Chapter 394: Trying hard to lie with your eyes open [
Ye Mei said: "I will definitely be able to come back next year, and then the family can have a New Year's Eve dinner."
Ye Qingyue smiled and said: "That would be great!"
The two sisters were talking, and they didn't notice that when Ye Mei said she was going to come back for the New Year's Eve dinner, Sheng Zhiwu's eyes suddenly dimmed. Knowing that
Ye Mei was very tired after rushing all the way here, Ye Qingyue said a few words to her and accompanied her to eat breakfast.
Sheng Zhiwu sat on the other side of Ye Mei. He ate very quickly, but his eating manners were not ugly. On the contrary, he was very gentle, and it was very pleasing to the eye to accompany that handsome face.
Ye Feng happened to wake up, and went to the kitchen stove to touch the still warm rice, and brought the bowl here to eat together.
While he was eating, he looked up at Ye Mei and Sheng Zhiwu from time to time.
Maybe he was overthinking it, but the eldest sister's eating style was more "refined" than before, while Sheng Zhiwu's eating style was more "rough" than before. The two of them ate in a very neat and uniform manner, somewhat similar.
Until today, Ye Feng still thinks that these two are annoying!
After dinner, Ye Mei and Sheng Zhiwu went to rest.
Ye Xianghong cleaned up a guest room for Sheng Zhiwu to sleep in.
Ye Feng took the initiative to clean up the dishes and the bathroom .
After breakfast, someone from the Jiang family came.
Li Qi and Mr. Jiang knew that today was the granddaughter's birthday party, so they came to help.
But the family would never ask the elderly to help. They were given a plate of soft snacks each and sat on the rocking chair made by Ye Xianghong under the awning in the yard, eating and rocking. From time to time, they would call the younger generation to chat and watch the fun.
As for those who prepared the birthday party, Ye Xianghong and Ye Feng were the main ones, while Ye Qingyue went to the restaurant outside to get the ordered dishes. There were
many guests at home today, so it was impossible for Ye Xianghong and Ye Feng to cook everything. They only cooked part of it to add some homely flavor to the table, and most of it was bought outside.
Before noon, people came to the Huo family one after another, and they were still those familiar faces. When
Mrs. Huo came, she kicked Grandpa Jiang away from the rocking chair and asked her to go to the side with her own grandfather to eat melon seeds.
Poor Grandpa Jiang and Grandpa Huo, two old men with bad teeth, stared at the plate of melon seeds.
Yan Yun brought some cakes that were convenient for the elderly to eat and comforted the two old men.
Huo Qingchi also came with the Huo family. He used to help clean and tidy up when he came to the Ye family, but unfortunately he is inconvenient now and can only sit on a chair and wait for Ye Qingyue to come home. Then
Gao Dongqing, Zhong Jun, and several colleagues who usually get along well with Ye Qingyue from the hospital also came one after another.
Seeing that the dean and the chief of surgery were there, the colleagues in the hospital shrank their necks and talked in corners in a low voice, for fear that Gao Dongqing or Zhong Jun would call on them and ask them to answer professional questions on a whim.
The seniors in the hospital love this the most, just like when you meet your teacher outside in school, the teacher will start by saying: "How is your study? Let me test you."
Jiang Shaoyan's family arrived later.
Jiang Ting used his connections to find a cake chef to make a five-layer cake, and the family carefully transported it to Ye Qingyue's house.
The five-layer cake is based on white cream, decorated with flowers and filled with fruits, and looks very delicate and delicious.
In order to avoid too many people and accidentally knocking the cake over, they specially found a table in an empty room and put the cake on it, and when they want to eat the cake later, they will move to this room.
When the guests are about to arrive, Ye Qingyue also brings the hotel staff to deliver the ordered dishes to the house and set up three tables.
There are many adults in the house, so Ye Qingyue and others are naturally "driven" to the children's table to eat.
Ye Mei and Sheng Zhiwu also woke up, changed clothes and washed up quickly, and came to eat together.
After dinner, they went to the room where the cake was placed to light candles and cut the cake.
"Qingyue, this time, your uncle specially asked someone to make a five-layer cake for you!"
