"Hey, sister Ding Xiang! Why are you in our house? " On Sunday morning, after washing up, Xixi, who was in high spirits, bounced down the stairs with her father. When she saw that there was someone else in the kitchen, it wasn't her mother, but Ding Xiang, she asked in surprise.
"Sister Ding Xiang came back very late last night, and she was in a hurry to make the cake. She had no place to buy ingredients, so she borrowed our kitchen!" It was Murphy who answered. Murphy was holding a bowl of vegetable and lean meat porridge, running around behind Tong Tong, who was giggling.
Murphy was right. Ding Xiang came back to the airport at midnight last night. Guo Ziyi was worried about his girlfriend, so he contacted Yang Yi. Yang Yi was not arrogant, so he drove to pick up his friend.
On the way, Ding Xiang said that she wanted to make some cakes in the morning and bring them to Guo Ziyi's house. However, there was a problem. Ding Xiang had no place to buy ingredients in the middle of the night, and she had to get up early the next morning to prepare the cake. The sooner she could make the cake, the sooner she could go to Guo Ziyi's house.
Luckily, Ding Xiang had a group of good friends. Although she and Yang Yi did not have ingredients in their house, Yang Yi's house did!
Therefore, Yang Yi took Ding Xiang home and let her use his kitchen in the morning.
It was not a big deal, and there would not be any misunderstanding. After all, Yang Yi was an honest person. Moreover, Murphy was at home!
"Is that so?" After Xixi found out, she went to the kitchen excitedly and curiously watched Ding Xiang being busy. She had never seen Ding Xiang make a cake before. The last time Yang Yi went on a business trip, Ding Xiang had not made a cake when she was their nanny at home.
"Xi Xi, do you like to eat cake? Come and try this. You guys should like this matcha flavored cake or this chocolate flavored cake. " When Ding Xiang saw the lovely Xi Xi, a smile appeared on her nervous face. She hurriedly brought out a small plate and served Xi Xi the cake she had already made.
Although she had learned from Yang Yi, Ding Xiang's culinary skills had improved tremendously over the past few years. Not only could she make all kinds of small cakes now, but she could also make them exquisite. They were even smaller than the cupcakes she used to make. Xi Xi could bite into them one by one. They looked especially tempting!
"Really? PaPa, can I eat it? " Xi Xi looked at these beautiful little cakes, and the little girl who was a little obsessed with looks was moved. She blinked her eyes, turned to look at her father, and asked expectantly.
"You can eat it. Your sister Ding Xiang made quite a lot of cakes. I don't think we can bring so many cakes over." Yang Yi glanced at the table and said with a smile, "But you have to drink some water first."
Ding Xiang did make a lot of cakes, and they filled the table. Not only were there soft cakes, but she also made a blueberry jelly cheesecake and some pudding mousse cups with different flavors.
Yang Yi only realized that Ding Xiang had done so much work when he saw it. No wonder when Yang Yi got up at four o 'clock in the morning to practice boxing, he saw Ding Xiang busy in the kitchen.
After a while, Xi Xi tasted the cake made by Ding Xiang. Under Ding Xiang's expectant gaze, she nodded vigorously with her eyes shining and said, "It's delicious, so delicious!"
Ding Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since Xi Xi thought it was delicious, she was relieved. She was afraid that she would make a defective product and bring it over, which would be embarrassing!
However, when she was thinking about what to say when she went to Guo Ziyi's house, Xi Xi ate the small piece of pudding mousse in her hand and asked sweetly, "sister Ding Xiang, can I have a little bit?"
Ding Xiang came back to her senses and said to Xi Xi with a smile, "Of course, do you still like it? Then you can pick some, but put them in the fridge. "
"No, no, I want to eat it!" Xi Xi pointed outside and clarified in a clear voice, "Xin Er wants to eat it. She likes cake very much!"
"Xi Xi, let me ask you a question. How many gold coins does Xin Er have now?"
…
According to the agreement, Ding Xiang arrived at Guo Ziyi's house at about 10 o 'clock, which was located in the Municipal Government Family Compound in Wuhu District. Tan Huizhen had already told the guards. After Ding Xiang reported the purpose of her visit, someone led her in.
After all, it was the place where the mayor of the provincial capital lived. Ding Xiang quickly saw a small two-story bungalow with a single door and yard. The yard was not big, but there were flowers and plants. Even in winter, it was full of vitality. Of course, compared with Yang Yi's house, this old-fashioned house built in the 1990s was not luxurious at all!
However, this was Guo Ziyi's house after all. Ding Xiang suddenly became nervous and did not dare to breathe.
"Ding Xiang, you're here? Welcome, welcome. Oh, I'm really sorry that I have to trouble you to come here for Ziyi! " The courtyard door opened, and Tan Huizhen came out to greet him with a smile on her face. She spoke very politely.
Until now, Tan Huizhen still only regarded Ding Xiang as Guo Ziyi's colleague. After all, she was the one who had troubled others. It was normal for her to be polite.
However, Ding Xiang was a little confused by her enthusiasm and did not know how to respond.
At this time, Tan Huizhen saw the cake box in Ding Xiang's hand and frowned slightly. Her tone became a little reproachful as she said, "Ding Xiang, look at you. Why did you bring something when you came? Let me tell you, you have to take all of them back later. "
Ding Xiang was stunned.
"This is not directed at you. Our Old Guo has set a rule that he does not accept gifts from others. Therefore, those officials who come to our house have to come empty-handed." Tan Huizhen realized that she might be a little too serious. She smiled and explained, "But you're not an official. Otherwise, I would have to chase you out with so many gifts."
Ding Xiang looked embarrassed and stood there with the cake in her hand. She did not know what to do and could only stammer, "Auntie, I'm sorry. I really don't know these rules. I thought that since it's my first time here, I brought you some cakes that I made myself …"
Tan Huizhen looked at Ding Xiang's flustered appearance and thought of the student magazine report on Ding Xiang's background that she had seen on Guo Ziyi's desk. She could not help but feel a little pity for her.
This was an honest girl.
"Hey, Ding Xiang, do you think Auntie has become muddle-headed?" Tan Huizhen laughed and said, "I treat you the same as other people who come to your Uncle Guo's house to do things. I forgot that you were invited here by Auntie. Come in, come in and talk."
She recovered her initial enthusiasm and even reached out to help Ding Xiang carry the cake. She said with a smile, "You made a cake for us? How embarrassing is that? Today, I'll have to trouble you to help Auntie bring some clothes and tonics to Ziyi. Auntie wanted to treat you to lunch at home. I didn't expect to trouble you to make a cake. "
"Auntie, I'll do it. Don't say that. It's not troublesome. Besides, this is my job! " Ding Xiang hurriedly stopped Tan Huizhen and followed her in with the cake. "Auntie, you can call me Xiao Ding. That's what everyone calls me."
