In the next few days, Xiaobai and the fish maw glass bottle were inseparable, and he had to carry them with him wherever he went.
There was a rumor in the school that Xiaobai was holding a bunch of baby fly daddies. Because of this, Xiaobai had a fight with a child and almost didn't get into a fight. Fortunately, Teacher Xiaoman paid attention in time and stopped the dispute.
Xiaobai turned around, grabbed Liuliu, and beat her up.
She was certain that the rumors in the school were spread by the naughty child Liuliu, because she was the first to hear Liuliu say that her silkworm baby was a fly daddy.
Piliu said pitifully that she was sorry for the little white duck, and then begged for mercy.
Okay, it turned out to be her fault, so she was beaten up by Xiaobai again.
After being beaten, Liliu ran away in despair and angrily threatened that she would never get along with Xiaobai again! But after a while, she appeared in front of Xiaobai again and brought her treasured biscuits.
Make peace.
With full expectations, Xiaobai waited for various small animals to hatch from the fish maw glass bottle, but after waiting for several days, there was still no movement. He found Liuliu and asked her to see a doctor, but Liuliu pretended to use it.
After listening with the stethoscope for a while, I concluded that the babies were crying in their sleep, and I wanted to sing to them to coax them out, just like Xi'er was caught by her sister after she failed to get up in the morning.
Xiaobai sang to the fish maw glass bottle and sang all the songs she knew. From day to night, there was still no movement, so she called other children to sing around her, but there was still no movement.
In the evening, Bai Jianping looked at her again and again and said that she might be dead, suffocated in a glass bottle.
Soon he regretted saying this very much, because when Xiaobai heard it, he couldn't believe it at first, made a fuss for a while, and then started crying, no matter how he comforted him, it was useless.
Bai Jianping thought about taking Xiaobai to the Little Red Horse quickly. With the children and Boss Zhang here, Xiaobai's mood should get better soon.
But Xiaobai refused to go, saying that they would definitely be sad if they found out.
She stood in the living room, holding the fish maw glass bottle and shedding tears for a long time. She was heartbroken, until she was tired of crying and fell asleep.
Bai Jianping secretly came to her crib and wanted to take away the fish maw glass bottle she was holding in her arms, but she was hugged very tightly. After observing it for a long time, he finally took it away.
He gently closed the bedroom door and came to the living room. He first looked at the silkworm eggs inside through the glass bottle. If he didn't see anything, he spread a piece of paper on the dining table and poured the silkworm eggs on it. He turned on the flashlight and looked carefully.
Consider.
These silkworm eggs are already grayish white, so they are definitely dead eggs.
Bai Jianping wrapped the silkworm eggs in paper and threw them into the trash can. He immediately thought that if Xiao Bai saw it, he would be even more sad? So he took it out and took the glass bottle with him.
The footsteps lit up the sensor light in the corridor. He stepped on his own shadow and went downstairs, putting the dead silkworm eggs in the trash can. He didn't go home immediately, but wandered around in the alley. He arrived.
In front of a small pet shop. It's already past ten o'clock in the evening? The shop is closed.
He was not willing to give in? He knocked on the wooden door, waited for a moment, but no one responded, and knocked again, harder, but still no one responded.
The owner of the shop is not here, nor does he live here.
Bai Jianping thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and dialed the contact number left by his boss on the wooden door.
The phone rang seven or eight times before it was connected. The boss's voice was tired. When he learned that Bai Jianping wanted to buy silkworm eggs, he impatiently said he would come back tomorrow. It's not like he didn't open the door, so it was disturbing people's sleep in the middle of the night.
Bai Jianping talked a lot, and after saying all the good things and agreeing to pay more money, the boss impatiently agreed to come over now.
More than ten minutes later, footsteps sounded in the quiet alley. Bai Jianping looked around and saw that the boss was here.
“What’s going on? You’re buying silkworm eggs so late at night. You can’t wait until tomorrow, right?”
Bai Jianping laughed and said nothing, his old face full of wrinkled smile.
The boss complained a lot, but when he saw that he didn't answer the phone at all, he was an honest man, so he stopped. He opened the door of the small shop and found a small white box. He opened it and was about to pour out 10 pills to Bai Jianping, but after a moment's hesitation, he just gave it to Bai Jianping.
He handed the small box to him and said, "Forget it for you, I just bought a box. I sold it to you alone before. No one buys this. It's like a bug. Many people are afraid of it."
There are 50 silkworm eggs in a small box. Bai Jianping bought 20 silkworm eggs before, and there were 30 left in the box. He originally planned to buy 20 more, but since the boss gave them to him, he had no objection and bought them all.
Thanks to the boss again, Bai Jianping left with the small box. When he returned home, he called Malanhua and asked how to hatch and raise silkworm babies.
After doing this, he put the mulberry leaves in a fish maw glass bottle, poured silkworm eggs into it, and placed it on the dining table with the mouth of the bottle open to allow ventilation.
Early the next morning, he woke up Xiaobai and told her that he had made a mistake yesterday. The silkworm eggs were not dead, but were still alive. Silkworm babies would hatch out in two days.
Xiaobai was dubious, but at least it was good news, which made her feel a lot better, so she started to expect and wait again. That nervous look made Bai Jianping feel uneasy. If the hatch couldn't be hatched again, Xiaobai would cry.
Worse still, I might even fight him.
For this reason, not only did Xiao Bai stare at the glass bottle every day, Bai Jianping also looked at it three times a day, fearing that the auspicious time would pass, but the silkworm eggs would still be there, and there would be no babies.
After four days of worrying, under Xiaobai's increasingly suspicious eyes, one morning, when she woke up, she found a few small moving things in the glass bottle. She didn't recognize them as silkworm babies. She shouted
I didn’t know until I came to Bai Jianping.
“It sounds like a caterpillar?” Xiaobai asked.
“You have to wait until someone else grows up, you are still so young now,” Bai Jianping said.
“Won’t you look like a caterpillar when you grow up?”
“No, it looks more like a caterpillar when it grows up.”
“What the hell!”
“The silkworm babies look like this, what can we do?”
Although it looks like a caterpillar, Xiaobai still likes it very much, and there are still dozens of grains in the glass bottle that have not hatched. Maybe she can hatch the windmill, fake sophistication, little duck and little magpie she wants. Who knows?
Woolen cloth.
She was thinking about it and without hesitation, she stuffed the glass bottle into her schoolbag and took it to the kindergarten to keep an eye on it.
When he arrived at the kindergarten, Xiaobai immediately shared with Xiaomi that Xiaomi was scared at first, but gradually got better.
Two children gathered together, whispering, hoping that other silkworm eggs would hatch into silkworm babies.
After taking a nap, there were several more baby silkworms in the glass bottle.
Xiaobai was so happy that she couldn't hide it and couldn't wait to share it with other friends in the kindergarten. However, the other children did not share her joy. Instead, they were frightened and cried because they all thought it was a caterpillar and it was so scary.
Many children were so frightened that they ran away. The teacher rushed over and asked what was going on. After learning that Xiaobai had raised silkworms, he patiently explained to the children that these were silkworms, not caterpillars.
She thought this was a good opportunity to tell the children about nature and animals. She even made a plan instantly to let the children observe the growth of silkworm babies, keep records, and watch the whole process from silkworm babies to moths. This is very meaningful.
.
But the reality is very harsh. The children fled in all directions and did not dare to get close to the silkworm babies.
The little teacher was speechless, no matter how he explained, it was useless.
Xiaobai said: "Teacher, are you saying that the babies you teach are all idiots?"
