MTL - Taoist Master and the Cat-Chapter 3
Anshi in mid-April is sunny and breezy, which is just right for children to bask in the sun.
A few days ago, Grandma Tao would stay in the park until about 11 o'clock before returning home. Today, her son and new daughter-in-law were coming, so Grandma Tao had to return at 9:30.
"Miao Miao, let's play again in the evening."
Worried that Su Miaomiao hadn't played enough, Grandma Tao coaxed kindly.
Su Miaomiao doesn't mind, she has fun playing outside, and she is also very comfortable staying at home, a cat can move and be still.
Grandma Tao handed over Su Miaomiao to Aunt Song, and she came to push Xie Jingyuan's stroller.
Thinking about something, Grandma Tao didn't notice a small stone on the road, and the stroller jolted slightly.
Grandma Tao finally came back to her senses. Seeing that her grandson was still sitting upright, he didn't look frightened at all, he was obedient and steady, Grandma Tao couldn't help sighing.
A two-year-old child is young, but there are many strange faces in the family, and the child must be able to notice something.
After hesitating, Grandma Tao said softly to Xie Jingyuan: "Jingyuan, Dad will come later, and there is Aunt Qiao, who is Dad's new girlfriend. If Dad marries her, she will be your new mother." gone."
Xie Jingyuan turned his head, his eyes were black and white, like two quiet springs, without wind or waves.
What does such a young child know?
Grandma Tao smiled at her grandson, and asked tentatively, "Does Jing Yuan want a new mother?"
Xie Jingyuan knew very well that if Xie Rong wanted to marry that "Aunt Qiao", it didn't matter whether he agreed or not, even Grandma Tao couldn't interfere with Xie Rong's marriage.
On one side was his son, on the other was his grandson, he didn't want to embarrass Grandma Tao.
"Think." Xie Jingyuan replied simply, and turned around after speaking.
Grandma Tao has brought her grandson for two years, and knowing that her grandson has such a seldom-talking personality, she didn't say any more.
What can she say, she has never met Qiao Lili, before getting to know Qiao Lili, she can't praise Qiao Lili to her grandson, nor can she speak ill of Qiao Lili.
Su Miaomiao didn't know about Xie's family yet, when she reached the downstairs of the community, Aunt Song was in charge of moving the car up. She took Grandma Tao's left hand and climbed the stairs with her short legs.
After climbing to the third floor, she was a little tired.
If she was still a cat, even if she didn't have a hundred years of cultivation, it would be nothing to climb three flights of stairs. She could climb a tree several meters high in the blink of an eye.
Because she was tired, as soon as she entered Xie's house, Su Miaomiao went to lie down on the carpet.
"Miao Miao, come and wash your hands!"
Su Miaomiao didn't want to move.
Xie Jingyuan wiped his hands, then took the towel prepared by Grandma Tao for Su Miaomiao, and walked to Su Miaomiao's side.
Su Miaomiao opened her eyes and saw Xie Jingyuan standing with his back to the sunlight outside the window, handing out a small beige towel.
It was so comfortable to lie down, plus she was used to being taken care of by her parents, Su Miaomiao subconsciously stretched out her hand, looked at Xie Jingyuan and said, "Wipe it for me."
Xie Jingyuan frowned, is this cat too lazy?
The two were in a stalemate, just when Su Miaomiao was about to sit up, Xie Jingyuan grabbed her wrist and began to wipe her hands.
Su Miaomiao smiled and whispered, "Thank you, Taoist priest."
Xie Jingyuan imagined that what he was holding was a cat's paw, and the awkwardness in his heart disappeared.
Wiping a cat's paw is nothing, he also took the bone of a wolf dog in the Taoist temple, and healed the wings of a male tit.
Aunt Song washed a plate of strawberries and sent them to the two children.
This is a strawberry grown in a greenhouse. It is very expensive to sell. Grandma Tao loves her children and is willing to buy it. Su Mingan and Tang Shiwei will often send some fruits over.
There were delicious ones, Su Miaomiao sat up straight, picked the biggest one and took a bite.
The strawberries are bright red, eight parts sweet and two parts sour, so delicious.
Su Miaomiao once again sighed that being a human is good, eating, drinking and having fun is much richer than being a cat.
