Parrot Aoi and Raven Ado

On Saturday, Meixue's little cousin celebrated his birthday today. After school in the afternoon, Cheng Yi and his wife drove to the kindergarten to pick up their daughter, and took her to the children's birthday party.

It was rare to have an afternoon free. After getting off work at the hotel at three o'clock normally, Aoi flew home directly.

In the yard, Grandpa Hayakawa is taking care of the newly transplanted roses, which were given to him by his chess friend Mr. Fukuda.

As a symbol of the friendship between the two old people, Grandpa Hayakawa took great care of these roses, and only hoped that they would take root and bloom soon, and then friends would come over to enjoy the flowers and drink tea, and play a few games by the way.

Shiba Inu and Xiao Shiba are still faithfully following him, following his master's footsteps not far or near, concentrating all his attention on his master, when Grandpa Hayakawa occasionally turns around to look at it, Xiao Chai will wag his tail and give his master a cute head tilt.

At this time, Grandpa Hayakawa's always serious black face would involuntarily show a smile, but soon the old man would put on the majestic look of the head of the family again.

He coughed lightly and said to the Shiba Inu with a stern expression but a loving tone: "Xiao Shiba, you are a boy, how can you act like a spoiled dog like other dogs? The Shiba Inu just wants to run and be fierce."

Shiba Inu, the youngest of the pets, can't fully understand the meaning of the owner's words, but this does not prevent it from hearing the pampering in the owner's words.

After vigorously shaking the fur tail curled up on his back a few times, Xiao Chai jumped into the arms of his master.

And the old Mr. Hayakawa, who was still speaking righteously just now, saw that there was no one around, and finally couldn't hold back that serious face, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth to touch the Shiba Inu's head with his hands.

The sunflower parrot, flying in the sky and having a panoramic view of everything, wisely didn't fall down directly. The clever Aoi knew that the old master was actually a nice person, but he was the only son in the family. His father left early, and he supported the family business alone for many years. Shang Hai Working hard with the ups and downs of personnel, I have to arm myself so that I can protect my family and ancestral property, and I get used to it over time.

In fact, in private, the old owner is a very kind-hearted person. The three pets of the Hayakawa family, except for Xiaoshiba, the other two, including Aoi, were all brought home by the old owner.

The sunflower parrot was thinking this way and saw that the old cat at home, A Fu, moved its already fat body, and walked out of the house step by step.

A Fu is a very common pastoral cat here. Except for a large piece of yellow back hair on the back, the other parts are small white short hairs.

It was a stray cat picked up by Grandpa Hayakawa from outside. It was snowing heavily outside, and the very young cat was hiding in the corner of the automatic gate of the hotel, shivering from the cold.

Grandpa Hayakawa, who had just got off work at that time, saw it, picked it up and put it in the big pocket of his down jacket, and took it home.

Although when the cat was handed over to his wife, the old owner said: "A wild cat picked up outside, anyway, there is no shortage of food at home, so let's raise it first, and it can help when it grows up. Catching mice or something."

The tone seemed to be distasteful, but the old owner looked at the cat boy with a very gentle look, and even the name Ah Fu was chosen by the old owner for him.

Even though Ah Fu, who grew up later, was not so good at catching mice, and always broke into troubles and smashed things at home when he was naughty, the old master who was the head of the family punished him most severely, just scolding him with his fur , or punish it to face the wall alone to reflect, but it has never hurt Ah Fu, let alone using the pets at home as a punching bag.

Therefore, even if he is a little afraid of the serious old master in his heart, Ah Fu is still very willing to get close to Grandpa Hayakawa.

Seeing Xiao Chai playing like a baby in the arms of the old master, Ah Fu was very envious. He moved his fleshy body and forced to squeeze past.

The two furries in the family came together to act like a baby, touching and hugging, and Mr. Hayakawa, who had to take care of the left side and the right side, quickly became flustered.

Ah Kui, who had been hovering in the sky for a long time, couldn't help falling down when she saw this. She stood on the handrail of the wooden corridor outside the room, raised her paw and scratched her chin leisurely, while looking at the disregarded The old master snickered.

Yayoi Hayakawa, who was getting more and more overwhelmed by the fluffy fluff, saw the cockatoo's eyes light up, and forced herself to say: "Aoi, don't poke your head over there, hurry up and come over to help, take Xiaochai Get away from Alfred."

As the oldest and smartest pet in the family, Aoi has the demeanor of an elder who has spent the longest time with humans.

Both A Fu and Xiao Chai grew up under A Kui's teaching, and calling Uncle Kui is not for nothing.

Hearing this, the cockatoo standing on the wooden handrail swayed the crest on its head, then flew over slowly, landed on Xiaochai's head, and at the same time pushed the round cat Afu away.

"Ahem, Xiaochai, get out of the way~, Ah Fu, over there at the foot of the mountain, Mouse, go and have a look~."

Even though he has a strong learning ability, Aoi is a bird after all. It is impossible for him to speak long and logical sentences in human language. Short sentences and phrases are Aoi’s way of communicating with humans in his daily life. The most common means.

But excluding human language, Aoi is much smarter when he only communicates with animals.

