In my 40s, the trading system took me flying

Chapter 35 Who doesn’t like sweet talk?

When asked this question, Xu Xiaoya almost rolled her eyes, but she still held it back.

Hate?

How could she not hate it?

Putting people from hostile countries together, especially during wartime, if she said she had no hatred towards them at all, she would be heartless, but could she show it?

What's more, she had a bold plan and wanted to realize it now.

"Miss Midori is so beautiful, why should I be afraid of you?"

Xu Xiaoya’s baby voice is so addictive, and coupled with her crying tone, it really melts people’s hearts.

Miss Midori is a face-obsessed person. She thought Xu Xiaoya was indeed a little person given to her by her father to entertain her, so she didn't think too much about it.

In her opinion, since her father was able to send someone here, he must have examined her and knew that there was definitely no problem with Xu Xiaoya, so she could keep her by her side without worry.

"Yes, I'm not scary. I don't kill anyone. Why are you afraid of me?"

Midori picked up Xu Xiaoya with a smile on her face.

The servants accompanying her were all shocked. This was the first time they saw Miss Midori smile since her mother left. They all looked at the little girl Xu Xiaoya with admiration.

"hungry!"

Xu Xiaoya's stomach growled, but she couldn't help but speak out.

Miss Midori couldn't bear to see Xu Xiaoya, who looked like a toy, starve, so she asked the people beside her to prepare food. She continued to hold Xu Xiaoya in her arms, with no intention of letting go.

The servant beside her was afraid that Midori was tired, so he reached out to hug Xu Xiaoya, but Midori dodged him.

"I can hold her!"

Xu Xiaoya also couldn't understand it. Even if she was popular, was there something wrong with a girl from a hostile country falling so in love with her after just one meeting?

But she soon gave up worrying about it.

It was not because of anything else, it was just because she saw food.

The translator was furious when he saw the two girls disappearing, but he had no say here and didn't dare to show his dissatisfaction.

After cursing the little beast inwardly, the interpreter walked away holding his hat.

Xu Xiaoya didn't care what the translator said. She was only thinking about eating at this moment.

She had eaten Japanese food in her previous life, but her mother never allowed her to eat sashimi, saying that it contained too many parasites. If she felt unwell, she would have to go to the hospital, which would not only cost money but also be painful.

When she came here, Xu Xiaoya saw the sashimi in front of her, but she didn't eat it. It was not because she became timid, but because she knew very well that the sashimi nowadays might really contain parasites.

In an era of lack of medical care and medicine, coupled with insufficient knowledge about parasites, Xu Xiaoya did not want to die in pain.

“This is delicious!”

Meidai pushed the sashimi in front of Xu Xiaoya in a somewhat awkward local language. Xu Xiaoya shook her head and said, "Fish is so cute, how can I eat it?"

Miyo:?

Xu Xiaoya laughed awkwardly and then said, "Ms. Meidai, it's cold, eat something hot, or you'll get a stomachache!"

Midori laughed and didn't think much about it. She thought that Xu Xiaoya was young and had a weak stomach, and her family probably had never let her eat this.

Midori did not force Xu Xiaoya, but let her eat sushi, while she picked up the chopsticks and started eating sashimi.

Xu Xiaoya did not refuse this time. Although the sushi made of rice had a strong Japanese flavor, it was rice after all.

You should know that nowadays, eating rice will get you arrested, because there is a rule that ordinary people are not allowed to eat rice. They don’t deserve it, and if they are found eating rice privately, they will be arrested.

Although when Xu Xiaoya was at the Xu family, Old Lady Xu would make rice oil for her, it was mostly made with millet, and very little rice.

Now seeing the sushi in front of Miss Midori, it would be a lie to say that I am not greedy. I am more angry and my hatred for the Japanese devils is even more obvious.

Standing on other people's territory and oppressing other people's people, where do they get the shamelessness and complacency from?

Xu Xiaoya was eating sushi with big mouthfuls, and Miss Midori was beside her, recommending some delicious food from time to time. It seemed that she was not there to entertain Miss Midori, but to be served by Miss Midori.

Maybe it was because Xu Xiaoya ate too sweetly, or maybe it was because Xu Xiaoya looked too cute, Miss Midori actually ate quite a lot. When the servant who was serving her saw this, she was not so averse to Xu Xiaoya's appearance.

After finishing the meal, Xu Xiaoya touched her stomach and yawned. She felt sleepy after eating, and she didn't want to, but her body couldn't bear it.

Miss Midori really treated the cute-looking Xu Xiaoya as a doll. When she saw her yawning, she asked someone to bring a quilt and cover Xu Xiaoya.

"Go to sleep. When you wake up, I'll take you out to play!"

Xu Xiaoya was not worried about safety at all and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

Just in a daze, she heard some noise.

Perhaps she subconsciously knew that she was in a dangerous place, so Xu Xiaoya opened her eyes. However, she did not move, but just squinted her eyes. Through the slit, she first saw the roof, and then slowly saw clearly that it was still the roof.

Well, she was lying on her back and couldn't see what was going on around her unless she turned her head. Fortunately, the house was still Miss Midori's house, so she closed her eyes and pricked up her ears to listen to any movement.

"Did father tell me why he was leaving?"