Jiang Ting did not forget to show off his "merit" in front of his niece. He came to the door of the room where the cake was placed, and opened the door with an expression that he wanted to surprise Ye Qingyue——
"That cake is so beautiful... eh?!"
Jiang Ting did not finish his words. When he saw the scene in the house, his voice suddenly stopped. He thought he had seen it wrong, and rubbed his eyes.
Seeing that his expression was wrong, the people around him also looked into the house.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
"Why has the cake become ugly!"
Inside the house, the five-layer cake on the table, the beautiful big flowers squeezed out of the cream, most of them disappeared at some point, and the small cake on the top seemed to have been licked of all the cream, leaving only a layer of bare cake base and a layer of fruit, which looked particularly pitiful. It was not as exquisite as when it was first moved into the house?
Seeing the "terrible" cake, everyone was shocked.
"Will there be mice in the house stealing food?"
"It's impossible for them to only lick the cream if they steal food. Are there mice that picky?"
Everyone talked at once.
Ye Qingyue was also a little puzzled, and subconsciously walked into the house.
As soon as she took a step into the house, she felt a warm current rushing to her face, and immediately understood the key to the problem. Ye
Qingyue asked, "Is there a charcoal brazier in the house?"
"Yes."
Ye Xianghong said, "I always put a charcoal brazier when I go to someone's house."
It was still a little chilly that day, and there were many elderly people here today. Ye Xianghong was afraid that they would catch a cold.
Ye Qingyue said, "The cream in the cake is animal cream, and it will melt if the temperature is high."
After hearing this, everyone realized that it was not the mice that stole the cream, but the cream melted by itself.
Everyone felt a little sorry that such a beautiful cake turned out like this.
Ye Xianghong felt very guilty. She didn't know these things and ruined the birthday cake of the lady.
Seeing his sister's disappointment, Jiang Ting hurriedly comforted her, "Yue'er, I didn't know that the cream on the cake would melt. Blame it on me!"
In the past, only the elderly celebrated their birthdays at home, and they didn't like Western things like cakes.
As for Jiang Shaoyan, why does a boy need to do all these fancy things for his birthday?
It was Ye Qingyue's birthday this year. Jiang Ting heard from his business partner that someone's baby was having a birthday and wanted to buy a cake and blow out the candles. He asked someone to make such a big cake, but he didn't expect the cream to melt.
"What's the big deal? Just think of it as learning new knowledge."
Seeing her mother's low mood, Ye Qingyue took Ye Xianghong's hand and said with a smile: "Next year's birthday, buy me a big cake and don't put a charcoal brazier in the house!"
After hearing what her daughter said, Ye Xianghong cheered up and said: "Next year, I will buy you a six-layer one!"
She made a lot of money from her work and stall now!
She has enough confidence to buy this and that for her child.
Ye Qingyue said sweetly, "Mom, you are the best!"
Then the mother and daughter went into the house.
Seeing this, the others also breathed a sigh of relief. They thought that the atmosphere would be bad with the cake turned into this, but they didn't expect Ye Qingyue to make the atmosphere harmonious again with just a few words.
Everyone went into the house. While Ye Feng and the others were inserting candles, Huo Qingchi suddenly said, "Actually, this creaming is also quite artistic."
Sheng Zhiwu nodded and said, "Indeed, at first glance it is far from the original exquisiteness, but it is also very beautiful."
Seeing the two handsome guys talking around the cake, praising it as if it was free, everyone was brainwashed by them unconsciously and thought that the cake was quite beautiful.
"Does it look good?"
Ye Xianghong, still feeling a little guilty, murmured quietly. As a sculptor, she still had her own aesthetic sense. She thought the cake looked ugly after the cream melted, but everyone seemed to think it looked good. She couldn't help but think that maybe the cake wasn't as ugly as she thought.
Looking at their mother who had been led astray by Huo Qingchi and Sheng Zhiwu, Ye Qingyue and Ye Mei were laughing on the side.
Ye Mei whispered to her, "Those two guys are definitely fooling people, right?"
She thought the cake was ugly, how could it have any artistic sense?
Ye Qingyue said, "Don't expose it, they are trying very hard to save the situation."
It's hard for these two grown men to try to lie with their eyes open just to make everyone happy!
