Chapter 405
Naturally, Li Mei'er would not refuse his brother's small request, and made him a big two-layer cake with great care, and put a lot of fruits on it, which looked very delicious just by looking at it.

The cake is ready, but unfortunately how to take it to the school is also a big problem. The cake is very delicate, and the whole thing will be destroyed if it is touched a little. Jiang Shanqing helped to find a way to make a cake box out of a wooden box. Then let the two strongest helpers in Jiang's shop carefully help Brother Kang carry the cake to the school.

The cake brought by Kang Geer was a real sensation in the school. Because Kang Geer was already popular in school, the elementary school students celebrated his birthday lively, which was much more lively than at home. Fortunately, the cake Li Meier made was big enough so that everyone could get a piece.

Brother Kang left the biggest and best piece for his wife in the school, Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu had some criticisms because he celebrated his birthday with great fanfare in the school, but for the sake of the cake, he turned a blind eye. Besides, Kang Geer can be regarded as one of his favorite disciples, and his homework is top-notch on weekdays, so he will be more tolerant.

Brother Kang saw that his classmates were eating the cake made by his sister with relish, and he was very happy. Hearing everyone's compliments on his sister, he became more and more proud. He thought that when he was born next year, he would ask his sister to make it for him again. A bigger cake.

Brother Kang looked around the crowd, and suddenly found that there seemed to be one person who didn't come to eat the cake, so he asked a familiar elementary school student beside him, "Where is Ah Fa, why didn't you see him come to eat the cake?"

The man shook his head blankly, and replied: "I didn't notice, didn't he come?" Then he said indifferently, "Ari, what do you care about him, he is poor and can't talk, Coming here makes everyone unhappy."

Brother Kang was silent. He knew that Liu Fa was not very popular in the school, and because of his poor family, he was looked down upon by many people. Although it was not to the extent of being bullied, there was indeed no one who made friends with him, even Brother Kang himself. Take care of him a little on weekdays. After all, he is busy with his studies, and it is impossible for him to pay attention to others all day long.

"I'll go look for him. It's my birthday today, and I want everyone to eat a piece of my cake." Brother Kang said with a smile, then cut a piece of cake and went to find Liu Fa.

The school is not big, and Brother Kang quickly found Liu Fa under a big tree in the backyard. It was time for lunch, and Liu Fa was sitting under the tree, eating steamed buns and pickles from home.

"I finally found you. It's my birthday today, why didn't you come to my place to eat cake?" Brother Kang said to Liu Fa with a smile.

Liu Fa was a little flustered, and hurriedly hid the steamed buns in his hands behind his back, got up and waved to Kang Geer: "No, you can eat it yourself, don't worry about me."

Brother Kang didn't care what Liu Fa said, and stuffed the small bowl containing the cake into Liu Fa's hand, "Try it, my sister made it, it's delicious, and you can't eat it outside."

Liu Fa took the cake at a loss, looked at Brother Kang with some embarrassment, and finally said with a blushing face, "Thank you."

"You can go back after eating in a while, or the husband should find someone." Brother Kang smiled and patted Liu Fa on the shoulder before turning around and leaving.

Liu Fa, however, stood still and did not move. When Kang Geer was gone, he picked up the cake in his hand, dipped some cream in it, and put it in his mouth carefully. It was so sweet, better than everything he had eaten before. Eat, he took a bite, and he didn't want to eat any more. He was going to take it back to give his mother and sister a taste.

When school was over, Liu Fa silently packed his things, only to find that Brother Kang was standing in front of him again at some point.

He handed over a snack box and said with a smile, "You take this back for Aunt Wei and Sister Yaya to eat."

Liu Fa subconsciously waved his hand and refused, "No, no..."

"I specially left this for Aunt Wei and Sister Yaya. Why are you refusing it? Now that Sister Yaya is married to Brother Ding Yi, she is considered half of our family. You don't have to be so polite." Brother Kang Er forcefully stuffed the food box into Liu Fa's hand and said.

Liu Fa didn't refuse, but blushed and said thank you several times.

"Don't look out like this. Uncle Chen Pi was kind to my family at the beginning, and we are classmates, so we should be so close. If you have anything to do in school, you can come to me. As long as I can help, I will definitely help. You." Kang Geer said boldly, patting his chest.

Liu Fa was moved in his heart, nodded in agreement, and watched Kang Geer leave, still thinking silently in his heart: The Li family is really a kind person, they are so kind from top to bottom, if Brother Shanqing hadn't helped him back then, He can't study now, and now that Ari is taking care of him like this, he must study hard and repay their family in the future.

After Kang'er's birthday passed, it was almost the twelfth lunar month, and this winter was colder earlier than in previous years. Mrs. Jiang discussed with Mrs. Li, "It's getting colder and colder, and the bamboo charcoal for winter has been delivered. Looking at it, it is better than in previous years. It is cold, mother should have set up the charcoal basin earlier, or if you don’t know, please do so. There are many children in the family, and my brother has to study on weekdays. The weather is too cold. It’s cold, and the ink will freeze.”

Mrs. Li didn't want to. In the past years, she only burned charcoal in the twelfth lunar month. When Jiang said that her grandson was studying, she said, "That's good. This year is colder than usual. But the charcoal is enough. Not enough? In other years, we have never had a fever so early."

Jiang smiled, "Don't worry, mother, I'll do enough. Even if it's not enough, we have some friendship with the charcoal seller, but it's not enough. I'll make up for it when the time comes, it's the same."

Mrs. Li nodded, "The kang is also on fire. In the morning when I burn the kang in my room, girls come to my room whether they are doing needlework or reading books. There are many people and it is warm. If you sleep on the kang, when do you sleep and burn it?" .”

Traditionally, there are many beds in Yin County, but the house of the Li family is equipped with a kang.For example, Mrs. Li's bedroom, in addition to the old canopy bed that she used to sleep in, has a small open kang next to the window.

Mrs. Li sleeps in bed in summer, and sleeps on a kang for a few days when it is too cold in winter.Sleeping for a long time is not enough, the kang is warm and warm, but it is too dry, Mrs. Li will get angry after sleeping for a few days.

Jiang smiled, "I still feel that the bed is comfortable, and I don't feel cold when I drink soup at night."

"You young people have strong firepower." Mrs. Li is very happy that her daughter-in-law does not need to burn the kang, which can save a lot of bamboo charcoal.
