1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 374 [Extra Chapter] China's Most Famous Eagle (1)

"Attention passengers on flight MUxxxx, your flight is about to depart. Please proceed to gate G78 to check in as soon as possible."

Two young people were dragging their suitcases toward the boarding gate when one of them suddenly pointed outside the glass curtain wall.

"Hey, look what's that?"

"Birds? Are you stupid? What else could be flying in the sky?!"

"Of course I know they're birds, but aren't birds not allowed at airports? They say they might damage planes or something?"

"Maybe someone will kick them out in a little while?"

The person who said this was also very hesitant. This is a bird, not a chicken. How can you catch it when it flies so high? Unless you use high-tech methods.

With two hours left before boarding, the two stopped using their phones and started staring at the birds in the distance.

It was not yet six in the morning, the sky was just beginning to lighten, there were not many flights or people, and if it weren't for the vast open space, they wouldn't have noticed the figures rising and falling near the runway.

Those guys in yellow reflective vests must be staff members, right? They've been waving and shouting for over ten minutes now, how come they still haven't gotten the bird away?

They initially just wanted to see something interesting, but the more they looked, the more anxious they became, so they decided to contact the staff to report the situation.

"Hello, I'd like to ask if it's still possible to take off normally if there are birds near the runway, and if so, will there be any delays?"

The flight attendant paused for a moment, then quickly put on her standard smile: "Hello, may I ask where the birds are?"

As one of the busiest airports in the country, Beijing Capital International Airport has always prioritized bird control. How could there still be birds on the runway just before takeoff?

That's right, the flight attendant thought the two were looking for trouble, but her professionalism remained intact, and her tone, smile, and demeanor were impeccable.

The two pointed directly to the distance, where several people in yellow vests were "dancing wildly" and quite conspicuous.

The flight attendant turned around and quickly spotted the black dot in the sky that was sometimes circling and sometimes diving.

She knew the people in yellow vests were airport ground staff, and even what they were doing, but it was indeed quite rare to see birds in the airport now, as the takeoff time was approaching.

"Please wait a moment, I will contact the staff right away to find out. If there are no unexpected circumstances, the departure time is generally not delayed, so please rest assured."

When the flight attendant took out a walkie-talkie, the two young men stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass to continue "bird watching," while also pricking up their ears to "eavesdrop" on the flight attendant's conversation.

"Yes, that's right, some passengers have reported the situation..."

"Really? How long will it take? Won't it affect takeoff?"

"Okay, I understand. It's alright, safety is the most important thing!"

"Okay, sure, thanks."

The two exchanged a glance; they didn't seem to be in any trouble.

Soon, the flight attendant arrived gracefully.

"Thank you for your concern about our flight safety. That's the airport bird control team over there. The birds flying overhead are falcons. Once the operation is complete, the falcons will be brought back together. It will not affect flight safety, so please rest assured."

The two young men were stunned. They understood the bird control team, but what was the falcon? So the eagle was also a member of the working group?

One was a journalist and the other a photographer; their journalistic acumen allowed them to capture valuable topics almost simultaneously.

Both pairs of eyes snapped back. These days, even eagles have official positions?!

The two best buddies looked at each other and saw the spark of KPIs in each other's eyes.

"How about it?"

"I think it's okay!"

"Let's pull off a heist?" "Let's pull off a heist!"

The reporter quickly took out his phone to contact the editor-in-chief, and after receiving a reply, began to use his connections to arrange interviews.

There was a working dog competition that went viral a couple of days ago, so I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon.

Working eagles are much rarer than working dogs, and the fledgling reporter was convinced he could write a hit news story that would get a lot of clicks.

The "Falcon" comrades who were working diligently in the air above the airport had no idea that they were about to be published in the newspaper.

In this era where internet traffic can go viral at any moment, "Working Eagle" can beat many competitors just by attracting attention.

Not to mention they are direct descendants of the legendary owl, Gray Deer.

They only learned of this news after conducting in-depth interviews.

Comrade Lu Huihui is already 49 years old this year, even older than many eagle owls who live a life of luxury in zoos.

Since its discovery of the Little Days Armory was made into a movie, Lu Huihui has become the most famous eagle in all of China.

During movie promotion tours, any show it attends is always packed with people, with many flying in just to see it.

It could even be said that it was more popular than the movie star.

After all, as the only owl in the country, and even the world, that can communicate with humans without barriers, Lu Huihui has too many legendary stories.

Not to mention, its surname is Lu, the same Lu as Professor Lu Youyou, the youngest double academician in China.

Upon learning of this, the reporter had a strong urge to interview Lu Huihui, and even Professor Lu if possible.

He submitted his application to the editor-in-chief, but unfortunately, the editor-in-chief was not of a high enough rank to make the decision.

But everyone knows how much traffic this would generate if it were successful.

When Lu Huihui participated in movie promotions, it was just posing for photos. It was very aloof and wouldn't even glance at you when it didn't want to talk to people.

Professor Lu rarely appears in the media; the only way to see her is at Tsinghua University, and you can't find her at all when she's not teaching.

It's said that Professor Lu's lover is a high-ranking military leader, and any discussion about him online would definitely be censored; in short, it's something that can't be said.

These two big names, who are both extremely well-known and highly publicized, yet also very mysterious, are definitely the interview subjects that journalists dream of.

If the temptation is strong enough and the motivation is strong enough, even the most difficult things can be accomplished by racking one's brains.

After going through countless connections, making countless phone calls, and begging and pleading, the interview request finally reached Lu Youyou.

But it's just an application; whether she agrees or not is entirely up to her.

"Little Grey, your great-great-grandson is going to be on the news, do you want to go see him?"

Lu Youyou stroked the eagle, whose handsome appearance was as striking as ever, her voice full of teasing.

Little Grey hasn't changed much over the years, except for its feathers being a bit sparse. Its eyes are still sharp, and its movements are still agile.

It personally found good jobs for its four children, and its children and grandchildren have inherited the glory of their father. The Falcon at the Capital Airport is now the fourth generation of "airport guardians" in China.

Little Grey has hardly ever seen its great-great-grandchildren, and it doesn't really care whether it makes the news or not.

This is nothing compared to what it was back then!
but……

My mother has been spending more than ten hours a day in the lab lately, and this can't go on.

How about we take Mom out for a walk to relax while we're here for the interview?

Making the news is a small matter; the most important thing for the deer family is for the cubs to come back in colorful clothes to entertain their parents!
