Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 14
Su Miaomiao expressed admiration, “Taoist Master, you are really amazing, you understand everything.”
Xie Jingyuan handed her the book “One Hundred Thousand Whys”.
Su Miaomiao shook her head, “I don’t know that many words.”
When Xie Jingyuan was concentrating on studying, she was always playing.
“Anyway, you don’t have to worry about the plane.”
“Well, I believe in you.”
“…When you arrive at your grandmother’s house, don’t bully the children nearby.”
“Don’t worry, I never bully people unless they provoke me first.”
The more Su Miaomiao said so, the more worried Xie Jingyuan became, but it was a pity that he could not go with her.
The day before New Year’s Eve, the three members of the Su family set off.
After getting off the plane, Su Mingan first called Grandma Su to report that he was safe.
Su Miaomiao listened obediently, and when the call ended, she raised her head and said, “Dad, I want to talk to my brother.”
Su Mingan doted on his daughter, and didn’t care about paying a little more for long-distance calls. He dialled Grandma Tao’s number, so they simply said a few words, and the phone was given to the child.
Su Miaomiao deliberately walked a few steps away, held the phone and said quietly, “Master, my plane landed!”
When Xie Jingyuan heard a trace of excitement, he just hummed.
Su Miaomiao began to complain, “Flying is not fun at all. I can only stay in a chair and can’t move around. There are windows on the plane, but no one can open them. I couldn’t feel the clouds outside.”
Xie Jingyuan didn’t know what to say.
Suddenly there was the sound of a child crying from the master bedroom.
Su Miaomiao: “Uncle Xie and Auntie Qiao are there?”
Xie Jingyuan: “Well, they came to celebrate the New Year, and will leave on the second day.”
Su Miaomiao listened to the crying and hummed, “They are so noisy.”
Xie Jingyuan didn’t care much. He knew that normal human babies liked to cry, so it was not unbearable for him.
“Just listen to your parents obediently over there…”
Su Miaomiao pressed the red hang up button, interrupting Xie Jingyuan’s nagging.
Xie Jingyuan: …
That cat was unruly, and she was still obedient in front of him, but became more courageous when she was far away.
On the third day of the first lunar month, the three members of the Su family came back from Jiang City, and took a taxi to the community at four o’clock in the afternoon.
Xie Jingyuan had just finished washing his face, when he heard Grandma Tao talking to Su Mingan outside, he wiped his hands and came out. Sure enough, he saw Su Mingan and Tang Shiwei standing outside. Su Mingan was holding the sleeping Su Miaomiao in his arms. The weather was extremely cold, and she was tightly wrapped. From his angle, he could only see the messy hair on top of her head.
“Come for dinner later. It’s almost dark, don’t start cooking.”
“Thank you, then we will not be polite to you.”
“Give Miaomiao to me, let her sleep here. Anyway, she’ll come over when she wakes up. You two go to unpack your things first.”
“Alright.”
Grandma Tao took Su Miaomiao, waved to Su Mingan and his wife, turned and entered the house.
After the door closed, she turned her head to see her grandson, smiled and said, “Miaomiao is back, she is with us again.”
Xie Jingyuan looked indifferent.
With the departure of Xie Rong and Qiao Lili, the master bedroom became Xie Jingyuan’s room again. Grandma Tao carried Su Miaomiao over, took off her heavy coat, and directly put Su Miaomiao into Xie Jingyuan’s bed.
“I hope she doesn’t catch a cold after tossing along the way.”
Looking at Su Miaomiao’s flushed face, Grandma Tao was a little worried.
Xie Jingyuan didn’t think so, he and Su Miaomiao were both cultivators. Even if the thin spiritual energy present could only help them improve their physique, it was more than enough to resist some common minor diseases.
After covering Su Miaomiao with a quilt, Grandma Tao and Aunt Song went to prepare dinner together.
Xie Jingyuan stood by the bed and looked at Su Miaomiao’s face. She seemed a little fatter after not seeing her for just a few days.
When the smell of cooking came from the kitchen, Su Miaomiao, who had been sleeping since the plane, sniffed and finally woke up.
The adults were all in the living room, she sat up rubbing her eyes, and saw Xie Jingyuan sitting beside the bed meditating.
He turned his back to the door, and if anyone came, he could end his meditation right away.
In his previous life, Xie Jingyuan also had a majestic face when he meditated, but that little Xie Jingyuan in front of her only made people feel that he was serious.
However, when Xie Jingyuan opened his eyes, Su Miaomiao didn’t dare to have any more teasing thoughts.
“Master, why am I at your house?” Su Miaomiao looked around and asked suspiciously.
Xie Jingyuan just said, “It’s time to eat, go wash your face.”
It was cold, and Su Miaomiao, who had just woken up, was lazy and didn’t want to move. Hearing her parents talking in the living room, Su Miaomiao called out, “Mom!”
Tang Shiwei came over soon, put a coat on her daughter, and carried her to wash her face.
Xie Jingyuan stood at the door of the bathroom, looked at Su Miaomiao’s lazy but peaceful face, and walked away silently.
When Su Miaomiao arrived at the dinner table, she seemed to be a different person. Except for green vegetables, everything else she ate was delicious.
“Miaomiao, was it fun in your grandma’s house?” Grandma Tao asked with a smile.
Su Miaomiao nodded, “It was fun, we went on a big boat, and grandpa took me fishing.”
Grandma Tao: “Then did you miss me?”
Su Miaomiao blinked her eyes and said sweetly, “I did.”
Seeing Xie Jingyuan look over, Su Miaomiao cleverly added, “I missed my brother too.”
Xie Jingyuan ate with lowered eyes.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was warm. After the meal, Grandma Tao went to get the New Year gift and good luck money for Su Miaomiao.
Tang Shiwei also prepared one for Xie Jingyuan.
The two children sat together and unwrapped their gifts.
Xie Jingyuan got a set of “Story King”. He liked to read books, which was already a fact recognized by the adults.
He thanked them politely.
What Su Miaomiao received was a pearl bracelet with a little golden pig the size of a peanut hanging on it.
It was full of strings of sparkling little pearls, and Su Miaomiao let out a “wow”.
Tang Shiwei said, “Your gift is too expensive, I…”
Grandma Tao cut her words, “It’s not for you, as long as Miaomiao likes it, that’s good.”
Su Miaomiao liked it, and immediately put the pearl bracelet on her wrist. It was loose, but Grandma Tao helped her tighten it.
“Thank you grandma, I like your gift the most,” Su Miaomiao leaned into Grandma Tao’s arms and said cutely.
Grandma Tao nodded, “I also like Miaomiao’s sweet talk the most!”
There were still people setting off firecrackers at night. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Su Miaomiao and Xie Jingyuan got one year older, and they would be able to go to kindergarten in September.
