Outside the Lu family's courtyard, a large number of young boys gathered all day long, and An Wan's every move caused a great sensation.
They were even stalked and harassed.
Unable to go out and play, she had no choice but to stay at home making pastries.
Who told Grandpa He to come to the Lu family to help with poverty alleviation?
There's a lot of fruit and candy at home these days, and we can't finish all kinds of meat.
This time, she plans to make steamed rice cakes and flower cakes to repay Grandpa He's kindness.
For the past two weeks, she has been showing off her cooking skills in front of Yunping and the others, and she has also made a point of displaying her talent and skill in making pastries.
I just hope to have the opportunity to take the pastries to the county town to sell soon. With my skills, I'm sure I can sell them.
Actually, she wanted to make various baked pastries such as peach blossom pastries and walnut pastries, but unfortunately the Lu family did not have the means to do so at the moment.
Around three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the first batch of steamed rice cakes and flower cakes came out of the oven.
An Wan gave the first piece of steamed cake to Grandpa He, and the second piece to Yunping.
Lu Jiayan was given a piece of flower cake, because he likes osmanthus.
This is made with osmanthus flowers, but instead of water chestnut flour, this time glutinous rice flour is used.
Its distinctive feature is its crystal-clear appearance, with osmanthus flowers suspended within it, making it exceptionally beautiful.
It has a moist and soft texture, a sweet and delicious taste, and is shaped like a flower, making it very beautiful.
She finally ate a piece of flower cake.
Lu Zhili and Lu Chunhe were still outside chopping wood while using brooms to chase away the boys who were trying to bother them.
An Wan took some pastries outside and immediately attracted the attention of the few boys who hadn't been chased away yet.
Of course, there were also quite a few girls and some middle-aged women outside the courtyard wall.
Many people missed seeing An Wan's stunning beauty yesterday evening, so they came here today because of her.
Because everyone says she looks like an angel, and you're captivated at first glance.
Who can resist the urge to try it?
"Wow--"
When they saw An Wan's face, everyone was stunned, and only one word came out of their mouths.
"Wanwan—Wanwan—"
"Wanwan, these are flowers, aren't they beautiful! I'm giving them to you."
"I have a cake! Wanwan, you can have it!"
Several boys were leaning against the wall, holding flowers or cakes and candies.
Lu Zhili quickly pulled her into the house, and Lu Chunhe, who came in afterward, closed the door tightly.
As Lu Yanshu ate his rice cake, he watched An Wan being pulled into the house and protected from the wind, and he thought she was such a nuisance.
It would have been better to be a clown duck before.
It's been so noisy outside these past two days, making it inconvenient for me to go out.
Even when I go out, I get bothered by a lot of guys asking me all sorts of questions. It's so annoying.
"Delicious~ This pastry is so delicious!" He Yurou took a bite and a super happy and satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"Wanwan, you're so amazing! You can make pastries at such a young age, but I can't even stir-fry some vegetables. I feel so stupid."
She wondered if Jingxing liked girls who were good at cooking.
Instead of being a girl like myself who can only study and knows nothing else.
"Sister Yurou, I think it's great that you don't have to lift a finger. At least you won't get tired, and your hands will grow long and beautiful."
This is An Wan's true thought, but—
"Moreover, cooking skills often depend on talent and interest. If you don't have either, then don't ruin the kitchen."
An Wan felt that He Yurou kept talking about her luxurious lifestyle because she liked Lu Jingxing.
You could tell from the way she looked at him.
That affectionate, lovestruck look really embarrassed An Wan.
Because she could tell that her older brother didn't like He Yurou and there was no spark between them.
"Hahaha." These words made He Yurou burst into laughter.
"If you could learn even a little bit of An Wan's skills, this old man would have no regrets even if he died."
Grandpa He stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
He felt his body was getting worse and worse. Although he felt much better these past few days in Lujia Village, he was still nearing the end of his life.
His biggest worry is his two grandchildren.
He never worried about his son and daughter-in-law; those two selfish people wouldn't tolerate the slightest grievance.
He Sichen came out of Lu Jingxing's room and into the living room, holding a cat in his arms.
Hearing Grandpa He say something like "I have no regrets about dying."
He couldn't help but feel sad.
The old man's lifespan is running out; in his previous life, he passed away in the last few days.
"Grandpa He, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old and in good health." An Wan felt a pang of pain in her heart and ran over to throw herself into Grandpa He's arms.
She genuinely liked Grandpa He; he treated her very, very well.
This was the first time she had experienced her grandfather's love and affection.
Once she had it, she didn't want to lose it.
In any case, she would find a way to resolve the black fog hanging over his head.
I believe that as long as this black mist is dispelled, he will be able to live for a very, very long time.
But what exactly is this method?
Feeling guilty these past few days, all she could do was give Grandpa He more spiritual spring water to drink to alleviate his discomfort.
"Oh my, Wanwan speaks so sweetly." When Grandpa He saw the soft and cute An Wan, all his physical discomfort disappeared.
Lu Jingxing and Lu Jingming followed behind into the living room, where they heard cheerful laughter echoing from inside.
At that time, the sunlight was faint.
Life is peaceful and serene.
"Meow~" Hmph!
The cat nestled in He Sichen's arms raised its proud little head and meowed at An Wan.
If you look closely, you'll see that the corners of his mouth are turned up, revealing a smile that's not quite a smile.
