My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 181 This is bullying! (4.6K)

Early in the morning, Xia Li was awakened by a barrage of phone calls.

He took out his cell phone and saw the caller was "Ms. Fang", and immediately got up from the bed.

"Hey?"

"Hello? What time is it? Why are you just waking up?!"

When Fang Xia heard Xia Li's sleepy voice, she knew he hadn't gotten up yet.

Xia Li paused for a moment, and thought carefully. He did set an alarm before going to bed last night...

Did the alarm not go off? Or did it go off but I subconsciously turned it off and then forgot about it?

He raised his phone uncertainly and checked the time.

My goodness, it’s only 7:30, and he set the alarm for 8 o’clock, but the time he agreed with Fang Xia was 8:30.

Fang Xia arrived an hour early!
"Mom, isn't it time yet..."

"It's getting late! Since you're awake, hurry up and pack up and go downstairs!" An urging voice came from Fang Xia's side.

Xia Li: “…”

Can I wake up if you don't call me?

Fang Xia is one of the only two people that Xia Li will not care about or refute. The other person will probably be Lucia in the future.

Xia Li quickly got out of bed, put on his clothes, and turned around to wake up Lucia, who was half asleep on the bed.

"Evil dragon, wake up!"

"Hey hey...ang?"

Lucia turned over, crossed her arms and was about to hug the arm that Xia Li extended to her.

However, Xia Li retracted his arms, lifted her from the bed, and began to skin her.

The evil dragon had only two pieces of clothing on him. He took off one, thought about it, and decided not to take off the second one.

"The Queen Mother is already downstairs."

Xia Li withdrew his hand, put on his sweater and went to the bathroom to wash up.

"Hurry up and get up. Let's go downstairs together after you finish cleaning up."

"Oh……"

Lucia rubbed her eyelids, looking like she was still sleepy. At this time, Dragon Brain had not yet fully started up, so it had to wait for a while.

Xia Li packed up and went to get New Year's goods, taking everything he bought yesterday.

Elong was still washing in front of the sink. She wiped off the water droplets with a towel, then poured out a little bit of the skin care water that Xia Li bought for her yesterday, and patted it on her fair and tender face.

The sound and rhythm are like a little seal patting its belly.

"Hit me gently..." Xia Li hesitated to speak.

After Cotton's litter box was cleaned, the dragon was finally ready to go.

Lucia was wearing a khaki cotton coat today, a dark brown beret on her head, and a light brown scarf wrapped around her neck twice. At first glance, she looked gentle and elegant, like a little painter.

Today's dressing style is mainly designed to look warm, otherwise you will be forced to wear a big flowered jacket when you go to the village.

"..."

Lucia glanced at Xia Li, and it seemed like a dragon was laughing secretly.

"What are you grinning about?"

Xia Li took out his key, locked the door, and went downstairs carrying a large box of things.

"You're dressed so thickly, wrapped up like a goblin."

Xia Li: “???”

Thank you for describing me like this so early in the morning.

Xia Li was wearing a dark green down jacket with a fox fur collar on his shoulders. The jacket was very loose, and with the hat on, he looked like a green monster.

"I'm a goblin, so you're the dragoness who lives in the goblin's lair."

"What's wrong with the Goblin's Nest?" Lucia didn't understand.

"You'll know if you read more comics online." Xia Li said tactfully.

Lucia is not interested in this type of work for the time being, but when she comes into contact with it in the future, it is estimated that her views will be refreshed again.

The XP of humans in this world is very complicated...

Especially when it comes to themes about a different world, you can spend as much time as you want.

"Bah!"

Just as she walked downstairs, the black car in the community honked its horn to urge the driver. Fang Xia was afraid of disturbing the neighbors, so she honked the horn twice quite lightly and just enough.

"Hurry up, we have to go back to grandma's house for lunch at noon."

Fang Xia stretched her neck and exhaled puffs of white air as she spoke.

Xia Li put his things in the trunk, then pulled out the back seat and sat in.

"Mom, what time is it? Isn't it still early for lunch?"

Fang Xia rolled her eyes at him and said, "Do you think lunch will be cooked by itself without me having to make it? Don't I have to light a fire and cook?"

Xia Li was choked by this sentence, and thought about it, it made sense.

"What did you buy?" Fang Xia glanced into the trunk.

"I bought a heater for my grandma, and some fruits and dairy products."

"You are sensible..."

Hearing this, Fang Xia showed a rare smile of relief on her face.

My son has grown up.

That’s right, he’s already graduated from college and has a beautiful girlfriend…

Thinking of this, Fang Xia felt even more relieved.

It is said that parents' responsibility is to raise their children until they graduate from high school. After high school graduation, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and they, as parents, let go and wait for the eagle to spread its wings and soar.

But in fact, this is not the case in today's society. The set-apart eagle does not have the ability to survive on its own and needs further financial assistance from its parents.

Some are lucky enough to find a good job during campus recruitment, while those who are unlucky have their parents to find a way to arrange a job for them. After their job is stable, they can find a partner, get married and have children...

There are only so many things in life. Parents will be worried for the rest of their lives and would like to pave their children's future with a shovel.

