MTL - Taoist Master and the Cat-Chapter 18
At noon, Su Miaomiao really took a taxi with Xie Jingyuan to Skyline Building, and had a very delicious meal of grilled fish with her friends at the grilled fish shop.
Su Miaomiao brought a satchel, and when she was full and remembered to pay, Xie Jingyuan had already paid the bill in advance.
If the two of them are together, no matter what they do, Xie Jingyuan will pay for it. Su Miaomiao is used to it and doesn't care too much.
Su Mingan went home first in the evening.
Su Miaomiao took out the 1,000 yuan from her wallet and returned it to her father.
The Daoist has already earned hundreds of thousands of dollars, but Su Miaomiao is still a high school student who thinks that a thousand dollars is too hot. Such a sum of money should be handed over to his parents for safekeeping.
Su Mingan looked at the banknotes in his daughter's hand, and asked speculatively, "Did Jingyuan pay for lunch?"
Su Miaomiao: "Yes."
Su Mingan took a deep breath, went to the kitchen for a while, sorted out the ingredients for dinner, and sorted out the thoughts in his head. Su Mingan came out again, called her daughter to the dining table, and prepared to have a father-daughter conversation and money education.
"Miao Miao, Jing Yuan is as old as you, and he is still a student. His pocket money is given by Uncle Xie and Grandma. You can't always spend his money. Dad has money, you can do whatever you like. Ask Dad, you can't spend other men's money casually, you know?"
Su Miaomiao: "Why?"
Su Ming'an said solemnly: "Because you are short-handed, you accept other people's benefits, and the other party can use this to negotiate terms with you. In the end, it is you who are really at a disadvantage. We can only use money from home, or In the future, what I earn by myself will not be at ease in the hearts of others."
Su Miaomiao: "Yes, I remember."
Su Mingan thought it would be difficult for her daughter to accept the truth, but she didn't expect it to be resolved so smoothly.
He patted his daughter's head in relief, looked at the one thousand dollars on the table and said, "Then you find a chance to return the money for the grilled fish to Jing Yuan, and say it's your treat."
Su Miaomiao nodded.
The next day, Mom and Dad went to work, Su Miaomiao slept well and ate well, so she came to 1002 to find Xie Jingyuan.
Grandma Tao was not at home either, Xie Jingyuan stood at the door, as if she didn't want to invite Su Miaomiao in: "What's the matter?"
Su Miaomiao took out the money from her pocket and said what she wanted.
Xie Jingyuan knew that Su Mingan wanted to teach his daughter the correct view of money, and he also supported it, saying: "There are more than five hundred in total, just give me five hundred."
The tranquility and obedience on Su Miaomiao's face disappeared, and she looked at him in disbelief: "The Taoist priest is so stingy, do you really want it?"
Dad said that you can't spend other people's money casually, Su Miaomiao really remembered.
The question is, what kind of outsider is Xie Jingyuan?
She is the cat of the Qingxu Temple, and he is the master of the Qingxu Temple, so it is right to support her! This is because she has her parents to take care of her, otherwise Xie Jingyuan should be responsible for her basic necessities of life!
Xie Jingyuan looked into her shining eyes, and said helplessly, "If you don't want to give it up, then forget it."
Su Miaomiao didn't want to give it, and told him: "If my father asks you, just say that I have already given it to you, five hundred yuan."
Xie Jingyuan hummed perfunctorily.
Su Miaomiao turned around and was about to leave.
Xie Jingyuan suddenly asked: "The five hundred yuan, what are you going to use?"
Su Miaomiao turned her head, stared at him and said, "I want to hide myself, in case you don't care about me one day, and my parents don't want me anymore, I still have money to buy food."
Xie Jingyuan felt that this was not a good sign.
Once the cat demon has the heart to stand on her own, her heart will become wilder and wilder, and one day she will run away.
In this world, Xie Jingyuan's methods of restraining goblins are useless, the easiest way is to keep her in sight.
"Hiding it yourself is easy to be discovered by uncles and aunts. Why don't you leave it to me and I will keep it for you. I will keep the account. If you want to use it in the future, I will give it to you exactly."
