Niu Cuihua glanced at Li Mingxi and spoke in a light tone.
"Yes, I just want to follow you and see what you are going to do in the county town. Do you think I don't know? You are so cunning all day long. It's all your idea. If I let you go out alone, who knows what you will do then!"
Li Mingxi stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, then put his arms around Niu Cuihua and spoke coquettishly.
"Grandma, how can you say that? What have I done? You're always on guard against me like a thief!"
Niu Cuihua just stared at Li Mingxi without saying a word. Li Mingxi lowered his head in embarrassment when his grandmother looked at him like that.
"Alright, alright, enough talking, let's go eat quickly, the food is getting cold!"
As she spoke, Niu Cuihua had already taken Li Mingxi's hand.
"Let's go, let's go after dinner!"
As she spoke, Niu Cuihua pushed Li Mingxi into the kitchen and handed a steamed bun to Li Mingxi.
"You don't know what your grandfather said last night when I told him I was going to the county town. He said he didn't have time to send me off and that I was just causing trouble for you!"
"Humph, I can get to the county town without him. When we get back from the county town, I will definitely give this old man a good slap in the face!"
Li Mingxi was listening to her grandmother chattering away. At that awkward moment, she didn't know how to respond!
Niu Cuihua muttered to herself for a long time, but when she looked up, she saw her little granddaughter just staring at her blankly without saying a word. She thought something had happened to her and quickly asked.
"What's wrong? Xiaoxi, why aren't you eating? Eat quickly, don't waste time!"
Li Mingxi was thinking about something when he heard his grandmother calling him. Then he reacted and spoke quickly.
"Oh, eat, eat!"
As he spoke, Li Mingxi picked up his bowl and started eating!
Niu Cuihua, who was standing by, became curious when she saw Li Mingxi like this. What had happened that made her granddaughter like this?
Therefore, she looked at Li Mingxi with a puzzled look and asked.
"Xiao Xi? What's going on? Can you explain it to grandma?"
Li Mingxi hadn't really thought about anything just now, so when he saw Niu Cuihua asking him, he was also confused.
"Nothing, grandma, why are you asking me?"
Although Niu Cuihua suspected that her granddaughter was thinking about something messy again, looking at her expression, she didn't seem to be hiding anything from her.
So, she just looked at Li Mingxi deeply, and then spoke calmly as usual.
"Nothing, okay, let's eat!"
Seeing that her grandmother didn't want to say more, Li Mingxi didn't ask any more questions.
After dinner, Li Mingxi packed up his things and came out, only to see his grandmother standing at the door waiting for him.
At first, she thought her grandmother was joking with her, but now she saw her grandmother standing there calmly waiting for her.
Li Mingxi really couldn't laugh!
She took a few quick steps and came to Niu Cuihua, then asked again uncertainly.
"Grandma? Do you really want to go to the county town with me?"
Niu Cuihua nodded, then said with a slightly annoyed look, "What do you think? Didn't you see I already pushed the bike out? What on earth are you thinking about all day long, kid?"
After scolding Li Mingxi, she began to give orders again.
"Alright, alright, stop standing there. It's already so late. We don't know when we'll be able to get to the county town! If you delay any longer, will we still be able to get back in the afternoon?"
Well, looking at grandma's attitude, we really have to go to the county town.
"Grandma, everything is fine. Why are you following me to the county town?"
Niu Cuihua sat on the back of the bicycle, scanned the scenery passing by, and spoke with a faint expression.
"So what if I want to follow you? What's the matter? You don't want me to follow you. Is there some secret you don't want me to know?"
As she spoke, she began to look at Li Mingxi, as if she wanted to see through him.
Although Li Mingxi couldn't see her grandmother's eyes, she felt a chill down her spine as she was riding a bicycle in front of her.
She was really afraid that her grandmother would bring up something else, so she quickly started to explain.
"No, no, grandma, what secrets could I have? You don't even know me yet. I'm planning to go find Sisi, and you're following me straight away. It'll be so awkward for us!"
Niu Cuihua did not give up looking at Li Mingxi, but after hearing her words, she spoke indifferently.
"What's the big deal? Just talk about your own things and leave me alone!"
"If it really doesn't work, I'll be waiting for you on the side. You can say whatever you want. I can't hear you anyway, right?"
Li Mingxi really didn't expect that her grandmother had even thought of a solution!
But thinking about her and Sisi talking there, and her grandmother watching them from the side as if she was following them, Li Mingxi felt embarrassed.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you talking? If this doesn't work, then tell me what you want me to do."
Hearing that there was something wrong with grandma's tone, Li Mingxi quickly started to explain.
"No, grandma, I just imagined that scene in my mind!"
Niu Cuihua became interested after listening to Li Mingxi's words.
"Well, what's wrong?"
In order not to make her grandmother angry, she had no choice but to speak against her will.
"not bad!"
After getting such an answer, Niu Cuihua laughed out loud.
Listening to the laughter of the grandma in the back seat, Li Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief, secretly feeling fortunate that he had finally dealt with the old lady!
Just then, Niu Cuihua spoke again.
"Alright, hurry up and ride your bike. Stop talking. I told you it's still a long way to the county town. Don't let yourself get too tired by then!"
Neither of them spoke for the rest of the journey.
When we finally saw the county town not far ahead, Grandma Niu Cuihua spoke.
"Xiao Xi, go to your second uncle's house first!"
"ah?"
Li Mingxi was concentrating on riding his bike and didn't notice what Niu Cuihua said.
"I say we should go to your second uncle's house first!"
"What are you doing at Second Uncle's house? Grandma? Are you missing Second Uncle?"
Niu Cuihua's face darkened when she heard her granddaughter's words.
"What? What's that got to do with that? Can you speak, kid?"
Li Mingxi didn't understand why this nice grandma was angry. Did she say something wrong?
"What's wrong, Grandma? Isn't it? Aren't you missing your second uncle? Why are you looking for him? Nothing has happened in our family recently."
Niu Cuihua’s granddaughter couldn’t explain it clearly at the moment, and she didn’t want to tell Li Mingxi.
Therefore, she spoke directly and coldly.
"You're just a kid, why do you care so much? Just do whatever I tell you to do!"
When Li Mingxi heard his grandmother's tone change, he dared not say anything and could only do as Niu Cuihua instructed.
So she took her grandmother directly to the staff quarters. It happened that they came at a certain time. When they arrived, Li Aiduang had not yet gone to work.
