MTL - Taoist Master and the Cat-Chapter 5
The night before her birthday, Grandma Tao cooked two small bowls of longevity noodles for Su Miaomiao and Xie Jingyuan.
The hand-rolled noodles made by Grandma Tao, the noodles are smooth and fragrant, and a poached egg, two fish **** are added on top, and of course green vegetables are indispensable.
Su Miaomiao almost ate up the whole bowl, leaving only the vegetables.
"Miaomiao can't be a partial eclipse." Grandma Tao kindly encouraged her.
Su Miaomiao looked at Xie Jingyuan, he ate slowly, there was still some left, but the green vegetables had already been eaten.
Su Miaomiao really wanted to give Xie Jingyuan her green vegetables, but unfortunately Grandma Tao kept watching, she had no chance and could only eat them obediently.
The next morning, Su Miaomiao received a birthday present from her parents.
What Su Mingan gave was a gold bar, and what Tang Shiwei gave was a set of beautiful new clothes.
The couple prepared gifts separately, and wanted to compare whose gift would be more pleasing to the daughter.
With two gifts in front of her, Su Miaomiao's eyes were directly attracted by the gold bars.
"What a little money fan!" Tang Shiwei was willing to admit defeat and kissed her daughter.
Su Ming'an: "It's good to be a money fan. When you grow up, you only focus on making money, so you don't have to worry about being scammed."
The couple helped their daughter put on new clothes, sent them to Xie's house, and went to work.
Grandma Tao and Aunt Song were still busy, Su Miaomiao sat alone on the carpet with Xie Jingyuan.
The child's eyes were still developing, and he couldn't read for a long time. Xie Jingyuan sat facing the window, as if attracted by the scene on the road outside.
Su Miaomiao was lying beside her, but felt that he seemed to be meditating, but it was just that he didn't assume the serious meditation posture.
"Master Dao, are we good friends now?" Su Miaomiao asked in a low voice.
Xie Jingyuan lowered his eyes, meeting her black eyes with slightly raised tails.
Her eyes, very similar to the cat's eyes in her previous life, seemed innocent and concealed a hint of seductiveness.
"What do you want to say?" He asked lightly.
Su Miaomiao narrowed her eyes slightly with a smile: "Mom and Dad gave me birthday presents this morning, and they also said that when I go to school and make good friends, my good friends will also give me birthday presents on my birthday."
Xie Jingyuan: "Do you want me to give you a gift?"
Su Miaomiao looked forward, but said, "If you treat me as a good friend."
Xie Jingyuan didn't make any friends, not before practicing, but after practicing, there are only fellow disciples.
It's the first time for a cat demon to be a decent human being, so a little bit of greed doesn't hurt.
"What do you want?" Xie Jingyuan asked. His current property mainly includes various picture books and toys. Originally, the two of them read and played together. It is estimated that she is not interested.
Su Miaomiao's eyes flickered, and she hinted very clearly: "I like things that are shiny and shiny."
Xie Jingyuan immediately thought of the gold bracelets that Xie Rong gave them during the Chinese New Year, both he and Su Miaomiao had.
Gold is valuable property, he didn't like to wear it, so Grandma Tao put it away.
If he secretly gave it to Su Miaomiao, Grandma Tao would think that the family property had been stolen. If he directly discussed with Grandma Tao, even if Grandma Tao was willing to give it away, Su Mingan and his wife would never accept it and would ask Su Miaomiao to return it.
Xie Jingyuan explained this truth to the cat.
Su Miaomiao was very disappointed, being a man is so complicated.
Xie Jingyuan: "These are the ways of the world, you have to study hard."
Su Miaomiao nodded absently.
Xie Jingyuan looked at her disappointed look, thought for a while, walked away, and came back with an extra piece of chocolate in his hand.
Xie Jingyuan doesn't like this kind of sweet and greasy snacks, but he knows that Su Miaomiao likes to eat them, but the adults strictly control the portion, Su Miaomiao can't eat enough every time.
Seeing the chocolate, Su Miaomiao's eyes lit up, and she snatched it quickly.
She ate a piece of chocolate quickly, and licked her lips, including the finger that held the chocolate.
