After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 347

Chapter 347: The Clumsy Mother and Daughter
After finishing the cake, Zhouzhou made another one, only to suddenly remember what she had forgotten. She turned to An Ya and asked, “Mom, when is Sharp Tongue Uncle’s birthday?”

“It’s the day after tomorrow, Monday,” An Ya replied.

Zhouzhou counted on her fingers. Since today is Saturday, that means tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, which makes the day after tomorrow Sharp Tongue Uncle’s birthday.

Time is tight indeed, considering she hasn’t learned how to make a cake yet.

Seeing her dilemma, An Ya rubbed her little head reassuringly. “It’s okay. We’ll make it together. Once I learn, I’ll take over.”

Zhouzhou pondered for a moment and shook her head. “I want to help too. I promised Sharp Tongue Uncle. If I don’t do anything and only let Mom do it, Sharp Tongue Uncle will be upset.”

Upon hearing this, An Ya’s eyes softened. She knew Zhouzhou still cared about Lingfeng, despite everything. That incorrigible tongue of his truly leaves one with no desire to relent.

“Alright then,” An Ya thought for a moment and said, “Zhouzhou, you go participate in the program first. Then, on Monday, I’ll take you out of school, and we’ll learn together. By the time we celebrate Lingfeng’s birthday in the evening, we’ll surely have learned.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up. It sounded like a plan!

Qin Bei envied them. “I also want to give Uncle Ye a birthday present. Is it okay?”

Qin Lie glanced at him, “Are you sure?”

Their relationship wasn’t that great. The idea of giving a birthday present was clearly an excuse to skip class together.

Caught in his gaze, Qin Bei shrunk his neck and dared not speak, his face filled with a pitiful expression.

How could his uncle have double standards? After all, Zhouzhou skips classes too. Moreover, isn’t he worried that Uncle Ye will take Zhouzhou away?

In fact, Qin Lie wasn’t worried at all. Although he might feel a bit jealous, he also knew it was only a matter of time. Moreover…

His gaze fell on An Ya, his eyes flickering slightly.

There wasn’t much time left until the date Zhouzhou had calculated for her reincarnation, just two days after Ye Lingfeng’s birthday.

An Ya also thought of this. She gently patted Zhouzhou’s head and said, “Zhouzhou, Mom will accompany you this time.”

She wanted to spend more time with her daughter.

“Mm-hmm!” Zhouzhou vigorously nodded and reached out to hug her.

The mother and daughter exchanged smiles and began making the cake again.

Zhouzhou handed An Ya a talisman, allowing her to have a physical form and touch the tools.

Looking at the cake she made, crooked and messy with ugly icing, Zhouzhou couldn’t help but fall silent, tilting her head in confusion. “Mom, didn’t you say you knew how to make it?”

An Ya’s face stiffened, and she muttered softly, “Knowing how with the eyes counts too, right?”

Zhouzhou rolled her eyes. Don’t bully her just because she hasn’t graduated from kindergarten; she’s not dumb!

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and the air grew quiet for a moment.

Qin Lie also fell silent, looking at the abstract cake, suddenly realizing whose artistic talent Zhouzhou inherited. Wasn’t this the root cause?

In the end, it was Zhouzhou who said, “It’s okay. Let’s make a few more; we’ll definitely learn.”

“Okay!” An Ya nodded vigorously. Her daughter was so considerate.

So, they ended up making an even uglier cake.

In the end, Zhouzhou’s little belly bulged, and she waved her hand, uttering for the first time in her life, “I can’t eat anymore.”

An Ya also burped and nodded in agreement, leaning against the chair without much dignity.

“Zhouzhou, how about we just go to the mall and buy something ready-made?”

Clumsy hands were acceptable, damaged stomachs weren’t.

But Zhouzhou didn’t want to give up. She stood up weakly, “I can still do it!”

This was Sharp Tongue Uncle’s last birthday celebrated by Mom, something money couldn’t buy.

Thinking this, Zhouzhou picked up the cake batter again.

The next moment, she leaned into Qin Lie’s arms, pitifully saying, “Daddy, my tummy hurts.”

She really couldn’t eat anymore!

Qin Lie raised his hand and rubbed her head gently. “It’s okay, there’s still time. Let’s learn again tomorrow. It’s getting late; let’s go back for now.”

Qin Nan and Qin Bei nodded repeatedly. Even Qin Feng, who had been silent the whole time, joined in, patting his stomach.

Their faces all wore a bitter expression; they couldn’t eat anymore. Zhouzhou’s hands were just too clumsy! They were worse than theirs!

Unaware of her brothers’ inner thoughts, Zhouzhou nodded at their words, waving her chubby paw excitedly. “We’ll try again tomorrow!”

“Let’s go.” With that, she immediately grabbed Qin Lie’s hand and headed out.

She suddenly felt like she didn’t want to eat cake anymore during this time.

An Ya ran faster than her; she already had a shadow over her.

At that moment, Ye Lingfeng was waiting for them in the living room. Upon hearing their voices, he stepped out quickly, smiling, “What present did you prepare for me? You’re back so late.”

It must be a big one!

Unexpectedly, upon hearing his question, Zhouzhou and An Ya exchanged a glance, silently agreeing not to bring up the topic.

Unable to bear it, Zhouzhou dashed into the house with short legs, and An Ya quickly followed.

Ye Lingfeng’s smile froze on his face, looking bewildered as he watched them. What was going on? Did they don’t love him anymore?

He turned to Qin Lie, a suspicious look in his eyes. “What did you do? Did you badmouth me?”

Qin Lie glanced at him and ignored him, stepping into the house.

Ye Lingfeng stood there, frowning in frustration. It must be his doing!

Inside the room, Zhouzhou and An Ya collapsed on the bed together. Zhouzhou said, “Mom, actually, I think your suggestion is good. We can change the gift.”

An Ya nodded. “What should we change it to?”

After some thought, Zhouzhou suddenly sat up excitedly. “Fourth Brother taught me carving. I’ll give Sharp Tongue Uncle a wooden carving!”

She hadn’t expected Zhouzhou to have this skill. An Ya also became interested. “Sounds good.”

Without hesitation, Zhouzhou jumped off the bed, ran to the closet, and pulled out the large bundle she had brought down from the mountain.

She rummaged through it, finally pulling out her tools: a piece of wood and a set of knives.

An Ya floated over to take a look. It was boxwood, the best material for wood carving, and the knives were complete. It seemed that Zhouzhou was quite skilled at wood carving.

Zhouzhou felt the same. She sat confidently on the floor, her chubby legs crossed. “I’ll carve a statue of Mom to give to Sharp Tongue Uncle!”

An Ya nodded, cooperating as the model with eager anticipation on her face.

Zhouzhou sat up straight, occasionally glancing at her with seriousness evident on her chubby face. An Ya nodded in her heart. That expression was just right!

An hour passed quickly.

An Ya was tired of sitting, and finally, Zhouzhou declared, “Done!”

Upon hearing this, An Ya’s spirits lifted, and she hurried over. However, when she saw the figure on the wood, her smile froze on her face. Was that supposed to be her?

Zhouzhou, still confident, said, “What do you think? Looks like Mom, right? We can look at this whenever we miss Mom in the future!”

An Ya: “…”

Maybe it’s better not to think about her after all!
