Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Brainwashing
Old Lady: "..."
This daughter-in-law, even now she doesn’t forget to compete for favor, making Ye Fei the butt of the joke!
Xiao Mo: "..."
Before, he didn’t know he was the biological grandson, but now that he knows, he can’t believe that when it comes to being cute, Grandma can outmatch him.
The old lady quickly changed the topic: "Oh, Ye Fei, what did you bring over?"
Ye Fei quickly snapped out of her shock and said, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I made some mooncakes at home this morning and brought them over."
"That’s great!" The old lady’s eyes lit up instantly, "Do you know, last time you prepared lunch at our house, my old friends really liked it, and they’re still talking about it."
Ye Fei smiled and said, "Then how about I handle tonight’s family dinner?"
Who knew, the old lady quickly opposed: "Oh no, today you’re here to enjoy the festival, how can we let you prepare?"
"Of course, we don’t treat you as a guest, given that you’re Xiao Shen’s fiancée," said the old lady.
Ye Fei looked at Zhao Gushen in surprise.
You told Grandma this?
Zhao Gushen indicated he hadn’t.
It was all the old lady’s own initiative.
No wonder they’re alike, thinking along the same lines.
"However, this is your first formal visit as Xiao Shen’s fiancée," the old lady said, "How could we have you do any work?"
Ye Fei had already given up on explaining.
Just as she let Zhao Gushen have his say, she let the old lady call her the fiancée.
Ye Fei had a premonition that even if she explained, it would be of no use.
Brainwashing skills must run in the family, Zhao Gushen probably inherited it from the old lady.
"Besides, even if it’s not your first visit, even if you come often, we wouldn’t let you take charge of these tasks. Although you’re a great cook, it’s enough to make one or two dishes from time to time for us to taste," said the old lady.
"You’re here to enjoy the blessings in our home," said the old lady.
"Quick, let me see the mooncakes," the old lady urged again.
During festivals, many people send things to the home.
For the Mid-Autumn Festival, mooncakes are naturally included.
However, ordinary mooncakes are considered too common to send to this old house.
They’re generally from five-star hotels.
Or they’re extremely famous from online influencers.
But the old lady felt that most of them were quite average.
Some of the harder-to-find influencer mooncakes are indeed delicious and pricey.
But there’s always something missing.
As for mooncakes from five-star hotels, most are just for the reputation.
They carry the hotel’s name, sounding prestigious, but the taste is just so-so.
They might not even be as good as those made in bakeries.
Of course, there are some delicious ones, but they’re rare.
So, the old lady isn’t really interested in those mooncakes.
In past years, they were just eaten symbolically for the festival.
It’s Ye Fei’s homemade mooncakes that the old lady is genuinely eager to taste.
"I thought there would be plenty of people sending mooncakes over," Ye Fei laid out the mooncakes she made on the table, "So I didn’t make the usual flavors. I made two types: one is molten custard, and the other is coconut milk matcha. The coconut milk matcha is snow skin mooncake."
"For these two types, I used xylitol instead of sugar, and much less than usual, for you and the... " Ye Fei wanted to say ’old man,’ but remembered the old lady told her to change her term.
