Little Monster Observation Diary

Yan Chen soon bought a goldfish from the pet store and made it his new pet.

After Yan's mother saw it, she said a few words to him, and immediately forgot about it, never thinking about it again.It wasn't until a long time later that I suddenly found that the fish tank at home was empty, and I didn't recall this incident.However, she also regarded it as her son's failure to raise pets, so she didn't take it to heart.

Of course that goldfish was not raised to death by Yan Chen.

After all, he also had the experience of raising small aquatic monsters for many years, but no matter how much experience he had, he could not match the food chain of nature.

After the fish tank entered Yan Chen's room, Xiao Shui was the most curious person. He lay down in front of the fish tank to look at it every day, and spoke a language that Yan Chen couldn't understand. According to Xiao Shui's words, that was He is communicating with the goldfish.

Thinking of Xiaoshui's friends under the sea, Yan Chen was speechless for a while, then put this matter behind him.

Until one day, when he was playing a game, he suddenly heard the sound of splashing water coming from behind him. The boss was pushing to a critical moment. Yan Chen's gaze was fixed on the screen, and he only called out: "Little boy!" water?"

"Ow?"

Hearing Xiao Shui's answer, Yan Chen didn't take it to heart, and continued to play the game intently.

After finally clearing the dungeon, he finally turned around and saw Xiao Shui lying on the ground with his stomach stretched out, his little hands still scratching his stomach, looking like he just had a full meal.

Yan Chen froze for a moment, then silently moved his eyes to the table next to him. The fish tank was still the same, with pebbles of different sizes and plastic aquatic plants on the bottom, and the fish food he had just thrown in was still floating in the water. Everything is fine, only the goldfish swimming in the fish tank is gone.

Yan Chen stared at the fish tank for a while, then silently turned his gaze back to Xiao Shui.

"You..." Yan Chen opened his mouth, suddenly remembered something, gasped softly, and said in disbelief, "Could it be that you... ate the goldfish?!"

Xiao Shui raised his head innocently, looked at him, and soon showed a smiling expression, reaching out for a hug.

Yan Chen: "...!!!"

"Yan Chen?" Xiao Shui stretched out his hand again.

Only then did Yan Chen come to his senses, picked him up and rushed into the bathroom, took out his child's toothbrush, squeezed toothpaste on it, forced it into his hand, and said, "Brush!"

Xiao Shui stood on the small stool with a puzzled expression, but he still took it, brushed his teeth slowly, brushed up, down, left, and right, in and out, for a few minutes, and soon a glass of clear water was handed to him, and his head moved In the past, he took a mouthful, grunted, and spat it out.

After letting Yan Chen wipe his mouth for himself, he showed Yan Chen his teeth as if offering a treasure.

Yan Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a headache: "What's wrong with you? Do you have to eat goldfish? Who told you to eat goldfish?"

"Can't you eat it?" Xiao Shui was puzzled, isn't that the food reserve for him and Yan Chen?

"Of course you can't eat it!!" Yan Chen said violently, "That's an ornamental fish!"

"Can't ornamental fish be eaten?"

Yan Chen choked, but he didn't say that ornamental fish can't be eaten, it's just that everyone only keeps ornamental fish as pets, even those who know how to eat, never thought of eating ornamental fish...

"It's not tasty yet." Xiao Shui whispered: "In the future, Yan Chen must never buy this kind of unpalatable fish, it's so small that it doesn't even have much meat."

"...where are the bones?"

Xiao Shui patted his stomach: "Eat it!"

"..."

Yan Chen felt that his headache was getting worse.He added: "You can't eat raw fish in the future, do you know? It can only be cooked fish."

"Why can't you eat it? Xiao Shui used to eat raw fish!"

There is no distinction between raw and cooked fish in the recipe, and Xiao Shui, who has eaten both raw and cooked fish, did not understand his words.

Yan Chen went crazy: "If I say you can't eat it, you can't eat it!"

"..."

Xiao Shui complied obediently, not daring to refute his words.

After a while, he said again: "Isn't it a waste to buy it and not eat it?"

"..."

Yan Chen didn't want to explain to him the difference between ornamental fish and edible fish, so he carried him out tiredly.He muttered in his mouth: "I don't want you to eat and drink. When will I not buy fish for you? You have to go catch goldfish to eat..."

Xiao Shui only eats seafood, nothing else, not even staple food.Fortunately, in Linhai, Jiang City, the most indispensable thing is all kinds of seafood. Yan Chen buys different types for him every day, and he doesn't bring any duplicates for a week.

"But I'm hungry." Xiao Shui touched his belly with some grievances: "I'm hungry, I want to eat fish."

Yan Chen paused.

Since the little monster grew up, his food intake has also increased. At the beginning, he only needed a bowl of fish soup or fish paste to feed him. Later, he became more and more able to eat, and he ate more and more fish in one meal. Shang Xiaoshui doesn't eat staple food, so he has to buy a lot of seafood every day, which adds up to a huge expense.

Are you eating more now?

Yan Chen replied, "From then on, every meal will have one more fish." But he had other thoughts in his mind.

He can't bear Xiaoshui to eat the same kind of fish every day. Although he occasionally buys cheap fish, he also buys expensive ones. Xiaoshui's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Now his pocket money can still support him. Not necessarily anymore.

Yan's father and Yan's mother feel sorry for their son alone, and they are generous when they give pocket money, but the Yan family is not a rich family, and Yan Chen's pocket money is limited. If he is alone, he will live a very happy life, but then Add a little water with a picky taste and a big appetite, and it will be stretched.

Yan Chen checked his small treasury, calculated the cost of raising Xiaoshui, and thought about the increasing expenses in the future, he suddenly felt his shoulders heavy.

