Father Shen had a kind smile on his face, which made Luo Xin relax.

"What delicious food are you making?" He looked at the steamer on the stove and asked with a smile.

"It's purple potato and yam cake," Luo Xin explained, "my sister and I made it together. She went out just now and will be back later."

"That's it," Father Shen nodded.

While the two were talking, the steam coming out of the gaps around the lid of the steamer became more and more intense, and it seemed that it was ready to be cooked.

Because of Shen Mingshu's order, Luo Xin didn't come forward, the cook skillfully put the purple sweet potato and yam cake on a small plate, the purple was sandwiched with white, the color was clean and pure, and the pattern on it was even more delicate.

Father Shen looked at the appearance, and nodded in satisfaction, "It's well done, it would be even better with some sweet-scented osmanthus honey."

Luo Xin let out a little surprise, and said in surprise, "Mother said that too before."

Hearing what she said, Shen's father showed emotion and complicated expression on his face, and said with a smile: "I studied art at your grandfather's house in the early years, and I also learned this way. The master studied it for your mother in autumn. This snack."

It was the first time for Luo Xin to hear these old stories. Before she could remember, her grandfather went there. She only knew that he was a very interesting person who could make all kinds of exquisite and delicious snacks, but when her mother talked about her grandfather, she always felt uncomfortable. , over time it will no longer be mentioned.

Seeing that Luo Xin was interested in these things, Shen's father talked to her about some old things, recalling the days in the capital. Although there were many hardships at that time, the memories were also sweet.

The cook poured light gold and rich sweet-scented osmanthus honey on the purple potato and yam cake, and the golden honey with finely chopped sweet-scented osmanthus set off the clean purple and white, quite beautiful.

When they were cooling off, the two began chatting casually. Father Shen usually chatted with Shen Fu a few more words, originally to chat with Luo Xin, but seeing her listen carefully, it was rare for him to become interested. A little chatting with a smile on the face.

While talking, she talked about Shen Mingshu's body. Luo Xin listened to Shen's father talking about her sister's childhood with bright eyes, and seriously remembered it in her heart. It turned out that her sister was like this when she was young.

Father Shen smiled emotionally, and said, "Ming Shu is really not easy. We all owe her a lot. We only hope that she can live happily."

Father Shen lost his mind for a while, seeing that Luo Xin was still listening seriously, he smiled and said, "Taste the purple sweet potato and yam cake, let it cool down later."

Luo Xin glanced at the door hesitantly. Shen Mingshu hadn't returned yet, so she was a little disappointed. I made it with my sister, and I felt a little regretful if I couldn't eat it together.

Seeing her like this, Father Shen shook his head and said with a smile, "You, you like Mingshu too much."

Luo Xin nodded seriously, with the corners of her lips slightly raised, and said bluntly, "I like it, my sister is very good."

When Shen Mingshu walked to the door, when he heard such a sentence, his footsteps stopped, a slight ripple appeared in his heart, and he stopped for a moment.

When the servant came back from the outside, he saw Shen Mingshu and hurriedly saluted. Only then did Shen Mingshu regain his senses and stepped into the kitchen.

When Luo Xin heard the sound at the door, she turned around happily and greeted Shen Mingshu with a smile, "Sister, you are back, try it!"

Seeing that Father Shen was also there, Shen Mingshu bowed and saluted him, Father Shen nodded kindly with a smile, "Sit down, girl Xin is waiting for you to come back, this honest child won't eat until you come back."

Shen Mingshu smiled, and sat down beside Luo Xin, "Father will try it too."

After washing her hands, she picked up a purple potato yam cake and handed it to Luo Xin, with a gentle look in her eyes, she said in a low voice, "Try one first."

Luo Xin took it obediently, and took a bite. The aroma of purple sweet potato and yam was strong and distinct, with a touch of sweetness. She savored it carefully, with some subtle expressions on her face.

"What's wrong? The smell isn't right?" Shen Mingshu noticed the change in her expression and asked softly.

With doubts on her face, Luo Xin said hesitantly, "It's not the same as mother's, it seems sweeter."

They did cook according to the recipe. If the proportions were correct, there would be no problem with different levels of sweetness. Shen Mingshu recalled the process just now, and did not find any problems.

Father Shen pondered for a moment, and asked the cook to bring some of the ingredients that he had just used. He glanced at it roughly, and after a while, he laughed, and pointed to the bag of brown sugar, "The problem lies in this brown sugar. The one used in Yangzhou is different, the south likes sweetness, even the brown sugar is a bit sweeter, if you want the original taste, just add a spoonful of brown sugar.”

Luo Xin suddenly realized, nodded and said, "This is also delicious, I'm just a little confused."

Father Shen smiled and said, "I didn't even notice the difference. Girl Luo Xin has a really sharp tongue." Just like her grandfather, she was born to be a cook, but he didn't say the latter part. .

