MTL - Taoist Master and the Cat-Chapter 10
Without the dried fish, Su Miaomiao's listlessness lasted until lunch time.
After washing her hands and sitting on the seat, Su Miaomiao got down again.
"Is Su Miaomiao sick?"
At the six-person table, Cheng Yue was the most enthusiastic and talked the most, looking at Su Miaomiao suspiciously and asking.
Both Lin Xi and Zhou Yao looked at Xie Jingyuan. Although it was only two days since school started, the children in Class Two already knew that Su Miaomiao and Xie Jingyuan were best friends.
Xie Jingyuan: "She's hungry."
This is a very convincing explanation.
At this moment, Feng Xiaoyu came back, and there was still some distance from the six-person table. Su Miaomiao suddenly raised her head and stared at Feng Xiaoyu with big eyes.
With her like this, Xie Jingyuan and the others also looked at Feng Xiaoyu at the same time.
Feng Xiaoyu was a little flustered, her face flushed, and she slowly returned to her seat with a guilty conscience.
Cheng Yue asked Su Miaomiao: "Why do you look at Feng Xiaoyu?"
Su Miaomiao swallowed, and moved her gaze to Feng Xiaoyu's left pocket.
Feng Xiaoyu looked nervously at the teachers who had just come out with rice bowls, raised a finger at Su Miaomiao, and said, "Don't tell the teacher, I'll give you one later."
The blue schoolbag with the dried fish belonged to Feng Xiaoyu.
She felt that Su Miaomiao must have discovered the snacks she brought.
Su Miaomiao nodded again and again, seeing Feng Xiaoyu also felt very kind. Before this, she had never paid attention to other children in the class.
After the teachers finished their meals, they also sat in front of the classroom to eat.
Feng Xiaoyu secretly bit open the snack bag with his teeth, the aroma of the dried fish became more intense, and the children at the other table couldn't smell it, but the aroma made Su Miaomiao stare closely at Feng Xiaoyu's hand.
There were five small dried fishes in total, Feng Xiaoyu gave one to Su Miaomiao, and then gave one to Xie Jingyuan, the squad leader who liked to help them.
Lin Xi lowered his head to eat the rice in the bowl, Zhou Yao wanted to eat but was too embarrassed to speak.
Cheng Yue is straightforward: "I want to too!"
Feng Xiaoyu was a little afraid of her, so he shared one with her, and quickly ate the last two.
It was the first time for Su Miaomiao to eat this kind of dried fish.
The small dried fish is deep-fried so fragrant and crispy that the bones of the fish are broken when chewed.
Su Miaomiao ate very cherishedly, after eating the whole fish, there were still some dried fish oil stains on her fingers.
Such fingers are almost the same as dried fish in Su Miaomiao's eyes. Just when she couldn't resist the temptation and was about to secretly lick it, Xie Jingyuan took his small dried fish and put it in Su Miaomiao's bowl. over rice.
Joy fell from the sky, Su Miaomiao smiled at him, and then happily ate the new dried fish.
Xie Jingyuan prepared a small wet towel, and as soon as Su Miaomiao finished eating, he passed the towel over to hint her to wipe her hands.
Su Miaomiao, who had relieved her hunger for a while, regained her good mood, and while wiping her hands, she asked Feng Xiaoyu, "Where did your dried fish come from?"
Feng Xiaoyu: "My family, our family has a supermarket, and recently this kind of small dried fish has been sold."
Su Miaomiao: "Where is your supermarket?"
Feng Xiaoyu: "Are you going to buy it? I'll take you there after school."
Su Miaomiao likes Feng Xiaoyu so much... the little fish is dry, so she also likes Feng Xiaoyu. When she takes a nap, she doesn't want to be next to Xie Jingyuan, but asks Feng Xiaoyu to lie on the bed next to her.
Xie Jingyuan silently carried his quilt to Feng Xiaoyu's side.
In the afternoon, Su Miaomiao was still inseparable from Feng Xiaoyu, pulling Feng Xiaoyu to play games together.
Lining up after school, Su Miaomiao stopped being attached to Xie Jingyuan and stood in the middle of the queue with Feng Xiaoyu holding hands.
