Chapter 106 Birthday Cake
"Go away, or I'll ask someone to kick you out, and it will be embarrassing for everyone." Xu Miaomiao said to the woman kneeling on the ground.
"Sister Xu, Sister Xu."
Song Yingying knelt forward and pulled Xu Miaomiao's trouser legs: "Don't chase me away."
Anyone who saw her crying like a pear blossom in the rain would feel heartbroken, but Xu Miaomiao didn't do that.
"Song Yingying, everything that happened today is your own fault. You can't blame anyone else for this situation. Either you get out of here, or I'll tie you up and throw you out. It's up to you."
Xu Miaomiao sat upright without even glancing at the woman.
Originally, she felt some sympathy for Song Yingying. Although she was a little arrogant and domineering, it was also because she had a pair of unwise parents. But now, she didn't have any sympathy at all.
Taking out a few banknotes from his arms and throwing them to Song Yingying, Xu Miaomiao sat up straight and said, "Leave quickly."
Song Yingying sobbed as she picked up the banknote in front of her: "Xu Miaomiao, sooner or later I will come back and make you kneel down and beg me!"
Then he turned around, opened the door and went out.
In the vast snow, only one footprint was left on the ground.
She definitely couldn't go back home. Her parents might even beg Song Wushao to accept her again, and all the banknotes Xu Miaomiao had just given her would be snatched away.
Unable to return home, Song Yingying wandered around the market alone.
"You are Song Wushao's cousin, right?"
A voice came from behind me. I turned around and saw a woman wearing a red mink fur coat and a servant holding an umbrella behind her. She looked very noble.
"Who are you?"
Song Yingying looked at the woman behind her and asked curiously, feeling a little confused.
The woman gradually stretched out her hand and looked at Song Yingying, her red lips slightly parted: "I am someone who can help you."
…
"Little disciple, what are you doing?"
After dinner, Xu Miaomiao was wandering in the yard alone. She saw the boy holding a handkerchief and staring at the peach blossoms in the yard in a daze. She couldn't help but walk over and tease him.
As soon as he saw Xu Miaomiao, Li Yi suddenly became like a panicked child. He was busy putting away the handkerchief in his hand, bowed respectfully and looked at Xu Miaomiao: "Master, why are you still not asleep so late?"
Xu Miaomiao touched Li Yi's head with a smile: "What are you talking about? Why aren't you asleep yet so late?"
"I saw that the moon was quite round today, so I came over to take a look." Li Yi responded to Xu Miaomiao, but he couldn't smile.
"It's getting late, and the night is cold. I saw that Dabao has many scars from practicing swordsmanship. You should be the same." Xu Miaomiao said, taking out a bottle of plaster from her arms and handing it to Li Yi: "This is the plaster I customized for you. It's good for the wound."
Li Yi took it tremblingly, his eyes suddenly turned red: "Thank you, Master, no one has ever prepared medicine for me before."
Xu Miaomiao touched the child's head with a smile, looked at him and said, "Don't worry, from now on, as long as there is a portion for Dabao, yours will not be left out."
Since she has already accepted Li Yi as her apprentice, she will not leave the child alone.
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back to bed early, and remember to apply the medicine I gave you."
Xu Miaomiao warned Li Yi.
The boy bowed slightly in thanks and then turned and left.
As Li Yi left, a handkerchief was blown in front of him by the breeze.
Xu Miaomiao picked up the handkerchief and was about to call the boy when she saw the word "Fifteen" embroidered on it and a round moon on it.
The handkerchief looks quite old, so it must be an old item.
Li Yi touched his body and found that his things were missing, so he quickly turned around and looked at Xu Miaomiao.
Xu Miaomiao smiled awkwardly and handed the handkerchief to the boy: "Here, you just dropped it."
"Thank you, Master. This is my mother's relic. If it is lost, I don't know what to do."
Li Yi laughed, carefully put away the handkerchief, and then left.
"Sixth Mother, is there any special meaning behind the fifteenth day of the first lunar month embroidered on the handkerchief?" Xu Miaomiao asked as she rolled up the cotton thread in her hand, looking at the woman embroidering the handkerchief under the lamp.
"No way, you don't even know this."
Song Weiwei, who was coaxing Ling'er in her arms, looked at Xu Miaomiao in disbelief: "You haven't embroidered for Dabao, Erbao and Xiaobao?"
Song Weiwei stared at Xu Miaomiao in surprise, but then she thought about it and realized that Xu Miaomiao hated children so much and was such a reckless man, so why would he embroider something for the children?
"Miao Miao, ignore her." Gu Yuanniang glanced at Song Weiwei, then looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "This is a birthday handkerchief. Every time a child is born, the mother will embroider one for the child herself."
"Oh oh." Xu Miaomiao nodded and twisted the silk thread in her hand: "Oh, it's broken, then it's tomorrow."
The word "fifteen" was written on the handkerchief, and Xu Miaomiao jumped down.
"We are farming, and the Lantern Festival is calculated according to the lunar calendar. If it is the solar calendar, tomorrow is indeed the 15th." Gu Yuanniang looked at Xu Miaomiao while embroidering the pattern in her hand and said, "What's wrong? Whose birthday is tomorrow?"
"It's Li Yi." Xu Miaomiao responded.
"Then we can have a big meal tomorrow." Song Weiwei responded happily.
"You, why are you always thinking about eating?" Gu Yuan's mother teased the person in front of her.
Song Weiwei laughed foolishly and did not answer.
"Weiwei is right." Xu Miaomiao agreed: "I'm thinking of making a cake for you guys to try tomorrow."
"Cake?" Song Weiwei's eyes lit up when she heard this: "What is that? It sounds delicious just by the name."
Xu Miaomiao smiled mysteriously and looked at them without saying anything.
The next morning -
Dabao and Li Yi were busy practicing martial arts in the yard as soon as they got together. As soon as Xu Miaomiao came out, she almost bumped into Dabao's sword.
"Mom, are you okay?"
Xu Miaomiao shook her head and smiled slightly.
After bringing out some simple breakfast, he locked himself in the room: "Just make do with what you have in the morning, and I'll make you something delicious at noon."
Xu Miaomiao smiled mysteriously, ate a bowl of glutinous rice balls in a hurry and locked herself in the room. Fortunately, she had made cakes at home frequently before, so the ingredients for making cakes were all prepared in her space.
After taking out all the necessary ingredients, Xu Miaomiao clapped her hands and started beating the egg whites.
The incense and candles outside the door burned from top to bottom, and the sun slowly rose into the sky from one side. The snow in the hot yard dissipated a little, turned into a pool of water and escaped to the side.
Put the last strawberry on it and the cake is ready.
Xu Miaomiao put the cake aside and quickly fried a few dishes before stopping.
Looking at the round cream cake, Xu Miaomiao smiled with her eyes curved.
When the cake appeared on the table, everyone gathered around and watched curiously.
"Mom, this white thing looks delicious." Erbao said while picking at the cake on the table.
Xu Miaomiao touched the little girl's head and said, "You are just greedy."
"Make way, the protagonist is coming."
Gu Yuanniang covered Li Yi's eyes with a cloth and walked over with the boy.