The voices of Grandma Tao and Aunt Song came from the kitchen, as if they were discussing what to add for lunch, Su Miaomiao listened to it a few times, and asked Xie Jingyuan quietly: "Is your house coming?"
Xie Jingyuan didn't eat the strawberries, and held a book in his hand. When he heard this question, he didn't raise his head and said: "Well, Xie Rong's girlfriend may get married."
With half a strawberry stuffed in Su Miaomiao's mouth, she was so surprised that she couldn't bite any more.
There was strawberry juice dripping down the corner of her mouth, Xie Jingyuan saw it, picked up a small towel beside her and wiped it off for her, showing disgust: "Let's talk after eating."
Su Miaomiao quickly ate the strawberries, approached Xie Jingyuan and asked, "So, do you want more stepmothers?"
Cat demons don't pay much attention to marriage, and kittens will be abandoned by their mother cats when they grow up. Su Miaomiao doesn't even know who her parents are, and she has no interest in knowing. But she had heard about the situation of ordinary people, many stepmothers would treat the children left behind by their original spouses harshly, if Xie Rong married a new man, Xie Jingyuan would definitely be miserable!
Su Miaomiao looked Xie Jingyuan up and down.
In his previous life, Xie Jingyuan was a Taoist priest. He knew both Taoist kung fu and spells. This world cannot practice magic spells, but Xie Jingyuan can use spiritual power to strengthen his body. When he grows up, he can learn Taoist kung fu. He is sure that he is not afraid of anyone when it comes to fighting. Just be afraid, he will meet a stepmother with a vicious heart and no chance to grow up!
"This is a society ruled by law, child abuse is against the law."
Facing Su Miaomiao's concern, Xie Jingyuan looked indifferent, and reminded Su Miaomiao: "Sleep less and learn more about the common sense here."
Su Miaomiao didn't take it seriously: "It's fine for the Taoist priest to know, and if I don't understand anything, I just ask you."
Originally, she was a free cat demon. After being brought back to Qingxu Temple by Xie Jingyuan, Su Miaomiao took Qingxu Temple as her home. As the master of the temple, Xie Jingyuan should take care of them.
Xie Jingyuan was indeed used to being relied on by the little Taoist priests and the three beast monsters, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with Su Miaomiao's attitude.
Auntie Song went to buy vegetables, Grandma Tao simply tidied up the inside and outside, Xie Rong and Qiao Lili came.
Grandma Tao came out from the bedroom and saw Su Miaomiao and her grandson eating strawberries, so she didn't disturb the children and went to open the door by herself.
Xie Jingyuan continued to read.
Su Miaomiao deliberately sat facing the entrance, eating strawberries in her mouth, staring at the entrance with big eyes.
"Mom, this is Lili."
"Hey, she looks so pretty, come in and sit down."
Xie Rong's figure first appeared in Su Miaomiao's field of vision.
Xie Rong, who was nearly thirty years old, had a tall and straight figure, handsome and elegant, and seemed very approachable, unlike some people, whose appearance was too outstanding, and his temperament was also otherworldly, making people only dare to look at it from a distance, not to get close, such as Xie Jingyuan.
Qiao Lili followed Xie Rong closely. She was fair-skinned and petite, with a gentle beauty. It was the first time that she came to meet her parents with her boyfriend. .
Su Miaomiao took a few glances and breathed a sigh of relief. This Qiao Lili didn't look threatening.
"Uncle eats strawberries."
Seeing Xie Rong walking towards them with a smile, Su Miaomiao picked up a strawberry and said sweetly.
No matter which world, money is very important. Xie Rong is not a kind and good father, but a generous and generous uncle. Last Chinese New Year, besides a big red envelope, he also bought a pair of small gold bracelets for Su Miaomiao.
When Xie Rong saw Su Miaomiao, his heart softened.
My son is cold and indifferent, never clinging to him, let alone acting coquettishly, but the little girl next door is lively, cute and lovable.
"Miao Miao is so good, you can eat, uncle has eaten." Xie Rong took off his slippers and sat on the hairless carpet specially prepared by Grandma Tao for the two children.
Su Miaomiao ate the strawberries by herself, and at the same time observed Xie's father and son as if watching the excitement.
Xie Jingyuan looked at Xie Rong, and it was regarded as greeting, but he didn't call Dad.
