Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Cultivate More Feelings

The freshly-steamed egg cakes were still steaming hot.

Helian Qiao couldn’t resist the aroma, she quickly reached out with her chubby hand and grabbed a piece of egg cake to eat.

Seeing the little hamster eat so much that her cheeks were full, Gu Tingyun mimicked her and took a large bite. Then, his slightly picky taste buds were immediately conquered by the soft, sweet egg cake.

Jiang Manyun was also amazed, saying, "Delicious! Auntie, your egg cake is much tastier than the pastries sold in the department stores!"

Ma Xiulian grinned and said, "If you don’t mind, take some to Director Gu for a taste when you go back."

"There’s no need for that, Auntie. He can get full in the canteen. Let’s save the leftover egg cakes for the children to eat."

Jiang Manyun was not looking down on these few pieces of egg cake. She knew the conditions in each rural household were not good, with nearly every meal consisting of coarse grain cakes and wild vegetable porridge.

Even now, several of the little children from the Chen Family were biting their fingers and staring longingly at them eating from the entrance.

Ma Xiulian waved her hand, "I made a lot of these egg cakes. It is enough for you all to share. Moreover, they’re not worth much with us making them from our own eggs. If you are so modest, I’ll be too embarrassed to let Guibao go out with you next time."

Of course, it was not worth much. This was just her way of fooling people.

This egg cake not only needed eggs but also white sugar, flour, and lard — all were valuable items that were normally too precious to eat.

They were time-consuming to prepare, so even if her little granddaughter liked to eat them, she only occasionally found time to make them.

She made the egg cakes today specifically to return the favor to the Gu Family. After all, her little granddaughter had gone to town to enjoy their hospitality. Regardless of whether the Gu Family cared about it, the old Chen Family couldn’t take that big advantage for free.

Jiang Manyun could guess her thoughts and stopped refusing. "Okay, thank you, Aunt Chen."

She sighed again in her heart: Aunt Chen really loves Guibao to the bone.

Watching the mother and son of the Gu Family leaving with several pieces of egg cake, Li Chunhua’s expression was pained.

Such precious egg cakes, her mother-in-law had actually generously given so many to outsiders. Yet, her Xiaobao only had half a piece!

But she dare not offend her mother-in-law and could only complain secretly to Zhao Mei, "Eldest sister-in-law, do you think mom’s gotten old and muddled? It would be fine if she gave two pieces to outsiders. Why did she let them take so many? We didn’t steam many egg cakes to begin with. Now we have so few left, they won’t be enough for our big family!"

Zhao Mei also cherished the egg cakes and her own daughter. Most of her daughters probably wouldn’t get a share, but she didn’t dare to complain about her mother-in-law like her sister-in-law did.

Zhou Zhaodi understood this better, their mother-in-law was returning favors for Guibao. Otherwise, they wouldn’t even have a bite of egg cake.

In short, they were fortunate this time to have piggybacked on their little niece’s favor!

Zhou Zhaodi happily thought, it would be great if Guibao often went to the town with Comrade Jiang in the future, and could also build a better relationship with her future mother-in-law.

At meal time, Ma Xiulian divided an egg cake for Chen’s father and her three sons and grandsons. For her three daughters-in-law and herself, she divided half a cake, and finally gave one cake to her granddaughters to divide among themselves.

As the eldest sister, Dani naturally divided the food. She divided an irregular piece of egg cake as fairly as possible into five portions. A small piece for herself, Erni, Sanni, Sanni, and Liuni.
