Chapter 87 87 "Brother, are you saved?"
Berry played with the baby killer whale all the way, and only when they were close to the shore did she reluctantly dive into the water and leave.
Lestat couldn't go to the beach because the rough sand and shells would hurt his skin.
Just when the sun was setting and the light was not bright enough, Berry used magic to make an air cover for Lestat and transported the invisible Lestat back home as a guest.
This was a very energy-consuming magic, and soon the child's forehead was covered in sweat.
Feng Ci pulled out two tissues and dabbed them at Meiguo's face, muttering unhappily, "I told you I'd go down and carry him back up, but you refused. Look how hot you are, sweating all over."
Meiguo touched her forehead, raised a finger and shook it: "I'm not sweating profusely, I'm just sweating a little bit."
Guests are welcome, so they must be treated well. Lestat was a little shy in front of the Feng family. Only Meiguo could see him.
Lestat was too young to develop human legs, so after getting ashore, his way of moving forward was very simple and crude, that is, crawling forward. As he moved, a long trail of water was left on the living room floor, accompanied by a clicking sound.
This was the first time Qiao Tong was entertaining such a special little guest. She thought for a moment, filled the bathtub with water, and said to Meiguo:
"Baby, your friend must be tired from lying on the floor talking to you. Why don't you ask him to sit in the bathtub for a while?"
There is no portable swimming pool at home, otherwise there would be no need to go through all this trouble.
Lestat was a little mermaid who had rarely been ashore. When he looked at such an exquisite bathtub, he was reminded of the scallop he used to sleep in. It was narrow and small, and full of security.
Plop.
The whole family heard a very light sound of someone entering the water.
The family, who have always been well-mannered and particular about hospitality, squeezed into the bathroom and showed their hospitality to the empty air.
Qiao Tong brought a plate of candies and various snacks that children loved to eat, and said in a gentle voice:
"Hello, little Lestat. I'm glad you're here. I hope you have a great time."
Berry, holding a lollipop in her mouth, said simultaneously, "Mom, Lestat says thank you."
Feng Ci pinched the child's chubby cheeks and said, "The guests haven't eaten yet, you should be more aware of it."
Meiguo tightly protected the lollipop in her mouth, as if she was afraid that Feng Ci would snatch it away, and responded confidently:
"I'm teaching Brother Lestat how to eat, not because I want to eat it."
"Did he learn it?"
Meiguo, with her belly sticking out, made a "yeah" gesture to Feng Ci: "It will be soon. I'll eat two more and he'll get it."
The little witch’s candy trick plus one.
Feng Ci: "Then there's no need to trouble you."
He picked up a lollipop from the plate and quickly peeled it open. He said to the air, "Kid, you're not picky about food, are you? Here, a grape-flavored lollipop."
Berry: "Brother, you lift it too high."
Feng Ci lowered his hand a little, and soon he felt something wet on his hand, and only an orange stick of the lollipop remained in the air.
“…”
To be honest, if he hadn't been to the magical world and seen Lestat with his own eyes, he would have thought he was crazy.
Feng Ci glanced sideways at his parents, thought for a moment, and scratched his hair: "Little ghost, we have all met, just show yourself."
"An ugly daughter-in-law must always meet her parents-in-law. There is no need to be shy."
It would have been fine if the second half of the sentence hadn't been said, but once it was said, the originally shy little mermaid's eyes widened immediately.
He? Ugly?
! !
No fish has ever said he is ugly QAQ
Before the berries could translate, the three Muggle people were caught off guard and met a pair of beautiful eyes that were about to cry.
In the white and smooth bathtub, curled up is a little mermaid that only appears in fairy tales.
Lestat's wet golden hair spread on the water, as soft and flowing as seaweed. He had an androgynous, delicate face, and his tearful look was particularly adorable.
O﹏O
"I'm not ugly, I'm not a clownfish, I'm a mermaid."
Tears as big as beans dripped down Lestat's face, and then turned into glowing pearls under the eyelids of Qiao Tong and Feng Chen.
The couple whose materialistic worldview was shattered into pieces: ...
While the three of them were stunned, the hardworking little witch had already become rich.
Meiguo half-stuck herself in the bathtub, reaching her little hands into the water and feeling around: "Wow, so many pearls! That's enough! If there were more, I wouldn't be able to pick them all up."
Qiao Tong quickly picked up the child.
Feng Chen glared at Feng Ci, "You little bastard, look at the trouble you've caused with your broken mouth. Hurry up and apologize to the little guest."
