Chapter 183 A reincarnation (please vote for me, please vote for recommendations)
"Aquarius, here we come."
"Aunt Agui, let me do it. This is what I'm good at."
"Ah, Aunt Agui, I don't know how to do it yet."
"Did you do this when you were in France?"
"See, that's it, yes, yes, that's it."
"So this is the trick, thank you."
"You...please, we are not working now, we are on vacation. Can't you stop keeping up with clockwork and relax and enjoy yourself?"
"you!!!"
"This guy! He's really going to piss me off!!!"
…
More than a month ago, Aunt Agui took Zhang Wentao, Xu Hongdou and Damai to make flower cakes at Aunt Agui's house. More than a month later, Xu Hongdou took Zhang Wentao's arm and came to Aunt Agui's house.
Time flies. In the kitchen, Zhang Wentao is carefully making flower cakes, looking at Xu Hongdou, who is laughing and chatting with Aunt Agui in the courtyard.
His eyes were pleasant and he kept moving his hands, and the flower cakes were taking shape in his hands one by one.
Glancing at Xu Hongdou again, she smiled vaguely and turned around, just in time to catch Zhang Wentao's gaze.
There seemed to be a touch of pleasure in her eyes. She tilted her head slightly and narrowed her eyes as she smiled.
The moment we looked at each other and smiled, it turned out that we were not reminiscing alone.
Xu Hongdou smiled and picked up a teacup from the table and walked over.
Passed it to Zhang Wentao's mouth. After Zhang Wentao took a sip, he said, "How about I help you?"
"No, you can chat with Aunt Agui."
Zhang Wentao's smile comes from the heart, with a look of enjoyment and relaxation.
Seeing this, Aunt Agui, who was sitting on the chair, said with a smile: "Hongdou, come here and chat with me. I'm going to QD soon, and there are many things I want to ask you.
Let Wen Tao do it, he can do it quickly by himself, right?"
Zhang Wentao smiled and said to Aunt Agui outside: "Yes, let Hongdou chat with you, I can do it myself."
Seeing that Zhang Wentao was no longer perfunctory in his answer, Xu Hongdou thought for a moment.
He smiled knowingly and said softly to Zhang Wentao: "Then come on, I'm waiting to eat."
"Go quickly, don't keep Aunt Agui waiting."
As he spoke, Zhang Wentao pretended to use his lard-covered hands to hook Xu Hongdou's little nose.
Xu Hongdou shyly avoided it, made an angry expression at Zhang Wentao, and then returned to the yard with the tea cup.
The azaleas in the yard are also in full bloom, and from time to time a few butterflies fly quietly by.
They just landed in the petals, and before they had time to taste the fragrant pollen, the "buzzing" bees also came...
Aunt Agui's chats can never be separated from her precious son and daughter.
Xu Hongdou seemed to have gotten used to it. As the two of them talked and responded, time passed slowly, neither too fast nor too slow, just right.
For each flower cake, use a watering can to lightly add some moisture to the surface and then put it in the oven. Soon, as the temperature rises, it will expand slightly.
Take it out halfway, apply some egg liquid on it with a soft brush, sprinkle a little sesame seeds and put it back.
After the surface turns golden brown, the crispy texture and rich floral aroma are just right.
"Mmm, it smells so good."
Xu Hongdou's nose never missed this moment. The flower cake had just come out of the oven. When she smelled the fragrance in the yard, her face lit up and she turned her head with a smile.
"You sit down and I'll get it."
Aunt Agui stood up with a smile. She looked as proud as if the freshly baked flower cake was cooked by her herself, but she could always find reasons for her pride.
"Wen Tao, tell me, are the flowers I prepared more fragrant than the ones you used at Aunt Baoping's house last time? Is this oven also good to use?"
She came in. Zhang Wentao, who heard this, quickly nodded and praised: "That's right, yes, it's all good."
"That's right, Xiaoxi made this specifically to eat the flower cake I made."
Aunt Agui did not forget to show off her daughter to Zhang Wentao again, then she took the plate, selected a few from the baking pan and said: "
You come out too, don't cook pot after pot. You want to spend time with your Hongdou, you see she has been sitting there chatting with me for a long time."
"Okay, Aunt Agui, I'll wash my hands."
Zhang Wentao was stunned for a moment, but did not refuse. He looked at his shiny hands and smiled.
"Don't wash it, just rub it on this apron. What is an apron for? Isn't it just for you to wipe your hands? Right?"
As she said that, she put down the plate with flower cakes in her hand, picked up the apron the other party was wearing, and wiped the hands of the stunned Zhang Wentao.
While wiping, he also said: "When Dayang and Xiaoxi were in college, they would make flower cakes with me at home when they came back from vacation.
Even now, they can't come back,
It's the same thing if you and Hongdou come over."
Zhang Wentao nodded and said casually: "Then if there is a chance, Hongdou and I will come over and help you do it."
"Don't coax me." Aunt Agui wiped each other's hands seriously and said seriously: "Although your Aunt Agui is honest, she also knows what is true and false. You and Hongdou are both good children, and both are idle."
People who can't come down.
In more than a month, you should go back, right?"
Zhang Wentao nodded silently.
After wiping her hands clean, she followed Aunt Agui into the yard.
Xu Hongdou was so smart that he looked at each other and saw the change in Zhang Wentao's eyes.
But she didn't say anything, instead she smiled and refilled their tea cups. After Aunt Agui sat down, she invited them to try the flower cakes made in her oven.
Soon, after finishing the flower cakes they took out, the three of them returned to the hall together.
Xu Hongdou, who once again experienced making flower cakes, asked Zhang Wentao to help her with interest.
She wrapped every flower cake with extra care and attention.
Not even the smallest detail was spared.
Aunt Agui didn't urge her. Instead, she smiled and pointed Xu Hongdou on how to make the bag look better.
While Xu Hongdou was frowning and smiling, Zhang Wentao quietly looked at the other person's fluttering eyelashes. He knew that although they were in the courtyard just now, the two of them were chatting in a very casual manner and the topic was about the same thing.
But the meaning of what Aunt Agui just said to me is the same.
The three of them all have their own ways of saying goodbye to the upcoming separation. This goodbye may not be cherished, nor does it contain any promises.
It's just that they are all a little reluctant to give up.
Xu Hongdou was reluctant to leave her comfortable environment. This place brought her too much comfort that she had not had in her previous life, allowing her to calm down and feel, think and remember.
Aunt Agui was much simpler. She just didn't want to give up. There were two young people in the courtyard who she liked and who were willing to stop and listen to her chatter. They happened to become a couple right under her nose.
She felt a little proud when she thought about the matchmaking words she had said in the courtyard and how she was sure that the two would get together in front of other aunties.
As for Zhang Wentao, as he became familiar with Aunt Agui, he no longer used "Ah, yes, yes, yes, yes" to deal with her.
In the other party's enthusiasm and sincerity, she was the first stranger in Yunmiao Village, besides Xie Liang, who made him feel that he was not a 'stranger'.
"Hongdou, it's done. I'm going to send some back to your parents. And Wen Tao, you too."
"Okay, Aunt Agui."
"Wen Tao, when you leave, take back the yellow beef ribs I made. I listened to the nonsense in the small courtyard. You like the yellow beef here very much, right?"
"Well, I think yellow beef is the most delicious."
"That's right..."
It’s only been a little over a month in the novel, and I feel like I’ve written a lot of things, and making flower cakes again just happens to be a cycle, haha.
