Chapter 128: Chapter 126: Repaying Debts: The Storm Approaches (Part I)
Soon, the sweet aroma of the pastries and the fragrance of the pumpkin pancakes wafted through the air, making everyone’s mouths water and unable to resist the temptation to eat them right away.
“Mom! Mom, they smell so good and sweet! I want some too, Mom!” cried YingEr.
The little glutton’s voice arrived before she did!
She had already been following Xuan’er closely, their noses twitching, both of them looking like a pair of small dogs outside the kitchen, whimpering softly and wagging their tails, wanting but not daring to come in.
Di Xuan’s eyes were also fixated on the goodies in the pot, and he couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, they were just too fragrant and sweet!
“Hold on, Mom will give you some now.”
Liu Sisi got up, picked up two small bowls, and placed two of the earliest pumpkin pancakes from the pot into them: “Come to the small table to eat! Be careful, it’s still hot.”
“Thank you, Mom, you’re so kind!”
Di Ying cheered as she sat down at the small table, eagerly taking pieces of the pumpkin pancakes and stuffing them into her little mouth.
Though Di Xuan was sensible, he was still a child and couldn’t resist the temptation of the delicious food. He, too, sat down at the small table and started eating.
“Why don’t you have a bite too?” Di Yelei picked up a cooked pancake and offered it to Liu Sisi.
Should I eat it now?
She accepted it with a hint of embarrassment and took a small bite. The distinctive sweet taste of the pumpkin pancake filled her mouth. Crispy, sweet, and fragrant – it was definitely delicious!
“You should have a bite too.”
Seeing Di Yelei’s gaze fixated on the pancake in her hand, she offered it back to him.
Without hesitation, Di Yelei took a bite right where Liu Sisi had bitten, exposing the gap she had left.
Boom!
Liu Sisi’s face instantly turned red.
He had just…!
Realizing her gaze, he licked his lips in a suggestive manner and grinned triumphantly at her, baring his white teeth.
Glaring at him, Liu Sisi used the opportunity to check the baking tube to escape his gaze.
Once all the pumpkin pancakes were done, she turned off the heat, opened the baking tube, and took out the cake. The two children’s eyes widened
She cut off one piece, and each person got a small slice to eat. Seeing the two children enjoying the food, Liu Sisi also tried a bite.
It tasted just as good as the cakes from her past life!
Liu Sisi happily gestured to Di Yelei, giving him a thumbs up, and eagerly broke off a large piece to feed him.
“While these pastries taste just right, let’s pack them up and take them to Mr. Land Officer and Zhang Peng. It’s not good to always owe them money.”
“Alright, I’ll go get ready.”
Liu Sisi hurriedly went to pack the items, took a bamboo basket, and followed Di Yelei out the door.
The first stop, naturally, was the Land Officer’s home.
