Qi Mengmeng waited for Lei Lei to spread all the jam, handed him a cup of jam water, and then slowly rolled up the cake.
All the cake rolls were cut into twelve pieces. Qi Mengmeng first gave one to Lei Lei and then handed one to Feng Lian.
When she goes to the village later, she will bring two for Grandpa Jiang and Zhang Meiling, and two for Master Li. She plans to send two more to Ye Tao, and leave the remaining three for Lei Lei.
After the distribution was completed, Qi Mengmeng wrapped the cakes with wax paper.
This is because Qi Zhijun moved away, otherwise we would have to give them two.
The oven was really too small, so Qi Mengmeng decided to go back and ask Master Li where she could buy an oven. She planned to buy one so that it would be convenient for her to bake cakes at home.
Qi Mengmeng cleaned the baking trays again, and heard Ye Tao's voice outside the door.
Ye Tao brought a bunch of grapes to Qi Mengmeng.
"I heard from others that you brought a child back, so I came to see you."
Qi Mengmeng took the grapes from Ye Tao's hand with a smile, thanked her, and introduced Feng Lian and Lei Lei.
Ye Tao looked at Lei Lei and nodded continuously: "Meng Meng, where did you get this godson from? How come he is so clean and sensible? Look at the three in my family. Tian Tian is now being taken care of by her two brothers and runs outside every day."
Qi Mengmeng did not take credit for it. When she met Lei Lei, he was so sensible. So Qi Mengmeng touched Lei Lei's head and said, "This child has been so sensible since he was young. It's really not my teaching."
Lei Lei looked embarrassed and asked Ye Tao to sit inside. He also wanted to pour water for Ye Tao, but Ye Tao was worried that she would burn her hands, so she quickly said no.
Qi Mengmeng poured some water for Ye Tao, then washed the grapes, broke off half of them and put them in a bowl, and asked Lei Lei to take them outside to eat.
Seeing that Ye Tao seemed to have something to say to Qi Mengmeng, Feng Lian took Lei Lei to play in the yard.
Ye Tao approached Qi Mengmeng and whispered, "Mengmeng, when did you recognize this godson?"
Qi Mengmeng did not hide anything and told him that she saved Lei Lei last year, and Lei Lei couldn't bear to leave her and accepted her as his godmother.
Ye Tao slammed the table and said, "I knew it wasn't what they said."
Qi Mengmeng raised her eyebrows. What did people say outside? She had only been back for a short while, and already there was news about her in the family compound?
Ye Tao angrily reported that someone in the family compound was spreading rumors that Qi Mengmeng was unable to have children, so she adopted a godson.
Qi Mengmeng frowned. Why couldn't these people get out of the vicious circle of having children? She had only been married for a year. Was it a big deal not to have children?
"I'm telling you, it was Captain Lin's young wife who said that. She uses her Chinese medicine every day, and now everyone in the family compound knows that she is pregnant."
"I've never seen a young wife like this. Everyone else would wait until the baby is stable before telling others, but she is different. As soon as she got pregnant, she wanted to let everyone know."
"Seeing her like that, I always try to avoid her because I'm afraid she'll come to me for help if something happens to her."
It seems that Ye Tao is very dissatisfied with Li Pandi, but Li Pandi is the wife of the regiment commander after all, so naturally there are people in the family compound who support her.
Qi Mengmeng didn't want to deal with such a person, but if it was really Li Pandi who was talking nonsense outside, Qi Mengmeng would naturally find a way to deal with her.
But Lei Lei was in a good mood today, and Qi Mengmeng made a note of Li Pandi in her heart.
At the same time, Qi Mengmeng asked Ye Tao to listen in the family compound, and she wanted to find out the source.
According to Gu Guizhi's physical condition, they didn't know when they would be able to have a child. She didn't want to keep hearing these gossips before she got pregnant.
After Qi Mengmeng finished speaking, she took out the tiger skin cake roll that she had prepared for Ye Tao in advance.
"I was planning to send it to my sister-in-law later. Now that she's here, I'll have to make one less trip."
Ye Tao had never seen such snacks before, but smelling the fragrance in the air, Ye Tao felt that this snack must be not cheap.
Qi Mengmeng put the snacks on the plate that Ye Tao brought.
"Sister Taozi, when you gave me the grapes, I didn't refuse. I made this snack myself, I didn't buy it with money, so you can't refuse it."
Ye Tao knew that Qi Mengmeng's words were just politeness. The snacks didn't cost any money, but the ingredients for making the snacks did cost money.
However, the two have a good relationship, and it is hard to say who is taking advantage of whom.
She took the tiger skin cake roll with a smile, and patted her chest, saying that she would find out who was spreading gossip about Qi Mengmeng outside.
Although there was no evidence, Qi Mengmeng guessed that it was Li Pandi because Li Pandi's attitude when she left her place in the morning was too strange.
Lei Lei finished eating a tiger skin cake roll, and when he heard that there were three more, he happily pestered Qi Mengmeng for a long time and ate another one.
But he had a small appetite and after eating two tiger skin cake rolls, he couldn't eat anything else. Qi Mengmeng asked Feng Lian for her opinion and made noodles with tomato and egg sauce.
After eating the noodles, Lei Lei yawned. Qi Mengmeng coaxed him to sleep and asked Feng Lian to watch him while she went out.
Feng Lian thought she had something to do, so she told her to go out without worry, and she stayed at home to look after Lei Lei.
Qi Mengmeng put the remaining tiger skin cake rolls into the basket and rode her bike out the door.
She went to the village to deliver things to Grandpa Jiang and others, and would also bring back eggs.
Although it is a bit troublesome, at most others will think that she eats and drinks better and there will be no other questions.
Although today was not the time she and Mr. Jiang had agreed to meet, when Qi Mengmeng went there, she still saw Mr. Jiang wandering around.
She looked around and made sure that Grandpa Jiang had seen her before putting the backpack she had prepared in advance into the pit and riding her bike to the village.
When she came back, there was a thick stack of papers in her backpack.
Qi Mengmeng's mouth twitched. It turned out that Mr. Jiang would never forget to ask her to study.
She put the backpack on the back of the bicycle, hung the basket on the handlebars, and rode slowly towards the family compound.
On the hillside, Grandpa Jiang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qi Mengmeng was gone. The old couple didn't know how long they could live, and most of their belongings were given away, so they didn't have much left now.
Qi Mengmeng has been taking care of them. In order not to let Qi Mengmeng down, Mr. Jiang will definitely always care about Qi Mengmeng's studies.
Mr. Jiang never thought about being rehabilitated. He just hoped that he could teach Qi Mengmeng all the knowledge he knew during his lifetime.
After Mr. Jiang returned, Zhang Meiling took the tiger skin cake roll, her face full of joy: "Look, this is sent by Mengmeng."
"It smells so good." Old Master Jiang took a deep breath.
Zhang Meiling took out a small paper bag and sighed, "There's tea leaves in it, but we don't have teacups here."
Old Master Jiang didn't want to see Zhang Meiling feel regretful, so he took out two bowls, took out a small amount of tea from a small paper bag, and went to boil water.
With two bowls of tea and a cake roll each, the two of them had a rare afternoon tea and had a little more expectations for the future.
