MTL - Little Mermaid Dressed As a Scientist-Chapter 43
The "undersea teaching activity" was so unexpectedly declared a failure, and the old turtle was even more sad than before.
The old friend continued to give him advice: "If you are really worried, you can just follow your family Xiao'an to live in the city. Anyway, you have nothing to do at the bottom of the sea. It's better to go out and see the world."
The old turtle gave him a look: "Then I'll give you my royal oarfish to watch?"
The old friend waved his hands in panic: "Then I can't watch it..."
Who doesn't know that this oarfish is the devil of the world, the overlord of the sea, and he can listen to the words of the old turtle and the little mermaid a little, and he ignores the words of others.
Since following Shen An'an to live in the city is temporarily unworkable, the old turtle began to change his mind, preparing to clear obstacles for Shen An'an and pave the way for Shen An'an's future.
The old turtle has not been out to sea for many years. The last time he went out was to test her little brother for Shen Anan. But also only went to the pier, and did not enter the city.
So he really didn't know what the outside world had become.
He deliberately called the oarfish and octopus spirits who had just been in the city to him to ask about the situation.
Both the oarfish and the octopus said in unison: "Life in the city is nothing but money, the more the better."
money?
The old turtle really doesn't have this stuff.
But he has something else!
Shen An'an just came back from picking up garbage outside, and found that the old sea turtle who had been paralyzed on the seabed for ten thousand years had actually turned into an old man with a white beard, and was busy in and out of the underwater cave.
On the ground of the cave, there are gold and silver jewels spread all over the floor.
Shen Anan stared at the human figure of the old turtle in surprise for a long time, and then asked curiously, "Grandpa Turtle, what are you doing?"
The old turtle rolled up his sleeves: "Can't you see? I'm counting our property!"
Shen An'an: "...Why do you count your property?"
Old Turtle: "Aren't you going to live in the city? I heard oarfish and octopus say that the most important thing to live in this city is to have money. We really don't have money, but we have gold and silver jewelry. So I'm going to find some time to cash in on these things so you'll be more comfortable going into town."
Shen Anan couldn't help hugging the old turtle when she heard the words: "Grandpa Turtle, you are so kind, but don't worry, I have pearls. If I am short of money, I can exchange pearls for money..."
The old turtle raised his hand and touched Shen An'an's head, and said with a loving sigh: "Silly boy, those are not pearls, those are your tears. Grandpa hopes that no matter where you live, you can live happily. Yes, it's better not to shed a single tear from now on..."
When Shen Anan listened to the words of the old turtle, she only felt a heartache.
In the world she originally lived in, she had no chance to get along with her grandparents.
Because her grandparents didn't like her father, they preferred Shen An'an's little uncle, so even Shen An'an's mother and Shen An'an didn't like her grandparents.
And when Shen Anan was very young, her uncle's family moved to other cities to live. In order to take care of her uncle's children, her grandparents bought a house and followed them with her own money.
So Shen Anan can be said to have never experienced the feeling of being loved by grandparents.
Unexpectedly, this time wearing a book, it made up for such a regret.
So much so that Shen Anan couldn't help burying her face on the old turtle's shoulder and rubbing it, and earnestly assured: "Don't worry, Grandpa Turtle, I will take good care of myself."
There are many kinds of creatures in the sea, such as old sea turtles who relocate and refuse to move, and there are people who love fun and novelty and yearn for human life.
Anyway, the old turtle knew such a kind, a sea bird essence. They do well in human society, and people are more trustworthy.
The old turtle took the time to find each other.
On the one hand, I want to ask if the sea bird spirit can accompany him to convert those gold and silver jewelry into cash; on the other hand, I also want to ask the sea bird spirit if there is anything that the creatures in the sea need to pay attention to when they live in the human world for a long time. of.
Seabirds were used to waving their wings before, and even if they turned into a human form for many years, they could not change this problem, so before speaking, they waved their hands habitually before saying: "You have come to me to find the right person, I tell you. , The creatures in this sea have to come to the human world to live for a long time. Everything else is easy to say. The most important thing is to go to the 'Marine Life Management Association' to make a registration, and then get an identity certificate. With that identity certificate, you can The human world is unimpeded. This identity certificate is very important. It can be used to buy a house, a car, and a bank card, so you must pay attention to it.”
The old turtle kept it in his heart silently, and then asked the sea bird essence: "Can this identity certificate be handled on behalf of you?"
The sea bird essence waved her wings: "That can't be done, so I have to be there myself. When will your little mermaid come? When she comes, ask her to come to me, and I'll go with her."
The old turtle quickly thanked him.
The sea bird essence asked the old turtle to bring these gold and silver jewelry back to the sea first, and then bring them over when Shen Anan came ashore.
After all, it has to be fully discounted, and it is not a small sum. With so much cash, it is definitely not good to carry it on your body, and you cannot save it in the bank. It's better to wait for the little mermaid to go ashore, go to the 'Marine Life Management Association' to do a registration and get an identity certificate before discounting. In this way, the little mermaid can save it if she wants to save it. If she really doesn't want to save it, she can buy a house for herself to settle down.
