Monster Tea Party

Chapter 6064 Self-cooked

Xiao's mother repeated what she had just told the old lady to the old man and Xiao's father.

This includes the aftermath of the girl being pushed away from the courtyard by the old woman and then reappearing in the teahouse.

……

What are your thoughts?

The old lady asked.

"Do you think she did it on purpose?"

"Or is it just a coincidence?"

……

The old man and Xiao's father looked at each other.

"……Hard to say."

……

"But whether it was intentional or coincidental..."

The old man seemed thoughtful. "There's nothing we can do to get rid of her."

……

"why?"

The old lady blurted it out.

If you knew the girl was doing it on purpose, why didn't you drive away the person with ulterior motives?
……

What reason do you have for doing this?

The old man looked at the old woman.

“It was perfectly reasonable for you to kick her out of the yard before.”

"She trespassed on private property."

"But in the teahouse, she was a customer."

"Until she did nothing inappropriate..."

"If you kick her out, you're in the wrong."

"They say your big store bullies its customers."

……

The old lady fell silent.

indeed.

The old man's words... make a lot of sense.

……

"...What if she makes a scene because of this?"

The old man shook his head slightly, "How are you going to explain to others why you let her go?"

"Because she smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms?"

"Wouldn't that make more people aware of this?"

……

"...Then we can only let her drink tea."

The old lady muttered.

Fine.

……

"She is a guest."

The old man said in a deep voice, "When she behaves as a proper guest, we can only treat her well."

……

"mom."

Xiao's mother comforted the old lady, "It's alright."

"We just need to keep a close eye on her."

"Just don't let her go to the backyard."

……

"Ah."

The old lady nodded.

"...Why are you so curious?"

The old lady grumbled under her breath.

"What business is it of yours if other people's plum blossoms smell?"

……

Xiao's mother smiled bitterly.

no way.

some people……

They have a naturally strong sense of curiosity.

……

Xiao's mother was somewhat worried.

After thinking about it, she decided to call Xiao Xiao.

It's not about asking Xiao Xiao to come back or doing anything else.

The point was to let Xiao Xiao know about this situation.

Let him have a clear idea in his mind.

Perhaps she's making a mountain out of a molehill.

But regarding plum trees...

She felt it was best not to let her guard down.

For so long, hardly anyone followed the scent of plum blossoms to find this place...

This girl...

Perhaps it's somewhat special...

……

"...Don't worry,"

After telling her son about the girl, Xiao's mother breathed a sigh of relief.

She comforted the child.

"It's good that you know about this."

After all, it's about that special plum tree.

Of all the people in the family, none knew the plum tree better than Xiao Xiao.

Such a special plum tree...

There can be no room for error.

"We'll keep an eye on that girl."

"She will no longer be allowed in the yard."

"It should be fine."

Xiao's mother smiled.

Don't worry about it too much.

……

"it is good."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

"I see."

"Mom, it's okay."

Xiao Xiao then comforted his mother.

"She won't find out anything."

The Plum Maiden has existed in human society for quite some time.

It won't be easy for anyone to notice anything unusual.

Besides... the other party probably just smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms.

Not particularly special.

……

"it is good."

With her son's assurance, Xiao's mother felt much more at ease.

She smiled.

"never mind."

"This is what Mom wants to tell you."

"okay."

"Mom hung up."

"Take care of yourself at school."

"take care of yourself."

……

"understood."

Xiao Xiao smiled, "You too."

"Do not be too tired."

……

"What are you tired of?"

Mother Xiao smiled and said, "I'm not tired."

Teahouses are not as lively as restaurants.

It always seems a bit deserted.

Most of the people who come to the teahouse are elderly.

Not many were ordered.

Often, a cup of tea and a plate of snacks are enough.

You can sit there for a long time.

It gets a little busier during holidays.

Some young people will come to the teahouse to sit for a while.

……

Fortunately, their teahouse has been open for a long time.

They've gained some fame.

In addition, the tea and snacks in the teahouse were very well received.

It has attracted many young people who are not particularly fond of tea but enjoy tea snacks.

Sometimes there are times when I'm so busy I barely have time to breathe.

of course.

Such times are rare.

Even a chance encounter can be quite fulfilling.

It's worth it, even if it's tiring.

……

Xiao's mother put away her phone.

Xiaoxiao said it's nothing.

Xiao's mother smiled at the others.

"Let's go."

"We should go out and entertain our guests."

……

"Ah."

The old lady nodded.

Hearing her grandson say that everything was alright, the old lady was immediately relieved.

In the old lady's heart, her grandson had long been the most remarkable person.

Sun Tzu is definitely right.

……

While Xiao's mother and the old lady appeared to be entertaining the guests as usual, they were actually keeping a close eye on the girl out of the corner of their eyes.

He secretly watched out for the actions the girl might take.

……

Compared to Xiao's mother and the old lady's "alarm-like" attitude, the girl wearing a brown baseball cap seemed much more natural and casual.

She ordered a pot of floral tea, along with several plates of the teahouse's signature snacks.

Quite a few.

The table in front of the girl was almost completely filled with plates.

……

The girl sipped tea and ate snacks with great enjoyment.

When Xiao's mother or the old lady happened to pass by her table, she would give them a warm smile.

It seems that she had never been treated coldly by Xiao's mother before, nor had she been directly pushed out of the yard by the old lady.

They would also quietly compliment the tea and snacks, saying how delicious they were.

The tea was also very fragrant.

For girls who don't know much about tea, this tea tastes very fragrant.

Even after savoring the taste, the tea was still a bit bland for the girl.

It's still okay.

It tastes better than I expected.

However, the tea snacks that melt in your mouth and are sweet but not cloying are what really amaze the girls.

With these refreshments, the girl felt the tea tasted even better.
……

Both Xiao's mother and the old lady were somewhat surprised by the girl's casual closeness.

This girl...

It's too natural and familiar.

but……

Thinking about it carefully, it really wasn't a big deal.

Although the girl sneaked into the yard, she was discovered immediately.

The girl did nothing.
The girl apologized as well.

That's the end of that.

If it weren't for the girl behind me relentlessly insisting on the scent of plum blossoms she smelled in the alley...

Even if the girl had just left the courtyard a moment ago and then appeared in the teahouse in the front yard a moment later, they wouldn't find it strange.

They would greet the girls with a smile.

They said that girls are destined to be with them.

But nothing is ever completely impossible.

Even if the girl acted completely harmless, Xiao's mother and the old lady's wariness towards her only increased.

This kid...

She has very strong opinions.

That's too much of a stubbornness.

This kind of person wants to uncover a secret...

It's really a troublesome thing.

……

The more enthusiastic the girl was, the more uncomfortable Xiao's mother and the old lady felt.
