Yè Liángchén then washed and peeled the big sweet potato, cutting it into pieces.
He also had to watch the two of them, not letting them get too wild or do anything dangerous.
After a flurry of activity, he finally roasted sweet potatoes and boiled sugar water for the two girls.
"Eat up! I don't have anything particularly special here.
It's just simple food, Miss Long, please don't mind it ~" Yè Liángchén said politely, but Lóng Yèxuě's mind was entirely on the bowl before her.
"Hehe, I don't mind at all, I don't mind at all. This is much tastier than delicacies from land and sea," she said. Without waiting for it to cool, she picked up the bowl, grabbed a small spoon, and took a large mouthful.
"Ouch, ouch, it's so hot!" As soon as she bit into the sweet potato, Lóng Yèxuě burned her mouth and quickly spat it back into the bowl.
"Hahaha, Auntie’s a dummy!" Yè Xiǎoměng giggled and teased.
"Auntie is a greedy cat. Xiǎo Dài knows she has to blow on it to cool it down before eating!" Yè Xiǎodài picked up her spoon, scooped a piece of sweet potato, and blew on it with her small mouth. After waiting for tens of seconds, the little girl felt it was ready and took a small sip of the sugar water from the spoon, followed by a small bite of sweet potato.
"Mmm, the sweet potatoes Dad cooked are tastier than Grandpa's ~" Yè Xiǎoměng saw her sister eating and also learned to blow on hers before taking a bite.
"Boohoo, hot ~" But the little girl was too eager to eat and didn't cool it completely, still burning her small mouth.
Yè Liángchén had been by the stove and hadn't noticed what the two girls were doing. Hearing Xiǎo Měng's cry now, he quickly turned back. Seeing the little girl constantly puffing air, with tears welling up in her eyes, he felt both angry and amused.
"What are you rushing for? All of this is for you.
There's more in the pot if you want.
Now look, you've burned your mouth. I'll see if you can still drink it!" Yè Huá was frustrated with her lack of progress, but he still stepped forward and quietly used his spiritual power to heal the girl's injury.
"Mmm, ooh, it's cool and so comfortable!" Yè Xiǎoměng exclaimed.
"Dad, why doesn't Xiǎo Měng hurt anymore?"
"You want it to hurt, do you?" Yè Liángchén said with a dark expression, playfully pinching her nose lightly as he looked at the mischievous girl.
"Ah, you're going to pinch my nose off, Dad."
Yè Xiǎoměng batted her father's arm, muttering with discontent.
Yè Liángchén ignored her and took her small bowl, fanning it with a fan. Secretly, he used his spiritual power to create ice for cooling.
"There, it's cool enough to drink now."
"Dad, Xiǎo Dài wants some too ~" Yè Xiǎodài looked at Yè Liángchén with eager eyes.
Yè Liángchén didn't hesitate and also cooled the sweet potato sugar water for her.
Lóng Yèxuě bit her spoon, watching the interaction between the father and his two daughters. Her bright eyes fell on the faint ice cubes at the bottom of the bowl, and her pupils contracted.
Good heavens, conjuring ice out of thin air? This is truly a Grandmaster level expert. Only Grandmaster level experts possess the profound internal energy to use abilities like ice to attack enemies.
"What are you looking at? There's ice in the refrigerator. If you want something cold, you can add ice to it." Yè Liángchén didn't want the children to eat too many frozen things, so he only cooled theirs down.
"Oh, oh!" Lóng Yèxuě didn't hesitate, opening the refrigerator and getting a plate of ice. She then iced her sweet potato sugar water.
"Mmm, ice-cold is even better," Lóng Yèxuě said contentedly, drinking the sugar water. Feeling a warm current surge within her, she couldn't help but slightly narrow her eyes.
"It's even tastier than the sugar water I buy outside ~"
"Mmm, sweet ~" Yè Xiǎoměng hugged her small bowl, gulping it down. Her little face was full of smiles, and she didn't bother with the water stains on her cheeks.
