Of course, that didn't include the one in the middle that had been roasted in the oven.
The children's eyes turned green when they saw the various cakes, and each of them took a cup of cake and tasted it first.
"Wife, you should try it too and see how good your husband's cooking skills are." Sheng Yun said with a smile.
"Let Yiwa's family come over. I'm not hungry yet." "No," I said.
"Were you full just now?" He smirked, then winked at me.
I was embarrassed and quickly changed the topic. I said to Nanny Liu with a smile, "Mom, this was all done by Yun. You should try it too."
"We, Yun, are too amazing. The cake we made is the same as the one we bought in the shop. But I have high blood sugar, and I can't eat these cakes or anything. You young people can eat them. " Nanny Liu said with a smile.
"Mom, I know you have high blood sugar. I specially made something suitable for you to eat, I'll bring it over for you." Sheng Yun said to Nanny Liu.
He hurried to the kitchen and placed in front of Nanny Liu the cake he had made for her and the lasagna.
Nanny Liu was extremely touched. She looked at Sheng Yun and said to me, "You guys, although you are not my own children, but you really treat this old woman better than your own child."
"Mom, from now on, you will live here. We are one family. We'll help you with your old age, so you can stay here in peace, okay? " Sheng Yun held Nanny Liu's hand and said earnestly.
I also said to Nanny Liu, "Mom, we'll live here from now on. We won't be able to rest at ease if you live alone in the old city district. Zaizai and Qian Jin have also grown up, we have time to take care of them ourselves now. As long as you live with us, we will feel a lot more at ease. "
"I …" Nanny Liu was both moved and embarrassed, probably because she was afraid that her age would affect us more and more, but seeing how sincere we were, she finally nodded and agreed.
Sheng Yun and I looked at each other and smiled. In our hearts, we heaved a sigh of relief.
At this time, a car stopped outside our courtyard. It was probably Xia Yiwa and Shang Yang.
So, one by one, we walked into the yard, and saw Xia Yiwa and Shang Yang get out of the car. Shang Yang carried his youngest daughter on his chest with a strap, while Xia Yiwa held her eldest daughter's hand.
"Yiwa." I called out her name and couldn't help walking over to her, smiling at her.
She looked at me, too, with mixed feelings. She had changed, she had become thinner, there were faint lines at the corners of her eyes, she was still wearing her business attire, her makeup was as delicate as ever.
"Shubei." She let go of her eldest daughter's hand and opened it to me. We held each other tightly.
"I didn't expect that all of you experienced so much in these three years. I know this, it's too shocking. " Xia Yiwa said to me.
"It's all in the past now. Look, everything is fine now." I laughed.
Shang Yang stood aside and also looked at me with emotion. He said: "We have also experienced a lot, but we have also come over. "You see, our little girl is born."
"What's her name?" I asked, smiling.
"The eldest daughter is called 'Bullying', and the youngest is called 'Pop Pop'. Pop, pop. Come, smile at Auntie. " Shang Yang took off the strap on his back, and I took his youngest daughter from him.
Their eldest daughter was about the same age as Zaizai, and she looked very similar to Yiwa. Their youngest daughter was like Shang Yang, with big eyes and a round face.
I soon went to play with Zaizai and Qian Jin. I hugged Bo and we walked into my house together, talking and laughing.
When I told them that these cakes were all made by Sheng Yun, Xia Yiwa was shocked.
"Bro, when did you have such an expert skill?" Xia Yiwa asked in surprise.
"I've learned in the United States for more than a year, and I've made a big cake." Sheng Yun laughed and then went to the kitchen to bring out the cake he made.
The cake was beautiful, with the pattern of our family of three. Sheng Yun and I sat on the edge of the cake while Zaizai and Qian Jin played ball on a patch of grass.
"Brother, you're too awesome." "Even now, Shang Yang still doesn't know how to cook. I'm busy every day, so we can only eat outside." Xia Yiwa said.
"Is business doing well now? The company is no longer the size it used to be, right? " I couldn't help but ask.
"Well, business has always been good. Our website is now a well-known cosmetics website in our country. Next, I wanted to go public and develop my own cosmetics brand, but the pressure was so great that the children couldn't care less. "This guy, he's been a full-time dairyman for a while." Xia Yiwa said with a smile.
Shang Yang smiled: "I had no choice, it was me who married a strong woman. I've thought it through in the past few years. Marriage is about compromising. "Since she's willing to charge in, I'll just have to worry about the rear."
