"Hehe!"
Li Xiaobao had been sitting by the bed observing the eggs, and when he saw the fluffy little chick, he smiled faintly, then reached out his palm towards it.
The downy yellow chick became even more excited at the sight of Li Xiaobao's outstretched hand and began pecking at his palm with its beak.
"Haha!"
Seeing the chick's antics, Li Xiaobao's joy grew even greater.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
At that moment, a continuous sound kept coming, and the dozen or so remaining eggs on the bed began to crack open, one after another, as tiny chicks stuck out their little heads.
After they emerged from their shells, they all fluttered their barely-grown wings and moved towards Li Xiaobao as if he were a family member to them.
For over a week, Li Xiaobao had been incubating chicks at home. At first, Li Detian and the people of Kao Mountain Village found it novel and surprising, often coming back to take a look.