After carrying out the old master's order, the sunflower parrot flew in the sky and screamed hoarsely, wah~~wah~ Yayoi Hayakawa couldn't help rubbing her ears.

After hearing its cry, the old cat Afu shook his fur and walked out calmly. He is the mouse catcher of the Hayakawa family, and it is his duty to ensure that there are no such things as mice on the land of the Hayakawa family.

Compared with catching this round garden cat, he actually prefers to take precautions before it happens, so whenever there are traces of mice nearby, whether it is on Hayakawa's land or not, he will go and take a look.

Well, according to Uncle Kui's teaching, this is called defending the enemy thousands of miles away.

Compared with Ah Fu's calmness, Xiao Chai was a little confused. He didn't understand why Uncle Kui didn't let him pounce on his master casually. Obviously, the master also liked to hold him in his arms.

Seeing Shiba Inu's confused little eyes, Aoi knew what the other party was thinking, and said in his hoarse voice: "Xiao Shiba, idiot~, I don't even look at how heavy I am, I'm still throwing on more than 50 catties~."

For the skinny Grandpa Hayakawa, even if the Shiba Inu is a medium-sized dog, he has to be very careful when he pounces on it, especially Xiao Shiba has been fed so well by him, and his weight has begun to become heavier.

Xiao Chai Sanjiao who understood the meaning immediately dropped his ears, sobbed a few times and lay down on the ground, his eyes were extremely wronged.

Wang, Uncle Kui is right, Wang is too heavy to pounce any more.

Huh~~ Last time, the owner of the little sister also said that Wang's body is too fat, and he didn't let Wang go to smell the little sister she was holding.

Seeing Shiba Inu being wronged, Grandpa Hayakawa felt distressed again. He squatted down and stroked the dog's head and said, "Stop barking, isn't it just that you are getting fatter? I will run with you tomorrow."

While he was talking, a small coffee-colored car slowly drove into the yard. After the car stopped, Hayakawa Cheng and his family of three, who were going out to attend a children's birthday party, opened the door and walked out.

Holding the small cake brought back for Miyuki, Cheng Yi looked at the Shiba Inu lying in the yard and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong with Xiao Shiba? Why does he look so depressed? By the way, how did the result of taking Xiao Shiba on a blind date yesterday? Is there anyone that Xiao Chai likes?"

The Shiba Inu is very popular in China, so people who have dogs often look for dogs with good pedigree and appearance to marry each other.

Xiao Chai is a male Shiba Inu with excellent pedigree, so someone from a dog dating meeting came to him last year, but his father thought that Xiao Chai, who was less than three years old at the time, was too young to agree, so he agreed to take Xiao Chai to see it this year. watch.

Grandpa Hayakawa sighed and said: "Xiao Chai has his fancy, but the owner doesn't like our Xiao Chai."

"???, our Xiaochai is so good, why didn't he like it?"

After he finished saying this, the sunflower parrot flew up and yelled eccentrically above his head: "No vision~, no vision~."

Aoi's behavior is not just because of protecting his shortcomings, in his opinion, Xiao Shiba is a very good Shiba Inu.

According to the criteria for judging Shiba Inu, Xiao Shiba is not only in line with all of them, but also outstanding in everything. He was raised by a well-known kennel, and his pedigree is not bad. Such a dog is still unattractive. What kind of dog do you want?

Grandpa Hayakawa, who was stroking Shiba Inu's head, patted Xiaoshiba's listless head and said, "People think that our Xiaoshiba is too fat, saying that being overweight is not good for the next generation."

Everyone was silent for a while, and several pairs of eyes were fixed on Xiao Chai at the same time, looking at the dog's thick limbs and strong chest and back, they didn't know what to say for a while.

After a long while, Ah Kui still said wow: "Not fat, strong, those people, strong words are unreasonable~~."

"Uncle Kui is right. Dogs need to be strong to look safe." Xiao Meixue, who is only in kindergarten, also expressed her point of view.

"Hearing that there is no Xiaochai, cheer up, we will go for a run tomorrow."

.........

Under everyone's comfort, the Shiba Inu, who had been listless, finally got better, sticking out his tongue and curling his tail, wiggling to rub against his old owner.

Seeing that the Shiba Inu was full of energy, Grandpa Hayakawa led it into the house with satisfaction, Chengyi's family and Aoi followed behind him, and halfway through the road, Hayakawa Chengichi said suddenly: "Hey, look at my memory. Aoi, In the afternoon, I received a notice from the parrot homeland, and tomorrow morning there will be a parrot blind date meeting as usual, are you going or not?"

There are quite a lot of people in the county who keep parrots as pets. In order to facilitate communication, a non-governmental organization was specially set up, and the name is Parrot House.

Every spring when the breeding/breeding season of birds arrives, the Parrot House will find time to hold a social gathering to match their pets.

As a veteran who has raised parrots for more than [-] years, Hayakawa Chengichi is a veteran member of the Parrot House, and Aoi has been dating since she was an adult.

It’s just that due to various reasons, it hasn’t been able to get out of the order until now. The bumpy blind date road of more than 20 years is full of tears...
