Chapter 259: Erqing Has a Fever
Yesterday evening, I was so busy talking to a few children that I forgot to bring out the little cakes for them to eat. It wasn’t until this morning when they went to school that she took them out, giving each a red velvet cake and packing one into a box for each of them.
"This box of little cakes is for your Teacher Zheng, your mom specifically took it for her. If she asks where it came from, you all just say you don’t know. Mingyang and Mingliang, if you can’t finish, you can share with your mates. Ming Fang, you can share with Daya, don’t waste it."
"Wow, it smells so good, I want to eat it now."
"It’s sweet, I want to take a bite."
Ming Kai watched his brother and sister each with a lunch box, himself without one, fussing and stomping on the spot, crying out that he wanted a bite too.
"Alright, alright, you deal with it yourselves, there’s still more at home. Ming Kai, don’t fight over it; your mom has saved some for you."
Mingyang, Mingliang, and Ming Fang, the three children, took their little forks and dug a big bite into their mouths. Ming Fang, usually taught by Shen Meng to be elegant and clean, also took a big bite at that moment, her little mouth smeared all over with cream.
"Be sneaky, don’t let others see."
Shen Meng couldn’t help but remind them again as they were leaving. If Lu Zhenping were home, she would never have taken these treats out. Just as she was about to close the door and enter the house, Daqing suddenly called out to her.
Shen Meng paused in her steps, thought for a moment, and then turned around.
