For a moment, the cries of children could be heard throughout the entire Stone Bridge Village.
Zhao Xiaojuan held the cake, momentarily dumbfounded. She had saved it from her own share for Zhaodi, but now with so many children wanting some, she was caught in a dilemma between giving it or not giving it.
Seeing the situation, the village chief quickly spoke to Zhao Xiaojuan, who looked troubled, "Changhe's wife, you better go back first. That bit of cake isn't enough to go around anyway. Just take it back for Zhaodi to eat."
Upon hearing the village chief speak, Zhao Xiaojuan hurried home with the cake.
Once at home, Zhao Xiaojuan proudly presented the cake to Zhaodi, saying happily, "Zhaodi, look, this is the birthday cake Mianmian made herself. It's said to be what foreigners eat, it's so delicious! I brought a piece back for you, try it quick."
