Chapter 27

When Li Xia was a child, everyone said that this name is unlucky. If you say that you are a good little girl, what is your name? Li Xia, even if you are called Li Qiu.It's just that Li Xia's parents don't think it's a big deal. There's nothing wrong with her surname Li and her child's name Xia. Xia is so kind and passionate.

But I don't know if this is a superstition, or something else, Li Xia's fate is indeed a bit tragic compared to ordinary children.

Li Xia's parents were originally scientific researchers in the country. Although they don't have as many assets as those rich people, compared to ordinary families, it is indeed a decent job.What's more, Li Xia's parents are still college alumni, and the result of ten years of long-distance love running is the final result. They are simply the gods and couples in everyone's eyes.The two have been in love since college, studied the same major, and finally took the postgraduate entrance examination together, studied for a Ph.D. together, and worked together. At work, they are the best partners, and in life, they are the most loving couple.The job is stable and the income is high, and both of them are high-level intellectuals. Li Xia has received a good education since he was a child, and has a higher IQ than ordinary children.

But this matter changed when Li Xia was ten years old.

That year, Li Xia's parents were conducting a scientific research experiment. It happened that Li Xia's parents were conducting a scientific research experiment with Lin Chong, an alumnus from college, and Lin Chong's wife, Fang Fang.Originally, this matter was very good and went very smoothly, but it happened that there was a new intern that year, so I followed Li Xia's parents as an intern, so I took part in this experiment by the way.At that time, Lin Chong and his wife brought their apprentices outside, and Li Xia's parents brought their apprentices inside to conduct experiments.I don't know what was added, but a big explosion suddenly occurred in the experiment that was originally very safe. When Lin Chong and his wife woke up, they found out that Li Xia's parents and their intern apprentice died in the explosion.

The cause of the explosion is still under investigation, but the reason that can be thought of so far may be that the intern added the wrong reagent, which caused a big explosion.

Lin Chong and his wife looked at the only remaining child of Li Xia and his wife, Li Xia.

At that time, Lin Chong and his wife had been married for many years without giving birth to a child, so they adopted Li Xia smoothly.

Li Xia originally thought that living in her own home is a bit different from living in someone else's home, but it's not too different. After all, the couple in the forest farm knew each other and were very close. , Lin Chong and his wife often come to their home, and their parents often go to Lin Chong and his wife's house when they are not at home. They are already very familiar with each other.

But when Li Xia arrived at Lin Chong's house, he realized that it was actually different.

Lin Chong and Li Xia's parents are different from Li Xia's parents. Lin Chong and his wife are scientific madmen.How crazy is it?Probably, if there is a little place to rest in the laboratory, there is no need to go home.If the lab has a little food, they don't have to go out.If the laboratory allows toilets, then they can not leave the laboratory a step.

So when Li Xia went to Lin Chong and his wife's house, most of the time, he lived with Lin Chong's mother, Mrs. Lin.

Mrs. Lin was not yet old at that time, and her body was still in good shape. She usually did all the housework and chores, and she only needed to go to school.

That would have been nice too.Li Xia thought so, he only needs to go to school, and he doesn't have to do anything else, it's the same as before, except that he doesn't have parents.

But later, Li Xia discovered that it was really different.Li Xia was only ten years old at that time. It turned out that when they were at home, their parents were sometimes busy and had no time to take care of Li Xia, so they hired a nanny for Li Xia, who was responsible for Li Xia's eating, drinking, picking up and dropping off at school.At that time, although Li Xia's nanny had some "little tricks", such as stealing food and taking things indiscriminately, they were all small things.For example, when Li Xia's parents bought the fish, when Li Xia ate it, there were only fish heads and fish tails left. For example, when Li Xia's parents bought the dried fruit, Li Xia opened a can, and soon it was gone.But Li Xia thinks it doesn't matter, anyway, he eats less, not to mention that he treats the nanny as his own, and if someone is with him, eating something is nothing, at least compared to other people's nanny stealing things and luring wolves into the house, My own nanny is pretty good.

But Mrs. Lin is different.

From Li Xia's point of view, Mrs. Lin is like a Sichuan opera that changes faces, changing every now and then.For example, when Lin Chong and his wife were here, Li Xia enjoyed the treatment of VIPs.They eat chicken, duck and fish, drink milk and juice, and wear Adidas Nikes. They don't need to wash their clothes, clean their dishes, do housework, or eat three meals a day.It is simply the standard of a rich lady.But when Lin Chong and his wife were away, the old lady Lin began to ignore her answers.

