Chapter 257
257 An Official Is Here
The little boy said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let them do it for nothing. I can pay them. I have money!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the other children also said, “Then I want it too, I want it too! I’ve never eaten such delicious longevity noodles before. I feel that after eating these noodles, I will definitely be able to live a long life.”
They only felt that the noodles were too delicious. Not only was it refreshing and smooth, but it also carried an indescribable fragrance. Even the noodle soup was especially delicious.
In any case, they had never eaten such delicious noodles before.
Little Ah Yu smiled. “Then I’ll tell you the news after I ask Mother and Grandma.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Originally, Little Ah Yu felt that after eating the Longevity Noodles, she would no longer have the stomach to eat the mooncakes. Now that she had distributed the noodles with everyone, there would naturally be space for the mooncakes.
Hence, everyone went to get mooncakes to eat.
The taste of the mooncake was much worse because it was made with very ordinary water. This was water that Old Madam Wang had specially gone to borrow from the granny next door.
There was no need to mention the villagers of Hu Family Village. The wells, canals, and ponds in the village were more or less mixed with Myriad Spirit Water.
The villagers usually ate and drank the water, and they no longer had diarrhea.
However, the surrounding neighbors might not have tasted it before. In order not to cause the tragedy of everyone having diarrhea during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Old Madam Wang could only avoid using the Myriad Spirit Water first.
There was no choice since all the water in their Wang Family was stained with the taste of Immortals. It was fine if they were for people on the same side, but it was a little rude to let the guests run to the toilet continuously.
However, the reason why the mooncakes did not taste good was only because it was compared to the Longevity Noodles, no one else had eaten the Longevity Noodles before, so they could not taste the difference.
Moreover, the mooncakes made by Madam Ma were not inferior to the ones made by the big stalls outside.
“This mooncake is also delicious! I like to eat the ones with lotus filling.”
“Mine is a yolk mooncake. It’s also very delicious.”
“Aiya, mine is the one with orange peel fillings. Although I don’t like this taste very much, Ah Yu, your family made it very well. It’s not bad at all.”
Little Ah Yu smiled. “It’s good that you like it. There’s also a lot of osmanthus biscuits, osmanthus cakes, chrysanthemum cakes, chrysanthemum tea, and chrysanthemum crispy sweets. Everyone, eat slowly. You can eat until Big Sister Moon sleeps.”
“Who is Big Sister Moon?” Wenwen was puzzled.
“Grandma said that there’s a Big Sister Chang’e living on the moon.” Little Ah Yu simply told them the story of Chang’e flying to the moon.
The kids listened with interest.
Time passed unknowingly.
After the adults finished socializing, they had to lead the children home.
Little Ah Yu was originally a little sleepy, so Wang Chuanman picked her up and said with a smile, “Looks like our Ah Yu doesn’t want to open the gifts anymore.”
Little Ah Yu’s eyes widened.
“Ah, I forgot to open the gifts!”
Although everyone came to the Wang Family in the name of the Mid-Autumn Festival, most of them knew that they were going to celebrate Little Ah Yu’s birthday, so they more or less brought some gifts.
Especially the villagers. They had been living well recently, and the gifts they gave were no longer ordinary food. At the very least, there were small flower embroidered hairpins worth a few copper coins.
Little Ah Yu knew that she had to open the gifts for her birthday, but she had forgotten about it while playing with her friends. Now that she thought about it, she was naturally excited.
A huge pile of gifts was piled up in her small room.
As Little Ah Yu was already five years old, the adults discussed and made a small room for her so that she could learn to sleep on her own.
This was the first day Little Ah Yu was going to sleep alone, but the first thing she had to do was to open the gifts.
“Wow, there’s so much!” Little Ah Yu immediately looked like a dragon that had crawled into a treasure vault. Her entire body was glowing.
Just as Liu Shi was accompanying Little Ah Yu to open the gifts, Wang Wulang, who had been playing on the street for half a day, rushed back.
“Grandma, there’s an official looking for you outside!”
