My wife is a dragon.

Chapter 221 How come you still enjoy the punishment?

The educational method in Fang Xia's family has never been repressive education or overprotective and doting education.

To put it nicely, their family's educational method is to let children be independent.

To put it bluntly, it's just free-range.

When my family was doing business, I was so busy that I had little time to look after Xia Li. Xia Li had been going to and from school by herself since she was in elementary school. When it rained, she would go home with her neighbor under her umbrella. When she was hungry, she would eat at her neighbor's house. When she was bored, she would beat up the neighbor's children...

Just let it roam free like this.

As time goes by, the child grows up.

When Xia Li insisted on not taking any pocket money from his family when he went to college, Fang Xia was both worried and relieved.

I am glad that my son has grown up, but I am also worried that he will learn bad things after he comes into contact with society...

This is what being a mother is like. Everything is so conflicting. While I was being so cautious, my son already had a girlfriend and will be starting a new family in a few years.

Fang Xia began to worry about all kinds of trivial things again.

I was afraid that Xia Li would be cheated by his girlfriend, and that his dignity and money would be exploited like what happened online...

But on the contrary, what Fang Xia saw was a virtuous girl who was obedient to Xia Li and took special care of him.

Fang Xia started to worry again. The little girl spoiled Xia Li too much and turned Xia Li into a useless person.

Her son is like this.

When faced with difficulties, he is steady and reliable. When faced with a comfortable environment, he can lie down and become a useless person...

"Xiao Lu, take a break. Don't spoil him. Let him add more food by himself."

After the dishes were ready, Xia Li just sat on the chair like a disabled person, not moving at all. Fang Xia was very displeased with him.

Lucia smiled sweetly at her and brought two bowls of rice.

"It's okay Auntie, it's just something I can do."

"It's okay, mom. It's just something that Xiaolu can do easily."

The young couple chatted with each other, leaving Fang Xia speechless.

When the rice was served, Xia Li, the disabled person, finally moved. He picked up a pair of chopsticks and smiled at Lucia.

"Thank you, my girlfriend."

"..."

Lucia hummed softly, and continued to eat without saying anything.

Oh, let Lucia pamper me in front of my mother, and then watch my mother silently object but unable to refute...

You know what, it feels pretty good.

Xia Li was secretly happy.

"Come on, Xiaolu, this is bitter bamboo shoots. I brought them here specially from Miyang City. There is no such bamboo shoots in Qingcheng City. It tastes slightly bitter, but also has a refreshing fragrance."

Fang Xia still focused her attention on Lucia. She picked up the cut bamboo shoots one by one and put them in Lucia's bowl.

Lucia had never eaten anything like this before, so she put it close to her nose and sniffed it.

The bitter bamboo shoots smelled like grass, which reminded Lucia of a meadow, and she was the calf eating grass on the meadow.

Just eat grass. She is a giant dragon, so how can she not eat grass often?

She stuffed the new food into her mouth with some anticipation, but as soon as she took a bite, Lucia's little face froze.

"How is it?" Fang Xia asked.

Lucia nodded with a stiff neck.

"Nice, nice times..."

so bitter!

It smells fresh and tastes like Chinese medicine!

If Houttuynia cordata can be ranked first in the "foods that dragons dislike the most", then bitter bamboo shoots are the well-deserved second!

Go to hell with bitter melon!
"Haha, as long as you like it, this is also a specialty of our province. Xia Li has loved it since childhood." Fang Xia said kindly.

Hearing this, Lucia secretly glanced at Xia Li's expression.

Xia Li ate while holding back laughter.

He could naturally see that the dragon could not accept this kind of food.

But in order not to expose the evil dragon, Xia Li decided to keep silent.

Lucia puffed out her cheeks and swallowed the bamboo shoots.

"If you like it, eat more."

As a very considerate boyfriend, Xia Li would of course pamper his girlfriend.

He picked up two pieces of bamboo shoots as thick as fingers and put them on Lucia's rice.

In order to prevent the bamboo shoots from falling, he pressed them into the rice to compact it.

