Red Date Milk Cake

Several girls in the dormitory carried canned yellow peaches that they had jointly purchased from the supply and marketing cooperative, and entered the faculty and staff family area with trepidation.

Zheng Lingling lowered her voice and whispered, "Did you see that there are sentries standing guard at the door? It must be safe to live here."

Ding Jiajia tilted her head hesitantly: "It's different from what I imagined. Maybe there are a few old teachers in Xia Xia's family?"

Hao Guihua disagreed: "Isn't this just right? If Xiaoxia has connections at home, we don't have to worry about Ge Qing's threat."

Guo Qianlan sighed: "It's all our fault that we were not careful when we spoke and were caught. Xiaoxia only gave us sunscreen cream. It would have been better if the people in the next dorm didn't know about it."

Chai Shanjing consoled them, "Who would have thought that the people in the next dorm would be so loud-mouthed, and would go around spreading the news even though it had nothing to do with them."

Hao Guihua shook his head: "Stop talking about unhappy things. Xiao Xia invited us to her house for dinner, and we can't go there with a gloomy face." Besides, Xiao Xia said it didn't matter.

Zheng Lingling rubbed her face and said, "That's right. If we blame ourselves like this, Xia Xia might feel even worse. It was obviously her good intention."

After walking for a while, they suddenly smelled a fragrant scent.

Guo Qianlan sniffed hard: "Do you smell anything?"

Ding Jiajia took a deep breath and said, "It smells like red dates, so rich."

Zheng Lingling swallowed her saliva: "It smells better than the cakes from the bakery."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Then they met two little boys who were driving a car and broadened the girls' horizons.

Hao Guihua couldn't help but exclaimed: "Can a child drive a car? Is this a toy imported from abroad?"

Ding Jiajia recognized the two brothers: "These are Xia Xia's neighbors, Professor Ji's children. Xia Xia knows these two children. It's normal for Professor Ji's children to have foreign toys. Professor Ji studied abroad for a doctorate when he was a student."

Zheng Lingling held her face in her hands: "I can't even imagine how happy it is to be Professor Ji's child."

Chai Shanjing bent down and asked, "Children, do you know how to get to the Song family?"

Ji Yang and Ji Yuan looked at each other in bewilderment. Their mother asked them to come out to receive the guests. They should be these weird-looking older sisters, right?

Ji Yuan said in a childish voice: "Are you looking for Aunt Song...?" Fortunately, his brother reminded him, otherwise he almost called her mom again.

Chai Shanjing smiled kindly: "Yes, we are looking for her."

Ji Yuan turned the car in a different direction: "Come with us, Aunt Song has made some delicious cakes at home, and we are here to pick up the guests."

Several girls were surprised. They thought that Xiao Xia and Professor Ji were neighbors. Maybe they could ask Professor Ji for help this time.

Although Ge Qing's father is Principal Ge, Professor Ji is a rare all-round talent, and the school must give Professor Ji face. If Xiao Xia has a good relationship with the mothers of the two young guys...

Everyone couldn't help but feel lucky for Song Shixia. As expected, there is always a way out when you reach the mountain. No wonder Xiaoxia didn't take Ge Qing to heart. It turned out that he had the confidence.

Song Shixia was making red date milk cake at home. The aroma of this snack was particularly overbearing, filling the entire area with the rich aroma of red date cake. If he opened a shop outside, the whole street would be filled with its scent.

The reason she chose to do this was because she thought pasta was easy to store, and she wanted to make more so that her roommates could pack some for breakfast for the week when they got home.

My mother-in-law and the nanny were helping to knead the dough, and the oven and the bread kiln in the yard were working.

"Let's do more at home, Mom, so you can sleep longer in the morning."

My mother-in-law gets up early every day to make breakfast. Song Shixia has advised her many times but she won't listen. All she can do is make more cakes so that she can sleep a little longer.

"Don't worry about me. We sleep less as we get older."

The nanny was kneading dough on the side, and she felt jealous when she heard the employer's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatting. Such a harmonious relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was rare in the village. She wished her mother-in-law could be half as considerate as the employer.

Song Shixia received a phone call in the middle of the meeting. Her mother at home said that the pigs had grown very big and were almost the same size as the pigs that other people had raised for a year. She asked if they wanted to kill them now and raise a few more.

"I'll talk to my mother-in-law about it. The school cafeteria must be waiting to be cleared."

Song Shixia hung up the phone and was thinking about installing a telephone at home so that he wouldn't have to say too much every time he went to the grocery store to make a call, for fear that someone might hear him and get jealous.

She used to be able to write letters home and wait for her parents to read them during the winter holidays. Why not let her parents go to school to learn to read? Not to mention going to junior high school or high school, it would be enough for them to be able to read letters in the first grade. It would be embarrassing for them to go to school at this age.

"Mom, my family called and said the pigs are old enough to be sold, and asked if you want to order some pork. If not, we'll slaughter the pig and send it to you before the Chinese New Year."

Han Rong was overjoyed: "You've raised pigs so quickly? Your parents are amazing!"

