My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 125 I am happy to eat my rice

Originally planning to spend an afternoon accumulating some manuscripts, Xia Li planned to spend the next two days with Lucia.

He and Lucia had been living in a relationship for so long, but they had never had a proper date.

Even if Lucia doesn't have the same needs as a human girl, Xia Li, as a man, should still do something.

He has made all the plans. He will take Lucia out for a trip after he saves up two more chapters.

After all, we have a car now, so it is very convenient to travel long distances.

As a result, after all the hard work today, not a single word was changed, and all the time was spent on exploring the dragon.

It took Xia Li a long time to coax the evil dragon into submission.

He was afraid that the evil dragon would think he was a bad guy and stay away from him from then on.

He explained that the lie just now was not a lie, but a common trick used by human males on women they like.

Just like birds in nature courtship, humans’ courtship is more complicated…

Lucia thought about it for a while and found that it did make sense.

So she didn't accuse Xia Li of any crime anymore, and went to the kitchen with a red face to make dinner for Xia Li.

Xia Li grabbed her and said that today was Thursday and he would insist on getting Lucia to have a fried chicken burger with him.

Lucia kept saying, "The food outside is not as healthy as the food at home," but when the takeaway arrived, she was so delicious that she almost chewed up the whole chicken bone and swallowed it.

"Is it delicious?"

"Well, it's delicious."

This food that can appease children can also be used to appease dragons.

Lucia licked her fingers clean, and her full and satisfied little face looked particularly relaxed.

"That's what making money is all about," Xia Li said, tapping the empty box.

“The money that humans earn in this society is always used for two purposes: the first is for survival, and the second is for pleasing oneself. Often the latter accounts for a large proportion.

In today's society, it is actually very difficult to starve to death. A five-yuan bowl of noodles can last a week, and at worst, you can survive by rummaging through trash cans or begging. The efforts we make in this society are basically to please ourselves."

"Oh……"

Lucia understood the general idea.

Food bought with money really tastes better than food cooked at home.

Putting aside the quantity and cost-effectiveness, Lucia at least felt the satisfaction that eating these foods brought her.

"How much is this bucket?" she asked.

"There's a promotion today, fifty dollars. Normally it should be more expensive."

"Fifty……"

Lucia counted on her fingers and began to assess the value of the meal using her own unique unit of measurement - fried poop.

"The money for fifty fried rice cakes." Xia Li helped her calculate the answer.

"Fifty!" the evil dragon shouted.

"Well, since we have big appetites, I ordered three buckets."

“That’s expensive!”

"One hundred and fifty yuan is enough for a meal once in a while," Xia Li advised. "In this society, money will become less and less valuable if you keep it in your pocket. Ten years ago, five yuan could buy five kilograms of rice, but now five yuan can only buy two kilograms. This is depreciation."

"So we should spend our money in the future. There is no need to save on living expenses. These expenses are just needs for us."

Xia Li has been teaching Lucia the three views of mankind. Now it is time to tell her the values ​​of this society.

He was afraid that the evil dragon would be too frugal and live a hard life with him at home every day.

You can treat him unfairly, it's not like he hasn't had a hard life where he had to eat a box of instant noodles for a week.

But it is not allowed to let his girlfriend suffer.

"But... we have no way to make money now."

Lucia lowered her head and fiddled with the chicken bones on the table, seeming to be thinking about something.

After understanding the importance of money in modern life, Lucia felt an increasing sense of crisis.

It is very difficult for a dragon that has lost its power to find a place in human society.

Lucia knew very well that with her current abilities, it was almost impossible for her to find a job that suited her in society, and she had no way of making money.

So, even if it was just the money for a hotpot rabbit meal, she wanted to save as much as possible.

This idea is strange to say the least.

When he was a dragon, he had no worries about what to eat or what to do, but now he has become cautious.

Lucia carefully analyzed the root cause of this idea...

She wanted to spend more time with Xia Li.

"Hasn't that travelogue started to generate income?"

