13. Wavy dumplings

"Xiaoqing, I also brought some ingredients when I came out of the house, I'll go and bring them over and we'll make dinner together," Wu Xinlian said when Tang Qing got up and was about to go to the kitchen.

Since the whole family was defeated by Tang's mother's gentle offensive and accepted Wu Xinlian, a new teammate, this girl has always maintained this enthusiasm, from moving luggage to making beds to now cooking dinner, she has to take care of all the work alone, and she has to worry that someone at home will say that she is a burden and is unwilling to rush with her.

"Xinlian girl, come and sit down and rest, you have been busy for so long, let Tang Pei and Tang Qing go to the kitchen to make dinner together." Tang's mother felt even more sorry for Wu Xinlian at this time, and thought in her heart, "This child is good, but his life is too hard, how can this mother be so ruthless." "

"It's okay, Aunt Tang, it's just such a little work, how can I be tired, I used to be at home" Wu Xinlian didn't say any more, but still insisted on going to the kitchen to help cook.

To be honest, Tang Qing had very complicated feelings about Wu Xinlian at this time, if Wu Xinlian was really a "heroine", then her fate would be really miserable, but if she was not, it wouldn't make sense. Just after Tang's mother pulled Wu Xinlian to her home, a series of things happened that made Tang Qing believe that the "halo" on this girl was definitely not simple.

When queuing up to enter the city gate, the people in front of them all entered the county seat very smoothly, and when they arrived at their own home, they all kinds of hints were to pay "entrance fees" and "care fees". Even if Dad Tang said that he knew Deputy County Magistrate Lu, the guards at the door also looked like they were doing business, and the two parties were at a stalemate for a long time, until Dad Tang took out the ash bag left by Uncle Qin before and let him go.

Later, Deputy County Magistrate Lu, who found Uncle Qin to ask for help, was very enthusiastic to arrange a private house for the Tang family, but when they arrived at the place, as soon as Wu Xinlian climbed into the carriage to help carry the luggage, she heard the carriage slam, and several wooden planks fell apart. Fortunately, Brother Tang reacted quickly at that time and blocked the scattered wooden planks for Wu Xinlian, but in this way, Wu Xinlian was unharmed, and Brother Tang had a large piece of red and purple on his back.

Once or twice may really be an accident, but even stepping into the threshold has to fall, and Brother Tang, who is tired of walking in front, almost broke his foot, Tang Qing can't help but admire Wu Xinlian's "strong luck" in his heart.

In fact, in the previous life, Wu Xinlian's "luck" was not so obvious, in this life, in order to let Wu Xinlian be reborn at the age of ten, the space certainly consumed a lot of the "luck" that she had absorbed before. Wu Xinlian never knew that her carry-on space relied on absorbing the luck of the people around her to maintain normal operation. This is also a vicious circle, the portable space on her body constantly absorbs the luck of the people around her, and the bad luck of the people around her will naturally affect her, when the portable space can't absorb the luck of others, she naturally has to absorb Wu Xinlian's own, so, in her previous life, the "heroine's halo" couldn't help her escape.

Tang Qing originally planned to quietly enjoy the time of cooking food in the kitchen alone, but at this moment, many people poured into the kitchen: Wu Xinlian, Brother Tang, himself and Brother Qi Yu. After thinking about it, while everyone was not noticing, I took some fresh celery and carrots from the space and put them in the basket in the corner.

"Otherwise, let's make dumplings, and there are celery and carrots in this basket so that everyone can have something to do. My brother has a lot of strength to make dumpling wrappers, and Brother Qi Yu helps us wash the vegetables first. Tang Qing felt that the method he thought of couldn't be better, anyway, he hadn't eaten dumplings at home for a long time, and he could take them with him on the road if he did more.

"Sister Xiaoqing, I still have some eggs here, and I will mix them into the stuffing together for a while. Wu Xinlian carried a cloth bag into the kitchen.

In the evening, the sun was about to set, the temperature in the house was still very high, Brother Tang simply took off his coat, leaving only the white cotton vest he was wearing inside, and kept kneading the flour stirred into cotton wool in his hands, the sixteen-year-old boy had begun to take on the demeanor of a mature man at this time, the skin that had been working in the fields for many years was a healthy bronz, the facial features were as deep as a carving, and a few crystalline beads of sweat dripped down the angular cheeks, shining in the sun.

Tang Qing, who is a younger sister, couldn't help but be a little dizzy when she saw Brother Tang like this, "Mom and Dad's genes are so good, and my brother's appearance is not bad, even if my face is a little rounder now, I will open it in the future." Thinking like this, Tang Qing was even happier.

Everyone was busy with their own work, so no one noticed the flicker in Wu Xinlian's eyes for a moment. "In the last life, after Tang Qing died, the Tang family left Xiaoqiao Village, and they never saw their family again, in this life, not only Tang Qing survived, but the Tang family also had to move to the capital. Moreover, Tang Qing's father also knows these people that ordinary country men can't reach at all. It seems that I don't know everything about my previous life. Even though she was flashed by Brother Tang's appearance, Wu Xinlian still analyzed her situation very rationally, and she clearly knew that it was more dangerous to go to the capital alone than to be discovered by the Tang family.

"Hey, it's not right for you to stir like this, you have to stir it clockwise. "Obsessive-compulsive disorder Tang Qing is online, she snatched the chopsticks in Qi Yu's hand, and her hands kept stopping.

