Chapter 285 Mulberry Cake
When Lin Yizhi came back after making the mulberry cake, it was already time for dinner.
After dinner, Lin Jiaojiao went out with them for a walk, which was just the right time to help digest the food.
Apart from the construction team members, there are few other villagers strolling around the lake.
Although they all knew that a school had been built here, their children had not yet come here to attend school, so they were embarrassed to hang around. Besides, they were exhausted from work all day and fell asleep as soon as they ate. How could they have the leisure to go for a walk?
Lin Jiaojiao walked beside Lin Yiyan and listened to him talk about the revenue of each store yesterday and the progress of the school.
"The teacher that Auntie Lin found agreed to come, but she has one requirement: she wants to bring her whole family with her, so she needs a bigger house to live in."
She listened carefully and nodded, saying, "That's easy. Half of the courtyard has been built. We can choose a place for them to live in."
Now there are only two two-courtyard houses left, and one courtyard is still under construction, and half of the quadrangle is left.
The townhouse has been repaired, but no one is willing to buy it and live in it.
She was not in a hurry. The house could not be sold for much money. Even if it could not be sold, she could convert it into a dormitory when the farm could no longer accommodate them.
What she didn't expect was that the second courtyard was sold the fastest, and the remaining two households were bought by Su Tongpan and Qiu Xilan in full.
Originally, Qiu Xilan only wanted to buy a courtyard, after all, it was just the two of them living here. But then Song Jiajia came to visit Lin Yizhizi, and no one knew what they talked about, but the next day Qiu Xilan took a banknote and bought the courtyard that had just started construction.
Later, she went to ask Lin Yizhi, and learned from him that he had already arranged a marriage for his future child, which made her frown.
Just when she was thinking of the wrong words to persuade him not to hastily decide on the child's marriage, he said he was joking, and she was accused instead.
"My dear wife, if you don't believe me, how could I possibly use our child's happiness as a bargaining chip? I just said that when we have a child, our two families will be close to each other, and we can grow up together as childhood sweethearts, right?"
As for what happened afterwards, she only remembered coaxing the man into bed.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiaojiao looked at the back of Lin Yizhi who was walking in front of her. He also turned around as if he had sensed something, smiled brightly at them, and then turned back to continue chatting with Fu Qi and the others.
This made her lower her head guiltily, and she stroked Lin Yiyan's belly again to cover up the dirty thoughts that had just appeared in her mind.
Lin Yiyan didn't notice anything unusual about her, and nodded slightly while holding her belly.
"This is the only arrangement we can make for now. There's no problem with the male tutor."
She said with some distress: "Brother, just let Aunt Lin and the others handle these things. Your most important task now is to rest assured and wait for the birth of your baby."
But he took her hand and said, "I don't know what to do except embroidering. It would be nice to have something to do."
She took his hand and squeezed it, "Okay, but don't overwork yourself."
After walking around, Lin Yiyan couldn't walk anymore and went back.
Lin Jiaojiao continued to follow Lin Yizhi and the others for a while, and when they returned to the main room, Xiaowu brought out the mulberry cake.
She was a little surprised when she saw it, as it coincided with her thoughts in the morning.
It was a lavender cake with a circle of flowers on top and filled with mulberries and strawberries. It looked very beautiful.
"Yizhi, you are amazing, so pretty!"
Lin Yizhi smiled and took the fruit knife, cut a piece for her, put it on a white porcelain plate and handed it to her.
"My dear wife, please try it. I made the jam with two kinds of fruits. Please taste it." After saying that, he cut the remaining cake into pieces and gave them to others.
She took a small spoon and scooped a piece into her mouth. Her eyes lit up and she looked at Lin Yizhi, telling him with her eyes that it was delicious.
Lin Yizhi also received the signal and immediately expressed his thoughts.
"My dear wife, how about halving the strawberry cake and using it to make mulberry cake? How about setting the price at one hundred and ten cents?"
"Sure, I'll go talk to Sister Liu tomorrow. Five baskets of fruit a day should be enough, right?"
"Yeah, that's enough."
While they were discussing this, Fu Qi wanted to eat more after finishing one piece, but he couldn't eat too many mulberries. He loved sweets recently. He looked at Lin Jiaojiao pitifully, begging.
He wanted to eat another piece.
Lin Jiaojiao felt soft-hearted and was about to cut a small piece for him, but Lin Yiyan held her hand.
"No, wait for Xiaozhi to bring back more strawberry flavors tomorrow. It's better to eat less of the mulberry flavor."
Although Fu Qi felt a little disappointed, she instantly became happy again when she heard that she could eat more tomorrow.
"Second brother, can you give me two more snow meringues? I think the skin is delicious, soft and sticky."
Lin Yizhi smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll give you an extra copy."
"Hehe, thank you, second brother."
Jiang Huai was eating the cake in his bowl slowly. After he finished the last bit, he raised his head and looked at Lin Jiaojiao.
"Can you take me to the city with you tomorrow? I want to do some shopping."
She didn't even think about it and just agreed in one breath.
"Sure, I'll call you before we leave tomorrow."
"okay."
Lin Yizhi and Fu Qi both regretted that they couldn't go together. One had to take care of farm matters, and the other had to take good care of the pregnancy. Lin Yiyan's eyes flashed with displeasure.
He stood up, holding his stomach, and greeted everyone with a tired face.
"I'm tired. I'm going back to the house to rest."
After hearing this, Lin Jiaojiao quickly ate the remaining cake on the plate, then stood up and followed Lin Yiyan.
"Brother, are you going to wipe your body or take a bath today?"
She walked into the room, closed the door, and went to the closet to get his pajamas.
Lin Yiyan had already walked behind the screen and was undressing, and replied indifferently.
"I've been sweating a lot today, so I'd better take a shower."
"Okay, give me the kid."
Zhao Xiaotong also came in with a bucket of hot water. After hearing her words, he gave the bucket to her, closed the door and stood outside waiting.
Lin Jiaojiao came behind the screen carrying a bucket of hot water, and saw that the person had already taken off his clothes and was holding up his big belly with both hands.
Although I have seen this scene many times, I still feel it is very impactful every time I see it.
She calmly put down the bucket, reached out to test the water temperature, and when it was just the right temperature, she picked up the pot and washed him. After his body was wet, he picked up the soap and wiped it on himself.
Lin Jiaojiao stood beside him waiting to wash his back and legs. After all, his belly was big, and it was not easy to wash his lower part and back by himself.
Usually Lin Jiaojiao would come to help, and after washing his feet, she would massage his swollen feet so that he could sleep more comfortably at night.
After he had washed every area he could reach, he handed the soap to her.
She just reached out to take it, but he held her hand, and her voice was a little dull and hoarse.
"Jiaojiao, can you stay tonight?"
