Cao Bamei said: "Well, your aunt Qing'er's family is hosting a birthday party for the two brothers today. You are inviting the family members over for dinner. What are your plans? Do you want to go over and join in the fun?"

When Xiuxiu heard this, she paused in her movements and turned to look at Cao Bamei.

"Mom, if you didn't tell me earlier that we were going to have a birthday party today, at least you should have come over yesterday to tell me about it, so that I could be well prepared!"

Xiuxiu's words were full of complaints.

Cao Bamei's smile was a little apologetic.

"To be honest, Mom, I only found out about it last night. I couldn't come over to tell you at night. I can only tell you this morning."

Cao Bamei explained, "Besides, if you plan to go back and join in the fun, you don't need to prepare anything. I have all the noodles, brown sugar, fabrics, etc. ready at my place."

"It's just that you wrap a red envelope and then go over to have a lively meal. Xiu'er, what do you think?"

Cao Bamei's original intention must be to hope that even if Xiuxiu gets married, she can cut off all contact with the other families of Lao Yang's family, but if there is anything going on between the third family and the Luo family, it's best to go there.

why?

The reason is very simple. Xiuxiu's father, Yongjin, has always been the shopkeeper in the Luo family's restaurant.

Yang Yongjin is already thirty-seven and is about to become a father-in-law. At this point in his life, it is definitely impossible for him to go out and make a living.

For the rest of his life, if nothing unexpected happens, he should be working as a shopkeeper in a restaurant in Wanghai County.

Even if you go out to make a living, there is nothing better than being a shopkeeper in a county restaurant.

Therefore, in this case, although Yongjin and Qing'er are cousins, his relationship with the Sun family is also close.

However, we should not neglect the kindness that should be done.

Since Yongjin lost the shopkeeper of the county restaurant, he had no other job.

And Qing'er lost the shopkeeper of the county restaurant. If she posted a notice casually, it would take half a day to find a bunch of people to come over and take over.

That's the difference.

Therefore, Cao Bamei looked at Xiuxiu expectantly.

However, Xiu Xiu thought for a moment and shook his head gently.

"Mom, I'm different now than before. I don't want to go back to Changping Village to join in the excitement. I think there are too many people and it's so noisy!"

"Ah? That's it..."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Cao Bamei's eyes.

You have grown up in such an atmosphere since you were a child, "But when you were a child, didn't you like your favorite family to hold banquets, and everyone would swarm over to eat from a big pot?"

Not only did I not feel noisy at that time, I also felt that I would never have enough!

"Mom, this is the same as the other, didn't I say it before!" Xiu Xiu seemed to be very dissatisfied with Cao Bamei's ability to understand.

While she was stirring the egg and leek pancakes in the pot, she said: "Besides, the water thrown by the married daughter. Sister Qing'er and I were both married outside the old Yang family. In my generation, we are even further apart."

It’s my great-granddaughter’s generation.”

"So I think it doesn't matter whether I go back or not. Besides, if I go back to attend the reunion birthday party this time, I'll be embarrassed if I don't go to other rooms next time! Everyone

They say I favor one over the other."

Cao Bamei nodded: "Xiu'er, what you said is indeed reasonable."

"However, this Luo family is different from other families after all. Don't forget that our current situation is all because of your sister Qing'er's care."

"Your father works as a shopkeeper in a restaurant, and your sister Qing'er directly lets him participate in the dividends, which is equivalent to being the second boss!"

"Over the years, I have continued to earn monthly wages and dividends from the restaurant, and this is how I have accumulated the wealth that I have today, and this is how you can marry into the Li family with great honor."

"To put it bluntly, you, sister Qing'er, are our parents. If our parents have something to do, why don't we go over and join in the fun?"

Cao Bamei didn't mention the words "food, clothing, and parents". When she mentioned Xiuxiu, she felt full of physical and mental discomfort.

"Mom, the more this happens, the less I want to go back, and the less I can go back!"

"When I go back, what will people think of me? I must think that I am sticking up and licking Aunt Qing'er and the others. I am married now. I am the daughter-in-law of the Li family. I also have my dowry, and so does Li Wei.

As long as I have the strength, I just want to live my own little life, be content with what I have, and don’t care about anything else, so I’m tough-minded and don’t plan to go to the Luo family anymore!”

Cao Bamei fell silent after hearing Xiuxiu's words.

It's not that she has nothing else to say to refute, it's that she feels that any refutation seems to have lost its meaning at this moment.

"If the three girls, Ju'er, Xiaojie and others come over, won't you come over too?" Cao Bamei finally asked.

Xiu Xiu shook her head again: "It's their business if they want to lick it, it has nothing to do with me. Anyway, I made up my mind not to go!"

The corner of Cao Bamei's mouth twitched a few times because Xiuxiu actually used the word "lick".

This is really unacceptable.

"Then according to what you say, your father and I are also licking your Aunt Qing'er?" Cao Bamei asked again as the smile on her face cooled down little by little.

Xiuxiu did not respond directly to this statement.

But it's not difficult to tell from her expression that she really thinks so deep down!

Cao Bamei shook her head, as if something was blocking her heart, making her unable to breathe.

But she still refused to give up and asked with the last bit of luck: "Even if it's for your parents, wouldn't you go to Luo's house for a meal?"

Xiuxiu irritably banged the spatula in her hand against the side of the pot, "Mom, are you finished? Don't be morally kidnapped, okay? You'll make things very difficult for me!"

Cao Bamei was completely disappointed.

She grabbed a handful of pine feathers and threw them into the stove, and finally added a handful of firewood to Xiu Xiu.

Then, he patted the stained clothes on his pants and stood up, "Okay, I won't make it difficult for you. You can get busy first. I'm going back!"

Xiuxiu sat on the stool and did not move. She was obviously still breathless!

Cao Bamei walked a few steps and suddenly stopped and saw a pile of chicken feathers in the corner of the kitchen.

Her eyes widened, she walked over and pulled it a few times with her feet.

"Is this the feather of my reed chicken?" she asked Xiuxiu in surprise.

Xiu Xiu raised her head, glanced at the ground, and nodded confidently: "Yes, my mother's eyesight is really good, she can recognize this!"

"How did the reed chickens I raised end up with you? Could it be you..."

Cao Bamei recalled what Xiuhong had said, saying that Xiuxiu had gone back to her parents' home in the morning on the day before she opened the mountain.

"Yes, I went back and caught him the day before yesterday." Xiuxiu did not deny this at all, and did not even dodge her eyes.

"The gastrodia in my house..."

"I also got the Gastrodia elata."

"You didn't even say hello, why did you run back to get those things?" Cao Bamei asked suppressing her anger.