Qi Yu on the side was obviously at a loss, so he could only stand next to Tang Qing and whispered: "Xiaoqing, I know how to do it, you can give me the chopsticks." I'll do what you say. "

Brother Tang just rolled the dumpling wrappers seriously, as if nothing else could interfere with him. At this time, Wu Xinlian looked at Qi Yu, whose face was flushed, and smiled: "Xiaoqing, can you help me see if the dumplings are wrapped like this." "

"Well, it's very good, it turns out that you like this kind of "wavy dumplings", I like to wrap "Sixi dumplings", that is, put the filling in the center of the dumpling skin, knead it into a triangular shape, and then pinch out the wavy lace, which is also very good-looking. After speaking, his hand quickly flipped a few times, and a "Four Happiness Dumplings" simply took shape. "Look, that's it, it's not bad. "

"Well, this looks pretty good, and it's not easy to fall apart when cooked. Wu Xinlian seemed to praise Tang Qing very seriously, but her hand kept wrapping the wavy dumplings she had been wrapping. When the plates in front of her were full of "wavy dumplings", she changed her hand movement and wrapped a dumpling shaped like a four-leaf clover, and it didn't take long for her to change the wrapping method. Tang Qing didn't notice anything else, only focused on the things in his hands. And Qi Yu on the side glanced at Wu Xinlian thoughtfully.

"Okay, we've made a lot of dumplings, let's ask Mom and Dad to come and eat some first. Tang Qing pushed Brother Tang, and then said to Qi Yu: "Also, Brother Qi Yu, you can help me adjust the ingredients first, just use the bean paste in my bag and add some oil and vinegar, and stir it." "

Qi Yu poured out some bean paste and began to look around for oil and vinegar in the kitchen. "Brother Qi Yu, you give me the bowl, I know where the things are. Wu Xinlian poured the spices from the bowl into the other five bowls, found the oil and vinegar, and finally looked at the other people who were moving the table and chairs around her, and then reached for the bowl that was closest to her, and added something to it.

After setting the dishes and chopsticks, Qi Yu suddenly said to Wu Xinlian: "Sister Wu, can you help me find out the vinegar bottle again, my taste is a little heavy, I want to add a little more." Wu Xinlian naturally agreed.

"Ah, I'm dying of hunger, I don't care about you, I'll take a little and eat it first. Brother Tang casually took a bowl of seasoning on the table, ran to the cauldron, and scooped out a few dumplings. The speed was so fast that Qi Yu didn't have time to call him up.

"Where did the chili peppers come from in the bowl, the bean paste made by my sister never puts chili peppers, and, whew, it's so spicy, give me some water." Tang Pei's throat was almost smoking.

"You don't have any reaction other than spicy. Qi Yu slowly handed over a bowl of water and asked.

"No, why don't you try it too, don't you have a heavy taste. Brother Tang stretched out the bowl in Qi Yu's direction. Qi Yu, who has always disliked things shared with others, took the seasoning bowl in Brother Tang's hand very abnormally, scooped up a dumpling, and slowly ate it into his mouth.

"You two are hungry, let's sit down and make dinner. Tang Qing felt that the scene of the two beautiful teenagers feeding each other in front of him was really impossible to look at directly, so he hurriedly beckoned everyone to sit down. Immediately afterwards, Tang Qing was satisfied to see everyone's admiration for dinner: "Hey, Sister Xinlian, don't dumplings match your appetite, why don't you use chopsticks."

"No, I just feel a little hot, so I'll eat it, you can eat it too, don't patronize everyone. Wu Xinlian said slowly.

Brother Tang and Qi Yu quarreled for a while, glanced at each other, and sat down quietly.

It was night, Tang Qing and Wu Xinlian were huddled in a quilt, saying that it was a quilt, but it was just a thin blanket to cover it. Because Wu Xinlian didn't bring any luggage, let alone bed sheets and bedding, Tang's mother instructed Tang Qing to divide half of the bed for Wu Xinlian.

I don't know if it's because I can't adapt to changing beds, or because there is one more person around me, Tang Qing couldn't sleep when he tossed and turned on the bed, and was counting the sheep with his face up, when he heard Wu Xinlian's voice next to him: "Sister Xiaoqing, you can't sleep either, why don't we talk for a while." "

Tang Qing was silent for a few seconds and said, "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

"I know you all don't like me, you, Brother Qi Yu, and Brother Tang Pei, if it weren't for Aunt Tang's insistence on keeping me, I wouldn't be able to go on the road with you at all. Wu Xinlian said word by word.

Tang Qing didn't know what to say at this time, saying that it wasn't like this, but they really didn't want to take her with them, but saying to someone's face that it was like this, Tang Qing's heart was not so wide.

"But don't worry, I'm not a dead-faced person, I won't pester your family, when I get to the capital, I'll find a place to go alone, the capital is so big, there is no place for me. Wu Xinlian closed her eyes after speaking, but thought to herself, "That's right, it's more convenient for me to act alone, although their family seems to have a good character, but who knows what they will do when they see that I have use value in the future, and when I get to the capital, I will go separately from them, and I have to break out of the world in the capital to see Brother Mingyue."

In the dark, Tang Qing didn't know why he was a little sad.