Lucia: “…………”

"I heard from your Aunt Li... the one who runs the pet hospital in Miyang City, that this year's veterinary qualification exam will only be held in June. How have you been studying recently?"

Fang Xia was not idle during the meal. Xia Li didn't chat with her much usually. This time, it was a rare opportunity for her to come back to see him, so of course she wanted to chat more about the situation.

Xia Li lowered his head to eat, and answered only after swallowing.

"I have memorized almost everything I need to memorize... the rest depends on luck."

What Xia Li said was true. After all, no matter how many times you practice or predict the questions, the accuracy rate will never be as high as the systematic learning in school.

I have done everything I can, and the rest is really up to fate.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you didn't pass the exam."

Fang Xia glanced at the living room, which was filled with all kinds of study materials.

This reminded Fang Xia of Xia Li's sprint period in his senior year of high school, when he read all night long and went to school at dawn with dark circles under his eyes.

Seeing her son working so hard, Fang Xia, as a mother, also feels distressed.

She sighed and said, "If you want to open a pet hospital, you can just open it directly. If you need various procedures and certificates, you can just hire a few certified veterinarians."

"Mom, I've made up my mind, please don't back out on me..."

There was an extra piece of meat in the bowl, which was fed to him by Lucia just now. Xia Li lowered his head and nibbled off the meat steak, talking while eating.

“I can consider hiring doctors in the future, but if I don’t understand the professional knowledge in this area, how can I, as the dean, convince the public?

It is easy for me to learn now, and Xiaolu, the nurse on duty, is teaching me clinical experience, I..."

Xia Li knew that her mother was concerned about her.

Maybe even Fang Xia felt that it was too difficult for Xia Li to study cross-disciplinary subjects on his own, and she didn’t want to put pressure on him, so she thought of another way out for Xia Li.

But Xia Li had made up his mind. He wanted to open a husband-and-wife shop with Lucia instead of being a hands-off boss.

Xia Li wanted to convince his mother as much as possible by using virtue to convince her, but before he could finish his words, his lips suddenly stopped moving.

What made him stop abruptly was not some logical error or a stutter in his speech...

It’s all because of…

There is something wrapped around my legs!
It was something soft and silky, yet a little hard and cool, like a snake.

If there was no one else present, when Xia Li felt the 'snake' wrapped around his legs, he could just take off his clothes and pounce on it.

But this was in front of my mom!

Xia Li's nerves were tense and he suddenly felt sweaty.

Cold sweat has begun to appear on my forehead.

He looked up at Fang Xia.

Fang Xia didn't notice the movement of the watch and was picking up some meat for Lucia.

Today, our family has delicious food and spicy drinks, including pork ribs, fish, and stewed chicken. We have everything.

The evil dragon enjoyed the meal very much.

Only when Fang Xia came back could she feel this way. Usually, she and Xia Li would just eat one or two dishes at home.

"If you have a pressure cooker, the ribs will be stewed softer... But don't use the pressure cooker when you make it yourself. It's easy to burn your hands. Let Xia Li do it."

Fang Xia had automatically skipped the topic she had just discussed with Xia Li.

Since Xia Li has expressed her determination, she won't worry too much.

In comparison, Lucia was more attractive to her.

"Yes, okay, Auntie."

Lucia was eating with a smile on her face, her eyes slightly narrowed, and a happy expression on her face.

The two little legs hanging in the air, swaying left and right, look like a carefree little girl, so innocent.

However, beneath this kind and lovely appearance, an unknown dragon tail extends from behind her tail vertebrae.

The back of the chair under Lucia's butt was hollow, and the rectangular gap was just enough for her to stick her big tail out, which then hooked over and around Xia Li's ankle without anyone noticing.

Well, so exciting...

Xia Li felt like his heart was about to stop.

He hooked his instep and lifted up the dragon's tail. The tail was very heavy, and the dragon scales rubbed against his trouser legs, feeling hard.

"Why do you sweat so much just for a meal?"

Fang Xia looked up and saw beads of sweat on Xia Li's forehead, so she tore off two pieces of paper and asked him to wipe it himself.

