Extra seventeen
Tianshi’s daily routine of raising a baby:
"Little brother, you have been looking here for half an hour. Do you want to buy it or not?" In a dessert shop, the waiter looked helplessly at the young man in front of him.
The boy had a particularly cute baby face and looked like a young lady. Unfortunately, the clothes he wore were tattered and tattered, as if he had picked them up in a garbage dump, which greatly reduced his appearance.
This young man entered the store half an hour ago. There were many customers at that time. The waiter saw him choosing products. She was busy serving other customers and did not pay attention to him for a moment.
Then I found that the boy had been looking at the store and didn't say what he wanted to buy. The waiter took the time to ask several times, and the response he got was "I'll take a look again."
Because of his face, the waiter had nothing to say, but his weird movements had attracted the attention of new customers entering the store. If this continued, the business in the store might be affected, so the waiter had to take some measures.
The waiter thought she spoke tactfully and in a gentle tone, but as soon as she finished speaking, the boy in front of her suddenly jumped up: "I'm not a little brother, I'm already a father!"
Then, he told her the year and month of her birth, including the hour of birth, and finally concluded: "You are twenty-one years old this year, and I am older than you."
Zuo Xingping was so angry that he actually thought he was a minor.
The waiter was dumbfounded. She didn’t know how he knew her birth year, and she was surprised that he was actually a father. When she realized what she was doing, she saw the young man. Oh no, the young man said, “I don’t have much money. Is there any cake under five pieces?”
waiter:"… "
Faced with such a look, the waiter couldn't refuse. However, there were no cakes under five pieces in the store, so she had no choice but to shake her head.
Disappointment flashed clearly on Zuo Xingping's face, and the waiter couldn't help but said, "How do you know when I was born?"
"Forget it." Zuo Xingping replied, looking at the cake reluctantly, thinking of the few dollars in his pocket, he had no choice but to turn around and leave.
He actually earned fifty yuan, but what he received was a fake fifty yuan. Unfortunately, he had no ability to detect money. He was packing a lunch box in a restaurant just now, and when he gave him the money, he realized that his money was a fake.
I didn't have enough money left to buy food. I passed by a cake shop and wanted to buy some cakes for my daughter to eat, otherwise my precious daughter's dinner would not be available tonight.
He can be hungry, but his daughter cannot.
When it was his turn to raise little Jiang Mian, even though he had no money, Zuo Xingping tried his best to give Jiang Mian the best and never left her hungry.
waiter:"… "
Blind.
Seeing that the young man was about to leave, with her head hanging down, the waiter looked a little uncomfortable, so she subconsciously said, "Wait a minute."
"We don't have cakes under five pieces in our store, but there are some that were not sold out yesterday, but they are not as fresh as today, and the quality is absolutely fine. Do you want them?"
As she said that, she took out a bag from behind the counter, which contained three beautiful small cakes: "Take it."
Zuo Xingping's eyes lit up and he immediately asked for money. The waiter refused: "No, these can't be sold. It would be a waste to throw them away."
If you don't give money... Zuo Xingping was a little embarrassed, thought about it, and took it out of his pocket for a long time.
The waiter thought he was looking for change, and was about to speak when she saw the young man take out a flat piece of yellow paper, fold it into a triangle several times, and hand it to her: "I can't ask for your cake for free. This is for you, whatever you want." use."
Then he left with the bag.
The waiter looked down at the triangle in his hand and was speechless for a moment. He didn't realize that the young man was actually a magician.
Just as he was about to throw the talisman aside, he suddenly paused. The young man calculated his date of birth.
After thinking about it, the waiter put the charm back into his pocket. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, it didn't take up much space anyway, so just leave it there.
*
A very ordinary community. There is a piece of soft sand at the entrance of the community. Several children are playing on the sand. The average age is four or five years old. Among them, there was a little girl, the youngest among them, about three years old.
Big moist eyes that seemed to be able to talk, eyelashes that were so long and curly that they could be used as fans, skin like snow... Compared with these children, she looked like Snow White in the fairy tale.
Although children do not yet have the ability to distinguish between beauty and ugliness, they still have the most basic ability to judge. Everyone likes to play with this little girl.
In particular, another reason why they gathered around the little girl was because she was telling them the story of Nezha causing trouble in the sea.
The children listened with great interest. A little boy suddenly interrupted her and said in an adoring tone: "Sister Mianmian, how do you know so much? You are so amazing."
Xiao Jiang Mian patted the sand in his hands and said with pride: "It's not me who is great, it's my father who is great. My father told me everything."
The children said "Wow", and the topic suddenly shifted from Nezha Naohai to Xuan's parents:
“My mother told me about the elephant crossing the river.”
"Do you know about kitten fishing? My dad told me about it."
