Chapter 3: Fostered at Xiao Mao's House (Part I)
Because of Xiao Mao's relationship, Xiao Zhi has been frantically making up for Pokémon knowledge at home for the past two days. It's just that I remembered, and it's a little pitiful. Ash thought that if he didn't see Xiaomao at home, it would be difficult for them to see each other again before their tenth birthday. Unexpectedly, his mother, Hanako, was going to go to the city with the other women in the town after receiving a phone call.
When Ash heard this, he said very confidently, "I can take care of myself, Mom, you don't have to worry about me." ”
Hanako looked at such a confident child, although she didn't want to hit his self-confidence. But how do you reassure her that Ash, who can't even cook, is at home, especially since she's away from home for three days. In order not to let Ash stay at home and starve to death, or not to rest on time while he is not at home. Hanako still contacted Dr. Ohki, hoping that Ash would stay with Dr. Ohki for two days.
When Yukinari Oki heard this, he thought of Shigeru. Recently, I haven't seen Ash looking for him, and I've started to study that kind of selflessness again. At this moment, Hanako actually wanted to send Ash to their side, and Dr. Oki instantly saw a savior. quickly agreed, and dragged Xiao Mao out of the real room, and asked him to clean up the guest room that was temporarily used as a clutter.
After hearing this, Xiao Mao felt that in his impression, he didn't seem to have heard of anyone who wanted to use it, why did he suddenly have to clean up the guest room? After asking his doubts, the answer he got was that Ash's mother Hanako needed to leave the house for three days, and let Ash come to borrow it for two days.
"Let him live with me. Xiao Mao calmly said the solution, and then wanted to drill into the real room again, but was stopped by his grandfather, Yukinari Oki. "Are you sure?" I have the impression that the two of them get along very lively.
"My room is just big enough, and grandpa, are you sure you want to clean up the guest room that has been completely reduced to a storage room?" Xiao Mao looked at his grandfather. If he's not mistaken, there's a lot of clutter in one of the storage rooms. I haven't cleaned it up for so long, and it's dirty and messy inside. Can you really pour out a place for Ash to rest in a day?
"Uhh So he didn't seem to have a guest room at all...... "I'm sorry for you, Xiaomao." ”
"It's okay, I often fall asleep in the research room anyway. By the way, Grandpa, I just found something very interesting. Xiao Mao said indifferently, he was looking through other people's research these days. I rarely go back to my room to rest, but I find something interesting in it.
"Oh, tell me about it. Yukinari Oki was also interested. For his grandson Xiaomao, he began to specialize in revealing the magic of elves from such a young age. Yukinari Oki is proud and supportive. Because it means that he has a successor. Moreover, Xiao Mao's mind is very quick, and his attitude towards research is particularly serious, which can be said to be his true biography.
Xiao Mao brought Yukinari Oki here, and Yukinari Oki specially built a research room for him, exclusive to him. Brought up what he had just discovered.
The two began a new round of professional discussions. The two discussed late, and Yukinari Oki was glad that his grandson would be so serious about absorbing new knowledge, and he was happy to share his ideas with him. Then they got new inspiration from their grandson, and the old and the young were so happy that they had to sleep in the research room again.
When the next morning, the two were woken up by the ringing of the doorbell. Xiao Mao asked his grandfather, who was a little wayward at some moments, to return to the room to make up for sleep. He himself rubbed his eyes and opened the door.
Hanako took Ash into the house, and when she saw Xiao Mao, who looked slightly tired, she wondered, "Xiao Mao, what are you?"
"Aunt Hanako, good morning, I discussed something with my grandfather yesterday. The rest was a little late. Although Xiao Mao was a little tired, he still welcomed Xiao Zhi's mother and son into the living room very politely.
I went to the kitchen to make tea, took out some snacks and fruits, and placed them in front of Ash and Hanako. Hanako saw that Xiao Mao was so capable, and couldn't help but admire, "Xiao Mao is really capable, much more worry-free than my Xiao Zhi." If this kid Ash was as self-reliant as you, I wouldn't have to send him to anyone's house. ”
Aunt Hanako said with a smile, once grandpa studied something, he would forget to eat. I had no choice but to take the initiative to take care of the clutter in the house. Xiao Mao sat on the sofa opposite Hanako and Xiao Zhi, and said helplessly.