Xie Jingyuan frowned and said, "Don't lick your fingers."
Su Miaomiao paused.
Xie Jingyuan grabbed the small towel that was put aside and helped her dry her dirty little hands.
The two were very close, Su Miaomiao looked at him, suddenly pouted her lips, and kissed Xie Jingyuan's face.
Xie Jingyuan froze all over.
Su Miaomiao smiled: "Dad said, a girl's kiss is very precious, you can't kiss others casually, and you can't let others kiss casually, then I will kiss you for a long time, and it will be considered as a birthday present for you."
Xie Jingyuan looked at the cat in front of him with complicated eyes.
He has seen with his own eyes that she wants to pick up a brothel benefactor. The old demon has a vicious heart, and doing this kind of thing is full of evil meanings. She is different. Her eyes were pure and clean, but it was the benefactor with lewd eyes, more like a profiteer.
In other words, this is a simple cat demon who is ignorant of the world, and has turned into a naive and ignorant child.
Xie Jingyuan wiped the place where she kissed with his fingers, and there were some brown stains on his fingertips, which were the chocolate left in her mouth.
Xie Jingyuan looked at her with great disgust: "It's dirty, don't treat kisses as gifts anymore, no one will like it."
She is still young, let's explain it this way for now, when she goes to school, she will learn how to get along with men and women by herself.
Su Miaomiao was deeply shocked by his eyes.
Cats love to be clean, and she is no exception. She always grooms her hair to be as white as snow. This is the first time in her two lives that someone thinks it is dirty.
Xie Jingyuan didn't need to say anything, Su Miaomiao went to wash her mouth by herself.
Grandma Tao didn't know about the episode between the children, so she secretly called her son Xie Rong and asked him to come back tonight to celebrate his grandson's birthday.
"It doesn't matter how busy you are usually, you must be there for Jing Yuan's birthday."
Xie Rong: "He is only two years old, what can he remember? When he goes to elementary school, I will definitely accompany him."
Grandma Tao: "If you don't come tonight, you won't use it in the future."
After finishing speaking, Grandma Tao hung up the phone, and when she came out to face the child, she smiled amiably again, as if nothing had happened.
While the children were taking a nap, Grandma Tao went to the cake shop to pick up the cakes and put them in the refrigerator to cool.
After five o'clock, Su Mingan came back first.
He opened a decoration company and is his own boss. He has more free time. Although he is very busy, he must make time for his daughter's birthday.
After returning home and changing clothes, Su Mingan came to 302 to help prepare dinner.
My daughter loves fish, so Su Mingan is going to cook braised mandarin fish in braised sauce and stew fish head soup tonight.
Su Miaomiao and Xie Jingyuan sat on the carpet, Su Miaomiao sniffed and said to Xie Jingyuan: "My father's fish is very delicious."
Xie Jingyuan looked indifferent.
Su Miaomiao remembered that Xie Jingyuan used to be a vegetarian in the Taoist temple, and he became a child who couldn't control three meals, so he started eating meat, but he usually doesn't pay much attention to his appetite, and the most he eats is vegetables.
The two had no common topic on food, so Su Miaomiao sat aside and played with the toy car that Su Mingan had just given to Xie Jingyuan.
Xie Rong and Qiao Lili also came, and also brought gifts for the children.
Seeing Su Mingan wearing an apron busy in the kitchen, Xie Rong took Qiao Lili over and introduced him first, then asked Qiao Lili to accompany the child, and he stood at the door of the kitchen chatting with Su Mingan.
Qiao Lili looked at Su Miaomiao who was playing with the car, and then at Xie Jingyuan who had a calm face, and sat awkwardly on the sofa.
Grandma Tao helped her turn on the TV, served some fruit and walked away.
It was almost six o'clock, and Tang Shiwei finally got off work, holding two bouquets of flowers in her hand.
Su Mingan came out from the kitchen, saw his wife, and asked curiously, "Where did you get the flowers?"
Tang Shiwei smiled: "I bought it. Although today is for the children's birthday, we must not forget the two great heroes."
