Chapter 1363 You think everyone's like you, always showing off to others?
Seeing that she was still holding her daughter's hand, she smiled and said, "Our Yu Rong has come too."
Tao Yurong regained her usual liveliness: "Auntie, my mother and I have come to deliver pickled cucumbers."
Chu Xue pinched the little girl's cheek: "Then Auntie thanks Yu Rong."
The little guy quickly waved his hand and said, "I didn't do it, you should thank my mom."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sister Tao laughed and said, "After being sick, she talks a lot more than before, just like a little chatterbox."
Chu Xue had the two of them sit down under the osmanthus tree in the yard, then went into the kitchen and brought out a few peach shortbreads, handing one to each of the mother and daughter.
Aunt Tao waved her hand and said, "Don't bother. I just heard that you've been having morning sickness these past few days. I pickled some a few days ago, and it's just the right time for you to eat it, so I brought some over for you."
Seeing her daughter staring longingly at the peach shortbread, Sister Tao said in an annoyed tone, "What a little glutton."
Chu Xue shoved the snow directly into the little girl's hand: "Try it, see if you like it."
The little girl said in her sweet, childish voice, "Mommy gave me some before, it was delicious."
Tao's wife couldn't stop her any longer, since her daughter's eyes were already glued to the peach shortbread. She could only say, "Why don't you thank Aunt Fu?"
The little girl nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Aunt Fu."
Her pronunciation was very clear, and her cute appearance made Chu Xue very happy. She couldn't help but touch her belly and think: If this baby is a girl, I will definitely dress her up beautifully.
Tao's wife glanced at the gate and said in a low voice, "By the way, just a heads-up, the mother of Company Commander Cui across the street is coming with those two brats. You should keep an eye on them in the future."
Just then, Fu Yancheng, who had gone back to the kitchen to collect the dishes, came out and overheard the conversation. He couldn't help but ask, "When did you arrive?"
When asked the question, Sister Tao's expression was somewhat complicated: "I arrived this morning, but I was sued before I even entered the family compound. The leaders are probably dealing with the case right now."
Chu Xue became interested: "What's going on?"
Sister Tao perked up: "Let me tell you, birds of a feather flock together. Company Commander Cui's mother is even more shrewish than Zhang Lianhua. Last year during the Spring Festival, she brought her grandson over and made a mess of the family compound. Everyone avoided them."
Chu Xue's mood soured. After all, her house was right across from Company Commander Cui's. Even if Cui didn't bother her, she couldn't afford to bother others. Otherwise, she would be watching a drama unfold all day long. Her family had a wounded soldier and a pregnant woman.
Her worries were not unfounded. Sure enough, just before dinner time, there was a commotion from the Cui family: "Son, Da Bao, Er Bao, and I have suffered so much today. We can't just let this go like this."
Company Commander Cui's face was grim: "Mom, forget it, what else do you want? Your son is just a company commander, while that man is a deputy regimental commander. Do you want me to cause trouble for the deputy regimental commander?"
Upon hearing her son's words, Old Lady Cui fell silent: "That woman is actually the deputy regimental commander's wife?"
Company Commander Cui's face darkened further: "Do you think everyone is like you, always showing off to others?"
Old Mrs. Cui felt she had lost face in front of her two grandsons. "Alright, we're hungry. Quickly tell your wife to get us something to eat."
Zhang Lianhua, who was preparing the quail, came out of the kitchen and said, "Mom, I'm cooking, it'll be ready soon, just wait a little longer."
Granny Cui, who had been holding back her anger, finally found a scapegoat: "You lazy bum, you know perfectly well that Da Bao, Er Bao, and I are coming over today, and you still haven't cooked dinner. What, are you not welcoming this old hag, or are you not welcoming your own son?"
