Having farmed the land her whole life, Yue Jiuyue had never even tasted a steamed bun made from flour milled from freshly harvested wheat. This was truly heartbreaking for her.
Therefore, the whole family must have a good meal of these wheat steamed buns!
Following her mother-in-law's advice, Liu took the wheat to the stone mill, where someone was already grinding flour. It was quite unexpected to see Liu there.
"Mrs. Lin, you're really willing to eat noodles now? In all these years, this is the first time I've seen someone from your family bring over newly harvested wheat to grind into flour!"
"To be honest, this is the first time I've ever seen anything like this. Has Lin Yueshi gotten so arrogant just because she has a little money? Is she trying to ruin her life?"
"Who knows what she's thinking? With her six acres of wasteland, it would be a miracle if she could grow three bushels of wheat!"
"Alright, who are you talking to? Hurry up and grind the flour, everyone at home is waiting to eat!"
A group of young and old women pointed and whispered when they saw Liu Shi. Hearing their words, Liu Shi felt even more resentful towards Yue Jiuyue. They thought, "You only care about eating well now, but you don't care about the future."
Liu's complaints at this moment were proven wrong an hour later.
Steamed buns made from freshly milled wheat flour are absolutely delicious! She ate three of them by herself!
If she hadn't seen that there was hardly any left and worried that the men wouldn't have enough to eat, she felt she could have eaten half more!
No, it's just one; she feels she can still eat another one!
While secretly rubbing her full stomach, Liu looked on with envy as she watched Xiaoman devour the steamed buns, and couldn't help but swallow.
This was the first time she had ever seen steamed buns smell so good!
"mother?"
Xiaoman noticed that Liu was staring at her. The two-year-old child couldn't understand what the adult's gaze meant, but she still offered the steamed bun she was eating to Liu's mouth.
"eat."
Moved to tears, Liu pushed the steamed bun she was holding towards Xiaoman's mouth and said:
"Xiaoman, eat. Mommy is already full, very full."
I've never eaten so much in the past eighteen years!
Seeing that Liu Shi wasn't eating, Xiaoman gave her a sweet smile, then lowered her head and took a big bite of the steamed bun, her cheeks bulging out like a cute little squirrel.
The three Lin brothers each ate five steamed buns, Xiaoman had only eaten half of a steamed bun, Yue Jiuyue ate two, and Liu Shi ate three. All twenty-one steamed buns were devoured in one meal.
Moreover, Yue Jiuyue could tell that the three brothers were still not satisfied; if they steamed more buns, each of them could show off two.
"Mom! This steamed bun is so delicious!"
Lin Chaonan said.
Thinking back to before the wheat harvest, he dragged Lin Chaobei to see a doctor, and felt sorry for the fact that one copper coin could buy a steamed bun with the wooden cart, something he had never even eaten before.
Unexpectedly, he ate five of them in no time!
"Yes, Mother, I've never eaten such good steamed buns in my life. I never expected to eat five of them at once. I can die without regrets!"
Lin Chaobei stroked his belly and said with a satisfied expression.
Everyone present, except for Xiaoman, was speechless.
This brat, what nonsense is he spouting!
"Mom, I'm a little full. I'm taking the fourth child out to digest."
After saying that, the eldest brother grabbed the fourth brother's arm and left. Then, Yue Jiuyue heard a melodious plea for mercy.