Speaking of the house, the sea bird essence couldn't help but look at the old turtle's shell with envy: "How are you, you are a house slave from birth. Unlike us, you have to work hard for many years before you can become a house slave."
Old Turtle: "…"
The old turtle was paving the way for Shen Anan, and Zhou Suiyu was not idle.
He has also been seriously considering what happened after Shen Anan went to the city recently.
The first thing to solve is of course the problem of the house.
Zhou Suiyu did not own any real estate, because he lived in school before graduation, and in research institute after graduation, so he couldn't use it at all.
But now that with the little mermaid, he can continue to sleep in the research institute himself, and the little mermaid will definitely not be able to.
So you have to choose a place with a beautiful environment, convenient transportation, and most importantly, a place with a high safety factor for the little mermaid to live in.
Before Zhou Suiyu thought about building a row of seaside glass houses for Shen An'an on the island, he even thought about what functional areas should be in the glass house.
Now the glass house is saved, but the new house must be better than the glass house, at least not worse than the glass house, right?
Zhou Suiyu didn't have much research on buying a house, but some people understood.
So after Zhou Suiyu calculated the money in his card, he went to the convex corner of the island and called Zhou's father.
When Father Zhou heard that Zhou Suiyu was going to buy a house, he immediately smiled: "Why did you suddenly think of buying a house? Didn't you say you were not interested in asking you to buy it before?"
Zhou Suiyu said ambiguous: "I just wanted to buy it all of a sudden."
If it was Zhou's mother, she would probably ask two more questions, but Zhou's father is not as gossip as Zhou's mother, and Zhou's father is in favor of boys buying some real estate, even if they don't live to invest.
So he just asked, "Then what do you want to buy?"
Zhou Suiyu reported a number to Zhou's father, and then said: "If you want a slightly more beautiful environment, it is best to be close to the water; the transportation is also a little more convenient, and the most important thing is to have a high safety factor."
Father Zhou: "There are quite a lot of requirements. Okay, I'll take care of you during this time, and I'll tell you when something is good."
Zhou Suiyu: "Thank you Dad!"
The father and son chatted for a few more business affairs, and then began to chat about private matters.
Father Zhou: "It's just over a month before the Chinese New Year. When will you come back from that island?"
Zhou Suiyu thought for a while: "I should have been able to go back almost a year ago."
Father Zhou hesitated for a while, but in the end he still asked, "Do you want to go back by yourself, or can you bring someone back this year?"
Zhou Suiyu: "...my mother asked you to ask?"
Father Zhou couldn't help laughing: "Your mother has been talking in my ear every day these days. If I hadn't stopped her, she would have gone directly to your island to block people!"
Zhou Suiyu was angry and funny: "Tell her not to worry, see you sooner or later."
Father Zhou said clearly: "It seems that such a person really exists."
Zhou Suiyu: "…"
Sure enough, gossip is a disease, and it is extremely contagious.
During dinner in the evening, Father Zhou inadvertently mentioned at the dinner table that he would buy a house next week, and Mother Zhou immediately stopped his chopsticks and asked, "Your son wants to buy a house?"
Father Zhou gave a low "um", then took a sip of the ginseng chicken soup in front of him.
"Why do you want to buy a house all of a sudden? Could it be... He's getting married?"
Zhou's father was successfully choked by the chicken soup: "cough, cough, cough... don't think about it, your son is fine for other things, but not in love. I guess, with his efficiency, you can help him. When you are 30 years old, it is fast to drink daughter-in-law tea."
Mother Zhou wanted to sigh when she heard it: "Who said no!"
The atmosphere at the dinner table was silent for a moment, and Mother Zhou suddenly lit up: "Hey, didn't your son want to buy a house? What do you think of the villa next to us?"
Father Zhou: "... Next to it?"
Mother Zhou said excitedly: "Yes, it's the next door next door to us. That Mrs. Jiang, their family is going to immigrate recently. Not long ago, they asked me if any friends around me wanted to buy a house. Our area has no environmental location. Said, the house is also beautiful, anyway, I have lived here for so long, I don't think there is any disadvantage."
Father Zhou hesitated for a moment: "But your son said that he wants the house to be close to the water, and he also said that he wants the transportation to be a little easier."
Mother Zhou said calmly: "Linshui? It's not easy, just find someone to dig an artificial lake behind the villa for him? It's even easier to get around. Are there so many cars in the garage at home?"
Father Zhou: "…"
The more Zhou's mother thought about it, the more she felt that this plan was feasible: "Look, your son is so busy with work on weekdays that if he lives far away, he may not see many people throughout the year. If he lives closer, he will be able to go home more often in the future. ?"
Father Zhou saw through her wishful thinking at a glance: "Don't you just want to buy the house closer, so that you can easily see your daughter-in-law?"
Mother Zhou smiled, but did not deny it.
Father Zhou: "But don't worry, your son will not agree."
Mother Zhou was taken aback: "...why?"
Father Zhou: "Because the first rule of husband and wife is to stay away from mother-in-law, especially the kind of mother-in-law who is very gossipy."
Mother Zhou: "...?" I felt offended.
