Chapter 35: Questioning
Mrs. Xia's words questioning the black cat made Xia Dabai, who was holding a pair of chopsticks and pulling vegetables into his mouth, pause slightly, and then continued to work hard......
"Xiao Wu, is this cat you want to raise or your mother wants to raise it?" Seeing Xia Dabai's absolutely humane movements, Mrs. Xia's brows furrowed even tighter, "Tell me the truth, you are not allowed to be sloppy." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"The ...... I want to raise," Charlotte reported truthfully, "Xia Dabai was picked up by me on the road, and its previous owner trained it very well, so it does many things better than other cats." β
"Its owner trained it so well, why did he abandon it?" Mrs. Xia looked at Xia Luowu with a disapproving expression, "Xiao Wu, listen to grandma, where did you pick it up and send it back, you have to raise a cat grandma and don't stop it, but you definitely can't raise a black one." β
"Grandma, I like Xia Dabai, it's a member of our family......" Xia Luowu looked at Mrs. Xia seriously, "If Grandma doesn't like it because of its color, it's unfair to it, the color of the coat is what it was born with, and it wasn't chosen, you can't discriminate against it because of this." β
"Grandma doesn't discriminate against it, it's just ......" Mrs. Xia looked at Xia Dabai's oily black fat body, and the dislike in her eyes added a little more, "A cat is so fat, it looks like it's a lazy one, it's not easy for your mother to raise you, plus a cat, isn't life even more difficult?" And the black cat is evil, if you really encounter something bad, it will be too late to regret it. β
"Grandma, if you really want to say that, Xia Dabai is still the lucky star of the family, since it came to our house, my mother was promoted, and I suddenly opened up my mind in learning......" Xia Luowu said as she reached out and touched Xia Dabai's fat head, "As for saying that it is fat, fat is a blessing, otherwise, how can it bring so many good things to the Lu family, right, grandma?" β
"Forget it, I'll talk to your mother about it, now let's talk about him......" Old Lady Xia's eyes turned to Nie Jiang, who was sitting silently on the side, "Who is this?" Why do you take your mom home for dinner when he's away? β
Nie Jiang hurriedly said: "Grandma, my name is Nie Jiang, and I am the cousin of Xiao Wu's good friend Nie Shui'er, because my sister and Xiao Wu both wanted to preview the textbooks of junior high school in advance, so I asked them to borrow two sets, Xiao Wu couldn't hold it, so I helped her send it back."
As for staying for dinner, it was because I heard that Aunt Xia would not be able to come back for a while, and I was worried that Xiao Wu would not be safe at home alone, so I decided to stay and wait for Aunt Xia or the neighbor's Grandma Lu to come back before leaving. β
When Nie Jiang explained, Xia Luo danced her eyebrows and was already dyed with a trace of depression, she didn't know much about the original owner's grandfather, but listening to Xia Yuerui's words, it should be a reasonable old couple, but after this old lady came, how could she pick on the thorns?
You talk about black cats, it can be said that people of this age have this kind of taboo, just like Grandma Lu didn't agree with Xia Dabai at the beginning, but then Xia Dabai only showed his hand simply, and the old lady fell in love with Xia Dabai, but looking at Mrs. Xia's appearance, it seems that she is a little bit unsalted.
As for questioning Nie Jiang to eat here, it is even more nonsense, she is only twelve years old, not seventeen or eighteen years old, the old lady asked this, is she thinking too much?
Old Mrs. Xia didn't feel Xia Luowu's unhappiness at all, turned her head to look at her and continued to ask, "Xiao Wu, I want to listen to your explanation." β
"What do I need to explain?" Xia Luowu looked at the old lady with a faint expression, "Grandma, don't say that Brother Da Jiang helped me, even if he didn't help me, as my good friend's brother, it's normal to stay for a meal, right?" β
"It's normal to stay and eat, but ......" sighed, Mrs. Xia's tone softened a little, "Maybe grandma's attitude makes you angry, but you also have to be considerate of grandma's feelings, girls, be careful and think a lot, it's easy to affect your studies, you see how difficult it is for your mother to take you alone?" Grandma doesn't want you to follow your mother's old path, Xiao Wu, you have to study hard and win glory for your mother, understand? β
The seventeen-year-old boy was the first time he had encountered such a thing, especially before he had strange feelings in his heart, which made him feel a little weak, and his face turned red without feeling it......
