My wife is a dragon

Chapter 187 I have already identified her (4.2K)

"Squeak..."

As the tetanus iron door opened, Lucia was no longer shy and went up to greet her.

"Hello, Auntie! Happy New Year!"

The girl's smile seemed to hide all the tenderness and sweetness in the world, which melted people's hearts.

Fang Xia was still talking to Xia Yuanjun behind her. When she turned around and saw that it was Lucia who opened the door, her expression changed instantly.

"Xiao Lu, come, take it."

Without saying a word, Fang Xia touched her pocket and a thick big red envelope came out.

Lucia had never seen someone open a big one right away. The whole dragon wood was in place and looked back at Xia Li.

After all, she had received it several times, and Lucia knew that there was small money in it.

And this thickness...

It was big money!

"See what he is doing, take it."

Fang Xia knew Lucia. This little girl lacked her own opinion. Now she asked Xia Li's opinion on everything. This was not good.

Their family's consistent philosophy is independence and self-reliance. Xia Li, who grew up under this philosophy, is a very decisive and determined person.

But this kind of personality was not something that made him macho, so Fang Xia immediately stopped seeing this.

"Dad, mom."

Xia Li stood behind the door and greeted her and took out two pairs of fur slippers on the shoe rack.

Fang Xia stared at him, and there was an inexplicable warning in her eyes.

no.

Xia Li laughed bitterly.

He said nothing! Why did Ms. Fang attack him when she came up!

"Where is mine?"

After entertaining the old couple, Xia Li shyly stretched out his hand.

The rules at home are also what Fang Xia once said.

只要夏黎还没结婚成家，那他每年都有压岁钱拿，起初方霞说这句话的时候，夏黎还开玩笑说那自己一辈子不娶老婆，方霞为此还揍了他一顿。

Fang Xia took Lucia's hand and walked in sideways. Xia Yuanjun followed her and walked into the house slowly. Xia Li saw that he was carrying a lot of vegetables in his hands, so he helped to catch them.

"Here you go."

Along with the twenty kilograms of vegetables and meat products, there was also a red paper envelope.

"Thank you, Dad, Happy New Year."

Xia Li was happy to receive a big red envelope.

He rarely asked his family for money, but New Year's money is New Year's money. How can you celebrate the New Year without it? Xia Li didn't get New Year's money for three years when he traveled to another world, and he always felt that he had aged a lot.

So thin.

Thinner than the face of the evil dragon.

Xia Li rubbed the red envelope in his hand, and then looked at the thick stack in Lucia's pocket.

Pah, different treatment!

After carrying the big bag of vegetables into the kitchen, Fang Xia was wearing an apron, and Lucia beside her followed her to hang the apron around her neck, and her little hand went around to tie a perfect bow for herself.

The girl tied up her ponytail and made a neat bun at the back of her head.

It looked like she was going to have a big fight with Ms. Fang.

After all, Ms. Fang had been a housewife for so many years, and she was very good at cooking dishes from Shu Province, and all of them were to Xia Li's taste. This was a must for Lucia, who was determined to conquer Xia Li.

She had long wanted to ask the mother of the hero to teach her a few tricks.

Those videos on the Internet were a bit difficult to learn, and Xia Li, who was mediocre at this level, couldn't teach her anything, so she could only rely on the mother of the hero to break through the bottleneck.

"Do you need my help?"

Xia Li poked his head out of the kitchen door.

The housewife who was beating eggs and the girl who was picking vegetables turned back at the same time and glanced at him.

That look seemed to say, 'Go wherever it's cool'.

Xia Li left in a huff, taking the kettle to add water to Old Xia.

Old Xia was sitting there watching TV. In the past, he would have definitely been lying on the sofa watching TV, but he always felt that something had changed about this home, becoming restrained and uncomfortable.

The home was still the same home, but things and people had long since changed.

Xia Yuanjun didn't think there was anything to be sentimental about, it was just that the boy had grown up.

To use Fang Xia's words, it was about to get married and have children - although Xia Yuanjun felt that this was still a long way off.

Xia Yuanjun looked around the living room. Xia Li decorated the home with a festive atmosphere, starting with the couplets outside, the small lanterns at home, and the nut plate on the coffee table. Everything was complete and very thoughtful.

Feeling a little relieved, Xia Yuanjun's eyes came to the inconspicuous corner of the TV cabinet.

There were books piled up like a mountain over there. Judging from the words on the side of the books, they should all be related to veterinary medicine.

The last time I saw so many study materials was when Xia Li was in the third year of high school.