"I'm going to leave home for three days, and our family Ash will ask you for these three days, Xiaomao. Hanako looked at Xiao Mao and said seriously. Xiaomao nodded, "I'll be optimistic about Ash, Aunt Hanako, please rest assured." ”
"If there is Xiaomao, I am very relieved. Hanako nodded her head after hearing Shigeru's reply. What Xiao Mao said, she was relieved. looked at Xiaomao, and then looked at his child Xiaozhi. The mother's unique worries resurfaced, and Hanako involuntarily told Ash again, "Ash, you have to be obedient, go to bed before ten o'clock, remember to eat on time, don't go out too late to play, and listen to Xiaomao." ”
"I know. Xiao Zhi replied with some reluctance, why did he listen to Xiao Mao? Xiao Mao is obviously not resting on time like this now! He has a much more regular life than him, why does his mother still let him listen to Xiao Mao. Depressed, Xiao Zhi, who didn't know what to say, could only glance to the side, nodding carelessly to indicate that he had listened, but his heart was full of complaints.
Hanako shook her head helplessly when she saw Ash's childish side, she also knew how Ash and Shigeru got along. I didn't say anything more. Instead, he followed Xiao Mao to say goodbye and gently reminded Xiao Mao. When you make a new discovery, when you have a new idea, it's really about grabbing inspiration. However, the premise is that you have a good body.
Xiao Mao smiled awkwardly, accidentally discussing a little too excited, usually he wouldn't do this. After all, he is also responsible for taking care of his grandfather. You can't just be two people in the research room and not come out to clean up the house and cook.
"I just want to tell you to take good care of yourself. Hanako reached out and patted Shigeru on the shoulder, then turned to leave. After watching Aunt Hanako leave, Xiaomao returned to the house.
Ash was sitting on the couch, looking around. And after seeing Xiao Mao come back, Xiao Zhi immediately asked, "Where is my room?" He lives in their house, he should always give him a guest room, right? I saw Xiao Mao's complexion was not good before, and he must have gone to rest. Ash, who didn't want to disturb Xiaomao's rest, wanted to go to the room that belonged to him temporarily.
After hearing Ash's question, Xiao Mao said a little tiredly, "Follow me." It just so happened that he was about to go back to rest, hoping that Ash wouldn't be frightened by this, and that he would lose sleep.
"Xiao Mao, are you okay?" Xiao Zhi looked at Xiao Mao, who was slightly tired in a white coat, and asked with some concern. After all, in addition to their rival relationship, they are also friends.
"It's fine, just a little sleepy. Xiao Mao heard Xiao Zhi's concern, and replied with a little spirit. He really has nothing to do, it's just that as a child who hasn't passed his tenth birthday yet, it's a little too early to stay up late.
"Then go back to sleep, just tell me where my room is, and I'll find it myself." "Ash thinks it's just such a house, can't he find a room where it is?
"We were in a room. Xiao Mao said in a calm tone, a word that was not very ordinary for Ash. "What?"
"We were in one room because many of the rooms in this building were converted by my grandfather into rooms for research needs. The few rooms that are left behind also serve as storage rooms. So, you were arranged to live with me. Xiao Mao was a little tired, so he didn't deliberately tease Ash. In a tone that Ash could understand, he explained things briefly.
"Oh. Ash, who understood, nodded, so that's the case...... "I'm going to sleep with you?"
"Yes. It's here. Xiao Mao stopped at the door of a room, reached out to open the door, and walked in. The room was large but tidy, much better than Ash's surprisingly messy room.
Shigeru invited Ash to walk in and closed the door. Said to Xiao Zhi, "I'll sleep for a while, you can look at the things in the room casually, but don't make too much of a mess." ”
"I'm not going to move. Hurry up and rest, I'm still waiting to find you a shame. Ash thought that the question he had spent a lot of time finding after knowing that he wanted to meet Xiao Mao would definitely stump Xiao Mao. Thinking of this, Ash couldn't help but urge Xiao Mao to rest quickly, so that when Xiao Mao woke up, they could start a new decisive battle, but fortunately, before becoming a Pokemon trainer, they could be ashamed!
After hearing Ash's words, Xiao Mao looked at Ash with a smile, "Even if I'm very tired now, I can definitely answer your common sense questions that don't need to know your brain." ”
"Hmph, can you answer until you wake up. I don't want to be told that you're taking advantage of others. "Ash really wants to say the topic and extinguish Xiaomao's prestige. It's just that I saw Xiao Mao's sleepiness that couldn't be hidden. He pursed his lips and refuted Xiao Mao's provocative behavior in an awkward way.
