Cream Fruit Cake

Song Shixia gave a few simple reminders, and Chen Jiao's already haggard look became even paler.

After Chen Jiao left in a hurry, Song Shixia asked Ji Weiqing: "Am I too blunt in my words?" She seemed to have been led astray by him and started to speak bluntly.

Ji Weiqing didn't think there was a problem: "You just told her in advance." As for whether she was willing to understand or not, this was an established fact.

Chen Jiao returned home and went straight to the bedroom and locked the door.

The two children looked at her and continued to do their homework.

Girls are more curious after all, so Huo Xuan asked, "What's wrong with her?"

Huo Li wrote slowly: "I don't know, just ask her."

Huo Xuan shook her head: "Forget it, I don't want to care about her, lest she become sentimental."

Chen Jiao was wiping her tears in the room. She didn't blame Song Shixia for telling her about Huo Kai and his ex-wife watching a movie. She just felt embarrassed.

She always knew that Huo Kai couldn't let go of his ex-wife. Li Mengxuan was too important to Huo Kai. Huo Xuan's name was the combination of Huo Kai and Li Mengxuan's names. Even though Li Mengxuan abandoned her husband and children and returned to the city to remarry, Huo Kai never complained about her.

She felt that with her generosity and wisdom, as long as she could integrate into the family and support each other with Huo Kai, her child would grow up to be successful and her life would not be in vain.

But how could Huo Kai get involved with Li Mengxuan?

Chen Jiao had no place to vent her grievances, so she could only endure it silently. She didn't even dare to question Huo Kai, fearing that he would get angry and remarry his ex-wife.

Thinking of Song Shixia's good reputation in her neighborhood, everyone praised her for her good temper, her smile to everyone, her reluctance to talk about others behind their backs, and her willingness to share cooking tips when someone asked her for them.

In fact, she had been praised in the same way when she was in the village. But now the family affairs were complicated, Huo Kai did not take care of the family but just handed in his salary. She had to take care of two children and found a job washing vegetables in the canteen. She was so busy every day that she had no time to rest. The only friend of the same age she made was Song Shixia.

Huo Kai thought it was not decent for her to wash vegetables in the canteen kitchen. How could a university teacher's wife work as a vegetable washer? Didn't she want to find a decent job? Huo Kai felt that his salary was enough to support a family. A man who didn't manage a family would just open and close his mouth, but he didn't know the cost of oil and salt. There were two children at home who loved to eat meat. His salary was indeed enough to support the family. He couldn't save a penny every month, not to mention that she had never bought new clothes since she came to the city.

Song Shixia, who lives in the same village as her, wears beautiful dresses of different styles every day. She only needs to take care of the children at home. Even Professor Ji, who is so cold, helps wash the dishes and water the vegetables. Her mother-in-law also comes to deliver meat every now and then. Everyone in the family area envies Song Shixia for having a good marriage.

The more Chen Jiao thought about it, the sadder she felt. Is this really the life she wanted?

Song Shixia was helping Ji Weiqing pack his luggage. He suddenly had to go on a business trip and might not be able to come back until the end of summer vacation.

The two were silent. Song Shixia folded the clothes, and Ji Weiqing put the folded clothes into the suitcase.

Ji Weiqing looked at her "inadvertently" several times. She used to be very talkative, but now she was silent.

Song Shixia suddenly tilted her head: "Should we take the medicinal wine with us? Or should we go to the place we went last time?"

"Well, it's still there. The teacher won't go this time."

Ji Weiqing said that due to the hot weather and the bumpy road, she only sent professors under the age of 50. She knew that there would be many more such business trips in the future.

After finally having a harmonious couple life and their personalities almost getting used to each other, they suddenly separate. Song Shixia is depressed. How is this different from suddenly falling in love long distance during the honeymoon period?

Well, it can't be called a passionate love, but Ji Weiqing, who is so slow to warm up, has started to take the initiative, which is almost like a passionate love.

She turned around and hugged him, burying her head in his chest, and said in a muffled voice: "You should take care of yourself. Drink more water in the hot weather. The children and I are waiting for you at home."

Ji Weiqing stroked her soft black hair and said, "Don't go out alone when I'm not home. You should do what you can to help others. Let mom accompany you."

Song Shixia rejected his proposal: "Mom still has to take care of Yanran. She is at an important stage at the end of the semester. Wasn't she fine the last time I was at home?"

When talking about her last business trip, we can’t help but mention the things she did to stand up for justice.

Ji Weiqing's mind was in a mess. He couldn't sort out the emotions and could only repeat his instructions over and over again.

At the end, Song Shixia pushed him away and said, "This is the first time I've noticed you nagging like that. Don't worry, I'm not a child. I will definitely do what I can."

Song Shixia brought out the medicinal wine.

"My dad has used this product and it has given me great feedback. I applied it on my legs before it rained and the rheumatism pain went away."

It's worthy of being a mixture of medicinal herbs. Apply it wherever you feel uncomfortable.

She patted the other pot again and said, "This one has never been used, so it's probably not bad. It can't be any worse if it contains ginseng and Polygonum multiflorum."