Xie Jingyuan suggested.
Su Miaomiao asked vigilantly, "Will you renege on your debt?"
Xie Jingyuan's eyes were calm: "Practitioners, don't lie."
Su Miaomiao believed it, and walked to 1002: "I want to watch your accounting."
Three minutes later, Su Miaomiao returned home contentedly with the remaining five hundred yuan.
In a blink of an eye, it was Sunday, August 29th, the last weekend before the first year of high school.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, Su Mingan drove his family's SUV with Xie Jingyuan, Grandma Tao, Tang Shiwei, and Su Miaomiao to the villa where Xie Rong and Qiao Lili lived together.
The women sat in the back.
Tang Shiwei sat in the middle, with her daughter on the left and Grandma Tao on the right.
She chatted with Grandma Tao: "Miaomiao is ignorant. Every time I see Lanlan, I always get into a fight. I feel embarrassed."
Grandma Tao snorted, "Why are you telling me this foreign language? I like Miaomiao more than Lanlan. That child, Lanlan, was spoiled by her parents. Wasn't she the one who provoked Miaomiao first? I think Miaomiao is pretty good, but I just want to go back and not be so angry."
Tang Shiwei: ...
Su Mingan joked: "It turns out that Miaomiao's unwillingness to suffer is learned from you."
Grandma Tao is very proud: "That's how it should be. The child I brought up with one hand can eat whatever he likes."
Su Miaomiao really obediently let Xie Wenlan bully her, she would be angry!
Talking and laughing all the way, Xie's villa arrived.
When the two families got together, Xie Rong intentionally spared a day's schedule. He saw Su Ming'an's car driving in in the living room, and he called Qiao Lili and the twins out to greet him.
"grandmother!"
Xie Wenlan wore a white princess dress, ran up to Grandma Tao like a white butterfly, and hugged Grandma Tao coquettishly.
At the same time, she looked provocatively at Su Miaomiao who was walking beside her.
Xie Wenlan has been jealous of Su Miaomiao since she was a child. Grandma and elder brother like Su Miaomiao more than her. Of course it is Su Miaomiao's fault! She's obviously an outsider, why did she come to rob her of grandma and elder brother!
"Hey, it's so hot, hurry up and let go." Grandma Tao felt the heat really, and helped Xie Wenlan's shoulders to make her stand upright.
Xie Wenlan took this as one of the evidences that grandma didn't like her.
"Miaomiao is getting more and more beautiful." After greeting Su Mingan and his wife, Qiao Lili praised Su Miaomiao with a smile, "She is beautiful and has good grades. I am really enviable."
Back when Qiao Lili was first pregnant, facing the two lovely children Xie Jingyuan and Su Miaomiao, she still dreamed that she could give birth to a pair of equally lovely twins.
As a result, she got twins as she wished, but her own twins were far inferior to those two children in terms of appearance and grades.
That's all for Xie Jingyuan, Su Miaomiao's grades were all brought up by Xie Jingyuan's help and tutoring, Xie Jingyuan has such patience, but he refuses to tutor his younger brothers and sisters!
In order to raise twins, Qiao Lili had long wanted to take Xie Jingyuan and Grandma Tao to the villa, but both grandparents and grandchildren were unwilling!
Qiao Lili hated Su Miaomiao.
It's all because of Su Miaomiao's beautiful face, who fascinated Xie Jingyuan at a young age, otherwise why would Xie Jingyuan be reluctant? Isn't a villa better than an old house?
She didn't like it in her heart, no matter how enthusiastic Qiao Lili was towards Su Miaomiao, she was clearly separated.
Grandma Tao said to Xie Jingyuan: "There is a swing in the garden, you can take Miaomiao to play."
Xie Jingyuan didn't like socializing at all, so he called Su Miaomiao and left.
Xie Jingze and Xie Wenlan followed.
In the garden, Su Miaomiao was just about to walk towards the swing under the shade of the tree. Xie Wenlan quickened her pace and ran over, took possession of the swing, and looked at Su Miaomiao triumphantly: "This is my swing. If you promise me one thing, I will You are allowed to play."
