Chapter 30: Grandpa, Don't Be Foolish
Lying on a soft bed,
Shirley slowly opened her eyes, and she found herself like a chrysalis, wrapped in a warm blanket.
She sat up abruptly, looked around, and for a moment did not remember where it was, and after a moment remembered that she was not in the convent, nor on the Orient Express that she had been riding for a few days......
It's the Rove family.
But the blanket wasn't wrapped around by someone else, but she didn't sleep honestly last night and rolled herself up.
Shirley breathed a sigh of relief and lay back on the soft bed, wanting to sleep again, not because she didn't want to get up, but because the bed was too comfortable, like sleeping in a cotton ball.
The girl glanced at the clock on the wall before closing her eyes and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock......
It's already twelve o'clock!
She slept until noon!
Worst!!
Shirley sat up again, and she panicked, hurriedly put on her clothes and shoes, and began to comb her hair.
Compared to Hermione's messy hair, which could never be smoothed, Shirley could be supple with a slight comb.
The girl picked up the hair tie again, opened the curtains and the window at the same time, and saw a lake, sparkling in the sun, very beautiful
Shirley slowed down, and she stood by the window, where the wall was full of creepers, making a rattling sound as the wind blew.
Shirley tied herself in a ponytail, she gently shook her red hair, looked at the blue sky in the distance, stretched her waist and said:
"It's beautiful."
The girl walked out of the room quickly, and glanced at Rove's room next door...... The door was open, but sure enough, there was no one.
Nonsense, it's twelve o'clock at noon, who hasn't gotten up yet...... Thinking of this, Shirley felt that the whole person was not good.
Seeing the futon on Rove's bed, the girl hesitated, but walked in and helped him clean it up.
She folded the quilt neatly like a tofu cube cut out of a knife.
Such a good craft was practiced by Shirley in the convent.
After the girl cleaned up, she went into the bathroom, and on the shelf, there were brand new toiletries that Rove had prepared for her.
Shirley turned on the faucet, and the mirror suddenly shouted, "Who is the most beautiful mirror in the world?" “
"Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, you are the most beautiful mirror." Shirley replied.
"Hmph, that's pretty much it." The faucet is starting to come out.
Shirley was a little amused, she was shocked when she used the bathroom for the first time last night.
She was about to take a bath, but in the end she could only bite the bullet and awkwardly called Rove to help release the water.
After Shirley finished washing, she walked down the stairs to the first floor and found that there was no one in the living room, but lunch was being cooked in the kitchen.
A tree guard sat cross-legged by the stove, lazily basking in the harsh sun, its eyes wide open, staring at the flames, as if its task was not to burn the rice.
Shirley checked that lunch was almost ready, and she asked curiously:
"Groot, where's Rove?"
The tree protector raised his slender arm and pointed to the staircase leading to the basement.
The girl was about to walk over, but Groot pointed to the food box not far away.
Shirley knew that she would stay by the kitchen, wait for the meal to be cooked, put it in the food box, and then pick it up and walk down the stairs to the basement.
Groot's arm hooked the girl's dress, making an arc in the air and swinging over her shoulder.
Shirley walked down the stairs to the basement and opened the door to see a vast forest.
After spending a long time in Rove's box, Shirley was used to it, and she looked into the distance, saw Rove and Newt, and walked towards them.
Newt stood in front of a Riem cow, patted the cow's bulging stomach, and said:
"This is the ingestion of large amounts of legume plant stems and leaves such as peanut vines, pea vines or alfalfa, which causes acute swelling.
If the treatment is not timely or the method is improper, it is easy to lead to the sudden death of cattle and sheep, and it must be deflated in time......"
Rove bowed his head slightly.
Newt saw Shirley standing not far away with a food box in both hands, and the old man smiled, beckoned to the girl, and said, "Let's have lunch first." ”
He waved his wand again, and a wooden table and three stools appeared on the lawn not far away.
Rove walked briskly and took the food box from Shirley's hand, and he chuckled:
"I wanted to call you to breakfast in the morning, but when I opened the door, I saw you wrapped like a chrysalis...... Sleeping so dead didn't wake you up. ”
The girl's white-skinned face suddenly turned red.
Rove opened the food box and placed all the dishes on the table, and the three of them sat on the stools, chewing and swallowing slowly.
At the dinner table, Rove was still discussing the cow's treatment with Newt.
Shirley didn't bother the two, she sat quietly on the side, eating in small bites, and she silently remembered the details she heard, ready to go back and write them down in her notes.
After lunch, the girl put the bowls and spoons back into the food box, covered them, and turned away.
Newt sat down at the table and suddenly whispered, "Just take it in?" ”
"Shirley has nowhere else to go." Rove sighed:
"You don't see how skinny she was when I first saw her...... I ate the same kind of bread that had been left out for a long time.
That's why I paid Shirley and asked her to be my assistant. ”
"You're doing it right!" Newhead nodded and praised, he thought about it, but still reminded: "But you are still ...... young"
"Grandpa, we're really just classmates." Rove was a little speechless.
The old man laughed.
When he first met Tina, he said they were just friends.
Rove said helplessly: "Grandpa, don't think about it. ”
Newt smiled:
"It's not a blind thought, it's just that someone is delivering food, this kind of picture is so familiar, it used to be Tina...... Then it became your mother, and now there is another one, which is great! ”
“……”
Newt finished teaching Rove how to treat his cow for stomach bloating before turning around and leaving the basement.
Shirley had already finished washing the pots and pans, she walked over and sat down next to Rove, and she said a little shyly, "Sorry, I woke up late." ”
"It's okay, I often lie in bed." Rove smiled, "Let me tell you when my grandfather is just gone...... It's like your own home. ”
"Mr. Scamander is so kind." The girl breathed a sigh of relief, and she encouraged herself:
"I'm going to work hard, is there anything I need to do?"
"Not yet, I'll take you around the village later." Rove thought for a moment and said, "By the way, have you finished your homework?" ”
"I'm done." Shirley nodded and said, "Every night, I stay up late at the monastery to write secretly, so I have a lot of free time now. ”
"That's good." Rove nodded with satisfaction, and he suddenly smiled:
"As my assistant, I'm going to give you my first assignment."
"What task?" Shirley's expression was serious.
"Lend me your summer homework to copy, I haven't written the history of magic yet."