Song Shixia packaged the two bottles of medicinal wine in ten bottles. She did not touch the other bottle of red date and wolfberry medicinal wine, as it would have no effect on the man.

She fished out a net bag from the kitchen: "Put it in the car tomorrow and carry it the rest of the time. It will just be a bit harder for you." It would be heavier if it was put in the suitcase, and his clothes would be in trouble if they were torn. It would be easier to carry it, and all together it was less than a dozen beers.

The two little guys hadn't yet gotten over the joy of getting full marks on the test when they found out that their dad had to go on a business trip again the next day. Their little faces immediately fell.

Song Shixia touched his head one by one and said, "How about I make a cream fruit cake? We can eat it with dad. I still owe you a reward."

The fact that their father was away on a business trip was immediately forgotten. The cream fruit cake was their true love, and the two little tails followed their mother and showed their attentiveness.

Ji Weiqing was left behind again. Before he could even say anything to comfort the child, it seemed that it was no use.

In the summer of Song Dynasty, when baking cake base, Ji Weiqing was still the tool to beat egg whites.

Aunt Feng was knocking on the door outside. Song Shixia hadn't washed her hands yet, and Ji Yang rushed out like a little cannonball to open the door.

Song Shixia hurriedly shouted to him: "Run slower, don't fall." It would be so painful to accidentally fall while wearing shorts.

Ji Yang was extremely proud. In the past, it was always his younger brother who opened the door, but today he reacted faster than his younger brother.

As soon as Aunt Feng came in, she hugged Ji Yang in her arms. Ji Yang struggled in vain and frowned.

"What delicious food are you making? I can smell the sweet aroma from a long distance away." After saying that, she saw Professor Ji busy in the kitchen and exclaimed, "You are amazing. You can get Professor Ji to go to the kitchen personally."

Song Shixia took Ji Yang and put him down with a smile, letting him go play by himself: "I'm making cakes for the children as a reward for getting full marks on the test. He has to go on a business trip tomorrow, and I don't know how long he will be gone. He has to help me do more work today to please me."

Ji Yang kept looking back, and she hugged him.

Aunt Feng teased her, "Look at you two, you are so disgusting. Just watching you makes me feel like I've drunk a pound of honey."

Drinking a pound of honey would be so choking that it would stick to the throat. Song Shixia couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on her scalp. She shouldn't be that greasy, right?

She shook her head and threw the honey away: "What do you want from me, auntie?"

Only then did Aunt Feng remember the important matter.

"Let me ask the cafeteria if you sell chickens and ducks."

Song Shixia pointed at the chickens and ducks in the yard and said, "Auntie, you are kidding me, right? How big are my chickens? Can't I buy chickens and ducks in the cafeteria?"

Chicks and ducks this big are considered underage when kept in the pen. The cafeteria shouldn't be unable to buy chicks and ducks and have to purchase them from her, right?

Aunt Feng also felt that the people in the cafeteria were stupid. How much meat could such a big chicken have? Yet they gave the task to her.

"I'm not kidding you. People say the chicken you raised makes delicious soup. The leader from that time is here again."

Last time, a senior leader came to the cafeteria, accompanied by the school leader himself. It is said that the famous dish in the leader's hometown is chicken stewed with mushrooms. At that time, the cafeteria did not have chicken, so Aunt Feng bought a chicken from Song Shixia.

The leader only ate chicken stewed with mushrooms the whole time. He finished the entire chicken weighing less than two pounds by himself, and even used the soup to soak rice.

After the leader left, the canteen chef tasted the remaining soup and stated with confidence that it was definitely the chicken that made the soup so delicious. The chicken stewed with mushrooms he had made in the past had never been so fresh and delicious.

Song Shixia fed the chickens and ducks with the leftover vegetable leaves from the vegetable garden. The vegetables dipped in spiritual spring water would make their meat more tender. The chickens and ducks grew half a pound to a pound heavier than their peers in the same month, which was not too exaggerated. Others would just think that she was raising them well.

Even so, this little chicken only weighs two kilograms, how can it withstand being eaten?

"Look at the vegetables in my garden. They are growing faster than I can supply them. I can eat the chickens and ducks I raise myself. Let the canteen buy them from outside."

We have raised chickens with great difficulty, but we haven't even eaten them yet. How would it be appropriate if someone else bought them?

Aunt Feng just came over to pass on a message. She was very disappointed after being rejected at the cafeteria, but luckily she bought a chicken from another family member.

This time the leader only drank two sips of the soup. Although he didn't say anything, the chefs all knew that the chicken was not to their taste.

They were also wondering why the chickens in Comrade Xiao Song's family were so fresh and tender. On the other hand, since he was a good vegetable grower, it was not surprising that he could raise chickens and ducks.

Today's chef is the same chef as last time. He took a sip of chicken soup.

"It's OK, just an ordinary chicken soup. I guess I should start with Comrade Xiao Song."

Song Shixia held the hot cake base in her hands and divided the excess cake between the two little cats.

Even the arrogant Ji Yang couldn't resist the temptation of the cream fruit cake.

