Seeing that they were still admiring the bibs, Shen Yejun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took out his own bib.

She didn't put it on Zhuangzhuang, but instead unfolded it to look at it, then folded it up again and placed it on the kang cabinet.

She planned to tell Chi Yu when she saw her later.

To avoid being misunderstood, I didn't prepare anything for Zhuangzhuang.

Chi Yu, who was helping out in the kitchen, was unaware of all this.

She noticed that Wang Yunjuan had taken out quite a lot of flour.

They also thought that since the other party had provided rice and flour, they should try their best to make the feast look as nice as possible.

After making fifty large vegetarian buns, nearly a third of the dough was still left.

She thought for a moment, then looked at her sister and said, "Sister-in-law, I think there's still some left over."

After having dinner with Ah Lin's in-laws later, Ah Ping has to go back to Beishan.

I was thinking, why don't I add some brown sugar and some flour, let it rest, and make some steamed sponge cake?

This steamed cake won't be served; we'll have my nieces' families take it back with them later.

Chi Qiao knew her younger sister well; the several nieces-in-law she mentioned also included the wives of A Ye and A Deng.

There's plenty of brown sugar in the left and right spaces. Right now, this batch is from the Zhong family, so it's fine for them to take this opportunity to sell it well.

Thinking this through, she nodded: "Okay, you can do it."

It's hot, and with the yeast, the dough rises very quickly.

Just before the dishes were ready to be served, Chi Yu also put the brown sugar steamed cake into the steamer.

When she came out of the kitchen and returned to the main room, she saw A-Ping and A-Lin's wife.

Chi Yu only knew that Ah Lin's wife's surname was Qiu, but he didn't know her given name.

Ah Ping's name is Huang Miao, as her second sister-in-law mentioned.

She looked at the two girls, one slightly older and one younger.

Both of them were very thin, but the smaller one had a better complexion than the larger one.

The older children, hearing the commotion, looked over with slightly indifferent eyes.

The smaller one, however, had curiosity in its eyes.

Before she could even speak, Zhong Yufeng, dressed in a red gauze summer gown, greeted her with a beaming smile.

"Auntie!"

Shen Yejun, who wanted to curry favor with his "boss," also came over.

Zhong Yufeng took Chi Yu's hand and walked to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), saying:

"Auntie, this is Ah Lin's wife, Qiu Dongmei. She just celebrated her birthday around the 14th of February."

Chi Yu looked at the girl named Dongmei, the younger one, the daughter of the carpenter Qiu.

She smiled and nodded to the little girl upon hearing this.

Zhong Yufeng continued, "Auntie, this is my second brother's wife, also my second sister-in-law, her name is Huang Miao."

Chi Yu saw that her gaze was still cold, and she seemed unwilling to interact with them, so she nodded to her without changing her expression.

After everyone sat down, she said, "I won't go out after the family introductions and tea ceremony."

"I'll go and call you sisters-in-law over first; I'll give you the gifts again."

As she spoke, she walked to the door and called out towards the main room, "Ya'er, have you come?"

Wang Qiaoya had only been there a short time and was currently watching over the grocery store.

Hearing the sound, he hurriedly poked his head out from the grocery store.

"Auntie, I'm here!"

"Okay, close the shop door and call your eldest and second sisters-in-law over here."

Although Wang Qiaoya was completely confused, she still closed the shop door, told her younger siblings to be good, and then went to the kitchen and the main room to call for help.
