Chapter 90: Birthday Cake
Someone wrote a letter to Min Wanwan, and almost let those good people pass it on to other versions, but fortunately, Cheng Yan explained the situation early.
Cheng Yan didn't care about this at first, but Aunt Wang reminded him. Mainly, some people in the village said that Min Wanwan didn't abide by women's morals or anything. Although there are few people who mention it, there has always been such a voice, and it is not very good for Min Wanwan's reputation.
No, as soon as there was a letter, someone said that it was sent to her by a friend in Min Wanwan County. Cheng Yan couldn't get used to someone slandering Min Wanwan like this, even if the content of the letter was publicized, in front of everyone.
Those people felt dull on their faces, and they wanted to slander again, but when they saw Cheng Yan's face and expression, they immediately didn't dare to speak.
"Now I'll ask, can Min Wanwan and I go into the city? Are you still holding back? Cheng Yan said, "This old woman must know about it from our village." ”
Not to mention, there are really people who know this old woman, it can be said that there are many people in these ten miles and eight villages who know her. For a while, the old woman's husband and son, who were national heroes, although they did not come back, and even the ashes were not found, but this was recognized by the state. There is also the fact that this old woman has a shop, that status, but Wang Duan, how many people think about it.
It's just that I didn't expect Ah, now it seems that the eye-catching shop was actually won by this Min Wanwan. Su Xue looked at the letter even more red, wishing that the recipient's name was written on herself.
"No one stopped you." Li Zhishu said with a stiff face, and he was even more dissatisfied with Su Xue in his heart, now that the gap is getting bigger and bigger, how can he keep his position in this village in the future!
Cheng Yan nodded, not caring about Li Zhishu's expression, but said, "Okay, when I go out with Wanwan in a few days, I hope to be the same as what Li Zhishu said." ”
Having said so, those villagers are not eyeless, so naturally they don't dare to stop Min Wanwan and Cheng Yan anymore.
The air in the village is exceptionally fresh after the rain, but the atmosphere is not so good now. Cheng Yan also used this letter to knock on the people in the village, and don't spread any rumors. Li Zhishu saw that there was nothing to do, so he calmly asked everyone to go back.
Min Wanwan and Cheng Yan did not go home directly, but went to the next village to find Uncle Wang, discussed the time to go to the county seat, and then went home.
On the way back, Min Wanwan's mood was happy, and she couldn't help humming a little song, which was quite good. Cheng Yan listened quietly, looking at Min Wanwan from time to time.
"Alas, Ah Yan, let's sing together~" Min Wanwan smiled, "If you don't, I'll teach you." ”
Cheng Yan didn't look particularly difficult when he heard Min Wanwan's singing, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay." ”
After a few days, it was the day of the old woman's 80th birthday. This time, Min Wanwan and Cheng Yan went to the county seat, but no one stopped them, and some people even wanted to ask Min Wanwan to help see if they could get in, but Min Wanwan refused without hesitation.
When I arrived at the old woman's house, there were already a lot of people, Min Wanwan quickly handed a box to the old woman, and the old woman checked it curiously, but she didn't guess what was inside.
The other old women had also eaten the pastries made by Min Wanwan before, and they immediately gathered around excitedly and looked at the box in the old woman's hand.
"Alas, Wanwan, we see that your shop hasn't opened for a few days, what's the matter, many people asked me to ask." One of the younger women asked.
Min Wanwan smiled and said, "There is something going on at home, it will continue to open in a few days, the important thing today is the old woman's birthday, and everything else is secondary." ”
The mother-in-law nodded, as if she agreed with what Min Wanwan said. Indeed, it is not good to talk about these things at the old woman's birthday banquet.
However, Min Wanwan thought that when no one was over at her mother-in-law's birthday banquet, she could complain to her mother-in-law. Now Min Wanwan is an old woman and a member of her own family.
"Mother-in-law, open it and take a look." Min Wanwan smiled and urged, "Don't you see that our sisters can't wait?" ”
The others glared at Min Wanwan with disgust, and there was no malice, they just cooperated to make a fuss. The old woman did not twist even when the box was opened.
I saw that in the box was a three-layer cake, the top layer was two longevity peaches, and the top layer was also written, "Blessing is like the East China Sea, and longevity is better than Nanshan." "The second layer is dotted with some fruits, as if there are some chocolate shadows, and the last layer is some floral patterns, which also look very good.
"This is a peach cake?" The old woman said that she was shocked on her face, but she was happy in her heart. Just this cake can see Min Wanwan's intentions.
Min Wanwan nodded, not denying it, and certainly not missing the surprise in everyone's eyes, but still smiling as always.
The old woman had only heard of such a thing as a peach cake from her grandson who had drunk foreign ink, and it was the first time she had seen such a thing. It is said that this thing is also available abroad, but the old woman thinks that it must not be as delicious as Min Wanwan.
"What's the point?" The old woman said, "I heard my grandson say that this thing must be eaten separately." ”
"I'll do it." Min Wanwan said, "Just cut this into a few pieces." ”
After speaking, Min Wanwan picked up the plastic knife in the box, this thing couldn't be made by herself, Min Wanwan still asked the master to make a drawer of plastic knives and forks.
I saw Min Wanwan smoothly divide the cake into several portions and hand it to everyone, and the people who received it couldn't help it, so they tasted a few bites first, and even sighed, as if it was something delicious in the world.
Min Wanwan saw that the others were very happy to eat, and she was in a very happy mood, and when she finally handed it to Cheng Yan, Min Wanwan also saw the surprise in Cheng Yan's eyes, and couldn't help but be even happier.
Although it is delicious, the cake is not the main food after all, it is just a dessert before the birthday feast begins. Min Wanwan saw that there were no other people around who she didn't know.
Min Wanwan thought about it, and then asked, "Mother-in-law, when will you go back with your grandson, can we send you back then?" ”
"The shop is almost there, I see that your shop is also formal, not to mention, there are quite a few people who buy it." The old woman said, "So I'm going to leave in a few days." ”
After saying this, the old woman felt a little reluctant, and she didn't know when she would see Min Wanwan and Cheng Yan again.
"So fast?!" Min Wanwan said in shock. Originally, I just asked casually, thinking that I still had some time to accompany the old woman, but I didn't expect the old woman to leave here so soon.
For a while, the three of them were a little reluctant, and the corners of Min Wanwan's eyes were even a little red, but she didn't cry after all, mainly thinking that it was not good to cry at the old woman's birthday banquet.
Cheng Yan is more calm, although he is reluctant, he can still control his feelings, and he will not lose his temper or anything. The old woman wiped the corners of her eyes and pretended that nothing had happened.
