Lunch is completed with the joint efforts of the women of the family, and after lunch, it is time to prepare for the evening dumplings. Today is a day of reunion, and the Guan family's private restaurant is also thriving. The couplet door god blessing word pasted before, as well as the red lanterns hanging high everywhere today, make this place still a New Year's atmosphere.

It is the first time for Zhen Meili to make rice balls. In the past, they were all bought and eaten, and everyone didn't know how to make them, just for an atmosphere, let's make a meal of rice balls together, hoping that the family can be reunited this year.

Everyone was busy, and from time to time they heard the voices of mothers shouting.

"Beautiful, the filling of the dumplings will be handed over to you. ”

"Hao Shuai, help me get some water, I have to add some water on this side. ”

"Ah, I can't do anything else, it's okay to help chop the stuffing. ”

Zhen Meili was so busy that she couldn't see Ah Ba being an idler next to her, taking Xue'er and Honey around, and stealing something to eat from time to time.

There are many types of glutinous rice balls prepared by everyone, including sweet and salty, black sesame, bean paste, jujube paste, peanuts, five kernels, cashew nuts, chocolate, barbecued pork, and lean meat.

Ah Ba was arrested by Zhen Meimei, so she called Guan Yi and Hao Shuai together. Some of the fillings that need to be heated first are fried by Zhen Meimei, and Ah Ba and they are responsible for crushing.

The mothers are in charge of mixing the dough, and the dough of various colors slowly takes shape. A total of seven colors of dough are prepared, and there are eight kinds of white dough, and white is used for the meat filling because it is salty. Color the dough with colored fruits and vegetables such as spinach juice, pumpkin, purple potato, carrot, red heart dragon fruit, etc., and you can get a variety of colored dough.

"Wow, these are so beautiful. "The dough of all colors is really beautiful when put together. Ah Ba watched the red and purple dough take shape, and felt how boring it was to chop the meat here.

"You said that you are not troublesome, why do you spend so much effort to eat a rice ball. ”

As soon as Yang Zhenguo, Aba's father, got off the chessboard, and the activity moved to the kitchen. Over there, a few of their old men were playing chess, and it was deserted. When I went to the kitchen, everyone was busy and lively.

"What do you know, this Lantern Festival was originally a festival of family reunion, look at how good and lively the atmosphere of our rice balls is together. ”

Wang Xiuying saw that her old man ran over and said cool things to discourage everyone's enthusiasm, so she softly went back.

"That's it, Lao Yang, you came just in time, go and call those old men over, and everyone will come together. ”

Mother Jia saw that the preparations were almost done, and it was time to wrap the dumplings, which was not technical, just rubbing a ball, simply calling everyone over, and everyone would do it together.

"It would be nice if Xing'er's kid was here, he would definitely like it when it was so lively. ”

Thinking of Xing'er staying alone in the space, Jia's mother couldn't help but think.

In fact, Xing'er has been watching everyone's lively dumplings through Zhen Meili, and Zhen Meili will tell him what he is doing from time to time. Xing'er also said that she wanted Zhen Meili to bring him some glutinous rice balls to eat in the space.

When Yang Zhenguo called Zhen's father and them over, everyone had already started to make dumplings.

Take a small piece of dough and knead it round and press it flat, thick in the middle and thin around it, take a small piece of filling and put it in the middle, then tighten the dough dough and tighten it, and then knead it round, and a rice ball is completed.

"Oh, what are you, what a deformed rice ball, haha. ”

Zhen Meili pointed to the messy and shapeless rice balls in Hao Shuai's hand, and laughed at him unkindly. may be too hard, when Hao Shuai's glutinous rice balls were closed, the other end was squeezed and the other end was sealed, but the stuffing could not be stuffed back. He took another little bit of noodles and tried to hide the stuffing.

Hao Shuai looked at his own rice balls, and then looked at other people's, and couldn't help but dislike it.

"Then look at Ahma, the bag is bigger than my fist. ”

It's not enough to be embarrassed by yourself, so I looked around and pulled Ah Ba into the water.

"Hey, my silly girl, it's strange that your dumplings can be cooked, and they're about to catch up with the big buns. ”

was said by Hao Shuai, everyone also looked at Ah Ba, Wang Xiuying couldn't bear to look at the rice balls wrapped by her daughter, and even his father's big old man was better than hers.

"My dumplings are big, and there are a lot of fillings, so it's a lot of fun to eat. Ah Ba said unconvinced.

"I don't know if it's enjoyable, but I know it's not easy to cook. ”

Zhen Meili also laughed at her.

"It's okay, Ahba, I think this glutinous rice ball must be the most delicious. They must be jealous that you can wrap the dumplings so big and so round. ”

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was besieged by everyone, Guan Yi couldn't help but speak out to relieve Ah Ba.

"Guan Yi, it seems that you still understand me, you are so good. ”

"Yes, your family is really good, so hurry up and wrap a few more big rice balls to comfort him. ”

"Uh......"

I didn't expect to be betrayed by my good brother, hearing Hao Shuai say this, Ah Ba also quickly nodded in agreement, Guan Yi felt that there was nothing to love.

"Hahaha......"

"Hehe......"

"Oh, you are self-inflicted, you shall not live. ”

Everyone was amused by Guan Yi's petrified appearance, and the kitchen was full of laughter and excitement for a while. It's a beautiful life.

Tonight, because of the lanterns, everyone ate the rice balls early and prepared to go around the street. These days, these traditional events are becoming less and less, and now that they will be held, everyone still wants to participate in them.

Mr. Guan was a little older, so he didn't go to join in the excitement, stayed at home to drink tea, and chatted with the guests of the restaurant.

Zhen Meili and the others scattered separately and went to the street one-on-one. Before leaving, Mother Jia pulled Zhen Meili to the side in the corner.

"Beautiful, you bring Xing'er out, and your dad and I will take him around in a while, such a lively child will definitely like it. ”

"Mom, you're so nice. ”

Zhen Meili didn't expect that Mother Jia really regarded Xing'er as a member of the family, and she couldn't forget him at any time.

"No, I just like this kid. Besides, I don't need any two-person world with your father, husband and wife. Romantic, shopping with children is more enjoyable. ”

"Okay, I'll bring Xing'er out now, and you guys will come out after everyone leaves. ”

"Okay, we'll be careful. When the transfer is over, we will go back directly, and you can drive the car back by yourself. ”

Zhen Meili brought Xing'er out of the space, and he was also very happy to come out to play. Holding Jia's mother's hand, she smiled happily.

"What's wrong?"

Saying goodbye to Jia's mother and Xing'er, Zhen Meili came to Hao Shuai's side, and everyone else had already left, leaving Hao Shuai and Zhen's father still at the door. Seeing Zhen Meili coming, Hao Shuai asked with concern.

"It's nothing, my mother explained me something, said to go home directly in a while, and asked me to drive the car back. Dad, Mom is waiting for you over there, and we'll go first. ”

"Okay, stay safe and have fun. ”

"Got it, so do you. ”

Waving goodbye to Zhen's father, Zhen Meili took Hao Shuai's arm and left with Xue'er and Honey.
