Xiao Douzi stared blankly at the small piece of egg cake left in his hand, but did not cry.
Qi Huilan frowned and looked at the little boy who rushed in. The little boy had already put the snack in his mouth and started chewing it with big mouthfuls.
"Xiao Man, who is this kid? Why is he here to steal food from our house?"
Yu Xiaoman said with a grim expression: "This is the grandson of my neighbor. He probably came to play with Xiaodouzi."
As he was talking, the little boy had finished the snack in his hand. He ate the last bite too hastily and almost choked. He stretched his neck as hard as a goose.
Qi Huilan noticed that Xiaodouzi beside her also started to eat the egg cake quickly, with his mouth bulging, as if he was afraid that the little boy would snatch it away again.
Yu Xiaoman also noticed it. She picked up Xiaodouzi and coaxed him, "Xiaodouzi, eat slowly. There is more at home."
The little boy on the ground rolled his eyes and said loudly to Xiaoman, "Aunt, give me the egg cake. I will take my brother out to play."
Xiaodouzi shook his head slightly and chewed the egg cake in his mouth faster.
This reaction is very wrong.
Yu Xiaoman also noticed it and felt very distressed. She wanted to pick the egg cake out of Xiaodouzi's mouth, but Xiaodouzi looked at Yu Xiaoman warily and refused to open his mouth.
"Forget it, Xiaoman, let Xiaodouzi finish eating first." Qi Huilan patted Yu Xiaoman's arm.
Xiaodouzi finished the egg cake in his mouth and quickly put the egg cake in his hand into his mouth.
The little boy on the ground stared at Xiaodouzi with dissatisfaction and repeated what he had just said: "Aunt, give me the egg cake."
Yu Xiaoman was so focused on her son that she didn't care about him at all. She said casually, "Xiaodong, Xiaodouzi won't go out. Go play by yourself today."
Xiaodong said dissatisfiedly, "We have already agreed on it, why don't you go? Then, Auntie, give me the egg cake."
Under normal circumstances, Yu Xiaoman would have given the egg cake to Xiaodong, but after seeing Xiaodouzi's reaction just now, Yu Xiaoman was unwilling to do so.
"Xiaodong, go home first. I have guests at home."
Yu Xiaoman held Xiaodouzi and asked Qi Huilan to go into the house.
Xiaodong also followed in, and even his eyes fell on the bag that Qi Huilan was carrying. He just saw that the snacks were taken out of that bag.
Qi Huilan noticed his gaze and moved the bag in her other hand.
Yu Xiaoman had to say: "Xiaodong, you go home first."
Xiaodong was huffing and puffing and didn't want to leave. Yu Xiaoman felt uncomfortable but couldn't get rid of him, so he finally gave him a piece of egg cake and he left.
"Aunt Qi, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself." Yu Xiaoman felt very embarrassed.
Qi Huilan reminded Yu Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, you are too kind to the neighbor's children."
The child had already snatched a piece of dessert from Xiaodouzi, but Yu Xiaoman actually gave him a piece of egg cake. Yu Xiaoman is too weak.
Even if the other person is a child, you can't be so accommodating.
Yu Xiaoman said helplessly: "When I go to work, Xiaodong's grandmother helps me take care of Xiaodouzi."
Only then did Qi Huilan understand why Yu Xiaoman was so tolerant of Xiaodong.
But Xiaodong's arrogance also indirectly shows that Xiaodouzi must have suffered a lot of grievances in Xiaodong's family.
Qi Huilan was not in a position to comment on these matters. She took out things from her bag: a cotton-padded jacket and a bag of snacks.
"I made this cotton jacket. It's a little big. Let Xiaodouzi try it. This is a snack that Mengmeng's cousin brought from the capital. Let Xiaodouzi try it."
When Xiao Douzi heard the word "dim sum", he licked his lips and looked at Qi Huilan's hand.
"Aunt Qi, you are so nice to me." These two things were given to Xiaodouzi, and Yu Xiaoman couldn't say no.
"When I left last time, you prepared so much food for me."
Qi Huilan put the cotton jacket next to Xiaodouzi's hand and said, "Xiaodouzi, take a look at this and see if you like it."
"Aunt Qi, I don't have any cotton coupons, so I'll get you some cloth coupons." When Yu Xiaoman touched the cotton-padded jacket, he realized how thick it was made by Qi Huilan.
Even though Xiaodouzi was young, he needed a lot of cotton. In addition, Qi Huilan deliberately made the cotton-padded jacket a little bigger, and the cloth and cotton together cost a lot.
"I made this for Xiaodouzi. Why are you giving me a ticket? Last time you made so much food for me, I didn't say I would give you any money or tickets."
Qi Huilan glared and said with dissatisfaction.
"The food doesn't cost much, I made it myself, and these cloth and cotton coupons are hard to find."
Yu Xiaoman was not someone who liked to take advantage of others, so she put Xiaodouzi down and went to get the ticket.
Qi Huilan quickly stopped her and stopped her from taking it.
Xiao Douzi thought the two were fighting, so he reached out to pull Yu Xiaoman: "Mom, Mom..."
Qi Huilan rushed to say, "Xiaoman, hurry up and hug Xiaodouzi, he's about to cry."
Yu Xiaoman first picked up Xiaodouzi and went into the house.
Qi Huilan pushed her down on the stool. "I told you not to be polite, but you are still like this. I wanted to ask you for help, but now you are like this, I am embarrassed to open my mouth."
Yu Xiaoman immediately said, "Aunt Qi, if you need me, just tell me and I will definitely do it."
Qi Huilan nodded and said, "I came here to call you. Let's go to Mengmeng's house for dinner today. We all know that you cook delicious food. Today you are the chef."
"No problem, I'll go shopping now." Yu Xiaoman looked at the clothes on his body and wanted to go into the house to change.
"No, we have everything at home, you don't need to buy anything, just come with me."
Just now, Zhang Meiling and Qi Huilan went out together. Zhang Meiling went to buy something, and Qi Huilan came to see Yu Xiaoman.
Yu Xiaoman immediately went back to the house, changed into clean clothes, and went to the kitchen to get a jar.
Qi Huilan asked her what that was?
Yu Xiaoman smiled and said, "This is the dried fish I made. Take it over and make some braised fish for everyone."
Qi Huilan waved her hand, but Yu Xiaoman rushed over and said, "Aunt Qi, these are all things I made myself. They are not expensive at all. You can't stop me from taking them."
Yu Xiaoman had already said everything, so Qi Huilan had no choice but to say, "I'll let you take it. You hold Xiaodouzi and I'll take the jar."
Yu Xiaoman carefully handed the jar to Qi Huilan, then locked the door and pushed the cart out together.
At the door, Yu Xiaoman saw Xiaodong’s grandmother taking Xiaodong outside to bask in the sun. The smile on his face froze, and he just greeted them and walked away.
She had chosen Xiaodong's grandmother to help take care of the child because she was clean and welcoming, but Xiaodong had just snatched Xiaodouzi's snacks, so she was afraid that Xiaodouzi would do the same when he was at their house.
A few days ago, Xiaodong's grandmother told her that Xiaodouzi had grown big enough to eat some snacks, and she even bought a pound of snacks and left them at Xiaodong's house. Now it seems that no one knows who has eaten those snacks.
She bought snacks for her own son, not for other people's children.
