Cheng Shi nodded, continued to open, and carefully placed the remaining fruit flesh onto the plate.
"Go open another one, you eat. I’ll take these to grandma and grandpa for them to try," Tang Xiaowan said, her smile broad as she gestured towards the durian box.
At that moment, the sense of loss in Tang Xiaowan’s heart was filled by the rich, golden flesh of durians.
She carried them into the living room, where Tang Mei seemed to be having a conversation with Wang Jinhui. When they saw Tang Xiaowan coming, they immediately stopped.
"Grandpa, Grandma, look what this is—durian, super soft and mushy big durian!"
A sweet laughter suddenly rang out.
On the way, Tang Xiaowan had a thought. As a child, she seemed to remember Granny Cai mentioning that her grandmother used to eat durian long ago and even used it to make "Food."
As for why it was no longer eaten, Tang Xiaowan couldn’t remember.
Now that Granny Cai had passed away, it was inconvenient for her to ask Granny Yu, since losing a loved one was a very sad subject that people often did not wish to bring up.
If her grandmother could eat durian in front of Wang Jinhui, it would be a small breakthrough.
"Can’t you guys give any reaction?"
Tang Mei frowned slightly and said with some difficulty, "Tangtang, you eat it yourself, ’Me and You’... Grandpa Wang, don’t eat this."
Grandpa is grandpa, why add a surname?
Jealous that Tangtang and I get along so well?
"Grandma, smell it first, then try a bit. It’s really tasty, try it please. It’s from Huahua." Tang Xiaowan said while pushing the plate towards Tang Mei.
She positioned it in such a way that not eating would seem like a dissatisfaction towards her granddaughter.
Sigh, this child is really spoiled! ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveIꜰire.net
Tang Mei hesitated a bit and took a piece, her nose filled with a strong durian scent that was faintly sweet.
"How is it, isn’t it super tasty?" Tang Xiaowan asked cheerfully.
"It’s okay, but the flavor is a bit strong."
Tang Mei had not eaten durian for a long time, and indeed felt a bit averse to it, but she still managed to finish her piece with a smile and fortunately did not have any adverse reaction.
"Look, Grandma, you finished it. Come on, have another piece?" Tang Xiaowan cheerfully urged.
"Maybe next time, we still have to eat dinner."
As Tang Xiaowan looked expectantly at Wang Jinhui, her large eyes blinking.
"Am I supposed to eat it too?"
"Yes, Grandpa, please try it!"
Wang Jinhui watched Tang Xiaowan’s excitement and felt warmth flooding his heart. He smiled and picked up a piece of durian flesh, smelling the strong scent and inadvertently wrinkling his brow.
"This flavor... it’s quite unique!" Wang Jinhui murmured to himself.
Tang Xiaowan intently watched Wang Jinhui, waiting for his tasting. Seeing Tang Xiaowan’s adorable expression, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of affection.
"Alright, for you, Grandpa will brave it. Let’s give it a try," Wang Jinhui said with a smile.
He carefully bit into a small piece of durian, savoring it. Although the taste was different from the fruits he usually enjoyed, under Tang Xiaowan’s expectant gaze, he managed to swallow it, maintaining an expression of enjoyment.
This was his first time eating it, and he couldn’t quite describe the feeling, but overall, it was okay.
A man should be brave enough to try new things!
Especially in front of Tang Mei—he didn’t want to appear useless. If he chickened out at a durian, that would be embarrassing.
"How was it, Grandpa, not bad right?"
"Uh, initially, it was indeed a bit... special, but after a few more bites, it’s quite good, very mushy and soft! I guess if it’s made into a cake or pastry, it would taste good too!" Wang Jinhui tried to turn his feelings into a positive review.
Hearing such earnest praise from him, Tang Xiaowan burst into laughter.
"Grandpa, you are amazing, bravely breaking through your limitations! And Grandma too, everyone eating durian together is such a blessing!"
What is this girl up to again?
Wang Jinhui, affected by Tang Xiaowan’s enthusiasm, laughed heartily and looked towards Tang Mei, who slightly curled her lips, feeling utterly satisfied.
"Of course, being able to eat durian with you and Grandma is the happiest thing!"
With that, Tang Xiaowan and Wang Jinhui exchanged glances for a few seconds, their faces beaming with joy and a shared sense of achievement.
