As soon as Li Hanting returned home, he was about to get intimate with his wife when he saw his daughter pouting, as if she was angry.
When her father looked over, Yuanyuan turned her head away proudly.
Hmph... She's ignoring her father now.
But her furtive glances gave her away.
She wondered why her father hadn't come to comfort her yet. Did he not love her anymore?
Li Hanting hooked Jingjing's pinky finger and asked her with his eyes why his daughter was angry.
Su Jingjing smiled and said, "She woke up at around 5 a.m. and didn't see me, so she cried for a little while."
Li Hanting immediately understood; his daughter was blaming him for taking his wife away.
"Go and comfort her quickly."
No one expected the little guy to have such a temper now.
This is a good sign; at least he has his own emotions now.
When Yuanyuan saw her father walking over, she quickly turned her head to the other side.
Li Hanting reached out and lifted Yuanyuan into his lap.
He gently pinched the bridge of her nose. "Are you angry with Daddy?"
Almost instantly, she was sitting on her father's lap, her expression completely innocent.
"Daddy didn't mean to take Mommy away. Please forgive Daddy, okay?"
Her round, tense face gradually relaxed.
Dad is such a worry! He's so old and still clings to Mom. Ugh!
When Li Hanting learned his daughter's true thoughts, he almost couldn't keep up the smile on his face.
"Dad, Yuanyuan forgives you."
He sighed in a grown-up tone, "But you can't do that again."
"Thank you, my daughter."
After the father and daughter reconciled, Yuanyuan became even more attached to him.
The cold wind was howling outside, so Su Jingjing didn't let the children go downstairs to play.
Yuanyuan has a weak constitution and easily catches a cold when exposed to wind.
Since it's bad for children's eyes to stay at home watching TV, she suggested making small cakes.
"Mommy, what is a cake? Is it something to eat?"
The thought of food made her round eyes light up instantly.
"Similar to cookies, but tastier."
The cake is fluffy and soft; my daughter will definitely love it.
Wow, it tastes even better than cookies!
"Mom, Yuanyuan wants to eat that."
"Our little princess is indispensable."
Su Jingjing helped her daughter straighten her scarf, and then went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients.
The children followed her with great interest.
When she's bored, she likes to research food; there are tons of tutorials on Douyin (TikTok).
Although I wouldn't call myself a food connoisseur, I am fairly well-known.
Making a cake is a very simple task, but it was still somewhat difficult in the 1980s. For example, there were no egg beaters or ovens, so you could only rely on a rice cooker.
I prepared five eggs, first separating the egg whites from the yolks. I added milk powder to the yolks because I didn't have milk at home, so I had to use milk powder instead. Finally, I added flour, sugar, and cooking oil, and stirred with chopsticks until there were no lumps.
As for the egg whites, I didn't have an egg beater at home, so I had to cut open a bottle to use as an egg beater. I added some sugar to the egg whites and kept stirring until they became creamy. It was hard work.
"Mom, let me do it, I'm strong."
An'an felt sorry for her mother when she saw her hands were weak.
Su Jingjing was indeed too soft-hearted, so she handed over the task of whipping the egg whites to An'an.
I must say, this kid has a real knack for it, he looks pretty convincing.
She didn't stop An'an until the egg whites in the bowl had completely turned into a creamy consistency.
"Are your hands tired?"
"Mom, I'm okay."
An'an shook her head.
Su Jingjing then poured the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites and stirred until smooth. She then brushed oil into the rice cooker, poured in the batter, covered the rice cooker, and steamed it for fifty minutes.
Although she didn't have the tools to weigh these things, she was confident that her experience would allow her to be accurate.
"Wait fifty minutes, and we'll have cake to eat."
The two children volunteered to clean up the leftovers on the table.
"Mom's cake must be delicious."
Yuanyuan is her mother's biggest fan and has always been very supportive.
While waiting for the cake, Su Jingjing braided her daughter's hair into a pretty braid.
The little guy's hair was jet black and as soft as willow branches, which seemed to be inherited from the original owner.
An An's hair was slightly stiff, much like Li Hanting's, except that the man had a buzz cut.
"My daughter is so beautiful."
The little guy is a soft, fluffy ball with a sweet, milky scent. His big eyes blink and he's so adorable he can melt anyone's heart.
Yuanyuan clutched the hem of her clothes and smiled shyly, "Mom is prettier."
Her fair cheeks were flushed with a light pink.
She looked like a glutinous rice ball.
Su Jingjing was overjoyed.
Such a lovely baby is hers, plus a cold-hearted son, she's a true winner.
The mother and her two children played for a while, and fifty minutes passed quickly.
"It smells so good."
It has both cake flavor and milky aroma, making it her absolute favorite.
Yuanyuan tilted her head, biting her finger, and asked, "Mommy, can I eat now?"
"Didn't Mom say that you can't put your fingers in your mouth?"
Su Jingjing took her daughter's finger off. "Fingers have bacteria. If you eat them, worms will wriggle around in your stomach."
"Waaah... I don't want bugs."
Her little face scrunched up like a little bun.
"As long as you don't put your fingers in your mouth, you won't get any bugs."
Seeing that she had frightened her daughter, Su Jingjing used cake to distract her.
"Come on, let's go cut the cake with Mom."
The moment I opened the rice cooker, a beautiful, golden cake came into view.