Song Shixia knew that the spiritual spring water had contributed to the success, but more importantly, it was due to the careful feeding of her parents. Other families fed their pigs with feed such as pig grass and bran. Her advice to her parents was that since they wanted to focus on breeding, they should feed them human food.

Song Shixia had never fed pigs, but she had seen videos of people cooking for pigs in farms. The pigs in those videos ate better than most ordinary people. They could even eat watermelons to cool off in hot weather, and the pig pens even had air conditioning.

Of course, it was impossible to install air-conditioning fans in the pigsty at home, as the pigsty at the farm was built close to the foot of the mountain and was very cool. She only told her parents to pay more attention to the pig feed and secretly feed the pigs some vegetables that they couldn't finish eating at home. These vegetables were irrigated with spiritual spring water, and the pork raised by them tasted better than ordinary pork.

The reason why she feeds the pigs secretly is that most people in the village give their vegetables to her brother's team to sell. For them, vegetables are their source of income. If they find out that her family feeds the pigs with uneaten fresh vegetables, someone will definitely gossip about it behind her back.

Song Shixia explained with a smile: "My parents are very focused and serious about their work. Once a task is given to them, they will do their best. In the past, my family was the most standard in digging the ground and planting seedlings, and the same goes for feeding pigs."

My parents work diligently and at first they were worried that they wouldn't be able to run the farm well, but when the responsibility was really handed over to them, they became extra responsible and serious.

"Your parents are both honest people. They left me a pig. Since your father has nothing to do recently, I will ask him and your brother to go to your house to help kill the pig and let him get familiar with the route in advance."

Song Shixia smiled and said yes.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two cubs drove back home in a car.

“Guests are coming!”

Song Shixia looked at her mother-in-law and the nanny. Everyone had to play their roles well for today, and the two children pretended that they were not her children.

Ding Jiajia saw Song Shixia shouting loudly,

"Xia Xia, your yard is so big."

Song Shixia stood at the door and smiled: "Every family's yard is the same."

Ding Jiajia is like a colorful butterfly, touching the vegetables in the yard, smelling the flowers,

"The faculty and staff family area is so big that I thought they lived in a tube-shaped building."

Hao Guihua saw the medicinal herbs.

“Are you growing medicine in your yard?”

"I'll try to grow some medicinal herbs myself, which are readily available in pharmacies."

Everyone gave a thumbs up.

Chai Shanjing smiled slightly: "It's amazing, your yard is planned in an orderly manner by you, it's really comfortable to look at."

Song Shixia called everyone: "Come in and sit down to eat the cakes. They smell so good right out of the oven."

Several girls followed Xiao Xia and only after seeing the whole living room did they realize that they had underestimated her family background. There was a TV, a refrigerator, a radio, a washing machine, and even a record player!

Ding Jiajia trembled: "Xiao Xia, your teacher at home couldn't be a professor in our school, right?"

Song Shixia smiled mysteriously: "Your guess is very close to the answer."

No one expected Xiao Xia's family background to be so impressive. She looked approachable and had no airs at all.

Song Shixia pretended to be troubled and held his forehead.

"You don't think that the professor's family can do whatever they want, do you? Ge Qing is a minority. Most of the teachers' families in our school are very low-key. I guess you definitely can't recognize them."

For example, Aunt Feng, who chats with everyone in the school cafeteria every day, which student can associate the amiable Aunt Feng with Professor Xie’s wife?

Everyone nodded hesitantly.

"If we hadn't come to your house, we would have thought that Ge Qing was in the majority."

Song Shixia laughed and shook her head.

"Sit down and eat. Our area is full of teachers' families. I've lived here for so long and have never met someone like Ge Qing, so you don't have to be too wary of Ge Qing's background."

Hao Guihua slumped on the sofa without any image.

"That's great. If we had known your family background was like this, we wouldn't have been afraid of Ge Qing. We were afraid that you would be bullied."

Song Shixia brought a teapot and poured water for everyone.

"This is the fruit tea I made myself. It doesn't have any special effects, it's just delicious. You can try it."

Zheng Lingling couldn't help but sigh while holding the beautiful glass teacup: "Ge Qing is so annoying. Why doesn't she care about the big ocean? You are a pharmacy student, why can't you dispense medicine? And you don't give it to others."

Song Shixia sat across from them: "Don't get angry with her, or you'll hurt yourself. I have good news for you. The sunburn cream has passed the ingredient test and will be available in the supply and marketing cooperatives by the end of the year. Its official name is sunscreen lotion."

Hu Yu, who had not yet completed her confinement, asked her mother to go next door to buy some date cakes. The aroma of the dates was so strong.

Zhang Wanqing couldn't persuade her daughter. Her poor daughter had to go next door to buy some food just for a bite, so she said shamelessly.

Han Rong brought the red date milk cake to the table, and then took a tray to the bakery in the yard to take out the freshly baked red date milk cake.

"You guys chat, I'll deliver it to the neighbor next door. I think it's time for dinner at her house."

