He almost gritted his teeth and lowered his dignity to apologize to her in front of so many people. She only gave him a hum and didn't even answer any serious words. When she finally spoke, she was talking about her hand. The strange fruit there, "I surprised everyone today, so anyone who is interested can come and taste this banana fruit!"
He couldn't believe it, his apology wasn't even as important as the fruit in her hand!
However, Hu Mei had no intention of caring about him at this time. After she finished speaking, she glanced at her mother carefully, like a child who had done something wrong. After all, this was her mother's birthday party, so she took the initiative——
She explained in a low voice, "Mom, this thing smells delicious. It must be edible."
Fortunately, her mother was not angry. She squeezed her shoulders soothingly and agreed with her: "Yes, anyone who is interested can come and taste it. As for worrying about whether this thing is poisonous, don't worry. We have special testing here. housekeeper."
Hu Mei breathed a sigh of relief and felt faintly happy. Her mother supported her.
The toxicity testing housekeeper who had been on standby for a long time also came forward at this time, took some samples and tested them. Under the involuntary and nervous gazes of Hu Mei and everyone else, he nodded and said, "It's not toxic."
Hu Mei breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly.
The eyebrows of the others also stretched, and they were all eager to try it. If it was not poisonous, then they couldn't taste it. After all, they were still a little far away. They also smelled the fragrance of the fruit, which was delicate and elegant, and felt that the taste was just right. It would be great, and they have never tried such a big fruit.
Only Zhou Xing's family was disappointed. They would rather this thing was poisonous. In this case, they would not be the only ones to be embarrassed today.
Zhou Xing looked gloomy and muttered unhappily, "I won't eat this if you give it to me."
His mother glanced at him unhappily: "You are stupid. This delicious food has nothing against you. Wait for it to be cut open later and eat more! Our family doesn't have the spare money to spend more than five thousand stars." Money, buy such a food."
Zhou Xing’s mother had even thought about the script in her mind. When Hu Mei showed off and asked her how it tasted, she said it was not delicious and just average.
It's a pity that Humei didn't give them a piece of it.
Hu Mei cut the fruits herself and distributed them piece by piece. The family stared at them for a long time, but Hu Mei didn't even look at them.
In the end, Zhou Xing’s mother couldn’t help calling Hu Mei, “Hu Mei, aunt hasn’t eaten yet.”
Although Zhou Xing and Zhou Xing's dad said they wouldn't try, they couldn't hold back at this time and looked at Hu Mei eagerly.
After hearing her words, Hu Meicai seemed to have reacted, with an exaggerated expression: "Oh, aunt doesn't have it."
Seeing Zhou Xing's mother nodding, she smiled "embarrassingly" and said, "Auntie, I don't have any more. They've all been divided. I'm sorry."
The eyes of the people around her were almost immediately focused, and there seemed to be a faint sound of snickering. Zhou Xing's mother couldn't keep it off her face, and shouted loudly, "Actually, I don't really want to eat it, so I won't have it if I don't."
"Your fruit looks big, but in fact it must taste very bad."
"Xiao Mei, you have also gone to school. You know, the bigger this thing is, the more ordinary it tastes. Really, I don't want to eat it at all anyway, just asking you."
"We are tired of eating that fruit at home. We are not at all curious about the taste of your fruit."
Hu Mei just said nothing, but Zhou Xing's mother hurriedly took a big bite. Hu Mei smiled: "Okay, I was just about to say, in fact, I can leave it to my aunt and your family to taste it." Yes, but since aunt said so, then aunt should go home and eat pingguo."
Zhou Xing's mother, "." Why didn't you say something so important earlier?
Just when she was thinking about whether she should be shameless and say she wanted to eat, Hu Mei lost the patience to serve them and turned around and left.
Zhou Xing's family's faces instantly dropped.
Almost everyone present at the party got a piece of banana in their hands, big or small, but their family had nothing.
All eyes around them fell on them, making them so embarrassed that they wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
It's really impossible to leave now, and it would be embarrassing not to leave.
"Hume, this kid, huh, what's the use of just studying well!" Zhou Xing's mother felt unhappy, feeling that Humei was deliberately retaliating against their family, and couldn't help complaining to Zhou Xing's father, "If I had known that this was the case, why would I have done it? What kind of apology do you want Xiaoxing to apologize for? Let’s just leave!"
"Why don't you talk too much first? If you don't say those words, will Humei just give us her share?" Zhou Xing's father is not happy either. If Zhou Xing's mother doesn't say those two words, Have they eaten some now?
"What can you do if you give it to us? It's just a fruit. A fruit is just fruity. What other flavors can it taste like?" Zhou Xing's mother was still stubborn.
While their family was quarreling, others were already preparing to try to eat the fruit.
The fruit is soft when pinched, and the inside is red when cut, with a little bit of grit. You can clearly smell the refreshing fruity aroma without even getting close to your nose.
Just in terms of smell, this fruit is completely different from the fruits outside.
They felt intoxicated just by smelling it, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva, eager to take this thing into their mouths and taste its deliciousness.
However, to show etiquette, the first bite must be given to the protagonist of the birthday party, Hu Mei’s mother.
Humei's mother also understood very well. She said directly: "I think everyone must really want to try this fruit now, so I won't say more. I will take the first bite first. Everyone is free to do as you like."
As she spoke, she forked a small piece of pulp and put it in her mouth.
Everyone unconsciously clenched their forks and stared at her, wanting to see her reaction after eating.
Her reaction can give them a clue to a large extent whether this thing is a 'junk' that they don't like or eat, or a delicacy that they don't like and eat.
But Humei’s mother’s reaction after eating it was very strange.
Her bite didn't even take two chews before it stopped there, and she cried!
"Mom!" Hu Mei looked worried.
The other people below also had very confused expressions. What on earth is going on? Looking at the fruit in my hand, I didn't know for a moment whether it was edible.
Only Zhou Xing’s family was happy again, okay, okay, this thing must be extremely unpalatable, yes, that’s right!
You deserve that guy from Humei to be so arrogant!
