Of course, things were not so cruel in the end, and Wu’s mother made a new noodle for her husband.
However, it was not the noodles she had rolled out in the morning, but the instant noodles that she already had at home.
And after cracking two soft-boiled eggs, adding five slices of thick-cut barbecued pork that is stewed for flavor, and pouring on the pork bone soup that has been cooked overnight in a timed pressure cooker, the cheap noodles have become high-end.
At the dinner table, Wu Ke discovered a strange phenomenon. The pasta in the bowl of a strange child who appeared in his house was almost as luxurious as his sister's.
You know, his sister has family status in this family.
Unexpectedly, the mother who holds the throne of the family would put an outsider child on the same level of treatment as his sister.
"Let me introduce to you, this is the child of an old colleague of your father's, because the family..."
Speaking of this, Mother Wu suddenly paused when she thought of something. She raised her head and took a careful look at the 12- or 13-year-old girl wearing panda pajamas on the dining table. She found that the other girl seemed to be focusing on the pasta in front of the table. She breathed a sigh of relief. He skipped the next paragraph and continued.
"Anyway, this child came to Jiangcheng for a trip. Your father used to be taken care of by that old colleague in the company, so he invited her to live in our house."
[My parents suffered an accident, and I have no friends or relatives. There is only one grandma left at home. What a poor child...]
Thinking about some of the things her husband mentioned last night, Wu's mother couldn't help but sigh a little in her heart.
After looking at her silly son, she felt a little overflowing with sympathy, but she added.
"Just in time, Wu Ke, you're here. Later, you and your sister will take Xiaoshuang for a walk and go to the amusement park in the city."
"Eh?"
Wu Ke was a little shocked, and Wu Lili next to him was also shocked, but thinking of being able to go out with his brother, he nodded acquiescing.
"What? I'll give you pocket money and let you take your two sisters out to play at public expense. Do you have any objections?"
Mother Wu stared and looked over.
Wu Ke: "..."
He came back because he wanted to spend more time with his family, but he was immediately kicked out by his mother to take care of the children. This...
Well, Wu Ke, who knew that his family status was only higher than that of his father, had no right to refuse and could only silently accept what his mother handed over...
Ten hundred dollar bills?
Eh!
This is too much.
In the past, his monthly pocket money was only fifty yuan, and his sister's monthly pocket money was only five hundred yuan.
Now, his mother actually gave him twenty times the amount of his previous monthly pocket money?
Could it be that the person next to her is her biological daughter?
"Mom, are you giving too much?"
Wu Ke asked cautiously.
Of course, he doesn't care about money now.
After all, last night, if he had taken advantage of him, he would have done something wrong.
Well, it should be that on the way to doing chivalry, he robbed the rich and helped the poor.
Not to mention too much, just the cash that can be obtained directly, there should be half a small goal.
Wu Ke now just feels that his mother is a bit strange and a bit too kind to others.
"Not much, after all, only salary can create happiness."
Mother Wu said with seriousness and sincerity.
"Today, don't save money. Spend the thousand yuan as much as you want. The purpose is to let your two sisters have fun."
As Wu's mother spoke, she suddenly came closer, lowered her voice, and whispered in Wu Ke's ear: "If you kid dares to hide some of it privately, then I won't let Lily bring it to you next weekend." It’s time to eat!”
Wu Ke: (′-`;)
[Mom, what image do I have in your eyes? 】
Wu Ke thought about it seriously and recalled his past self in this world.
When his mother asks him to run errands, such as buying soy sauce, he often asks for some drinks and snacks as payment. But every time he goes to the store, he only buys soy sauce, but instead of buying one for himself I hid the money I paid for drinks and snacks, secretly saving money, just to buy the Superman discs, peripheral posters and other things at that time...
Wu Ke's face darkened a little as he recalled the past events. Now he is a mature SB. The number of people and intelligent lives he has saved can be calculated in units of hundreds of millions. Naturally, he will not buy those things from before. .
But his mother didn't know, and he couldn't honestly explain that he actually went to other worlds to take risks and become a SB...
