A few more days passed, Brother Shen's matter was barely settled, and Alan was about to leave again.
Aunt Shen's stomach is already obvious, and occasionally seeing two people cuddling together, Alan touched Aunt Shen's stomach, looking extremely reluctant.
Everyone unanimously gave the space to the two of them with eyes. When parting, the atmosphere was still a little depressing.
Then on the second day after Lin Shuyi arrived in City H, Alan packed up all the salutes and boarded the plane to Los Angeles.
Everyone accompanied Aunt Shen to see him off. Alan stretched out his arms to embrace Aunt Shen and bowed to Mama Shen, saying in Chinese with a perfect accent, "Please trouble sister to take care of Shiman."
"Don't worry, we'll take care of her."
Alan nodded. In fact, he knew that Aunt Shen would be taken care of better if she gave birth in the Shen family. He lowered his head to look at his wife.
Aunt Shen's eyes were a little red, and Alan gently kissed the corners of her eyes.
"Hey, take care of yourself, I'll be back soon."
Alan didn't stay there all the time when he came to Los Angeles this time, because his company has important work that requires him to be there, so he needs to go back to Los Angeles to stay for a few months, and when the matter is resolved, he will come back as soon as possible.
Aunt Shen nodded, and the gentle female voice was already reminding to board the plane. Alan finally kissed Aunt Shen's face, then waved his hand while everyone was watching, turned around and went to the boarding gate to board the plane.
Shen's mother stepped forward to hug Aunt Shen's shoulders, but she didn't comfort her, but Aunt Shen turned her head and said, "Let's go, go back."
It is true that she is a little sad, but there is no need for everyone to accompany her, let alone Lin Shuyi has two children with her.
Tao Tao had been very happy on the way here, but now she was tired after looking around, she was hugged by Shen Fu, and the little face sleeping on his shoulder was flushed.
Xiaoyu was held by Lin Shuyi, seeing Alan was gone, she went forward to hold Aunt Shen's hand.
"Grandma, don't be sad, we will be with you when grandpa is away."
Aunt Shen was taken aback, she squatted down protecting her stomach, a smile slowly formed on the corner of her mouth, and patted Xiao Yu's head, "Then thank you Xiao Yu."
The family drove back again.
Ever since Mr. Shen agreed with Brother Shen and Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng ran to the Shen family every now and then, almost treating the Shen family as his own home. He just returned to China not long ago, and his domestic career has not yet fully stabilized. , and because of the Jiang family’s parents who have been unwilling to compromise, they are very busy every day. , Lamented that love really has the effect of nourishing people's hearts.
But in the end, he was busy. Jiang Cheng would not stay long every time he came back. He would be interrupted by various calls and had to leave.
Brother Shen seldom arrives late and leaves early recently, probably because after getting the approval of his family to meet casually, he stabilized, and Shen Fu's workload suddenly became much smaller.
For the rest of the time, I can spend with Lin Shuyi.
Lin Shuyi thought to himself, after Tang Shuang could completely take over Xiqin Restaurant, he would hand over the main management work of Xiqin Restaurant to him. more and more.
However, this does not mean that Lin Shuyi will be a hands-off shopkeeper from now on. The definition of Xiqin Restaurant has been very clear since its re-opening. It takes the exquisite and delicious private kitchen method, which means that Lin Shuyi will continue to innovate. Add some new dishes to the restaurant from time to time on the basis of the original ones, and these, undoubtedly, only Lin Shuyi can handle.
Probably because of nature, he didn't have too much ambition in this life. His purpose of taking over Xiqin Restaurant was just to make Lao Yang's life less difficult. Later, because of Shen Fu's relationship, he once wanted to turn the restaurant into a restaurant. The bigger one made him stand shoulder to shoulder with Shen Fu, but after having two children, Lin Shuyi no longer had these thoughts.
In fact, he knew a long time ago that he and Shen Fu had never had anything to do with other people's opinions, because Shen Fu wanted to work hard, and now because of his two children, he also wanted to live his life simply like this.
Shen Fu has no objection to this, he likes Lin Shuyi who worked hard because he wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, and now he likes Lin Shuyi who wants to stay together as a simple family.
The weather was getting warmer, and during Ching Ming Festival, Xiao Yu's school was closed for almost four days, and Shen Fu drove them to H City to worship their ancestors and take their two children out for a spring outing.
When Shen Fu went to Xiaoyu's school, Xiaoyu hadn't finished school yet, Xiaoyu's school was not far from home, but Shen Fu was still quite willing to pick him up specially, after all Xiaoyu's temper suddenly saw him back very happy.
There are many parents waiting outside the school to pick up their children, most of them are grandparents, occasionally there are a few parents mixed in, and there are very few of them, like Shen Fu, there is even none of them, leaning tall and tall In the car, I was wearing the short parent-child jacket I bought with Xiaoyu last time, and paired with a thin v-neck sweater inside, it was so handsome that it attracted everyone's attention from time to time. He was still unconsciously playing with the phone in his hand, looking up from time to time to see if his son had come out.
So Xiao Yu, who came out with her classmates, saw Shen Fu standing at the door at a glance, her eyes lit up, she stretched out her hand and kept waving, "Dad!"
Shen Fu had already walked towards him with a smile on his face.
Xiao Yu suddenly threw herself into Shen Fu's arms, was hugged by Shen Fu, hugged his neck and laughed.
"Dad, why are you here?"
"Pick you up to see your grandparents."
Xiao Yu laughed happily, "Okay!"
