Chapter 8 Fruit Becomes Popular
Liu Hui's mother glanced at Liu Hui indifferently:
"Go ask your own wife..." He paused, as if he felt that his tone was too harsh, but he couldn't lose face, so his expression softened a little, and he added:
"I asked Xiaojuan to have dinner with me, and she just bought some strawberries and cherries. Why did you have to give me such a bad look?" The more Liu Hui's mother talked, the more unhappy she felt.
What's wrong with her? She just used her pension to buy some things. Although they were a bit expensive, they were for the family. She bought them for her sons and their family to eat. Now, her daughter-in-law still has a grudge against her.
Eat if you like, forget it if you don’t want to! Can’t I use my own money?
Then he glared at Liu Hui again, with a sullen face, and said nothing more, concentrating on coaxing his grandson to eat.
Liu Hui: “…”
What's wrong with this? Ye Hui didn't dare to stay here and bother her, so he just smiled awkwardly and laughed:
"Then mom, please take the trouble to feed Xiaojun. I'll call Xiaojuan to eat."
After saying that, he didn't dare to look at his mother again. He opened the door and found his wife lying on the bed wiping tears.
What happened? Did the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a fight?
Liu Hui did not dare to delay and walked forward and asked cautiously: "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Huang Juan felt wronged when she talked about this, and somehow her tears flowed even more happily:
"It's our mom who spent nearly a thousand dollars to buy expensive fruits today. Look what she bought - cherries. Think about where cherries come from now. They are still blooming. There are so many of them in my hometown, and I don't know when they will be on the market. I don't know how much pesticides they used to ripen them."
As she spoke, she became more and more upset. "I talked to my mom and told her to buy it. Our family can afford it. I told her to buy it from regular supermarkets in the future. The products sold by these small vendors are so unhygienic! Besides, our son is so young and has a weak stomach. How can he eat these things sprayed with pesticides? Then my mom got angry."
As he said this, he turned over, extremely angry!
Liu Hui groaned inwardly, being stuck in the middle he didn't know what to say. If he said something wrong, he wouldn't be helping anyone.
I had to be careful to accompany her: "Okay, okay, don't be angry, our mom is also kind-hearted, she bought this for us to eat, otherwise she is so frugal, how could she buy such expensive fruit"
Listening to what Liu Hui said, although she was still a little upset, she also knew that what he said made sense. She and her mother-in-law usually got along well, but this time his words were indeed a little harsh.
She got up in a depressed mood. She felt a little hungry after half a day.
Seeing that she had thought it through, Liu Hui took her out to meet his mother and said with a smile, "Mom, I heard that you bought some fruits that are not yet on the market. Xiaojuan is worried that you will suffer a loss and feel uncomfortable later. She is afraid that you will get sick from eating them. She also knows she was wrong and shouldn't be angry with you."
As he said this, he touched Huang Juan next to him with his arm, motioning her to go down the stairs and talk.
"Mom, please don't be angry. I was really anxious just now and my words were a bit harsh. Don't take it seriously." Huang Juan had a good relationship with her mother-in-law. She walked up and sat next to Liu Hui's mother and shook her hand.
Liu Hui's mother's expression eased and she snorted, "I know. Besides, everyone is buying it. I saw that this thing is really good, so I bought some and brought it home to try."
Thinking that the fruit I bought had not been eaten yet, Aunt Liu stood up, washed it and brought it out as if to prove it, "Look, what delicious fruit!"
Liu Hui originally thought he had been cheated and had bought the wrong thing, so he glanced nonchalantly at the fruits that Liu Ma had placed on the table. The freshly washed fruits still had water droplets hanging on them. The fruits were large and bright, rosy and plump, with a strong fragrance, and looked extremely delicious!
I kept thinking, it looks good, why not give it a try
Before Huang Juan could stop him, Liu Hui had already taken a bite of the strawberry.
Liu Hui...
This is so delicious!
