Therefore, she simply tapped Li Mingxi's head with her hand and spoke of Li Mingxi with a look of disappointment.
"You little girl, what are you reading? After all this time, you just want to go to the county town to play, right? If you want to go play, just say it directly! In the end, you gave me such a long way around. What's going on? It's fun to lie to you, right?"
Li Mingxi's face turned red when her grandmother saw through her plan. However, she didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she took Niu Cuihua's arm very naturally and spoke in a coquettish tone.
"No, grandma, I didn't mean to do that, but you see, I haven't been to the county town for several days. It's not good to stay at home all the time, don't you think?"
"Grandma, just agree, okay?"
As she spoke, she unconsciously shook Niu Cuihua's arm.
As a result, Niu Cuihua was extremely determined this time and remained indifferent no matter what Li Mingxi said.
Finally, she spoke directly with a calm expression.
"Okay, I get it. Let me think about it first. We can talk about this later!"
After hearing what grandma said, Li Mingxi's expectation was dashed!
According to grandma's routine, when she says this, it usually means she is unwilling, so what is she waiting for!
Really, seeing grandma like this now, Li Mingxi feels that his hope of going to the county town will eventually become a distant dream!
And so she was in a bad mood until dinner time.
Seeing her like this, Old Man Li spoke in confusion.
"What's wrong with Xiaoxi? She seems so depressed. Old lady, did you say something about her?"
Hearing Old Man Li say this about her, Niu Cuihua threw down the chopsticks in her hand and glared at Old Man Li.
"What did you say?"
Old man Li didn't expect that the old woman would get angry just like that, and she did it in front of the family. She really didn't give him any face at all!
"Talk? Didn't I ask you that? What's wrong? Why aren't you talking? Are you deaf?"
Niu Cuihua frowned and looked at Old Man Li impatiently, showing no respect for Grandpa at all.
Li Mingxi, watching from the side, felt that her grandmother was going a bit too far.
However, this time grandpa learned his lesson. He didn't get angry, but spoke with a smile on his face.
"No, no, I'm just old and slow in reaction!"
When Niu Cuihua heard this, she glared at him, and it looked like she was about to curse at him!
"Xiao Xi, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so unhappy?"
Li Mingxi didn't expect his grandfather to find another way and ask him directly.
So, she looked up at her grandfather and then at her grandmother, okay, she couldn't afford to offend either of them!
"No, sir, I'm fine. I'm just tired from studying."
"If you're tired of studying, go out and take a rest. Let me tell you, you can't study all the time without taking a break. Even if you're a machine, you can't handle it. Look, even the tractors in our brigade need a break!"
"How about this, you take a day off tomorrow!"
When Li Mingxi heard his grandfather let him go out and play, he was ecstatic and immediately looked up at his grandfather with gratitude.
Old man Li also noticed her expression, but continued talking to himself.
"I remember you have a friend who works in a textile factory. It's perfect. Go to the county town tomorrow to visit her. Ask your grandma to give you some money so you can buy a red hairband. Little girl, how can you stay at home all day without going out?"
Listening to his grandfather's words, Li Mingxi was so happy that he wanted to applaud him.
However, before she could be happy for a while, Niu Cuihua spoke.
"Really? You sound nice, just go out and play. But who will you blame if your child doesn't study well? Can you take responsibility for that?"
Old man Li was choked by these words.
Well, he just thought that since Li Mingxi was unhappy, he should go out and have some fun, and he really didn't consider the issue of studying.
But on second thought, it’s not right to just study!
"Now that the news has come down, everyone is studying hard, but Xiaoxi is still out. How much less will she learn than others in a day? How will she make up for the gap when the time comes?"
Listening to his wife's words, Old Man Li nodded subconsciously, and then, after realizing what was going on, he shook his head violently.
When Niu Cuihua saw him like this, she narrowed her eyes and looked at him with scrutiny.
"What? You have a different opinion?"
