Xiaoling was very happy.
"Thank you, Grandma. It's a bit big, but I can still wear it next year. I can just put a pair of cushions in it."
After trying them on and finding no problems, Xiaoling reluctantly took off the cotton shoes and put them aside. Then she put down her schoolbag and started doing her homework.
Grandma went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.
Soon, the aroma of food wafted out of the kitchen.
Xiaoling sniffed the aroma and felt it was somewhat familiar, a bit like the smell of sesame seed cakes she had smelled that morning.
Could it be that Grandma made some sesame seed cakes?
Xiaoling didn't expect that one happy thing after another would happen today. Excitedly, she ran to the kitchen and saw sesame seed cakes on the lid of the earthen stove pot.
The porridge simmering in the pot, the steamed cured meat, and the sesame seed cakes bought from town made for a very nice dinner.
When Grandma saw Xiaoling coming over, she just assumed she was hungry.
"Are you hungry? Studying is hard. Let's eat before we do our homework. You mentioned sesame seed cakes this morning, so Grandma bought some for you."
The sesame seed cakes, which had cooled down a bit, were heated up by the steam from the pot lid and are now at the perfect temperature for a bite.
Freshly baked sesame cakes are fragrant and crispy, but cold sesame cakes also have a unique flavor after being steamed.
Xiaoling smelled the aroma of the sesame seed cakes and felt a little hungry. She swallowed and saw that there were two in the bag. She took them out and handed one to her grandmother first.
"Grandma eats too."
Grandma took the sesame seed cake, held it in her hand without saying a word, and only let Xiaoling eat it first.
Xiaoling was indeed hungry. The school provided lunch, but there were too many people, and she was embarrassed to go back for more food, so she was hungry every day after school.