Miss Miyo asked in a low voice.

She is already ten years old. Although she is still a child, a child who survives war, no matter how well protected, will not be as innocent as Xu Xiaoya.

"The head of the family sent someone to deliver a message saying he has a mission and asked Miss Midori not to go out. Stay here and wait for his return!"

Although they spoke in bird language, Xu Xiaoya understood it.

If you ask her why she knows Japanese, it’s a long story, but to sum it up, in her previous life she had a mother who was crazy about pushing her child to study, and her English as a second language was not ideal, so to be on the safe side, her mother gave her an elective course in Japanese as a third language!

So Xu Xiaoya really knows Japanese.

Knowing that Yamamoto was not here, Xu Xiaoya felt a little regretful.

She also wanted to get some special information from Yamamoto, and even better, create something new by the way.

"you're awake?"

Xu Xiaoya rubbed her eyes and sat up. Miss Midori noticed her and left her servants behind and walked over to smile at Xu Xiaoya.

Xu Xiaoya also smiled at her: "Hug!"

Maybe because her drowsy look was too cute, Miss Midori hugged her and did not let her wear the clothes she took off for sleeping. Instead, she asked someone to bring her a new cotton-padded jacket.

Xu Xiaoya put on new clothes, but pointed at the old ones and said, "You can't throw them away, they're mine!"

Miss Meidai was very cooperative: "Okay, I won't throw it away for you. Let them wash it for you and you can wear it when you want!"

Xu Xiaoya shook her head: "You can't wash the cotton-padded jacket. It won't be warm if you wash it. Just wrap it up!"

She didn't want these people to find out that her cotton-padded jacket was full of cotton, and it was new cotton. Cotton was also a military supply and was subject to purchase restrictions.

Miss Midori never thought of letting Xu Xiaoya leave. She could tolerate her figurine being a little arrogant, let alone such a small matter. She asked the servant to bring a bag and stuff all of Xu Xiaoya's clothes into it.

Since Xu Xiaoya was too friendly and didn't ask to go home at all, Miss Midori thought that Xu Xiaoya liked her very much, which was why she behaved like that. She was so happy that she took Xu Xiaoya to visit the house where she lived.

The servants behind them followed them with snacks and warm water. The two little girls ate when they were tired of walking around. It seemed as if they were at a garden party. It was so comfortable. If it weren't for the occasional muffled noise outside, everyone would have thought it was a peaceful time.

Xu Xiaoya had been looking at the structure of the courtyard, and she also pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation between the servants. Although they spoke Japanese, Xu Xiaoya could really understand it.

After she had almost figured out the situation, Xu Xiaoya asked Miss Meidai: "Miss Meidai, have you ever seen a shadow play?"

Miss Meidai nodded. She knew that the children here didn't have many entertainment options, and watching shadow puppetry was one of them. She immediately said, "If you want to watch it, I'll arrange it for you!"

Xu Xiaoya nodded: "Winter is perfect for eating cakes and watching shadow plays in a warm house!"

They don't like listening to opera, but shadow play is much more interesting. The key is that some old artists are also very good at ventriloquism.

Meidai asked someone to make arrangements to satisfy Xu Xiaoya's little expectation.

At the end of the day, Xu Xiaoya successfully made Miss Meidai fall in love with her, but the price she paid was that her hair was styled in a strange style and she had to change a lot of clothes.

Zhenzhen has become Miss Midori's action figure doll.

However, Xu Xiaoya fell in love with every piece of clothing she changed into, so all the clothes that Miss Midori got were hung in the room assigned to her.

If Xu Xiaoya hadn't been too tired and fell asleep while watching the shadow play, Miss Midori would have been able to pull her to continue playing.

Xu Xiaoya had a wonderful first day, but things were not so relaxing in the Xu family grocery store.

Old Mrs. Xu had a murderous look on her face, and she wished she could rush out and bring Xu Xiaoya back immediately, but her second uncle and the others would not allow her to do anything wrong. Many members of the Xu family in the provincial capital came over.

The backyard of the grocery store was packed with people.

There was a charcoal brazier burning in the room. No one dared to make any loud noises, but instead discussed in low voices what to do.

Logically speaking, Xu Xiaoya is just a little girl, so they don't need to care too much about her. The white tiger skin is a treasure, but the girl is worthless.

But the girl from the Xu family is not worthless, on the contrary very valuable.

However, this value is only for the main family, and other families don’t care, so no one present expressed any opinion.

"There's nothing wrong with using the tiger skin in exchange for the child's life. A dead thing is more important than a human life."

This is none of their business. The tiger skin is not theirs, and the child is not theirs anyway. They might as well do a favor and let the host see their good intentions.

"How can that be possible? That white tiger skin is our Xu family's treasure, passed down from our ancestors. It represents the will of our Xu family. There must be other ways to save the child!"

This is the branch of the Xu family responsible for keeping the white tiger skin.

Old Mrs. Xu listened without saying anything, but just looked at her second uncle who was sitting in the middle.

The second uncle is the oldest and is considered the leader of the Xu family in the provincial capital.

The second uncle smoked his water pipe for a long time before speaking: "The child must be saved, but are you sure Yamamoto really only wants a white tiger skin?"
