Feng Changdi's body stiffened, obviously she didn't expect there was someone else in the yard. She was just thinking about saying nice things and getting some benefits from Jiang Xia, and her eyes were always on Jiang Xia, afraid that Jiang Xia would throw tea or soup on her. All her attention was on Jiang Xia.
She didn't even notice when the neighbors next door came.
Thinking of this, Feng Changdi forced a smile and looked at the neighbors who came to visit.
"Auntie Pang, when did you come? You didn't even tell us, so we were talking for a long time without noticing you." Feng Changdi said.
He probably didn't hear what she just said to Jiang Xia.
Hearing Feng Changdi's question, the neighbor Aunt Fat first took the thing in her hand and put it on the table. It was a homemade sugar cake. She used flour, kneaded it into cake shapes, and fried it. It was sizzling and crispy on the outside, and the core of the sugar cake was filled with sugar. After frying, when you took a bite of it, the sugar juice inside would come out.
Sugar, flour, and oil are all daily necessities that are difficult to obtain in fixed quantities.
As you can imagine, this sugar cake is a relatively rare kind of pastry, and ordinary people are simply reluctant to make it.
"Xia Xia, the sugar cakes are freshly baked. I've put them here for you. You can eat them now. If they get cold later, you can steam them over rice." Aunt Pang said to Jiang Xia.
She gave this thing to thank Jiang Xia for the useful goods he brought her from the mountains.
Her family loves to eat, and they are never vague about what they eat. They are also polite to others and don't like to take advantage of others.
After Aunt Fat said this, she looked at Feng Changdi again.
"We've been here for quite a while. I originally wanted to give the cakes to Xia Xia and the others to try, and then leave. But when I came in and saw your family talking, I couldn't leave or stay, so I could only stand in the yard for a while." Aunt Fat said.
After she said this, several other neighbors who came with Aunt Fat also nodded and looked at Feng Changdi with curiosity in their eyes.
"Changdi, you're doing a great job as the second aunt. I just heard you buy meat specially, waiting for Xia Xia to come so that you can cook some delicious meat, vegetables and oil for Xia Xia. You two probably rarely eat meat once a month, and you're really willing to do that." Aunt Wang, who was wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket, spoke and gave Feng Changdi a thumbs up.
“……”Feng Changdi.
She was just talking nonsense.
"The old lady is the same. I used to think that she favored her second son and his grandchildren. I didn't expect that this time when she heard her granddaughter discussing marriage, she was so anxious that she came to her house to give her granddaughter a dowry. Come to think of it, she is her own granddaughter after all."
"Xiao Shen's grandmother is not her biological granddaughter, but she cares about her granddaughter and has given her a lot of things. Xiao Shen's grandmother's pension is not even as high as Grandma Jiang's, but Grandma Shen is willing to give. How could Grandma Jiang be reluctant to give her own granddaughter? She has to give something to keep up the occasion." Another neighbor nearby also nodded, and as she spoke, she looked at her with curiosity.
It fell on Old Lady Jiang, as if she was curious about what treasure Old Lady Jiang was going to give to her granddaughter.
"..." Old Mrs. Jiang's hand trembled, and the copper bracelet on her wrist was revealed.
"Grandma, is this the heirloom you mentioned?" Jiang Xia asked after taking a look at the worthless copper bracelet on Grandma Jiang's wrist.
