"Mrs. Liu, could you please help me fry the glutinous rice flour until it turns light beige."

"Xiao Yu, do we need glutinous rice flour to make mooncakes?"

Mrs. Liu has made mooncakes before, but she doesn’t know which step requires glutinous rice flour.

"This time I'm going to show you how to make two kinds of mooncakes, one traditional mooncake and one snowy mooncake."

"The skin of the ice mooncake is made of glutinous rice flour. After frying, let it cool and then add a little oil to steam it. Finally, wrap the fillings and put it in the refrigerator for a while before eating. Not only is it simple to make, but it doesn't require an oven. It's just right for eating in this weather."

The four of them were busy in the kitchen. Yan Ziyuan and Grandpa Yan would come in from time to time to check on their progress.

Song Fuyu did not let them idle. He asked one of them to press the mooncake skin while the other knead the filling. Grandma was responsible for wrapping the mooncakes, while mother pressed the round balls into mooncakes one by one.

"Old Yan, where are the people?"

"Why is the front door open and no one in the living room?"

When Mr. Jin and his wife were free, they would come to the Yan family every now and then to sit down, and sometimes they would even have a meal before leaving. Especially during this period when Song Fuyu was at home, she often cooked, so the old couple of the Jin family came even more frequently.

"Why are you yelling at someone else's house? Does your own stool hurt your butt? Why do you always come to our house?"

"It's just that the chairs at home are prickly, so I have to come to your house to sit."

Following the sound, the old couple of the Jin family came to the kitchen.

"Oh, what a coincidence! I just happened to come to your house to make mooncakes. I must shamelessly try some."

"Go! I won't give it to you!"

"You always want to come to our house to take advantage. I'm giving you face!"

The others around them were used to the two old men quarreling with each other as soon as they met. They had been talking to each other like this since they knew each other when they were young. They didn't get angry because of the other's harsh words. Instead, the more they quarreled, the better their relationship became.

"When did Ziyuan come back?"

"I just got home last night."

"It's true that things are different after marriage. I go home more often."

"That's right, grandsons are not as caring as granddaughters-in-law."

"When I was in the army, I didn't see him for two or three years. Now that I have a wife, he follows her wherever she goes. He comes home more times a year than he did before he got married."

The elders of the Yan family were very happy about this change.

After all, there is no normal elder who doesn't want his or her younger generations to go home more often.

"Grandpas, please stop teasing me."

"Isn't it because my boss is considering that I've only been married for a few months and wants me to have more rest?"

The two shrewd old men obviously didn't believe what he said, and looked like, "Let's see how you can argue."

"Okay... stop staring. I know I'm wrong, isn't that enough?"

Why didn't he go home during his leave before? It was because he was always urged to get married. He was very annoyed by the constant urging, so in order to avoid any unpleasantness, he could only choose to hide in the army.

The emperor is far away and the sky is high. Even if you want to urge him, you can't.

"Grandpa, I'll come back more often in the future."

"If I have the opportunity to open a clothing factory back in Beijing in the future, I will go home every day. Don't find me annoying then."

"As long as you are willing to come back and live here, you can stay as long as you want!"

She likes the world of a couple, but she also doesn't object to living with her elders. Both have their advantages.

The elders of the Yan family were not the kind of people who would interfere in the private affairs of the younger generation. They never asked her to do this or that. Instead, they gave her more love and care.

Even though she often spent money on unnecessary things, they never said a word, as long as she was happy.

What touched her most was that Grandpa Yan and Father Yan knew exactly how much money she had earned, but they never thought of asking her to confiscate the money or use it to help other brothers and sisters-in-law who were not as well off as they were.

They would help her keep it a secret from other members of her family and would not let anyone get their hands on the money she earned.

As for Grandma Yan and Yan's mother, they both said that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is one of the most difficult in the world, but whether at home or outside, they would only say good things about her and would not complain about her faults. When some people in the compound said bad things about her, Yan's mother would directly refute them without mercy and defend her in every way.

She cherished such a good family, so as long as they were willing, she would not object to living with them.

..........

Several people have been making mooncakes for the whole morning, but they haven't finished yet and have to continue working in the afternoon.

In addition to eating it himself, Song Fuyu also planned to give some to some familiar families in the compound.

"Grandma, do you have kraft paper and colored paper at home?"

"Yes, it's left over from your wedding to Ziyuan. I'll get it for you."

"Please help me get the brush and ink and put them on the coffee table."

Grandma Yan washed her hands and left the kitchen.

"Girl, what are you doing?"

"These mooncakes took our family so long to make. It would be unfair to just give them away bare. So I want to wrap them in a way that makes them look more formal and shows how much our family values ​​the recipients."

"Okay, tell me how to do it, and I'll help you."

"Grandpa Jin will help you too."

"You old devil, you have your share of problems everywhere. It's not your family's fault. Do we still need your help for so many people?"

"You don't want to put a name on the mooncakes we make, do you?"

"Didn't I help just now?"

"Come on, you just took the mooncake mold and knocked it twice. Not only did you not help much, you even got a free lunch at our house."

"Thank goodness I'm magnanimous, otherwise I would have sent you home long ago."

"The mooncakes were made by Xiaoyu and everyone else. As long as she doesn't chase me away, I won't leave."

"Xiao Yu girl, tell me, can I stay here with your Grandpa Jin?"

"Um... this..."

She didn't expect that the two of them would turn their anger towards her. She was really the one who got caught in the crossfire silently!

"How about you pack the mooncakes prepared for your family yourself?"

"Everything I make belongs to our family?"

"Old Jin, you are dreaming!"