"Marriage isn't easy. It seems that you've had quite a few conflicts these past few years?" I asked, smiling.
"Yeah, I feel like I've passed through a lot, but I've survived it now. These past few years, I've also been extremely anxious, so when I found out about your matter, I was truly shocked. Shubei, I didn't expect that you would actually be disguised as someone else. It's too outrageous. You've suffered a lot in these three years, and so has my brother. What are you going to do next? If you still want to start over and need more funds, I'll support you! " Xia Yiwa said.
"We don't want to show our faces anymore. We just want to live a normal life. Your brother intends to open his own cake shop, and our family will live ordinary and trivial lives. " I smiled and said to them, "If you have time in the future, you can come and find us often. We now have plenty of time to amuse ourselves, and I think that's good. "
"But are you willing? Now that Golden Age had been transformed, it became something like an AoXiong Group. Your former domain is still at the forefront of the era. With the strength of the two of you, if you want to regain your footing, it won't take much time. Are you used to living like this? Are you really used to living like this? " Xia Yiwa asked us in confusion.
"We're used to it, and we just feel that life is what we want most right now. "There used to be too much desire, but now this life feels so peaceful." I said, smiling.
"Brother, you can adapt? You don't want to bother me because of the money, or what? I really think you guys can try again. Even if you don't want to try again, you can come to my company. I'm giving you senior positions. It's such a waste of talent for people like you to open a cake shop. " Xia Yiwa spoke with a business tone.
"Yiwa, when you really reach the top, you will discover that the high ground may not be so beautiful. If you really reach it, that is all. In the end, we have to return to the ordinary life, so there is nothing bad about the ordinary life. We had a plan for the future, and Shubei and I were going to choose this model. "You guys come over often when you're free. I'll show you my culinary skills." Sheng Yun said.
"Brother …" Lili's face was a mask of regret, and Shang Yang saw the difference, so he gave her a wink and said, "Yiwa, everyone has their choice and everyone's way of living. As long as Sheng Yun and Shubei were happy now. They've suffered so much, and now they just want to live in peace. I think it's good. "
"Well, that's true," Xia Yiwa said, then relaxed. She raised her glass and said to Sheng Yun and me, "Then I wish you will always be as happy as you are now, making up for all the good times you haven't had before."
"Thank you, Yiwa. I also wish you a happy career and a happy family." I said the same to Xia Yiwa.
Three years has caused a huge gap in our lives, now Xia Yiwa, very much like the once ambitious me, wholeheartedly on the road to independence and power, hoping to meet a better self in the high places.
I could understand all her thoughts, but there was no such thing in me anymore. Right now, I just want to walk along with Sheng Yun and turn my life into a simple and sweet little poem. I don't want to pursue wealth anymore.
We ate a very delicious western meal, tasted the cake, and children happily cut the cake together to make a game, until very late.
All four children were asleep, and the room quieted down. Everyone drank a lot, so I told them to stay the night and not go back.
Xia Yiwa agreed, and the two of us sat in front of the french window, swinging our glasses and looking out at the moon.
Xia Yiwa smiled and said, "Shubei, do you still remember that year when I just returned back home?"
"Of course I remember. I still remember what kind of clothes you were wearing that day. I still remember what you said. I remember the cake you bought for me." "No," I said.
"That's right, but so many years have passed in a flash. Right now, we are all the mothers of children. Time flies. Actually, I can tell you a secret. " Xia Yiwa said with a smile.
"I know what it is." I looked at her, smiled, and said, "I know you used to like your brother, and it wasn't a normal thing."
"You know me so well." Xia Yiwa also smiled. She looked at me and said, "All these years, I've been subconsciously looking for someone who is similar to my brother. I've also subconsciously wanted to become you. "So, I've always been dissatisfied with Shang Yang, and always felt that I was relying on him. It was only after I saw Shang Yang's other side that I realized that he was actually very outstanding. He was just willing to be mediocre with me."
"Now, you have become me. You have become better than me. And your brother, now he and Shang Yang, can be considered to have returned on the same path. " I said with a smile.
"Well, we've all survived, and we've all met with the best of blessings. I still hate him, but I know better than anyone that he's the most important person in my life. " Xia Yiwa said with a smile.
We both turned to look at the two men in the room. The two of them were sitting on the sofa, focused on the TV show, arguing because they had different opinions. Their faces were red like those of the young men from back then …
At that moment, Xia Yiwa and I looked at each other and smiled. Both of our eyes were filled with relief.
