm too tired from squatting."

    For several minutes, the small hole got bigger and bigger, and soon a wet little head emerged from the eggshell with difficulty. Zhang Qian breathed a sigh of relief and shouted excitedly, "Come and see."  , this little guy is out!"

    The crowd made up again, and saw a weak water duck in her palm, and she didn't even dry the hair. The tender black mouth couldn't hold it on her hand, which looked particularly interesting.

    "Feel me," Xu Xiaoli also became interested. Girls all like small animals, and of course she is no exception.

    "Then be careful, don't drop it on the ground." Zhang Qian was still a little reluctant.

    But the water duck seemed to be particularly disrespectful to Xu Xiaoli. As soon as it reached her hand, it pooped out, making everyone laugh again.  Xu Xiaoli gritted her teeth with hatred, blushed and handed the little guy into Zhang Qian's hand again.

    The little guy¡¯s hair dried quickly and he kept barking at Zhang Qian, obviously hungry.  Zhang Qian was busy making another small piece of steamed bun, crumbled it in her hand, sprinkled it in her hand and let it peck.

    Seeing her happily teasing the water duck in her hand, Liu Junhao quickly dissuaded her: "Don't play for too long. This thing has just hatched and its resistance is very weak. If you get lucky for too long, you won't be able to stand it."  Yes, let¡¯s send it to the hens.¡±

    After hearing this, Zhang Qian knelt down and put the water duck on the ground, pushed it and said, "Go back to your mother's place."

    But something shocking happened. As soon as she took a step back, the little duck followed her with a "chirp", and continued to take several steps back.

    Although the hen was only one meter away, the little guy still followed Zhang Qian. Wherever she went, the little guy followed.

    "This is Yin Sui," Professor Zhao explained, "an important form of learning for newborn animals. What this water duck sees when it opens its eyes is you, so it regards you as its 'mother'. This is a good thing.  Yeah, hehe"

    Zhang Qian was naturally overjoyed after hearing this, and kept throwing the crumbs of steamed buns in her hand in front of the little duck for it to eat. The little guy was probably full, and didn't even look at the food on the ground. Instead, he pecked Zhang Qian's fingers affectionately.

    This made Xu Xiaoli, who was watching on the sidelines, particularly jealous. She dragged Pang Xu and asked him to find a water duck egg for herself.
