However, Jiang Xinyuan did not expect to see Jiang Yi at the door of the bathroom. âDad?â Then, he skillfully turned off the microphone. Now, Jiang Xinyuan was also an expert at turning off microphones. He had learned it from his mother. Otherwise, the netizens would have heard him calling his father a few times previously. âIâm going to wash my hands and peel melon seeds for Mom,â Jiang Xinyuan explained to her father.
âHere, son, this is for you,â Jiang Yi said as he took out a preservation bag containing a handful of melon seeds. âTake this for Mom to eat. I peeled it this morning. â
âNo, you canât do this. Otherwise, Mommy will ask.â Jiang Xinyuan had a smart brain.
âItâs alright. Mommy is carving. Put the melon seeds in your pocket. She wonât notice,â Jiang Yi said as he handed the preservation bag to Jiang Xinyuan.
But Jiang Xinyuan still had doubts. âBut Mommy didnât give me so many melon seeds!
Jiang Yi seemed to have prepared everything. He took out a small bag of melon seeds. âPut this in your pocket too. Sheâll think that you took it from the village chiefâs house.â After saying that, he handed the bag to his son.
Jiang Xinyuan looked at the two packets of melon seeds and nodded. âAlright!â Then, he placed the melon seeds into the two small pockets of his shirt. However, he had another question. âDad, you seem to have been here for a long time. Donât you have to go to work?â
âItâll definitely work this time!â Fu Xin encouraged herself. She didnât know how much she had damaged. Anyway, this Fu character stumped her. Fortunately, Jiang Xinyuan had written a lot for her, so she could carve it as she pleased.
Zhang Nan came to Fu Xinâs side and asked curiously, âHow much have you carved?â
âHere, itâs all on the table. I didnât count it either.â Fu Xin was an impatient person and was a little impatient. âIt really reminds me of when I was in school. At that time, the last name I was most unwilling to write was my surname.â It was already so difficult to write, so it must be even harder to carve it.
âMe too! Itâs not easy to carve the Nan character, but itâs even harder to carve Feng Junâs Jun character. Iâve already wasted a lot of it!â Zhang Nan couldnât help but complain.
âItâs all like this. Huo Ranâs âHuoâ character is especially difficult. Most importantly, his handwriting is crooked. I still have to follow his carvings. Itâs even harder.â Guo Na also complained.
âWho isnât? Itâs fine if all of you have two words, but mine is three words.â Fei Fei also started to complain. Carving words really stumped the few of them.
Jiang Xinyuan sat obediently beside Fu Xin. He took out the melon seeds he had munched on and placed a small handful in his palm. âThis is for you, Mom.â Jiang Xinyuan waved her hand in front of Fu Xin.
âWhen I saw you munching so much just now, I thought you were going to eat it all at once! So itâs for me!â Fu Xinâs heart warmed. Her son was really different from other brats. He was very warm.
âThatâs right! Mom, eat it! Youâve worked hard,â Jiang Xinyuan said and reached out his hand.
Fu Xin patted the dust off her hands and took the melon seeds, but she didnât eat them. Instead, she divided the melon seeds into two. âLetâs share half each.â
Jiang Xinyuan wanted to decline, but looking into his motherâs eyes, he did not dare to. He was willing to listen to his mother.
After Fu Xin distributed it, she gave half to Jiang Xinyuan. âItâll taste better if you eat it all together!â Then, she poured the melon seeds in her palm into her mouth.
Jiang Xinyuan imitated her and poured it in as well.
. Actually, he had never eaten melon seeds. In his previous life, in order to please the bad woman, he had never eaten snacks. Nuts were no exception.
Jiang Xinyuan felt exceptionally blessed to be able to share with his mother and to have such delicious sunflower seeds.
Fu Xin ate very quickly and finished it after chewing a few times. Jiang Xinyuan, on the other hand, was savoring it.
âBut why are there so many melon seeds?! Thereâs also milk-flavored ones. I didnât taste milk-flavored when I ate them yesterday!â Fu Xin said to herself.
Jiang Xinyuan was a little nervous, and the speed at which he ate the melon seeds slowed down.
âDid you go to the village chiefâs house to ask for it when you went to the washroom just now?â Fu Xin felt that it was possible. Children! They were all greedy, and Little Xinyuan should be no exception.
Jiang Xinyuan smiled embarrassedly and nodded repeatedly. He did not dare to look into his motherâs eyes, afraid that his mother would find out. He was also afraid that his mother would ask again because he did not want to lie to his mother. If he asked again, he might really expose his father..
