Niu Cuihua smiled and nodded Li Mingxi.
"Girl, you only know how to say nice things to please others. Okay, I won't say anything more to you. Hurry up and eat!"
As she said this, she picked up the vegetables she had picked on the side and wanted to stir-fry them in the pan.
"Grandma, what are you doing? Is there not enough bread? Otherwise, I'll eat less and save some for you!"
Niu Cuihua waved her hand and refused, "No, you can eat it yourself. I don't like the cake. Vegetable soup is more delicious and warm. I feel choked by the cake!"
Li Mingxi exposed her directly, "What are you so nervous about, Grandma? Do you think I'm a child? How old are you? You just believed my lies?"
"I'm telling you, whether you want to eat this pancake or not, I won't eat it either!"
Niu Cuihua felt uneasy when she saw the determination on her granddaughter's face, but her words remained calm as usual.
"You kid, you've learned to threaten people, haven't you? What's the big deal? Look at all this oil. I can just make some vegetable soup. What's the big deal? Besides, I'm old, not like you young people. This pancake is too oily, it's not good for me to eat it!"
"Didn't you tell me and your grandfather's age that people should eat less oil and salt? What? Did you forget?"
"Okay, stop blocking my work in this room!"
After saying this, she stretched out her arm to pull Li Mingxi out.
She was still muttering, "You girl, you really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. Look at the oil on the bottom of the pot. If I don't make some soup, it will all be wasted!"
"Grandma, that's not what I meant. Anyway, I don't care. If you don't want to eat the pancake, I won't eat it either!"
When Niu Cuihua heard this, she frowned slightly, as if she couldn't understand why her little granddaughter suddenly became disobedient!
Seeing this, Li Mingxi took advantage of his grandmother's inattention and squeezed directly to the front of the pot, blocking Niu Cuihua.
Seeing her like this, Niu Cuihua immediately frowned and asked, "Why are you like this, kid?"
"What's wrong with me? I don't think there's anything wrong. You and my grandfather both eat less oil and salt, but flour isn't something precious. Why can't you eat it? Could it be that our family can't afford flour anymore?"
"If that's the case, I'll never eat eggs again. I'll follow the example of the villagers and sell them all for money!"
"You little girl, why are you like this? I was just trying to save some money. I used a lot of oil and flour to make pancakes for you just now. What's wrong? Are you trying to eat your uncle and his family out of money?"
Having said this, she glanced out the window, and seeing that there was no one around, she spoke in a low voice.
"Your second uncle and his wife have had a hard time. Let them enjoy these good things. We are in the countryside. What can we eat?"
"Okay, be obedient and stop stopping grandma!"
Li Mingxi was still a little dissatisfied and pouted slightly.
"That's the truth, but I just feel uncomfortable. At home, we always eat whatever we want, but why is it different here?"
Hearing this, Niu Cuihua glared at her.
He wanted to make a few more arrangements, but then he thought about how his granddaughter was still young and it was normal that she hadn't considered these things.
"Okay, it's okay. Don't we have some mixed noodles here? Just make a pancake!"
Li Mingxi looked at the small bowl of mixed noodles, then at the pancake in his own bowl, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Grandma, let's eat together. I'm a little choked, so I won't eat the rest. Please make more soup!"
Niu Cuihua knew that her little granddaughter was being filial to her. She felt uncomfortable seeing her eating like this, so she said something that made her choke!
So, she said directly with a stern face, "Okay, grandma knows you're worried about me. It's okay. I don't like eating white flour, so you can eat it yourself. But grandma will make more soup!"
As she said this, she had already put the vegetables into the wok and stir-fried them quickly, followed by a sizzling sound when the oil hit the water!
Seeing Li Mingxi still standing in the room, she couldn't help but ask him to chase her away.
"Okay, hurry up and get out. The room smells too much of cooking fumes. I'll call you when the soup is ready!"
Seeing grandma skillfully stir-frying the vegetables, Li Mingxi opened his mouth and said.
"I don't care. Anyway, I said, if I give it to you, I'll eat it. Otherwise, I'll just throw it away!"
Niu Cuihua didn't expect this girl to be so stubborn. She kept saying she wanted to throw things away. She must be joking. Wouldn't it be a pity to throw away such good things?
Seeing that Li Mingxi was already walking out with the bowl in her hand, fearing that she was really going to pour it out, she didn't care about the food in the pot and quickly stepped forward to stop her.
"Alright, I'll eat it. Alright, alright? I don't know if I owed you something in my past life, but I ended up having to deal with a little ancestor like you!"
As she said this, she snatched the bowl from Li Mingxi's hand and couldn't help but complain.
"This kid, all day long, he really doesn't know how expensive food and oil are. He has so many things, and he just dumps them away. I don't know who he resembles. There are so many children in the family, but none of them is so wasteful!"
Li Mingxi heard his grandmother's complaints and laughed.
"It's all because of you spoiling me, so, grandma, you don't have to complain every day. If you didn't spoil me, I wouldn't be like this. If you have to find someone to scold, scold yourself. It's your fault for spoiling me all day long!"
When Niu Cuihua saw Li Mingxi joking with her, she became so angry that she was about to hit him.
Li Mingxi screamed in fright when he saw this.
"Hey, grandma, there are vegetables in the pot, they will burn!"
Niu Cuihua was so angry that she forgot that there was still food being fried in the pot. When she heard this, she hurried back to the pot and stir-fried it quickly a few times.
However, even though she stir-fried it in time, the dish was still a little mushy.
So she started mumbling again.
"It's all your fault, girl. If it weren't for you, would this dish be mushy? Tell me how we're going to eat it later."
Li Mingxi knew it was her own fault and stuck out her tongue playfully.
"Hey, grandma, I was wrong. Okay, don't be angry. I'll eat the paste, okay?"
Niu Cuihua glanced at her little granddaughter, and seeing that she was still smiling playfully, she snorted coldly.
"Alright, I don't want to see you anymore, get out of here right now. What are you doing in this room? You're just making things worse!"
As she said this, she pushed Li Mingxi out.
"Okay, okay, get out of here right now. I don't want to see you right now!"
Seeing that grandma was really angry, Li Mingxi felt a little panicked. She had indeed gone too far just now, but if she didn't do that, grandma would definitely not want to eat the cake!
This is how she is usually at home. If there is anything delicious, she is always reluctant to eat it. No matter what she says she doesn’t like to eat, Li Mingxi just doesn’t believe that there is anyone who doesn’t like to eat delicious food!
These are all just excuses!
