MTL - Taoist Master and the Cat-Chapter 23
About five minutes into the evening self-study in the second quarter, the class teacher appeared again.
The important content of this section is to select the members of the class committee.
Class teacher: "Choose the monitor first, does anyone want to be the monitor?"
The classroom was quiet for a few seconds, and then someone started whispering.
Xu Shou raised his hand suddenly.
The class teacher smiled: "Does Xu Shou want to be the class monitor?"
Xu Shou stood up, and said under the gaze of his classmates: "I would like to recommend Xie Jingyuan to be the monitor."
Xie Jingyuan: ...
He didn't want to be the class monitor, and he didn't want to assist the teachers in managing a class, but he understood what Xu Shou meant.
In Xu Shou's eyes, the squad leader is probably the literal meaning of the leader of the first class. Of course Xu Shou is only willing to listen to him. If someone else does it, Xu Shou may resist.
Therefore, when the class teacher asked about his wishes, Xie Jingyuan calmly agreed.
No one objected, Xie Jingyuan became the class monitor smoothly just like when the kindergarten started.
Starting with them, class cadres such as deputy monitors and study committee members were also elected one after another.
Su Miaomiao was not interested in these things at all, and listened casually.
Gu Jialing was slightly interested in the art committee, but when he thought of the talent level of these ordinary people, Gu Jialing suppressed the urge to move.
Xu Shou took the initiative to recommend himself and was successfully elected as a disciplinary committee member.
He is tall, strong, and has a firm face, which is indeed very intimidating.
Later, some other matters were dealt with, such as the class health duty schedule, and today's self-study class is over.
The homeroom teacher asked Xie Jingyuan and the sports committee to go ahead and explain the opening ceremony tomorrow.
It was getting dark outside the window, and Su Miaomiao was lying on the table waiting for him.
Xu Shou and Gu Jialing did not leave the classroom immediately either, the former was willing to wait while the latter did not dare to act without authorization.
"You say you are stupid, what do you recommend the Taoist priest to do?"
Gu Jialing complained to Xu Shou in a low voice: "The Taoist priest used to be the master of the temple, and all the incense money in the temple belonged to the temple master. Is there any money for being the squad leader? It's just a false title, and there are a lot of things every day."
Xu Shou: "The priest is not as secular as you."
Gu Jialing made a "cut" and asked Su Miaomiao: "You and the Taoist have been together, has the Taoist been the squad leader before?"
Su Miaomiao thought for a while, then nodded: "Five or six times."
Gu Jialing: ...
The Taoist leader is the Taoist leader, so he doesn't take the trouble to sacrifice his life for the people!
The classroom was almost gone, and Xie Jingyuan's side was finally over, and when he came back to pick up his schoolbags, he still carried one in each hand.
Xu Shou: "I'll get it for you."
Su Miaomiao stared over vigilantly.
Xie Jingyuan: "No, you stay here, go back to the dormitory first, is there a light-off time in the dormitory?"
Xu Shou: "No rush, I'll take you to the school gate."
Cats have a cat's temper, and wolf dogs also have a wolf dog's temper, Xie Jingyuan can only acquiesce.
The four walked out of the classroom together, went down the stairs, and came to the bicycle parking garage on the ground floor.
Xie Jingyuan stuffed two schoolbags into the front car basket, bent down to unlock them, and Su Miaomiao stood by and watched.
Xu Shou looked around and frowned for the first time today: "You don't have a car?"
Su Miaomiao: "The priest brought me here."
Xu Shou pursed his lips tightly.
Thinking that Xie Jingyuan had saved his life after all, Gu Jialing took the initiative and said, "Which neighborhood do you live in? I'll let the driver pick you up in the future, let's go together."
Xie Jingyuan: "No, we live very close."
Gu Jialing no longer insisted.
Because Xu Shou wanted to take them to the school gate, and Gu Jialing's driver was waiting outside the school, Xie Jingyuan decided to push the cart and walk over.
Su Miaomiao was too lazy to leave, so she jumped to the back seat, took out a small packet of crispy shrimp snacks from her pocket, and tore it open.