"I've known it for a long time. My grandma also told me."
"And crows drink water."
"None of these are as powerful as Nezha."
Xiao Jiang Mian looked at them arguing with a smile, and finally said: "Don't argue, I will tell other stories, do you want to listen?"
The children all looked at her: "Yes."
Xiao Jiang Mian tilted his head: "Then I will tell you the story of the Great Sage San fighting the Bone Demon. You will definitely like it."
"This is what my father told me."
Child: "Your dad is so amazing and knows so much."
Xiao Jiang Mian nodded: "Yes, my dad is super awesome."
At this time, a little girl about five years old ran up. She had been watching for a long time. These brothers usually liked to play with her, but after little Jiang Mian appeared, they stopped playing with her.
The little girl was unhappy, very, very, very unhappy. She put her hands on her waist and said loudly: "You are lying! Your father is not great at all. He is poor and can only pick up rags."
"Don't be deceived by her." The little girl said to the other children, "She and her father live under our building. Their house is rented. My mother said that her father is a pauper and can't even pay the rent. He’s still crazy, and his face is in vain.”
"You're talking nonsense." Xiao Jiang Mian was sitting on the small pile of sand, but now he stood up, "You are not allowed to say that about my father, I will be angry."
She is only three years old and is already small. The little girl is a head taller than her and quite stocky, making little Jiang Mian even smaller compared to her.
The other children looked at her and then at the little girl, with expressions of confusion and confusion.
The little girl was very happy that the other children did not help Jiang Mian. She snorted: "I'm not talking nonsense. Your father is a pauper and can't afford to support you."
"Last time your father sneaked up to our door, maybe he wanted to steal our things."
"He is a thief, and you are the thief's daughter."
The little girl became happier as she talked. The child didn't have any sense of right and wrong and just said he was happy.
"I'm really angry!" Xiao Jiang Mian stretched out his hand and pushed the little girl hard. The latter didn't take precautions and was pushed to the ground, crying loudly.
"Even if my father has no money, he is not as uneducated as you." Xiao Jiang Mian puffed his red eyes, "I hate you."
The little girl cried louder and louder, and adults from afar heard the news and came over.
"Mom, she hit me." The little girl pointed a finger at Jiang Mian, crying with tears streaming down her face.
The girl's mother comforted her a few times, hugged the girl, and angrily asked, "Why did you hit her?"
"I didn't hit her, I just pushed her. Pushing and hitting are different." Xiao Jiang Mian's logic was very clear, "And she first called my father a thief, so I got angry and pushed her."
"Is this also the reason why you pushed her?" The girl's mother was very angry, "Where is your father!"
Xiao Jiang Mian pursed her lips and stopped talking.
She was taking a nap, and when she woke up, her father was not at home. She was used to this situation, knowing that her father was out making money, so she stayed at home obediently.
Then I calculated the time and went out to pick up my father at the gate. I met the children playing on the sand and played with them by the way.
Seeing that Xiao Jiang Mian didn't speak and her daughter was crying hard, the girl's mother reached out to grab Xiao Jiang Mian angrily.
"What are you doing!" The voice behind her made the girl's mother tremble. When she looked back, she saw an angry face.
Zuo Xingping happily carried the cake home, preparing to give his baby daughter a surprise. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the door, he saw his baby girl surrounded by people, and a woman reached out to hit her.
He knew this woman from the house upstairs. She often danced disco on the floor in the middle of the night, waking up his precious daughter. He was so angry that he ran to her door to try to do something.
Finally held back.
As a member of the Xuan Sect, you are not allowed to use Xuan magic on ordinary people, otherwise it goes against the laws of heaven.
"Dad." Little Jiang Mian ran towards Zuo Xingping, who hugged her distressedly. Little Jiang Mian buried her head in his neck and sniffed, trying not to cry.
Zuo Xingping's baby face sank: "Mianmian, tell dad how she bullied you."
Xiao Jiang Mian said dullly: "Luo Xiaoxiao said that dad was a thief. I was so angry that I pushed her. I'm sorry dad, I shouldn't have pushed her."
She actually knew that she was wrong to push people away, but she felt that she had done nothing wrong, not to mention that her father had taught her not to lose even if she loses, and she should not be timid even when facing an enemy that is much stronger than herself.
"Mianmian is not wrong, it's them who are wrong." Zuo Xingping said to the girl's mother, "Huh, this time we are even, if you bully my daughter again next time, don't blame me for being unreasonable."
How could a girl's mother just give up and say, "Leave without apologizing, as a father like you? With your temper, I might create some trouble in the future..." followed by a series of unpleasant words.
When Zuo Xingping heard this, his lungs almost exploded with anger, but he was not good at quarreling with others: "Your daughter will be a disaster in the future, a big disaster."
