Blessing Potion [Comprehensive British and American]

Chapter 3 A group of strange birthday presents

"Honey, I have to buy these textbooks from you..." Ms. Lin Jiu took the letter from her husband and read some of the titles in English softly.

"Yes, my old friend and I have already contacted each other a few days ago. Let's set off to England together when our mother comes back, and prepare for our son in advance."

"My father and I have no objection to this point. It's just... dear, don't you think that the biggest problem right now is that your son may not even know the names of these textbooks...??" Ms. Lin Jiu's beautiful face full of worries.

"..." Mr. Benny, Ms. Lin Jiu, and Grandpa Lin Qi all set their sights on running away at some time. Carefree and Lao Bao are grabbing slippers. Riel.

"Didn't you start giving Cyril special English training three years ago?" The father-in-law hated iron.

"Maybe he doesn't have the talent for it...we don't do math," Benny replied dryly.

"Honey, we are speaking English now." Lin Jiu revealed without sympathy.

"Oh." Grandpa mocked.

"Last year, you disagreed with enrolling in the Mathematics Olympiad class. Now Lin Xirui's math scores are in a mess. This year, I told him to enroll him in an English class, but you refused to let him. Da Mao from Sister Li's house next door has been attending that cram school. Teacher Ma praised all the results of the parent meeting." Lin Jiu complained softly.

"What's there to brag about? My son knows how to read characters much earlier than their idiot. When Cyril wrote his diary, that idiot was still reciting Chinese pinyin aoe!" Benny defended the calf for a second.

"Who wants to envy her. It's her who said it to everyone... But really don't enroll him in a surprise training class? I heard that foreign college students are popular in the capital to cultivate spoken English..."

"You still have to go to the capital?" Mr. Lin was very disgusted.

Benny insisted on protesting weakly: "Syril is still so young, how can you let him go on vacation and continue to attend remedial classes after all, that is too inhuman..."

"Come on, Sister Li's big hair is one year younger than our son... Our son is 7 and a half years old and he is considered late in school! I heard that some of them even reported their child's date of birth early... Tsk!"

"Okay, okay, what's the use of talking about it now, and it's too late to send it to the capital. Comrade Xiaoben, I solemnly inform you now: From today on, please start teaching my good grandson to learn English well enough for him Live in England." The old man jumped out to calm things down, as if he had completely forgotten who started the conversation just now...

"You don't have mathematics there, do you?" The old man asked anxiously after finishing the task.

"No……"

"Then English! Get one is one!"

……

"Son, come over and finish the milk. Don't chase the old bag, it won't be able to withstand your troubles when it's too old." Lin Jiu brought Xi Ruier back to the dining table, and stuffed the milk cup into his hand.

"Anyway, today is our Cyril's 11th birthday. Dad will give you a birthday present first. Happy birthday my baby!" Benny kissed his son's tender little face fiercely. , and handed him a heavy velvet pouch with his wand.

"Hey! Dad, I thought you forgot! What's this?...gold???"

Cyril kissed his father back perfunctorily, wiped the milk stains from the corner of his mouth on his face, opened the small cloth bag impatiently, and then was dumbfounded.

"Although...gold is pretty good...but Dad, have you already started giving such tacky gifts?" Cyril's tone was weak, with sympathy in his eyes.

"This is the currency of the British wizarding world. The gold is Galleons, the silver is Sickle, and the copper is Nat. The money is for you. You can buy what you want when we return to England."

As always, Mr. Benny gave his son an explanation in a good temper.

"Anything I want to buy?" Cyril's eyes lit up.

"Anything... no, no, no broomsticks."

"Oh. I didn't even think about buying a broom...is it pure gold?"

"Yes son, you can save, there's a goblin bank there, hey! Don't bite!! What's wrong with this???"

Benny snatched Garen from his son's mouth, and refrained from "cleaning" his mouth a dozen times.

He deeply felt that his love for his son could not last for 3 minutes, and now he wanted to spank his ass again.

"By the way, this is a birthday present from your grandparents. They think you should need it for school." Benny took out a huge and beautifully packaged package from his space bag.

"Wow! What is it?" Cyril asked, and his men had already started unpacking the presents. Inside the silver package was a mini leather suitcase.There is also a poster with changing patterns on the suitcase, with a line of big characters shining on it - "Starry·Starry traditional magic suitcase, falling in love with the feeling of noble travel. It began in AD 685"

There is an automatic demonstration animation below. After opening a suitcase as big as a calligraphy book, dozens of clothes, daily necessities, food, books... are automatically sorted and put away one after another.Looks like it filled at least half the room.

Cyril could no longer care about the poster that marveled at the picture moving by itself, he was staring at the things in the box in a daze.

The box is not the clothes, shoes, and snacks on the poster... but a box full of gems.

A long letter was pressed against the jewel.The letter was in Grandma Vera's handwriting, more slanted.

Hand over the English letter to Dad, and Benny will automatically start translating.

The main idea of ​​the letter is that they just finished their trip to South Africa and found several interesting plants and animals, and they will apply to compile them into the magical creature book when they come back.Grandpa Edward found a cave abandoned by American dragons, which were full of gems collected by dragons, and decided to give him the gems in this cave as a birthday present, as a sum of money for his Hogwarts schooling fund.

Everything is going great, only problem is they can't find the right size space bag.