Xu Shou was about to propose to push the cart for the Taoist chief, seeing her like this, he quickly swallowed his words, and only stared at the lazy cat with cold eyes.
Su Miaomiao deliberately handed him a piece: "Do you want to eat?"
Xu Shou looked away.
Su Miaomiao smiled, eating with gusto, but her eyes fell on the hole in Gu Jialing's right ear, and she was in a bad mood again.
Gu Jialing vigilantly went around to Xu Shou's other side.
Although dogs are cold, at least they are more stable than cats.
The school gate is here.
After Gu Jialing failed to invite the Taoist leader again, she was going to meet the driver.
Xie Jingyuan: "Don't forget your hair."
Gu Jialing: ...
Xie Jingyuan told Xu Shou to go back, and he also drove Su Miaomiao away by car.
Xie Jingyuan concentrated on watching the road, Su Miaomiao tilted her head, and saw Xu Shou standing alone under the streetlight at the school gate, his face gradually blurred, and his shadow gradually overlapped with Qingxuguan's **** dog.
Su Miaomiao looked back silently.
There was a crossroad ahead, and it happened to turn into a red light. Xie Jingyuan stopped and turned his head as if feeling something, and saw the tall and straight figure of Xu Shou standing there.
He remained motionless, just like in his previous life.
Xie Jingyuan was slightly moved.
Speaking of which, among the three monsters, the wolf dog has lived in Qingxu the longest.
Not all monsters are inherently evil and vicious. The wolf dog is a kind-hearted monster who was born in a small village and has been guarding that village since he opened his spiritual wisdom. He has saved many local villagers.
For demons who want to improve their cultivation base, besides steadfast cultivation, there are many insidious shortcuts, such as picking up men and women, and devouring other demons' demon pills.
The wolf dog was being followed by a big demon, and at a critical moment, Xie Jingyuan rushed over looking for the evil spirit, and rescued the wolf dog.
Since then, the wolf dog has devoted allegiance to him.
Xie Jingyuan takes care of the cats, frees the tits, and raises the relationship with the wolfdogs for many years, just like family members.
No one can bear to abandon a dog at home who is willing to protect him with his life.
The green light came on.
Xie Jingyuan turned around and rode back.
Su Miaomiao was stunned for a second, then curled her lips.
In the past, when Xie Jingyuan went out to catch monsters, the **** dog would always follow him far away, Xie Jingyuan would pat the dog's head, and the **** dog would return to the Qingxu Temple.
The Taoist leader must be going to pat the dog's head again.
Seeing Xie Jingyuan turning back, Xu Shou's eyes lit up and he ran forward.
The two sides met, Xie Jingyuan stepped on the ground with one foot, but he did not reach out to pat Xu Shou's head, but said: "I still have a room vacant at home, I will discuss it with grandma tonight, if she agrees, you can move there Come live with us."
If Xu Shou was just an ordinary poor student from the countryside, he would have a certain amount of self-esteem and would take Xie Jingyuan's invitation as sympathy.
But Xu Shou's soul is a two-hundred-year-old wolfhound, a loyal dog who swore to follow and serve Xie Jingyuan for the rest of his life.
He nodded without hesitation, revealing a sincere smile.
Xie Jingyuan also smiled, and advised him: "Go back, don't break the discipline of the dormitory."
This made sense, and Xu Shou finally agreed to leave.
Xie Jingyuan also rode in the direction of Pearl Garden again.
As he was riding, the person behind him leaned his head, and scratched his back with a finger inexplicably.
Cats and dogs were at odds, Xie Jingyuan guessed, "You don't want Xu Shou to move here?"
Su Miaomiao let out a slight doubt, and then reacted, and said: "I don't want to, can the Taoist priest not let him come?"
Xie Jingyuan: "It depends on what grandma means."
Su Miaomiao continued to scratch him.
Xie Jingyuan also guessed that she had other things on her mind: "You want Gu Jialing's earrings."
Su Miaomiao finally gave up.
Xie Jingyuan: "That kind of earrings are very expensive."
Su Miaomiao: "The Taoist priest is rich, my cousin said, you have earned at least hundreds of thousands."
Xie Jingyuan almost forgot that she also has a cousin who can help her settle accounts, although that cousin's estimate was not accurate.
