Chapter 4: Unscrupulous father, prepared gift
Shuangye Town Mayor's House
This is a small courtyard of a Japanese-style building located in the center of the town, with gray walls, wooden corridors, huge floor-to-ceiling windows connected to the floor, and several cherry trees and other green plants in the yard.
There is a cobblestone path from the front door to the house. Every corner of the yard is full of the poetry of life, showing the exquisiteness of the hostess and making people feel the beauty and tranquility of life.
"Roentgen cat, you are here too..."
Xiaoyun walked into the yard and waved hello to the big blue lion lying at the door.
The Roentgen cat, also known as the thunder lion, has a blue face, hind legs, torso and back of the front legs, while most of its body is covered with fluffy black fur, forming a mane on the head. The tail is long and thin with a yellow four-pointed star at the end.
"roar~"
The Roentgen cat also raised its lion head and nodded at Xiaoyun, then continued to lie at the door and bask in the sun leisurely.
"Mom, I'm back." Xiaoyun shouted to the house before entering the house.
At this time, Lina was tidying up the living room. When she saw it was her own child, she said unhappily.
"Where have you gone to play again? Your dad has been looking for you for a long time but couldn't find you. If Xiao Guang hadn't just happened to tell you that she knew where you were, your dad would have asked Mukeying to look for you."
Although Lina said this, she still walked towards Xiaoyun who was changing shoes, and wiped the sweat from Xiaoyun's forehead with a towel.
"Ah? What's the hurry? You've even used the Mk Eagle. Is our family bankrupt?"
Xiaoyun stood there with Lina wiping her face. Looking at her, it seemed that time had not left any trace on her face. Her elegant temperament and unchanging gentle smile seemed to be able to heal all fatigue and sorrow.
"Pah, pah, pah, how dare you say that about your own family, kid?"
Lina subconsciously punched Xiaoyun's chest lightly. Her elegant temperament was almost destroyed by Xiaoyun's filial words. After calming down, she said.
"Could it be that my dad, the mayor, was fired? I've already said that my dad will be suspended from his position by the Alliance prosecutor sooner or later if he looks like that."
Xiaoyun then thought of another possibility, and put his right fist on the palm of his left hand to express affirmation.
"No, what's going on? I'm afraid we can't keep this child. Why are you hoping for the family to go bankrupt every day?"
"Huh, don't be angry, don't be angry. He's my biological son. He took me more than ten hours to give birth to him."
This time, Lina almost couldn't maintain her gentle smile.
"This time it's a good thing. Your father is going to give you a gift. He said he asked someone to do it for a long time before sending it to you."
As expected of a former coordination trainer, her expression management was still very good. In just a few seconds, Lina recovered her usual temperament, as if she had not heard her son's filial words just now, and had never thought in her heart that she almost threw him out.
" ??, gift?( 'w' )? ?"
Xiaoyun first thought about whether she had asked her father for any gift recently.
emmm....is there?
"What's with that expression on your face? Why do you look so confused?"
Lina said, looking at her silly son.
"But I haven't mentioned any gifts to my dad recently. Instead, he's always thinking about me taking the Roentgen cat to patrol the town for him."
As Xiaoyun spoke, he recalled how his father looked weak and pitiful in front of him.
The scene changes to Xiaoyun’s memory.
"Xiaoyun, your father is suffering."
"It's not easy to be the mayor of my father's town. Not only does he have to run back and forth every day for the future development of the town, but he also has to inspect the safety of the entire town every day. Look at how thin M'King has become."
In the mayor's office, a certain unscrupulous mayor was sitting at his desk, talking nonsense and shamelessly exploiting his son, who had just turned 10 years old.
"Forehead....."
"Muk-Ying has lost a lot of weight? Are you sure?"
Xiaoyun first looked out the window with a strange look on his face, then waved and greeted the muscular and sharp-eyed M'K'Eagle who had just passed by while patrolling the sky.
"Muke~"
When Mke Eagle saw that it was Xiaoyun, he smiled and waved his wings. Then, flapping his strong wings, his body flew to the back mountain like a stream of light.
"Of course, look at how thin M'K's eagle is now. When it followed me to challenge the alliance, it was huge and as stable as a rock. It often relied on its absolute weight to win. I don't know how many powerful opponents I have defeated with that move of "Mountain Pressing Down the Head". The unscrupulous mayor was still talking incessantly, and he was probably almost believing his lies.
"Forehead........"
Let’s not talk about whether the Mk Eagle will be overwhelmed.
I roughly imagined in my mind a huge M'Ker eagle falling from the sky, and then defeating its opponent with its mighty might.
Wow, this picture is so beautiful. And dad, are you sure this is not a flying pressure?
This is the mayor after all. His language skills are really good. If he hadn't been raised by Mukeying, he would have been fooled by his father.
"How about, Xiaoyun, you help your poor father a little."
"Oh well."
In fact, Xiaoyun really didn't want to help, mainly because his father, a middle-aged man, looked at him with pitiful eyes.
Who can stand this!
Forget it, forget it. After all, this guy is his father. He can just beat the child on a rainy day if he has nothing to do.
"Good son! I knew you would never watch your dad working here alone. Dad has high hopes for you." The unscrupulous mayor in front of him said with relief when he saw that his son agreed.
"I can help you, but let's make it clear in advance. I still need to go to school, so I can't help you until after 3pm. And don't give me too much work."
Xiaoyun turned his head away from his father's smug smile and spread his hands with some helplessness.
"Of course, no problem. Just agree to it. It's nothing special. Just take the Roentgen cat to patrol the town. If you have nothing to do, go to the back mountain to see if there are any hidden dangers or anything."
After hearing this, the unscrupulous mayor casually lay down on the chair and said slowly. This capitalist style made it seem as if Xiaoyun himself had asked for the job.
"Are you okay? If you are, I'll leave first." Looking at his unscrupulous father's naughty look, Xiao Yun couldn't stay any longer.
Now he just wants to go to Xiaoguang's house or visit his mother's breeding house to see if there are any new Pokémons or something.
"Well, don't be angry." The unscrupulous mayor stood up from his desk, walked over, put his arms around his neck and said with a smile.
"How about this, this job won't be in vain. After it's over, Dad will give you a gift. I promise it will be a surprise for you. How about that?"
The unscrupulous mayor decided to give the little guy some motivation after discovering that Xiaoyun had no reaction.
"Yeah, okay, thank you dear dad, I'm really looking forward to your gift, then I'll be leaving first."
Xiaoyun didn't take the matter seriously at all, because he felt that his father was unreliable and couldn't give him a gift that could surprise him. He left the office after saying something nonchalant.
"You little brat, you act like an old man at such a young age, you're not cute at all."
"But I hope you can still keep a serious look when this gift arrives. I asked Professor Odamaki of Hoenn to get this one for you, hehehe."
Hanyu Kiyon let out a strange laugh, imagining that when his usually serious son saw the gift, his calm face (commonly known as the dead fish face) would reveal an expression of surprise.
Well, I'm really looking forward to it.