So he asked his grandma Vera to customize this nice-looking (grandma thinks it's too stupid to be aristocratic) large-space suitcase to hold gems.Both safe and convenient.

Cyril silently watched the poster still flashing in more than a dozen languages:

"Starry luggage has 12 anti-theft functions"

"Upgraded version with unlimited weight reduction"

"The lowest discount at the end of the year is 1% discount for one item, and 2% discount for two items. This is only one time, if you miss it, wait for a year"

"Two Sickles cash back for good reviews on stamp albums, plus one year of free maintenance for positive reviews plus magic photo feedback"

The catchphrase of ...

Finally, he asked his father weakly:

"...so gems are for school? Suitcases are for gems???"

The thoughts of grandparents are as clear as ever!

Benny was indeed born to his grandparents! ! !

"It seems so." Benny was also a little uncertain, and read Vera's letter back and forth several times.

"But I think you can use this suitcase for school. Let's store the gems first..." Benny folded the letter and handed it to his son, making a concluding speech.

"Put it in Gringotts together with the Galleons I gave you... I guess one dome is not enough, I'll check the exchange rate of gems to Galleons..."

Cyril shrugged and said it was okay.At the same time, I once again felt strongly in my heart that grandpa and dad are really "biological father and son" in terms of gift giving!

The beautiful, kind, gentle, and dignified mother stepped forward at this time.

"Son, this is from your mother." Lin Jiu gently stroked Cyril's soft and fluffy hair, and took out a large and beautifully packaged package from the embroidered Qiankun bag in her hand.

"Wow! Thank you, Mom!" Cyril put aside the money bag and a box of gems given by his father, and began to happily tear the wrapping paper of the gift box.

I am very happy: how can it be a gift without beautiful wrapping paper?Still mom is more reliable.

Ms. Lin Jiu didn't care about her curly-haired son's rudeness to the gift wrapping paper, and stood aside with her hands clasped together, smiling.

"Mom...you gave me a stack of books???"

Cyril has given up hope in this cruel world.

"Hmm~" Ms. Lin Jiu was still smiling.

"Okay, okay... Let me see what's there?... "Children's Version of Grass Compendium", "Hand-painted Chinese Herbal Medicine", "Interesting Plants Around You"... "Oxford English Advanced Dictionary"...Dictionary??? Mom ! Why did you give me back a dictionary???"

If it was disappointment just now, then Cyril's tone is almost sad and angry now.

"Son, believe me, you will need it very much for some time in the future. I wanted to give you Wenquxing, but your father said that your school cannot use electrical appliances." Ms. Lin Jiu replied gently.

"Yeah, the battery doesn't work either," Benny agreed.

"And your father said that you would secretly play with the snake on it. I don't recommend buying it." Lin Jiu added with a smile.

"..."

Cyril lay down in an instant, he felt that greedy snakes were the key point, and this was full of malice to the world.

Grandpa Lin Qi came over to look at the few books his daughter gave to his precious grandson, and unexpectedly found that some of them were the ones he had enlightened her when she was a child. He couldn't help but stroked his beard and nodded.

Cyril pretended to hold back the book at hand, and replied Mama with an expression of "I can accept it intellectually, but emotionally I can't" plus an awkward but polite smile, rolling his eyes, looking at To the grandfather.

"Grandpa! What birthday gift did you give me!" A gigantic coquettish act accompanied by a fierce thigh-thumping movement, scared the well-known old man known as "Mr. Lin from the south of the Yangtze River" to take a step back.

"Hehehe, my body can't withstand the pounce of your rogue monkey. Look, what is this?"

"How can you? Your body is so strong!"

While flattering her grandfather flatteringly, Cyril stared closely at her grandfather's hands slowly flicking back and forth in the loose sleeves of the moon-white Tang suit.

Then I saw my grandfather took out one from his sleeve...

...little dinosaur

...little dinosaurs with blue-green scales

"..."

The small blue-green animal was obviously a little disturbed because it was suddenly taken out of a relatively safe place, and it flicked its barbed tail again and again.

A strangely shaped bump on the tip of the tail!

"Wait... how does this little dinosaur's head look like that! Could it be a mutant dinosaur???"

Cyril recovered from the shock and was convinced that he hadn't been dazzled. This little guy's head was very strange, and the bull's head and antlers clearly had a small dragon's head!

"My silly grandson, this is not a Laoshizi dinosaur! This is a descendant of a small turtle and a Pixiu. It is precious! You can touch the ridge on his back, and then look at his scales. Look at this Pixiu. Tail! This tail is a weapon!" Grandpa proudly stretched out the little beast in his hand in front of Cyril. 【Note 1】

Cyril stretched out an index finger, and gently followed the grandfather's instructions to brush the edge with the pulp of the finger. Instead of feeling the cold and greasy as imagined, it was smooth and dry.

Well, there's something cute about that touch.

Xiao Ao Pixiu slowly poked his head out, Xi Ruier also held his breath and moved closer, he saw it right, it was really a little dragon head!

"Snap" Pixiu's little tail slammed into Grandpa's hand.

Grandpa Lin Qi barely maintained his expression, and calmly changed one hand to hold it, and rubbed the other hand behind his back.

Tsk!It hurt so much that even he couldn't bear it.

The author has something to say:

[Note 1] Borrowing from Shanhaijing, there is a special description of Xiaoao and Pixiu.

But for the need of this little guy's transformation later, I added two mixed bloods myself (I love mixed bloods so much, cover my face)
