Chapter 89: Mom Teaches Nest Building

At lunch, the family of four sat around the table. Xia Sheng and Yue Qin were on one side, while the child and Little Parrot sat opposite them. Little Parrot must have slept too much today, as he was only focused on eating.

The child didn't mention his theory of only needing one steamed bun today and obediently picked up meat and vegetables.

Xia Sheng hadn't paid much attention before, but now she realized... the child wasn't picky about food at all. Not only was he not picky, but he also ate a lot and with great gusto.

The child scooped a spoonful of sour beans and minced meat, then a spoonful of mashed potatoes and a spoonful of sauce, and started mixing.

However, there was still a lot of rice at the bottom that couldn't be mixed.

So, the child got down from the stool, went to the kitchen, and brought out a large bowl.

He poured all his rice, mashed potatoes, sour beans, and minced meat into the bowl, added a few more chopsticks of finely shredded lettuce, and started stirring vigorously with his chopsticks.

After he finished, he put the chopsticks aside, picked up the spoon next to him, scooped up a spoonful, and started eating, his eyes narrowed in satisfaction.

Xia Sheng looked at her husband. She suddenly felt that the child was right. As long as he didn't admit it, her husband would never guess who he was.

Because at this moment, she felt incredible. Was this really the former boss who went to the Vienna Golden Hall for artistic influence and owned yachts and private jets?

Mr. Kang, having heard Violent Mother's doubts, looked melancholic and sighed, explaining, "You don't understand. I grew up eating Western food. Although it was all Michelin-star level chefs, whether it was steak or desserts, those things had no soul."

Xia Sheng: "...Then why didn't you find a Chinese chef to cook for you?"

Mr. Kang: "Chinese food is more suitable for a family of three to eat together."

Xia Sheng agreed with this statement. When she was in high school, her wish was to have a family and eat around the table together.

"By the way," Mr. Kang glanced at Dad who was washing dishes in the kitchen and whispered, "Dad found a metaphysics master who said he could help us switch our bodies back."

"Are you sure it's real? It's not a scam, right?" Xia Sheng's first reaction.

Mr. Kang couldn't help but say, "I told you we were kindred spirits. Our first reactions are exactly the same."

Xia Sheng: "Shouldn't the first reaction be the same?"

"Dad said it should be true, but I'm still skeptical. But we can also think about what to do."

Mr. Kang said, "Dad's point is that we can't be in a hurry to switch back. Kangkang's self-awareness is still that of a bird. If we don't make him realize that he is a human, switching back will be more troublesome."

Xia Sheng also had this consideration in her heart. Her son was still young, and he was happy to be a parrot that could fly and talk. He was still young, so it was okay to let him have some fun.

"Aren't you in a hurry?" Xia Sheng still remembered the other party's company matters, after all, Miss Tan had mentioned it to her several times: "What about your company?"

Mr. Kang sighed faintly, "I'm also in a hurry, but there's nothing I can do about it."

"Alas, if their scheme succeeds, I will lose control of the company. It would be better if I didn't have anything left, but there is still 20% of the preferred stock. Every time I receive dividends, I will probably see their smug faces."

Xia Sheng: "...Then you are really pitiful."

"Yes." The child sighed. "They always say that rich people are happy, but in fact, the pain of rich people is unimaginable to you, the kind of emptiness from the soul, the fear of not knowing what to do."

"You must understand me!" The child continued, "They always say that children who don't have parents around or are treated harshly by their parents are stronger."

As the child spoke, he took out two lollipops and handed one to Xia Sheng. "Only those of us who have truly grown up in such an environment know that we only appear strong on the surface. In fact, we are not only not strong, but also afraid of the world and resistant to others. Those children who are loved by their parents will know better how to get along with the world and others when they grow up."

As the child spoke, he tore open the lollipop and put it in his mouth, like holding a cigarette.

These words really hit home for Xia Sheng. Her mother always said, "If I hadn't been strict with you, would you be where you are today?"

However, her present was all guided by Yue Qin step by step.

When they were dating, she never knew how to get along with each other, how to be good to each other. She was anxious, panicked, and sometimes even irritable.