There was a breath in his mouth. After holding it for a few seconds, Wu Kecai nodded helplessly towards his mother and said with assurance: "I will never hide any penny of this thousand yuan. I promise my mother You promise to take good care of Lily and this little sister."
Saying this, Wu Ke raised his hand, and instead of pointing in a rude way, he pointed all five fingers of his palm toward the girl wearing panda pajamas.
"Aunt Wu, it doesn't have to be like this. I don't plan to go to any amusement park..."
Seeing the mention of herself, Shan Shuang raised her head and said to Mother Wu over there.
"Xiao Shuang, I know your family's upbringing is very strict, but it is a rare experience to relax and be a playful child once in a while."
Father Wu said suddenly while eating noodles.
"If I hadn't asked for leave because of my bad work, I would have taken you there myself.
However, it’s the same as asking my son to take you there now. Don’t refuse, just agree.
The main thing is not to give yourself too much burden and pressure that is not for your age..."
Shan Shuang turned around and looked over, meeting a pair of soft eyes.
After a moment of silence, the girl nodded.
"Okay, Uncle Wu, I will go and experience the amusement park."
Father Wu smiled, but the meaning in his eyes was a bit complicated and difficult to describe.
. . . .
More than 20 years ago, when Wu Di had just joined the Sixth Bureau of the CIA, the girl's grandfather took him as a newcomer.
Later, during a ghost king disaster, the girl's grandfather died in battle.
The girl's father inherited the family's ancestral spirit and became his new colleague and his friend.
Unexpectedly, after more than ten years of retirement from the front line, Yu Jiangcheng started to live a normal life of clocking in and going to work. When Wu Di heard the news about his old friend again, he had already gone underground.
The reason is that when I suppressed several ghost kings in the past, the injured part relapsed, and the body could not withstand the constant erosion of the possessed ancestral spirit, so the person died...
Wu Di knew that sooner or later his old friend would have such a day. The price of having a single family member as a suppressor for generations, even their head family members, would become part of the ancestral spirit devoured.
However, Wu Di did not expect that his old friend would choose his daughter to become the next head of the Shan family...
"This is the responsibility and obligation that a single family member should bear..."
Shan Shuang said this last night, but Wu Di felt that it was more like a curse.
Of course, as an outsider, Wu Di couldn't say anything. He also respected those single family members who knew exactly what their final fate would be, but still chose to become shields and swords to protect ordinary people in the face of ghosts and monsters.
Therefore, the only thing he can do is to invite the child Shan Shuang to live in his home. When encountering ghosts and monsters in Jiangzhou, he should handle them as much as possible instead of letting the other party drive the ancestral spirit in him. to fight...
Regarding the Shan family, Wu Di respected him very much, but he couldn't understand it. As a father of two children, although he always encouraged his son to be a person with a sense of justice, if he was allowed to introduce his son or daughter into Working in a dangerous department like the Sixth Bureau of the CIA, which deals with ghosts, is impossible...
Rather than letting his sons and daughters gain extraordinary powers, Wu Di would rather let them live their lives peacefully without knowing the truth about the world...
Therefore, Wu Di could not understand the Shan family's family tradition of killing ghosts as its mission, and he would not practice the kind of thing where every generation of ghost-killers would continue to fight ghosts for generations.
. . . .
[A very ordinary family...]
Shan Shuang ate the noodles and thought silently in her heart.
Generally speaking, most of those who engage in their special profession of dealing with ghosts come from special family backgrounds.
And even if there are occasional passers-by who are involved in ghost incidents and have certain talents, those passers-by will gradually become one of them after choosing to join the special department.
And passers-by, the families they will form, will also learn something about the other side of the world.
But it is the kind of family that ordinary night watchmen have, and they know a little bit about ghosts. For Uncle Wu, who was able to defeat a group of ghost kings in the country just by relying on his ghost body, he is definitely the number one person in the country. , whose family did not expect it to be so... ordinary.
