Chapter 32: Half-opened Goldfinger
Tong Huaqiong woke up slowly and it was already dawn.
The sunlight shines through the thin window paper, illuminating the room.
Tong Huaqiong felt a little heavy.
She had a very long dream at night. In the dream, she and Maner kept moving things together. She was exhausted after working all night.
She smiled bitterly and shook her head.
It is true that what you think about during the day you will dream about at night. I must have hoped during the day that I could have inexhaustible space like those lucky time-traveling girls, so I had such dreams at night.
"Grandma, you're awake." Man'er had woken up a long time ago and was sitting at the end of the bed, looking at Tong Huaqiong with a confused look on her face.
Tong Huaqiong touched her face.
"Grandma, look at the things you asked me to move last night. They are all hidden here." Maner said, pointing under the quilt.
When Tong Huaqiong heard Maner say this, she lifted the quilt without hesitation.
God!
She almost fainted from the shock of the surprise.
Under the quilt were all the things she saw in her room.
She carefully picked around and found butter, powdered sugar, chestnut powder, bean paste, lard, condensed milk... and a can of milk powder.
Tong Huaqiong held her breath.
What's happening here?
In the dream, the things in her room could only be looked at but not taken away, so how could they appear on her bed now?
Tong Huaqiong couldn't help but look at Maner.
"Maner, what's the matter with these things?" Tong Huaqiong asked.
Man'er tilted her head and hushed, saying, "Grandma, you forgot, you took me out of a beautiful house, and you told me not to tell anyone else."
"That's why I keep them all under the covers."
Tong Huaqiong tried hard to recall.
In her dream, when she saw Maner being able to take things out of the refrigerator, she was extremely excited and pointed at the things in the refrigerator and asked Maner to take them out.
She also discovered that Maner could not only take things out of the refrigerator, but also take them out of the room and take them to Gu's house.
That whole night, she directed Maner to move things.
She thought she was dreaming, but it turned out that it was not a dream.
Tong Huaqiong wanted to laugh out loud.
The young girl was reincarnated as a vicious mother-in-law and widow. Her family was extremely poor and she had a bunch of burdens. People thought she didn't have any aura of the protagonist, but unexpectedly, she also had the standard golden finger of a woman who traveled through time.
God has been kind to her!
She wanted to laugh out loud.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Maner felt that her grandmother's smile was very strange, and she was scared.
"It's nothing, Maner, you did a great job."
Tong Huaqiong's face twitched from laughing.
She soon understood that both she and Maner could enter the space she was in, but only Maner could take out the things inside.
Thinking of this, she felt that God was not very kind to her.
Just turn on the cheat code, why is it only half turned on?
But no matter what, even half of the golden fingers are much better than starting with nothing.
"Maner, you've worked hard." Tong Huaqiong touched Maner's little hand.
Maner had been carrying things for most of the night, and her little hands were a little red. Tong Huaqiong felt a little distressed.
"Man'er is not tired." Man'er shook her head and said.
Tong Huaqiong thought for a moment and asked Man'er kindly, "Man'er, tell grandma how you got into that beautiful house?"
Maner tilted her head and said, "I just saw grandma go in, so I followed her in."
It's the same sentence over and over again.
Tong Huaqiong knew that she couldn't get anything out of him, and Man'er probably didn't even know how she got in.
She still wanted to figure out the pattern, but it seemed that it wasn't so easy to figure out.
Never mind that for now. Anyway, what Maner took out was enough for her to show off her skills in the pastry world.
"Maner, that room full of things is our secret, you can't tell anyone." Tong Huaqiong said to Maner with a serious face.
Maner nodded. Her grandmother had emphasized this many times.
"You can't even tell your mother, understand?" Tong Huaqiong said.
"I didn't even tell my mother. Man'er is very tight-lipped."
After saying this, Maner covered her mouth, and her serious little face made Tong Huaqiong fall in love with her in such a cute way.