But Yue Qin wasn't. He was calm and gentle. When she couldn't help losing her temper and regretted it, he would hug her and tell her not to be sad. Everyone has a temper, and he wouldn't leave because of this trivial matter.

He gave her a sense of security step by step and let her reach out her tentacles little by little, making her feel that the world was safe.

Xia Sheng couldn't help but tear open the lollipop wrapper and put one in her mouth.

When Yue Qin came out of the kitchen with Little Parrot, the mother and son were standing on the balcony, each with a lollipop in their mouths, sighing faintly. Their expressions and tone were as if they were smoking a cigarette, not a lollipop.

Yue Qin: "..." What was going on?

Little Parrot flapped his wings twice and flew to his mother's shoulder. Xia Sheng touched her son's head. She also had to check on her son's illness.

Little Parrot had been feeling strange these past few days. Dad was strange, Mom was strange, and his younger brother was also strange.

First, Dad asked him in the kitchen--

"Baby, why did you think you were a bird before?"

Little Parrot squatted on his father's shoulder, his eyes looking in the direction of the rice bubbles, and said, "Because I am a bird, so I am a bird."

Yue Qin: "Then do you remember what happened when you were little?"

For a four-year-old child, one or two years old was his childhood.

"I remember. Dad went to work, and Mom played with me. Mom also played the piano for me."

Little Parrot felt that Dad had a bad memory and didn't remember these things, so he told him everything about his childhood.

As a result, in the evening, his younger brother asked again--

"Brother, why do you think you are a bird?"

Little Parrot repeated what he had said before.

The younger brother was very talkative and, like other children in school, asked endless questions--

"But Mom and Dad are both human, why are you a bird?"

Little Parrot sighed and had to explain it seriously again.

Finally, it was time to sleep. Early the next morning, Mom took him to the study, played the piano for him, and started asking--

"Teacher Little Parrot, can I ask you a question?"

Little Parrot's feathers stood on end, but this was his mother, and he couldn't be impatient with her. So Little Parrot smoothed his feathers and said, "Because I am a bird, so I am a bird."

Xia Sheng originally wanted to ask Teacher Little Parrot about his bird parents, but this question actually led to another question--

"Teacher Little Parrot, why are you a bird?"

So Little Parrot answered hastily.

Xia Sheng asked again, "What about your bird father and bird mother?"

Little Parrot flew to his mother's shoulder, rubbed his mother's face, and said, "I don't have a bird father or a bird mother." He only had a human father and a human mother.

Xia Sheng felt a pang in her heart. Her child had been wandering outside for a while.

Little Parrot said, "Birds without parents are so pitiful. My two little bird brothers and I only dared to steal bread from children. We didn't dare to steal from adults."

"But, fortunately, later, an adult thought I was cute and gave me food."

"That's so pitiful. How about I be your mother?" Xia Sheng said.

"Then you have to promise me one condition." Little Parrot said, "After you become my mother, you can't worry about me. You have to prepare for the performance seriously. You already gave up an opportunity to give birth to Kangkang before. Don't give up this time."

He had already recognized his father, but he didn't tell his mother because he overheard his father say that it was best not to tell his mother yet because she had to prepare for the performance and couldn't be distracted.

Little Parrot heard his father say that his mother had given up a great opportunity to give birth to him before, and she couldn't do that this time.

Xia Sheng was stunned for a moment, her nose inexplicably sore. She touched her child's head and said, "Mom understands. Then you can tell Mom anything in the future, and Mom will protect you."

Little Parrot was happy to hear this and said, "Mom, Mom, teach me how to build a nest!"

Other little birds had their parents to teach them how to build nests, but he didn't. Neither did his two younger brothers. So the three of them had never had a home when they were stray birds.

Now, although they had a home, when the little birds grew up, they would separate from their parents. He couldn't always live in his parents' house. That was called being a freeloader. Now that Dad's memory was getting worse and worse, he was getting older and older. He couldn't always be a freeloader.

He would have to go out with his two younger brothers in the future to build their own nests and be a good son to earn money to support his parents.

Xia Sheng heard her four-year-old son tenderly say--

"In a while, I'll be a grown-up bird. I need to learn how to build my own nest and move out."

Xia Sheng immediately said, "Mom will teach you how to build a nest."

Build a nest that takes ten years to learn.
