Chapter 473: So We're Benefiting From His Light Again

Liu Chuxue glanced at her mother; this steamed cake must have had sugar added. She was truly generous, clearly very satisfied with Fu Yan Cheng as a future son-in-law.

Fu Yan Cheng praised as he ate: "I didn't expect steamed cake made from millet flour to be so delicious."

Liu Chuxue looked at him with amusement and said sourly: "Sugar was added to this; how could it not be delicious?"

Who was Fu Yan Cheng? He quickly understood the meaning from Liu Chuxue's sour words and turned to look at Liu's mother: "Auntie is still the one who treats me best. I'll buy some sugar and bring it over later."

Liu's mother hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't listen to her nonsense."

Liu Chuxue looked up and defended herself: "How am I talking nonsense? Usually when you make steamed cake, you mostly mix in cornmeal. Today's steamed cake, you specially added white flour, right? And before, when making steamed cake, Mom, you always added saccharin. Now you're being generous, adding white sugar directly."

Liu's mother didn't expect Liu Chuxue to taste the difference. She looked at her with amusement: "Yes, yes, yes, I did mix in white flour and add white sugar. You really are benefiting from Fu Yan Cheng's light."

Hearing this, Fu Yan Cheng's face was full of smiles. Looking at Liu Chuxue, he said: "In the future, I'll buy more white sugar and bring it over, so Auntie can put white sugar in every time she steams cake."

Liu Chuxue originally wanted to say, "Eat less saccharin in the future; eating too much of that stuff is bad for your health," but thinking that country people now use saccharin to replace white sugar, if she really said that, her mother would definitely scold her a few times.

Liu's mother used chopsticks she hadn't used yet to pick up a portion of cold-mixed sweet potato vines for Fu Yan Cheng: "Taste this. I added quite a bit of sesame oil today."

Liu Chuxue deliberately said sourly: "Fine, so we are benefiting from his light again."

Chunxiao heard this, looked up at Fu Yan Cheng, and said: "Second brother-in-law, come often in the future, so we can benefit from your light more."

Liu's mother lightly tapped Chunxiao: "What's wrong? Did I treat you poorly before?"

Chunxiao hurriedly begged for mercy: "No, no, no. I'm just greedy for food; I want to eat more delicious things."

After finishing, she drank the last mouthful of porridge from her bowl: "Mom, I'm done. I'm going to cut pig grass."

Liu's mother called out after her back: "As soon as you finish cutting the pig grass, come back immediately to do your homework. Don't go running around wildly."

Ever since Liu Chuxue got the job at the rolling mill, Liu's mother has been very strict about Chunxiao's studies, wanting her to get a iron rice bowl job in the future too, so she could find a good family later.

After the meal, Liu's mother refused Liu Chuxue and Fu Yan Cheng's attempt to help wash the dishes: "Alright, you two go do what you need to do. I'll wash the dishes."

Liu Chuxue didn't insist; actually, she really didn't like the work of washing dishes.

Glancing at the man standing in the sunlight: After they get married, she should leave the dishwashing to him.

Turning back to the room to pack up her things: "Mom, we're leaving then. I'm going straight back to the factory to work. If anything comes up, give me a call."

Saying this, she handed the paper with the phone number written on it to Liu's mother: "This is the phone number for our section chief's office. If you need anything, just call this number."

Liu's mother thought of something: "Wait."

She went into the room and took out the watch the Fu family had sent: "A person relies on clothes, a horse relies on tack. Now that you work at the factory, having this watch will make checking the time convenient."

Actually, what she wanted to say more was that wearing this watch would make people look at her with higher regard, saving her from being bullied, but with her future son-in-law present, she didn't dare say it out loud.

After all, this face-saving item was given by the Fu family; she wasn't comfortable making big claims in front of Fu Yan Cheng.