"Grandma, you have to believe Maner!"
"Grandma believes in Maner."
After making Man'er laugh, Tong Huaqiong covered the things on the bed tightly with a quilt.
In fact, she was not afraid of being exposed. After all, only she, Chen Sufen, Liu Yue'e and Gu Taohua were there when making pastries. She was not worried that these three people would know the existence of these things.
As long as she showed her evil nature, they dared not ask or tell anyone.
Thinking of this, Tong Huaqiong got up and dressed, and helped Maner put on her clothes.
"Mom, are you awake?" It was Liu Yue'e knocking on the door.
"Get up." Tong Huaqiong carried Man'er out of bed.
The door opened and Liu Yue'e came in with water for washing her face.
The sun really rose from the west. Usually it was Chen Sufen who served her, but today it was Liu Yue'e who took the initiative to serve her.
Ever since Tong Huaqiong showed her fifty taels of silver yesterday, Liu Yue'e decided to follow her mother-in-law's lead.
I stood guard at the door of my mother-in-law's room before dawn.
Hearing the noise coming from the room, he quickly fetched water for washing face and hurriedly helped Tong Huaqiong wash up.
She was afraid that she would anger her mother-in-law in the next two days. What if her mother-in-law changed her mind and was unwilling to pay fifty taels of silver? That would be a disaster.
After all, ever since my mother-in-law fainted once, she has become more casual. There is no pattern to when she loses her temper and who she loses her temper with.
"Man'er slept with mother?"
Liu Yue'e was stunned when she saw Man'er.
Wow, Maner has now become the most beloved person in my mother-in-law's heart.
Thinking of her family's glory, Liu Yue'e felt jealous.
"What's wrong? It's not possible?" Tong Huaqiong imitated Tong Dajiao's unhappy tone.
"No, no. Man'er is our darling girl, and she should be loved more." Liu Yue'e said flatteringly.
"Do I need you to teach me? Put away your little thoughts." Tong Huaqiong said unhappily.
Liu Yue'e pursed her lips, tested the water temperature, and then asked Tong Huaqiong to wash up.
You know what, it feels really good to be served by someone. No wonder women in this era all want to become housewives.
Tong Huaqiong washed Maner's face first, and then washed her own face comfortably.
"You are so thoughtful." Tong Huaqiong said as she took the face towel handed to her by Liu Yue'e.
Liu Yue'e breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her mother-in-law was in a good mood.
"Mother, Dashu went to my elder sister's place early in the morning." Liu Yue'e said, and after thinking for a moment, she continued, "She also carried a bundle of rattan."
Oh, this is another scene of asking for forgiveness by carrying a thorn stick on one's back.
Tong Huaqiong nodded, then took Maner out of the room.
Chen Sufen had already prepared breakfast. Seeing Tong Huaqiong coming out holding Man'er's hand, she smiled and said, "Man'er is the same. She insisted on sleeping with her milk yesterday and I couldn't stop her. Man'er, did you churn the milk so that she didn't sleep well?"
Tong Huaqiong said: "I sleep very soundly with Man'er accompanying me. I think it would be better if Man'er always sleeps with me in the future."
It’s just right for two people to enter the space and move things.
When Chen Sufen heard her mother-in-law say this, she was flattered.
What does this mean?
It means that Maner has completely won the favor of her mother-in-law.
Maner's position in this family will be stable from now on.
"Mom, breakfast is ready. Serve it right away."
Chen Sufen's voice was filled with joy as she walked into the kitchen to serve the meal.
Liu Yue'e saw Yao Zu peeking out the door and said to him with a sour heart, "Didn't you say in the morning that you wanted to thank grandma for letting you stay at home? Why don't you dare to talk to grandma?"
As he spoke, he pulled Yaozu in front of Tong Huaqiong.
Tong Huaqiong knew Liu Yue'e's little thoughts but did not expose them.
Anyway, it feels good to be flattered and fawned upon.