After changing the slippers, Tang Shiwei gave the flowers to Grandma Tao and Aunt Song respectively.
Grandma Tao rolled her eyes with a smile, and even praised Tang Shiwei for her beauty and sweet mouth.
After boasting, Grandma Tao took Tang Shiwei to the sofa and introduced Qiao Lili.
We all know each other, and it's time for dinner.
Su Miaomiao sat between her parents, Su Mingan and Tang Shiwei first put all their daughter's food on the dinner plate, and then they didn't care about it.
Xie Jingyuan over there also ate very well by himself.
Seeing this, Xie Rong flattered Grandma Tao: "It's still my mother who will take care of the children, let's see how good these two children are."
Su Mingan and Tang Shiwei nodded repeatedly.
Grandma Tao waved her hand: "It has nothing to do with me, it was born between the two of them. Such an obedient baby is hard to come by."
Su Miaomiao looked at Xie Jingyuan proudly while putting food into her mouth, listen, everyone praised her for being good.
Xie Jingyuan remained expressionless.
Qiao Lili felt that Grandma Tao was just being modest. Children must be taught by adults. Grandma Tao is so good at taking care of children. When she gives birth, should I ask Grandma Tao to help?
However, Qiao Lili quickly dismissed this idea.
It is easy for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along with each other, and Grandma Tao will definitely move there with Xie Jingyuan. The new house is not her and Xie Rong's small home.
"We're getting married on May 1st, when that time comes, bring Miao Miao over to dinner." Xie Rong formally invited Su Ming'an and his wife.
The couple who had already learned the inside story from their daughter were not surprised, and said yes with a smile.
Qiao Lili blushed and guessed that Grandma Tao told her neighbors about her pregnancy.
She bit her lips lightly, and looked at Xie Rong quietly.
Xie Rong noticed it, and didn't take it seriously, everyone is so familiar, so what if they know, what age is it, and it's not shameful to get pregnant before marriage.
He continued to drink with Su Mingan.
After dinner was finished, Grandma Tao brought over the cream cake, a ten-inch cream cake with two candles inserted on it, and the words "Happy Birthday to Miaomiao and Jing Yuan".
Su Miaomiao and Xie Jingyuan were placed side by side on the chairs, blowing out the candles together.
Su Miaomiao liked this game and looked at Xie Jingyuan.
Xie Jingyuan told her with his eyes that the two candles belonged to her.
Su Miaomiao was impolite, inhaled, puffed up her cheeks, and blew hard.
The candle was extinguished, and two wisps of smoke rose.
Tang Shiwei asked her daughter: "What wish did Miaomiao make?"
Su Miaomiao: "I think there is cake to eat every day."
The adults laughed, and Grandma Tao asked Xie Jingyuan again.
Xie Jingyuan didn't want to talk.
Grandma Tao: "If you don't say it, don't say it. Let me cut the cake."
Both kids got a small portion.
Su Miaomiao ate deliciously, she got a little cream on her fingers, and just about to lick it off, remembering Xie Jingyuan's lesson, she stretched out her little hand to her mother.
Tang Shiwei smiled and helped her daughter wipe it clean.
Su Miaomiao smiled at Xie Jingyuan again.
Xie Jingyuan silently looked away.
Sitting opposite Xie Rong, seeing this scene in his eyes, he had another understanding.
He felt that Su Miaomiao was showing off to her son that she had a mother, and the son was depressed, so he must be very envious.
Thinking of his ex-wife who died in a car accident, Xie Rong inevitably felt a little sad.
So, after eating the cake, he went over to hug Xie Jingyuan, stroked his son's head and said, "Dad will sleep at home tonight, and we, father and son, will sleep in the same bed."
He was full of paternal love, but Xie Jingyuan said: "I sleep by myself."
Xie Rong: ...
Grandma Tao: "Jing Yuan has already slept in the crib by himself, even I don't want it."
Xie Rong was still a little embarrassed.
Su Ming'an: "Our family, Miao Miao, also likes to sleep by herself, and she doesn't even want to carry her to the big bed."
Su Miaomiao nodded cooperatively.
That smart and cute little appearance made Xie Rong laugh.