Xia Yuanjun thought of what Fang Xia had said to him some time ago. She said her son was taking the veterinary qualification exam, and she praised him for it, saying that her son was a man of action, and would do things as soon as he said he would, and would never procrastinate, and would definitely become a great man in the future.

"Dad, I've filled your thermos cup for you, be careful when you drink."

Xia Li brought the water over and found that Xia Yuanjun's eyes were on the pile of books.

Old Xia finally saw it.

He put it there on purpose.

Next to the TV cabinet, anyone who came to visit could see it, and it wouldn't look deliberate if it was piled in the corner.

However, these were actually prepared by Xia Li for Fang Xia.

Last time, Fang Xia was unhappy because Xia Li found a job for Lucia, and Xia Li set up this little trap to prove that he was not idle.

"You..."

Xia Yuanjun wanted to say something, maybe it was ‘your plan’, ‘you worked hard’, ‘You really want to be a veterinarian? ’These all the words were interrupted.

The old man is not good at saying that kind of stingy things.

In their family, Fang Xia is usually in charge of talking, Xia Yuanjun is in charge of nodding, and the couple is the same person.

In the words of Xia Li's childhood composition, this is an "unspeakable old father."

But in today's words, he is not only not good at speaking, but also an old and arrogant person in Xia Li.

Xia Li peeled an orange, broke half of it for Xia Yuanjun, and ate his other half.

The father and son couldn't talk at all. Xia Yuanjun was awkwardly eating oranges. After a while, he summed up thousands of words into one sentence.

"Is living expenses enough?"

"Enough enough."

Xia Li guessed that the old man knew only this sentence.

But this sentence is already the essence of his current situation, after all the carefree conversations and meaningless conversations.

"Since I have decided to study and test, then study hard and don't have any other pressure." Xia Yuanjun said again.

The implication is: I don’t have money to tell me.

Xia Li really wants to say, Dad, you are worthy of being my real dad. You don’t say anything, and you will make a summary directly as soon as you speak.

Should I say it or not, is this the management team within the system?

"My mom should have told you that I am still writing books part-time, and writing books is profitable... This way, only if you have pressure, you will have motivation. Otherwise, let Lucia go out for an internship alone and I will have a soft meal at home. OK." Xia Li said.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuanjun looked at him deeply and said nothing more.

This kid can have plans for himself. As a father, he is just afraid that the child will be too tired. But he won't say this.

I was really uncomfortable sitting on the sofa. Xia Yuanjun couldn't sit still, so he got up and went to the balcony to get some breath.

I habitually took out the cigarette box from my pocket, thought about it and stuffed it back into my pocket.

Xia Yuanjun stared at a blue long sword placed by the wall, hesitating whether to reach out to get it.

"This, this is a prop."

Xia Li just took the sword to absorb magic for Lucia yesterday and put it on the side.

It was completely unconsidered that the family would see it today.

There are so many miscellaneous items on this balcony, and Lao Xia is interested in this thing. But that's right. Men are born with a cold when they are guns and swords.

"Oh," Xia Yuanjun glanced at it for a while, but still couldn't help but hold it in his hand and lift it.

Frowning his eyebrows, Xia Yuanjun discovered that this thing was so heavy.

"It's quite a true reputation."

"Absolutely," Xia Li's expression on her face was quite calm, and her heart was actually in her throat.

Don’t come soon and you will be your close relative. You can still recognize your master as well as the Demon Repelling Sword, that’s not clear.

"After all, the material is quite special."

Xia Li explained that his eyes fell on the Demon Repelling Sword and did not dare to move.

Xia Yuanjun pulled out the hilt of the sword again, but he failed to pull it out after exerting force several times. It seemed like a fake sword.

“…”

call.

Xia Li was relieved when she saw this.

"You have a good relationship with Xiaolu."

Xia Yuanjun put his sword against the wall and leaned against it, and didn't plan to go back to the house. He stood on the balcony and basked in the warm winter sun. There was an occasional sound of cannons downstairs, which felt very comfortable.

His sudden words made Xia Li confused.

What was the old man thinking about...

Xia Li weighed it in her heart, probably Lao Xia was "testing" himself?

Lao Xia wanted to ask him how his relationship with Lucia was, whether he really liked it with all his heart, but because he couldn't find an entry point, it was difficult to speak, so he asked him in a positive tone.

"Since I'm willing to take her to you," Xia Li paused for a moment, and said in a firmer tone.

"That must be the one who determines her."

Xia Yuanjun looked back at him.

"Where is Xiaolu from?"

"She...is from a remote area."

"Where is your home, you must have a exact address, right?" Xia Yuanjun asked again.

Xia Li remained silent.

He had thought of creating a perfect home situation and address for Lucia before.

