Chapter 171 How come this is still such a popular thing?

Ever since the Li family lost power, the family has been

living in poverty day by day. Her parents were ostracized everywhere and couldn’t find a job. In the end, they had to make a living by hauling coal... But Li Yiyi had always lived a life of luxury, with food and clothes provided for her. She couldn’t get used to falling to this point.

During this time, she often found her former playmates, hoping to get some. At first, everyone thought she was pitiful and didn’t care about it. Her family conditions were good, so they didn’t care about this.

But as time went by, everyone started to stay away from her. Li Yiyi didn’t feel embarrassed to take other people’s things. Instead, she felt that everyone was her friend and it was their duty to help her when she was in trouble!

After a while, everyone has seen through her character. In the past, they were close to her only for her uncle's sake. Now, what has happened to her family? She is so shameless!

The last time Li Yiyi got together with her friends, it was a little sister's birthday. At that time, she invited several girls to come and play.

The girl felt sorry for Li Yiyi and thought it would be okay to invite her to come and play, but she was really rude!

Originally, her family ordered a cake for her birthday. The cake was ordered to be eight inches. There were many people in the family, so everyone had a small piece.

As a result, Li Yiyi tasted it and thought it was delicious, so she ate several pieces in a row!

In the end, the birthday boy’s parents didn’t get to eat it…

That was the first time Li Yiyi heard about this new thing called cake, and she has been thinking about it ever since. Unfortunately, with her family’s financial situation, she can’t even eat one a year.

At this moment, I saw Tong Xiayue and Ji Jiashu on the street, with a little kid beside them. The little girl was chewing a chicken leg in her hand, and it was so delicious!

Li Yiyi saw the big chicken leg in Ji Xiaoni’s hand, and her mouth was drooling! Is

Tong Xiayue’s life so good now?

The sight turned to the back seat of the bicycle pushed by Ji Jiashu, and a super big cake was placed on it!

It was two times bigger than the one she had eaten at her friend’s house before!

Where did Tong Xiayue get the money to buy such a big cake? !

I heard them say that cakes are very expensive before!

The point is that no one can tell where to buy this cake. Everyone can only buy it through others.

Li Yiyi was not convinced. How could she eat cake and chicken legs while she had to go hungry every day!

Looking at Tong Xiayue's dress and the bags of things she brought today, she must be living a rich life now. Li Yiyi began to make small calculations in her mind.

Tong Xiayue and Ji Jiashu didn't think so much. At this moment, they just wanted to bring delicious and fun things to celebrate Xiaoze's birthday.

But Ji Jiashu was a soldier after all, and his observation ability was superb. At this moment, he easily caught the strange looks from all around.

He leaned close to Tong Xiayue's ear and reminded her, "Wife, we should be more low-key next time we go out. Look, everyone around us is looking at the cake. Will such a fuss have an impact on you?"

Tong Xiayue looked around and was surprised, "I didn't expect... I must pay attention next time."

The two of them came to Gu's house carrying large and small bags, and brought a little girl with them.

Since it was Ozawa's birthday, everyone arrived early. Tong Xiayue walked in and saw that everyone was waiting for them, so she quickly said, "Sorry for being late. I brought too many things, and it was not convenient to ride a bike."

Liu Zhen saw that the two of them were carrying a lot of things in their hands, so she hurried over to take them, "Why did you bring so many things? I just asked you to come for a meal and see how troublesome it is for you."

Aunt Cao saw that there was a lot of food in the bag, so she quickly took it into the kitchen, put it on a plate and brought it out, "Miss, you brought so much food, everyone is in for a treat today!"

Everyone at the table stared at Aunt Cao carrying several plates of braised meat and duck. They hadn't eaten these for a while, and they were really craving them now!

After the dishes were served, everyone started to eat. Xiaoze was wearing new clothes today. He always looked clean and tidy, even though it was his birthday today...

Ji Xiaoni had been staring at Gu Ze since she entered the door. Gu Ze today was different from what she usually saw at school. He looked even better!

Ji Xiaoni raised the water glass in her hand high: "Happy birthday, Gu Ze!"

All eyes at the table were on Xiaoni, which made her feel a little embarrassed and her face turned red.

Gu Ze looked at Ji Xiaoni. She was also a little different today, as if...

she had dressed up!

Seeing that her son didn't respond, Liu Zhen quickly poked him with her elbow: "What are you doing? Xiao Ni is wishing you a happy birthday!"

At Liu Zhen's reminder, Gu Ze picked up the water cup in front of him and raised it to Xiao Ni's cup in front of him and clinked it with Xiao Ni's cup: "Thank you."

As expected, he was very cool !

Ji Xiao Ni seemed to have adapted to his tone and attitude. She was very happy to hear him say thank you.

Tong Xiayue turned her head and saw Xiao Ni lowering her head, but her face was as red as a ripe tomato!

The world of children is so hard to understand...

After the family finished their meal happily, Tong Xiayue asked Aunt Cao to take out the cake.

Before, the cakes that Tong Xiayue brought were cup cakes or cake slices. This time, she directly took out a ten-inch cake!

Everyone was surprised to see such a big cake!

Especially Ji Xiaoni and Gu Ze, they are children after all, so they were extremely excited when they saw the delicious food!

Ye Chunxiang smiled at Gu Ze like a child when she saw such a big cake, "Xiao Ze, I'm really thanks to you today! I can eat a lot of cake!"

After that, she turned and looked at Tong Xiayue, "Little sister, you don't know, the children of the teachers in our school have all bought cakes made by you for their birthdays. I am so proud every time I hear that, but I can't say that it was made by my little sister. Tell me, isn't it aggrieved?"

Tong Xiayue smiled and said, "It's not aggrieved. Think about it, you don't even have to place an order, just come to me when you want to eat it. How can it be aggrieved?"

After hearing her words, Ye Chunxiang immediately felt that what she said made sense, and smiled, "Hey, it really is! Not aggrieved at all!"

Gu Qizhen and Grandpa Gu have been in the army recently. They have never seen Tong Xiayue deliver cakes several times. This is also the first time they have seen this thing called "cake".

Grandpa Gu walked around the cake and said with a smile: "Is this thing really edible? Why does it look so colorful?"

Liu Zhen smiled and said: "Grandpa, don't underestimate this cake. It's very fashionable in Beijing now. Families with better conditions are scrambling to order it. If you place an order late, my sister won't make it for you!"

Grandpa Gu looked at Tong Xiayue and said in disbelief: "Oh, really? How come this is still such a popular thing?"

Gu Qizheng was also puzzled. Doesn't this just look like a big cake with some sticky stuff on it? Why do they say it's so magical?

Seeing that Grandpa Gu and Gu Qizheng were so curious, Tong Xiayue quickly divided the cake. The first piece was given to Grandpa Gu, then Gu Qizheng, then the little birthday star Gu Ze, and the other adults each got a piece.

Grandpa Gu held the plate, looked at the cake inside and asked curiously: "Xingxing, what is in the middle?"

Tong Xiayue explained: "Grandpa, it's honeydew melon."

There are not many fruits available now. In summer, watermelon and honeydew melon are the main fruits, but watermelon has too much water and is not suitable for making sandwiches, so Tong Xiayue finally chose honeydew melon.
