Chapter 1071 The Taste of Mom
If you sweat a lot, you will inevitably have a sweat smell.
A three-year-old child is at the age of innocence.
They may not be able to distinguish between sour, sweet, bitter and spicy. When they smell an unpleasant smell, they subconsciously attribute it to "stinky".
Children speak without restraint, so why would Wang Xiu bother with Bai Chuan?
However, because Xu Xiangcao was beside him, Wang Xiu was still a little embarrassed.
Seeing Bai Chuan pestering Xu Xiangcao, Wang Xiu took the large package from Xu Xiangcao and said:
"Well, let me do the laundry and you continue playing with him."
Xu Xiangcao was embarrassed to decline:
"That's not good... There are so many here, it will take a while to wash them all."
Wang Xiu smiled and waved his hands:
"It's okay, I'll do it! After we wash it quickly, we can hang it up in the sun. Go ahead and take him to a cool place to play."
"Well, okay then. Thank you, Sister Xiu."
Xu Xiangcao gave the package to Wang Xiu with an air of reluctance, then picked up Bai Chuan and tapped him on the nose:
"Little rascal, can I play with you?"
Baichuan twisted his body and hugged Xu Xiangcao's neck directly.
When Wang Xiu was carrying a large bag of clothes to the front bathroom to wash them, Bai Chuan leaned on Xu Xiangcao's shoulder and said:
"Aunt Vanilla smells so good."
After getting rid of the mess, Xu Xiangcao was in a good mood.
Hearing Bai Chuan say that she smelled good, Xu Xiangcao narrowed her eyes and jokingly asked:
"Is it fragrant? Does it smell good?"
Baichuan nodded, pouted and said seriously:
"It tastes like my mom's, I like it best~"
Xu Xiangcao had just carried Bai Chuan across the hanging flower gate when she was slightly startled when she heard this.
Xu Xiangcao's heart was beating like a drum. She thought of something and couldn't help but go over Bai Chuan's words again in her mind:
——It tastes like mom...
The taste of mom.
Xu Xiangcao's eyes widened slightly, and she gently covered Bai Chuan's mouth and said:
"Don't talk nonsense."
Baichuan looked at Xu Xiangcao with a puzzled expression.
The way she pouts and frowns is exactly the same as her mother's expression when she is angry and loses her temper.
Xu Xiangcao saw it in his eyes, and hurriedly weighed him and coaxed him gently:
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Auntie will go play with you, okay?"
Xu Xiangcao carried Baichuan and continued to walk towards the inner courtyard.
The school is closed for the Mid-Autumn Festival and the children are all at home.
Once Minmin came, Mingxia finally found a companion.
Mingxia called his two brothers over to act as wooden stakes, and pulled Minmin to play rubber band jumping in the shade of the yard.
The yard was bustling with activity, it was extremely lively.
Tang Mei looked at her with a smile on her face, and when she saw Xu Xiangcao come in, she waved to her.
When the others came closer, Tang Mei took Baichuan from Xu Xiangcao's arms, handed him two yuan and said:
"While it's still early, why don't you go to the alley over there and see if there's anyone selling fruit? If there is, buy some. Mangoes are something my kids love."
"I understand, auntie!"
Xu Xiangcao nodded eagerly, but after taking the money and leaving the inner courtyard, she quickly put away her smile.
After looking back unhappily, Xu Xiangcao continued to walk out.
…
In the afternoon, we bought some fruits, washed them, and served them on the table. The children played around for a while and were now tired.
The phone rang and Tang Mei focused on answering it.
The children sat around the coffee table and ate fruit, making a lot of noise.
It wasn't anything special, just a bowl of dates and two plates of grapes.
However, the purple-black skinned grapes are covered with a layer of icing, which not only looks beautiful but also tastes delicious at first glance.
Minmin watched for a while, picked a grape and was about to eat it, when she saw out of the corner of her eye that the aunt holding Baichuan's brother was staring at her.
Perhaps because of her past experience of being bullied in her hometown, Minmin is very good at observing people's words and expressions.
Minmin paused and looked down at the grapes in her hand.
Minmin pursed her small lips slightly, made a choice, and put the grape back on the plate.
Xu Xiangcao glanced at Minmin and curled her lips coldly.
I don’t know where this poor relative came from, but he comes here to beg for money during the festival.
It's tiring enough to take care of a whole family all day long, and now I have to take care of one more. It's so annoying...
"Aunt Vanilla, this grape has skin."
Baichuan lay on the coffee table and listened to his brothers and sisters chatting and laughing for a while, then suddenly plucked a grape and handed it to Xu Xiangcao.
Xu Xiangcao quickly adjusted her expression, stepped forward with a smile and said:
"Grapes have skins. You can eat them by peeling off the skin."
As she spoke, she was about to peel grapes for Baichuan to eat.
But children are naturally curious, and all day long they are either asking why or sharing why.
How could he really want someone to peel grapes for him?
"Oh, I don't want it! I don't want you to peel the grapes!"
Bai Chuan shook his head like a rattle, slapped Xu Xiangcao's hand away, and turned away in time to avoid it:
"Mom said, do your own thing, I want to eat my own grapes!"
Baichuan is not only good at talking, but also good at eating.
Baichuan sucked on the purple-black-skinned grapes and ate several of them. He was captivated by the sweet taste of the fruit and sighed with comfort.
Seeing that several brothers and sisters around her were eating, only Minmin, the sister from my hometown, was sitting there motionless.
A big question mark appeared on Baichuan's small head. He stood up and approached Minmin, his nose almost touching her cheek. He blinked his round eyes and asked sincerely:
"Sister, why don't you eat it? It's so delicious!"
Minmin subconsciously glanced in the direction of Xu Xiangcao, and when she turned her gaze back, she just shook her head and smiled subtly.
Baichuan pouted and couldn't understand.
I thought my sister didn't know how to peel the grapes, but the little elf was very smart and pulled over a plate of grapes.
I plucked one of the grapes, squeezed it until it burst with juice, and handed the bumpy grape flesh to my sister's mouth:
"Sister, try it. It's really sweet and delicious!"
Baichuan pursed his lips and sucked his saliva, almost making himself greedy.
To be honest, the grape flesh was a bit disgusting when it was pinched by the little meaty hands, but Minmin didn't dislike it at all. She lowered her head and put the grape into her mouth.
Minmin curled her eyes and nodded cooperatively:
"Yeah, it's very sweet."
The other children at the table saw this and made fun of Baichuan's adult-like behavior.
Baichuan not only didn't think there was anything wrong, but was encouraged and continued to peel grapes for Minmin with clumsy enthusiasm.
Xu Xiangcao, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore.
If she was facing an adult, Xu Xiangcao might not dare to be negligent.
But when facing a teenager like Minmin, Xu Xiangcao really dared to do it.
Xu Xiangcao didn't want her food to be eaten by an outsider, and she didn't want to see Baichuan and Minmin getting close.
Using the excuse of stopping Bai Chuan from getting grape juice all over his body, he walked over and pulled Bai Chuan aside:
"Alright, little ancestor, stop it! Isn't it said that you should do your own thing? She's already that old, how could she not know what you can do? Look at you, you've got it all over your arm!"
Baichuan is very active and hates being carried around.
Although his father would carry him around on a daily basis, most of the time he would just coax him into playing.
It's different from the aunt carrying him away and then holding his arm to prevent him from moving.