But in front of his parents, no matter how he sets it, there are loopholes.

After all, when this sentence came out of Xia Yuanjun's mouth, it meant that the old couple had plans to visit Lucia's hometown.

This sentence also coincides with the previous question.

First, ask Xia Li if he really likes it. After confirming his feelings, he will proceed to the next step.

"Your mom asked me to ask."

Xia Yuanjun pushed his glasses, obviously he didn't want to make his son embarrassed. He asked the bottom line about his son's girlfriend's not optimistic family situation, which was not what he wanted to do.

But after all, it is a major event in life, and parents have a clear idea of ​​asking more questions.

You have to pass this level.

"dad……"

Xia Li didn't want to deceive her parents from the bottom of her heart.

"Is she really your college classmate?"

Xia Yuanjun looked at him, and the eyes behind the lenses gazed over, which made Xia Li feel frightened.

"...This sentence was not for your mother's question," Xia Yuanjun explained.

"I just feel that your age should be a few years apart, and she doesn't look like a college student. Another point is that Xiao Lu's appearance is more combined with Chinese and Western styles, and she is not a local person's appearance, so I'm also curious about where her home is."

Although Xia Yuanjun is not as careful as Fang Xia, he has been struggling in the system for most of his life and his observation ability is still quite keen.

His series of problems hit Xia Li's key points.

Xia Li stood in the warm sunshine, which made him feel dizzy, but the strong light made him feel invisible.

"Lucia is not my classmate," Xia Li took a deep breath and said.

"And her home is very far away, so far that you can't go there at all... Also, she is the only one left in her family, and she has no relatives or friends."

After confessing all this, Xia Li finally felt relieved.

It was a bit heavy, but he had to say it.

He couldn't lie to his parents about these things for the rest of his life. He was still dreaming about his future with Lucia, marrying her and having children with her...

Including trying to use teleportation magic to get a foreign identity. If Xia Li lied about a place at this time, he would be exposed in the future.

Instead of subconsciously telling lies, Xia Li might as well tell the truth directly.

And what he said was very conservative, and he would not scare the old couple at all during the New Year.

"Very far... so far that we can't even get there?" Xia Yuanjun thought for a moment and felt that Xia Li's words were intriguing.

"Yes." Xia Li nodded.

"Abroad?"

"Not in China."

"What is her current identity?" Xia Yuanjun asked again.

Xia Li took another breath.

This old Xia usually keeps silent, but once he opens his mouth, he speaks out loud.

Every sentence is a key question.

Xia Li didn't want to be too sure, but he still had to be honest about this.

"She doesn't have an ID card..."

Xia Li added under Xia Yuanjun's surprised eyes.

"But I'll get it done."

"..."

Xia Yuanjun looked at his son, who was already a head taller than him, and was speechless in a trance.

I don't know if he was surprised or if the information was too much at the moment and he hadn't had time to digest it.

Xia Li stood there and waited quietly for a while.

The sound of cutting vegetables came from the kitchen, and Fang Xia's voice of "you beat the eggs, I'll cut the green onions" came through a door.

Fang Xia's tone was brisk, and these words were said with a smile.

Just by listening to her gentle and doting tone, it seems that you can see the happiness and satisfaction on her face.

Fang Xia loves to laugh. She can nod and say hello to everyone she meets.

But this kind of smile is just the eyes laughing. When she has Lucia as her "daughter-in-law", her smile is more happy.

This kind of happiness is the eager anticipation for the future.

Similarly, Xia Li and Xia Yuanjun, who are standing on the balcony basking in the sun, have the same feelings as their family.

"Auntie, this egg... is so red!"

"Of course, this is the country egg your grandma brought you last time, it's delicious. Do you like leek eggs or cucumber eggs?"

"I, I like both!"

"Then make both!"

"Dad," Xia Li suddenly felt a little sour in his nose when he heard the two people talking in the kitchen, and raised his hand to touch it.

"Do you think her identity is important?"

Xia Yuanjun looked into the distance.

As if touched by something, Old Xia's thoughtful expression was somewhat moved, and the deep eyes under the glasses softened a little and became brighter.

After a moment, he slowly spoke.

"It's not important."

Xia Yuanjun knew that although the amount of information just now was very large, it was definitely just the tip of the iceberg.

Xiaolu did not have the identity of China, and was not from here. All her parents, relatives and friends were no longer in this world...

It was hard to imagine how Xia Li faced these and accepted these things.

Xia Li, standing in front of him, really grew up.

"I won't tell your mother about this for the time being... The most important thing now is your own thoughts."

"Well..." After receiving his father's supportive and affirmative answer, Xia Li's face was relieved.

"I have already decided on her."
