She deliberately acted nonchalantly and said, "I wasn't talking to you. I was reading a book last night, and just now I remembered the plot and said a line from the main character."
Wei Mingshen muttered, "What book are you reading? You're so engrossed in it..."
Su Xueli wiped her sweat, thankfully I had a sudden inspiration.
"Knock knock!" Another knocking sound came from outside.
Startled, Wei Mingshen leaped away and hid behind a haystack.
Su Xueli took a deep breath, complaining in her heart, "My dear mother, what are you doing here again? You can't even let me have a peaceful meal."
She opened the door and saw, "Sister Embroidery!"
Outside the gate, Lü Xiuhua stood holding several steamed buns and said, "Xueli, these are the leftover steamed buns from today's sale, so I'll give them to you."
Su Xueli quickly said, "Oh, Sister Xiuhua, I feel embarrassed that you always think of me."
Lü Xiuhua said, "What's the big deal? It's not like I bought it. You're just a young girl, you don't eat much anyway, so it saves you the trouble of cooking."
Su Xueli thanked her and accepted the gift. Seeing Dou Dou looking up at her with his little face, she pulled Dou Dou over and said, "Sister Xiuhua, we still have some fried dough pieces at home. Let him eat with us today, and I'll take him home after we finish eating."
Little Bean quickly said, "Mommy, I want to eat Auntie's fried dough sticks."
Lu Xiuhua stopped pretending and said with a smile, "Then listen to your aunt, eat your fill and go home quickly, don't bother your aunt."
"Okay!" Little Bean replied and skipped into the courtyard.
Lü Xiuhua smiled and turned to leave, but suddenly she stopped and asked, "Xueli, why are you on the courtyard gate in broad daylight?"
Su Xueli smiled and said, "I just moved here, so it's better for a young lady to be careful. Also, my dog likes to run around, so I lock the door to keep him from going out."
Lü Xiuhua said "Oh" and left.
Su Xueli glanced in the direction of the haystack, suppressed a laugh, and went back to the courtyard gate, pulling Xiaodoudou along as they walked inside. At the same time, she called out towards the haystack, "Come out, it's not my mother!"
"I came out a long time ago," a voice came from the kitchen.
"Hahaha..." Su Xueli walked into the kitchen and saw Wei Mingshen, who couldn't hold back anymore and squatted down to laugh.
The main reason is that Wei Mingshen's movements were too fast, almost like lightning.
Wei Mingshen said irritably, "Is it that funny?"
"That's hilarious, hahaha..."
Wei Mingshen sighed helplessly, looked at the little boy staring at him with wide eyes, and asked, "What's your name?"
"DouDou," he said in a childish voice.
"DouDou, tell your aunt not to just laugh, but to look at the pot."
DouDou then pulled Su XueLi, "Auntie, I asked you to check the pot."
Su Xueli looked up and saw that the water in the pot had already boiled.
She quickly stopped laughing, placed the buns on the cutting board, poured the pickled cabbage shreds into the pot, stirred them with chopsticks, then added a handful of noodles and covered the pot with the lid.
She introduced Dou Dou's family to Wei Mingshen, and then said, "Sister Xiuhua is very kind. We'll be neighbors from now on, so we should get along well."
Wei Mingshen said, "Yes, after all, you're all alone here, so you must get along well with your neighbors, but you also have to be careful and keep your distance from men."
Su Xueli said, "I know. By the way, let's have a steamed bun first. The steamed buns my older sister makes are delicious."
She knew he had a big appetite and got hungry quickly; he'd been startled twice that morning, so he must have expended a lot of energy...
