Qin Mei took it. The last time the second aunt's daughter-in-law offered her some sponge cake, her mind was set on eating a proper meal, and she couldn't even remember what excuse she'd used to turn it down.
To be honest, she didn't dare eat anything Aunt Zhang cooked.
Under Jie Jingshan's expectant gaze, Qin Mei took a bite. The sponge cake from this era was genuinely delicious. "This is good."
"Fourth Sister-in-law, if you like it, have some more." Jie Jingshan pushed all the sponge cake toward Qin Mei. Worried she might choke, she used her own enamel mug to mix half a cup of milk powder for her. "Fourth Sister-in-law, drink up so you don't choke."
Qin Mei paused, her expression complex as she chewed the cake and looked at Jie Jingshan. There was also a hint of relief.
Seeing Qin Mei hesitate, Jie Jingshan misinterpreted her expression. She looked awkward, her hands stiff as she held out the enamel mug. "Fourth Sister-in-law, I forgot… this is my mug."
