Chapter 318 Kangaroo: Whoever gives you milk is your mother (2)
From then on, this bottle became exclusive to the little kangaroo.
Excluding the tail, the body was stretched straight to the size of a little kangaroo just the size of Lina's palm. It had a very loud voice and would howl when it was hungry.
He has a big appetite and is almost as big as Lucas.
【Baby! Baby! 】
Lucas was very loyal. After his milk powder was ready, he urged his mother to prepare some for the little kangaroo.
Even though she had adapted for a few days, Lina still hadn't expected——
This little devil at home actually cares so much about the little kangaroo.
He himself is still a kid who needs adult care, but he is full of love for smaller animals, and even his usually bad temper has improved a lot.
The little kangaroo felt insecure and insisted on staying in the bag. Lucas hung his mother's cross-body bag on his body. With his three-head body, the bag almost dragged on the ground, and the little kangaroo immediately crawled in.
thump—
It's almost like sitting directly on the ground, well, with only a thin layer of leather in between.
The sudden weight made the kid stagger forward, and he narrowly avoided falling on his face.
Lina helped adjust the shoulder strap of the cross-body bag with a smile and tied a knot on the shoulder, and took out the lipstick inside in time.
But she didn't dare let the two little ones who were still breastfeeding ruin her baby.
One of them was sucking on a pacifier and slurping, while the other one was also sucking with his neck stretched out.
(Wang Defa: My neck is so sore, the bottle is so heavy, life is so hard, wuwuwu…)
The little kangaroo couldn't hold the bottle with its thin front legs, so Lucas had to help hold it.
My two daughters go to kindergarten, and when they come back from school, the house will not be so quiet.
Originally, Lina was still hesitating whether to send the little kangaroo away, but seeing that the children liked it so much, she couldn't bear to let it go, so she decided to just keep it first.
The baby kangaroo is not weaned until it is one year old. It is so tiny now. If it is released, it will probably not survive.
In Australia, the number of kangaroos has exceeded the human population, which can be described as a disaster.
There are several farms near Lina's home. Occasionally, gunshots can be heard. These are the sounds of farmers hunting kangaroos, which is legal in the local area.
Kangaroos eat grass, and so do captive cattle and sheep. If they enter private territory and violently compete for resources, aren’t they thieves?
There is an unwritten rule in the local area that anyone who can accurately shoot a kangaroo in the head is a qualified kangaroo hunter.
I think the little kangaroo's biological mother might be someone who hangs out on nearby farms all year round, and is very far away from the nearest forest.
one year later.
Raising a child is much more troublesome than raising a kangaroo.
In the first week of kindergarten, Lucas was infected with hand, foot and mouth disease by a classmate, and developed blisters in his throat and a fever.
Lina's two daughters also experienced this, but she was not too panicked. She made an appointment with a doctor, but had to wait until two days before she could go for a check-up.
Two days is considered a fast process. Children are given priority. Adults have to wait in line even longer to see a doctor. If you are unlucky, it is possible that a minor illness may develop into a major one.
Lucas, who was suffering from such a serious illness for the first time since he was born, cried until his voice was hoarse. Lina held him and comforted him, while the little kangaroos under her feet, who had grown up a lot, jumped along the path she moved.
King Kangaroo Defa now looks very different from the skinny little mouse he was a year ago. His ears stand up, his eyes are big and black, and his tail is supporting the ground and is thicker than his legs.
It's just that scratching look... uh, a bit weird.
(Wang Defa was mad: Lucas was sick and you let him eat half a can of ice cream, is there something wrong with your brain?!)
(Lina thought: It’s so hot, the child is uncomfortable, what’s wrong with eating something cold? It will freeze the virus and the pain will go away. When the eldest child was sick in winter, he ate several cans of ice cream, didn’t he?!)
(Wang Defa: OK, OK, OK. I guess ice cream is also your family’s special medicine, right? Whoever has it, I’ll feel sorry for him. I don’t care!)
Charles and his old classmates from China run a barbecue restaurant together, and their business is booming locally.
However, it closes after mealtime.
Want to work overtime?! Impossible.
Fortunately, the two bosses each have their own responsibilities. The old classmate from China provides the technology and formula, while Charles is in charge of the management.
If the roles were reversed, with the hardworking character of the Chinese people, facing the endless stream of customers outside the door, 24-hour operation would probably become the norm...
At four o'clock, Charles whistled and locked the door. His two daughters were about to get home from school and he had to pick them up.
More than a dozen shop assistants happily waved to him while holding the packaged skewers. It was a spectacular scene.
It's rare that this boss is not stingy. He prepares employee benefits every now and then.
Every time we think of the expressions of those big eaters who came to the restaurant and asked for more food but were given all kinds of excuses by the boss, we want to laugh.
The pose of the father and his two daughters returning to the door of their home, two flowers on a tree——
The eldest was wearing a skirt and was held in Charles' arms, while the second was wearing overalls and riding on Charles' neck.
As soon as the door opened, three faces, red from the sun, were all smiling.
Lucas lay on the sofa, whining and pretending to be pitiful, looking enviously at the people hugging each other over there.
?? ?
Humph, it's like this again, always like this.
(Wang Defa scratched his inexplicably itchy chest: Lucas, the author who is bad at naming only gave you a name, and your two sisters haven’t been named yet, so be content! Who told you to be sick? Your sister is also at risk of being infected and has to be isolated. I don’t see you usually like kissing, hugging and lifting up high…)
After much delay, the day to see the doctor finally came.
When we go out, the little kangaroo wants to follow us, and even if it jumps onto the pickup truck, it will be chased off.
There is only one fate for kangaroos that make it into downtown areas of towns - they are shot dead by patrolling police officers.
(Wang Defa, who was warned, said: Okay, okay, if you don’t want to go, then don’t go. I’ll look after the house. You guys should come back early! It’s really hot outside. The freckles on Lina’s face seem to have become denser again…)
The doctor was a big, bearded man. When he used the instrument to see the child's condition, his pupils shrank noticeably.
There are layers of blisters in the throat, which are inflamed but not ulcerated.
As soon as Lucas opened his mouth, he could smell the rich, cool aroma of chocolate ice cream.
Restrictions on the use of medication for children are very strict in local hospitals.
As an experienced pediatrician, the bearded man bit the pen and considered over and over again before writing a list.
A series of scribbles, readable only by hospital staff.
Lina said it was very overwhelming.
The disease came quickly and went away slowly. It took about half a month to recover completely.
The first semester of kindergarten, which was a full three months, was inexplicably shortened by 1/6.
In the garden, the little kangaroo was jumping in front and Lucas was jumping behind, circling around the fence, like a perpetual motion machine, endlessly and happily.
The neighbor who was holding a computer three hundred meters away was dizzy due to the noise. He shook his head, stood up and closed the window.
(Wang Defa took a moment to chew a large piece of tender grass, but Lucas grabbed his tail and pulled him. He immediately fell to the ground with his mouth crooked and his eyes slanted, pretending to be dead: Taking care of children is so tiring, so tiring...)