Charlotte's face flushed, tooβangry! Her words have been said so clearly, the old lady still says this, she is easy to say, but what about Nie Jiang? kindly helped, didn't say a word of thanks, and was splashed with dirty water, if she didn't explain it clearly, she really wouldn't have the face to see Nie Jiang in the future, and not only did she have no face to see him, but even Nie Shui'er, she didn't have the face to see him!
Suppressing all her emotions, Charlotte tried her best to calm herself and asked, "Grandma, do you know how old I am this year?" β
"Huh?" Mrs. Xia was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Silly child, how can grandma not know how old you are, you want to say that grandma doesn't have to worry about your age, right?" If you're a boy, grandma really doesn't have to worry about it at this age, but if you're a girl, grandma can't think about it too much. β
Xia Luowu looked at the old lady with an unhappy face: "Grandma means, in the future, I can only interact with female classmates and friends, all men, must be insulated, right?" β
"Grandma doesn't mean that, if normal communication is fine, but your situation today ......" Mrs. Xia sighed, "Dance, don't think grandma is nosy, grandma really scared your mother, even if there is a little sprout, grandma has to cut it off for you!" β
Xia Luowu looked at the old lady with a disappointed face, "Mom told me about her that day, she said that you and Grandpa are very reasonable elders, and she feels very ashamed of you, but what Grandma did today made me a little suspicious of Mom's previous judgment, obviously, you don't trust Mom at all, so when you come to me, you will give me such an indiscriminate hat."
You haven't thought about it, if you make such a fuss, how will I face Brother Dajiang and how will I face Shui'er in the future? The brothers and sisters are kind enough to help me, and grandma must be charged with a trumped-up crime, is it really appropriate? β
In fact, Mrs. Xia realized just now that she was a bit of a soldier, but she felt that she was an elder, and she was embarrassed to admit her mistake, so she thought that as long as her granddaughter said something soft, the matter would pass, but she didn't expect that her granddaughter, who had always been well-behaved and sensible, became so sharp and sharp that she didn't give her the slightest step, which made her face a little unbearable, and her face became difficult to look at.
Seeing that the atmosphere became a little stiff, Nie Jiang hurriedly said: "Xiao Wu, I can understand Grandma's feelings, she really cares about you, so she will ask so deeply, don't worry, I'm not that sensitive, I just encountered this kind of thing all at once, and I'm a little embarrassed."
It's not too early, since I have grandma here to accompany you, I won't stay longer......" While speaking, Nie Jiang got up and took his schoolbag, said goodbye to his ancestors and grandchildren, and rubbed Xia Dabai's head before turning around and walking out.
Xia Luowu followed, and after going out of the door, she said apologetically: "Brother Da Jiang, I'm sorry!" β
"Look at you, see you again, right? I said that I can understand......" Nie Jiang smiled and waved his hand, "The elders are like this, it is really because they feel sorry for you, speak well, and don't be a little temperant." β
"Okay." Xia Luo Dance responded, and really tried to adjust her emotions, she used to be very tolerant of her grandparents and grandparents, she really didn't get along with this kind of old man who loved to worry too much, and now she came out to take a breath, and her mood was much better, and therefore, after returning home, Xia Luo Wu smiled at Mrs. Xia: "Grandma, have you eaten?" β
"I've eaten it." The granddaughter was given to the bottom of the stairs, and there were no outsiders, and an obvious smile finally appeared on Mrs. Xia's face, "Dance, eat quickly, it's not good for your health if the meal is cold." Saying that, he couldn't help but shake his head at Xia Dabai, "This cat can also be eaten." β
Xia Luowu didn't answer, anyway, letting Xia Dabai stay had already obtained Xia Yuerui's consent, according to her observation of Xia Yuerui, she would never be discredited because of a few mutters from Mrs. Xia.
Obviously, Xia Dabai also thinks like that, no matter what Mrs. Ren Xia says, she just squats there and eats her own food without raising her head.
As soon as Xia Luowu put down the chopsticks, Mrs. Xia pushed her back to the room to study, saying that she would do the housework, Xia Luowu pushed for a while, and found that the old lady's personality was extremely stubborn, so she obeyed her wishes and went back to the room with her schoolbag.