Feng Xiaoyu's original hand-holding partner was a little girl, and before that little girl realized that she was looking for Xie Jingyuan, Xie Jingyuan pulled Lin Xi to his side.
Grandma Tao and other parents stood outside the kindergarten, and noticed that Su Miaomiao was not with her grandson. Grandma Tao was very surprised.
"Grandma, I want to go shopping in Feng Xiaoyu's supermarket."
"Mom, Su Miaomiao wants to go shopping in our supermarket."
Holding hands, Su Miaomiao and Feng Xiaoyu said to their parents in unison.
Grandma Tao smiled: "What does Miaomiao want to buy?"
Su Miaomiao: "Small dried fish, very delicious!"
When Feng's mother heard it, she nodded Feng Xiaoyu's head, dumbfounded: "Didn't you say that you are not allowed to bring it to the kindergarten, why are you disobedient?"
Feng Xiaoyu hugged her mother's leg, blushing in embarrassment.
Grandma Tao held Su Miaomiao in one hand and Xie Jingyuan in the other, and followed Feng's mother and daughter to the supermarket.
The Feng family lives in the next-door community, and the supermarket is just outside that community.
Feng Xiaoyu enthusiastically dragged Su Miaomiao to the shelf where the dried fish was placed.
There are fried snacks here, such as chicken feet, beef jerky, etc. Su Miaomiao is only interested in small dried fish, pointing to the shelf above and said to Grandma Tao: "Grandma, I want it all!"
Xie Jingyuan frowned.
Grandma Tao likes children, but she also pays attention to principles. She looked at Su Miaomiao and said, "If you eat too much of this, your stomach will hurt. You can only buy one pack."
Su Miaomiao pouted.
Grandma Tao: "Either buy a pack, or don't buy it, you choose."
Su Miaomiao compromised decisively: "Then buy a pack."
Grandma Tao asked her grandson again: "Does Jing Yuan want to eat?"
Xie Jingyuan looked at Su Miaomiao and nodded.
Grandma Tao took two packs of dried fish, bought salt, soy sauce, and toilet paper, and went to the cashier to pay.
Father Feng smiled: "They are all Xiaoyu's classmates, so I will give them the dried fish."
Grandma Tao: "That can't be done, otherwise I won't buy any of them."
The two talked about it, and finally Father Feng gave Grandma Tao a 20% discount, which was a discount for the first time shopping.
After saying goodbye, one big and two small walked towards the warm community.
In front of Grandma Tao, Xie Jingyuan didn't say anything. When she got home, Grandma Tao was cooking. Xie Jingyuan looked at Su Miaomiao who was sitting on the carpet eating dried fish with a serious face: "A little snack is enough. If you are so greedy, if a stranger lures you into the car with dried fish, will you follow him?"
After chewing the dried fish in her mouth, Su Miaomiao said plausibly, "I'm not that stupid. Mom and Dad said you can't go with strangers."
Now she is just a three-year-old child with no strength to restrain her. Su Miaomiao always keeps in mind her parents' instructions on safety.
People in this world can even build airplanes, and the means of abducting children must be more varied than in ancient times.
While talking, Su Miaomiao dried up five small dried fish.
Su Miaomiao licked her lips and looked at Xie Jingyuan: "The Taoist priest doesn't like fish, can you give me your bag of dried fish?"
Xie Jingyuan: "This kind of snack can only be eaten once a week."
Su Miaomiao was very aware of his uncompromising temper, curled her lips, and muttered in a low voice: "If you don't give it to me, I'll ask my parents to buy it for me."
Xie Jingyuan: "Buy it. If you eat your teeth, then let your uncles and aunts take you to the hospital for injections and tooth extraction."
Su Miaomiao: ...
Xie Jingyuan: "Go wash your mouth first, you smell fishy."
Su Miaomiao is a clean cat, as long as Xie Jingyuan shows such a disgusted expression, she will obediently clean it up.
When she came back after washing her face, she saw Xie Jingyuan staring out of the window again.
"Daozhang, what are you thinking?" Su Miaomiao was quite curious about this question.
