When we got back home from the mountain, the kids and the others were all very satisfied with their harvest.

But Chen Sisi still felt doubtful about what had just happened in Lin Haili.

The truth is, she has never seen a talking starling in her life.

However, after hearing this, the old man smiled and comforted him: "I have lived in the Northeast for so many years, and I have seen many starlings. It is not surprising that some smart ones can indeed speak."

Su Ran, who was leaning against the door, looked at the two of them with a smile and glanced at the comments. She didn't expect that someone in the live broadcast room was asking what a mynah bird was.

"No, buddy, have you never heard of mynah bird in your life?"

"Um... Is the scientific name of this bird myna? Why is it so strange?"

Su Ran explained cheerfully, "Mynah birds are from the genus Mynah of the family Starling. They have many names, such as black starling, thrush, cold starling, and crested starling."

"This bird is not big, about 20 to 30 centimeters long. When it stands, its whole body is black, and sometimes people will mistake it for a crow if they see it from a distance."

"But in fact, the biggest difference between starlings and crows is the long, vertical feather tufts on their foreheads. When they spread their wings, you can see a few white wing spots on the front, which are particularly obvious and beautiful when they are flying."

The old man nodded and agreed, "My grandson is right. Besides, the starling's beak is cream-colored, and its feet and claws are also yellow. The crow's body is really black."

Grandpa asked Chen Sisi if she saw the starling clearly, and Chen Sisi shook her head to indicate that she saw nothing.

"If you didn't see it, then you didn't see it. It's just a talking bird. There's nothing special about it." Grandpa was obviously not surprised.

Su Ran nodded slightly.

Nothing surprising indeed.

Take starlings and parrots for example, most of them have the ability to speak, and it is normal for them to imitate humans to speak a sentence or two if they are well raised.

It just feels fresh to people who see it for the first time.

With the comfort of her grandfather and Su Ran, Chen Sisi calmed down.

She was not timid. If other people heard something imitating human speech in the dense forest, they would get goose bumps.

"Sister, you are so timid." Chen Tao made a face at the side.

Chen Sisi's face flushed with anger: "You are the timid one, do you believe I will beat you?"

"Ah! Don't!"

Little Chen Tao was frightened by his sister's words and immediately ran out of the yard.

Seeing this scene, Chen Sisi burst into laughter: "See, I told you that this brat is timid."

At noon, Su Ran made mushroom soup for the group of children. The wild mushroom soup tasted very good.

Almost every kid can hardly resist this taste.

Several people finished several bowls of rice in a row.

The family members who saw this scene felt relieved.

"It has to be Su Shen. My Dongdong is very picky about food at home. I have made mushroom soup before, but he always hated it."

"Yes, my child is the same. He won't eat anything at home, but he likes to eat everything at the anchor's house."

While eating, Su Ran heard the sound of cursing on the road in the village.

When she walked out of the yard, she saw Li Manchuan's wife, Sun Xuemei, chasing her husband with a broom. She cursed, "Li Manchuan, you are such a jerk. I have been with you for so many years, and you are cheating on me and even want to have a tryst with her!"

"Don't run away, let me see if I can let you go."

Su Ran didn't stay in the village for long this time when he returned home, and didn't have much interaction with Sun Xuemei.

But when Aunt Sun first married to Qijiaqiao Village, she was a very virtuous person. She was also kind and not the kind of shrew who cursed in the streets.

"As a woman, it's normal to get so excited if she knows her husband is cheating on her." Chen Sisi walked over and sighed. She didn't expect Li Manchuan to be such a person.

The old man was sitting outside in the yard smoking a pipe. He also heard what happened outside. Not to mention him, Sun Xuemei was chasing his lover all the way, and all the villagers here came out to watch the fun.

"Manchuan is a very honest man. Why would he have an affair outside? I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding." Grandpa couldn't help but analyze and looked at Su Ran.

Su Ran couldn't say anything about this matter.

He felt that after all, it was someone else's family affair, so he should just let them figure it out slowly.

Originally, Su Ran really thought that this matter could not have anything to do with him, but gradually, several families in Qijiaqiao Village became uneasy in the past two days.

Aunt Liu heard that someone was gossiping about her behind her back, so she ran outside to confront the person.

The village chief lost more than a dozen dabuluo playing cards in the neighboring village, and the news spread throughout the village in no time.

Just by walking on the street, villagers would point fingers at Zhou Dafu behind his back and say: The village chief is definitely corrupt.

As for Chen Sisi's irregular menstruation, it somehow reached Su Ran's ears.

That day, when Chen Sisi came to Su Ran's house to feed Mantou and the others, her face was black.

Su Ran hesitated and sorted out his words, then said softly: "Why don't you rest well at home for the next two days, don't stay up too late, and eat less spicy and greasy food. I'll prescribe some medicine for you in the afternoon..."

Before he could finish his words, Su Ran felt a fierce look coming from the opposite side.

Chen Sisi stared at him with a gloomy face and said, "Su Ran, do you also need to be punished?"

"Uh..." Su Ran took a few steps back innocently, "I don't want to hear what people say about you..."

Chen Sisi raised her head quickly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Rumors, pure rumors! I don't have irregular menstruation at all!"

"Su Ran, there must be a traitor in our village who is spreading rumors everywhere. You must help me prove my innocence."

Having said that, Chen Sisi threw herself directly into Su Ran's arms and sobbed on his chest.

Su Ran was anxious and said quickly: "I will definitely help you, but don't cry."

Then Chen Sisi suddenly looked up and laughed: "Just kidding."

"But you must help me. This concerns my innocence, understand?"

At this time, Chow Tai Fook's voice was heard outside the house.

"Is Xiaoran at home?"

Su Ran responded and went out to welcome the village chief.

When asked what happened, the village chief looked bitter and started talking about the rumors about him that were circulating in the village.

Su Ran asked him whether this really happened. He lost more than 100,000 yuan playing cards. If this really happened, it was not just a small gambling for fun, it was a crime!

Zhou Dafu shook his hands like a rattle and said how could that be possible? After all, he was the village chief of Qijiaqiao, how could he do such a wicked thing.

"Now everyone in the village thinks I've been corrupt, but I know best whether I've been wronged or not, but no one believes it."

The village chief was so sad that he could not even cry.

"I'm afraid this will get out of hand. The police might take me away. If a village chief like me is taken away by the police, how can I face my fellow villagers in the village in the future?"

"How can I still gain a foothold in the village committee?" (End of this chapter)
