80, Bean Paste Mooncake 3
Dinner was later made by Tian Yuan, she opened the mooncake and let LuLu and Tian Jia Bao take it to Tian Xi Tang Ge and Tian Mei Mei.
The two siblings probably played over there for a while. When the adults all came back, they held hands and skipped in, giggling and laughing.
Tian Mao Chun couldn't help but laugh at the sight. "Look at Lu Lu and Jia Bao, those two siblings are so affectionate. Even on such a hot day, they're still holding hands, jumping up and down together, just like two peas in a pod."
"Grandpa, just now I and my younger brother gave mooncakes to Tian Xitang, Tian Xi Xiaotang and Tian Huan. They were overjoyed, holding the bean paste mooncake, that one called it 'rare'!" Tian Lu smiled in response.
Zhao Qiuxiang immediately said, "I'm telling you, old masters and kids, you're all blind! Your own family's children aren't enough to divide among yourselves, what are you doing giving them to Tian Xi?"
"It's not much, just enough for the three siblings to share, that's my intention." Tianyuan continued, "I also gave one each to Mei and Jia, half would be enough for them too."
"Why doesn't that one give each of them a good scolding? Tian Gui looked at Tian Huan, "Just one glance and you can tell he's got the makings of a prodigal son."
"Tian Gui! How can you talk like that? The mooncake was given to Yuanyuan by someone else, it's up to her how she wants to share it, and besides, she didn't deprive Meimei and Jia Duan of theirs. What are you in such a hurry about? Besides, the kids have grown up together since they were young, when there's something good to eat, they share it together, what's wrong with that? You, Tian Biao, shouldn't be talking like this." Tian Biao felt extremely angry upon hearing this, he realized that his temper had been getting worse and worse since he came back from the hospital.
Tian Biao hummed and followed Zhao Qiuxiang to the kitchen of his own home. Tian Yuan muttered a sentence, "What's wrong with him? Is he afraid that we will lose something from the Tian family?"
"Dad, Grandpa, that mooncake looks like a big box, but it's actually just nicely packaged, and there are only six in total. We'll keep three at home, give one to Jia Bao, divide the remaining four among us so each of us gets half, give one to Tian Xue Tang Ge and his family, one to Grandma and Grandpa, and that leaves one for Mei Mei and Jia Duan." Tian Yuan explained her plan.
"Hey, what are grandma and grandpa eating? It's not like they're taking ginseng pills or something. You kids love to eat this stuff, but we adults don't really care for it. You can keep it and share half a piece with LuLu." Tian Ma Chun waved his hand and said, "In a few days, I'll go into town and buy a sesame seed cake, eating mooncakes is just for the good luck."
"Grandpa, it's precisely because it's not a precious thing like ginseng that we want to share it together. We know you're being kind and want to save some for me and Lulu, but Grandpa, we care about you too! Lulu and I are willing to each eat half a piece less so that Grandma, Grandpa, Dad, and Mom can all have a little bit. Is that okay?" Tianyuan asked, stroking Tianlu's head.
Tian Lu nodded, "We're still young, Dad and Mom said that we can't be greedy. When we grow up and earn our own money, we can buy whatever we want to eat."
"Hum, so sensible, why not bring that piece of land to your grandfather to eat? All talk and no action, it's easier said than done!" Wu Yugui suddenly appeared from nowhere, after being gone for an entire afternoon, probably hearing the villagers talking about Tian Huan getting a valuable mooncake on his way back.
Tian Mu Chun took the mooncake given by Tian Wei and pulled Wu Yu Gui away. Who knows if she would really see the bean paste mooncake as a rare thing and fight with children to eat it? Since Wu Yu Gui knew about it, this piece of mooncake was definitely not left for the child either.
Tian Wei couldn't help but shake her head. If only her grandmother were still alive, there wouldn't be so many troubles in the family.
