After pouring the water, Sister-in-law Hao originally intended to wash Sisi's face directly, but then she remembered what Aunt Mei had said last night, so she decided to see first whether Sisi could wash her face by herself.
After pouring the coconut flakes into the water, I first tentatively extended a finger to test the water temperature. Seeing that the temperature was acceptable, I started rolling up my sleeves.
Because of Sisi's height, Sister-in-law Hao simply placed the washbasin on the ground for her to wash.
Ye Si squatted down and splashed water to wet her chubby face, then began to carefully scrub her large face, not missing any corner.
"Pfft!" Sister-in-law Hao almost burst out laughing when she saw Sisi's serious little face.
Sisi's chubby little hands looked especially small on her chubby face. Don't underestimate her small hands, she washes them very carefully, and when she gets to the area around her eyes, she even knows to close her eyes.
Sister-in-law Hao nodded, thinking that her sister-in-law's family had raised Sisi very well. If she weren't so old, she would want to have another little girl, as she was so adorable.
"Mao!" After washing the coconut flakes, he reached out and made a grabbing motion in the air, asking for a towel.
Because her eyes were still wet, Ye Si didn't dare to open them immediately. She could only wait for Sister-in-law Hao to understand her meaning and put the towel in her hand.
"Come here, here it is, take it!" Sister-in-law Hao folded Sisi's little towel and put it in her hand.
After wiping her chubby face, Ye Si became a completely different person. No, it should be said that Ye Si, who had once again been "possessed by a genius," entered a state of studying again.
"How do you pronounce it?" Ye Si followed Sister Hao into the kitchen and asked, pointing to the white, soft thing in Sister Hao's hand.
"Huh? What is that? How do you pronounce it?" Sister-in-law Hao kept working with her hands, rolling the dough into a large flatbread with a rolling pin, and glanced at the little girl tugging at her pants.
"Hmm... what is this?" Ye Si frowned and asked again.
"Hey! This is noodles. Your auntie is making noodles for you today!" Sister-in-law Hao finally understood what the little girl meant and replied with a smile.
"Noodles noodles noodles noodles noodles..." Coconut thought this sentence was a bit long, so it would be better to repeat it in segments.
"Yes, yes, noodles! You see, Auntie will turn it into noodles in a little while." Sister-in-law Hao nodded, thinking that the little girl was happy to have noodles to eat.
"Auntie is making noodles for you today... Auntie is making noodles for you today... Auntie is making noodles for you today..."
"..." Sister-in-law Hao's smile froze, realizing something was amiss. Could this be what her sister-in-law meant by "learning to speak"?
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes... Look, Auntie will turn it into noodles, turn it into noodles..."
Sister-in-law Hao's smile faded. For the entire hour she was making breakfast, she had been listening to little Sisi buzzing around like a fly in the outhouse...
She no longer dares to speak casually with Sisi. When Sisi asks a question, she tries her best to answer the question directly.
When Mei's parents saw the stiff expression on Hao's sister-in-law's face, they understood immediately. They guessed that Hao's sister-in-law had been pestered by her daughter for quite some time.
"Who are you giving a hard time to this morning?" Brother Hao was displeased. He felt that Aunt Mei had finally come all this way, and Sister-in-law Hao dared to give her such a hard time. What? Not welcome?
"No, brother, you've misunderstood sister-in-law, it's..." Mei's mother was afraid the couple would start arguing, so she wanted to explain the reason to Brother Hao.
"If you're so capable, then you do it! Sisi, your uncle is amazing. If you don't understand anything, just ask your uncle!" Sister-in-law Hao rolled her eyes and handed Sisi, the "fly," directly to Hao Dagang.
"What kind of aunt are you? You said you were going to take Sisi to the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday, and you changed your mind overnight? You didn't even pretend..." Brother Hao was getting a little anxious. He felt that Sister-in-law Hao wasn't usually such a tactless person. What was wrong with her today? Did she want to start a fight?
"If you're so capable, then you try... Your uncle is amazing, your uncle is amazing... If there's anything you don't understand, just ask your uncle, just ask your uncle... What kind of sister-in-law are you..."
Before Brother Hao could even utter his national curse, he was stunned by the incessant chatter of the little mouth.
"Hmph! You think you're so capable? You'll be the one taking care of Sisi today!" Seeing her brother Hao get the short end of the stick, Sister-in-law Hao felt refreshed.
"What's wrong with this girl?" Grandpa Hao came back from his stroll outside and was a little confused as he watched his granddaughter talking nonstop.
"Chanting scriptures!" Grandma Hao said, pursing her lips.
"Chanting scriptures, chanting scriptures, chanting scriptures..."
"..." Grandma Hao suddenly regretted her loose tongue. She was about to stop, but because of her words, she would have to endure it for a while longer.
After finishing breakfast, Mei's parents didn't even dare to rest; they quickly jumped on their bicycles and sped off.
"Let's leave this afternoon... What's the rush?"
"..."
After a day of being tormented by coconut flakes, Grandma Hao decided at dinner time to have Sister-in-law Hao take Mei Si to the supply and marketing cooperative the next day.
"Mom, it's not that I don't want to take care of her, it's just that I'm not the only one at the supply and marketing cooperative. Sisi's mouth is so sharp, if she goes there..." Sister-in-law Hao was in a dilemma. Sisi's mouth really would affect her work.
"You're always giving bad advice. Sisi should stay at home. What if she gets into trouble if she goes to the supply and marketing cooperative with the eldest son's wife?" Grandpa Hao glared at Grandma Hao and made the decision that Sisi would be taken care of by the two of them from now on.
Sister-in-law Hao glanced gratefully at Grandpa Hao, finally putting her mind at ease. If this girl had gone to the supply and marketing cooperative with her, she might have really lost her job.
From then on, Grandma Hao and Grandpa Hao began their exciting life of wits and courage in their battles with coconut flakes.
"How do you pronounce it?" Coconut asked, pointing to the window.
"Snoring..." Grandma and Grandpa Hao pretended to be asleep.
