Originally, Cao Bamei wanted to call Xiuxiu into the room alone to have a good talk.

As a result, Xiuxiu's behavior made Cao Bamei have no idea what to say!

"Okay, okay, don't say anything anymore, let's go out!"

Cao Bamei waved her hands feebly, turned around and walked out.

Xiuxiu chased after her and grabbed Cao Bamei's hand: "Mom, what are you doing here? You've already come in, why did you just leave without saying anything?"

A glimmer of light ignited in Cao Bamei's eyes. She turned her head and looked deeply at Xiuxiu, asking word by word: "You want me to say it, can you guarantee that you will listen carefully to what I say next and take it to heart?

"

Xiu Xiu twitched her lips: "Mom, why are you so pretentious? Just say what you want to say!"

"As for whether I can listen to it, I don't know. It depends on what you say!"

The light in Cao Bamei's eyes went out again, and she pulled her sleeve back from Xiuxiu's hand.

"There's nothing more to say, let's go, get out!"

"Mother!" Xiuxiu stamped her foot.

Cao Bamei had already turned around. She stared at the door in front of her and said calmly: "Go out, don't delay, let your mother-in-law and third aunt worry."

After saying this, Cao Bamei ignored Xiuxiu who was still stomping her feet coquettishly behind her, opened the door and walked out.

"You didn't say this yourself, don't go back and sue me again!"

Xiu Xiu muttered a few words and followed him out of the main room.

Cao Bamei, who was walking in front, heard Xiuxiu's words, and her back suddenly stiffened, but she said nothing more and went straight back to the main room. Under the surprised eyes of Li Weiniang and Zhao Liu'er, she sat back in her seat.

"Why did you finish so quickly?" Li Weiniang smiled and stretched her head, asking with concern on her face.

Zhao Liuer also looked at Cao Bamei with some confusion.

Cao Bamei straightened her clothes, raised her hand to stroke her hair, smiled lightly and said, "Well, it's nothing important. I just told her a few words casually, and I feel relieved to know that everything is fine with her."

Li Weiniang nodded with a smile and stopped asking questions.

Zhao Liu'er grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the table and stuffed them into Cao Bamei's hand: "Second sister-in-law, eat melon seeds. These melon seeds are well fried and have a burnt aroma."

Cao Bamei knew that Zhao Liuer was deliberately looking for a topic to save herself from the siege.

So, Cao Bamei reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started eating them.

This sip almost made her tongue taste bitter.

The melon seeds were fried too old and were extremely bitter. Although they were burnt and fragrant, they were inedible.

"Well, these melon seeds are fried well. Third brother and sister, please let your mother-in-law eat the melon seeds too!" Cao Bamei said again, and winked at Zhao Liu'er.

In fact, Zhao Liuer had not eaten melon seeds before. Just as Cao Bamei guessed, Zhao Liuer was trying to change the topic to save Cao Bamei.

Seeing Cao Bamei secretly giving her a look, Zhao Liuer understood and quickly grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into Li Weiniang's hand.

"Come, mother-in-law, I will lend you flowers to offer to the Buddha, and you can take some too."

How could Li Weiniang not know what the melon seeds used to treat guests at home were like?

This move was intended to give Cao Bamei and the others some power.

"Haha, you are guests, you eat it." Li Weiniang said with a smile, and put the melon seeds in her hand on the table.

However, Zhao Liuer picked up a whole plate of melon seeds and brought it to Li Weiniang: "My mother-in-law is too polite. You treat us with such good watermelon seeds. How can we eat alone? Come on, let's eat together. It's better to enjoy alone than to enjoy together."

Well!"

Zhao Liuer just threw the melon seeds in front of Li Weiniang with all his strength, as if Li Weiniang didn't eat melon seeds, and they didn't either.

As for Cao Bamei, she said directly: "My mother-in-law, if you don't accompany us to eat, we will be embarrassed to eat."

After saying that, Cao Bamei also put the melon seeds in her hand aside.

If you don't eat, we won't eat either, and you are not treating us well.

Li Weiniang raised her hand and touched her cheek and said: "Originally, I definitely wanted to eat melon seeds with you, but my teeth are not good... Xiaowei and Xiuxiu both know this. If you don't believe it, ask them...

"

Li Wei smiled apologetically and said, "I dare not hide it from my mother-in-law and third aunt. My mother's teeth are indeed not in good condition. They have been hurting for several days. She has not eaten even a few mouthfuls of food these days."

After Li Wei finished speaking, he looked at Xiu Xiu beside him.

Xiuxiu nodded vigorously: "Mom, third aunt, my mother-in-law really has a toothache, I can testify to that!"

Then, she looked at Li Weiniang again and said, "My mother only ate half a bowl of rice last night and only drank a few mouthfuls of porridge this morning."

Cao Bamei glanced at Xiuxiu, she really hated the iron.

Zhao Liuer also secretly smiled bitterly.

This girl, really... her elbows are turned outwards, and she can't understand anything. She can't even understand the twists and turns in the conversation between the two parties. Is she really stupid or pretending to be stupid?

But after all, she is not her biological daughter, but just a niece. Zhao Liuer thinks that what she should say and do is almost done. Next, she will drink tea quietly and wait for dinner. After dinner, she will go home.

This errand is over!

"Since my mother's teeth are not good, I definitely can't eat melon seeds." Cao Bamei said with a faint smile.

"However, everyone knows the rules of hospitality. It is the same when we come to your home as guests, and it is the same when you come to my home as guests."

"Since my mother-in-law can't eat melon seeds, let Xiaowei take your place and eat melon seeds with us!"

Faced with this request from Cao Bamei, Li Weiniang refused without even thinking.

"What does he know? Let my good daughter-in-law Xiuxiu accompany your mother-in-law to eat melon seeds!" Li Wei said.

Then he smiled and looked at Xiuxiu with encouraging eyes.

Li Wei also looked at Xiuxiu expectantly.

Xiuxiu suddenly felt that she was shining brightly and became the object of much attention.

"Okay, I'd love it!"

Xiu Xiu responded cheerfully and was about to come forward to eat melon seeds with her when Cao Bamei said, "Xiu Xiu, have you forgotten what mother said before? About watermelon seeds?"

Xiu Xiu was stunned, and suddenly remembered what Cao Bamei said in the past: "If a girl eats too many watermelon seeds, her teeth will turn black, her mouth will smell bad, the skin on the tongue and the inner wall of the mouth will be worn away, and the flesh and blood will ulcerate."

smell!"

So Xiuxiu immediately backed down.

She was afraid that her tongue and mouth would become like that and Li Wei wouldn't like it!

So she hugged Li Wei's arm and said: "I thought about it, you should come. This is your home. You accompany my mother and my third aunt to eat melon seeds. When we go to my house and return tomorrow, I will accompany my mother-in-law."

How about eating something with Qiaoer?"

Li Wei was about to nod when Li Weiniang coughed.

Li Wei looked at his mother.

Everyone else also looked at his mother.

Li Weiniang smiled awkwardly, raised her hand and stroked her hair on her temples, "It's okay, there's phlegm in my throat."

When Xiu Xiu heard the phlegm, she immediately thought of her great-grandmother Tan... Suddenly, she didn't want to eat any delicacies, let alone melon seeds.
