"Lingdang, you and your friend wait here for a moment. Doctor Wang is examining Qiaoqiao upstairs and will be down soon," Aunt Zhou said as she asked someone to bring them two cups of tea.
"Auntie Zhou, please help me clean this up. My friend made it. Sister Qiao went to my place yesterday and ate two pieces. She thought they were pretty good, so she brought some more over," Lingling said, handing the things Chunlian had put on the table to Auntie Zhou.
"Ah? Really? That's great. Qiaoqiao hasn't been able to eat much lately. Thank you so much," Aunt Zhou said to Panyan gratefully.
"Don't say that. It's my honor that Mrs. Sheng likes it."
"Okay, Aunt Zhou, please don't play tricks on me. These pastries are still hot. Please take them out and give them to Sister Qiao."
"Okay, then you sit down."
"Sister Lingdang" Xiao Ran and Xiao Che heard Lingdang coming and jumped down from upstairs. Seeing that there were outsiders, they quickly stopped and became much more steady.
"Xiao Ran, Xiao Che, come here quickly and let your sister see if you have grown taller."
"Xiao Che has grown taller, but my sister hasn't," Xiao Che said proudly.
"Why is Sister Lingdang here today? Mom said that Sister is getting married, so she will be very busy during this period."
"This is my friend Pan Yan, she made some delicious food and sent it to your mother. These are Sister Qiao's twin children, Xiaoran and Xiaoche." Lingdang briefly introduced them.
"Wow, you are so good-looking," Pan Yan praised. This was her first time seeing twins. She was surprised and amazed. The two children did not look exactly the same, but they had inherited the best qualities of their parents. The parents were already amazing, and the two children were even more amazing.
"Thank you Auntie Panyan, and thank you for the cakes on behalf of my mother," Xiao Che said sweetly.
"You kid, when did you become so sweet-mouthed?" Sheng Yanchuan helped Nanqiao down from upstairs, and Xiao Che's voice fell into Nanqiao's ears. He couldn't help but find it a little funny. This kid is so good at coaxing people. Who knows how many girls he will seduce when he grows up.
"Mom!" Xiao Ran and Xiao Che looked over there as soon as they heard Nan Qiao's voice, their eyes sparkling.
"Sister Qiao, Master Er", "Mrs. Sheng, Mr. Sheng"
Lingdang and Panyan stood up and greeted the two.
"Please sit down. Thank you for coming all the way to deliver these foods." Nanqiao said, looking at the plate of pastries on the table that was not as exquisite as the others.
"I was a bit pressed for time, so it doesn't look very good. Mrs. Sheng, please try it. If you like it, I will make it better next time."
"It's okay," Nanqiao said, and took the small cake handed to her by Sheng Yanchuan. It was pink and tender, and the petals were not quite symmetrical. It was obvious that there was no mold and it was purely handmade. It was really thoughtful.
Nanqiao had just eaten something, so he wasn't very hungry right now, but he still took a small bite. The pastry was still warm, and the lotus paste filling was sweet and delicious without being greasy. It tasted really good.
“This one is delicious too”
"Okay, then I will combine the cakes I deliver every day and send more varieties."
"Okay," Nanqiao replied with a faint smile.
"This is the first month's fee. If it's not enough, ask Aunt Zhou to settle it later." Sheng Yanchuan took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and put it on the table. He didn't know how much these cakes cost, but no matter how much, Nanqiao liked it.
"This... this is too much!" Pan Yan didn't dare to accept it. In the past, she made cakes and her husband sold them from door to door. Even when business was best and they sold out, they only made ten yuan or so. A month at most was just over 200 yuan. Now he gave 100 yuan... and that was just for one person. You have to know that Mr. and Mrs. Sheng only asked for two to three servings. This 100 yuan would be enough for a quarter, let alone a month.
"Just keep an eye on it. If you think it's too much, use some better quality ingredients."
"Don't worry, Mr. Sheng!" Pan Yan responded, thinking that she would have to go back and research and make some ingredients that are good for pregnant women and children, and she must make sure that the money Mr. Sheng gave her is worth it.
"Sister Qiao, there's one more thing," Lingdang said, placing the contract Xia Tian had sent her this morning on the table and briefly explaining the budget overruns and the balance of payments at the end of the year.
"Just buy it for him. If you don't, he'll come to your door again someday." Nanqiao looked at the amount on the contract and shook his head helplessly. It was indeed over budget, but it was nothing compared to the profit he brought.
"Okay, I got it," the bell answered.
"Then we'll leave first, Sister Qiao. I'll take the things you want to give to my uncle back with me." Seeing that everything was settled, Lingdang planned to leave.
"You drove here, right? I'll have the security guard take you to your car." After Nanqiao said that, Sheng Yanchuan called for someone to make arrangements. Since there were only three of them going, Nanqiao didn't prepare too many things. They were all the specialties of Shanghai that my uncle liked to eat.
"Okay, then Sister Qiao, we'll leave first. Please don't come out." Lingdang said hello to Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao, and then took Pan Yan out of the house. When they walked out of the door, the security guard had already put all the things in the trunk.
Meng Meng watched these people loading things into the car and stood aside curiously. When she heard them say that it was Mrs. Sheng who ordered them to put things in, she stood aside and waited obediently. Seeing that they were all local specialties, she became less curious.
"Lingdang, are you guys done? Are we ready to go home?" Mengmeng sat in the back seat of the car and asked casually.
"We still have to go to Fusheng. Do you want to go shopping? If you want to go shopping, I can drop you off at the mall first," Lingling asked.
Pan Yan and Meng Meng looked at each other and said in unison, "No, let's go home later. If someone comes to visit, it won't be good if you, the bride, are not here."
