Chapter 230: Heavy Responsibility

Listening to Sun Xiaomeng's popular science, Zhang Zian couldn't help thinking back to the old days. It seemed that his parents didn't like letting him touch the parrots sold in the store. Did they know that there were PBL allergic reactions and pneumonia? Unfortunately, it has not been verified as of today.

Sun Xiaomeng said: "I'm not talking about you. You, the owner of a pet shop, can't patronize to make money. You have to recharge your batteries as well. You must at least know some common sense like this."

What kind of common sense is this? Nima is unpopular, Zi An complained in his heart.

She looked at Richard, "You brought another gray parrot here, are you planning to sell parrots in addition to cats and dogs in the future? If there are families with filial sons who come to buy parrots, if you don't tell them the common sense If you sell the parrot, in case someone breeds silkworms, they will come to you."

Zhang Zian didn't have such thoughts at all, he said: "I really don't. I don't plan to sell parrots, at least not right now. As for this parrot, I got it to amuse myself."

But what she said makes sense. Even Zhang Zian doesn't know this kind of knowledge. I'm afraid not many pet store owners know it. Such stupidity.

As far as pets are concerned, dogs and cats are relatively safer. Medical measures such as epidemic prevention and deworming are already very mature, and diseases in dogs and cats are not generally transmitted to humans.

Bird pets are relatively more dangerous, and bird infections are often zoonotic. Leaving aside the frequent outbreaks of avian flu, the psittacosis is hard to guard against, and once a human is infected, it may even cause life-threatening.

Sun Xiaomeng stared at him, wondering if he was telling the truth, but she knew that Zhang Zian was too thick-skinned, even if it was a lie, it was almost as true.

"No, I'm just reminding you kindly. With the area on the first floor of your shop, it is the limit to keep at most ten medium-sized parrots or pigeons. With the doors and windows closed, the indoor PM2.5 The concentration can reach around 200, which is close to serious pollution," she said.

"So powerful?" Zhang Zian was dumbfounded.

"What do you think?" She asked back, "Didn't you see that those pigeon breeders generally keep their pigeons on the outdoor roof or balcony? Pigeons and parrots drop a lot of dust feathers every day, and long-term inhalation of these, even if it does not trigger PBL allergic reactions , will also be harmful to the respiratory system, similar to pneumoconiosis, but less severe. It’s okay to raise parrots, after all, generally speaking, only one or two parrots are raised, unlike pigeons who often raise a large group.”

Guo Dongyue sighed, "It's a pity that my mother and I didn't know it at the time. It was winter at that time, and the doors and windows were tightly closed every day. No wonder I would be infected."

"Speak Chinese!" Zhang Zian reminded again.

"Anyway, after I contracted psittacosis, my mother gave away those two peony parrots." Guo Dongyue said briefly, "But just a few days ago, she suddenly asked——Where did Xing and Pea Huang go? ? This is the name she gave the two parrots, to be honest, I have forgotten, but she still remembers."

"Then why don't you buy her two similar ones?" Zhang Zian proposed a simple solution.

Guo Dongyue let out a sigh of frustration, "If only it were that simple, in fact, she has already taught the parrots to speak before sending them away."

When Zhang Zian heard it, he knew what he was in trouble for - peony parrots are known for their appearance and their relatives, not for learning how to speak. If you want to teach them how to speak, you have to spend a lot of hard work. .

"So, you want me to find two peony parrots and teach them to speak?" Zhang Zian finally understood roughly.

"That's right. Isn't it silly?" Guo Dongyue smiled self-deprecatingly.

Before Zhang Zian could answer, Sun Xiaomeng said from the side: "Not stupid, not stupid at all."

She was very moved by Guo Dongyue's filial piety, and said to Zhang Zian: "Just help him,

Anyway, idle is idle. "

Zhang Zian was thinking about the feasibility, but he was amused by her act of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, "What you said is easy, why don't you try it? Do you think it is easy to train a parrot to speak, and there is a time limit." , his voice dropped.

Obviously, Guo Dongyue's mother didn't have time to wait. If she waited too long, she might even forget about the pair of parrots.

Zhang Zian was moved, but he knew that if he didn't have diamonds, he wouldn't do porcelain work. It would be a joke. If Guo Dongyue put all his filial piety on him, but he screwed up, he would be ashamed.

He can't train the parrot to speak at all, and it's too late to learn and practice now. The only hope is Richard, the language-interpreting bird. This depends on whether it can "understand" the language of other birds?

Sun Xiaomeng really wanted to make this happen, so she said in a provocative way: "You don't want to brag about yourself in the circle of friends all day long, saying that you are a leader in the industry and have a good conscience in the industry. Now, prove your excellence and show your conscience. !"

Seeing Zhang Zian's perplexed and hesitant look, Guo Dongyue sighed softly, "It's okay, I know it's a bit difficult, so just pretend I didn't say it."

In fact, he thought that his request would attract ridicule-if someone else did it, he would definitely laugh at it. No one knows how long his mother's memory of the two parrots will last, it may be gone tomorrow. Is it worth it to go to such lengths to reproduce such a seemingly insignificant memory?

But he has no choice, his mother can't remember him anymore, and now she sits in the room every day, waiting for the boy Guo Dongyue who will never appear after school.

From time to time, she muttered to herself: "Why hasn't this kid come back yet, did he run to find his classmates to play?"

In addition to this sentence, another sentence that is often on the lips is: "Why don't Xing and Pea Yellow stop barking? It's hard to teach them to speak."

Sometimes her memory is confused, and she will think of the terrible psittacosis pneumonia, and then she will say in a low voice with red eyes: "Dongyue, I'm sorry, it would be better if I didn't have a parrot."

This sentence awakened Guo Dongyue's sleeping memory, and he remembered that during the days when he died of psittacosis pneumonia, when he was tossing and turning in the hospital bed because of high fever, he seemed to hear this sentence in his ears talk. His consciousness sank into the scorching darkness, his hand was tightly held, and from time to time, cool liquid dripped on the back of his hand.

Mothers don't need to blame themselves, few people know that parrots may cause psittacosis pneumonia. She kept parrots because of her love and loneliness. For the sake of her son's birth, she no longer kept parrots, but his son was only looking forward to the novel and beautiful world, leaving her far behind.
