70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 121: Meat Buns

"Uncle, what kind of meat is this? It’s so delicious." Xu Jiaojiao looked at Qin Liang with sparkling eyes.

"Mei Cai Kou Rou, it’s a dish we only have today. Later, both you and Mumu stay. I’ll treat you to some tasty food." Qin Liang patted Xu Jiaojiao’s hair. Over the past six months, Xu Jiaojiao had put on some weight from being a skinny little girl and looked much cuter.

He had only one son at home, and he and Xu Qingxing were planning to have a daughter, having both a son and a daughter would be fantastic.

"We can’t. Grandma wants us to go back for dinner. We shouldn’t waste Uncle’s money. Eating here is expensive." The little girl was quite considerate.

"I can afford to treat you to a meal. Why not come to my house for dinner instead? Your little aunt knows you’re here; she would surely be delighted." Qin Liang said with a smile.

"If big sis goes, then I’ll go." The little girl seemed a bit torn; she missed her little aunt a bit too. Every time her little aunt came home, she would bring lots of delicious food. Besides her big sis, her favorite was her little aunt.

"Alright, I’ll talk to Mumu later. Stay here and don’t run around. Let me go clean up the table over there." Qin Liang patted Xu Jiaojiao’s head. There was already a tableful of guests who had finished eating, and they needed to tidy up.

"Okay." The little girl answered crisply.

By the time Xu Mumu came out, there were already over ten buns packed in her basket, and she had already collected the money.

"Big sis, Uncle wants us to go to his house for dinner." As soon as Xu Jiaojiao saw Xu Mumu come out, she immediately told her.

Qin Liang also came over at this point and extended the invitation.

"No need, Uncle. We will eat at home; Grandma is waiting, and she won’t eat until we are home." Xu Mumu still declined. When leaving, they hadn’t planned on eating in the county town, besides, there were still meat buns in the basket, and if they returned quickly, they might still be warm.

After rejecting Qin Liang’s offer, Xu Mumu took Xu Jiaojiao to the supply and marketing cooperative.

After buying some food at the supply and marketing cooperative, Xu Mumu took Xu Jiaojiao back. Of course, she had wrapped the ice pops bought for the kids in old clothes.

On their way back, they specifically went to look at the spot where Wang Dajin had fainted; he was gone, but as for where he went, Xu Mumu didn’t care. Having taught him a lesson today, she believed he wouldn’t dare to come cause trouble for her.

Moreover, Wang Dajin initially wanted to bully Xu Xue, and she believed Xu Xue would handle him, without needing her to intervene.

When they got home, the sisters walked quickly, and the ice pops hadn’t melted much in the old clothes.

"Sis, the ice pops are so tasty." Tiedan said excitedly.

"But they melted too much; the ice pops right from the local shop are the best." Xu Minglei gulped down the melted water.

After eating the ice pops, Tiedan went home. Xu Mumu had already asked Grandma to heat up the meat buns, ready to eat when they had dinner.

"Girl, I want a bite too." Watching the little ones enjoy their ice pops so happily, Li Caixia’s mouth watered.

"No, Mom. You’re still pregnant; you need to avoid certain foods." Xu Mumu bluntly refused.

"Mom, you can eat an extra meat bun later." Xu Minglei hesitated but decided to listen to big sis. He knew that during pregnancy, there are many things you can’t eat.

"Xu Hai, come over here, it’s all your fault. I don’t want to have a baby anymore." Li Caixia, not able to eat what she craved, vented her frustration on Xu Mumu’s dad.

Xu Mumu watched calmly from the side, knowing that Xu Hai’s thick skin could handle her mom’s tantrums.

"Darling, take it easy, it hurts." Xu Hai’s face scrunched up; his wife always pinched the tenderest part of his waist.

Since his wife was pregnant, he didn’t dare protest.

No, even when Li Caixia wasn’t pregnant, he dared not resist.

After venting on Xu Hai, Li Caixia felt much better, and the little ones had almost finished their ice pops, so there was no need for her to continue craving.

Xu Mumu found it quite amusing; her parents’ relationship was still good, no wonder they could still conceive.

The meat buns for lunch were purchased abundantly by Xu Mumu, everyone got two. Xu Hai gave one from his bowl to Li Caixia.

Xu Mumu ate her meat bun, which had quite a bit of fatty meat making it a bit greasy. After eating one, she gave the other to Xu Hai, as her dad only had one, and she didn’t have much appetite due to the heat.

"Dad, you eat it; it’s a bit greasy."

"Daughter, eat more, put on some weight. Look, you’ve gotten thinner since coming back from school; you need to replenish." Xu Hai wanted to refuse.

"Dad, I really don’t want to eat, you eat. Otherwise, it’ll be wasted. I’ll have some porridge and sauerkraut." Xu Mumu said with a smile; sauerkraut was quite appetizing, paired with cold porridge; it tasted really good.

Seeing that his daughter truly didn’t want to eat, Xu Hai started eating the bun heartily. The state-run restaurant’s buns were indeed tasty; the flavor of white flour was really good, unlike rough cakes that scratched the throat.

Down at the fourth house, Xu Mumu gave Xu Jiaojiao and her siblings one bun each.

The meat buns at lunch received unanimous praise from the family.

Xu Mumu’s mouth twitched; she still preferred lean meat.

Work in the field was done, and in the afternoon, Xu Hai and the others didn’t go to work.

Xu Mumu continued to tutor the kids, and Xu Minglei and Tiedan did well in their final exams, which made Xu Mumu very satisfied. Elementary school courses weren’t difficult, and Xu Mumu’s teaching closely matched what Xu Minglei and Tiedan were learning.

Even Xu Jiaojiao and Xu Tao were at third-grade level.

During the summer break, Xu Mumu planned not to teach them anything new but start directly with English; she understood better than anyone how crucial foreign language would be for their future.

At the second house, Xu Xue was kneading dough, listening to the sounds of the kids reciting English words from the first house, slightly pursing her lips.

"Wanwan, would you like to learn English?" Xu Xue asked her sister, who also heard and was slightly distracted while tending the fire.

"No, I want to help my sister earn money." Xu Wan immediately shook her head.

She was currently in third grade, sharing a class with Xu Minglei and the others. Although Xu Xue taught her primary school knowledge, there was still a noticeable gap between her and Xu Minglei.

Xu Xue took a deep breath, her sister always behaved so well that it made her heart ache.

"Later, I’ll talk to big sis and let you read with Jiaojiao and the others." Xu Xue said seriously.

Though she didn’t know who exactly Xu Mumu was, she knew that Xu Mumu had taught them a lot and their grades had improved significantly.