He finished the rest of the mouthful directly, the juice splashed in his mouth, bringing a sweet taste. Before he swallowed it, he picked up another strawberry, one bite at a time, the rich strawberry fragrance filled the air.
Huang Juan looked so surprised that she didn't even notice her son picking up some strawberries and eating them.
Is it really that delicious?
Seeing this, Liu Hui's mother looked very proud, as if she had finally saved her face, and she straightened her back three points.
"I said okay! You guys are just too cautious. This is organic and that is imported. I've been shopping in the market for so many years, how can I not tell what's good and what's bad?"
Talking about the fruits she bought, Liu Hui's mother was proud again: "You don't know, I was lucky. There were only a few left when I got here, and I bought them all. There was a long queue behind me who hadn't bought any. Some were slow to act and thought the fruits were too expensive, so they were all sold out because of the hesitation."
"Besides, the boss said that the fruit was imported from saplings and had been grown for several years before it bore fruit. She ate several of them herself, so we bought them."
I've been talking for a long time but no one is here to support me
Looking back, I saw my son and daughter-in-law holding strawberries and cherries in their hands and eating them happily one by one.
We didn't buy much in the first place, and now the plate is almost empty. My grandson's little face is covered with food, and he holds the strawberries in both hands and keeps biting them.
The son still looked smug, "Mom, is there anything else?"
It seems that what she said was in vain!
Liu Hui's mother rolled her eyes and said, "I only bought one or two kilograms, and you ate them all. How much is left?"
"Where did you buy it? Let's buy more next time." He was so greedy that he ate a few big strawberries and cherries, but his mouth was still not full. Didn't he spend nearly a thousand yuan on it? How come it's gone?
Liu Hui's mother became even angrier.
"Eat, eat, eat. It's nearly a thousand dollars, and it's all gone in one meal. You say buy, so buy. The way you eat, you'll spend at least several thousand a day." What a spendthrift.
Suddenly, the grandson burst into tears, "Grandma, my Guoguo, mommy ate it..."
Huang Juan slowly put down the bitten strawberry she had taken from her son's hand and carefully put it back. Still unable to resist, she took it back and took a bite before putting it back into her son's hand. Pretending not to see the condemning look of Liu Hui's mother, she calmly went to the kitchen to wash her hands.
Liu Hui’s mother: “…”
"Buy it. Go buy it tomorrow. Buy a few more pounds so you can eat as much as you want!"
………………
On the other hand, considering that she would need to eat in the future, Ye Zhen planned to buy some other vegetable seeds and some fruit seedlings and tree species to enrich her fruit variety.
Thinking that the dormitory room was not big and it would be inconvenient for my roommate to come back when the time came, I decided to sell it once or twice, then pack up, get my diploma and go back home.
Ye Zhen: “!”
She remembered what she had forgotten! Her paper!
Now I didn’t have the heart to plant anything. I turned on my computer and checked the news from the thesis group. The defense time had been confirmed, and there were still more than ten days left.
After contacting the ready-made clothing studio, Ye Zhen found that the clothes were almost ready. Then he remembered that his thesis required ready-made clothing effects, so he needed to find someone to take the photos.
Instead of going to two places for one thing, I asked the studio and they said they could take the photo shoot. After we negotiated the price, I directly transferred the deposit and the photos would be sent to me in two days.
After the clothes were solved, Ye Zhen recalled the requirements and content of the thesis, and quickly logged into the website to search for relevant information and literature.
……………………
By the time Ye Zhen finished writing, revising and checking the article, several days had passed. He was extremely busy during those days.
The ancient books and secret methods of cultivating immortals are not so troublesome!
I didn't expect that she still had to write a thesis even though she was cultivating immortality. She couldn't stand the torture of the thesis!
I was exhausted, but I felt relieved after sending the paper to my teacher.
I was hungry and didn't buy any other vegetable seeds. I've been eating cherry tomatoes and egg noodles these days. No matter how delicious it is, I'll throw it up.
Tomorrow, she must go buy new seeds. She doesn't want to see cherry tomatoes for a while!
