Originally according to Julian Mei's plan, even if his father was unwilling to give money, as long as he praised the man a few times, and with his love for football, he could always trick him into buying lottery tickets.
Now that his father has lost his usefulness and his mother Xiang Xiaoxia is adamant and will never allow anyone in the family to develop the habit of gambling, Julian Mei can only find other ways.
Of course, he did have a backup plan.
Julian Mei found out Lucas Xia's home address from her father, and shouted that she was going downstairs to play with Lucas Xia.
Although Julian Mei and Lucas Xia live in the same community, the house types of the two families are completely different - Julian Mei's house is a more common one, while Lucas Xia's house is a two-story building with a separate entrance and courtyard, and the specifications are a bit like a Japanese single-family house.
Julian Mei stood at the gate and heard melodious piano sounds coming from inside the house from outside.
In this era, families who can afford a piano ---
She looks like a young lady?
Julian Mei stood on tiptoe and pressed the doorbell of Lucas Xia's house. After a while, a gentle adult female voice came from the other end of the doorbell.
"Hello, who are you looking for? Hey, why is there no one here..."
...Is it Lucas Xia’s mother?
Julian Mei waved frantically towards Lucas Xia's video phone.
"Hello, Auntie! I'm Julian Mei, Lucas Xia's classmate in kindergarten, and I also live in this neighborhood."
"Julian Mei... I often hear Yuan Yuan mention you. Are you here to play with her?"
"May I?"
Julian Mei tried to sound innocent, "Lucas Xia and I have an appointment to go to the children's playground in the community today."
"Yuanyuan's piano lesson is almost over. Would you like to come in and wait for a while? I'll open the door for you."
"good!"
As soon as Julian Mei finished speaking, the gate of the yard slowly opened automatically. Julian Mei walked a few steps forward along the road, and Lucas Xia's mother opened the door to greet her and said hello to Julian Mei gently.
Lucas Xia's mother exudes the temperament of an intellectual lady, with her long, smooth hair pasted to one side and a pair of clear eyes with elegant makeup that are particularly refreshing, like the warm sunshine in spring.
"Ah, hello, auntie!"
Julian Mei seemed a little embarrassed because she didn't expect Lucas Xia's mother to be such a beautiful lady.
But I always feel like I've seen her somewhere...
"What a polite child! Come in and sit down!"
Julian Mei followed Lucas Xia's mother to the living room, and could hear the sound of the piano upstairs at home. The melodious piano sound was soft and pleasant to the ears, with a romantic melody as gentle as flowing water, making people unconsciously indulge in the happy atmosphere.
Seeing Julian Mei was fascinated by the song, Lucas Xia's mother couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do you like this song?"
Because of her work in her previous life, Julian Mei has some knowledge of music. "If I remember correctly, the song I'm playing now should be Mendelssohn's "Spring Song."
"That's amazing. It's rare to find a boy who likes music... No wonder Yuanyuan always talks to me about you. You watch TV first. Auntie will go get you a glass of juice."
"Thank you, Auntie."
The decoration of Lucas Xia's living room is quite stylish, which hints at the affluence of Lucas Xia's family. Fortunately, there are not many aristocratic schools in a small county like Baimei County, otherwise he probably would not have the chance to go to kindergarten with Lucas Xia.
While waiting for Lucas Xia to finish her piano lesson, Julian Mei chatted with Lucas Xia's mother for a while. It was obvious that Lucas Xia's mother had a strong interest in Julian Mei, and Julian Mei was also very happy.
It seems that my decent conversation and mature demeanor have won the favor of this aunt.
When the piano music gradually stopped, hurried footsteps were heard on the stairs.
"Yuanyuan, your friends are waiting to hang out with you."
"Huh? Julian Mei, why are you here?" Lucas Xia tilted his head in confusion.
"I came to play with you!" Julian Mei reminded, "Didn't I tell you after school..."
"Oh... I almost forgot. I have piano lessons today. I'm so sorry."
Lucas Xia said as she looked at her mother, "Mom, can I go to the children's playground with Julian Mei? We won't run around everywhere."
"Sure, but remember not to talk to strangers."
"Uh-huh!"
Lucas Xia took her bag and dragged Julian Mei out of the house, "Let's go play!"
"Remember to change your shoes, kid... Why do you get so nervous when it comes to going out to play?"
Because it was the first time for Lucas Xia to play with other children outside the kindergarten, she seemed very happy and even hummed nursery rhymes unconsciously.
"By the way, Lucas Xia, what did you tell your mother about me?" Julian Mei pretended to be calm, "I'm a little... a little curious."
This little girl likes me so much, she must have said something shameful in front of her mother like she would be my bride in the future, otherwise her mother wouldn't be so interested in me. It's obviously the tone of a mother-in-law examining her son-in-law!
"Let me think about it. I told you...about wetting the bed, about washing your B*tt naked in front of everyone, and..."
Julian Mei blushed and immediately rebuked Lucas Xia, "You can't just talk about these things! Do you have a brain?"
"I, I was just telling my mother!" Lucas Xia looked aggrieved, "Why are you so fierce... and you're even cursing at me."
"Aa ...
Now Julian Mei really wanted to find a hole to crawl into, "When you talk about me to your mother in the future, can you talk more about my handsome side?"
"Well, I told mom about your great math skills today."
"You really tell mom everything..."
"My mother said that when you encounter happy or unhappy things, you can share them with people around you, and this way you will gain more happiness."
"But even so, we should have our own little secrets."
Julian Mei smiled and stared at the pink bag on Lucas Xia's waist, "For example, a little secret that only you and I know..."
"Only me and you know..."
Lucas Xia was a little excited, "What's the secret?"
Julian Mei said, "Lend me 10 yuan first, and I will share this secret with you."
"Okay, but you have to remember to return it to me."
"Of course." Julian Mei patted his chest, "My father taught me since I was a child that I should keep my word and never owe money and not pay it back."
Lucas Xia usually carries a pink bag with her when she goes out. Ever since she found out that the bag contained a lot of pocket money, Julian Mei has been keeping an eye on it.
Lucas Xia rummaged through her small wallet and handed a 10-yuan bill to Julian Mei.
"Here you go, can you share your little secret with me?"
"Don't worry, just follow me this way."
Julian Mei pulled Lucas Xia towards the gate of the community, which made Lucas Xia a little scared.
"Aren't we going to play on the slide in the children's park?"
"What's so fun there? We're going to be elementary school students soon. Shouldn't we go somewhere more exciting for adventure?"
"But... I promised my mom that I wouldn't run around..." Lucas Xia lowered his head and twirled his fingers.
"If you don't tell your mother, and I don't tell your mother, then your mother won't know, right?"
Julian Mei came close to Lucas Xia and continued to persuade her, "This will become a little secret that only we know. Only the two of us know it, okay?"
A little secret... A little secret...
Just like the nursery rhyme goes.
