It’s better to be at home (3)

"Village Chief Zhou, Lu Xiaoxiao, you are here, come in and sit down quickly." Hotpot opened the fence door and said to Village Chief Zhou and Lu Xiaoxiao.

After hearing what Hot Pot said, Village Chief Zhou said, "I won't go into the house. Lu Xiaoxiao said she couldn't find your house, so I brought her here."

After hearing what Village Chief Zhou said, Hotpot didn't let him into the house anymore. Instead, he said to Village Chief Zhou: "When Uncle Tian is free, remember to come to my house for a drink."

"Okay, I'm leaving first."

After Village Chief Zhou left, Hot Pot took Lu Xiaoxiao into the house, and then poured her a glass of water before saying, "Why did you come to see me today?"

"It's nothing. I just have to go home tomorrow and take a look at the flames."

"It was too late to repair the house yesterday, so Huo Miao is still sleeping. It will probably take a while before he wakes up."

"Don't worry, Zhang Xu won't pick me up until evening."

"Lu Xiaoxiao, can I ask you something?" Hot Pot looked at Lu Xiaoxiao and said.

When Lu Xiaoxiao heard about hot pot, she didn't immediately agree, but asked, "What's the matter?"

"When you are free, can you come to Xiajiang Village and teach Huo Miao some self-defense skills? I'm afraid Huo Miao and his mother will be bullied after I leave here."

"There is no problem with this, but I may not come to Xiajiang Village often because I have to earn work points and go to school after spring."

"You don't have to come often, you just need to come occasionally to teach Huo Miao a few tricks to protect yourself."

"That's no problem."

"Thanks."

"Does your family have money?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked the hot pot.

"There are some."

"That's good. Remember to teach your wife how to live here before you leave. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understand, I not only want to teach my wife, I will also teach the people in the village."

"Um."

"Sister Xiao." Huo Miao came out of the room and saw Lu Xiaoxiao sitting on the kang drinking tea. He immediately shouted excitedly and ran towards Lu Xiaoxiao.

"Are you awake?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked when she saw Huo Miao standing in front of her.

Huo Miao nodded repeatedly after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words: "I've already woken up."

"Miaomiao, you go wash up and eat first, and then play with your sister Xiao." Hot Pot said towards Huo Miao.

Huo Miao didn't wash up immediately after hearing what Hot Pot said. He glanced at Lu Xiaoxiao hesitantly and said, "Dad, I'll be washing up later, and I'm not hungry."

When Lu Xiaoxiao heard Huo Miao's words, she knew what he was thinking. She reached out and touched Huo Miao's head and said, "I won't leave until evening. You go and wash up and eat first."

"All right."

Half an hour later, after Huo Miao finished eating, he took Lu Xiaoxiao to the yard and asked Lu Xiaoxiao to continue teaching him writing.

When Lu Xiaoxiao played with Huo Miao at the hot pot restaurant until five o'clock in the evening, she took Huo Miao to the main room, then took out five notebooks, ten pencils and two erasers from her bag and handed them to Huo Miao: "These The notebook, pen and eraser are gifts from Sister Xiao. From now on, when you learn to write, you will write in the notebook, remember?"

"remember."

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction after hearing Huo Miao's words. Then she took out a pound of fruit candies from her bag and handed them to Huo Miao: "You can take out a candy from it after you learn ten words. This is what Sister Xiao gave me." Your reward.”

After hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words, Hot Pot did not reach out to take the candy. Instead, he looked at Lu Xiaoxiao and said, "Sister Xiao, are you not going to see me anymore?"