Xia Li knocked on the table to wake up the evil dragon whose thoughts had wandered.

"Besides, didn't I tell you that I would go out and look for a job?"

"What about me?" the dragon asked. "You? How long have you been on Earth? Get familiar with life here first, and it won't be too late to make a decision after you find something you like to do."

"I'm just going to eat white rice at home?"

Lucia raised her face, which was still covered with ketchup, and asked blankly.

Xia Li laughed and said, "What's wrong with eating white rice? It's my family's rice, I am happy with it."

"..." Lucia choked.

The hero just said not long ago that he would let her be self-reliant, and if she didn't work, she could go out and become a wandering dragon... Why did he change his mind now?

Is this also a sign of love?
"Okay, okay, just put your heart at ease. If you have any difficulties, I hope you can rely on me instead of wondering about it alone."

Xia Li stood up and cleaned up the garbage on the table.

Lucia’s current values ​​are not yet formed. It is actually very simple to correct the dragon clan’s inherent hoarding behavior. Just let her enjoy the happiness brought by consumption more.

"Let's go out and digest the food."

After packing up all the garbage and taking it away, Xia Li took out the car keys and waved them in front of Lucia.

Now that I have the car, how can I not drive it for a few more days?

Lucia didn't say much, and followed Xia Li like a dragon as usual.

"Just got off work, Aunt Zhao."

In the corridor, Zhao Qin, a neighbor on the second floor, was rummaging through her bag for her keys. When she heard Xia Li's greeting, she turned back with a smile.

"Yes, the store is not busy today, so I came back early from get off work. Have you eaten? There is food at home. How about coming to my house and having a meal?"

"We've eaten, and we're going to go shopping."

"Okay, drive slower."

After declining the neighbor's kindness, Xia Li took Lucia's little hand and went downstairs.

It was still bright outside, but in Sichuan Province the sun usually didn't set until eight in the evening.

The sun was red at this time, hanging scorchingly in the sky.

"I was greeting my neighbor just now. You should follow my lead and call him what I call you. This is basic etiquette among humans." Xia Li said as he walked.

Lucia listened carefully and thought: "Etiquette...what about Zhou Anqi and the others?"

"It doesn't matter between friends, you can call them whatever you want, or not call them at all, it's mainly for the elders... especially my parents, when you see them in the future, you should also say a few words of greeting like this, so that you can appear to be a polite person."

"Oh……"

Lucia silently noted the key points.

After all, this is a matter concerning the hero's parents, so this is very important to her.

"Also, you should greet me occasionally," Xia Li gave an example, "For example, when you wake up in the morning, say 'good morning' to me, and before you close your eyes at night, say 'good night' to me. It would be best if you crawl to my bedside and say it in my ear."

"..."

Lucia thought about it carefully and felt that her relationship with Xia Li was not so unfamiliar that she needed to greet him like this?
"What good will it do to tell me?"

"I'll be launched like a rocket if I tell you so."

"……Um?"

"It would be even better if these good morning and good night could be added with a prefix." Xia Li said more and more.

"What prefix?" Lucia asked.

How could the evil dragon understand what human names and titles are?

Until now, she only knew the two common relationships of "friends" and "parents", and at most "lovers". If there are more, her mind would become confused.

"I'll ask you a question."

Xia Li did not answer. When Lucia heard that he was going to give her a question, she immediately became energetic.

"what is the problem?"

"I see you've been learning about interpersonal relationships lately... Based on our current relationship, if our relationship gets better and more elevated, what should you call me?"

Lucia was confused by the complicated question and answered after a moment.

"Boy friend……?"

"Above boyfriend?"

"do not know……"

"Just to remind you, use the word 'old' to form a word."

Xia Li came to the front of the car and stopped.

He was looking forward to Lucia giving a correct answer.

The evil dragon had a silent little face.

You can tell that she is really thinking hard.

After half a minute of silence, Lucia gave an uncertain answer.

"Old...old thing?"