That's why he didn't want to tell Su Miaomiao the manuscript fee.
If Su Miaomiao thought he had ten dollars, she would only ask for gifts worth nine dollars at most, but if they were exchanged for hundreds of thousands or millions, the price of the gifts she asked for would also increase accordingly.
Xie Jingyuan made a rule for her: "During school, gifts over one thousand yuan can only be asked for once a year."
Su Miaomiao blinked and asked, "Does birthday present count?"
Xie Jingyuan was silent for a few seconds, and said: "That was given separately, it doesn't count this time."
Su Miaomiao felt relieved: "Then this year's gift, I want that kind of earrings."
Xie Jingyuan: "Okay, I'll take you to buy it during the holidays."
Su Miaomiao was very happy, happily hugging Xie Jingyuan and rubbing against him.
Xie Jingyuan's back stiffened, but fortunately she finished rubbing it quickly, and began to chat about other things: "Why is Gu Jialing so rich?"
Xie Jingyuan: "His family has a mine."
By the way, I told her about the situation at Gu Jialing's house.
Su Miaomiao felt that Gu Jialing was lucky to be born into a super wealthy family, but also unlucky to have no parents.
If they were allowed to choose when they were reincarnated, Su Miaomiao would still choose the Su family.
She likes her parents and Grandma Tao the most.
Back home, Su Miaomiao received a warm welcome from her parents. Su Mingan also prepared a supper for her daughter and invited Xie Jingyuan to eat with her.
Standing at the door, Xie Jingyuan could smell the smell of fried fish wafting from Su's restaurant.
"No, I still need to read."
Xie Jingyuan bid farewell to the couple and entered 1002.
Grandma Tao just came out of the bathroom, saw her grandson, smiled and asked about the evening self-study situation.
Xie Jingyuan chatted briefly.
Grandma Tao: "I warmed tofu and fried dough sticks for you, do you want to eat?"
Xie Jingyuan is in the stage of growing his body, he is indeed a little hungry, so he asked Grandma Tao to sit, and he went to the kitchen to get supper.
The grandfather and grandson sat at the dining table facing each other. Xie Jingyuan looked at Grandma Tao's kind face and mentioned Xu Shou.
"Grandma, Xu Shou has a withdrawn personality and doesn't get along with his roommates in the dormitory. I want to ask him to move in and live with us."
Grandma Tao looked at her grandson unexpectedly.
In the past, the acquaintances in the warm community praised his grandson for being helpful, but Grandma Tao knew that his grandson was kind-hearted but cold-tempered, and he was also a lonely kind. Among the children of the same age, the grandson only has one real friend, Miao Miao, like Lin Xi and Feng Xiaoyu, and the grandson has never taken the initiative to mention it to her. This Xu Shou, I only met at the beginning of high school, and my grandson has such a good relationship with him.
"It doesn't matter if there are more than one person, do you trust him?" Grandma Tao asked simply.
Xie Jingyuan: "If he can't be trusted, besides you, I don't know who else I can trust."
Grandma Tao smiled, her grandson is not an ordinary high school student, she believes in his judgment.
"Then it's settled. I'll pack up your father's things tomorrow and ask him to send someone to fetch them. You can bring Xu Shou over tonight."
Xie Rong is Grandma Tao's only son, and Grandma Tao must care about him.
However, since Xie Rong got married for the second time and abandoned their grandparents and grandchildren to start a new family, Grandma Tao's heart has also cooled down for the most part.
The initial freshness of the marriage passed, and the son started to annoy Qiao Lili, and only then did he think of staying here more often.
The so-called many means two or three nights a month. After all, Xie Rong is too busy. He is still in this city today, and he might go to another place tomorrow.
Grandma Tao really doesn't miss such a mother-child reunion.
Instead of leaving that secondary bedroom empty most of the time, give it to the grandson's new best friend.
The next day, Grandma Tao called Xie Rong.
Xie Rong was skeptical about the arrangement of the grandfather and grandson: "Is the classmate I just met reliable?"
Grandma Tao: "How long did you know Lili before you got married?"
Xie Rong: ...
