By the way, the toothbrush is very soft and there is no bleeding or discomfort during brushing.

"What will you have for breakfast this morning?" Mr. Heyman narrowed his eyes in anticipation.

"I'm going to help. Please taste my craftsmanship."

"Xiao Xidi can cook? Oh, that's right. It's really hard for you to be outside alone."

"No trouble, it's just a hobby."

Xi Di wiped her face, rolled up her sleeves and walked into the kitchen.

After a while, Mrs. Elinor took off her apron and came out with a shocked expression.

Heyman smelled the taste and honestly judged that it tasted better than his wife's cooking. He also said a few words: "Xidi is so sensible. I just said that you were tired from cooking last night and wanted to make breakfast." Woolen cloth."

"Hmm..." Elinor was in a daze because her status as a housewife's cooking skills was impacted, and she responded twice, "His cooking skills are very good, and he uses magic."

For magicians, it is normal that magic is a part of life, but few people study how to use magic to assist cooking. Most of them did not expect it, and the rest cannot do it.

Eleanor felt that she had a new idea.

Mr. Heyman was very discerning and pretended to organize his briefcase. Unfortunately, it was raining today and there was no newspaper, otherwise it would have been more natural.

"Go to the kitchen and take a look. Such a big person is worse than a child." Eleanor glared at her husband and turned around, "I'm going to call Serena."

"Okay," Heiman said obediently and stood up immediately, "I'll go help taste it!"

……

"It's ugly."

Xidi placed the last plate of poached eggs on the table.

Serena walked over after washing up and said "Wow" to the breakfast that was mostly on the table.

"Brother, have you learned how to cook?"

"Yeah, because sometimes I eat something I don't like."

A mature child is not picky because he only buys the dishes he likes.

"Xiao Xidi's craftsmanship is so good." Mr. Heyman saw Xidi sitting down and couldn't wait to raise his fork.

"No, it's just simple processing."

Bread, sausage or bacon are all semi-finished products. This does not mean that skills are not needed. Just like convenience foods, those with skill can still make them well.

Eleanor nodded along, silently making a note in her mind that "good at cooking" was a bonus.

If you learn too much magic, you will lose your humanity. Like her husband, in the early years, he would hold the magic book and read it as soon as he got off work. He could count all the words he said in a day with ten fingers. Estelle still remembered the clumsy look when she was born. It started to get better gradually.

No parent wants their child's partner to be a stone.

What the child thinks is another matter.

"Selena's class will be in class until noon, and she will be free in the afternoon. It's a pity the weather...otherwise you can still go out together." Eleanor suggested.

Xidi nodded, "Actually, it's good to stay at home. With your family, it doesn't matter where you are."

Mr. Heiman, a senior social worker, has a deep understanding, "Well, it is indeed most comfortable to lie at home during vacation."

"What are you telling the child, you grown-up?" Elinor pinched her husband, turned to Hidi and softened her tone, "How about we stay at home? When we pick up Serena at noon, let's go look at the ingredients together, right?"

When a housewife invites you to buy groceries, it means that she really values ​​you.

"it is good."

At this time, Uncle Heyman glanced at his watch and hurriedly stuffed the bacon into his mouth, "Sorry, I have to go. Yesterday's work piled up and I need to deal with it as soon as possible."

"Wait a minute, uncle," Hiidi raised her wand, and the food box and thermos cup in the kitchen flew out, "Your lunch, bacon sandwich and coffee."

He looked at the lunch box brought back by his uncle yesterday and confirmed from Serena that Hyman had the habit of eating lunch in the store.

"Thank you, Xiao Xidi!"

It's an unexpected surprise. The rice just tasted very good. Compared with my wife... well, occasionally adding fresh flavors is the secret to keeping love for a long time.

"I wasn't even prepared," Elinor was a little surprised at Hidi's attentiveness, "I originally wanted you to come back at noon..."

"One sandwich won't fill my stomach! I'll definitely be back at noon!"

Mr. Hyman said, grabbing his wand and umbrella and heading out.

