Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1743 - 1750: Sun and Moon in the Great Pot within the Sleeve (7)

"Ha, such a big mouth, but I wonder how capable you really are?"

Cai Wei chuckled and said to Juhua, "You just line up here, I’ll go back to the car and take a nap first. I got up early today, and now I’m really tired."

Juhua replied, "Go ahead then, I’ll come find you when I’m done!" With that, she joined the long line.

Actually, Cai Wei didn’t get up early; it was just that the children were about to wake up. Once they woke up, they would want to eat. Although they had some snacks and fruit before, they hadn’t had a proper meal yet. So, while Juhua was queuing, she returned to the car and entered Space to cook for the children.

When she got back to Space, the children were still sweetly asleep. Cai Wei went to the vegetable garden, picked a big pumpkin, and made some sweet pumpkin pancakes for the children. Cai Wei thought, kids definitely like sweets, and sweet pumpkin pancakes would surely suit their taste.

She even made some tomato sauce specifically to dip the pumpkin pancakes in. As for the side dish, she boiled some salted edamame and steamed a bowl of tender egg custard. The children were still young and couldn’t eat anything too tough. She didn’t want to give them too many stir-fried dishes either. Egg custard was nutritious and delicious, so it became the dish she made for the children most often.

Not long after she finished cooking, the children gradually woke up. Cai Wei took them to relieve themselves, then helped them wash their little hands before coming to the table to eat.

This was the first time the children had eaten pumpkin pancakes. When Cai Wei placed the pancakes with tomato sauce into their bowls, they immediately became curious and eyed the new dish with wide, glistening eyes. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Although curious, they all knew that whatever their mother made for them was surely good. So, without hesitation, each of them grabbed a pancake with their little chubby hands and put it in their mouth.

The same pumpkin pancakes, yet the children had different reactions. Jin’er furrowed his little brow, looking rather displeased, probably because he didn’t like the sweetness of the pancakes. Meanwhile, Bright Pearls loved them, immediately taking a big bite after the first one, eating with great relish and her eyes curved in happiness. Yu’er showed no particular expression, quietly eating away, revealing nothing about whether they liked it or not...

Cai Wei didn’t like picky eaters. Whatever she made must be eaten, regardless of whether they liked it. Otherwise, she’d let them starve. She absolutely wouldn’t cook something else just because the children were picky—she believed that doing so only encouraged the bad habit of being picky!

Under her gentle care, the children ate until they were full. Even the picky Jin’er ate a pumpkin pancake. After eating, they happily toddled outside to play, and Cai Wei handed them over to Chang Mei and Brother Ying, then hurried back to the car herself.

Juhua would be back soon, and if she found no one in the car upon her return, she might be frightened.

Shortly after returning to the carriage, Juhua came back too. As soon as she entered, she complained, "So many people! But we finally got a spot in line, though it’s seven days later at Shenshi. Cai Wei, can you make it then?"

Cai Wei said, "I can!"

Even if she couldn’t, she’d figure it out. Otherwise, Juhua’s parents wouldn’t let her go out.

Seeing Cai Wei being so loyal, Shen Juhua happily said, "Cai Wei, you are truly wonderful!"

At the Duke Li Guo’s Mansion

Mo Shuya angrily recounted to Mo Zili about her encounter with Shen Juhua, furiously saying, "Third Uncle, Shen Juhua is really too much. You even risked your life for her, but she treats you like this. Had I known she was this heartless and ungrateful, I wouldn’t have associated with her. She’s truly an ingrate!"

After listening to Mo Shuya, Mo Zili chuckled lightly and said, "Juhua is not heartless or ungrateful; she’s just a bit slow. Sooner or later, she’ll come to her senses."

Mo Shuya, astonished, asked, "Third Uncle, what do you mean by that? Are you not giving up on her?"

Give up, how could he give up?

Listening to Mo Shuya’s childish words, Mo Zili couldn’t help but bitterly smile. To him, Shen Juhua was seen as the salvation of his life; how could he possibly give up on her!