The other party has an ordinary wife. Since meeting last night, she has shown a lot of emotions and has tried to hide them, but she has not been able to hide her emotions at all. She is completely different from her mother who married her father. Type of women…
There is also an ordinary daughter. When they first met, she was somewhat hostile to him because he took her room. However, after being pulled over by Aunt Wu, she whispered something...
Well, in fact, I completely heard what he said. After he said that he had no parents and was already a lonely child, the hostility disappeared immediately.
On the contrary, it was a little cold when I used it, but it must have been a caring attitude towards me. I even lent me my panda pajamas to wear...
The last one is an ordinary son. It can be seen that the boy who is older than himself is very sunny and has a cheerful personality. With just one glance, Shan Shuang can tell that the other boy is completely different from himself and his father. People in this world are just ordinary normal people...
[Perhaps, protecting the ordinary life of himself and his family is the real reason why Uncle Wu, his father's friend, is clearly practicing the ghost body, but has never allowed himself to fall into the ghost side...]
After finishing the noodles and drinking the soup in the bowl, Shan Shuang thought silently.
In the past, when she was still alive, her father had told her to find a goal to protect that was more important than her own life. Only in this way could she be less vulnerable to being exposed to ghosts and ghosts. The power of ghosts has affected them, and the ghosts here probably include the ancestral spirits of their Shan family...
Her father didn't make it clear at the time, but Shan Shuang now looked at the scene in front of her, a seemingly ordinary family of four, and vaguely had such a sudden feeling.
[Perhaps what my deceased father wanted to learn on his own was actually Uncle Wu’s ability to keep his ghost body and human heart...]
It was her mission to pursue Xia Youjie, but this was actually just incidental. After Shan Shuang inherited the family's ancestral spirit, she originally planned to come to Jiangzhou in accordance with her father's will and meet Wu Di, her father's old friend, and At the same time, he is also a retired veteran town-governer and wants to learn the experience of being a town-governor...
Of course, if it hadn't been for the strange incident that happened last night, Shan Shuang would probably have come to meet Wu Di after dealing with Xia Youjie, the wanted criminal who came from Japan.
But now, after the uncle Wu next to her knew about the situation, she seemed to be restricted by the other party's right to do whatever she wanted.
Shan Shuang is not an idiot. After she wanted to live in the dormitory of the Sixth Bureau's Jiangzhou branch, but was invited to this home by the enthusiastic opponent, she could vaguely feel this meaning. Last night, after she made the request When she went to continue tracking her mission target, the other party even patted her chest, but he also took over her mission.
"Then, it's time for me to go to work, Xiaoke, you have to take good care of Xiaoshuang, do you understand?"
After Wu's father finished eating the noodles, he stood up, picked up his briefcase and told his son with a smile.
"Xiao Shuang, have fun, relax, calm down, don't think too much, just leave all the serious matters in your family to the adults, and you, just play and treat it like a normal child , as the homework I should do..."
After speaking to his son, Wu's father knelt down and said this to the girl.
Shan Shuang somewhat understood.
[Play], [Be a normal child]...
Probably, this is the homework assigned by this Uncle Wu, right? !
Wu Ke didn't expect that his mother would explain it like this, but his father would also explain it like this...
Wu Ke looked at the girl next to him who looked like a junior high school student. According to his analysis, if the other party was not the illegitimate daughter of his own parents and had no blood relationship, he must be a child with a tragic story. Otherwise, someone like his parents would be so maternal. , the appearance of an explosion of fatherly love is really hard to explain.
Hiding what he analyzed deep in his heart, Wu Ke nodded towards his father: "I know, Dad, I will take good care of her."
At the same time, Wu Ke looked at the girl with soft eyes like his own father: "I forgot to introduce myself just now. My name is Wu Ke. You can call me by my name directly, or you can follow my sister and call me brother. "
"I can only call you brother. There is no such refrain as brother."
Next to her, Wu Lili heard this and immediately said, obviously, the girl is suffering from arrogance.
In the presence of outsiders, she didn't want to feel too close to her brother.
"Okay, brother."
Shan Shuang thought for a while and shouted politely.
Then, she sensed a hostility.
