Chapter 183 The haggard middle-aged woman
"It's a hard work for these two old people. What you said about the child's parents is true. Not long after the child came out of the hospital, they abandoned the child to their parents again."
Mother Xiao was a little emotional.
"Children also miss their parents, right? And the old man is getting older..."
Mother Xiao muttered, took the towel from Xiao Xiao's hand, and wiped Xiao Xiao's hair.
Xiao Xiao didn't refuse either, and would say a few words to Xiao's mother from time to time.
……
After a period of heavy rain, the sun began to shine every day again.
"I understand~I understand~"
The din of cicadas is endless.
The too bright sunshine seemed to have a tendency to melt even the asphalt road. Pedestrians stepped on it and felt a bit hot even through their shoes.
Xiao Xiao slightly raised the edge of his umbrella, and the scenery in front of him felt a bit like a mirage.
A layer of misty white light shrouded it, and the edges of the building were somewhat blurred and distorted.
Today is Saturday, and he was invited to have dinner at Sister Yanyan's house.
Xiao's mother specially bought a lot of things for him to take.
He suddenly remembered that the last time Sister Yan Yan came to his house, she came with a big bag and a small bag, and the same was true for him now.
After all, this is the first official home visit in many years.
……
“Coffee~”
Fei Fei lay weakly on Xiao Xiao's shoulder, feeling like air was rising from his head.
"Woo~"
Taotie also had a sluggish look on his face. He spread his limbs and tugged at Xiao Xiao's hair with his claws, which were all sweaty.
Xiao Xiao smiled helplessly, "I told you before that it was very hot outside and asked you to stay at home, but you didn't want to. Now you feel hot?"
“Coffee~”
Feifei's soft voice revealed a hint of grievance.
How did it know it was so hot outside?
It just followed Xiao Xiao out of habit.
"Woo~"
Uncle Taotie regretted it. Before, he just thought that this little monster followed him out without hesitation. If he didn't come out, it would seem that he was afraid of the heat. How could it be so useless?
Moreover, who knows if they will carry it on their backs to eat delicious food outside.
However, even with the umbrella now, Taotie felt waves of heat rushing toward him, and his breath was filled with scorching air.
Taotie opened his mouth and spit out a small cluster of flames.
"Taotie."
The momentary heat on his head made Xiao Xiao frown. If someone accidentally burned his hair or his umbrella, he would be the next headline.
"A man suddenly appeared on the road with flames bursting from his head!"
Or "A man's umbrella suddenly burst into flames on the road!"
hehe.
"Hiccup~"
Taotie burped, and a few wisps of smoke came out of his mouth.
"If you get angry again, let's forget about today's lunch. Anyway, I see you have burped."
Xiao Xiao spoke threatening words lightly.
"Ouch~" Taotie was furious, grinning to the extreme, revealing his ferocious fangs, shining with a cold light. The next second, Taotie closed his mouth sadly, and puffed out a puff of air from his nose.
Humph, it is a majestic ancient demon who doesn’t even bother to care about a small human being!
Thinking about it, I was still a little out of breath, so I opened my mouth again. Although it couldn't spit out flames, it could spit out smoke. A few wisps of green smoke came out of Taotie's mouth.
Taotie spit out green smoke several times, intending to kill a damn human being.
Xiao Xiao twitched his lips at the childish behavior of a certain glutton.
Could it be that this glutton's power has been sealed, and has its IQ also deteriorated?
However, he has always felt that Taotie should not be afraid of heat. Doesn't it spit fire from its mouth?
Or is this Taotie weird?
……
"Taotie, don't even think about having lunch while you are spitting smoke."
"Ouch~"
Taotie's voice was filled with anger, but then he felt a little gloating about his misfortune. Can't you stand it anymore? hey-hey.
Therefore, Uncle Taotie was very happy and stopped spitting smoke. After spitting for a while, he was tired.
Since this human being "surrendered" first, the Taotie Master should let him go as much as possible.
... Xiao Xiao originally didn't care about Taotie's actions that seemed like venting his anger. Anyway, he could disperse the smoke by lifting his umbrella, and most people couldn't see the smoke that Taotie exhaled.
However, this glutton is not done yet?
On such a hot day, if you add some smoke, you won't be too tired.
……
“Ding Dong~Ding Dong~”
The door opened quickly, revealing Yu Yanyan's bright smile, "Xiaoxiao, you are here."
"Well, hello, Sister Yanyan."
"Come in."
Yu Yanyan handed Xiao Xiao a pair of slippers, took the things in Xiao Xiao's hands and put them on the cabinet aside.
"Come here, why are you buying so many things?"
"Uncle Gu will be embarrassed to ask you to come here in the future."
Uncle Gu, who had met once at the Natural Water Plant, walked out with a hearty laugh.
"Hello Uncle Gu."
"Hey, good."
"What are you doing here at the gate?"
"You still won't let people in?"
Mother Yu also came out.
"Xiaoxiao?"
"Hello, aunt."
“It’s already so big in the blink of an eye.”
Mother Yu was quite emotional and took Xiao Xiao's hand and walked towards the living room.
"I was still such a young child back then."
……
Walking into the living room, Xiao Xiao unexpectedly saw a strange middle-aged woman.
Sitting on the sofa with a haggard look.
"This is my aunt." Yu Yanyan saw Xiao Xiao's confused expression and introduced her.
"Yan Yan, is this your cousin?"
"Well, aunt, this is my cousin, Xiao Xiao."
"Hello, Xiao Xiao."
The woman smiled, but there was a hint of exhaustion in her brows.
"You should follow Yan Yan and call me aunt."
"Hello, Auntie."
"Since today's guests are here, it's time for me to go."
"Why are we leaving? It's almost dinner time. Let's go after dinner." Mother Yu frowned slightly and said to the middle-aged woman.
"No, sister-in-law, I have to go back to cook." The woman refused with a smile, and the reason she gave made Yu's mother unable to keep anyone else.
"Okay."
Mother Yu sent the girl to the door.
"Don't worry too much about this. Just think about it yourself."
"Sometimes things are like this. The more you think about it, the less likely it is to come. But if you don't think about it anymore, and you calm down, maybe there will be good news."
"Didn't you all go to the hospital? There is nothing wrong with both of you. How could it be possible..."
……
Mother Yu came back after a while, looking a little sad.
"Brother and sister are gone?" Uncle Gu stood up and walked towards Yu's mother.
"Gone."
"If you don't talk to your brother, he will be under a lot of pressure. If this continues, it will be easy for him to fall over."
"Oh, I've said it several times before, but it's of no use."
"After all, seeing that I am getting older and older, my younger brother, who was not too anxious at first, has become anxious, let alone the elderly."
"My brothers and sisters are anxious themselves."
"Didn't we all see it in the hospital? There is nothing wrong with both of them."
"Yes, they have tried a lot of folk remedies, but nothing works."
