Chapter 114 Heartbroken

While boiling brown sugar water, Xu Qingmeng said to He Shi, "Mother, touch it first to see if it's cool enough. If it's not cool enough, change the water. If it's cool enough, scoop it out and put it in a bowl. Half a bowl is enough."

The Gu family may not have many other things, but they definitely have plenty of ingredients. Xu Qingmeng casually searched and found roasted peanuts, sesame seeds, and some chopped dates. The ingredients were quite plentiful.

Soon, He's cold rice noodles were all served, and Xu Qingmeng's condiments were also prepared. Tang's wife brought them to the table, and Xu Qingmeng told everyone to add whatever they wanted to eat according to their own taste.

The adults were fine, they just added a little bit of everything, mainly focusing on the cold shrimp. But Yun Sheng was different. She didn't stand on ceremony and scooped up a lot of chopped red dates, peanuts, and sesame seeds.

Xu Qingmeng thought Yun Mo would be a bit more reserved, but who would have thought that he was just as good. The two little ones ate more than half of the small pieces of food.

Mrs. He was furious. She glared at the two of them and said, "You two are at home. When you go to other people's homes in the future, you must not act like this, understand?"

The two little ones nodded, preoccupied with eating, and it was unknown whether they had heard what Mrs. He had said or not.

Seeing the two of them like this, Madam He said to Xu Qingmeng, "I was telling others earlier that if it succeeds, we'll switch to this this morning. But looking at this situation now, I don't think that will work. Who can prevent others from ending up like them? No matter how much we prepare, it won't be enough."

Xu Qingmeng said, "If we use this instead, we only need to add some brown sugar water, and that's it. We can add the rest ourselves, just some sesame seeds and peanuts. We don't need to prepare too much."

After eating the food, He and the others felt that Xu Qingmeng's method was feasible, so they decided to proceed with it.

After everyone agreed, it was time to enjoy the cold shrimp. Because of her pregnancy, Xu Qingmeng didn't eat much and only ate a small bowl.

Yun Sheng and Yun Mo's bellies were like bottomless pits. It was only when Xu Qingmeng saw that they had eaten too much that the two little ones stopped eating.

Tang's wife and Li's wife didn't stand on ceremony either, and He's wife and the three of them each ate two bowls before stopping. With so many people eating, the bowl of cold shrimp was quickly emptied.

Xu Qingmeng thought there would be two or three bowls left, and that Gu Yunyi could have some when he came back in the evening. It was a good idea, but who would have thought that Rongrong would bring several children with her shortly after, all of whom usually played with Yun Sheng and Yun Mo.

"Yun Sheng, Yun Mo, we've come to play with you two too!" A chubby little girl followed behind Rong Rong and said loudly, but her eyes were fixed on the cold shrimp, jujube crumbs and peanut crumbs on the table, and she subconsciously swallowed.

Not only that chubby little girl, but also the children behind her were the same.

Yun Sheng, ever since Xu Qingmeng changed, has never stopped having snacks every day, and she's not one to keep a low profile; she's always showing off to her friends outside.

Those who were close to her were already incredibly envious of her. They hated her boasting, but also wanted to hear her talk about what delicious food she had eaten. They both loved and hated her.

This afternoon, Yun Sheng was showing off again, saying that her sister-in-law made her some cold shrimp. Kids have no resistance to food, so they came over with their friends to see if Yun Sheng was lying.

After all, which of these children doesn't have a sister-in-law? And which sister-in-law cooks delicious food every day? As long as they're not mistreated, giving them something to eat is already a good thing.

Of these children, only Rongrong comes often and knows about the family. The others rarely come to Gujia. They were initially a little embarrassed, but when they saw Rongrong coming, they followed her.

As soon as the children entered, they saw Yun Sheng and Yun Mo, their bellies round and full, lying on the chairs digesting their food. Then, seeing the delicious food laid out on the table, their eyes lit up. Their expressions of wanting to eat but being too shy to open their mouths completely charmed Xu Qingmeng; they were so adorable!
Xu Qingmeng said with a smile, "They just finished eating sweet soup and can't run around yet. They need to rest, so you might have to wait a bit. Luckily, there's still some left, as it won't taste good if we leave it until later. Would you like to help them out?"

The children were overjoyed when they heard this, then exchanged glances, feeling a little embarrassed, but the delicious food was right in front of them, so they nodded.

Sister-in-law Gu is so beautiful, and her smile is so gentle.

Besides Rongrong, they initially suspected Yunsheng of lying outside, but after seeing it with their own eyes, they realized that not all sisters-in-law are bad. There are still sisters-in-law who not only cook delicious food, but are also beautiful and gentle.

Rongrong often came to the Gu family's house and ate quite a few snacks. She was the first to walk to the table and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law." The other children then slowly came over.

"Thank you, Sister-in-law Gu."

"Sister-in-law Gu, you are so beautiful. I have never seen anyone more beautiful than you."

"Yes, my mother said that Sister Gu is beautiful and kind-hearted."

"Yun Sheng, I envy you so much!"

"Me too, it would be great if your sister-in-law and my sister-in-law were switched."

"Sigh, I really wish I had a sister-in-law like that!"

Yun Sheng was envied by everyone, but she wasn't very happy because her sister-in-law wouldn't let her eat any more. She watched helplessly as Xu Qingmeng shared the sweet soup with her friends, and she was already feeling sad when she heard this.
"That won't do, my sister-in-law can only be mine," Yun Sheng exclaimed hurriedly, afraid that someone would snatch her away.

Yun Sheng only said that much, after all, it was all her own fault. Who told her to show off in public? Who could she blame?
I can't be rude, can I? My sister-in-law already told them to eat.

Sigh, now that's bad. Not only are they trying to steal my food, but they're also trying to steal my sister-in-law. Yun Sheng looked distressed.

Xu Qingmeng was delighted; the friendship between children is indeed the purest.

In the afternoon, after Gu Yunyi returned, he learned from Yunmo that he had missed a delicious dish, but he didn't show any unusual reaction at the time.
Xu Qingmeng thought it was just a dish, and Gu Yunyi assumed he didn't care.

Who knew that some of them would become restless while sleeping that very night.

Xu Qingmeng and Gu Yunyi have been sharing a bed for some time now. He has always been very proper and has never done anything out of line. Xu Qingmeng has gradually gotten used to having him by her side.

However, as the weather got hotter, and the bed in the side room wasn't very big, the two of them lying in bed at night, especially with her sleeping inside and because of her pregnancy, couldn't stand the heat and it felt a bit stuffy.

Xu Qingmeng would try to lie on the inside, leaving a large gap between the two of them.
