Chapter 224 Maybe the biological parents came to find me

Xia Juanjuan was planning to make some flower cakes.

The soul of flower cake is candied flowers.

The flowers she picked were all freshly picked from the space. After washing them, she gently rubbed them with sugar and honey, and then sealed them in cans and kept them away from light for two or three days. The petals were then soaked in sugar and tasted good.

The next step is to make the puff pastry, then mix the pickled flowers with a little glutinous rice flour, or add red bean paste as fillings, and then bake it in the oven.

Of course, the oven is in the space that is used secretly.

Xia Juanjuan also made more than twenty and gave some to Shen Wanxue and Yang Qiushi.

Lin Yuru said she would take the few left for Xia Shuangshan back home.

From the time Xia Juanjuan became pregnant to the time she gave birth, and now that the triplets are more than eight to nine months old, Lin Yuru has basically been living with Xia Juanjuan, helping to take care of the little ones.

However, if she always stayed at the home of a married lady, people in the village would gossip about her, so she would go back to Xia Village and stay for a day or two every once in a while before coming back.

Lin Yuru brought some fresh flower cakes home and gave them to Xia Shuangshan.

Xia Shuangshan said, "I'm a grown man. You can just keep this sweet thing for the kids. Why are you bringing it back to me?"

But his hands were honest and he immediately took a cake and took a bite.

The puff pastry is baked to a crispy and fragrant texture, while the filling inside is sweet, sticky and delicious, with a faint scent of flowers that simply makes your heart sweet.

Especially, this was made by his daughter herself!

Seeing Xia Shuangshan eat one in no time and even pick up the crumbs on the table, Lin Yuru couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and teased, "Who said this was not sweet? Now you're like a greedy cat..."

Xia Shuangshan glanced at her and said, "You are the only one who talks too much! This is what my daughter did, how can I waste it?"

As the two were talking, a woman with gray hair came over to visit.

"Is the Shuangshan family at home?"

When Lin Yuru saw her, she quickly let her in and said with a smile, "I'm here! I just got back! Aunt Li, come in quickly!"

Aunt Li was a widow and also the midwife who knew how to deliver babies in Xia Village. It was Aunt Li who took care of everything when Lin Yuru gave birth to Yan Haotian and several other births or miscarriages that followed.

In the past, when Xia Shuangshan and Lin Yuru were bullied in Xia Village, Aunt Li was also a righteous person. She stood up for them and confronted Li Cuihua several times in front of the villagers.

However, Aunt Li was not in a position to speak of the Xia family's affairs. Lin Yuru and Xia Shuangshan were poor at the time, so their situation had not improved.

However, Lin Yuru was always grateful to Aunt Li.

When Xia Shuangshan saw the two women chatting about family matters, he struck up a conversation and went out to work in the fields.

Lin Yuru took a fresh flower cake from the table and stuffed it directly into Aunt Li's hand, saying with a smile, "You came at the right time. I'll give you something good to try."

Aunt Li tried to decline quickly - these days, everyone was poor and many people even fought over a bite of food. As an outsider, how could she have the nerve to take other people's food?

However, Lin Yuru still insisted on giving it to her.

Aunt Li accepted it with embarrassment: "Look, it makes me feel like I knew you had delicious food at home and came here specially..."

Lin Yuru smiled and said, "Auntie Li, look at what you said, can I think that way? This is the method my daughter learned from Beijing. It's sweet inside, you can try it."

Aunt Li took a bite and immediately smiled happily, saying, "Oh! It's so sweet! Maybe it was marinated with wild honey or something?"

After chatting for a while, Aunt Li suddenly came over and whispered, "Shuangshan family, I came here today, first, to visit you, and second, I have something I want to tell you so that you have a clear idea in your mind and don't panic when the time comes."

When Lin Yuru heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

She was a person who could not stand the pressure, so she quickly asked: "Auntie Li...what do you mean?"

Aunt Li looked at her with a serious expression and asked, "Let me ask you, when you were about to give birth, you brought home that child...you told me at the time that you picked him up, were you lying to me?"

When Lin Yuru heard that what was mentioned was the matter of her young lady, her heart seemed to fall into a bottomless pit, and even her head was buzzing with thoughts.

"Why would I lie to you? I did pick it up."

Aunt Li's expression softened a bit, but she still confirmed again: "I picked it up, not bought it with money?"

Lin Yuru was almost dying of anxiety, and nodded quickly, saying, "It's true. If I'm lying, I'll be struck by lightning! Aunt Li, you're almost killing me, just tell me what's going on? My daughter..."

Aunt Li sighed and said, "If you really didn't buy or steal the child, then I wouldn't dare to continue."

"Actually, I'm just guessing. Just two days ago, I went to the town and was stopped by a woman who came from nowhere. She asked me if I knew if there was a family in the area who had adopted a baby girl who was only a few days old more than 20 years ago. She was holding a piece of cloth from a bag and asked me to identify it..."

"Bag skin?" Lin Yuru's voice trembled.

She still has the bag that wrapped the baby. It really looks like someone tore it off and there is a piece missing!

Aunt Li nodded and continued, "It happened more than 20 years ago. You can't be sure of anything with just a piece of cloth. I just made a few excuses, saying it was nothing, and left. But when I think about it later, I still think it's too coincidental. Shuangshan's family, I think... maybe it's your Juan'er's biological parents who came to visit!"