For example, Li Xia goes to school earlier, but Li Xia is used to eating breakfast, so Li Xia will go downstairs to buy buns.But Mrs. Lin can't understand this, she thinks that Li Xia, a child from someone else's family, lives in her own house, and buys buns every day, from a little girl's house, why is she so greedy?Can't make breakfast by yourself?For this, Li Xia felt very wronged, because Li Xia's parents left her an inheritance and a lot of cash, plus Li Xia's parents' accident compensation, accident insurance, etc., Li Xia is simply a little rich woman, Li Xia Xia spent her parents' money to buy food for herself, so she didn't understand what Old Madam Lin had to say.

For another example, Li Xia's parents are both southerners, so Li Xia has always lived a southern life.It's like taking a bath, even in the winter, Li Xia's family has to take a bath every day, if they don't take a bath, Li Xia can't sleep.But Lin Chong's family is a native of the Northeast, not to mention taking a bath every day. If they don't go out in winter, they may take a bath once every half a month, or even once a month.Therefore, Mrs. Lin complained about Li Xia taking a bath every day.Mrs. Lin said in front of Li Xia how expensive the water and electricity bills are now, and how much electricity is wasted every time the water heater is turned on.Lin Chong's home uses an electric water heater, but in winter, Mrs. Lin doesn't even turn on the water heater, so Li Xia has to turn it on in advance every time he takes a bath.But after Mrs. Lin realized that her daily words were useless, she began to unplug the water heater.Sometimes when Li Xia just plugged it in, Mrs. Lin pretended to unplug it accidentally, and when Li Xia went to take a shower, the water was still cold.

Later, Li Xia couldn't stand it anymore, and bought a gas water heater with his own money.You said that the electricity bill is expensive, but the gas is cheaper, right? I have nothing to say this time, right?But the reality is not so smooth.Li Xia took a bath for more than a month, and the water heater was turned on every day, and then she washed the dishes with hot water.As a result, the gas in the house ran out at once.When I went to pay, I found out that the purchase of this gas is restricted, and if the limit is exceeded, there is no way to pay.As a result, Li Xia went back to using electricity, and even used the induction cooker for cooking.

Another example is the matter of Li Xia eating.At that time, when Li Xia ate, he often ate with Mrs. Lin.But Mrs. Lin is a bit strange. You say she doesn't like Li Xia, and she doesn't. You say she likes Li Xia, but she doesn't.For example, when Li Xia was eating, Mrs. Lin looked at Li Xia while eating. As soon as Li Xia looked up, Mrs. Lin started telling Li Xia to eat, and told Li Xia to eat more.But when Li Xia went to pick up vegetables, Mrs. Lin looked at Li Xia viciously again, as if she wanted to eat Li Xia alive.

Let's just say that we usually do grocery shopping. In fact, at such a young age, how can Li Xia know how to do grocery shopping?What's more, Lin Chong and his wife usually have living expenses for Mrs. Lin, which is very abundant.But Mrs. Lin may think that Li Xia should not eat and drink for nothing when she lives in her own house, so she always wants to take advantage of Li Xia.Every time Li Xia goes out on weekends, Mrs. Lin will ask Li Xia to bring back some vegetables. At first, they were some expensive green leafy vegetables. Later, she actually asked Li Xia to buy some chicken, duck, fish, ribs, beef, etc. .Li Xia also felt that it was nothing, he and Lin Chong's family were not related, it was very rare for Lin Chong and his wife to take care of themselves, so what's the point of buying a la carte?What's more, it's not like I haven't eaten.But later, Li Xia felt reluctant.Because Li Xia found out that the dishes Mrs. Lin told her to buy would never appear on her table.For example, Mrs. Lin told her to buy small ribs, five catties. Li Xia thought that Lin Chong and his wife would come back to eat, and bought a particularly good one, maybe six or seven catties, and brought them home excitedly.As a result, that night, Li Xia didn't see the ribs he bought, nor did he see Lin Chong and his wife.Li Xia thought that Mrs. Lin had saved the ribs, but in the end, Li Xia never saw those ribs again.

Li Xia didn't really care about these little things at first, but as Li Xia grew older, Li Xia gradually understood that this old lady didn't like her. chased away.But Li Xia felt that these were nothing, since he would move out anyway when he was an adult, but now his guardianship was under the name of Lin Chong and his wife, and if he wanted to leave, Lin Chong and his wife would not let it go, so let's procrastinate like this.

Li Xia thought that the relationship between herself and Mrs. Lin would continue like this. Although the old lady thought she was not very happy, she would not target herself face to face, nor would she do anything excessive. She wanted to eat and wear whatever she wanted. Buy whatever you want, anyway, since you have money, Lin Chong and his wife won't object, and they didn't ask me for money.However, one thing happened, which made Li Xia feel that he was wrong.
