Your Grandma Loves Me Too Much (3)
Weekend arrived again.
As usual, Jiang Xiaoman went with Yu Qingshi to his house.
This time, even though she had already come here so many times and was familiar with the place, she still made very exaggerated expressions.
“Wow! It’s so beautiful here!”
“Wow! This looks so good!
“Wow! I haven’t seen this little goldfish for a few days, and it has so grown big now!”
Yu Qingshi faintly glanced at her and said, “The one from last time had died. Dad said that the Feng Shui was not good, so he replaced it with a bigger fish… Don’t you see that the color is different?”
“Oh, I noticed.”
“???”
“Good friends should always praise each other.”
Jiang Xiaoman always had a lot of weird tenets, where did she even learn it from?
Yu Qingshi couldn’t praise her with such an exaggerated expression and tone. He didn’t know what to praise her for. After being silent for a long time, he whispered, “… very cute.”
“I know, but thanks.” Jiang Xiaoman was very stinky. Uncle also praised her like a fairy that descended to the world, the prettiest girl around, the flower of the village. In comparison, Yu Qingshi really did not know how to compliment people. Oh well, it didn’t matter. She was already happy as long as she was praised.
“You’re welcome.”
Sure enough, after complimenting each other, the mood improved a little bit.
This time, Xiaoman did not come here empty-handed.
Jiang Xiumei prepared a bag for her containing a lot of food.
These were all things that Jiang Xiumei made, snacks from the countryside.
They could not compare in material things, so they could only rely on the mind.
This bag contained food that Jiang Xiumei learnt how to make. It was not easy to find them in the city.
Jiang Xiumei had to go back to the village to get some of the ingredients; the process was very tedious.
Yu Qingshi watched her take things out one by one from the bag. Smelling the aroma of food, he asked eagerly, “What are these?”
“Food.” She said mysteriously. “Grandma said you definitely haven’t eaten these before, they’re very delicious! They’re very tasty and nutritious. After you eat them once, you’ll definitely want more!”
“……”
To be honest, Yu Qingshi was a little scared.
He was a little suspicious of the food he was going to eat. He didn’t dare to ask, but he also didn’t dare to not eat them.
Because Jiang Xiaoman had already shoved it in front of his mouth.
If he didn’t eat it, she would definitely cry.
Yu Qingshi’s eyes were wet, and with an ‘aaann’, he ate a piece of greenish thing that he did not know what it was made of.
Munch munch. He chewed a few times.
It was a bit sticky, and had the fragrance of rice and plants.
It seemed to be quite normal, not made of weird stuff.
The tears in Yu Qingshi’s eyes were forced back.
He asked, “What is this?”
“Mugwort rice cake1.” Jiang Xiaoman ate one too and said with an unclear voice, “It’s very delicious.”
So far, so good.
The weight in his heart was relieved.
The glutinous rice cake tasted quite good. Jiang Xiumei considered that a child’s mouth was not very big and deliberately made them marble-sized, and Yu Qingshi ate a few of them at once.
After that, he tried something that was crunchy and fragrant.
It somewhat resembled crispy corners2, but was very fragrant.
Because the first dish was normal, Yu Qingshi felt confident and bold. He thought that it was delicious and ate a few more.
After eating them, he remembered to ask, “What is this one?”
Jiang Xiaoman liked this one very much. Munch munch munch, she was eating it with satisfaction and casually said, “Climbing Monkey.”
“What is a Climbing Monkey?”
“They’re cicada shells.”
Yu Qingshi’s face turned green. He felt something was wrong when he heard cicada, but still struggled to ask. “Cicada… cicada shells?”
“That’s right.”
Blergh.
The thing in his mouth was no longer fragrant.
Jiang Xiaoman said, “Hurry up, this is very delicious. Grandma took a long time to catch them. She said they’re also medicine. After eating them, your ears would be sharp and your eyes bright. If it was not for you, she wouldn’t go through so much effort to catch them.”
Yu Qingshi’s tears fell. “Grandma… really loves me too much.”
?Ding Dong! Made Yu Qingshi cry once, bonus: +5 points]
?Points have arrived. Balance -550?
Jiang Xiaoman earned a lot of points this time, and finally there was only that much debt left.
She got points and had something delicious to eat. She was very happy and started munching again.
Eating good food, she was very happy.
Yu Qingshi wouldn’t eat, so she was the one who finished them. Usually, she wanted to eat them but couldn’t. Only because of Yu Qingshi did she get to eat them again.
It was very delicious. Jiang Xiaoman had a very happy day.
Meanwhile, for Yu Qingshi, one day felt like a year.
The two played together, and when Xiaoman went home in the evening, there was another surprise waiting for her.
Jiang Xing was back.
Not only did he return home, he also brought her a gift.
A pet.
A pig.
He was a real man; he had fulfilled his promise!
