Chapter 212: Busy

I thought it would take a lot of effort to convince the old man to agree to keep the little fox in our house, but I didn't expect it to come so easily, so easily that it made me feel a little unreal. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now that the old man has accepted the raccoon, everything has become easier. When my mother and sister come back, there will naturally be an old man to help me talk to them, which will naturally be more appropriate than me to talk about it.

Although the old man has agreed to let the little fox stay, I can see that the old man still has some scruples. Looking at his expression, some of the words seemed to be said to me alone, not to be heard by the little fox.

After meeting, I found an excuse to break the little fox away.

"Dad, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

The old man did not speak immediately, but looked at the door, confirmed that the little fox was not there, and could not hear my conversation, and then said cautiously: "Boy, do you have no problem confirming the origin of the little fox?" What if she approached you with ulterior motives? ”

I wanted to laugh when I saw the old man's cautious appearance, but I still held back, after all, the old man didn't know the truth, and it was normal to be a little worried.

"Old man, I don't want to hit you, I just want to ask a question."

The old man nodded and motioned for me to ask.

"Is our family rich?"

"There's no money." Although the old man didn't want to admit it, he had to admit it.

"That's it, our family has no money and no house, if you say that the little fox really has ulterior motives, what is she trying to do? And you see that the little fox saw our house like this, and it didn't show anything unusual! Your old man can rest assured, I will definitely dare to pack a ticket for the little fox, there is no harm in letting her stay, only benefits! You and your mother have such a well-behaved and sensible girl, so you can steal the fun! ”

"yes!" The old man touched his chin and nodded, and then he suddenly realized something and said, "Hey, I said how do you talk kid?" What does it mean to have no house, did I let you live in a thatched house? ”

The old man said angrily, obviously disagreeing with me that I didn't have a house at home.

"Okay, okay, although your old man didn't let me live in the villa, he didn't let me blow the wind and rain either. Although it didn't let me live a life of fine clothes and food, it didn't let me sleep in the open either.

So, I am very grateful, grateful, and grateful to you and my mother for working hard for years to bring me up and provide for me to go to college. I said jokingly, but I said what I really meant.

"Even if you kid still have a little conscience, it's not in vain that your mother and I get up early and work late to earn money for you to study." The old man said with a smile, but I could clearly see a very strange light flashing in his eyes.

Suddenly, the old man looked at me with a very strange look, and he kept glancing at me.

"It's really strange, could it be that little girl has taken a fancy to you? Although you have inherited the fine tradition of your Lao Tzu, you are tall and very handsome, but you have not reached the realm of being handsome enough to let such a good-looking girl chase after you!

You say, why did such a beautiful little girl rely on you? Tell me honestly, what kind of method did your kid use to make the girl follow you with all her heart! The old man said suspiciously.

“……”

I was really speechless about the old man's question, do you want me to tell him that the little fox was entrusted to me by her fox mother before she died? Of course it won't work, if I could say it, I'd have said it a long time ago.

After boiling the bath water for the old man, I added a few scoops of water to the antimony pot (actually made of aluminum, but I don't know why we call aluminum products "antimony" there, such as antimony pots, antimony pots, etc.), and then slowly boiled them.

Because the kitchen collapsed, the stove naturally no longer exists, and now the stove used to boil water is temporarily built by a few large adobe bricks that I went to find, and then put the iron triangle in the middle to put the antimony pot to boil water.

However, this simple stove has many disadvantages, one is that the space is too small, so the speed of boiling water is relatively slow. In addition, when the fire is burned, the ash is relatively large, and it flies everywhere.

Of course, this stove still has advantages, mainly convenience, and now we use it to boil water.

By the time I boiled the water and soaked my feet with the little fox, it was almost ten o'clock. The temperature at night is very low, and the cold wind is blowing, making people just want to get into the bed.

Since the quilt I brought over yesterday was only enough for two beds, I had to squeeze in with the old man and let the little fox sleep in my sister's room. As soon as I fell asleep, Xiaoxi sent me a text message on QQ, saying that she couldn't sleep because it was too dark around here, and the bamboo shadows outside the window looked a little scary.

In the countryside, once it is night, it is almost pitch black everywhere, which is naturally not as good as in the city, and the street lamps illuminate the surroundings brightly.

Sent a message to comfort the little fox and tell her not to be afraid, and I was right next door, so she had something to call me. After the fox replied to me that she was not scared anymore and told me to go to bed early, I put down my phone and fell asleep peacefully.

I didn't say anything all night, and the next day before five o'clock, I was awakened by the sound of the old man lighting a cigarette with a lighter, it turned out that since the old man had surgery, the quality of sleep became very poor, and I couldn't sleep at five o'clock.

The old man swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog while reading the novel with his mobile phone! Of course, all the novels on his phone were asked him to download for him.

After being woken up by the old man, I suddenly lost my sleepiness, so I got out of bed and went to the next room to see the little fox.

When I was about to turn on the light in the fox's room, I felt a little uncomfortable when I saw the fox sleeping through the light in the living room, because the fox had completely covered herself in the bed and curled up together, just like when she was a fox, which is what the fox did when she was afraid.

I wanted to go up and comfort her, but then it occurred to me that there were some things that she would have to face alone sooner or later. So I quietly left the tanuki's room and went back to bed as if nothing had happened.

"The kid is good, he knows how to take care of people." The old man quipped, but his voice was very quiet, probably for fear of waking up the little fox.

"It was the raccoon that taught me that, in fact, the raccoon was by my side and taught me a lot of things. For example, when I was worried about Xiaoxi, when I went to work part-time to support her, I realized how difficult it was for you and your mother to pull my sister and me all these years. ”

After listening to my words, the old man was silent, because the light on the phone was too dim, so I couldn't see the expression on the old man's face.

"It's good to know, so you have to study hard in school."

I don't know why, when I talk about this kind of topic, I always feel that the atmosphere is a little quiet, so I finally changed the topic and discussed the plot of the novel with the old man.

Because most of the novels I downloaded for the old man were read by me, and I thought they were well written, so I was naturally able to answer them when the old man had doubts.

It was past six o'clock, and the old man and I both felt sleepy, so we continued to sleep.

It was almost ten o'clock when we slept that we got up, and it was almost twelve o'clock when we had boiled water and washed up, so we went out into the street and finished breakfast and lunch at once.

When you are on the road, you will inevitably meet people in the village, and those people will naturally inevitably ask the old man who the little fox is. In this regard, the old man and I had already discussed the countermeasures last night, and said to the outside world that the little fox was a distant relative of ours, but the little fox's parents had an accident, so they entrusted the little fox to our family.

When the old man said this, naturally no one doubted it, which was of course the best.

After solving the problem of food and clothing, the old man began to get busy, and he kept calling contacts. Because our kitchen is still crumbling there, we have to fix it before the Chinese New Year, otherwise where will we cook then?

In this cold winter, it is not very good to invite people to do things, after all, people at home during this time period are busy. But there is still half a month before the Chinese New Year, and the time is very tight.

Fortunately, the old man himself is a builder, and it is not difficult for him to build bricks and walls at all, plus there are a lot of bricks left when our family is repairing the house, so the old man went to the building materials store to buy a few bags of cement, and we are ready to start construction ourselves after returning home!

Because of this, we have also been busy in the past few days, so that Sister Minoru and their invitation to me to go out for a get-together were politely rejected by me.
