Chapter 1180: Making Dumplings

"Cheers!"

"Happy Chinese New Year!"

"Happy Chinese New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Wu Xiaotian and Liang Xin'er sat together and toasted each other to celebrate the New Year. Bei Bei also joined in the fun with everyone, holding up the quilt full of drinks, and toasting with everyone.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very warm, especially this year, the two families celebrated the New Year together, with a total of 8 people, which was a lot more than the previous two families celebrating the New Year alone, so it was also a lot more lively. Especially Beibei, I was very happy to see my father and mother together in the New Year.

"Dad, Mom, why don't we make dumplings?" Bei Bei asked strangely halfway through eating.

She learned in kindergarten that it seemed that she had the habit of eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year, but in her impression, she had never eaten them during the Spring Festival, so she was very curious.

"Eating dumplings?" Wu Xiaotian was stunned.

"Uh-huh. Bei Bei nodded and said, "When I was in kindergarten, the teacher taught it, and it was also written in the book, saying that you should eat dumplings during the Spring Festival." ”

"Haha...... Beibei, we don't eat dumplings during the New Year. Liang Zhongtai heard it and replied first.

"Why?" Bei Bei was even more curious, because what his grandfather said was different from what was written in the book and what the teacher taught. She clearly remembered that she was holding dumplings, but how could her grandfather say that she wouldn't eat them.

Could it be that the book and the teacher are wrong?

Liang Xin'er explained with a smile: "Beibei, that's the case, we in Huaxia have the custom of eating dumplings, so what your teacher said is right in the book." However, our China is very large, and the customs of each place are different, and the surprise is also great, so most of the customs of eating dumplings are in the north of our China, and our hometown is not. ”

Huaxia is very large, from south to north, from east to west, and each place has customs. Some customs are common, but more are distinct. But in today's textbooks, there are many knowledge points that are relatively one-sided.

"No, the customs are different! I see. Bei Bei was a little stunned at first, but it didn't take long for her eyes to light up, obviously understanding Liang Xin'er's explanation.

"Beibei, do you want to eat dumplings?" Wu's mother suddenly asked Beibei.

Bebe nodded, then shook her head again. Her two actions suddenly made everyone a little confused. However, Bei Bei immediately spoke: "I want to eat dumplings, but I also want to make dumplings." When I was watching TV in the afternoon, I saw a lot of people making dumplings on TV. ”

"Haha......" Wu's mother cared about Bei Bei the most, she couldn't help laughing when she heard Bei Bei's pitiful words, and comforted Bei Bei: "It turns out that Bei Bei wants to make dumplings, and it just so happens that there is flour, vegetables and other ingredients for making dumplings at home, so let's make dumplings tonight." ”

"Really?" Bei Bei suddenly became happy when he heard this.

"Mom, don't get used to Beibei!" Wu Xiaotian glanced at Beibei and said to Wu's mother with a wry smile.

"Today, the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, what is not customary. We don't have anything to do in the evening, so we just watch the Spring Festival Gala while making dumplings, which is the best. Mother Wu waved her hand, obviously not listening to Wu Xiaotian's opinion.

Han Xueyi also spoke: "That's right, since Bei Bei learned it in kindergarten, and making dumplings is indeed a New Year's custom in our country, take the opportunity of the Spring Festival to let Bei Bei also feel it, which is just entertaining." ”

Wu Xiaotian saw that Wu Ma and Han Xueyi said this, so he didn't say anything more. After all, it's a good thing for small children to be curious about new things.

So, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner continued, and everyone chatted about the events of the year while eating, talking and laughing, and having fun. In addition, with Beibei's pistachio, there was a burst of joyful laughter at the dinner table from time to time.

It was almost 8 o'clock in the evening, and the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was finished. Wu Xiaotian remembered that the CCTV Spring Festival Gala started at 8 o'clock in the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, so he turned on the TV and prepared to watch the Spring Festival Gala later.

"I don't know how this year's Spring Festival Gala is?" Dad Wu saw Wu Xiaotian turn on the TV, and saw that the TV station was playing the preview before the Spring Festival Gala, and said a little thoughtfully: "I don't know what's going on, in recent years, watching the Spring Festival Gala, the more I watch it, the more I feel that it is not interesting, I always feel that those programs are constantly repeating, and there is no innovation at all." ”

"Yes, even if the Spring Festival Gala is not good-looking, I have watched it for many years, and I have developed a habit, and I can't help but turn on the TV to watch it before this time. Liang Zhongtai heard Wu's father's exclamation and said.

"Okay, don't sigh, hurry over and get something and prepare to make dumplings. Han Xueyi sighed when she saw Liang Zhongtai there, and interrupted.

"You too, old man, come and help. Wu's mother also said to Wu's father.

Liang Zhongtai and Wu's father agreed one after another, Wu Xiaotian also rushed over to help, Liang Xin'er sisters and Bei Bei were already eager to try, and the whole family was busy for a while. But fortunately, there is a lot of strength, and a group of people worked together to quickly complete the preparatory work for making dumplings.

After all the preparations were done, everyone sat down, it was exactly 8 o'clock, and the Spring Festival Gala on TV officially began.

"Beibei, do you know how to make dumplings?" Mama Wu looked at Beibei's excited look and asked her with a smile.

"Yes!" Bei Bei nodded without hesitation.

"What? Beibei, you can make dumplings?"

Beibei's unexpected nod surprised everyone present.

Wu Xiaotian asked in surprise, "Beibei, when did you learn to make dumplings?"

Bei Bei looked up, blinked with big eyes, and replied, "I learned from it when I watched TV today." ”

"Haha......" The crowd was silent for a while, and then burst into cheerful laughter.

Wu Xiaotian remembered that in the afternoon, he and Bei Bei sat on the sofa together to watch TV after pasting the door link, which happened to show the habit of eating dumplings in the Chinese New Year's Eve of a region, and the types and methods of dumplings were also detailed in the program. At that time, Bei Bei was very serious, but he didn't expect to be studying.

"How do you wrap that?" asked Liang Xin'er.

Bei Bei thought for a while, and then gestured with his hand while speaking: "First take a piece of dumpling skin, spread it out, and then put some dumpling filling in it, then wrap it with the dumpling skin and knead it." ”

At this time, everyone was shocked, because Bei Bei was right, the steps to make dumplings were only a few big steps. Even Wu Xiaotian, he wouldn't know too clearly.

"Bei Bei is amazing!" Han Xueyi first praised Bei Bei, and then said: "Then let's compete later, see who makes more dumplings, do you say it's good!"

"Hmm!" Bebe nodded immediately.

At this time, on TV, several hosts have already taken the stage, and after some greetings, the first program of the Spring Festival Gala has officially begun.
