Lin Jingshu was holding the first batch of mooncakes out of the oven, and before she put it down, she noticed the children leaning on the door frame, looking up with anticipation.
She smiled and said, "The mooncakes taste better after they cool down and the oil is absorbed. Can you wait a little longer?"
The mooncakes were right in front of them, so they didn’t waste any time, so the children agreed.
The oven is not very big, so one oven can hold twelve mooncakes, with some left over for each person.
The sweet aroma of mooncakes floated over the family compound.
"Who made this delicious food? Why does it smell so good?"
The military wives who were chatting outside were attracted by the aroma, and the children who were playing were clamoring for delicious food.
Sun Yongkang licked the corner of his mouth and said, "Brother, I want to eat too."
Sun Yongjian: "Let's go home and find mom."
Feng Jinhua had smelled the fragrance a long time ago, and her stomach, which had just finished a meal, was growling again. She rushed out angrily. Who did this? Isn't this torture?
Following the smell, I found that it came from Lin Jingshu's house.
She didn't dare get too close, so she lay down at the corner, found two stones to put under her feet, and tiptoed to look inside.
The mooncakes have absorbed oil, making them easier to cut. Lin Jingshu marked the mooncakes in advance and cut a little of each to make it easier for everyone to eat.
From Feng Jinhua's perspective, Lin Jingshu was holding a golden mooncake in her hand, which looked even more tempting in the sunlight.
The closer she got, the stronger the fragrance became, and Feng Jinhua felt like she was lying in a honey pot.
Sugar is not cheap. Is Lin Jingshu so rich?
Look at those plates of mooncakes, they make you unable to move your feet.
Her mouth was constantly drooling, with an unknown liquid at the corners of her mouth. She licked the corners of her mouth and touched her rumbling stomach.
Can I get mooncakes if I come here now?
Lin Jingshu felt a chill on her neck and shivered. She turned around and didn't find anything wrong.
Could it be that she hasn't slept well recently?
Lin Jingshu was puzzled.
Feng Jinhua squatted on the stone, stroking her chest to calm her inner anxiety.
Fortunately, she hid in time, otherwise she would have been discovered by Lin Jingshu.
"Mom, what are you doing here?"
There was a sudden sound behind her, and Feng Jinhua was startled and fell on her butt.
"Ouch, my butt."
There is a pepper tree in the corner of the wall that was planted by the family who lived there before. It was left there when the branches were pruned in the spring and no one took care of it.
Feng Jinhua fell directly into the pepper bush.
Not only her buttocks, but also her palms and elbows were pierced, and she grimaced in pain.
In excruciating pain and afraid of being discovered, Feng Jinhua didn't bother to treat the wound. She got up and was about to take her son's ear home.
"What are you doing, Sister Feng? Don't even think about lying on top of my wall and looking at the scenery."
Lin Jingshu narrowed her eyes and looked at Feng Jinhua with a sharp look.
No wonder she felt someone was staring at her just now. It turned out to be Feng Jinhua.
If I hadn't heard her scream, I wouldn't have noticed it.
This person has nothing to do every day, and she is either eavesdropping on other people's affairs. Lin Jingshu has long disliked her.
She came to you on her own initiative today, so don't blame her for being rude.
The moment she heard Lin Jingshu's voice, Feng Jinhua bit her lower lip in annoyance. How could she have been discovered by her?
The moment before she looked up, she prayed in her heart that she was the only one coming out.
When I saw the scene clearly, I felt hopeless.
Everyone who was in the yard came out, even the three children.
Sun Yongjian saw the mooncake in Ji Xin's hand and swallowed his saliva. It turned out that the fragrance came from here.
"Hey, Ji Xin, give me the mooncake and I'll give you the sandbag to play with."
Sun Yongjian raised the sandbag in his hand.
The originally colorful sandbags now turned gray and were covered in mud.
Ji Xin said with disdain: "I don't want your sandbag."
The sandbag his mother made for him is a hundred times more beautiful than the one in Sun Yongjian's hand.
Ji Xin deliberately took a big bite of the mooncake and exclaimed loudly, "The red bean paste mooncakes are so delicious!"
Memorial & Wang Jiajia: "It's so delicious!"
The three children sang in unison, one voice after another.
Sun Yongjian was annoyed, "Mom, I want to eat mooncakes too."
Sun Yongkang: "I want one too."
Feng Jinhua already felt ashamed for making a fool of herself in front of so many people, and the two children's howling made her even angrier.
"Okay, it's just mooncakes, let's go back and buy some."
Sun Yongjian refused to do it. The food from the supply and marketing cooperative was not as delicious as the one from Ji Xin, nor did it look as good as his.
Feng Jinhua gritted her teeth and thought that since she had already lost face, it didn't matter if she lost one or two more things.
"Comrade Lin, the two children love mooncakes the most. Can you give them two pieces? I'll buy them and return them to you later."
Lin Jingshu raised her eyebrows. She would rather believe that pie would fall from the sky than believe that Feng Jinhua would come back.
"That's too much trouble. I have a better idea."
"What's the idea?"
Feng Jinhua vaguely felt that she had bad intentions.
Lin Jingshu: "You don't have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, just come to me and save yourself an extra trip."
Feng Jinhua subconsciously retorted, "How can that be? Isn't this a private transaction?"
She is not a fool. If she gives the money to Lin Jingshu, she will still lose money.
This is not her style.
"Comrade Lin, I'm not saying anything too much, but you're being too stingy. The child is only a little old, and you're being so fussy about eating two of your mooncakes. It won't sound good if people tell others about it."
Feng Jinhua's words contained threats.
If Lin Jingshu refused, she would just publicize the matter and make a fuss about it, so that she could also experience the feeling of being pointed at by others.
Lin Jingshu: "Sister Feng, you are so arrogant. We bought the ingredients ourselves and spent half a day making the mooncakes. If you say anything, I have to give the mooncakes away. How can you be so shameless?"
Su Hongping: "That's right. I've seen people with thick skin, but I've never seen anyone as thick-skinned as you."
Miao Fenglan put her hands on her waist and stood in front of Lin Jingshu, "Why don't you guys go to the supply and marketing cooperative quickly? It will be closed after get off work."
Feng Jinhua's face turned red and she turned to look at Gu Chengze. She didn't believe that Gu Chengze would have the nerve to refuse.
Gu Chengze stared at Sun Yongjian and Sun Yongkang, and spun the mooncake in his hand in the air.
"The mooncakes are so delicious, one yuan each, you'll never find them again."
One dollar!
One dollar can buy five mooncakes at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Feng Jinhua took a few steps back and said, "Son, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some for you. The ones there are ten times more fragrant than these."
Sun Yongjian pouted and said, "His mother is talking nonsense. The mooncakes he bought last year were not delicious at all. He doesn't want to eat them this year."
Feng Jinhua grabbed his hand tightly and dragged the two children away without saying a word.
Sun Yongjian and Sun Yongkang looked back reluctantly, their eyes glued to the mooncakes.
Ji Xin showed off proudly, making them envious.
Feng Jinhua left in disgrace and took her two children to the supply and marketing cooperative.
They were lucky, the supply and marketing cooperative was still open.
Feng Jinhua slammed the bill on the table and said, "Give me ten mooncakes."
The waiter propped himself up lazily and said lightly, "We're late. The mooncakes are gone."
Feng Jinhua thought to herself that this was not good.
Sure enough, the next second the two children burst into tears.