A few of his classmates stood behind Xiao Yu. When Xiao Yu greeted Shen Fu, they kept staring at Shen Fu. Two of the girls looked at Xiao Yu and Shen Fu, and they were slightly red face, "Lin Yu's father is really good-looking, no wonder Lin Yu is also so good-looking."
Shen Fu put Xiao Yu down, Xiao Yu pulled his classmates to introduce to Shen Fu one by one, Shen Fu greeted them with a smile, finally Xiao Yu proudly held up Shen Fu's big hand, and introduced to his classmates, "This is my dad!"
The students greeted each other, "Hello, Uncle."
Then several children stood together and talked for a while, and then they were picked up by adults. In the end, only one child stood beside Xiao Yu, looked at Shen Fu, and whispered in Xiao Yu's ear, "Xiao Yu Yu, I thought it was your father that I met last time."
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Shen Fu and said, "Well, that is also my father, our family's situation is quite special, I will tell you slowly later."
They are very good friends, so the boy was surprised and didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and said goodbye to Xiao Yu and left.
Shen Fu also took Xiao Yu into the car to go home to pick up the two at home, and then return to Shen's house.
Xiao Yu was very happy, and talked to Shen Fu about what happened in his school all the way. Shen Fu listened with a smile, and it could be seen that Xiao Yu really liked his school.
While talking, Xiao Yu suddenly stopped and asked seriously, "Dad, can I tell the children that I have two fathers?"
Shen Fu was slightly taken aback, and said, "If you feel troubled, you don't have to say anything."
Xiao Yu quickly shook her head, "No, he is a good friend of mine. I want to tell him that I have two fathers! They treat me better than anyone else!"
Said that in the end he lifted his chin, without any hypocrisy, he looked proud and proud, what happened if he didn't have a mother? He has two of the best and best dads in the world!
The corner of Shen Fu's mouth curled up and he laughed.
"Well, Xiaoyu and Taotao are the people Papa Lin and I like the most."
Xiao Yu blinked, "Isn't Papa Shen's favorite person Papa Lin?"
Shen Fu was taken aback for another moment, and then laughed, "Yes, but I also like Xiaoyu and Tao Tao the most, these two kinds of preferences are different, you will know when you grow up."
Xiao Yu is not very satisfied with this answer, but it doesn't matter, as long as Father Shen likes him.
Lin Shuyi doesn't need to worry too much about ancestor worship and grave sweeping, after all, ancestor worship is far less complicated now.
On the day of the ancestor worship, Tao Tao did not go. Aunt Chen accompanied her at home, and the rest of the family went out together.
When he came back, Mr. Shen suddenly said that he wanted to eat the Youth League.
Lin Shuyi didn't quite know what Qingtuan was, but when he heard that Qingtuan was a must-eat in H City during the Ching Ming Festival, he immediately became interested.
"I remember that there seems to be mugwort leaves in Qingtang Botanical Garden, do you want to go and have a look?"
Father Shen suggested.
Shen Fu thought for a while and said, "Xiao Yi and I will go pick it up, you guys go home first, Tao Tao and Aunt Chen are at home, I'm afraid he won't see anyone for a long time and wants to cry."
So everyone divided into two groups, Shen Fu drove Lin Shuyi to Qingtang Botanical Garden.
The rest went home.
Father Shen's memory is still good. There really is a piece of mugwort leaf in the Qingtang Botanical Garden. It didn't grow very vigorously at this time, and someone had already picked it.
Shen Fu rolled up his sleeves and started to work, Lin Shuyi stood aside, laughing nonstop.
Shen Fu turned around helplessly, "What is so funny?"
Lin Shuyi pointed to a few elderly aunts around, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I suddenly feel that you are quite suitable for this job."
Shen Fu raised one corner of his mouth and laughed, full of lust, "Not only is it suitable for this, but I am also suitable for you."
Lin Shuyi blushed, glared at him, turned around to pick Ai Ye on the ground and stopped talking.
Shen Fu laughed out loud.
Although Qingtuan is a must-eat snack during the Ching Ming Festival, it is very simple to make.
After the mugwort leaf is washed and scalded in cold water to cool down, add water to make mugwort leaf juice, then add glutinous rice flour and knead it into a dough.
Pull the dough into a flat bag and fill it with soft red bean paste, close the mouth and steam it in a pan.
Qingtuan is easy to make, but red bean paste is a bit troublesome, because everyone doesn’t like to eat sweet and greasy things, so this time the red bean paste is made by Shen’s mother herself. Ten minutes, when the beans are out of the pot, almost all the water in the beans has gone, and then start to wash the sand, use a strainer to isolate the beans in clean water and wash them while kneading, drain all the bean paste into the clean water, and wipe them with gauze after all the kneading The bean paste water is filtered, so that the bean paste filling is the softest, and the bean skin that cannot be crushed is also removed.
The last is fried sand, lard is the best, because there is no lard, use clear and tasteless corn oil instead, pour the bean paste into the pot, add brown sugar in a portion, fry on low heat until the water slowly evaporates, and the bean paste starts to stick thick.
Tao Tao salivated at the Qingtuan, but he couldn't eat such glutinous rice balls, so Lin Shuyi broke the dumplings and scooped up the bean paste inside to feed him.
The homemade bean paste tastes soft and sweet, and the emerald green dumpling has the unique fragrance of mugwort leaves. Mr. Shen really likes it very much. He ate several in one go, and then was stopped by Shen's father.
Glutinous rice is such an indigestible food, no matter how much you like it, it is better to eat less.