Song Shixia guessed that her mother-in-law wanted to give it to Secretary Zhang and nodded to show that she understood.

However, Secretary Zhang had already arrived at the living room before my mother-in-law left the house.

"Old Han, hey, why are there so many little guests at your house?"

Ding Jiajia stood up immediately: "Hello, Secretary Zhang!"

The other girls in the dormitory immediately stood up and greeted her, and Zhang Wanqing was startled.

Then she said with a smile: "You girls are really polite. Sit down quickly. You are Xiao Xia's roommates, right? You guys chat. Lao Han, come with me to the courtyard."

Han Rong and Zhang Wanqing went to the yard.

Song Shixia stretched out her hand and rubbed her temples.

"You gave me a fright."

Ding Jiajia patted her chest and said, "Is it because Secretary Zhang suddenly came in that I was scared? You don't know how many of us have met Secretary Zhang when submitting materials. Secretary Zhang is very serious when he is sitting in the office."

Who would have thought that I would see another side of Secretary Zhang at Xiao Xia's house: he was approachable and approachable.

Song Shixia didn't explain too much: "Eat it while it's hot. Secretary Zhang knows my mother-in-law. They must have a private matter."

Everyone was holding a red date milk cake. They could smell the scent even from a long distance away. It tasted fragrant, sweet and milky in their mouths. Although they couldn't speak, their eyes were blinking as they looked at Song Shixia.

Song Shixia said helplessly: "If you like it, eat more. Don't choke."

Since bringing his roommates home for dinner, Song Shixia found that the relationship in the dormitory became more harmonious.

In fact, it was because several girls found that Xiao Xia had a very good personality. She was not hypocritical, but she exuded a magical charm. No matter who came into contact with her, they would unconsciously like her. She had a good family background but never showed off. She was low-key and powerful. She usually took good care of them and treated them as sisters.

Having roommates like this in the dormitory can almost eliminate 90% of conflicts. The remaining minor frictions are nothing and quarrels can be reconciled in the blink of an eye.

Song Shixia accidentally learned that they described her in a way that made her laugh and cry. She was just used to treating them as little girls. Aren't people in their early twenties little girls? As for her magical charm, it was probably her positive attitude that influenced them. People would unconsciously yearn for the sun.

Song Qiu Sheng accompanied Uncle Ji back home. He originally wanted to kill the pig at home, but thinking that pork tasted best when it was fresh, he called his sister and asked the school cafeteria to send a car to take the pig away.

The logistics staff of the Yenching University cafeteria had been waiting for the pigs raised by the Song family. Since Comrade Song's family opened a farm, the school only bought chickens and ducks from the market when the supply was insufficient, and the rest were ordered from the Song family.

Unfortunately, the Song family's farm was too small, and they could only buy a batch of chickens and ducks every three months. Three-month-old chickens and ducks bought from the market might only weigh two or three kilograms, but chickens and ducks raised by the Song family for three months were already six or seven kilograms of normal size.

The school leader who particularly likes to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms always asks where the chicken comes from. If the chicken is bought from the market, he will not order this dish.

Fortunately, chickens are easy to buy and we can get a supply from the Song family once a month.

The school cafeteria logistics staff had been waiting for the Song family's pork for more than half a year. They heard that it was particularly delicious, so this time they were finally able to send a car to pick up the pigs.

Aunt Feng leaned against the door and congratulated Song Shixia.

"Don't tell me, I'm also waiting to taste the pigs you raise."

"Haven't you eaten it before? I think it tastes okay, don't have too high expectations."

Aunt Feng's eyes widened: "You call that taste okay?! I only had clay pot rice once, and it was the one you made. I feel like I will never forget that taste in my life. It made my tongue drool."

Song Shixia smiled and said, "My parents specially raised a pig for my mother-in-law's family. This time, we will take it to the city and ask a butcher to help kill it. Come to my house for dinner."

Aunt Feng usually didn't like to eat for free, and she felt embarrassed to come over to eat. But when she heard that the pigs were raised by Xiao Song's family, she had to taste them no matter what.

"Okay, I'll shamelessly come over for another meal this time, and then buy a few pounds from the cafeteria."

When my brother and father-in-law came back together, they also brought back another piece of news.

Song Qiusheng wiped his face.

"I forgot to tell you that Dongdong accidentally injured a classmate while playing football at school. I apologized and let it go. The physical education teacher at his school said that Dongdong has good physical fitness and asked him if he was willing to apply to a military academy."

Song Shixia was confused: "What exam? How can you say Dongdong is suitable for military school?"

Song Qiu Sheng said awkwardly: "The one that Dongdong accidentally knocked down with the football was a fat kid. Their PE teacher said that Dongdong can run and jump. He has a lot of strength in his feet, and maybe he can pass the military school assessment."

The difference is 2000.

The reason why I have been updating so much recently is because something happened in reality. A suitor was very positive towards me, asking me out for dinner and hanging out, and sharing his daily life with me every day. His attitude was particularly sincere, so I thought since he was so sincere, I might as well consider him. Then he got back together with his ex-girlfriend, and I became part of their interest.
