Chapter 332 Mushrooms
"嘤嘤~"
When Yingshao saw that he was beaten to the punch by some stupid monster again, he couldn't help but secretly roll his eyes at the Owl. However, the slow-witted and thick-skinned Owl was unaware of anything and just gave Xiao Xiao a silly smile.
The baby spoon was once again injured by the pigeon unconsciously: ...
The baby spoon was positioned in front of the pigeon, its snow-white wings spread out, and the bright light attracted Xiao Xiao's attention.
Noticing Xiao Xiao's gaze, the baby spoon was secretly delighted, and it said, how could a stupid monster be more obedient and flattering than it?
The pigeon looked at the baby spoon in front of it with a silly and cute face, somewhat confused.
Xiao Xiao tapped the baby spoon's head lightly with amusement.
"Cuckoo~"
A cheerful voice, as if laughing?
Xiao Xiao looked at the fungus man.
The fungus man really had a smile on his face and his eyes were full of smiles. After noticing Xiao Xiao's gaze, he covered his mouth with his little hands in embarrassment, and his brown eyeballs rolled around.
Compared to the initial restraint, the fungus people are now much more relaxed and lively.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows, but did not expose the monster's "covering one's ears and stealing the bell". He just glanced at the faces of the three monsters one by one and reminded them, "You three should get along well."
After he finished speaking, Xiao Xiao stood up and walked into the house. He heard the cries of three monsters, "Chirp~", "Bingying~", and "Gugu~".
These three have a tacit understanding.
Hearing the three cries almost in unison, Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth.
Now his yard is becoming more and more lively.
When he digs a pond in the yard one day, it will be really lively.
Well, maybe one is not enough, after all, the mullet is not very willing to "share a room" with other monsters.
How about digging two ponds, one big and one small?
……
"The third one?"
Zhang Bo’s shout brought Xiao Xiao back to his senses.
"What are you thinking about? So obsessed?"
Zhuge Yun patted Xiao Xiao's shoulder. Even though he was pretending because Xiao's mother was beside him, Xiao Xiao could see the strong gossipy light in someone's eyes.
Xiao Xiao's mouth twitched.
"Xiaoxiao, kid, why did you leave your classmates aside?"
Xiao's mother came out of the kitchen carrying dishes and said with some blame.
Xiao Xiao:.
Faced with such accusations, Xiao Xiao could only accept it helplessly.
He took the dish from Xiao's mother and said, "It's my fault."
"You, it's so rare for your classmates to come home, why are you so neglectful?"
Just as Xiao Xiao was about to continue to admit his mistake, Zhuge Yun's voice rang out, "Aunt, it's okay. We brothers have a good relationship. We don't need to care about these superficial things."
"Besides, this isn't our first time here, so we don't need the Third Brother to accompany us."
"Uh-huh."
Zhang Bo and Zhao Lu nodded hurriedly in response to Zhuge Yun's words.
Xiao Xiao pulled out a chair for his mother, "Mom, please sit down."
Then he asked curiously, "Dad, why don't grandpa and grandma come to eat?"
Lunchtime is the quietest time in the teahouse, after all, most people come to drink tea in the morning or afternoon.
After all, only a few people really eat snacks as a full meal.
So this time every day is the Xiao family’s default meal time, or they can go back to their room and take a nap.
"There are customers in the teahouse ahead, and your dad and his friends are still busy."
"Let's eat first."
Xiao's mother explained.
"Okay, let's eat then."
Xiao Xiao asked Zhang Bo and others to sit down.
……
Zhang Bo and others were full of praise for Xiao's mother's craftsmanship.
All the dishes were delicious, especially the soup made from a hodgepodge of various mushrooms, which was so fresh that they almost swallowed their tongues.
After dinner, Xiao Xiao and Zhang Bo took the initiative to clean up and wash the dishes.
Xiao's mother couldn't persuade them and could only let them do it.
……
Even though Xiao Xiao's kitchen was relatively spacious, it couldn't accommodate four grown boys, especially the tall and strong Zhang Bo. So, in the end, Xiao Xiao and Zhao Luzheng stayed behind to wash the dishes.
Zhuge Yun went to chat with Xiao's mother.
Zhang Bo also took the opportunity to say a few words.
Mother Xiao was very happy with what the two sweet-talkers said.
Hearing the laughter coming from the living room, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
……
Xiao Xiao and his friends rested for a while, ate some fruit, and then prepared to leave with the snacks that Xiao's mother had packed for them.
"You can come whenever you want. You don't have to bring Xiaoxiao with you."
"Auntie welcomes you very much."
"When the time comes, Auntie will prepare delicious food for you."
"Thank you, aunt."
"Aunt, in order to eat your food again, we will shamelessly come here often even if Xiao Xiao doesn't bring us."
"Yes, auntie, please don't look down on us when the time comes."
……
"Goodbye, aunt."
"Goodbye, be safe on your way back."
"understood."
Zhang Bo and his companions walked out of the gate of the yard first, while Xiao Xiao stayed where he was.
"Xiaoxiao, is there anything else?"
When Xiao's mother saw her son left alone, she asked with some confusion.
"What's wrong? Is it because you don't have enough living expenses?"
Without waiting for Xiao Xiao to answer, Xiao's mother said with sudden enlightenment.
Xiao Xiao has always been a worry-free child and never spends money indiscriminately. He spends whatever they give him and almost never asks them for extra money.
But things are different after entering university. There are more places to spend money. Within her means, Xiao's mother naturally does not want to let her child down.
"I'll give you some more."
Xiao's mother pretended to go into the house to get her cell phone.
Xiao Xiao held onto his mother, feeling somewhat amused and confused. He didn't understand why the topic had turned here when he hadn't said anything.
"Mom, I don't need money."
This is the truth. He still has more than two million in his bank card. How could he be short of money?
"You don't have to give it to me."
"Is there really no shortage?"
Mother Xiao was a little skeptical, but she didn't give up the idea of giving money. "It's okay. I'll give you some if you don't need it."
"When you enter university, you have to spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation, so don't treat yourself too badly in normal times."
"If you don't have enough money, tell your mother."
"I know, thank you, Mom."
Seeing that his mother insisted, Xiao Xiao had no choice but to accept her kindness, but he felt warm in his heart.
……
"So what are you doing here?"
After transferring the money, Xiao's mother suddenly thought of this question: since he was not asking for money, then why?
"Mom, look here."
Xiao Xiao led his mother to the paulownia tree.
He had specially observed this before, and sure enough, while they were eating, the mushroom man had already "planted" the mushrooms back on the roots of the sycamore tree.
The mushroom man was lying on the cap of the shiitake mushroom, looking quite contented.
……
"Hey, why is there a mushroom growing here?"
Xiao's mother noticed at a glance that the paulownia tree was different from before.
After all, a mushroom standing alone on the root of the tree is so strange and eye-catching that it couldn't be more obvious.
