Hearing her son's voice, Li Xiu'e hurried out of the kitchen and said urgently: "You're back! Just in time. Go buy me a ticket. I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow. I can't stay here any longer."
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Su Jianmin hurriedly went to help her and asked.
Bai Lu also walked out anxiously at this time, "Mom, what are you doing? It's such a small thing, we don't need to..."
"Why is this a small matter? Jinbao's teeth haven't grown out for so long, I think this is a big deal!"
Su Jianmin was confused when he heard this, his brows were furrowed tightly, and he looked confused and confused, "What happened? What does it have to do with Jinbao's teeth? What are you arguing about?"
"Dad, Mom wants to..."
Just after he said a few words, he felt that his voice was very strange, and Jin Bao couldn't help but cover his mouth.
On the side, Yao Hua helped her and explained to Uncle Su: "Uncle Su, Grandma Li wants to throw Jinbao's lost teeth under the bed. Aunt Bai is worried that she won't find them in the future. She doesn't want to lose the teeth as Grandma Li said, but wants to throw Jinbao's teeth under the bed."
Collect the teeth.
In fact, I can understand the thoughts of Grandma Li and Aunt Bai, they both care about Jinbao."
The little boy spoke very clearly and logically.
Su Jianmin understood immediately.
He smiled and said: "I thought something serious had happened, but I didn't expect it to be such a trivial matter. Mom, if my son is not talking about you, do you need to go back to your hometown upset over such a trivial matter?"
"Why do you even think this is a trivial matter? What if Jinbao's teeth don't grow in, or they don't look good, or they grow crooked? This is what the older generation has passed down. The teeth of you children are so long.
It all depends on the old method."
She then gave an example: "Like Xiaosi, his teeth are not as good-looking as Xiaowu's."
Su Xiaosi puffed up her mouth, "What's wrong with my teeth?"
"Look at your lower teeth, they are all crooked..."
Bai Lu explained to her mother-in-law: "That's because Xiaosi liked to lick his teeth with his tongue when he was teething. It took me a long time to correct him. It has nothing to do with whether the teeth were thrown under the bed or on the roof."
"Hmph! I don't care, anyway, my granddaughter's teeth must be beautiful!" Li Xiu'e insisted, "If you don't hand over Jinbao's teeth, I will leave."
Seeing his mother's insistence, Su Jianmin had no choice but to walk to his daughter-in-law and whispered: "How about you do as our mother asks, and it doesn't matter if you throw it under the bed. I will help you find it when Jinbao's teeth grow out."
"I can find the ones under the bed, but what about the ones on the roof?" Bai Lu frowned slightly, "The main thing is that it really doesn't make sense..."
"Whether it makes sense or not, this matter of losing teeth is an old saying. You have to give in to my mother first."
Bai Lu listened to her husband and sighed helplessly, "Okay."
She returned to the room and handed the box containing Jinbao's baby teeth to her mother-in-law, "Both of them are here."
Li Xiu'e opened the box and saw that the two teeth that Jin Bao had lost before were inside. Then she smiled with satisfaction. She took Jin Bao to the bedroom where she and her parents slept, and threw both teeth on the bed.
under.
"Now Jinbao's teeth will grow in soon," the old lady said with a kind smile, touching her precious granddaughter's head, "Jinbao no longer has to worry about his teeth not growing in."
"Yeah!" Jinbao smiled sweetly at his grandma.
Although she also felt that what her grandma said was unfounded and unreasonable, the strange thing was that when she got up and looked in the mirror the next day, she found that a small section of white teeth had really grown out of her gums, instead of two bare holes.
"Look, I told you, right?" Li Xiu'e said cheerfully, "If the upper tooth falls out, it will be thrown under the bed."
"It's really amazing!" Su Xiaosi said excitedly, "Grandma, you are so amazing!"
His grandma smiled even more heartily, "Hahaha... So, you still have to believe in the old saying. What's the saying? If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer losses before your eyes. Grandma can still harm you!"
At night, Bai Lu asked Jin Bao to open her mouth and stared at her newly grown teeth for a long time.
"Mom..." Jinbao opened his mouth tiredly, tilted his head and asked, "Is there something wrong with my teeth?"
"No," Bai Lu shook her head, "It looks pretty good, and the position is very good. Jinbao, please don't lick it if you feel uncomfortable, you know? Otherwise, it will become crooked in the future, and you will laugh.
It’s ugly.”
The little girl nodded obediently, "Yes, I understand."
After she fell asleep, Bai Lu frowned again, wondering if she was really wrong?
Su Jianmin finally finished the work at hand, washed his face and went back to bed. Seeing his wife looking thoughtful, he leaned closer and asked, "What's the matter? You are so distracted, what are you thinking about?"
"Tell me, why can a child's teeth grow faster if the fallen baby teeth are thrown under the bed?"
"I thought you were thinking about something important," Su Jianmin said with a smile, "Why are you still thinking about losing your teeth?"
Bai Lu whispered: "I had such a quarrel with your mother before, but it turned out that I was wrong. It feels like I was the one who caused Jinbao's teeth to not grow out these days. Hey, I feel very uncomfortable anyway..."
"Are you stupid? You don't really think that Jinbao's teeth grew out today because our mother threw her teeth under the bed, do you? This is just a coincidence, do you understand?"
Su Jianmin said and patted his wife's head, "Stop thinking so wildly."
After saying that, seeing his wife sighing faintly, he hurriedly comforted her, "Those boys in our family, like Zhiyuan, didn't know where the fallen teeth were thrown when they lost their teeth. Later, their teeth
Aren’t they all grown out too?”
"Growing out is different from growing up quickly and growing well. Our mother is right. Xiao Si's teeth just look crooked. Although Wen Nian's teeth are better, they are not as neat and beautiful as Xiao Wu's teeth."
Speaking of this, Bai Lu suddenly felt a little lucky, "Fortunately, Jinbao's teeth were thrown under the bed. Her new teeth look very neat and about the same size."
Su Jianmin originally wanted to say that this statement would at most make the children feel at ease, so that they would not be afraid after losing their teeth, which had a psychological effect, but after hearing what his wife said, he thought there was no need to explain more.
It would be good if the daughter-in-law could have the same idea as her mother, so as not to have conflicts over this matter in the future.
I thought that his mother would stay here for a long time, but she didn't expect that after Jinbao took the entrance exam on Monday and the results came out on Wednesday, and it was confirmed that she could enter the first grade, Li Xiu'e started to pack her things and prepare to go back to her hometown.
Although the Su family's husband and wife and several children persuaded her to stay for a few more months, she insisted on leaving.
"Your father is old and his legs and feet are not good. I haven't taken care of him for more than a year, and I feel quite worried.
Actually, if Jinbao hadn't suddenly lost her baby teeth, I wouldn't have worried about her. The day you came back from Nanping City, I wanted to take a car back. Besides, you two live in the same room with Jinbao every day.
What does it look like?
Jinbao is so old, let her sleep on my bed and live in the same room with Bai Xing, right?
She needs a desk when she goes to school to do her homework, and she also needs her own wardrobe cabinet to put some of her own things."
Su Jianmin nodded and said, "Mom, I understand. I will go find a carpenter tomorrow and build a desk and wardrobe cabinet for Jinbao."
Li Xiu'e explained some more things about Jinbao, then pulled her son aside and whispered: "After I go back, you must take good care of your wife and children.
Bai Lu is the best daughter-in-law, and you can't find another one even if you hold a lantern. You have to treat her well. You can't be self-righteous, mess around, and bully her just because you are a factory director, do you understand?"