"Awooo!" Yè Xiǎodài was more demure, holding her small spoon, scooping a piece of sweet potato, and eating it bite by bite.
Yè Liángchén also got a large bowl of sweet potato and drank it slowly. He didn't forget to wipe his two daughters' hands and mouths to prevent them from getting dirty.
"Hehe, from now on, I'll call you Brother Yè."
Lóng Yèxuě suddenly got closer, with a fawning expression.
"Spit it out, what do you want?" Yè Liángchén rolled his eyes and looked at Lóng Yèxuě speechlessly. He didn't believe this young lady had nothing up her sleeve.
"Nothing, it's just that your sugar water is so delicious. I want to pack some for my family ~" As she said this, Lóng Yèxuě's face was already flushed red.
It's so embarrassing. Who packs food and drink for their family?
It's all because this sugar water is too delicious, and it contains Spiritual energy, nourishing yin and supplementing yang...
Lóng Yèxuě kept making excuses in her heart, trying to convince herself. It was all for the good health of her grandparents.
Sugar water containing Spiritual energy, let alone anything else, could at least nourish their aging bodies.
Seeing that Lóng Yèxuě wasn't lying, and glancing at the remaining sweet potato sugar water in the pot, Yè Liángchén scooped a spoonful for each of his daughters and said,
"That can be arranged!
Leave two bowls for me, and you can take all the rest.
If we can't finish it, we'll feed it to the pigs anyway."
"Feed it to pigs?" Lóng Yèxuě was stunned and looked at Yè Liángchén suspiciously.
"That's right!
In the countryside, this is how we deal with leftovers.
If you don't have pigs, you can feed it to dogs or cows."
Lóng Yèxuě gritted her teeth. How could this guy talk like that?
Feeding such good stuff to pigs?
Even if you were going to feed it to pigs, you don't have to say it out loud!
Isn't this treating her and her grandparents like pigs?
However, thinking about the effects of this good stuff, Lóng Yèxuě quickly put all that aside.
Her eyes gleamed as she looked at the sweet potato sugar water in the pot.
As long as she left two bowls, she could pack all the rest!
This way, besides giving some to her grandparents, she could also save some for a midnight snack!

Without further ado, Lóng Yèxuě thought for a moment and took out her wallet.
"Here, I won't take advantage of you."
Yè Liángchén was taken aback, looking at the several hundred-yuan bills being handed to him.
"Alright!" If you don't take advantage of a good deal, you're a fool. These few hundred yuan would be good for buying pretty dresses for the two girls. As for food?
Sorry, there's no shortage of it in the village. Outside food is all sorts of unhygienic, and Yè Liángchén didn't want his daughters eating that trash.
Two and a half hours later, at the Long Family Old Residence.
"Father, the doctor said that you and Mother cannot eat sweets. Please, forget about this sweet potato sugar water!" Long Xinhong quickly snatched the sweet potato sugar water from his father's hand and then glared at Lóng Yèxuě.
"Don't you know that Grandpa and Grandma have high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol? And you went and brought back sweet potato sugar water from outside..."
"..." Lóng Yèxuě looked at Old Master Long. She saw him slap Long Xinhong on the head and angrily shout,
"So what if we have high blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol?
Does that mean we can't eat sweet potatoes? Who gave you the nerve to yell at my precious granddaughter?"
Old Madam Long, Liáng Yùyīng, then adopted a fighting stance.
"Come on, old woman, I'll spar with you! Let's see who has higher blood pressure, you or me!
Stop bothering me and my granddaughter to cultivate our relationship!
You brat, mother thinks you're asking for a beating, your skin is itching!"
Long Xinhong looked at the two elders in their stance, his face turning dark and helpless. He could only glare at his daughter twice.
As for fighting back?
That would truly be asking for a beating.
They knew their own family. His mother and father were Hua Jin Grandmasters in their youth. Now that they were old, their strength had decreased, but they still possessed internal strength and martial cultivation.
