Chapter 867 Give Them Gifts
"Not yet. The milk powder is still a little hot after it was made. I plan to give it to Xiang Xiang after it cools down a bit."
"Okay, I'll hold the child. You've been taking care of him all day and you must be hungry. Why don't you go have breakfast first and I'll watch the child for you. That way, when you're done, I can take over. I just woke up and don't have an appetite anyway."
"Okay, Aunt Zhou, I'll go over first."
"Go ahead. I'll feed Xiang Xiang later. Don't worry."
When Jiang Mubai came back from breakfast, Zhou Xiaoying had already fed Xiangxiang and was now holding him and walking in the living room.
"Auntie Zhou, I'm done. Give me the child and you can have breakfast instead."
"it is good."
The weather outside was average today. Although it was bright, there was no sun at all. Jiang Mubai had originally planned to take Xiangxiang for a walk in the yard after eating, but the wind started to blow and she was afraid that the child would catch a cold, so she did not take the child out. Instead, she came to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the scenery outside.
When Zhou Xiaoying came back after breakfast, Jiang Mubai was still wandering in front of the window with Xiang Xiang in his arms. Zhou Xiaoying saw him and walked over, thinking that Jiang Mubai wanted to go out.
"What are you looking at outside for? Do you want to take Xiang Xiang out for a walk? Let's go out. I've finished my breakfast, too."
"I see it's a bit windy outside. If she catches a cold while she's still so young, that would be bad."
"It's okay. There's no need to be so cautious. It's windy outside so we just need to wrap ourselves up tightly. I see that you really want to go out, Mu Bai. How about I go upstairs and get something to cover the child?"
"Forget it. I don't really want to go out. My health is more important. I can't bear to see him get sick because of me. Otherwise, I will blame myself to death."
"As expected, when a mother encounters something, the first thing she thinks about is her children. If you don't want to go out, then we won't go out. I just want to show you the things I brought back from home. I came back too late last night and I didn't tell you about this because I was afraid you guys would fall asleep. Now that we've had breakfast, everyone is here so it's a good time to distribute the things. Come on, Mu Bai, don't stand there. Bring Xiang Xiang over and sit on the sofa."
"Auntie Zhou, why are you still so mysterious? What did you bring back to the villa?"
"Just sit down first. I'll get the stuff from the storage room and you'll see. It's nothing special."
Without Chen Qi's help, Zhou Xiaoying had to make two trips by herself to take out all the things that she had put in the storage room last night.
"These are dried fruits that I made at home. I brought them here especially for you, Mubai, to try. Yesterday, my family felt embarrassed when they saw you prepared so many things for us. They wanted to give us gifts in return, so they prepared these casually. I hope you, Mubai, don't mind."
"How could I dislike it? I'm so happy! This is something Aunt Zhou's family personally sent to you. It's much more friendly. The things we sent to you were not bought by ourselves."
"How can you say that? Any of the things you gave us are many times more expensive than all the dried fruits I have here. It doesn't matter if they were not selected by the thief. Your opinion will not be reduced because of this, okay?"
"Okay, Aunt Zhou, please open it and see what's inside. I really like eating these things. If I hadn't been feeding Xiang Xiang and didn't dare to eat anything outside, I wouldn't be so greedy."
"Then I think it's a good idea to bring this thing back. There are at least six or seven kinds of fruits in it, including dried apples and dried peaches. Mu Bai, take a look at the ones you want to eat. They are all dried by our family members. We do all the processes ourselves. We don't add anything. You can just enjoy the original flavor of the fruit. Mu Bai, you can eat it with confidence."
"That's good. Which of these dried fruits are delicious? Aunt Zhou, do you have any recommendations?"
"They all taste pretty good. It depends on what kind of fruit you like. They may not be as delicious as the ones you buy outside, but they are definitely healthy. I can guarantee you that."
"I believe what you said, Aunt Zhou."
"I'll take some out for you to taste and see which one you like better."
"Okay, don't take too much. I just finished breakfast not long ago. Let's just taste it."
Jiang Mubai tasted every kind of dried fruit Zhou Xiaoying brought back, and finally she found that she liked the apples the most. "It tastes very good. In my opinion, it is not even inferior to the ones bought outside, and it is cleaner and safer than outside, which makes it even more worth it in my heart. Especially this apple is so delicious and I like it very much."
"That's good. Dried apples are the most of what I brought back. If you like them, I'll leave them all for you. You can't eat all the apples on the apple tree. One tree can bear two to three hundred fruits. I have a lot of apple trees at home. If Mu Bai likes to eat them, you can have as many as you want in the future. Next time I call home, I'll ask them to dry some more apples for you to eat."
Jiang Mubai really liked it, so after hearing what Zhou Xiaoying said, she stopped being polite with her. Zhou Xiaoying knew that Jiang Mubai really liked it, so she thought that she should ask her family to prepare more when the time comes, after all, Jiang Mubai liked their family’s dried apples so much.
"Thank you Aunt Zhou for bringing me some dried fruits from home."
"You're welcome. As long as you like it, Mu Bai, I'll be satisfied."
"I like it. I like it very much. If this big bag is all for me, then what are the other two bags in?"
Jiang Mubai saw Zhou Xiaoying took out all the things so he asked curiously.
"It's also dried fruit. I brought some not only for you but also for everyone else in the villa. These were packed at home. Everyone in the villa has prepared some of each fruit. The ones I gave you were the ones left after the distribution. They asked me to take them all back because they were afraid you would like to eat them. Now it seems that I listened to them. The most of the leftovers are apples, which just makes up for the fact that you like dried apples the most."
"Yes, I am so lucky."
"While we still have time, Mu Bai, I'm going to distribute these things to them first. Just think about holding them for a while and then switching back when I come back."
"Auntie Zhou, you go."
Zhou Xiaoying carried two large bags of things to the kitchen. At this time, the servants in the villa were all eating inside, so if Zhou Xiaoying went there now, the timing would be just right.
The dried fruits Zhou Xiaoying brought back received unanimous praise from everyone. She was very happy to see that everyone really liked them.
The butler had received the dried fruits last night, so he came out of the restaurant directly after eating.
"Uncle Chen, Aunt Zhou is distributing dried fruits to you. Why don't you just come out without taking any? I tell you they taste really good, don't miss it."
"She gave me my share last night, but I haven't tasted it yet. From what you said, the dried fruits should be delicious."
"Yes, this big bag is what Aunt Zhou left for me because she saw that I like to eat them. Uncle Chen, can you go to the kitchen and find a small jar for me to take out these dried fruits and put them in it and put them on the table? This way, I can take them out and eat them whenever I want."
"Okay."
There are so many kinds of fruits, it is impossible to put each kind in a small jar, otherwise the table would be full of dried fruits.
