After lunch, the children were reluctant to rest and gathered around Song Fuyu again.
"Chengzhou, Chengxu, Chengyu, follow me to the kitchen to move the food to the dining room. The others go to the bathroom and wash their hands. Xiaoxue, you are responsible for supervising them. Children who don't wash their hands are not allowed to cook."
I took my three older children to the kitchen and got two large bowls of flour, ten eggs, some sugar, and milk powder... Whether making cookies or cakes, the ingredients used are basically the same.
"Aunt Four, what should we do?"
"With only one afternoon, we can make small cakes, cookies or bread, which are relatively simple."
"What to do will be decided by your vote. The minority shall obey the majority. The loser cannot cheat or cry."
There was a dramatic scene during the voting, with cakes and cookies getting the same votes.
Finally, Song Fuyu waved her hand and said that she would be responsible for making the cake base, and the children would make small cookies. After the cake base was finished, she would let them decorate the cake.
"Chengzhou, go and call your fourth uncle over for me."
"Ah...should I go and call?"
God knows how much he didn't want to accept this task.
"Don't worry, your fourth uncle is not as scary as you think. He just doesn't have any expression, but he won't hit you."
"But his cold face is already scary. He looks even more ferocious than our school's dean."
Although he was very reluctant, but since Fourth Aunt called his name, Yan Chengzhou had no choice but to go outside and call Yan Ziyuan in.
"Wife, what do you want me to do?"
"Go to the kitchen and beat some cream for me. We'll need it later."
When they bought the oven, they also bought an old-fashioned electric egg beater. Now they no longer have to go through the tiring process of stirring the eggs manually.
“Is one basin enough?”
She looked at the children and finally decided to get two pots.
"Aunt Four, can my uncle also make cakes?"
“A little bit, but not much.”
"You guys should study hard later. Once you learn it, you will be better than your fourth uncle."
The lively atmosphere here also attracted the adults in the family, who all came to join in the fun. The two sisters-in-law and the second sister also washed their hands and came to learn together.
“Tsk tsk~”
"Mom, you guys really dote on Ziyuan's wife. So many good things have been wasted like this. How much money must it have cost? It hurts me just to see it."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the adults in the restaurant, except Song Fuyu, changed their expressions.
Song Fuyu disliked this aunt very much, but he didn't want to pay attention to her. She was the elder, and if he argued too much with her, she would easily find fault with him and keep talking about him.
From the first day she entered the Yan family, her aunt always spoke harshly to her.
The reason was simply that she had wanted to introduce her niece from her mother's side to Ziyuan, but her wish was not fulfilled.
She didn't dare to say anything about Ziyuan, a member of the Yan family, so she could only target herself, an "outsider".
"I didn't ask you to spend any money, why are you upset?"
After so many years of being a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Grandma Yan knew very well what the eldest daughter-in-law was up to. She was simply afraid that she and the old man would spend the money on the second son's family.
"Even if I didn't spend any money myself, I feel bad for you two old people having your things ruined like this."
“I really feel bad.”
Grandma Yan glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law unhappily and continued, "During this period, Xiaoyu has been living at home. Not to mention all of it, 80% of what we eat, use and wear is paid for by her."
"The things on the table, the mooncakes and snacks made two days ago, and the oven used to make mooncakes, all of these were bought by her for us old couple."
"Even the food you had at noon today was purchased by Ziyuan at the supply and marketing cooperative, and it was prepared for you to eat and drink for free."
"When Xiaoyu was making things, she took everyone in your family into account. Now that I think about it, I feel bad for her. She shouldn't spend money on unworthy people!"
Xu Li really didn't expect that these things were all bought by Song Fuyu, and she was speechless for a moment.
However, she never believed that Song Fuyu, who came from a humble family, could be so kind. From her perspective, Song Fuyu must have some agenda towards the old couple, which was why he did all this.
"Mom, don't be fooled by the small favors in front of you. Some people are good at pretending..."
"If you have the guts, show me how to act!"
Before Xu Li could finish her words, she was interrupted angrily by Grandma Yan.
"Every time during the holidays, what did you and the eldest brother bring back to us old couple? Have you ever given us a penny?"
“Isn’t this because you don’t need it?”
When it comes to this, Xu Li also knows that she is in the wrong.
She had thought about bringing something back for the old couple before, but when she thought about how their pension was higher than her and Changmin's salary, and that they lived with the second son and his family, she always felt that what she brought back would be given to the second son and his family by her parents-in-law. In the end, she simply didn't bring anything back, as they really didn't need anything.
"We don't need any, so we don't need to be polite?"
"Is this what your Xu family taught you?!"
"Your parents taught you that no matter what money you make, you don't have to worry about your parents-in-law, you just need to take it back to your parents' home, right?!"
Grandma Yan tried her best to control her scolding voice so as not to scare the many children in the restaurant.
But just because she didn't tell you about some things before, it doesn't mean she really doesn't know about them!
She just wanted to maintain peace at home, so she chose to keep things quiet.
The eldest brother was always short-sighted, used to sowing discord, and liked to maliciously speculate about others. If it weren't for the good relationship between her and the eldest brother, she would have wanted her to get out of the Yan family a long time ago!