Xie Jingyuan glanced at her and said, "I'm thinking about how to make money, grandma is getting old, we can't always spend her money."
As for the pocket money given to him by Xie Rong, Xie Jingyuan handed it all over to Grandma Tao.
He doesn't have any extra expenses at the moment, but Su Miaomiao is greedy. Today she is greedy for dried fish, and tomorrow she may be greedy for other snacks, so as to prevent her from developing a bad habit of stealing. Xie Jingyuan feels that he needs to save some money to deal with her occasional needs.
He arrested Su Miaomiao and returned to the Taoist temple first, so Su Miaomiao was reincarnated with him. Xie Jingyuan had the responsibility to take care of the cat and not give her a chance to cause harm to the world.
"Is grandma out of money? It doesn't matter, my parents have money, and I can ask them for it."
Su Miaomiao has no sense of money worries.
As a cat, she is also very good at observing her surroundings. With the financial conditions of Su Mingan and Tang Shiwei, it is no problem to support her for a lifetime.
Xie Jingyuan looked at her meaningfully: "Parents have the responsibility to raise you until the age of eighteen. After the age of eighteen, you have to learn to be self-reliant."
Su Miaomiao was ignorant.
Xie Jingyuan went a little deeper: "Study hard, get admitted to a good university, and it will be easier to find a good job with a high salary after graduation."
Su Miaomiao understood the meaning of work.
Couples like Su Mingan and Tang Shiwei have to go to work almost every day, stuck in one place, and can't go home as they please.
Su Miaomiao lay down, rubbed Xie Jingyuan's leg with the top of her head like a cat, faced him on her back and said: "I don't want to work, when my parents don't support me, the priest will support me, okay?"
Su Miaomiao, who hadn't fully understood the world's ways of life, really believed that her parents would abandon her when she was eighteen years old.
After all, she was a wild cat without parents in her previous life.
If the cultivation base is still there, Su Miaomiao can be self-reliant, but now that the cultivation base is gone, and she doesn't want to eat dirty mice, Su Miaomiao wants to return to the way of life in Qingxu Temple, and let Xie Jingyuan continue to provide her with food. daily needs.
Xie Jingyuan looked indifferent: "I can raise cats, but you are a human being now, and as a human being, you must learn to support yourself."
Su Miaomiao sighed in disappointment.
After all, being a cat is more comfortable than being a human.
Evening is the time for Su Miaomiao to love each other with her parents.
Tang Shiwei sensitively noticed that her daughter looked at them tonight in a wrong way, as if she felt a little wronged.
"What's the matter with Miaomiao, is someone bullying you in the kindergarten?" Tang Shiwei gave Su Mingan a look and asked gently.
Su Mingan didn't care about it on the surface, but he actually raised his heart. If someone dared to bully his daughter, he would definitely vent his anger on her daughter's behalf.
Su Miaomiao's face was full of sadness: "When I am eighteen, will my parents not want me?"
The way cat parents and cat mothers stop raising kittens is to drive them away and then disappear.
Tang Shiwei: "How could it be, Miaomiao is the daughter of mom and dad, so we have no choice but to have Miaomiao."
Su Mingan: "That's right, Miao Miao told Dad, who told you this?"
Su Miaomiao: "Brother, he said that you will only support me until I am eighteen, and then I will be self-reliant."
Tang Shiwei smiled: "Brother means, Miaomiao will be an adult at the age of eighteen, she can make some decisions on her own, and she can work and earn money after graduation, just like her parents."
Su Miaomiao blinked and confirmed: "Then, if I'm not good and don't want to work, will my parents continue to support me?"
Su Ming'an didn't think about it: "Of course, Dad will work hard to earn a lot of money, and it will be fine to raise Miaomiao for several lifetimes."
Tang Shiwei coughed. Even though it was true, they also wanted to encourage their daughter to make progress. Could it be that they really expected her daughter to accomplish nothing?
Su Mingan understood what his wife meant, and quickly changed his words.
But Su Miaomiao already understood that in this life, she no longer has to worry about being abandoned by her parents!
The Taoist said that because he didn't have a mother, and his father went with others, so he prepared to be self-reliant early.
What a poor priest.
