After the two of them chatted a few words about calligraphy, Lu Shengnan asked Li Ruhan to choose a book from the bookcase and watch it in the living room, went to the kitchen to cook, opened the bag and saw that there was a bag of fruits, including cherries, grapes, and a few oranges, and in the other bag was half a chicken, a piece of tenderloin, and several kinds of vegetables.

After washing the fruit and putting together the fruit plate and taking it to the living room, Li Ruhan was looking at the book "Guiguzi Liutao" with relish, put down the fruit and asked him: "I remember last time you liked to drink chicken soup, cook a chicken soup, today is to welcome the New Year, my hometown is eating dumplings, I see you have bought tenderloin and parsley, how about eating dumplings filled with pork and celery?"

Li Ruhan was pleasantly surprised: "Shengnan actually knows how to make dumplings, but I didn't buy dumpling skins." ”

"I have flour at home, and it tastes better to make it myself, so I'll make both, and you eat some fruit first." ”

Back in the kitchen, Lu Shengnan first washed the chicken and put it in the purple casserole to cook the soup, then took out the flour from the cupboard, received the water and put it in the basin to wake up, and cut the tenderloin in half, finely chopped it into meat filling, put it in a large bowl, put in several spices, stirred clockwise and put it aside to taste;

Prepare in an orderly manner, clean up the countertop, put the unused vegetables and fruits in the bag into the refrigerator one by one, take out another panel and take out the dough from the stainless steel basin and knead it for a while, then divide it into two pieces of dough, one in the basin, continue to knead the piece on the panel, and then form a round strip, take a knife and cut into small pieces, pinch these small pieces round and flatten, and take out a delicate rolling pin from the drawer and roll it into a round dumpling wrapper.

Li Ruhan heard the voice in the kitchen in the living room, washed his hands and said with a smile I will make dumplings, two people roll out the skin and a bag, it is also very fast; Lu Shengnan's speed is faster, and the dumpling skin is a long row after a while, and Lu Shengnan also took out a pair of chopsticks to make dumplings together.

"Katsuo, why are you still rolling dumpling wrappers, and the speed is still so fast?"

"I used to eat dumplings on many festivals at home, and there were a lot of people in the family, and the speed of doing more was faster; I remember one year when I was young, rolling dumpling skin in the palm of my right hand was hot and painful, and I cried, but there was no way, only my mother and I could roll the skin at home, and my mother had to cook other dishes, so I learned to roll the dumpling skin with my left hand, and I could change hands when I was tired. ”

Seeing her chuckling and talking about things when he was a child, Li Ruhan's heart hurt slightly, he has lived a life of clothes to reach out for food and open his mouth since he was a child, and he couldn't imagine that Lu Shengnan would do many things at such a young age; he thought that the year he met Lu Shengnan was the most difficult day in his life, not that he didn't resent his father, but looking at Lu Shengnan in front of him, he still managed his life so well after so many experiences, and suddenly felt that the girl in front of him was like a ray of sunshine, and he could still bring warmth to himself after many years.

Lu Shengnan glanced at the dumplings he made, which were bulging and very cute, and said with a smile: "I can't see it, you also look good at making dumplings." ”

"When I was young, I loved to eat dumplings, and I only loved to eat what my mother made, which I learned with my mother at that time, and I still like to eat them, probably a way to miss my mother, many restaurants outside have dumplings, but I can no longer eat the taste of my childhood, and I rarely eat it, I didn't expect to be able to eat it on this day." ”

"Then you eat a few more in a while, the dumplings I made are very fragrant. Lu Shengnan didn't know how to comfort him, so he said mischievously.

"Of course, just smelling the dumpling fillings ticks my cravings. ”

The two of them chatted and worked at the same time, and the dumplings were put into the pot in less than half an hour, and Li Ruhan asked her: "How did the two of us do so much?"

"Oh, I've prepared a little more, put it in a crisper and you take it back and put it in the freezer, and cook it yourself when you don't want to cook it when you're late from work. ”

Li Ruhan was once again moved by the girl in front of her, she seemed alienated from everyone, but once she approached her, he would find more and more advantages of her, just like the carefulness at the moment, how could such a girl not make people excited; he could now understand why Xiao Rui came back to her after many years, Xiao Rui probably didn't know these advantages she had now, otherwise how could she give up such an excellent her.

Sitting at the dining table and looking at the busy figure in the kitchen, Li Ruhan was once again glad that he had promised to help his younger brother that day, and he later went to talk to Mr. Yu, knowing that Lu Shengnan really didn't want to contact him anymore, even if he could bring huge profits to her firm;

Brought the dumplings and chicken soup to the table, and took out the kimchi from the refrigerator, although it looked simple, Li Ruhan ate a lot, especially the dumplings were really fragrant, no worse than the taste made by his mother when he was a child, and he couldn't help but ask her how to make it.

Lu Shengnan smiled: "People in our hometown are mixing raw oil with dumpling filling, once when I was making green onion oil mixed with cold vegetables, I suddenly thought that mixing dumpling filling with cooked oil would be more fragrant, so I tried it, and it was really better than before; ”

"Katsuo, have you always been so careful?"

"Actually, it's nothing, just be more careful, I rarely eat out because I think the food I make with my heart seems to be better. ”

After eating, the two people went to the tea room, and Lu Shengnan said while making tea: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, there should be fireworks in a while, you can see it here." ”

After a while, there was a lingering fragrance of tea in the room, and the two of them talked about the tea ceremony again, and then talked about Zen; Li Ruhan felt as if he had returned to the time of that year, the difference was that at this time Lu Shengnan was sitting opposite him, so close to himself, he could touch her with his hand, and sighed with satisfaction in his heart, but there was another voice shouting: Not enough, this is not enough!

As he was chatting, Lu Shengnan's mobile phone rang, and after seeing that it was his mother who called, he said sorry to him and went to the living room to answer the phone, and came back after a while to sit down and smiled at Li Ruhan a little unnaturally.

"Katsuo, what's the matter? Can I help?"

smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's okay, my mother said that the day after tomorrow let me see someone, who is from our hometown." ”

Li Ruhan was a little puzzled, and when he saw that the people in his hometown were not like this, he asked a few more words.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Shengnan reluctantly spoke: "At my age, my family is nothing more than urging me to find a boyfriend to get married, especially my mother's tear offensive is really unbearable, saying that there is a person from our hometown the day after tomorrow, only one year older than me, and he is also single, it seems that the conditions are not bad, only looking for girls from our hometown, my mother asked me to go on a blind date." ”

Li Ruhan froze.

At this time, there were fireworks outside the window in the air, and the community was lively, and there were many adults and children in the square, and the night sky suddenly became gorgeous.

Looking at the time, the New Year has arrived, Lu Shengnan smiled and said, "Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

After being silent for a few minutes, Li Ruhan looked at Lu Shengnan and asked her: "Shengnan, the new year is coming, have you cleaned up your mood?"

Lu Shengnan blinked in confusion.

"Katsuo, if you are ready to accept someone into your life, I want to be this person. ”
