There were too many words to write, so Su Qianqian used this title to express her congratulations to Cheng Yue.
"I'll divide it up. If you want more, just tell me."
"I want more!" the female colleague said a little shyly, but she knew that if she missed it, she would have nothing to eat. In front of the cake, it was okay to embarrass herself, so she had to eat more.
Su Qianqian divided the cake so that everyone could have a piece, the only difference was whether there was more or less.
"Auntie Su, it's delicious. I declare that you are the person I admire the most!" Qiangzi announced loudly.
"Me too, me too!" the other children announced immediately, and they all surrounded Su Qianqian, just like the king of the children.
The cake was sweet but not greasy, about 30% to 40% sweet, just right. The cake base was very soft. She took a lot of effort to make it. In an era with incomplete equipment, being able to make a cake was already very good.
The whole big cake was eaten up, mainly because no one had ever eaten it before, so it was very new and everyone finished it all.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Cheng Yue began to plan to end the dinner.
Anyway, everyone finished eating everything Su Qianqian cooked. There was still some food he cooked left, not much, so everyone was still giving him face. The food he cooked was still delicious, but it couldn't compare to his wife's.
"I really envy your wife. I wish my husband could be so considerate. When he gets home, he does nothing and just sits there like a big boss." A lesbian complained.
"I'll do it. I'll start from tomorrow. I'll learn from Comrade Cheng Yue. Only in this way can I get promoted!"
"Oh, you have a very high level of ideological awareness."
The atmosphere remained cheerful throughout the meal. After a while, everyone stood up to say goodbye, and Cheng Yue saw them off downstairs.
When he came back, he cleared the table first, then asked, "Do you want to eat something? Did you eat just now?"
"I ate. I'm full."
"Then go take a shower and go to bed. I'll clean up here."
Su Qianqian was really tired, so she didn't refuse. She asked the three kids to help Cheng Yue while she went to wash up and get ready for bed.
When she was half asleep, she felt someone hugging her and then saying something in her ear, but she was too sleepy and fell asleep again without hearing clearly.
I finally woke up in the morning feeling comfortable and refreshed.
Seeing that Cheng Yue was still asleep, she quietly sat up and waved her hand at his face: Bad guy, I let you bully me all the time! You made me unable to get out of bed! You unrestrained dog man, you are so tired! I will beat you up!
They were having a great time when Cheng Yue suddenly opened his eyes. She was startled and their eyes met, feeling a little awkward.
"You, what are you doing?"
"I...tested your alertness to see if you would wake up." She withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened. "The conclusion is that you were not alert enough. You didn't wake up until I waved at you for a long time."
After saying this, she wanted to get out of bed quickly, fearing that she wouldn't be able to hold it in.
But just as he was about to go down, he was pulled back. "Is that so? I'll give you one more chance, think about what to say."
"Oh, I just wanted to beat you up." Just say it, who's afraid of who!
"I told you, you want to beat me up!" Cheng Yue immediately held her face and kissed her hard, "Then I'll kiss you!"
After making a fuss for a while, he got up.
They soon went back to Tianshui Brigade. They had to deal with some things recently and would be gone for more than half a month. The distance was so far that it was difficult for them to get back in time for some things, and it was even inconvenient to connect the phone. They could only try their best to get it done before departure.
"Mom, can we invite Chu Luo to our house for dinner?" Daya found Su Qianqian and asked in a low voice.
"Huh? Did Chu Luo want to come here on his own?" She remembered that this was a very quiet child.
"No, Chu Luo's parents haven't gone home yet, only his grandparents are. Aren't we going back to Tianshui Brigade soon? I want to invite Chu Luo to our house for a good meal, is that okay?" Daya asked cautiously.
Su Qianqian smiled and said, "Of course, but he has to be willing to come."
"Okay, let's go ask him."
Su Qianqian has not gone to work in the canteen during this period. She will go back after the New Year. Her superiors understand. After all, the children are on vacation and she has to take care of them and pack up to go back home. It would be too tiring to go to the canteen to work again.
In the afternoon, the three little ones brought Chu Luo home. He had a stern face, like an old cadre. He didn't smile much. He just called out "Hello, uncle and auntie" and didn't say anything else.
"You guys play with your classmates, and mom will make you something to eat."
“Thank you, Mom!”
The three little ones took Chu Luo into the room to play.
Occasionally, laughter could be heard from the room, indicating that they were having a good time.
Su Qianqian made a lot of things that children like to eat, including candied haws, and she made strawberry candied haws.
After knocking on the door, she opened it and went in.
"Come, I've made some candied haws. One string for each of you."
There was a slight change on Chu Luo's dry face. Apparently, even the most serious child couldn't resist the temptation of candied haws.
"Thank you, Auntie." He took it and a child's joy appeared on his face.
This boy is very good-looking and he will probably be a handsome man when he grows up.
"Eat, there will be other delicious food later."
After she went out, Daya looked at Chu Luo and said, "Chu Luo, you can come to my house often in the future. I have a lot of delicious food at home."
"How can that be so embarrassing?"
"It doesn't matter. You're just a kid and you can't eat much. But we are friends who have been together for life!" Erbao reached for Chu Luo's shoulder. He was still a little shorter than Chu Luo, but he couldn't lose in momentum.
Chu Luo smiled, but his smile was a little shy. He didn't like to laugh, but he looked cute when he did.
"In fact, we were also very pitiful when we were little. From the time we were born until our father came back, we had never seen him. We thought he was gone. Let me tell you in secret, before my mother broke her head, she beat us every day."
"Shh, don't tell anyone. Mom has become the best mom ever. So, you should learn from us and be as positive as we are!"
Chu Luo was helpless and pulled Erbao's arm away, "I don't believe you were so positive before."
"Oh, I also have to save my face, please don't expose me!" Erbao scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Anyway, if you want to eat something delicious in the future, just come to my house. We are good friends! You can't refuse!"
Chu Luo pursed his lips and said nothing, which was equivalent to not refusing.
Su Qianqian prepared dinner and asked them to eat, but Cheng Yue was busy today and couldn't go home for dinner.
"Eat more of what you like and eat less of what you don't like. Don't be polite." Su Qianqian said to Chu Luo gently.
"Thank you, Auntie." Although Chu Luo looked like a cold boy, he was still very polite.
"Did you tell your grandparents about this today?"
"As I said, grandma told me to go home early after eating."
"Mom, Chu Luo brought something too." Daya pointed to the malted milk and a bag of brown sugar placed by the wall.
Su Qianqian noticed it only then, "Why did you bring something with you? Take it back later."
"Grandpa and grandma said that we can't ask for other people's things for free. Auntie, if you don't accept it, I can't come to eat here anymore."