But look at Fang Xia herself now.

Xia Li is a child who is very easy to worry about.

After graduating from high school, he basically stopped asking his family for money. From college to entering society to finding a girlfriend, it was not Fang Xia's turn to worry about anything.

"Xiao Lu, why don't you sit in the front? The road to the village is very narrow and not easy to walk on. It's easy to get carsick if you sit in the back."

When Fang Xia saw Lucia, the expression on her face changed instantly.

It only takes a moment to go from disgust to joy.

Xia Li felt it was a pity that his mother did not perform Sichuan Opera face-changing.

But you can't say this, because saying it will automatically trigger the Shu Province Tyrannosaurus to attack.

"No need, Auntie. I want to sit with Xia Li."

Lucia climbed into the car, quickly moved her little butt and squeezed together with Xia Li, rubbing her eyes and looking very sleepy.

Fang Xia said, "Are you still sleepy? The road back home is very complicated. Xia Li doesn't know the way, so I'll be steering. Auntie drives very slowly, so we have to leave early..."

Lucia understood the hero's mother's implicit apology and shook her head repeatedly.

"It's okay Auntie, I'm not sleepy."

She, Long, also has a basic understanding of humans' complex language techniques.

Fang Xia smiled and nodded, and the vehicle started.

As Fang Xia herself said, she drove slowly and gently, unlike the men who steered the wheel violently.

Lucia was sitting in the back seat and was almost coaxed to sleep several times by this cradle-like driving style.

Xia Li leaned against the window and looked at her phone. Lucia wanted to fall asleep, but she just said she wasn't sleepy, so closing her eyes now would be like slapping herself in the face.

So, resisting the urge to sleep, Lucia leaned over to look at Xia Li's phone.

Lucia found that Xia Li was actually reading the electronic version of veterinary information. The densely packed words made her even more sleepy.

"Hey, why are you kissing me? My mom is here. This is not good."

Xia Li suddenly raised his eyes and said.

This sentence scared the dragon silly.

Lucia raised her face in surprise, looked at the gaze of the hero's mother in the rearview mirror, and then looked at the hero who seemed to be smiling beside her.

"I-I didn't!"

"I still don't admit to the stolen kiss."

"I didn't kiss..."

Lucia tried to explain, but when she saw the pair of eyes in the rearview mirror that seemed to be trying not to laugh, her little face turned red.

The hero's mother's expression of trying to hold back a smile is somewhat similar to the hero's.

She, she must have believed it!
In addition, Lucia was leaning over to look at Xia Li just now, and their cheeks were very close, so it was normal for people to mistakenly think that she was kissing Xia Li secretly. "I didn't kiss!"

Lucia argued.

Xia Li felt that if he continued teasing the dragon, it would become extremely anxious, so he changed his tone and spoke with some regret.

"Well, then I must be overthinking it."

"..."

Lucia stared at him, her cheeks puffed out.

Bullying, this is definitely bullying!
While the hero's mother wasn't paying attention, Lucia used a dragon strike and bumped Xia Li with her shoulder.

Xia Li was reading a book when he was suddenly interrupted by a dragon.

He didn't expect that this dragon was so bold that he actually dared to launch a sneak attack on him.

With his shoulder suddenly tilted to the side, Xia Li bumped back. Lucia refused to accept it and bumped into him again.

The two of them were bumping into each other in the back seat, and even the car was shaking.

Fang Xia rarely gets distracted when driving, but the noise made by the two people behind her is so loud that she can't help but take a few more glances.

Not to mention, it's quite cheerful.

……

The car drove around for two hours before arriving in the countryside.

Fang Xia’s prediction was correct, and it was right to set off early.

It’s congested. It’s too congested.

Qingcheng City is notoriously congested, and the country roads are even more congested during the Spring Festival.

Fang Xia’s driving skills are not very good to begin with, and when she encounters a narrow road and meets other cars, she can make everyone in the car sweat profusely.

Xia Li volunteered several times to drive instead of Fang Xia, but was rejected by Fang Xia every time.

Lucia finally fell asleep on the car seat. She curled up her body and her sleeping posture was exactly the same as Cotton at home.

Xia Li secretly brought her over and let her rest her head on his legs.

After thinking about it, she realized that Long always complained that his legs were too stiff, so she had to take the lumbar pillow from the passenger seat and let her sleep on it.

The scenery outside the car transitioned from a bustling metropolis to a bustling small town.

As time went by, the buildings were gradually replaced by flats, small bridges and flowing water began to appear beside the driveways, and smoke rose from the quiet and peaceful fields.

The scenery here is not as picturesque as those in famous scenic spots, but wherever you look, you can feel the peaceful and tranquil life.

Even through a layer of car window glass, you can still feel the rural atmosphere.

Looking down at Lucia lying on his lap, Xia Li gently brushed the hair by her ear to one side, revealing a small piece of crystal pink earlobe.

He leaned down and whispered in that ear.

"Wake up, stinky dragon."

Lucia slowly opened her eyes, arched her head against Xia Li's body, opened her pink lips, and said in a daze: "I just dreamed that you and I were in the car, and you slandered me for kissing you..."

