Chapter 968: The Father's Nagging for the Son
Qianli talked a lot, and it was the first time Heath saw Qianli like this. After all, in Heath's impression, Qianli was a very serious person, and he was silent most of the time. But he didn't expect that Qianli could say so many words now. Even Xiaoyao next to him was a little confused by what Qianli said, while Mitsuko next to him looked at her husband with a smile. Her husband was good in everything except that he was too career-oriented, to the extent that he didn't care enough about his children. This was not good. Now, Qianli seemed to want to finish what he had said during this period. He talked for more than an hour, and Heath poured him two glasses of water.
Otherwise, Heath was really worried that Qianli would faint from thirst, and Qianli drank the two large glasses of water in one breath, which amazed Heath. He had seen many buffaloes that drank water very voraciously, and Qianli obviously had such potential, or maybe men generally drink water more voraciously?
Anyway, Qianli talked for a long time before he finished speaking. Then he pulled Heath aside and talked for a while, while Mitsuko also comforted Xiaoyao. Then Qianli and Mitsuko left, looking back every few steps, which made Heath laugh and cry.
"Fortunately, this is the technological age, and people can do things much more conveniently. Otherwise, I think your father Qianli would definitely talk to you for a while." Heath looked at Xiaoyao with red eyes in front of him and smiled. Although Xiaoyao had to follow him to the Kanto region, this was not a big problem. After all, there were telephones and computers in this world, so there would be no problem in keeping in touch. At most, she would not be able to go home for a while.
In previous lives, many children experienced their first experience of being away from home for a long time when they were in college. Of course, if it was a boarding school, they might have experienced it in junior high or high school, but if they were not going to be home for a long time, they would have to start working. And if they wanted to live without relying on their parents for support, they would also have to start working.
"Dad rarely nags like this." Xiaoyao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and then smiled. Heath looked at Xiaoyao gently. For a child under ten years old, leaving home and embarking on a journey was not an easy thing, not to mention that this journey was destined to be difficult. After all, there were too many things to do and too much work to do. Moreover, Xiaoyao also had to learn cooking, which made Xiaoyao's pressure even greater.
But that was all for the future. Although Heath didn't know if Xiaoyao could hold on, at least now Heath needed to solve Xiaoyao's accommodation problem. He couldn't let Xiaoyao sleep on the floor, right? Qianli would probably have an opinion if that happened. Qianli had just handed him a bank card with 500,000 Alliance coins in it, saying that all of Xiaoyao's expenses during this period could be deducted from it. Then he gave Heath a bank card with 500,000 coins in it, saying that it was for Heath's apprenticeship fee. Heath didn't take it. He didn't care about money now. However, Heath accepted Xiaoyao's living expenses, otherwise Xiaoyao might feel embarrassed.
Young people are generally thin-skinned, and Heath himself is well aware of this.
"Come on, let me see your room, and then you can think about buying something." Seath took Xiaoyao into the lounge. At this time, under the advertisement of Farfetch'd, Seath's Pokémon all knew Xiaoyao's identity. But even so, Xiaoyao still got the attention of all the Pokémon as soon as she entered. Among them, Mew was the most conspicuous one. Xiaoyao was stunned when she saw Mew. Although she was a child from the Hoenn region, the legend of Mew was also circulated in the Hoenn region.
"Oh my God! Dreamy!" Xiaoyao let out a sharp cry. Heath's mouth twitched. He suddenly felt that Xiaoyao could try to be a soprano singer. She must have great potential. Snorlax also cast a curious look at her. It was the first time he saw a human female with such a high voice. He wondered if she could sing the magic flute.
"Don't be too excited." Heath held back Xiaoyao who was about to pounce excitedly, while Menghuan looked very proud. It was obvious that Menghuan was very proud of being so popular. The only problem was that although Menghuan knew Xiaoyao's identity, when Heath looked at Xiaoyao, he could feel Menghuan's inner wariness towards Xiaoyao.
Heath was not in a hurry either. Mew was a very vigilant Pokémon, otherwise it would have been captured by humans long ago.
He took Xiaoyao to see her room. Xiaoyao was quite satisfied it. There was a window, good lighting and a large room. The only problem was that everything in it had to be bought with the bed. But this was a good thing. At least Xiaoyao could decorate her room according to her own ideas. So Heath took Xiaoyao to a home furnishing mall, where Xiaoyao chose for a long time and finally spent a little over 100,000 to buy the furniture she needed.
It seems like a lot, and it is indeed a lot, but the brands that Xiaoyao bought are there, so the price will naturally not be too low. Fortunately, Qianli still has some savings, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to afford it. After letting Guaili move, Xiaoyao was able to move into Heath's dining car smoothly.
"There is a bathroom in your room, and it has been renovated." Heath reminded Xiaoyao. Although Heath and his Pokémon both washed and brushed their teeth outside, Xiaoyao was a girl after all, and Heath paid more attention to this point. Therefore, he specially used the restaurant's renovation authority to build a bathroom for Xiaoyao, so that it would be much more convenient for Xiaoyao to take a bath.
"Thank you, Master!" Xiaoyao smiled happily. Such a life is simply great!
Seeing Xiaoyao's happy expression, Heath had a strange smile on his face. This child was laughing so happily, this was not good, it seemed that he had to find a way to add some burden to Xiaoyao and let Xiaoyao experience the cruelty of life and the hard work of a chef.
"It's getting late now and we're closed. Let's practice some basic skills." Heath said calmly. Xiaoyao nodded immediately. It would be best to start learning cooking early so that she can become a master earlier .
Heath looked at Xiaoyao's confident look, and the smile on his face became more sincere. He clapped his hands and called Farfetch'd in.
"Fish Onion, you come teach Xiaoyao the basic skills of flipping the pot. Let's start with three sets a day, each set lasting ten minutes."