"Xia Li is not feeling well."

Lucia interjected, adding fuel to the fire.

Fang Xia had to pay attention now and put down her chopsticks.

"Are you weak?"

"Mom, why am I so weak..." Xia Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Then why are you sweating?" "Hey... cough."

Lucia's self-control was not as strong as Xia Li's. She couldn't hold back her various expressions, and she laughed out loud when she wanted to laugh.

"You used to go to the gym to exercise, why don't you go now?" Fang Xia continued to question.

"Now I have to work part-time and study every day, so where do I find the time to go?"

"Your body is more important. You have trained your body so well before. If you stop now, your body will suffer from the consequences."

"Mom, I'm fine."

Xia Li had no chance of winning the argument with Fang Xia, so he just glanced at the stinky dragon beside him.

The stinky dragon was eating a chicken leg with its mouth full of food. Its beautiful brown eyes were staring at the food in its hands. When she noticed Xia Li looking at her, she narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled like a cunning little fox.

"Click."

Xia Li didn't hold the chopsticks firmly in his hand and they fell to the ground.

He bent down to pick it up, and when he bent down he saw a silver dragon's tail beating the ground silently.

Xia Li's heart moved and he reached out his hand.

Lucia didn't pay much attention to Xia Li's actions at first. When Xia Li was speechless by Fang Xia, she just felt that she had won a great victory.

But the next second, she suddenly felt a strange touch on her tail, and Lucia felt something was wrong.

"Sweating can easily lead to catching a cold, so you can usually make more soup and add some red dates and longans into it.

Keep some peanuts at home, eat two whenever you want, peanuts should be eaten raw, fried peanuts are easy to cause internal heat... And you have so many snacks at home, these are not good for your health, eat less snacks, eat more nutritious food. "

Bringing up the topic of "poor health" seems to open up my mother's chatterbox. She always chatters on and on, never getting tired of repeating these words over and over again.

Xia Li had heard it many times, and even though his ears were callused, he would still patiently nod in response at this time.

"Mom, I know. I'll buy the things you mentioned tomorrow."

The silver dragon's tail was like a struggling little silver fish, with the tip of its tail raised and swinging back and forth.

Xia Li grabbed the dragon's tail with both hands and gently bit the softest part of the tip.

The teeth felt hard, and underneath this hardness was an extreme softness.

This feeling is like a freshly-baked roast duck, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Dragon tail would be delicious if sprinkled with chili powder and Sichuan peppercorns.

"Well……"

Attacked by the evil hero, Lucia felt something prick her nerves.

A feeling of heat came from the slightly cool dragon scales.

This warmth seemed to spread throughout her body, and Lucia's cheeks turned red instantly.

She subconsciously tried to pull out her tail, but Xia Li held her very tightly and her tail was fragile, so she tried pulling it out twice but found it didn't work.

I don’t want to play anymore.

Never play like this again!
"What are you doing?"

Seeing that Xia Li had been squatting for such a long time, Fang Xia suspected that he was dizzy due to low blood sugar. When she was looking down, Xia Li instantly let go of the struggling dragon tail in his hand.

The two of them cooperated tacitly, and the dragon's tail was quickly retracted under the girl's skirt.

Fang Xia glanced under the table and saw nothing.

"It's okay, I just dropped two grains of rice and it's hard to pick them up."

Xia Li picked up the chopsticks and answered Fang Xia's question casually, then he turned his eyes to Lucia.

“I’ve finished eating…”

Now it was Lucia's turn to get nervous. She quickly cleaned up the mess in front of her and returned to the kitchen with the empty bowl.

"Go wash the dishes." Fang Xia winked at Xia Li.

Only then did Xia Li follow with a smile on her face.

Lucia was squeezing out the detergent with a dishcloth, and then she rubbed it on the rag to make a lot of bubbles.

This dragon could not change his habit of playing with water while washing dishes, and it would take him a long time to wash the dishes every time.

Xia Li was very concerned at first, wondering if the detergent would hurt her tender and smooth little hands, but she found that she was overthinking it.

