When Egg Yolk heard the sound in the kitchen, he also walked in with a shy face, wagging his big fluffy tail.

"You, the Liu family, eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, but I don't have these to entertain you when you come here.

Yan Shu put rice in another small iron pot and cooked millet porridge.

The water in the big iron pot started to boil, making the lid of the pot flutter.

After a while, the smell of milk cake came from the kitchen.

Liu Zhuo tinkered in front of the stove door for a long time, but the flames grew weaker and weaker.

It was originally a cold weather, but he was sweating all over, and his handsome and clean face was stained with two black streaks of pot ash at some point.

The kitchen was so smoky that the two of them coughed repeatedly.

"Haha, you young master, it's better not to do this. You go to the side to rest and I'll do it."

Yan Shu stepped forward and pushed Liu Zhuo aside. She sat on the small bench and quickly added firewood to the stove.

Liu Zhuo said nervously on the side:

"I'm sorry, I've never done this kind of work before, so I'm not very good at it, hehe."

He picked up the cattail leaf fan attached to the wall and fanned away the smoke in the kitchen.

Yan Shu was amused by his actions.

"Stop fanning. Save your energy. As long as an open fire is lit in the kitchen, the smoke will dissipate in a short time."

"Okay, I caused trouble for my sister." Liu Zhuo put the fan back again and stood dryly on the side, trying to find something to do.

Yan Shu stood up, poured some hot water in a copper basin, took out a new brocade handkerchief and handed it to Liu Zhuo.

"Look at you, you're almost turning into a black baby here. Wash it quickly. There's dust on your face."

Liu Zhuo shyly took the brocade handkerchief, wet it with water and wiped it haphazardly on his face.

Yan Shu was even more funny when she saw Liu Zhuo's scrubbed face.

"What did you do? Your face gets dirtier and dirtier the more you wash it."

After saying that, Yan Shu couldn't help but take the handkerchief and dry the water and get started.

She held the corner of the veil with her slender hands and began to peck Liu Zhuo's face.

Liu Zhuo was a head taller than Yan Shu. At first, Yan Shu had a little difficulty. When Liu Zhuo noticed it, he squatted down consciously.

"I guess you are being taken care of at home. If you lived here like me, I don't know what kind of chaos it would be." Yan Shu said with a smile.

Liu Zhuo was actually enjoying himself at the moment.

There were usually many servants serving him in the Liu Mansion, and he was eager to get over it quickly so he could leave.

Today at Yan Shu's place, I wish time would pass a little slower, and a little slower. It would be great if we could stay together quietly like this forever.

"My father...my father and mother passed away early, and my grandmother has always taken care of me in every detail. She really didn't do many small things herself."

Liu Zhuo's Adam's apple moved, as if he had been working for a long time, and it was a bit laborious to say a word.

"Okay, now you're clean, wipe your hands and start eating. I'll wake Yaya up."

Yan Shu turned around and went to the bedroom to call Yaya.

Liu Zhuo reacted from his immersed thoughts.

He suddenly felt that he had been too abnormal recently.

As evening approached, it was still raining lightly outside, and the late autumn wind blew fallen leaves all over the ground.

Although the scenery is desolate, there is joy and peace inside the house.

Yan Shu burned charcoal on the iron stove in the living room. After a while, the whole room became warm.

Yan Shu invited Liu Zhuo and Yaya to sit down at the table.

She shuttled back and forth between the kitchen and the living room.

The egg yolk also followed its owner diligently back and forth.

"Mom, what delicious food did you make?" Yaya rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"You guys wait for me for a while and I'll cook it right away." Yan Shu replied happily.

For the first time, Yaya felt that there was an extra person in the family, and he was also a man. Her young heart suddenly felt a sense of security.

"Uncle. Can you come to stay with us more often in the future? My mother and I are so scared at home." Yaya blinked and looked at Liu Zhuo.

"Yaya, do you want me to come often? Then I will come to see you often." Liu Zhuo replied gently, stroking Yaya's soft ball head.

"Quickly, put a mat on the table for me." Yan Shu held the steaming stew pot in both hands.

Liu Zhuo is still confused. Yaya has quickly laid out the mat for her mother.

When Yan Shu put down her things, Yaya and Liu Zhuo were both greedy for the food in front of them.

In the stew pot is a golden and soft steamed cake.

A sweet and rich fragrance went straight into the noses of the three of them.

"Wow, mother, what kind of delicious food did you cook today? Why have I never seen it before?"

"I haven't seen it either. I can't tell you, sister, you are still a chef." Liu Zhuo joked.

"Today is my uncle's birthday, and he is willing to come to our house with honor. I can only entertain him with this."

After Yan Shu finished speaking, she inserted a bamboo stick into the center of the cake. Then she looked at Liu Zhuo and said:

"Make a wish. On your birthday, you have to eat cake and light candles to make a wish!"

Liu Zhuo was very moved when he saw the steamed cake carefully prepared by Yan Shu for him.

Although he grew up in the Liu family and lived in fine clothes, today he can actually feel the different warmth of the world in a small rural household.

Liu Zhuo's clear-cut face is intertwined with light and shadow.

He lowered his head and closed his eyes. His long eyelashes trembled in panic, and his warm lips moved slightly.

"Okay, I've made my wish. Thank you for continuing to celebrate this birthday with me." Liu Zhuo opened his eyes and looked at Yan Shu affectionately.

Yan Shu was a little embarrassed by the handsome face in front of her.

"Mom, I also want to make a wish." Yaya just broke the awkwardness at this moment. .

"Okay, okay, let our Yaya have a wish." Liu Zhuo looked at the little girl next to him with affection.

After Yaya finished her wish, Yan Shu went to the kitchen to bring millet porridge and pickled rice dishes.

Yan Shu first put a piece of steamed cake on a plate for Liu Zhuo, then a piece for Yaya, and finally a piece for herself.

The three of them ate happily.

Yaya and Liu Zhuo couldn't help but praise how delicious it was and even finished the rest of the cake.

Yan Shu happily asked Yaya:

"What is your wish, my dear?"

Yaya opened her mouth and said:

"Wishes can only be in the heart and cannot be expressed, otherwise it will not work!"

Liu Zhuo and Yan Shu looked at each other and smiled. I can’t help but feel that children are not easy to deceive either.

Although the dinner was very simple, all three of them ate it happily.

After packing everything, the rain stopped outside the house.

Liu Zhuo was embarrassed to stay with Yan Shu any longer. After all, he had been here for too long today.

If the autumn rain hadn't kept him here as a guest, he wouldn't have had the chance to have dinner with Yan Shu and his daughter.

"Thank you sister for preparing the birthday cake for me tonight. This is the first time in my life that I have eaten cake. It will be a beautiful memory for me." Liu Zhuo looked at Yan Shu and said gratefully.

On Yan Shu's charming face, her dark eyes shone with gleaming light.

"I'm happy that I can help you. From now on, you can take good care of your own happiness." Yan Shu said.

Liu Zhuo hesitated to speak at this time, how much he wanted to tell the woman in front of him all his thoughts.

But, he didn't, he thought it would be too abrupt.

He could only put on the cloak he had worn when he came here, and said goodbye to Yan Shu and his daughter reluctantly.

A cold evening breeze swept past, and Liu Zhuo and his horse disappeared into the rustling autumn wind.

Yan Shu and Yaya stood in the yard watching the guests, feeling a little empty inside.
