Aunt Agui secretly observed Xu Hongdou's face, and seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, she continued to ask: "I heard that you are still good friends with Chen Nanxing?"
For Aunt Agui, there is no such thing as a best friend, isn’t it just another name for a good friend?
"Yeah."
"Then me!" Aunt Agui poured the crushed rose petals in the bowl into the big basin, and sincerely advised: "I advise you to keep a distance from Lin Ze. When you came back yesterday... the news spread throughout the village.
Wow...Tsk! What you said is so unpleasant!"
Having worked as a hotel lobby manager for so many years, Xu Hongdou admitted that he had heard a lot of insults from guests and rumors from colleagues, so instead of worrying about what Aunt Agui said, he felt a lot of curiosity in his heart.
"What did they say about me?" Xu Hongdou asked curiously, following Aunt Agui's movements.
"Hi! You kid?" Aunt Agui looked at Xu Hongdou with a bit of hatred: "I'm telling you this just because I don't want you to hear this again. Why do you..."
"Aunt Agui... don't worry, I can bear it. Besides, if you don't tell me what they said about me, how will I know how to change it?"
"That's what you said..." Aunt Agui was a little convinced by Xu Hongdou, "But if I really say it, don't be angry!"
"Don't worry..." Xu Hongdou said in a brisk tone: "Aunt Agui didn't say these words. Why should I be angry with you?"
"Then I have said it..." Aunt Agui was not used to Xu Hongdou at all, and her character was not a polite person. "This is what you asked me to say!"
After saying that, Aunt Agui started to figure it out, "Look at the new guy from Feng Xiaoyuan. He got together with his best friend's boyfriend when he arrived, and they even bought a big Mercedes-Benz together... Tsk! That money... I can't tell you.
How did it come about?"
Aunt Agui changed her posture, pretending to be the companion of the previous person and echoed: "That's right! That's right! Instead of using that money to treat my wife's illness, instead... tsk tsk!"
Aunt Agui shook her head as she spoke, and the expression on her face was even more profound.
But after hearing this, Xu Hongdou felt okay. After all, when she was promoted to the lobby manager, her colleagues arranged her and the leader who promoted her in this way.
But after hearing what Aunt Agui said next, Xu Hongdou gradually couldn't stand it any longer.
"Looking at the look of the new guy, you can tell that she seduced many young men when she was young. Maybe she wants to know about her best friend's illness, and she is the one who instigated her not to treat her best friend's illness behind her back."
"Sizzling...sizzling..." The iron basin holding the rose cake filling sizzled when Xu Hongdou's hand grabbed it.
However, Aunt Agui did not notice this scene, and instead changed into another character, "Let me tell you! Maybe the money they paid for the car was obtained by the death of her best friend? Don't they all show it on TV?
Have you passed? Are you using your wife's death to cheat insurance or something?"
"Put...!"
Aunt Agui turned her head to look at Xu Hongdou in astonishment, "Hongdou, what did you just say?"
"It's nothing..." Xu Hongdou bit her molars and said to Aunt Agui.
Before Aunt Agui could ask again, Xu Hongdou quickly changed the subject and said, "Aunt Agui, this stuffing is done, what should we do next?"
It's no wonder that Xu Hongdou couldn't bear it. It would have been okay if she just talked about it, but when Chen Nanxing was involved in this matter, Xu Hongdou felt a little uncomfortable.
"You kid... just pick it up with flour! Don't you understand this?"
Xu Hongdou laughed and said: "I didn't react at the moment, so should we wrap it up now?"
"It's ready when it's ready!"
……
After successfully putting the wrapped flower cake into the oven, the sense of accomplishment dissipated a lot of inner gloom.
"Aunt Baoping, can we take some back after this is made?" Xu Hongdou looked at Aunt Baoping and asked.
Aunt Baoping nodded without hesitation: "Of course! I'll get you some more when they're all done, so you can send them back to your parents to have a taste."
"Thank you Aunt Aquarius."
"Hi..." Aunt Baoping waved and smiled, "Why are you so polite to me?"
In a short while, the first batch of baked flower cakes came out of the oven.
The heat in the oven rushed straight into Xu Hongdou's nose with the aroma of flower cakes. The soft and golden flower cakes made people look like they were moving.
At this time, Aunt Agui said sarcastically: "Your oven is not as good as the one I have. It's obviously not powerful enough, and this one obviously doesn't taste crispy enough!"
"Okay, okay..." Aunt Baoping knew that Aunt Agui was like this, so she didn't know her the same way, "Then next time I'll switch to your oven and come to the head office?"
"Hmph..." Aunt Agui raised her head proudly and said, "Then I'll let you see it next time!"
"Come! Red beans and barley, come and try it and see if it tastes good?" Aunt Baoping put the plate on the table in the yard and invited Xu Hongdou and barley.
"It's so delicious!" Xu Hongdou couldn't help but close his eyes the next second he put the flower cake in his mouth. After swallowing it, he looked at the remaining flower cake in his hand and said in disbelief: "It's really
I can’t believe I did this!”
Damai nodded and agreed: "It's really delicious!"
While Xu Hongdou and Barley were eating, Aunt Baoping divided the remaining flower cakes on the plate into two portions.
"Come! Take it home to eat, and bake the rest before sending it home."
Xu Hongdou looked at the carton in front of him and refused with some embarrassment: "Isn't this a bit too much? Are we taking and eating at the same time?"
"What's the point?" Aunt Aquarius said generously: "We are tired of eating this stuff, so just take it and eat it. If you eat well, we will make it together next time."
"Just take it if I ask you to take it!" Aunt Agui said next to her.
Xu Hongdou had no choice but to take the box from Aunt Baoping's hand, "Then thank Aunt Baoping and Aunt Agui."
After leaving the door of Aunt Baoping's house, Xu Hongdou originally wanted to go to Lin Ze's house to let him taste the flower cake she made, but then she remembered what Aunt Baoping said before.
Xu Hongdou could only choose to go back to Youfeng Xiaoyuan with Damai first.
When Xu Hongdou and Damai passed by Mr. Ma, they didn't notice that Mr. Ma's nose twitched a few times.
‘What are they carrying in their hands? Why does it smell so good?’
Mr. Ma moved his body and made some slight noises, hoping that Xu Hongdou and Damai would discover that he was still here.
Unfortunately, neither of them noticed his little move and returned to their respective rooms carrying the flower cake.
'Alas...' Mr. Ma sighed secretly, took advantage of the situation and stood up and walked towards the teahouse.
When no one was around at night, Xu Hongdou carried the cold flower cake and walked towards Lin Ze's house.