Lucia is a dragon, and a little bit of detergent has no killing power to her at all.

"You are going to die together, Xiaolonglong."

Xia Li grabbed her paw and rinsed the foam off under the faucet.

Then he put his paw into his trouser pocket, while Xia Li took the dishcloth and started washing the dishes.

"It's easy to fail if you play like this." Xia Li said in a low voice.

Lucia took her hand out of his trouser pocket and snorted, "Who told you to pick up the bitter bamboo shoots for me?"

She took a peek outside the kitchen, confirmed that no one was around, and then spoke in a low voice.

"As long as you don't say anything, Auntie won't find out..."

"Is it so exciting to play?"

Xia Li was stunned for a moment, "Let's play again later?"

"Stop playing!"

Lucia's face was rosy. She took the pot from the stove and threw it to Xia Li to wash.

This was originally done to punish Xia Li and scare him.

It seems to have become a reward...

Xia Li is totally enjoying it!!

"There are still quite a lot of spare ribs and stewed chicken left. I think they can last for two more meals. If you don't finish them tomorrow, remember to throw them away. Especially the cooked green beans. It's not good for your health if you keep them for too long."

The two were busy in the kitchen. Fang Xia brought in the remaining bowls of food and wrapped them with plastic wrap.

"Wait until it cools down before putting it in the refrigerator, otherwise the refrigerator will break down." Fang Xia said.

"Mom, I see."

"It's getting late. I'm leaving now. I won't help you clean up."

Fang Xia took off her apron and said this. Xia Li quickly shook off the water droplets on her hands and went to see her off.

"It's already late. It's too late to drive back to Miyang City. How about staying here..."

Xia Li glanced at the clock. It was exactly six o'clock in the evening.

Although it was just getting dark, Miyang City was more than two hours’ drive from Qingcheng City, and it would probably be dark halfway through the journey.

Fang Xia couldn't drive at night, and Xia Li was worried about letting her go.

"Didn't you ask Dad to pick you up?"

"What are you picking up? I'm going to your grandma's house. The day after tomorrow, Qingming Festival, I have to go to your grandpa's grave."

Fang Xia picked up her small bag and slung it over her shoulder.

When I came, my hands were filled with bags, and when I left, my hands were empty.

Xia Li always felt that it was not a good idea to send the guests off empty-handed, so he walked around the living room and took out a can of unopened cookies.

"..."

Fang Xia looked at him with an expression as if she wanted to laugh.

"For grandma." Xia Li said.

"Eat it yourself."

Fang Xia smiled and waved her hand.

Why should the family be so polite? It would be better to give her a big fat baby as soon as possible.

Seeing that she refused to take them, Xia Li had to put the biscuits down. Just as he was about to change his shoes, Fang Xia pulled him back.

"No need to send me off. Am I not more familiar with this area than you?"

"...Okay." Xia Li retracted his foot.

"Goodbye, aunt~"

Lucia stood by and waved to Fang Xia. Fang Xia pulled her arm, pinched it in her hand, and said with concern.

"Hey, you look so thin, eat more. Ask Xia Li to buy you whatever you want to eat."

"Okay Auntie..."

Lucia nodded sheepishly.

"Mom, drive slower."

"it is good."

Fang Xia stopped talking and left with a smile on her face, and the iron gate slowly closed.

Xia Li walked from the living room to the balcony and watched Ms. Fang walk out of the unit. She greeted her left and smiled right, and she would stop to chat with every neighbor who passed by.

It wasn't until she returned to the car and drove away that Xia Li withdrew his gaze with relief.

"Xia Li, what is Qingming Festival?"

Lucia tiptoed to look out. The evening spring breeze was a little cold. Xia Li pulled her into the house and closed the balcony door.

"Like the Spring Festival, it is also a traditional festival here, mainly used to commemorate ancestors."

"Ancestors..." Lucia followed slowly, blinking her eyes, "Can I celebrate this kind of festival?"

"Bah, you're living a shit life."

"In terms of age, I am several generations older than you!"

"It's no use even if you are a hundred generations older than me!"
