Today is Saturday. The night before, Bai Xiaoruo had already called Annie and Lin Suqing to say that she would visit them today if she had time.
Bai Xiaoruo got up at six o'clock in the morning.
After preparing the ingredients, I kept busy in the kitchen.
Unable to afford an expensive thank-you gift, Bai Xiaoruo thought that she might as well make some of her best-kept snacks for Sister Annie and her grandparents; they would probably like them.
Although these snacks can be bought everywhere, homemade ones always have a special touch.
The snacks I made are already in the oven, and they're just waiting to be baked so I can pack them in boxes and take them out.
Bai Xiaofu yawned and lazily walked downstairs in her silk slip dress.
Early in the morning, I could smell the delicious aromas wafting from the kitchen.
As she approached the kitchen, Bai Xiaofu felt a surge of anger upon seeing Bai Xiaoruo bustling about inside. It was such bad luck to see that bitch in broad daylight.
Bai Xiaoruo hummed an unknown song, put on gloves, and carefully took the baked pastries out of the oven.
Let it cool for a few minutes before putting it in a box and wrapping it up.
Bai Xiaofu stormed into the kitchen and kicked over the trash can that Bai Xiaoruo had just cleaned up.
The trash can was instantly scattered all over the ground.
Bai Xiaoruo was still a little angry, but when she saw that the person who came was Bai Xiaofu, she couldn't express her anger and could only swallow it silently.
"Good morning, sis."
"Hmph, good? Seeing your face makes me lose my appetite for breakfast!"
If you can't eat, you can't eat. It's not like you're the one who's hungry. If you don't want to see her, why did you rush straight to the kitchen? Didn't you keep complaining about how messy and filthy the kitchen was the other day? Bai Xiaoruo was secretly displeased, but didn't say it out loud.
"What are you doing?"
"I...I want to make some snacks to give to my friends." Bai Xiaoruo carefully protected the freshly baked snacks in the baking tray, afraid that Bai Xiaofu might get angry and overturn them, which would make all her hard work this morning go to waste.
"Friends? Ha, someone like you has friends? You don't just befriend random Tom, Dick, or Harry, do you?"
“You! I respect you as my sister, but I also ask you to respect me and my friends! My friends are not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry, and even if they were cats or dogs, I would still consider them my friends.”
"Alright, alright, I'm too lazy to listen to your nonsense!" Bai Xiaofu picked up a small pastry from the baking tray, looked at it, and saw that it was quite exquisite and smelled very good. Bai Xiaofu suddenly remembered that it was the weekend, so Ziqian should be at home too.
Bai Xiaofu remembered that Ji Ziqian did not dislike eating sweets. On the contrary, whenever he came to visit, he would still pick up a few snacks to eat after the meal.
Why not bring these snacks with you, invite Ziqian out, and tell him that you made them yourself? He'll definitely be very happy.
"You, pack all these snacks up right now, and make the boxes nice. I'm going upstairs to change my clothes now, and you have to pack them up for me when I come down."
"What? But these are all mine..." Bai Xiaoruo thought she must have misheard. These were clearly the pastries she had spent the whole morning making. How could Bai Xiaofu take them all without even asking?
"Shut up! From now on, all these snacks are mine. Pack them up now! Otherwise, see what I'll do to you!"
"If you want some, I can give you a little, but not all of it, otherwise how am I supposed to give it to you...?"
"Smack!"
Before Bai Xiaoruo could finish speaking, a stinging slap landed directly on her face.
A faint red mark instantly appeared on Bai Xiaoruo's fair face, and she was completely stunned.
"Are you kidding me?! I'm saying this one last time, now! Pack everything up, or you won't be leaving this room today!"
Bai Xiaofu turned her face away and walked out of the kitchen. She needed to call Ziqian and get dressed quickly so as not to be late.
Humming a song as she walked upstairs, Bai Xiaofu was in an incredibly good mood, imagining her son Qian Ge happily eating and praising her when he saw these exquisite little snacks.
After Bai Xiaofu left, Bai Xiaoruo reached out and gently touched the spot on her face where she had been hit. Tears of grievance welled up in her eyes and she could no longer hold back them.
This is clearly the result of my own hard work, so why should I give it all to Bai Xiaofu?
However, she was so weak and useless that she couldn't fight Bai Xiaofu at all, and for so many years, she could only let Bai Xiaofu bully her.
What's the use of crying? No matter how badly she cries, her father and stepmother will still side with Bai Xiaofu and give away all the hard-earned snacks.
Bai Xiaoru sniffed, wiped away her tears with her sleeve, silently found a box, arranged the pastries one by one and put them into the box, then tied a ribbon and packed them up.
The portion for Annie and her grandparents will have to be remade and will be made after Bai Xiaofu leaves.
Although there isn't much left, if we mix it evenly, the amount should be enough.
We have to hurry up and finish it; we should be able to deliver it by noon.