I hope he will be prepared for the life after Hidi leaves, where he will eat two cold breads every meal instead of one loaf of bread.

Chapter 14:Trivia

Eleanor and Serena, who were distracted by the food, did not notice that Hidi poured more than ten tablespoons of sugar into her cup. They were too immersed in the novelty to care about anything else.

In this era, the pace of work and school is very slow. If it hadn't been for fishing yesterday, Mr. Heyman would have been able to sit still for a while after finishing his lunch leisurely.

Serena's courses were not heavy either, and she went to a general school.

She doesn't have any magical talent, not at all, but it's not worth cultivating at an early age. When she gets a little older, she might be able to barely learn magic like riding a broomstick.

Her grandfather Rachel also has part of the monster bloodline, and is also not good at magic. However, his physical strength is higher than that of ordinary people. A simple inference is that he and Xi Di are two different species.

So far, Serena has only expressed a small regret about not being able to do magic, and last year she rejected Cidi's suggestion to study together.

Children don't know many things. Serena only knows that her brother is a genius as good as Estelle. If they learn magic together, her talent will only keep holding her back. It's better to learn something else. Maybe I can help my brother.

……

Serena got out from under Xi Di's robe, jumped off the broom and gave Xi Di a sweet smile.

"Goodbye brother!"

"See you at noon."

The blue-haired little girl quickly rushed into the building and greeted some of her peers. Several children pointed at Xi Di and said something, looking very envious. Serena just said He responded with a flat smile.

They look no different from ordinary children.

Xi Di stayed for a while, and the broom drew a beautiful arc and flew near the bell tower.

……

The courses at ordinary colleges usually only last a few hours in the morning, and there are not many homework assignments. There are usually only four days of classes a week. These days, children also have to help with household chores.

The king only subsidized it for three years. After learning, you can probably do simple arithmetic and recognize most words. For further study, you have to hire a tutor or pay very expensive tuition to go to a private academy. According to Xidi, there will also be teachers there. Etiquette, horsemanship, art appreciation, swordsmanship and all kinds of things.

Serena is a very smart child. In her past letters, she mentioned that what she is taught now is very boring. This was also mentioned in last night's night talk. Hidi began to consider whether to send her to a private college.

Well... let's give it a few years, she is only nine years old this year.

It seems that Aunt Eleanor and Uncle Hyman are still going to be troubled.

Thinking about these things, Xi Di slowly floated to the street.

Grandpa's will left him some properties, which until now have been left to Grandpa Rachel's old guys to take care of. After grandpa passed away, some of the old guys left, some were taken over by two prodigal sons, and finally the remaining Seven or eight shops and two houses.

Nowadays, the inheritance is divided, and the purchase of magic books, magic materials, etc. over the years has almost been consumed - well, sugar and desserts also account for a considerable proportion.

It can be said that those books are piled up with gold coins of equal weight, and the magic path is a bottomless pit.

By the way, what is worse than spending money is that you will find out later that someone has already invested money in the same field, and there will be people who will continue to invest in the future. There are not many witches in the world, and there are many who follow the exact same path.

He was about to go on a long trip, and Xi Di was going to get rid of the things that couldn't be taken away. After all, even if he left this time and settled directly in Celestilia, it would take a month to exchange a letter, and gold coins and so on. The cost of sending it is also very high, and if you leave it untouched, it will be easily spotted.

He is only ten years old now and has little interest in anything other than magic, so he might as well get rid of it.

It's not good to keep bothering those old people. It's better to just leave and share more settlement expenses. If there are some who insist on not leaving, it doesn't hurt to keep them.

After calculation, if all the money is discounted, it is enough for a family of three to live richly for most of their lives. But for Xidi, joining the magic path is just a waste, and she doesn't know whether she can live to adulthood.

He has a deep understanding of how fast magic burns money and cannot guarantee it.

……

The rain is falling, and the leaves on the roadside are falling continuously. It is almost the end of autumn, and it feels like even people have to spend time together.

There was a heavy bag of gold coins hanging on the broom. Without the help of magic, the deerskin bag would probably burst open.

Xidi's expression was quite pleased.