In the yard, the mother and her two children were laughing and chatting happily. Ji Weiqing only felt his arms aching. He remembered that there was an egg beater in foreign countries. Otherwise, he would write a letter to his friend.

Song Shixia walked into the kitchen, stood up and kissed him on the face.

"Thank you for your hard work. Leave it to me next."

"Let me do it, you guide me." He felt that his arm didn't seem to be so sore.

Song Shixia stood beside him and taught him how to squeeze the cream. Even though there were no piping tools, it was fine to just keep things simple at home.

Finally, she cut the fruit into small pieces and spread them on top, adding only strawberry jam, which was enough to make the two little guys scream with satisfaction.

Song Shixia deliberately dipped some remaining cream from the bowl onto her fingers and smeared it on his face when he was not paying attention.

Ji Weiqing was stunned for a moment and grabbed her evil hand.

“Waste of food.”

Song Shixia licked the cream off her hands, looked at him with her eyes, and winked at him innocently: "I didn't waste it."

Ji Weiqing: ...

She was provoking him, but he couldn't do anything about her.

Neither of them wanted to sleep tonight. Song Shixia leaned in his arms with endless things to say, while Ji Weiqing didn't say much, so he listened carefully.

Song Shixia nestled half of her body in his arms, playing with his thinly woven hand and biting it from time to time. In this era without mobile phones, he couldn't send letters, which was worse than being in a long-distance relationship.

Ji Weiqing suddenly said: "The passbook is in the closet, the password is..."

"Tsk." Song Shixia continued, "Your salary is enough. I don't need the money in the passbook."

Ji Weiqing seemed puzzled: "You are in charge of the money at home, don't be reluctant to spend money on clothes."

The only compensation he could think of was to make her spend more money.

Song Shixia didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How could I be reluctant to buy clothes? All the clothes in the closet are mine. Can you see how many of them are yours?"

Ji Weiqing earns such a high salary every month but he is very frugal and only has a few sets of shirts to change back and forth. Song Shixia doesn't have the nerve to buy him new clothes all the time.

"I'm not the kind of person who would put myself in a difficult position, so don't worry about me. If you lose weight, you'll have to explain to me." She has food, drink and playmates at home, so who should pity whom?

The last time Ji Weiqing came back, he had lost a lot of weight. At that time, she had no feelings for him, so she didn't feel too bad for him.

Ji Weiqing still told her the password. Song Shixia thought about taking some time to check how much balance she had so that she could buy a house and manage her finances when the real estate boomed in a few years.

She vaguely remembered that there would be a period of time when prices would rise, but she didn't know which year it was, and that if she kept the money, it would probably become less and less valuable.

Song Shixia grabbed his pajamas and prepared to fall asleep, so that she could secretly touch his abdominal muscles after falling asleep.

She noticed his breath approaching her but didn't care. Ji Weiqing took the initiative only a few times, probably to adjust her sleeping position.

A light kiss fell on the forehead, Song Shixia closed her eyes drowsily, the bedside lamp on Ji Weiqing's side was not turned off, she saw him approaching again, this time at the tip of her nose.

The next second, his kiss fell on the corner of her lips and he clumsily pried open her lips and teeth. Song Shixia cooperated with him with a dazed look in her eyes.

All his skills came from her. He could only nibble and suck randomly, which was actually very bad, Song Shixia thought.

But she still raised her hands and hooked them around his neck in response.

With a light touch, all the buttons of her pajamas came undone, and she didn't even know when he did it.

The person who wanted to go to bed early did not sleep all night, and his hands lingered on the person sleeping next to him, as if he wanted to memorize every detail.

I unlocked the door early tonight and used the new bathtub. It is convenient to have a bathtub. Apart from the fact that it wastes a lot of water and hurts my back, there are no other disadvantages.

When Song Shixia fell asleep, she was still thinking that this bed might not last long.

The next morning, Song Shixia woke up suddenly, fortunately the people around him were still there.

"What time is it? When will the car pick you up?"

Ji Weiqing put down the book: "Ten o'clock, we will leave in the afternoon, no rush."

She breathed a sigh of relief, sat up and put on her clothes: "I'll go see if there's anything else I haven't prepared."

Ji Weiqing stretched out his arms, held her around the waist and pulled her into his arms.

Song Shixia turned around puzzledly: "What's wrong?" Was it her illusion? Why was he a little clingy today?

He didn't say anything, but just hugged her tightly, with his chin on her shoulder: "Hold me for a while."

I came late and wrote an extra thousand dollars to apologize to everyone.

Chen Jiao's transformation is a process. She was an ordinary housewife in her previous life. She had no foresight. It is impossible that she changed her personality right after rebirth, otherwise she would not be reborn as a stepmother. Her transformation is related to the influence of Song Shixia. Xiao Song has such good conditions and still goes back to school to study and take the college entrance examination. Why can't I do the same? Chen Jiao did not marry her ex-husband at the beginning (she thought her ex-husband was honest and easy to control in her previous life) - married a university teacher who would have a promising future for her children - men are unreliable and it is better to make money by herself. This is a gradual process. She has to be completely disappointed with marriage and men before she can start her career.
