Taotie took the spoon angrily and scooped a big spoonful into the bucket.
It grinned and stuffed the entire spoon into its mouth under its arm.
There was a bit of provocation in the eyes that looked at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao laughed a little.
Childish guy.
...
In the evening, Grandpa Mu and Grandma Tan knocked on the door of Xiao Xiao's yard. Behind them was Mu Tansong carrying large and small bags.
The Xiao family members who were enjoying the cool weather in the yard looked surprised and surprised.
Except Xiao Xiao.
...
After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, the Xiao family all looked at Xiao Xiao with identical expressions of surprise.
...
"Xiaoxiao, thank you so much."
"Thank you so much."
Mr. Mu and Mrs. Tan bent down towards Xiao Xiao, their tone was deep, with some barely detectable choking.
Seeing this, Mu Tansong behind them also hurriedly bent down.
...
"Grandpa Mu, Grandma Tan, you are too polite."
Xiao Xiao smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand to hold the two elders' arms, and wanted the two elders to straighten up.
However, the two old men were very stubborn.
He just refused to get up.
Xiao Xiao didn't want to be forceful, for fear of hurting the two elderly people.
The smile at the corner of his mouth became more helpless.
...
"Okay, Lao Mumu, Aying, get up."
"You're already quite old, so I'm not afraid of breaking my waist even if I'm bent like this."
Grandpa Xiao spoke, "How many years have we been neighbors? You have all watched Xiaoxiao grow up."
"It's right for him to do something for you."
"You can just say thank you. Why are you so polite?"
...
"Yeah, get up, get up."
Grandma Xiao grabbed Mrs. Tan's arm and pulled her up, "That kid Xiaoxiao can't bear such a big gift from you."
…
"What can't you afford?"
Grandpa Li was dissatisfied with these words, "This kid Xiaoxiao is a great benefactor to our family."
"If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be able to be your neighbors anymore."
"My Gumuxuan can't be saved either."
Having said this, Grandpa Mu was really grateful to Xiao Xiao.
His lifelong dreams and pursuits are in this ancient wooden mansion.
If he loses it when he reaches old age, he is not sure whether he still has the time and energy to have a Gumuxuan again?
…
"Yes, of course my grandson is amazing."
Grandma Xiao's eyes narrowed with a smile, and this time she accepted other people's compliments for her grandson without any humility.
A look of pride on his face.
Grandpa Xiao couldn't help but glance at her, "Look how proud you are."
"That's it, what's wrong with my grandson?"
Grandma Xiao was very confident, "Aren't you proud?"
The implication is quite a bit like "Are you still my grandfather?"
Grandpa Xiao:......
Of course he was also proud of it.
My grandson helped his neighbor and friend for many years and gave him more face.
However, if you are proud of yourself, it would not be good to show it so openly.
Huh, women's houses just don't care about the city.
Mr. Xiao complained about his wife in his heart.
…
"Haha, yes, that child Xiaoxiao has been different from other children since he was a child."
Mr. Mu laughed loudly, "Exceptionally smart."
…
"You can praise him now."
Grandpa Xiao was secretly happy, but there was a bit of disgust on his face, "I've never seen you praise him so much before."
"Who said before that this child is too quiet? Not lively enough, and doesn't have the naughty nature of a boy?"
…
"Hey, why do you still remember things so clearly after so long?"
Mr. Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Besides, is there any relationship between the two?"
Noticing Grandpa Xiao's slanted gaze, Mr. Mu waved his hand, "Okay, I was wrong."
"I was wrong."
"Is this okay?"
…
After chatting like this for a while, Grandpa Mu and his family said goodbye.
Now is not the time for them to relax completely.
Although two hundred thousand is not much, it is still a lot for their family.
Moreover, it was rare that the son was willing to calm down and learn something from the old man, and they also wanted to strike while the iron was hot.
Lest this kid get over the mood and return to his original state.
…
Until now, they still don't believe that their son will really change his appearance.
The previous words were very touching and they were very moved.
However, they also knew that it was under certain conditions that their son said that.
They believed their son's sincerity at that time.
As for how long this sincerity can last, they will wait and see.
…
After the door of the courtyard was closed, the quiet fragrance of plum blossoms drifted into the nostrils of everyone present again.
It makes people both intoxicated and in a trance.
After a while, Father Xiao took the lead to break the silence in the yard, "Xiaoxiao, this Baimei-"
"Just now, when Uncle Mu and the others came, were there no flowers?"
…
"I saw."
Without waiting for Xiao Xiao's reply, Xiao's mother spoke, "Just before Uncle Mu and the others entered the yard, all the white plum blossoms disappeared."
The previous scene couldn't help but reappear in her mind again.
The flowers on the tree suddenly closed their petals, not abruptly, but rather slowly, but in just a blink of an eye, they were already covered with green leaves.
"Then leaves grew out."
Xiao's mother looked at the white plum in a daze, "Now it's blooming again."
…
Even though they had already made some assumptions in their minds before, the shock in the Xiao family's hearts did not diminish at all after seeing this with their own eyes.
After all, it's really amazing.
Everyone looked at Xiao Xiao with more surprise than before, even a little weird when they learned that Xiao Xiao had helped Mr. Mu and his family.
…
Xiao Xiao let the Xiao family glance up and down like they were looking at rare animals.
His face was pale and his mouth was slightly smiling.
…
"Xiaoxiao, you kid is getting more and more mysterious."
Mother Xiao sighed and smiled.
"It's getting more and more confusing."
Father Xiao answered, frowning slightly.
…
"What's wrong with the kid having a secret?"
Grandma Xiao was a little unhappy with Father Xiao. Mother Xiao said of her grandson, "He is no longer a three-year-old child. He tells his parents everything."
"When children grow up, they naturally have their own secrets."
…
"This is an opportunity for children."
Grandpa Xiao said eloquently, "It is also a blessing to our Xiao family."
…
"Yes Yes."
Mother Xiao laughed, then looked serious, "My father and I just didn't react."
"Of course we know this is a good thing."
The magic of Baimei is there, they almost regard Baimei as a sacred tree.
Now that they know that Bai Mei's magic is because of Xiaoxiao, they are about to regard Xiaoxiao as a god.
However, my son has become too powerful all of a sudden, so we have to give them some time to accept the change.
…
The next day, an old man who had a good relationship with Lao Mu went to Gumuxuan and met the young man sitting next to him. He couldn't help but joked: "Lao Mu, it's rare that you have figured it out."
