Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 125 Getting Picky
Manager Yang followed the aroma as he entered, his eyes lighting up: "Manager Xu, I could smell it from outside, it's so fragrant, much better than the faint aroma from the Su Xiang Ge across the street."

Xu Qingmeng just smiled, then asked someone to bring out the wife cakes. Everyone was unceremonious and took one each, not caring that it was hot, and stuffed it into their mouths.

"Mmm, so delicious!" Madam Chen's eyes widened as she took a bite.

Xinting was also enjoying her meal immensely. As expected, she was still the best aunt. She still had a lot to learn.

The others also received extremely high praise, whether they were salty or sweet, they all raved about them.

In fact, even if they didn't say anything, Xu Qingmeng could feel at ease just by watching how they ate.

This batch was quite large, but not too many. I planned to give a few to Yun Sheng and Yun Mo, but then I remembered Gu Yunyi's tantrum last time. I hesitated for a moment, but eventually picked out eight, four sweet and four salty.

The others quickly finished the rest, but Xinting, relying on her aunt, managed to get an extra one. She was so happy, it was like she had found gold on the street.

When Xu Qingmeng returned home in the afternoon, she saw Yun Sheng and Yun Mo running over.

As Yun Sheng ran, she asked, "Sister-in-law, what delicious food did you bring today?"

Xu Qingmeng was quite helpless; the little girl's obsession with food was something else entirely...
He heard this from inside the courtyard and immediately retorted, "Your sister-in-law has been out for half a day, and you didn't even ask if she was tired? You just open your mouth and you know how much your sister-in-law dotes on you."

Yun Sheng stuck out her tongue, walked over to Xu Qingmeng, touched Xu Qingmeng's belly, and said in a mature tone, "Baby, be good in your sister-in-law's belly, or I'll beat you when you come out."

Madam He was both amused and exasperated by Yun Sheng's childish behavior. She gave her a light tap on the head and said, "This child, the baby hasn't even come out yet, and you're already lecturing her. What will she be like when she's born?"

Yun Sheng, however, raised her chin dismissively: "That's exactly why we need to teach them now, so the baby will be obedient when they're born, right!"

"You!"

Yunmo, on the other hand, was relatively quiet, but he kept his bright eyes fixed on Xu Qingmeng's hand with an expectant look in his eyes.

Xu Qingmeng was both amused and exasperated. "We made some new desserts today, some sweet and some savory."

Upon hearing this, Yun Sheng cheered and reached out to grab it, but Xu Qingmeng gently slapped her hand and said, "Go wash your hands first. Those who are not clean will not get to eat."

Yun Sheng pouted reluctantly, but her sister-in-law always kept her word, so she had no choice but to obediently go wash her hands.

Yunmo followed Yunsheng to wash her hands, and then the two of them rushed back.

Yun Sheng likes sweet things, so I handed him a sweet one, while Yun Mo prefers savory ones.

As soon as Yun Sheng got it, she couldn't wait to take a bite. Her cheeks were bulging, and she said indistinctly, "Sister-in-law, this is so delicious. It's different from the pastries I've had before. It's so crispy and crunchy."

Although Yunmo didn't say anything, his satisfied expression showed that he liked it very much.

The two little ones were eating with great relish when Gu Yunyi returned from outside.

As soon as he entered the house, he said, "Is there anything I can eat quickly? I haven't had lunch yet."

Xu Qingmeng looked at Gu Yunyi with a puzzled expression. How could she go out and still go hungry?

Gu Yunyi understood what she meant, shook his head, and gestured for her to talk about it later.

Xu Qingmeng handed him the snacks in her hand and said, "Yes, have some first to tide you over. I'll get you a bowl of soup first, and then you can put the noodles in." The chicken soup was made with an old hen and had been simmering for an entire afternoon. Xu Qingmeng was pregnant, and He Shi had specially bought it for her.

This kind of old hen soup is more fragrant and nutritious.

She ladled a bowl of noodles into his bowl and handed it to him. Then she put the noodles she had rolled out on the cutting board into the pot. Shuiku said, "There are steamed buns and shumai at home. You left in such a hurry this morning, didn't you even know to eat? Why didn't you have lunch again?"

Gu Yunyi shook his head and sighed.

Gu Yunyi was probably starving. Even though the chicken soup was a bit hot, he ate a wife cake and then a sip of chicken soup, and that was how he finished the whole bowl of chicken soup.

"Slow down, don't rush."

After eating two wife cakes and drinking a bowl of chicken soup, Gu Yunyi finally felt a little full and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was busy with some things today and for a moment I was careless and missed the mealtime," Gu Yunyi explained.

Xu Qingmeng wondered if Gu Yunyi had encountered something difficult. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a mistake with his calm demeanor.

Xu Qingmeng glanced at him with a suspicious look.

Then I saw that the chicken noodle soup in the pot was ready, so I picked up his bowl, ladled out a bowl for him, and handed it to him.

Looking at her older brother's expression, Yun Sheng said, "Is older brother a picky eater?"

Gu Yunyi coughed, then lowered his head awkwardly.

Madam He: "What? Yun Sheng and Yun Mo are picky? You're such a grown-up, why are you being picky too?"

Xu Qingmeng smiled helplessly, wondering how bad it must taste.

With more food available at home, Yun Sheng and Yun Mo have become quite picky eaters. They no longer find store-bought snacks appealing, and they eat far less candy. They no longer accept everything offered by others, but rather become selective. This has earned them a lot of praise, with many saying that the two children are becoming increasingly well-mannered.

Although Gu Yunyi is somewhat picky, he wouldn't refuse to eat a single bite!

Sure enough, Gu Yunyi blushed instantly upon hearing He Shi's words and said softly, "The main problem is that the food wasn't cooked properly, and the meat seemed a bit spoiled."

Mrs. He was furious. "So you're starting to look down on meat now? Our family is really... raising a young lady, a young master, and another young master!!!"

Yun Sheng and Yun Mo widened their eyes innocently: Weren't we talking about our eldest brother? How did we get dragged into this? We're really being subtly insulted.

Gu Yunyi set a bad example for his younger siblings, and Mrs. He was already having a headache because of the two little ones!
He didn't say anything, just kept his head down and ate his noodles.

Xu Qingmeng then stepped in to smooth things over: "Yunyi still has an exam to take, so he's probably worried about getting sick from eating and missing the exam. I'm hungry, Mother, let's eat too. By the way, isn't Xun-ge'er coming home for dinner today?"

Madam He brought the food that Xu Qingmeng had prepared to the table and said, "Let's not go back. You won't be here this afternoon. Young Master Zhou is here. He said that Xun-ge'er is going to the banquet with Accountant Zhou today."

Hearing this, Gu Yunyi asked, "Zhou Yuanjia came today?"

Madam He had already taken the bowl out. Xu Qingmeng, having heard what Madam He had said, replied, "Yes, Mother said she came to borrow two books from you, but she left when she saw you weren't home."