When talking to Luo Xin just now, he also knew a lot about her experience. This child has already suffered so much at such a young age, what he wants to do in the future, he should do as the child pleases.

It was the first time for Luo Xin to be praised so much. She blushed and said thank you, and then slightly pulled Shen Mingshu's hanging sleeves, as if she wanted to hide behind her.

Shen Mingshu smiled, stroked the top of her hair, and boasted, "Xin'er is so amazing."

Now Luo Xin blushed even more. This was the first time that her sister called her that. After being called out by her sister, she felt that the name sounded better, and her ears felt hot when she heard it.

Shen's father laughed out loud. Ming Shu was too mature, and he was more relaxed when he was with Luo Xin. It seems that it is a good thing for these two children to be together.

He was in such a happy mood, and said with a smile: "If girl Luo Xin is fine staying in this house, let Ming Shu take her around, look at the mountains and rivers of Yangzhou, and taste the dim sum here." , he paused, his brows relaxed slightly, and he said to Shen Mingshu: "Remember to take girl Luo Xin to Xuandong Building when you have time."

Shen Mingshu's expression moved slightly, he raised his eyes to look over, met Father Shen's eyes, Father Shen looked at her gently, Shen Mingshu raised the corners of his lips slightly, and nodded, "Okay, I remember."

Luo Xin didn't know where the Xuandong Building they were talking about was, but her sister would take her there later, so she didn't have to think about it, she sat quietly by the side and listened carefully to what they said.

The three were talking and laughing, and after a while, Shen Qingyue and Shen Qingjia rushed over after hearing the news, sitting around the small table in the kitchen, eating purple potato and yam cake happily.

Father Shen looked at the family sitting together, his chest was warm, and he thought of his wife again, but he was not sad, just nostalgic.

Shen Fu was waiting on the sidelines, and he was very happy to see such a scene. He had been in the Shen family for so many years, and he hoped that the Shen family could continue to be happy with each other.

The whole family had dinner together, and Shen's father was getting older, so he was in high spirits in the afternoon, but in the evening he was a little bit down, so he went back to his room early to rest.

The rest of the people also went back to their rooms. Luo Xin noticed that Shen Qingyue was distracted just now during the dinner, but it was not easy to ask questions during the dinner, so she could only bear to ask Shen Mingshu after the dinner.

"Missed?" Shen Mingshu was taken aback for a moment, remembering that Shen Qingyue seemed a little silent just now, laughed, and said, "It's okay, she was thinking about some people, she was in a bad mood, and she will be fine in a few days."

"That's it." Luo Xin nodded half-understood, and saw Shen Mingshu took off his coat in front of her, walked inside behind the screen, and took off the rest of his clothes.

Hot water has been prepared behind the screen. Through the candlelight, Luo Xin can see a blurry figure through the screen. For some reason, her chest feels suffocated, and her cheeks are slightly hot. She thinks that the room is too stuffy without the windows open. .

After Shen Mingshu came out of the shower, Luo Xin was already lying on the bed and was about to fall asleep. Seeing Shen Mingshu coming, she moved in, and when she came in, she snuggled up again.

The quilt was warm, and the person next to him was also warm and soft, and the skin was pressed against the thin underwear, warming his heart all the way.Shen Mingshu smiled softly, adjusted his posture slightly, and embraced him in his arms.

Luo Xin opened her eyes in a daze, looked up at her in a daze, Shen Mingshu said softly, "Go to sleep."

Luo Xin rubbed against her neck, and asked sleepily, "Sister, I forgot to ask you something this afternoon."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Do you think the purple potato yam cake we made together is delicious?"

Shen Mingshu didn't expect Luo Xin to still remember this matter, so he smiled softly, "It's delicious, I like it very much."

"That's good." Luo Xin smiled softly, and after a moment of silence, asked in a low voice: "Sister, did you call me Xin'er this afternoon?"

Shen Mingshu was stunned for a moment, a slight blush appeared on her face, which seemed to be an illusion reflected by the candlelight, she cleared her cough, "Well, if you don't like it, I won't call you that."

Luo Xin quickly raised her head and said hastily, "I like it, it's good for my sister to call me that."

The two looked at each other, and Shen Mingshu's eyes were gradually stained with a smile, and he said softly, "Okay."

Luo Xin couldn't hide her flushed cheeks just now.Looking at Shen Mingshu with erratic eyes, he couldn't help laughing secretly.

Shen Mingshu touched her flushed cheeks, and said with a smile, "Lie down and sleep."

Luo Xin lay down next to her again, leaned against her and closed her eyes, pretending that she had fallen asleep, but after a busy afternoon, she was also tired, leaning against her familiar embrace, she really fell asleep after a while.

Shen Mingshu gently hugged her, but her eyes were full of clarity. She always knew what she was doing and what she was going to do, but now she suddenly realized that there might be some things beyond her expectation, but she didn't know Is it good or bad.
