“Alright! Since it was a false alarm, let’s go inside and take a short break.”
As the hostess, Mrs. Su naturally called out, “Today is the Laba Festival, and the Laba porridge prepared in the kitchen should be ready. No one should be in a hurry to leave; at least have a bowl of Laba porridge before you go!”
“Yes, yes, yes! We must drink the Laba porridge.”
Everyone cheerfully went back into the hall.
From a distance, they saw Prefecture Princess Luo and Gan Miaoruo leading Xuan’er and YingEr to sit in the hall, playing a board game called “Chess Five.” The group was having a great time, which explained why none of them came out despite the commotion outside.
Liu Sisi peeked and saw that the Chess Five game used a special tool called the cluster tool to move the pieces. The gameplay was similar to the checkers game in her previous life, with everyone competing fiercely and evenly matched.
Only when a round was over did YingEr look up from the board, happily jumping into Liu Sisi’s arms, and the mother and daughter shared another affectionate moment.
Soon, the Laba porridge arrived, and Liu Sisi, along with everyone else, dug in, each eating a bowl of Laba porridge.
“This Laba porridge, made with rice, millet, water chestnut rice, chestnut, red cowpea, black fungus, red dates, soybeans, lotus seeds, ginkgo nuts, fried tofu, taro, peach kennel, almonds, melon seeds, peanuts, filbert, pine nut, white sugar, and brown sugar. Everyone, please taste it and give your opinions,” Mrs. Su said with a smile, her eyes narrowing as she looked at everyone.
Liu Sisi looked at the food in her bowl but didn’t speak. Perhaps she was used to her own cooking; the taste of this Laba porridge, which claimed to be made with twenty different ingredients, was quite ordinary.
Little Ying beside her only took a few small bites before putting down her chopsticks. She whispered in Liu Sisi’s ear, “Mom, I… can’t eat anymore.”
“Come on, give it to me,” Liu Sisi said, taking the porridge from YingEr and offering it back to her.
“Eat quickly, and we’ll go home.”
Although Liu Sisi was eating her porridge, the faint murmurs passing around her still reached her ears.
After enduring another round of awkward socializing, it was finally time to say goodbye.
Madam Gan Senior took Liu Sisi’s hand as they left the official residence, then smiled at her, “Sisi, today has certainly been hard on you. As your grandmother, I don’t have much to give you, but my Gan Family does have a pawnshop in West City. Today, I decide to give you 10% of the dividends from the pawnshop. You can collect it once a year at the end of the year. Consider it a token of my affection.”
Madam Gan Senior continued, gently patting her hand.
“Thank you for your generous gift, Grandmother,” Liu Sisi said softly, her face calm.
Although her expression was calm, the faces of those around her changed, especially Mrs. Su, who looked quite colorful!
As a wealthy family with a connection to the government, the Gan Family, naturally had many businesses managed by their servants. Among the Gan Family’s most profitable businesses, the pawnshop was one of them.
A 10% dividend might seem small, but even that would be enough to ensure that the Di family had no worries about food and clothing all year round!
Mrs. Su’s eyes shifted, and she laughed, “Seeing you and Madam Gan Senior so happy together makes me envious. Sisi, you have fallen into a pile of good fortune by having Madam Gan Senior as your grandmother. You’ll never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life.”
“What Mrs. Su said is exactly what I feel. Isn’t it just like falling into a fortune and landing in a jar of honey?”
Liu Sisi’s smile grew sweeter, her eyes narrowing into a slit.
A cold light flickered quickly across the depths of her eyes.
