Chapter 845 Digging a Pond

In the evening, Xiao's mother and grandmother cooked a large table of dishes.

I also prepared a lot of desserts and fruits for Ajiu and Abai.

Xiao Xiao moved the desserts and fruits to the ground, and explained to the Xiao family members who were looking over, "There are too many dishes on the table, they are eating down below."

"Feifei, Taotie, you two should come down and eat together."

Xiao Xiao said softly.

"Ouch~"

"Coffee~"

The two monsters who were drooling and aggrieved just now immediately pounced on the food with shining eyes.

"Little glutton."

Xiao Xiao turned his back to the crowd and was not worried that they would see his actions.

He reached out and pressed down on Taotie's head, closing its wide-open mouth at the same time.

"This is for you to eat together."

“Watch how fast you eat.”

"Don't eat it all in one gulp."

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows were curved and his smile was very gentle.

Taotie felt the force on his head and nodded with a stiff expression.

"very good."

Xiao Xiao withdrew his hand with satisfaction.

"Eat it."

He stood up and took his seat at the dining table.

"Xiaoxiao, eat more. I cooked a lot of dishes today."

Xiao's mother picked up a piece of food for Xiao Xiao with her chopsticks and smiled gently.

"Xiaoxiao, drink a bowl of soup first."

Grandma Xiao scooped up the soup as she spoke, her eyes narrowed into slits.

"okay."

Xiao Xiao reached out and took the soup that his grandmother handed over.

"Okay, are you guys busy? Xiaoxiao can eat by herself."

"Will he be polite in his own home?"

Grandpa Xiao said helplessly.

"not busy."

Grandma Xiao didn't even look at Grandpa Xiao and replied casually.

Grandpa Xiao:
He turned to look at Father Xiao, "Look at your mother and your wife-"

The old man's voice stopped suddenly.

"What is it, Dad?"

Father Xiao took back the chopsticks that he had used to pick up a piece of pork chop for his son. Without hearing clearly what Grandpa Xiao said, he turned around and asked again.

".fine."

Grandpa Xiao twitched his lips.

After a lively dinner, the Xiao family packed up and went to cool off under the white plum tree.

This is a new habit that the Xiao family developed after discovering the magical power of the white plum tree.

"How about making a stone table and stone chair?"

“It’s troublesome to move so many things in and out every day.”

Father Xiao opened the folding table and chairs and expressed the idea he had had since the first time he enjoyed the cool air under the white plum tree.

Mother Xiao put the cut fruit on the table and said, "It's OK. It's not too troublesome."

"Stone table and stone chairs."

“Will it take up too much space?”

Father Xiao frowned slightly. He didn't say it until today because he had always been worried about Mother Xiao.

"Dad, Mom, what do you think?"

He wanted to ask for everyone's opinion.

Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao looked at each other.

"I have nothing to do with your mother."

Grandpa Xiao waved his hand and said, "Just do what you think."

That's it.

Father Xiao looked at his son again, "Xiaoxiao, what do you think?"

"Do you want to make a set of stone tables and stone benches?"

"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma,"

Xiao Xiao called everyone one by one.

"Huh? What happened to Xiaoxiao?"

Mother Xiao stopped what she was doing and looked at Xiao Xiao, "Are you so serious all of a sudden?"

“I want to dig two ponds inside the house.”

Xiao Xiao did not answer his father's question, but took this opportunity to propose a plan he had been thinking about for a long time.

"pond?"

Father Xiao, Mother Xiao, Grandpa Xiao, and Grandma Xiao said in unison, all with surprised expressions on their faces. "Yeah."

"One under the white plum tree, and one under the sycamore tree."

"It doesn't have to be too big, a small one will do."

The Xiao family members looked at each other.

"Xiaoxiao, why do you suddenly want to dig a pond in the yard?"

Father Xiao asked seriously.

"I want to raise fish, and frogs."

There was no trace of joking in Xiao Xiao's expression either.

"Raise fish? Frogs?"

The Xiao family members spoke in unison again, with even more confusion on their faces.

An idea suddenly occurred to Xiao's mother. "Are you referring to the two fish you keep in your room?"

“But it’s such a small fish.”

Why do we need to dig a pond to raise fish?

Not one pond, but two ponds.

How many fish do you want to raise?
And what about the frogs?

Mother Xiao's face was really full of question marks.

The other members of the Xiao family had expressions similar to Xiao's mother's.

"No."

Xiao Xiao shook his head, "It's other fish."

"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, I will tell you about this later."

“Can I dig two ponds in my yard?”

Xiao Xiao did not find any excuse for his somewhat inexplicable behavior.

He thought that the boss and the others already knew how special he was.

Then, perhaps, he can also let his family slowly realize that he is different.

Xiao Xiao's vague words naturally did not resolve the Xiao family's doubts.

However, they knew that Xiaoxiao must have some special reason to dig a pond.

As for the reason, the child said it and will tell them later.

“We need to dig two ponds?”

Grandpa Xiao confirmed.

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

"Dig it."

Grandpa Xiao said these two words very crisply and clearly.

Ok?
Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, then he smiled, "Thank you, Grandpa."

He looked at the others again.

"What are you looking at?"

Father Xiao curled his lips slightly, with a hint of smile in his eyes, "Your grandfather has agreed, how can we not agree?"

"Actually, Mom has thought about digging a pond in the yard and growing some lotus or water lilies."

Xiao's mother distributed the fruit in her hand to everyone, "But later we found it troublesome and stopped doing it."

"Yes, you told me about this at that time."

Grandma Xiao also remembered this incident.

"Dad, Mom, Grandma, thank you."

Although Xiao Xiao knew from the beginning that his family would agree to his request in the end.

However, he was still a little surprised and touched that she agreed so easily.

"Why are you being so polite, kid?"

Grandma Xiao was a little dissatisfied, "Isn't it just digging two ponds?"

"What's the big deal?"

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "I'm just worried that you don't want to mess around in the yard."

"Since we are going to dig a pond in the yard, let's also make a set of stone tables and stone benches."

Xiao's mother thought of Xiao's father's previous proposal and simply agreed to it.

We have to dig a pond, but what's the trouble with making a set of stone tables and stone benches?

"Ah."

No one objected to this.

For the following time, the Xiao family discussed digging a pond in the yard.

Looking at the enthusiastic crowd, Xiao Xiao felt helpless. In fact, they didn't need to do anything. As long as they agreed to dig two ponds in the yard, it would be fine.

As for the rest, “I can dig it myself.”

Xiao Xiao spoke.

He had checked online before and it wasn't something too difficult.

He can definitely handle it on his own.
