When the two of them returned, there was nothing left in the basket. However, there was something else.
"What's this?"
Lu Sheng looked at it and raised her eyebrows.
Lu Xin smiled and said, "It's delicious!"
Then, she opened her mouth to show Lu Sheng what she was biting.
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. "Just eat it like this?"
Lu Jiang nodded. "Yes."
Lu Sheng picked up a piece and bit into it. She realized that it was made of glutinous rice with brown sugar and peanut filling inside.
It actually tasted quite good.
Lu Xin said, "Aunt Yu said she'll send some over again on Chinese New Year's Eve."
"Really?"
Lu Sheng smiled and gave two pieces to each of them.
She brewed a pot of tea, and took a sip with every piece. Soon, half the basket of the brown sugar peanut cakes was gone.
She counted and realized that there were only six pieces left. After some thought, she decided to leave two for Lu Ran. The remaining four pieces would be shared with the two children.
