I trade in both worlds

Chapter 173 Tasting Incident

After saying that, he took out a small bag of finger biscuits from his bag and gave one to her.

As long as there was something to eat, Xu Tiantian didn’t care whether it was a cheese stick or a biscuit. She happily held the biscuit and started grinding her teeth.

Xu Ziqing and a few other kids were discussing what to buy at the candy shelf. Xu Xu walked over and asked, "You've each chosen a box of candy, why do you want to buy more candy?"

"But I also want to eat fruit-flavored candy." Xu Qiwei looked at her expectantly.

Xu Jin and Xu Zhun said in unison: "I want chocolate flavor."

"Then let's buy a bag of mixed-flavor candies so that everyone can be satisfied." Xu Ziqing said with a smile.

After selecting their candies, they continued walking forward and came to the dry goods area.

There are mountains of nuts here, such as pistachios, macadamia nuts, almonds, pine nuts, hazelnuts, etc.

Xu Ziqing selected various nuts, thinking how pleasant it would be to eat snacks while watching TV.

Xu Xu was picking red dates and longans, planning to save them for making soup and porridge, and also to give them as gifts.

Xu Qiwei looked at the almonds and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"Almonds." Xu Ziqing looked back and replied.

"Is it edible?" Xu Qiwei stared at the thing with an ugly shell with a frown.

"Of course, it's delicious. You'll know when you try it when we get back."

Hearing this, Xu Qiwei reached out and took one, ran to Xu Ziqing and asked, "Can I eat it?"

Xu Xu, who was standing next to him, stopped him and said, "No, you haven't paid yet. Put this back first. We'll buy some to eat later."

Xu Qiwei pouted her lips but kept her eyes on the almonds.

Suddenly, he saw an old lady eating and picking almonds, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Mom, look at that grandma, she didn't pay, why can she eat but I can't?" Xu Qiwei pointed at the old grandma and asked dissatisfiedly.

Xu Xu looked in the direction where his finger pointed and saw the old lady looking at him with bulging eyes, seeming a little dissatisfied with Xu Qiwei's accusation.

"Oh, kid, why are you so rude?" The old lady said unhappily, "I tried it because I wanted to know if it tasted good, and I also want to buy it, so why can't I try it? You can't try it if you don't buy it, that's the rule."

After hearing what the old lady said, Xu Qiwei became even more dissatisfied and asked Xu Xu: "But we also want to buy it, why can't we try it?"

The old lady glared at Xu Qiwei and said, "If you want to buy it, buy it. Don't make trouble here."

Seeing this, Xu Xu didn't want to argue with her too much. This was her personal moral behavior, and she didn't want to interfere too much. She just wanted to take good care of her own children.

She pulled Xu Qiwei over and said, "Weiwei, let's pick a few more and buy them home to eat together, okay? But we can't eat them before we pay."

Although Xu Qiwei was still a little dissatisfied, he nodded obediently.

However, after hearing what Xu Xu said, the old lady was unwilling to give up.

"Oh, children nowadays are becoming more and more uneducated. They have mothers who give birth to them but don't educate them." The old lady said, shaking her head.

After hearing what the old lady said, Xu Xu felt a surge of anger in his heart.

Although she is not good at arguing with others, she is also unwilling to initiate conflicts with others.

But that doesn't mean she can tolerate other people's unreasonable accusations against her children.

"Old lady, please be careful with your words." Xu Xu said coldly, "We are not causing trouble, the children are just curious and want to ask. You try it because you like it, and we can't try it if we don't buy it. This is the rule. But you don't need to accuse the children of being uneducated and the parents of not disciplining them."

The old lady’s face changed when she heard Xu Xu’s words. She didn’t expect that this seemingly gentle and weak young woman would refute her so directly.

She glared at Xu Xu, then raised her voice: "Hey, young man, how can you talk to an old man like that? I've lived to this age, and I've never seen someone as ignorant of etiquette as you. You don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young at all."

Xu Ziqing heard the quarrel and came over with the twins. He stood beside Xu Xu and asked, "What happened?"

Xu Xu didn't reply to her. He pulled Xu Qiwei to the twins and said softly, "Look after the children."

He turned and looked at the old lady: "Old lady, I respect your age, but I also ask you to respect me and my child. We did nothing wrong, the child just asked a question out of curiosity. It is your right to taste the food, but we are also abiding by the supermarket's rules not to let children taste the food, and it has not offended you, so there is no need for you to blame us for it."

At this time, the surrounding customers began to notice the dispute and cast curious glances.

The old lady also knew that her behavior was wrong. Seeing so many people watching, she was afraid of attracting supermarket staff, so she quickly threw the almonds she had chosen back.

Before turning around and leaving, he glared at Xu Xu fiercely, and as he passed by her, he muttered, "No rules."

Xu Xu was so angry that she opened her mouth to curse back, but Xu Ziqing patted her on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, don't bother with her. She looks like she must be in her seventies or eighties. Don't make her angry and even pay her for it."

Come to think of it, at such an old age, who knows what kind of illnesses they have. If anything happens to them, they will be asking for trouble.

Xu Xu took a few deep breaths and quietly described the food tasting incident to Xu Ziqing.

Xu Ziqing squatted down and pointed at the pile of nuts, and asked with a smile: "Xiaojin, Xiaozhun, Weiwei, have you never eaten these before?"

"No." Xu Qiwei shook his head. He was a little frightened just now and stood next to Xu Xu with his head drooped.

The twins also shook their heads and looked at her with wide eyes.

"Okay." Xu Ziqing stood up, picked up Xu Qiwei and put him in the shopping cart: "Let's go buy the nut gift pack."

Xu Zhun asked curiously, "What is a nut gift pack?"

"The gift pack contains all these nuts." Xu Ziqing pointed at the loose nuts and said, "Every kind is included."

"Wow~" Xu Qiwei looked up at her instantly: "Do you have all of them?"

"Yes, there are also some gift packs that are not available here." Xu Ziqing said affirmatively.

"Great." The twins jumped up happily.

After carefully selecting four boxes of nut gift packs, Xu Ziqing tried his best to add some different nuts.

When using repeated nuts, try to choose pine nuts, pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts and other nuts that have a better taste.

Just after she chose the gift package, a huge biscuit gift package suddenly caught Xu Ziqing's eyes. It seemed to have its own life and slowly moved towards her.

Xu Ziqing was stunned for a moment, then he started laughing. It turned out to be Xu Zhun.

He panted and placed the cookie gift bag next to Xu Ziqing's shopping cart.

Xu Jin looked at the gift bag, which was taller than him, curiously: "Where did you get it? Is it heavy?"

Xu Zhun panted and pointed backwards with his finger.

Looking in the direction he pointed, Xu Jin saw a large biscuit standing upright on top of a pile of cardboard boxes.

Xu Jin's eyes widened in shock and he exclaimed, "Wow, what a big cookie."

"Where, where?" Xu Qiwei looked around curiously but couldn't see it: "Uncle, where is it? I want to see it too."

Xu Ziqing moved the shopping cart 180 degrees in a funny way.