Xiao Mao saw that Xiao Zhi didn't take the bait, and raised his eyebrows unexpectedly. But he also knew that what he should do at the moment was to rest, not to talk to Ash. "Well, since you unexpectedly uttered an idiom, I'll postpone the question of how easily I can win until I wake up. ”
"What is that?" Xiao Zhi, who heard the vocabulary he didn't know very well, looked at Xiao Mao suspiciously. The corners of Xiao Mao's mouth twitched, and he seemed to feel that his head hurt a little more.
Shigeru continued his previous approach, ignoring some of Ash's unusual lack of common sense. Throw himself into a double bed that was slightly larger for his size.
Ash watched Shigeru lying on the bed, seemingly asleep. Seeing that he didn't change into a more relaxed clothes, he lay on the bed and fell asleep Xiao Mao. After fighting in my heart for a long time, I finally decided to go over and cover Xiao Mao with a thin blanket.
Ash wanted to see what was in Shigeru's house. But when he picked up a book and found that he couldn't read anything written on it, Ash gave up.
Ash, who felt bored, could only look at Xiao Mao who was asleep in a daze. Looking at it, I felt a little sleepy. With a yawn, Ash fell asleep on the table.
By eleven o'clock, Xiao Mao had woken up from his slumber. Sitting up, the thin blanket covering his body slipped off, and Xiao Mao looked at the thin blanket on his body and was stunned for a moment. Turning his head slightly, he saw Ash lying on the table and sleeping soundly. Smiled helplessly. Shigeru got out of bed, walked over with a thin blanket, and covered Ash's body. Shigeru left the room lightly.
Shigeru came to the kitchen and simply made something that was not too greasy for him and his grandfather for breakfast, and for Ash it was a lunch meal. In his free time to cook, Xiao Mao cleaned the house by the way.
After cooling the food for a while, Xiao Mao went to take out the video from the camera again. In the afternoon, I plan to organize the details recorded in it into useful numbers.
After doing this, Xiao Mao set the table, went upstairs and knocked on his grandfather's door first, and woke him up. Let him go downstairs to eat. Then Xiaomao went to call Ash again.
After being woken up, Ash, who was sleeping in a daze, asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is it night? I've slept for so long?"
"Haven't slept that long, Ash, it's time for lunch. Xiao Mao said with a little cry and laughter when he saw Xiao Zhi in such a daze.
"Well, lunch. I'll sleep a little longer, leave me alone. Hearing that it was just lunch, Ash, who was sleeping soundly, decided not to eat it. When Xiao Mao heard this, he raised his eyebrows. Don't eat it?Aunt Hanako left you to me to take care of you. "Ash, didn't you say that when I wake up, you're going to have a duel with me?"
"What, duel! Can it start now?" Xiao Zhi, who was still a little confused, sat up violently, and stared at Xiao Mao with a pair of eyes very energetically. Xiao Mao, who was watching, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth twice. Sure enough, this trick is very useful...... "Go downstairs to eat, and if you want to duel, you have to finish eating." Xiao Zhijun who has lost one hundred and forty rounds. At the end, Xiao Mao habitually put on a slightly sadistic smile, and the flame in Xiao Zhi's heart was rushing out.
When they finished eating, they went about their duties. Shigeru took advantage of the time to clean up the dishes and chopsticks to accept Ash's challenge and once again set a new winning record. On the other hand, Ash once again refreshed the record of defeat.
Shigeru turned on the computer in his room for Ash to play. And he started to help his grandfather sort out the numbers.
Shigeru made dinner on time, and after dinner, Ash was in Shigeru's room, watching the show about the Pokémon competition.
When he felt sleepy, he found that it was already half past eleven. After discovering that Xiao Mao had not come back to sleep, Xiao Zhi went downstairs to find Xiao Mao.
Xiao Mao was also going to go up to rest, so he took Xiao Zhi to the research room belonging to his grandfather Yukinari Oki and dragged it out. Romance washed up and changed into pajamas. Or then go back to the room with Ash, and the two of them lie down under the sky blue quilt. Say a good night pillow lightly, you will be very unaccustomed. Because of the people around him, they closed their eyes and rested. Ash thought he would suddenly share a bed with someone, but to his surprise, he slept peacefully. And Xiao Mao had already fallen asleep, but I don't know if it was, or because he was tired after working all afternoon......
