"Hey! Liangliang, what brings you here? Did your brother cry?" When Grandma Mei heard that Mei Liang's tone of voice was off, she thought something had happened and quickly went out from behind the counter to find Mei Liang.
As soon as the crowd parted, Grandma Mei saw her little grandson being held safely in her older grandson's arms, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly reached out and took her little brother Mei from him.
“My little brother is here. Let him pee for you… no, a whole bucket of pee. It’ll definitely smell just like cloth ration coupons.” Mei Si pointed at Mei’s little brother in Grandma Mei’s arms and said to Yu Xiaomei.
“Puff! Hahahaha…”
"This kid is hilarious!"
"All pee tastes the same! Why don't you pee another pee, hahahahaha..."
"This little girl even said a bucket of urine. She doesn't know that urine is given in terms of being poured out."
Ever since Yu Xiaomei smelled the cloth ration coupons, she had no other thoughts. All she wanted to do was go back and take a shower. She felt that her hands, which had just handled the coupons, still smelled of something fishy.
"Are you Grandma Mei? I'm so sorry, I didn't expect to run into you..." Xu Jianmin remembered his father saying that he and Uncle Mei had a very good relationship, and he couldn't let this small matter cause them to become estranged.
Xu Jianmin: Grandma Mei actually works at the store! If I want to buy good wine, it's much more convenient to find her than to wait in line!
"Xu Jianmin! Didn't you say these were your tickets? You're really something, daring to lie to me!" As soon as Yu Xiaomei's nausea subsided, she started to settle scores with Xu Jianmin.
"No, I'm not lying to you, these are indeed my family's tickets." Xu Jianmin quickly turned around to coax Yu Xiaomei.
"Pah! You don't even have any kids, so where did this urine smell come from? Do you think it was you who peed there? It's disgusting!" Yu Xiaomei pushed Xu Jianmin aside and walked out, feeling utterly humiliated today.
I thought it was a ticket from my partner's family, but it turns out it wasn't from them at all.
"Hey! You haven't taken the tickets yet! Are you still making the clothes?" Grandma Mei quickly reminded them that they hadn't taken the tickets when she saw the two of them about to leave.
Grandma Mei: What kind of taste does Old Xu's son have? How could he have chosen such a troublesome partner?
"It smells awful, I don't want it!" Yu Xiaomei shouted with great determination.
Grandma Mei put the ticket away, planning to talk to her son when she got home that evening to see what to do with it and whether it counted as part of the return.
Mei Liang went to the side and listened to someone recount the whole story. When he came back, the way he looked at Mei Si was strange.
"What are you worried about?"
"Sis, what's wrong with your nose? It's different from everyone else's."
"What's different?" Mei Si's eyes turned cold as she began to consider how to shut Mei Liang up.
"You have a nose like a dog! You can smell that it's our ticket. You're really amazing."
“Oh~!”
Mei Si glanced at Mei Liang and decided to ignore him.
When Mei Liang got home that evening, he excitedly recounted how his sister had managed to snatch back the cloth ration coupons, completely oblivious to his father's increasingly dark expression.
"Mom, you didn't see it, that woman's face turned blue with anger."
"Mei Liang, stop talking and eat." Although Mei's mother felt relieved, she quickly gave her son a wink, signaling him to look at Mei's father's expression, as Mei's father was about to lose his temper.
"I'll be done talking soon, then I'll eat." Mei Liang didn't understand what his mother meant and was about to continue telling the story of what happened next.
"Smack!" Dad Mei slammed the chopsticks down on the table.
"Are you going to eat or not? If not, get out!!"
Mei's father glared at Mei Liang and said.
Mei Si stared intently at her father's nostrils; they seemed a little bigger than usual.
"Eat! Eat now." Mei Liang was so startled that he trembled all over and quickly and quietly sat down to eat.
“…Waaah! I’m so scared…” Little Mei, sitting in his mother’s lap, was startled and only realized he needed to cry after a moment of stunned silence.
“Mei Wenhua! What are you trying to do? Look how scared Jianjian is! Oh oh oh~! Jianjian, don’t be afraid, Mommy’s here.” Mei’s mother quickly picked up her son and stood up, taking pictures as she walked.
"Xiao Hua, what's wrong with you? If you want to act tough, go do it outside! Go find your Brother Xu! Why are you taking it out on the child?" Grandma Mei patted her chest, her heart pounding from her son's loud shout.
"I...Mom, are you alright? I didn't mean to." When Grandma Mei kept patting her chest, Dad Mei knew that she was also frightened.
"Waaah~ Waaah..." Little Mei cried intently, and no amount of coaxing from her mother could soothe him.
Mei Si felt her head starting to spin again. She looked at the food on the table and began to consider whether to go out and hide for a while, or just endure it and finish eating.
"Jianjian, don't be afraid, Mom will help you hit Dad, hit him hard." Mei's mother carried her son to Mei's father's side and slapped him on the back.
"Smack!"
"Wah...hiccup! Waaah waaah..." Little Mei paused, looked at his father, and continued crying.
For Mei Si, that meal with Little Mei meant that he had hope of stopping!
"Jianjian, let me help you!"
Mei Si reached out her wicked little hand towards her father.