Maybe it was because he stayed in a daze for too long, so Xiao Shui couldn't help leaning over, and asked worriedly, "Yan Chen?"

"It's nothing." Yan Chen stroked his hair smoothly: "I was just thinking about where to make money."

"make money?"

Xiao Shui scratched his head, suddenly thought of something, turned around and ran to the side of the bed. He lay down and crawled under the bed with hands and feet.

Yan Chen couldn't help looking at him, Xiao Shui quickly crawled out, and pushed out a strange little bag together, before Yan Chen remembered what this little bag was, he was already holding the little bag with bright eyes ran over.

"Give you!"

"Give it to me? What is this?" Yan Chen took it curiously. The bag was bulging. He opened the zipper, and the colorful banknotes squeezed inside immediately rushed out.

It was only then that Yan Chen remembered that this was a relic left by Grandma Jiang to her little grandson.

Xiao Shui: "Give it all to Yan Chen!"

Yan Chen shook his head and pulled the zipper back, stuffing it back into his arms: "This is what Grandma Jiang left for you, I can't take it."

"Why?" Xiao Shui was anxious: "Didn't Yan Chen want to make money? Xiao Shui will give you all the money."

"No, you take care of what Grandma Jiang left for you." Yan Chen rubbed his hair: "I'm not at the point where I need your money to help."

Xiao Shui hugged the little bag, feeling very disappointed, he got back under the bed to hide the little bag, and then went back to Yan Chen, propping his chin and looking at him curiously.

Before Yan Chen could figure it out, he took the initiative and said, "Xiaoshui's treasure can be sold for money."

Yan Chen: "..."

Yan Chen immediately thought of that pile of sparkling gemstones, mixed in a pile of glass crystals, seemingly inconspicuous, but actually very valuable.

When I was a child, they were the most precious things. Even he couldn't touch them. He had to take them out and wipe them carefully every day, and then secretly hid them. Yan Chen remembered that he brought a bunch of them here, but he still doesn't know about them. Where did you hide those things in the room.

Yan Chen had a toothache for a while, but still insisted: "I will find a way by myself, I don't need your baby."

Let's not talk about who the owner of those gems is. Even if he really sells gems, he will definitely be suspected as a minor. At that time, he will be traced to find his parents. What's more serious, maybe even the existence of Xiao Shui must be exposed.

Yan Chen refused, but Xiao Shui heaved a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

Yan Chen: "..."

He glanced at the time, and simply turned Xiao Shui back to his original form, and took him out to buy fish.

Before Yan Chen's small coffers ran out, the first thing that came was the start of school.

At the end of the summer vacation, he also had to carry his schoolbag and go to school.To this, Xiaoshui's reaction was bigger than his. Since the first few days before the start of school, he has been tearful, hugging his waist and not letting go, trying to beg him to take him to school with a pitiful appearance, but he just doesn't care about him. No matter how many times I begged, Yan Chen mercilessly refused.

"Xiao Shui is very obedient, hiding in Yan Chen's schoolbag, and will never run around!" Xiao Shui patted his chest and promised: "I will go to school with Yan Chen, so that I can see Yan Chen all the time."

"No." Yan Chen said calmly, "You stay at home and you can't go anywhere."

Xiao Shui looked at him aggrievedly.

"I will come back as soon as possible and bring you delicious food, how about it?" Yan Chen promised: "As long as you are obedient, I will take you to the beach when you are free. Didn't you say that you want to grow old?" Turtle?"

"But……"

"The weather is so hot now, if you go with me, there is no air-conditioning in the classroom, you can only stay in my schoolbag, and you can't swim in the bucket, you have to think carefully. Besides, before my summer vacation, you are not Do you also stay at home alone? Why didn't it appear that you wanted to go to school with me at that time." Yan Chen was depressed.

Xiao Shui hesitated for a moment.

It's just that the thought of seeing Yan Chen all the time overwhelmed other things that frightened him, and he still said firmly, "I want to go!"

"..."

Yan Chen thought for a while, went out and brought back a photo album, spread it out in front of him.

Xiao Shui opened it suspiciously, and his attention was quickly attracted to the contents of the album.

It was full of Yan Chen!

Whether it's the familiar appearance, or the appearance he has never seen before, Yan Chen's appearance from childhood to adulthood has been recorded in the photos, just born, babbling, toddler, just entering elementary school Yes, I went to junior high school, and until now, I have saved a whole album full of Yan Chen.

Xiao Shui's attention was immediately attracted.

He doesn't pester Yan Chen anymore, because there is a photo to replace Yan Chen!

Every day when Yan Chen goes to school, Xiao Shui flips through the photo album, from the first one to the last one, and after finishing it, Yan Chen goes home.If not, then go back to the first one and read it again, often before finishing the second one, he can wait until Yan Chen comes back.

Xiao Shui never gets tired of seeing Yan Chen's photos, even if he looks at them several times a day, he won't get bored.On the contrary, Yan Chen, who had been worried before, breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed for the time being.

Yan Chen also quickly found new things to do.

After school started, I didn't see him for the summer vacation. The students saved a lot of things to share with their friends. Recently, a game was popular in school, and it was the one that Yan Chen played during the summer vacation.His operation is good, and he has a lot of time. Everyone shared his account number, and he was chased by his classmates to call him a master.

During the break, Yan Chen listened to other people's conversations while doing the homework assigned in the previous class.

As he listened, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

His tablemate was chatting happily with the classmates around him about games when suddenly a hand patted him on the shoulder.

The tablemate turned his head blankly, and saw Yan Chen looking at him with a smile on his face.I don't know if it was his illusion, but he saw the pattern of money in Yan Chen's eyes.

"Do you...do you lack power leveling?"
