His mother patted his head, and Ji Chen understood. He approached with a playful smile and held up the ice cream: “Mom, it’s all yours.”
“Get out of here.” Yu Tian said. “You little bastard.”
His mother was the most reliable!
Last time, a favorite basketball player played a game, and he wanted to go, but he couldn’t make it during the holiday break, so his mother called the teacher and asked for leave on his behalf.
The trade-off was that he got ten extra points on his next test.
As for his younger sister, his mother never put any pressure on her academics. If she did well on the test and won a prize, they celebrated; if she failed, they celebrated too, because his mother said victory and defeat were common in the military.
They grew up in such an extremely tolerant and loving environment, so they had a good attitude from childhood and were willing to talk about anything with their parents.
With his father’s confirmation, he could finally go home with peace of mind.
Yu Tian gave the chef a day off early, and now it was the three of them who ran the place.
The menu was prepared long ago, and it was all the dishes that the four of them liked to eat.
The first thing to do was the birthday cake. Baking a chiffon cake wasn’t difficult; Yu Tian had done it many times. Her cake wasn’t too big or too small, perfect for the four of them to share. After all, this was their family time alone, not some extravagant banquet, so Yu Tian didn’t want anything extravagant.
She cut the cake horizontally, spread a layer of strawberry jam on the bottom, and a layer of blueberry jam on the second layer.
She made both the strawberry and blueberry jams herself, to Ji Hefeng’s taste, without adding too much sugar.
Then, she used a toothpick to lightly mark the chiffon cake into three equal sections, each of which was assigned to a separate area.
Ji Tang’s claws reached for the light blue buttercream, but Ji Chen, unlike her, went straight for the red.
Yu Tian looked at the white in her hand and asked seriously, “Do you understand the consequences of doing this?”
Ji Chen waved his hand nonchalantly, “Mom, why are you taking it so seriously? We’re eating anyway. I think we should use red, because my Dad says I have a fiery temper!”
Yu Tian was amused: “Then go ahead.”
Ji Chen covered his area with the festive red and smoothed it out with a scraper. This guy was quite amusing when he was serious. Even though he was spouting nonsense, beads of sweat were already forming on his forehead.
He even found a set of stick figures and drew two pairs of boxing gloves in white buttercream, just like the ones in the set. It symbolized the friendship between men!
Ji Tang covered her own area with light blue buttercream, adding green grass and red flowers. Since the space was so small, she had limited room to create. After a moment’s thought, she looked at Yu Tian and said, “Mom, can you lend me a spot?”
Yu Tian asked, “What are you going to do?”
Ji Tang gestured and said, “I want to draw four little figures, just those simple stick figures.”
So her mother generously gave her her area.
Ji Chen, seeing this, was not happy and said competitively, “I want some too!”
So Yu Tian simply ignored it and divided her area into two, letting them work on their own while she began preparing the main course.
She cut the prepared king oyster mushrooms and steak into small cubes, added them to the pan, and quickly stir-fried them with the seasonings from the recipe. The black pepper beef cubes were juicy, chewy, and fragrant.
Then she pulled the chicken wings that the chef had marinated earlier from the refrigerator, added a lemon slice, and placed them in the preheated oven. These were lemon-honey grilled wings.