Su Miaomiao looked at Xie Jingyuan and said nothing.
The swing indeed belonged to Xie's family, and she had promised Xie Jingyuan that she would neither steal nor **** other people's things.
"Want to play tennis?" Xie Jingyuan asked her.
Su Miaomiao's eyes lit up. She likes ball games, especially tennis.
Xie Jingyuan was wearing casual clothes, and Su Miaomiao was wearing denim shorts and a white T-shirt, which were just right for playing.
There are two tennis courts in the villa, Xie Jingyuan asked the housekeeper to fetch the rackets.
Xie Wenlan has practiced tennis since elementary school. She glanced at Su Miaomiao's slender arms and legs, and thought that a student from an ordinary family like Su Miaomiao would never have the opportunity to play tennis often, and her skills must not be good.
"Want to compete?" Xie Wenlan asked Su Miaomiao provocatively.
Su Miaomiao: "Compared to what?"
Xie Wenlan: "Dad gave me a pair of diamond hairpins, so I'm sure I'll give them to you too. Let's compare this. If I win, you give me your hairpin."
Su Miaomiao: "If you lose, give me yours?"
Xie Wenlan: "Of course."
Su Miaomiao looked at Xie Jingyuan again: "Can you compare?" A bet is not a robbery.
Xie Jingyuan nodded.
Su Miaomiao and Xie Wenlan were very happy, and they were determined to win the other party's card issuance.
Xie Wenlan also deliberately changed into sportswear, put on a tennis cap, and held the racket very professionally.
Xie Jingyuan and Xie Jingze sat side by side in the spectator seats.
Xie Jingze: "Brother, who do you think will win?"
Xie Jingyuan: "I don't know."
On the tennis court, Xie Wenlan warmed up with a standard posture, while Su Miaomiao on the opposite side just looked at her motionless.
Xie Jingze thought, even though Su Miaomiao was older, playing tennis required skill, and it was probably the younger sister who won.
After the warm-up was over, Xie Wenlan served the ball.
She has won an award in the tennis competition for elementary school students. This ball has both speed and strength.
Su Miaomiao just ran over and swung the tennis ball vigorously after it bounced.
With a "bang", the turquoise ball fell to the ground at a speed that Xie Wenlan had no time to react, and bounced away quickly.
Xie Jingyuan reported the score indifferently.
Xie Wenlan was surprised by Su Miaomiao's counterattack, and at the same time was aroused to have a stronger desire to win.
However, no matter what kind of ball Xie Wenlan throws, it will be hit back by Su Miaomiao, and even if Xie Wenlan hits Su Miaomiao's ball, he is not strong enough to counterattack.
The game ended without any suspense, and Su Miao won.
Su Miaomiao looked at Xie Wenlan happily: "Give me the card."
Xie Wenlan gritted her teeth, and said angrily: "Give it to me, I have better ones, so I don't care for such cheap ones."
She ran back to her room, angrily grabbed the pair of diamond hairpins that she actually liked very much, and stuffed them to Su Miaomiao pretending not to care.
Holding the hairpin in her palm, Su Miaomiao lowered her head and smelled it, and walked to Xie Jingyuan's side: "It smells, Taoist priest help me wash it off."
She likes shiny things, things that don't smell like others, especially things that she doesn't like.
Xie Jingyuan took the issuing card and walked away.
Xie Wenlan stomped her feet in anger!
Su Miaomiao swung her tennis racket and asked her, "Do you want to compare me to others?"
Xie Wenlan had already learned how powerful she was, so she couldn't compare to her, so she went to complain to her parents angrily.
Xie Jingyuan washed the two hairpins and returned them to Su Miaomiao.
Su Miaomiao smelled it again, and smelled a faint smell of hand sanitizer, lemon scent, much better than Xie Wenlan's breath.
She immediately put the hairpin on her head.
Xie Jingyuan didn't say anything.
Xie Wenlan brought shame on herself, so don't blame the cat for showing off.
