Who taught you?
With a mother like Liu who is so careful about food, how could Xiaoman'er possibly say that the food wasn't good? The food was made with grains, and there were all sorts of wild vegetables on the table. Could it be that it wasn't as good as the wild vegetable dumplings Liu made?
"Grandma..."
When Xiaoman'er saw Yue Jiuyue's expression change, she became a little scared and tentatively reached out her little hand, wanting to hold Yue Jiuyue's hand.
“Little girl, you’re so young, you probably don’t understand. Food is very precious and should never be wasted! Come on, finish the rice in your bowl first, and then I’ll take you home to find your mother.”
Yue Jiuyue shoved the wooden spoon into Xiaoman'er's hand, a forced smile on her face, and whispered her advice.
Little Man'er didn't dare to refuse, and was on the verge of crying. The young women, wives, and old ladies sitting at the table all felt that Grandma Yue Jiuyue was really too fierce.
Mingming, they had just thought that Xiaoman'er was not a good child. They thought that you could tell what a person would be like at three years old and what a person would be like at seven years old. A girl would get married sooner or later, but Yue Jiuyue's family had spoiled her so much that they thought she would never be able to get married and no one would dare to marry her.
In the blink of an eye, the target of the attack changed again. I wonder if it was jealousy or just jealousy!
"Oh dear, Xiaoman'er is still just a child! Auntie, don't be so harsh. Xiaoman'er doesn't want to eat because the food is bland and not as good as yours. Children just say what they think, it's not worth getting angry over such a small thing!"
"What's wrong with you? You won't even let the kids speak the truth? Look how scared this little girl is, she looks so pitiful!"
"There's nothing we can do. We don't have the emperor's favor, so we can't afford oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. Even adults don't like the bland food, let alone children."
"Little girl, come here and tell Grandma what delicacies you usually eat at home?"
A group of people were watching the drama unfold, and Yue Jiuyue felt an urge to roll up her sleeves and start a fight with them!
Well, she only has one mouth; she can't win an argument with these people. It's more important to educate her eldest granddaughter first.
"Come on, little girl, let's finish our meal first, and then I'll tell you a story, okay?"
Upon hearing the word "story," all of Xiaoman'er's grievances vanished instantly. She switched to a smiling face faster than a Sichuan opera mask-changing act, her eyes sparkling as she asked:
"Grandma, are you really going to tell me a story?"
Having received Yue Jiuyue's nod of approval, Xiaoman'er seemed oblivious to the fact that the food was unappetizing, shoveling large mouthfuls of food into her mouth.
She was eager to hear Yue Jiuyue tell her stories because the stories that Lin Chaodong and Liu Shi, her biological parents, and Lin Chaonan and Lin Chaobei, her uncles, told her were all the same well-known ones, without any originality, and she was tired of them.
Yue Jiuyue was different. Not to mention the cartoons she watched, the idioms and short stories, just the little rabbits, chicks and ducks, she could just make up a few lines and tell them to Xiaoman'er. Xiaoman'er would listen with great interest and always pester Yue Jiuyue to tell her another one. After she finished telling one, she would ask Yue Jiuyue to tell her another one.
"Grandma, I've finished eating!"
Xiao Man'er turned the bowl towards Yue Jiuyue, smiling brightly, and then stared at Yue Jiuyue expectantly. Although she didn't urge her, Yue Jiuyue still had to speed up her eating.
