My Wife is an Evil Dragon-Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Evil Dragon Dishwashing Girl
When Xia Li was a child, he had fantasized about raising a big wolfdog in the future.
When he came home from school, he would always run into the big dog raised by the neighbor next door. He felt that it was mighty and domineering, and it could also help deal with the leftovers at home.
Little Xia Li had seen the little brother next door secretly stuff the vegetables he didn’t like into the big dog’s mouth more than once. Looking down at the vegetables in his own bowl that he could never finish, little Xia Li was always envious to death.
Now, the idea of raising a dog is long gone.
There is a big evil dragon at home who can lick the bowl.
Xia Li had to sigh, Lucia could indeed provide him with excellent emotional value.
For a clumsy chef, the diner eating all the food clean is the highest level of recognition for his cooking skills.
Watching Lucia’s eyes narrow happily as she ate, Xia Li also felt content.
“I’m finished eating.”
After finishing the last mouthful of fish soup, Lucia put down the empty bowl in her hand.
This was the first full meal she had eaten since she transmigrated to Earth!
That invention called a ‘rice cooker’ was truly amazing.
Obviously, the rice was hard and unpalatable, but after putting it in the rice cooker, it would immediately become soft and fragrant.
It was even more magical than magic on Azure Continent!
“Xia Li, the rice cooker must be the greatest invention of mankind!”
Lucia sighed sincerely.
Xia Li didn’t want to dampen her enthusiasm, so he nodded and hummed in agreement.
He propped himself up and gathered all the empty bowls on the table.
Seeing this, Lucia quickly put her dangling little feet back on the ground and snatched the tableware from Xia Li’s hands.
“Let me do it!” Lucia said excitedly.
She hugged the dirty plates in her arms tightly, with an expression on her face that said, ‘Don’t try to steal my business’.
“…”
Xia Li was helpless and had to let go.
Lucia turned and went to the kitchen, muttering to herself as she walked.
“Five… next time I’ll use more bowls!”
Looking at the thin figure of the evil dragon busy in the kitchen, Xia Li pondered for a moment.
In the end, he chose not to go in and take away Lucia’s ‘business’.
If he wanted Lucia to survive in modern society, then he must let her have the most basic ability to take care of herself.
Xia Li still understood the principle of teaching a man to fish rather than giving him a fish.
Spoiling an evil dragon was not a good thing.
With the thinking of an evil dragon, it was difficult for Lucia to understand the meaning of ‘returning kindness’.
Xia Li remembered a joke he had seen online before.
When humans feed dogs, the dog’s inner thought is ‘He gives me food, he must be God!’
While the cat’s inner thought is ‘He gives me food, I must be God!’
Obviously, the evil dragon belonged to the cat species.
They were arrogant and ungrateful. The more they were cared for, the more they would become spoiled and take it for granted.
Xia Li was not sure if Lucia also had this kind of thinking.
But now, this guy was willing to work in exchange, then Xia Li would definitely support it.
“Be careful when washing the dishes, don’t turn the hot water temperature too high, or you’ll get burned.”
Xia Li shouted towards the busy figure in the kitchen, and Lucia’s response followed immediately.
“Oh, I know!”
Ignoring the dishwashing evil dragon, Xia Li went back to his room.
He opened his dusty computer and looked at the prompt window on the computer that was updating the system. Xia Li thought for a long time.
Just now when he was eating, he had used his phone to glance at the recruitment information on several recruitment websites.
◈◈◈
Except for the suspicious information that was obviously trying to scam people out of their money and kidneys, there were not many jobs with good treatment and salary that Xia Li could fancy.
It was not that he was being unrealistic.
It was mainly that those jobs that clearly stated that the internship salary was 1500, who would be willing to do them? The location was so remote, just commuting would take half a person’s life.
It said that it would take about four months to become a regular employee, who knew how wide the scope of this ‘about’ could be?
He seemed to understand those good brothers who became corporate slaves after graduation.
In the past, when they invited Xia Li out for drinks and complained endlessly, Xia Li comforted them by saying, ‘It’s okay, just bear with it and it will pass.’ Now, Xia Li discovered that it might not be a matter of just bearing with it.
Turning the chair under his butt, Xia Li thought for a long time and finally opened Zhihu.
Since Xia Li himself majored in Chinese Language and Literature, when he was relatively free during his sophomore year, he tried writing some short stories on Zhihu.
At that time, he happened to know a senior who was doing part-time work in this way, so Xia Li asked him for advice.
He originally had the attitude of giving it a try, but it just so happened that he caught the rising period of Zhihu website traffic, and Xia Li’s debut work was divided into hundreds of dollars on the website.
Later, he tried several more books, and the income was neither high nor low. It was about 50 to 60 yuan per 1000 words, which was just enough for his living expenses in college.
In those years of university, Xia Li used this method to earn his living expenses.
Fang Xia never understood what her son was doing online. She only knew that Xia Li didn’t ask for money from the family, which always made her worry about whether Xia Li would starve, so she would ask Old Xia to bring something to feed Xia Li every now and then.
Now, Xia Li planned to pick up this old profession again.
Although the money he earned was not much, it was already very good to have money for food.
Xia Li also wanted to take Lucia to try all kinds of new foods. This was the promise he made to Lucia.
Not only to fulfill the agreement, Xia Li was actually very happy to let Lucia try the delicacies of the human world.
Every time he saw the happy expression on the evil dragon’s face when she ate delicious food, Xia Li also felt an inexplicable sense of warmth.
He and this evil dragon could still empathize with each other in this regard.
Listening to the sound of rushing water coming from the kitchen, Xia Li logged into his Zhihu account and tapped on the keyboard.
There were no good stories in his mind right now.
After being out of touch with society for three years, without any contact with any works or art, his mind was blank in this situation, and it was difficult to come up with short stories.
However, although Xia Li had no stories from Earth, he could write stories from another world.
And, in every sense of the word, this story was not something he made up out of thin air.
This was a real world.
‘Azure Continent ━ Record of Experiences from Another World’
‘From today onwards, it will be serialized!’

In the living room after dinner, Xia Yuanjun was wearing reading glasses and watching the news broadcast on his mobile phone.
Fang Xia was mopping the floor with a mop. The more she mopped, the more energetic she became, and she took out her mobile phone from time to time to glance at the messages.
“Old Xia, your son won’t reply to my messages!”
“Don’t worry, he didn’t reply to my messages either.”
Xia Yuanjun took a sip of tea calmly.
Seeing that her old man didn’t take the matter to heart, Fang Xia became even more anxious.
“No, I’ll send a message to the old neighbor and ask her to help take care of him.” Fang Xia put down the mop and took action.
Xia Yuanjun pushed up his glasses and looked at her, comforting her.
“Don’t worry, don’t we know our son…”
“It’s just a children’s toothbrush, it’s not necessarily a minor. Even if it is, our son must know what he’s doing.”