The old friends who once accompanied Grandpa Rachel all over the world are now in their 50s and 30s. In this era when ordinary people become grandfathers in their early [-]s, it is already an age where it is not surprising to be buried.

They all have their own lives, and it’s almost time to take a break at this age. When I heard Xi Di say that he wanted to sell the shop, I was just happy that he could live a normal life now. She held his hand and talked about many things in the past. .

Those words have been in my heart for a long time, and finally they have found a suitable listener. They have memories of the past, blessings for the future, and sighs that Rachel has no successor.

Grandpa's "good boy" really spreads all the friendship.

In those shops where old people were present, Xidi didn't even check the accounts. She only talked about family matters, and handed over land deed documents and other things to them for resale.

Negotiating the price, drafting the documents, and signing the government documents take almost a week. The shops in the Rostlov Center do not have to worry about selling, even in the rainy season.

If it weren't for Xi Di not being an adult yet, it would probably be faster.

Finally, there are two properties here. The larger one has been put up for sale. The smaller one was Grandpa Rachel's residence and will not be sold.

Even after Xidi left, she was always asked to find someone to clean it. There was nothing valuable inside, and some clothes and small furniture were also taken away by thieves who broke into the empty door.

But it's fine as long as it exists.

Scattered, part of the money received will be given to the elderly who took care of him a lot, and part will be entrusted to Aunt Eleanor. After deducting the alimony, the money will be transferred to Serena's name when she becomes an adult.

——This is out of prudent judgment. You cannot ignore risks when going out, even if you are a magician.Even if he couldn't come back due to an accident, the Hymans were trustworthy. It was his intuition.

The last part is his. Considering the cost of learning magic, solving the problem of curses, and the parts that cannot be moved in emergencies, it is probably enough for him to live a normal life.

Hope nothing unexpected happens.

……

After communicating with the old people, it was almost noon and the rain had eased a lot.

After Hidi knocked on the door, the door clicked open, and Aunt Elinor ran over, holding the wand in her wet hands. It seemed that she had just been doing laundry.

Xidi put down the broom and picked up the bag with one hand... He couldn't carry it, so he had to use both hands.

Eleanor wiped her hands and walked over to help. At this moment, she felt that Hidi was like a child, "Let Auntie do it."

"A little heavy."

"Auntie is an adult, it doesn't matter!"

Eleanor took the bag casually, thinking that after all, a child's physical strength...eh?

——When I started, I felt an indescribable falling feeling, like a bag full of iron blocks.

"Whoa-"

Heavy money bags fell to the ground, and shiny and dull gold coins exploded like waterfalls of water.

……

Chapter 15:Ingredients

Silence for a while.

Xidi doesn't know what high emotional intelligence is, but she knows what to do at this time.

He waved his wand hastily, pushed the gold coins aside, and looked at Elinor with concern: "Auntie, are you not hurt?"

The gold content of the gold coin was worrying, but at least it was made of metal. My fingers and toes felt so sensitive that it would cause tears if I accidentally touched the corner of the table.

"Ah, it's okay," Eleanor coughed twice in embarrassment, "it's all gone, it didn't hit my feet."

In fact, it hurts a bit, but the dignity of an adult cannot say no at this time.

It was the pain that dissipated the shock of seeing so many gold coins for the first time, and she did not show a dumbfounded expression.

The entrance hall was covered with gold coins at her feet. At a glance, there were at least thousands of them. Frankly speaking, she had never seen so many gold coins piled up in her life. She had experienced a lot today.

"Why does Xiao Xidi get so much money?"

Elena quickly gathered the gold coins and put them back into the bag.

After the surprise, she quickly regained her composure. For a family like hers, where both parents are magicians, the money is probably two or three years of savings. However, magicians generally do not have the habit of saving gold coins. They mostly buy land, shops, or It is replaced by a magic material that has a relatively high value.

"Some of the property and unused things left at home are planned to be disposed of before the trip," Hidi said bluntly. "In addition, I want to ask Aunt Eleanor for some things. Part of the property will wait until Serena comes of age... …”