"It's not a dream, it's real." Xia Li said.

One sentence awakens the dragon from its dream.

Lucia found that she was really in a car, and the person sitting in the driver's seat was the hero's mother.

Not a dream!
She remembered that when she got on the car, she insisted that she was not sleepy, but she actually fell asleep!
"It's okay, just sleep if you're tired. You guys wait in the car for a while, I'll go downstairs to buy some groceries."

Fang Xia turned around and spoke in a gentle tone.

Seeing the helpless expression on Lucia's face, she couldn't help but smile.

Lucia's style of doing things and the way she speaks are both very interesting.

This kind of 'interesting' doesn't mean that she is humorous or witty, but rather a more natural, childlike feeling.

This feeling can naturally bring people a favorable impression, and the mood seems to be affected by her and become very good.

No wonder Xia Li likes it so much. Fang Xia also likes it very much.

"Come on, let's go down and take a look too."

Xia Li opened the car door and got out with Elong.

It’s too stuffy in the car, so I just came out to get some fresh air.

It is less than one kilometer away from here to my grandmother's house. Now we are at the entrance of the village. There is a small market here that sells all kinds of daily necessities, fruits and vegetables. The things are very fresh and the prices are cheap.

Fang Xia went to the front to buy meat. Her grandmother's family grew some vegetables, but what they lacked now was meat products, such as chicken, duck, fish, and beef. These things would be better during the New Year, so the more the better.

"Would you like to eat strawberries?"

Xia Li took the evil dragon for a walk. Winter strawberries were grown in greenhouses. They were big and red and looked very appetizing.

Lucia looked in the direction of the sight and saw many bamboo baskets placed on both sides of the road, with big red strawberries inside.

Lucia had eaten a lot of candied strawberries, but this was the first time she had seen fresh strawberries. Each strawberry was almost as big as half her palm.

"Grandma, how much are the strawberries?"

The evil dragon's eyes lit up as he watched, and Xia Li squatted down and began to choose.

The old lady in front of the basket had gray hair, probably because of her hearing problems. When Xia Li approached, she started talking to herself:

“It’s chocolate covered strawberries!”

"I say, how to sell it?" Xia Li said loudly.

“Just picked it this morning!”

"Money, how much per pound!"

It is quite troublesome to communicate with elderly people. Xia Li almost shouted until his voice was hoarse, but the hard-of-hearing old lady still couldn't hear him clearly.

"Yes, yes, I grow them myself..."

The old woman was afraid that Xia Li was saying that her strawberries were not good, so she kept gesturing with her hands.

Xia Li: “…”

Lucia, who was watching the fun from the side, squatted down, raised one hand, and rubbed her index and middle fingers with her thumb - this is the Earthling way of implying the word "money", and the dragon really learned it.

"Oh! The big one is eighteen pounds, and the small one is fifteen!"

"She said the older one is eighteen." Lucia turned and said to Xia Li.

Xia Li: "You are quite a smart dragon..."

"Eighteen yuan is so expensive, even more expensive than meat." Lucia paused, feeling that it was not worth it.

"It's already cheap. It's 18 here, but 36 in the city. It's not a problem to sell strawberries of this size for double the price."

Lucia's eyes lit up, and she quickly thought of an idea: "Then let's buy them all back and then sell them... and make a fortune!"

"You have a good business sense," Xia Li nodded and said.

“But have you ever calculated the shipping costs and depreciation?

Moreover, by the time we take them to the city to sell, the strawberries will no longer be fresh. The traders in this business start collecting strawberries at three or four in the morning and then resell them..."

The evil dragon listened with great interest and found it very interesting.

But when she heard that she had to get up at three o'clock, she backed out.

This is one of the basic rules for the operation of the city. In places she cannot see, there are countless people working hard like this...

"Buy three pounds."

Xia Li learned his lesson this time and gestured a number with his hand.

The old lady immediately understood and weighed a bag for Xia Li using the traditional small scale she carried with her.

Xia Li held it in his hand and it felt really heavy.

The three pounds I bought in the countryside always feel like more than in the city.

Just as he was about to leave, the evil dragon behind Xia Li was stopped by the old lady.

A few big red strawberries were stuffed into Lucia's pocket, and soon the pocket was filled with them.

"The girl is very well behaved. Eat two more. They are very sweet." The old lady said kindly.

Xia Li couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.

Your face can really be used to make a living.

"Thanks……"

Lucia is thin-skinned and speaks in a low voice.

The old lady obviously couldn't hear them, she just smiled and sat there watching them leave.

Lucia followed Xia Li in small steps, silently took out a strawberry from her pocket and put it in Xia Li's hand.

"You're welcome to eat." said the dragon generously.

"You didn't say 'some humans offered sacrifices to me'?" Xia Li turned around and looked at her.

The temperature in the countryside was very low, and the little face was frozen red. The cool breeze brought the fragrance of grass waves.

Lucia is a little shy, like a shy little country girl.

She lowered her head and took a bite of the strawberry. The sweet strawberry fragrance spread in her mouth. She hummed softly, "This is not an offering. This is the kindness of mankind..."