Feng Ci realized that he had said the wrong thing without Feng Chen urging him. After this little episode, the family of four officially met the children from the magical world.
Today's whale riding performance scared Qiao Tong and Feng Chen quite a bit.
At first, the couple played a game between human cubs on a whim, but after chatting with Lestat, the couple was left with only touching feelings.
Berry, who lives in the magical world, has never seen the sea, but her friend Lestat, who comes from the sea, once promised to take her to see the sea and ride a whale.
Berry has never left the town of Nange since he was born, and the nearest sea to Nange is thousands of miles away.
In fact, Lestat had wanted to invite Berry to ride on a killer whale last time, but the sea was too dark and Berry never came out, so he couldn't find a suitable opportunity to meet her.
So this time he chose to appear during the day to fulfill his previous promise to Berry.
After asking Lestat about his taste, Qiao Tong took Feng Chen downstairs to prepare dinner, and treated the little guest with 120% care.
Feeling bored in the bathroom, Feng Ci brought his tablet and computer over.
Berry enthusiastically shared the durian with Lestat.
The piece of durian hadn't even reached his hands when the wind carrying the fragrance of durian blew onto Lestat's face.
The little mermaid frowned and racked her brains to form a sentence: "Thank you, berry, but I am not very fond of this taste."
Berry: "Ah, don't you like sweet fruits?"
Although, this fruit that tastes like a stinky starfish doesn't smell sweet at all.
Resta awkwardly retracted her head into the water, revealing only a pair of round green eyes. "I'm not hungry."
Well, the little witch could only accept it with a smile. Berry held the durian and ate it happily.
For dinner, Qiao Tong prepared a plate of sashimi and some refreshing and nutritious vegetables for Lestat. After the meal, Meiguo sent Lestat back.
After returning home, Meiguo sat down next to Feng Ci, grabbed a handful of potato chips, tilted her head and asked, "Brother, why do you call Brother Lestat an ugly daughter-in-law? What is a daughter-in-law?"
Feng Ci glared at her: "You heard wrong."
Feng Ci promptly blocked the child's possible follow-up questions, disrupting Meiguo's thoughts: "By the way, he's been out playing for so long, doesn't the mermaid mother care?"
When he was Lestat's age, he had to report to his family before going out and never ate at friends' houses.
Berry was stunned for a moment, then said sternly, "The mermaid mother doesn't care. It's the mermaid father's responsibility to teach the child."
"And who is the mermaid mother?"
"Auntie Meera is busy maintaining peace in the ocean. She is very busy."
Hey, it turns out that in the mermaid race, men are responsible for home affairs and women are responsible for outside affairs.
Crunch, crunch, the child's mouth was filled with potato chips.
Feng Ci poured a glass of water for Meiguo, put away the potato chips, took out two triangular rice balls, and handed one to Meiguo.
Feng Ci: "How many brothers and sisters does Lestat have?"
"Five."
"so much??"
This is an over-birth.
Berry: "Not many. Brother Lestat told me that each mermaid can give birth to at least ten babies, but the mermaid king's husband is in poor health, so he only gave birth to five babies."
"Husband of the Mermaid King?" Feng Ci looked peculiar. "Actually, it's better to have fewer children. After all, the Mermaid Queen has to maintain peace in the oceans. Running around with a big belly and all sorts of things to do is too much of a burden."
Meiguo glanced at him, then sat up straight and said, "Brother, Aunt Meira doesn't give birth to babies. It's her husband who gives birth to babies."
"Brother Lestat and Sister Colleen were both born to the Mermaid King."
"What the hell?" Feng Ci felt like something was wrong with his ears and stuttered, "Is the mermaid king's husband a man?"
Berry nodded rapidly, "Yes, he's the father of Colleen and Lestat."
Feng Ci choked violently, and the food in his mouth got stuck in his throat and he couldn't swallow it.
Feng Ci beat his chest frantically.
Meiguo stood up and said, "Brother, is there a traffic jam in your mouth caused by rice?"
The child raised his little palm and slapped his brother.
Feng Ci stretched his neck and swallowed the food hard, taking deep breaths.
"Brother, are you saved?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Oh, our teacher said we can't gossip while eating. Stop gossiping with me."
Feng Ci hesitated to speak. He was feeling anxious and was silent for a long time before mumbling:
"Then we'll talk after we finish eating."
He is so curious.
Influenced by traditional film and television works, he always thought that mermaid society was the same as human society. Who would have thought that mermaids, who are closely related to humans, are actually a completely matriarchal society.
