Chapter 315 Dinner
Lin Xia was used to conflicts between children, so she peeked for a while and then went back to her work. Three-year-old children were just beginning to understand the concept of order. The two grew up together, so it was normal for them to quarrel and fight.
Lin Xia gradually planted less vegetables in the vegetable garden in the yard. The climate conditions on the island were good, and every time she planted vegetables, she could get a good harvest. Except for seafood and meat, Lin Xia rarely bought vegetables in the market.
When she finished her work in the yard and entered the house, she saw the two little ones playing together affectionately again, with no sign of the conflict they had before.
"Mom!" As soon as Lele saw his mother, he quickly got up from the ground with his butt raised, ran over and hugged her thighs, completely forgetting the punishment he had just received.
Ningning followed closely behind, the two little ones hugged her, raising their little faces and smiling cutely.
Lin Xia didn't know whether the child had a bad memory or was giving herself a way out. Seeing this cute look, even if she was really angry, she would calm down now.
Putting down the things in his hands, Lin Xia took the two of them to sit down together, hugged them and asked softly: "Do you know you are wrong?"
"Got it~" The two little kids nodded softly, and stayed in their mother's arms a little embarrassedly.
Lin Xia's heart softened, "Will we still fight in the future?"
"Fight~" the two answered in unison.
Lin Xia: “…”
"Do you know that fighting is wrong?" Lin Xia looked around and asked again.
"I know~" he answered with certainty.
"Then are we still fighting?"
"Fight~" the two answered very seriously.
Lin Xia: “…” If the two little guys hadn’t looked so serious, she would have thought they did it on purpose.
"Fighting is wrong. Do you know that we should not fight?" Lin Xia comforted herself in her heart. The child is still young and needs to be taught slowly.
"No fighting~" the two shook their heads.
When Lin Xia saw the two of them being well behaved and getting along, she felt that teaching a three-year-old child was really tiring.
"Mom, eat some cookies!" Lele held Lin Xia in his little hands and said eagerly.
Lin Xia stood up and handed each person a biscuit. It was a small rectangular biscuit sprinkled with sesame seeds and sugar. It was delicious when you took a bite.
Time passed quickly, and it was An An's birthday. Lu Yuxiu happened to be on vacation, so Lin Xia thought about inviting a few acquaintances to come home and have some fun.
Song Yu and Han Wei had also moved into the family area, so Lin Xia invited them as well as Zhou Zheng and Yang Hongmei's families to have dinner together. The Women's Federation was not so busy recently, so she took a day off.
Lin Xia didn't need to ask the children in the family what their favorite food was. She went to the market with Lu Yuxiu early to buy meat and saved up a lot of meat coupons.
Not only did I prepare pork, I also bought a chicken. Coconut has the effect of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, which is most suitable for the hot summer.
The two bought a bunch of meat and seafood, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy fruit. The family always had a constant supply of fruit, and they would also need it to make the cake later.
Seeing the durian, Lin Xia had an idea. To avoid the trouble of whipping the cream, it would be better to make a mille-feuille. But she didn't know whether Zhou Zheng and the others would like it, so Lin Xia decided to make mango mille-feuille this time. An An also likes it very much.
Afraid that Zhou Zheng and Song Yu would go out during the day, they planned to have dinner in the evening. In the afternoon, when Lin Xia was making a thousand-layer cake at home, Yang Hongmei came early to help.
"Auntie Lin, are you making a cake?" Dajun and Xiaojun followed along and asked curiously when they saw Lin Xia making delicious food.
"You can eat after dinner." Lin Xia smiled and nodded to the two of them.
"Auntie Lin, please teach my mom how to make it." Xiaojun watched eagerly, "My mom is too stupid, she always fails!"
Yang Hongmei didn't expect her son to tell this embarrassing story. Seeing the look in Lin Xia's eyes, she explained a little embarrassedly, "Every time you bring it to them, they love it so much. I thought it wasn't difficult, so I tried to make it myself."
"What my mother cooks is not tasty at all!" Xiaojun couldn't help but say, but when he saw Yang Hongmei glaring at him, he ran away after saying that.
If you don’t run, you’ll be beaten!
"It looks similar when it's done, but it tastes..." Yang Hongmei was also puzzled. This cake was made with pancakes, but for some reason it tasted so bad.
Lin Xia smiled and said that there is a trick to this. The flour for making lasagna cannot be over-fermented and the viscosity should be moderate. Most importantly, the batter must be fine and needs to be filtered several times to be delicious.
While Lin Xia was operating, she told Yang Hongmei the tricks.
"I didn't expect there are so many details involved. No wonder the cake I made didn't taste good." Yang Hongmei didn't expect that this cake, which looked simple, would be so elaborate to make. She had originally wanted to learn how to make a cream cake, but now it seems she's given up.
The two were chatting when there was a knock on the yard door. Lin Xia had his hands free, so Yang Hongmei helped to open the door.
"Sister-in-law, we are here. How can we help?" Lin Xia looked up and saw He Xiao and Zhou Zheng carrying things and entering the room one after another.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" He Xiao looked at the half-finished cake curiously.
"The cake is ready." Lin Xia replied with a smile, "It will be ready soon. Please sit down for a while. The cooking hasn't started yet."
Lu Yuxiu came out from behind holding a kitchen knife and greeted them. Zhou Zheng saw him busying himself, said something to He Xiao, and went to the back to help.
He Xiao stared blankly at Lu Yuxiu working, then looked at Lin Xia, and couldn't help being shocked. However, even Sister Yang beside him didn't seem to be surprised.
The words Zhou Zheng had said before suddenly appeared in her mind. She always felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know how to refute it.
There was a knock on the door behind her. Lin Xia thought it was Song Yu. Before she could open the door, she heard Song Yu's voice shouting, "Sister-in-law, I'm here to have a free meal!"
Yang Hongmei smiled and went to open the door.
Seeing more and more people coming, He Xiao smiled shyly and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go to the back to help."
"It's okay, take a rest. They are here behind you." Lin Xia could see that she was uncomfortable, so she asked her to sit on the sofa and take a rest. Lu Yuxiu and others were busy behind her and they couldn't use her at all.
As they were talking, Song Yu and Han Wei came into the room. They were also busy, holding two cans of malted milk.
"Sister-in-law, I'm really craving the food you cook!" Song Yu couldn't help swallowing when he thought of the taste.