"Dad, let's go home." Xiao Jiang Mian whispered in his father's ear, "She is so fierce, we won't argue with her."
So Zuo Xingping glared at the girl's mother fiercely and carried little Jiang Mian back home.
The rented house is on the first floor. Only when it is Zuo Xingping's turn to raise little Jiang Mian, he will work hard to save money to rent a house. He will also try his best to rent a house with complete appliances and a better environment.
When the father and daughter returned home, Zuo Xingping took out the cake as if it was a treasure: "Dangdangdang, Mianmian, look, what dad brought you."
"Wow." Xiao Jiang Mian jumped up in admiration, "What a beautiful cake, it smells so good."
But she quickly hesitated: "Dad, this must cost a lot of money."
Zuo Xingping said hey: "No money, just a gift."
Xiao Jiang Mian was stunned, never expecting that such a good thing would happen to his father.
"Mianmian, you eat first. Dad will go downstairs." Zuo Xingping cut a piece of cake and gave it to little Jiang Mian on a plate, then went to get a shovel and a bottle.
"Dad, what are you going to do?" motioning his father to bend down, Xiao Jiang Mian fed Zuo Xingping a bite of cake, and the latter raised his eyes in satisfaction.
Zuo Xingping didn't hide it from her: "I'll go downstairs and dig up some earthworms and put them upstairs to scare them."
You can't use mystical skills, you can't attack from the front, but you can do some small tricks secretly.
Dare to bully his precious daughters and scare them with earthworms - this is the best way Zuo Xingping can come up with.
"I want to go too!" Jiang Mian raised her little hand, "Dad, I'll give you a break."
Zuo Xingping hesitated, fearing that his precious daughter would be afraid of earthworms, and he couldn't bear to refuse his precious daughter. He finally agreed, thinking that if Mianmian was afraid, he would take her back immediately.
So the father and daughter quickly went downstairs and dug in the flower garden when no one was around. The soil in the flowerbed is fertile, and earthworms can be found with a little digging.
"Mianmian, are you afraid?"
Little Jiang Mian looked at the fat earthworms curiously and shook his head: "Dad, they are so cute."
Zuo Xingping: "..."
He glanced down to make sure his daughter wasn't afraid, then he started digging, and after a while he dug out a bottle.
"Dad, how do you put it up?" Xiao Jiang Mian asked, "The door is closed."
"Dad has his own way." Zuo Xingping smiled mysteriously.
Before the mother and daughter returned home, Zuo Xingping found a piece of wire. Since he was called a thief, he would be a "thief".
He was a good hand at picking locks. He gently pushed the wire into the keyhole, and with a click, the door opened.
Jiang Mian clapped his hands: "Dad is so awesome."
Then he remembered that he was a lookout and quickly covered his mouth.
Zuo Xingping did not enter the house. He was principled. He drew a circle at the door with his finger, and then poured a bottle of earthworms into the circle. The earthworms could only move within the circle.
After doing all this, he looked at it with satisfaction and quickly carried his baby daughter downstairs.
After returning home, little Jiang Mian said with admiration: "Dad, please teach me how to open the door with a thin object."
"..." Zuo Xingping kissed her, "Mianmian, be good, you can't learn this."
If the other three knew that he was teaching his precious daughter how to open a lock, they would definitely explode. He couldn't defeat three of them by himself.
Little Jiang Mian looked at him with big cute eyes. Zuo Xingping said, "Then what dad taught you, you can't tell the other three dads?"
"Yeah, yeah." Xiao Jiang Mian happily hugged Zuo Xingping and kissed her wildly, "Mianmian promises not to tell."
Zuo Xingping said happily: "Eat first, and then daddy will teach you after you finish."
After washing their hands, the father and daughter nestled together to eat cake. Xiao Jiang Mian asked: "Dad, will they be scared?"
Zuo Xingping was a little unsure: "Maybe."
"If you're not afraid, I'll look for other things next time." Anyway, there are more than just earthworms in the soil, so he might look for caterpillars next time.
Little Jiang Mian ate a mouth full of butter and began to reflect: "Dad, isn't it a good idea for us to do this?"
"No, this is our normal counterattack." Zuo Xingping wiped her mouth and hands with a tissue, and used Zuo's education to brainwash his precious daughter.
The father and daughter were eating and waiting, and finally heard a sound coming from the corridor. Looking through the peephole, they saw that it was the mother and daughter who passed by the door of his house. They deliberately said loudly: "Xiaoxiao, don't play with that Jiang Mian in the future." , so as not to be led astray.”
Jiang Mian puffed his mouth.
Not long after, a crashing scream came from upstairs: "Where did the earthworms come from!!!"
The father and daughter looked at each other and chuckled.