I'm writing a novel here. If it gets out, I'm afraid the entire scientific community will go crazy.
Feng Ci caught Meiguo and asked him all kinds of questions. Meiguo was at a loss as to what to do since his brother was too lively.
Berry, increasingly annoyed, counterattacked, "Brother, why is the sea water salty?"
"Who's pouring salt into the sea?"
"Why are we all three-year-olds, but the killer whale baby is so big, while I am so small?"
Feng Ci took a breath: "My phone is ringing, wait a minute."
*
Before the Chinese New Year, Qiao Tong needed to go on one last business trip. She never hid her business trips from Meiguo, and this time was no exception.
This business trip was only for three days, and Meiguo also wanted to go, but Qiao Tong was reluctant to let her travel, so he never agreed.
On the morning of the business trip, the sleepy child got up unexpectedly early and was waiting in the living room wearing a one-piece dinosaur costume. When he saw Qiao Tong who was ready to go, he immediately pounced on him.
"Mom, are you going out?"
"Yeah, baby."
Meiguo turned around and took out the shoes that Qiao Tong often wore when going out. She looked at her obediently and said, "Mom, these are my shoes for going out. Let me help you put them on."
Qiao Tong was touched: "Baby, let mommy put it on yourself, don't make yourself so tired."
"It's not hard to put shoes on mom." The honest little fat boy squatted in front of Qiao Tong and argued, grinning foolishly, "Meiguo likes mom, loves mom."
"Thank you, baby. Mommy loves you too." Qiao Tong touched her daughter's soft little face, feeling mixed emotions.
"Mom, did you bring me shoes?" Meiguo helped Qiao Tong put on her shoes and asked with concern like an adult who was worried about her child going out.
"I brought it."
"Mom, if you get scared when you go out alone, just call me and I'll come and save you."
The child grabbed the hem of his clothes and looked at Qiao Tong eagerly. His round eyes seemed to be able to speak. Qiao Tong struggled with his conscience for two seconds and was defeated.
"Guoguo, go pack your luggage and go with mom."
Berry jumped up.
The chubby boy happily ran into the kitchen, pulled out a small light yellow suitcase, and walked out holding Qiao Tong's hand: "Mom, let's go."
Qiao Tong was dumbfounded: "You——"
"Mom, my baby's going out shoes and my baby's coming back shoes are both in there, hehe."
Qiao Tong smiled helplessly and dotingly, but she had no idea what to do with her precious daughter who was always trying new things.
As soon as the mother and daughter left, Feng Chen's life suddenly became empty. Feng Ci went home to live on weekends, and the son he used to like became unpleasant to him in every way.
"Feng Ci, you're wearing this in January?"
"I finally have a day off, can't you move a little more? Put down your phone and go for a morning run with me!"
"Failure!"
"Stop lying in bed playing with your phone and clean your room."
"You are so lazy, which girl will dare to want you in the future!"
Message:...
He shouldn't have come back at this time. After two days of living in dire straits, Feng Ci thought to himself, it's really scary for a middle-aged man in menopause to be without his wife and daughter by his side!
Feng Ci counted the days and endured for three days, and the two pillars of support came back.
"Is it fun to go on a business trip with Mom?"
"It's fun." Meiguo happily showed Feng Ci the New Year's uniforms in her closet, "These are the new clothes my mother bought for me."
Meiguo, dressed like a little Fuwa, walked up to Feng Chen, excitedly pulled his sleeve, raised her head and said crisply:
"Dad, you don't have to go to work anymore. I found a way to make money."
Qiao Tong and Feng Chen both pricked up their ears.
Feng Ci lazily crossed his long legs and tilted his head leisurely.
Feng Chen looked at his daughter with a smile: "Do you want daddy to pick up paper shells with you?"
"No, picking up cardboard is too hard."
Meiguo puffed out her chest, expecting to be praised, and told him everything: "Dad, tomorrow you can go out with a bowl and sit on the roadside, and someone will give you money."
Feng Chen: ...
Qiao Tong burst out laughing.
The place where Qiao Tong took Meiguo on a business trip was a remote small city. The city appearance there was not strictly enforced, and from time to time one could see healthy people sitting under the overpass begging for food.
The little fat boy saw a business opportunity and couldn't wait to help his old father make a lot of money.
This touching filial piety made Feng Chen laugh and cry.
"My dear, begging is not allowed in City A. Dad can't do this job."
"Why?"
Feng Ci: "Because abusing the elderly is against the law."