In other words, Su Miaomiao has never heard Xie Jingyuan call her parents. Mother Xie left early, and Xie Jingyuan would not be able to speak until then. Although Xie Rong is alive, how can such a father appear once or twice a month? The temple master who is qualified to let the dignified Qingxu Temple call him.
Xie Rong still had no self-knowledge, he stroked Xie Jingyuan's head and said, "Call me Dad."
Su Miaomiao almost choked on the strawberry juice.
Xie Jingyuan looked at her coldly.
Su Miaomiao was aggrieved, staring at her for what, it was not that she wanted to be his father.
Xie Jingyuan pursed his lips, no matter what Xie Rong said was kind or angry, he refused to speak.
Xie Rong's face was not very good-looking, and he asked Grandma Tao, "Do you want to go to another hospital?"
He still suspects that his son has autism.
Grandma Tao also often had such doubts, but Grandma Tao was not very happy when her son said such words in front of Qiao Lili: "What are you looking at, Jingyuan is fine, but if you have time to go home a few times, he It's not that I won't kiss you."
Xie Rong frowned and said, "The company is busy, it's not like you don't know."
Grandma Tao thought to herself, no matter how busy you are, it won't delay your dating. Why, if you have time to spend with women, you don't have time to spend with your children?
Grandma Tao was just angry at her son for neglecting her family. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Qiao Lili lowering her head in embarrassment. Grandma Tao changed the topic in time, brought a pot of boiled water and a plate of fruit on the tea table, and entertained Qiao Lili with a smile.
Xie Rong took good care of Qiao Lili, sat next to Qiao Lili, and the three adults began to chat.
Su Miaomiao seemed to be concentrating on eating strawberries, but she was actually listening seriously.
Xie Rong started a technology company, and the business is on the right track, and it seems to be quite profitable. Qiao Lili was the secretary who joined the company last summer, and she often went on business trips with Xie Rong. One was a young and wealthy boss, and the other was a gentle and beautiful secretary. They fell in love with each other for a long time, so Qiao Lili became pregnant naturally. The hospital checked and it turned out to be twins!
Being in love doesn't necessarily mean getting married, but as soon as Qiao Lili became pregnant, Xie Rong put marriage on the agenda.
Grandma Tao really felt that her son was too emotionally impulsive.
The last marriage was a marriage with a son, and the couple didn't have a deep understanding, and the lack of understanding led to a lack of deep relationship. It is said that a child is the crystallization of love, and the foundation of love is not solid. How deep can a father have for his child? Unlike a mother, who has the experience of being pregnant for ten months, even if she doesn't like men, it is difficult for her to worry about her child. lay down.
Grandma Tao believed that her son's affection for Qiao Lili would not be too deep.
However, since they have children, Grandma Tao can't interfere any more. It's better for her son to be responsible than to be the kind of man who plays with women at will because of his money.
"When is the wedding?"
"May Day, it's an auspicious day."
Marriage with a child, the wedding should be soon rather than later, otherwise it will not look good.
"Mom, you just need to take care of Jing Yuan. I'll make preparations for the wedding. When the time comes, you can just go and have dinner, so you don't have to worry about being tired."
Grandma Tao looked at her grandson, she really didn't have that much time to spare, and asked, "Where do you live after you get married?"
The old house is too old, waiting to be demolished at any time. This new house in Wenxin District has four rooms, three bedrooms and one study room. The master bedroom is reserved for her son, and she sleeps in the second bedroom. The second bedroom, if the son's new daughter-in-law moves in again, plus the twins who are about to be born, it will look crowded.
Grandma Tao felt that her son might have other plans.
Xie Rong really said: "It's a bit far away from the company. I'm going to buy a new apartment near the company. I will live there with Lili in the future, so it's convenient for us to go to work."
Grandma Tao: "Where's the child?"
Xie Rong: "It's enough for you to bring Jingyuan alone. When Lili gives birth, we will hire another aunt."
Grandma Tao looked at Qiao Lili.
Qiao Lili lowered her head and squeezed her hands. Grandma Tao's pretty face turned redder and redder.
In the end, Grandma Tao just smiled and said yes.
The son is willing to leave their grandparents and grandchildren behind, so what does it matter to others, whatever, she and the grandson are not bothered, as there are fewer people and it is quieter.
