After coming out of Nan Zhuang's house, Tong Shuihe drove Huilan home, and when he passed by the free market in front of his house, he bought some meat and fennel to prepare dumplings for the evening; I also bought some tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, and some cooked food, and went home.

They first came to Tong Shuihe's parents, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, and the whole family will have dinner together in the evening. Originally, Tong Shuihe still wanted to get a table of dishes, but they had almost eaten at noon, and they couldn't eat it at night, so they decided to eat dumplings, and then get some cold dishes and drink some red wine.

As soon as they entered the house, they let their parents rest and the two of them were busy with their own work. First, the fennel is picked together, then the fennel is washed and cut by Whelan, and then the meat is chopped; Tong water lotus and noodles, then wash and chop celery, wash cucumbers and tomatoes. After Huilan mixed the filling, the two of them began to make dumplings again, Huilan rolled the skin, and the children's water purse, and soon wrapped a large curtain, about a hundred.

Then, Tong Shuihe began to make cold dishes: cold tomatoes, yellow light, celery peanuts, and cut half a sauce elbow, and the four cold dishes were quickly ready.

Whelan was in charge of cooking the dumplings, and fifty dumplings were put into the pot, and after the water in the pot was boiled for three, the dumplings bulged. She scooped the dumplings into three plates, and Tong Shuihe brought them to the table. Four people sat down around a small round table.

Shui He's father took a bottle of red wine, took four goblets, poured half a glass of red wine into each cup and handed it to everyone, and then said, "We didn't do it today, let the two children cook a meal, and we will enjoy the happiness." Today is August 15, and we have a reunion dinner together. Although Lanlan's home is in other places, this is your home in Beizhou, and we are all a family to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together. Shui He's dad picked up the goblet, "Let's touch the cup, congratulations to everyone on being healthy and happy!" Cheers! The four of them touched the goblets together, and there was a crisp and pleasant sound.

Shuihe's mother took a sip of red wine and said: "People say that red wine is delicious, but I can't get used to it, I always feel that the sweetness is too great." This wine is good for the body, so you should drink it regularly, even if it is to promote health! ”

"This is the Great Wall dry red, it's delicious!" Tong Shuihe said very seriously, "Many people love to drink foreign red wine, as long as there are foreign words on the wine bottle, it is delicious, in fact, many foreign red wines are very ordinary, not as good as Chinese red wine." However, the production of red wine is still very good, and this cannot be denied. ”

"I'm the kind of person my aunt said, I just think that red wine tastes better than white wine and beer, at least it's smooth when swallowed, not choking like white wine, and I don't want beer to smell like horse pee. But this red wine has stamina, so it can't be drunk openly. Huilan said and picked up the wine glass, "Let's touch the glass again, I wish my uncle and aunt good health and smooth work!" As he spoke, the four wine glasses touched again.

Shuihe's mother beckoned everyone to eat dumplings, and then she also took a bite and said, "Well, this dumpling tastes very good, and the filling of Lanlan is very good!" The last wrap was also delicious. ”

Huilan hurriedly waved his hand: "It's not that I mix the filling well, but the fennel basically doesn't need to adjust the filling, and the fragrance of fennel is very rushing, which can overwhelm the taste of a qiē fresh seasoning." Therefore, there is no need to put fresh seasonings in fennel filling, as long as it is wrapped, it is delicious. Of course, if anyone doesn't like fennel at all, that's another story! ”

A few people laughed when they heard this. Shui He's father took over the conversation and said: "This Lan Lan is quite good at fennel, and she is very honest. That's pretty much what it means, but it's still nice to have some garlic in the filling, because the garlic flavor and fennel flavor combine to make it even more fragrant. ”

"Really?" Whelan was surprised, "I'll try it next time and see how it goes?" ”

"No need for next time, you can try it now," Shuihe's father smiled, "You take a few cloves of garlic and mash them, and then take the dumplings and dip them to eat, and you can experience it immediately." ”

"Okay, I'll try." Whelan hurriedly went to the kitchen to smash the garlic, and came back with a small plate of garlic after a while, "I'm done smashing, is it like this?" ”

Shui He's father said, "You pour some cold boiled water into the garlic juice, and then dip it and eat it." ”

Whelan went to the kitchen and poured a little cold boiled water into the garlic juice and returned to his seat, then took the dumpling and dipped it in the garlic juice, then took a bite and said, "Hey, it's still so delicious." As he spoke, he handed the garlic sauce plate to Tong Shuihe.

Tong Shuihe also sandwiched a dumpling and dipped it in garlic juice, then ate the dumpling into his mouth, chewed it and said, "It's really delicious!" And it's not generally delicious. ”

Shuihe's father also sandwiched a dumpling, dipped it in garlic juice, and handed it to Shuihe's mother: "You can also taste it." After speaking, he sandwiched another dumpling, dipped it in garlic juice, and put it in his mouth.

Huilan was a little strange, so she asked, "Uncle, since you know that fennel-stuffed dumplings are delicious with garlic juice, why don't you usually eat them like this?" ”

Hahahaha, Shuihe's father smiled and said: "Because the dumplings are so delicious, they are delicious no matter how you eat them, so I don't bother to dip them in garlic juice anymore, and I usually eat two cloves of garlic instead." ”

Whelan nodded and said, "I know, every time I eat dumplings in the future, I will smash garlic." Several people laughed, and so did Whelan.

After eating, Huilan and Tong Shuihe returned to their residence. Whelan made a pot of tea, and the two sat on a small stool on the balcony drinking tea and looking at the moon. The night sky was clear tonight, there were no clouds, and the round moon was so bright that even the mountains inside the moon could be seen clearly.

At this time, Whelan remembered her parents, so she picked up her mobile phone and made a call home, but her mother answered: "Hey, who's it?" Is it Lan Lan? ”

"Hey, it's me, Mom, have you finished eating?" Speaking of this, Whelan snorted, "I'm not at home, and we can't have a reunion dinner." Whelan was a little sad, and paused before saying, "It's okay, I can go home in a few days, and let's have a reunion dinner at that time!" ”

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of reunion, if you can't reunite, it's best not to call, or send a text message and WeChat. As soon as you call, it will make people sad, because this is a call between the two places that cannot be reunited, and it is originally a separate greeting, do you say it can not make people sad?

"Okay, we'll be reunited in a few days." Whelan's mother promised, "Are you okay with your job?" ”

"Very good! Every day is very busy, and I have a sense of accomplishment, and my colleagues and leaders are also good, so don't worry! Whelan smiled and said, "How is my dad, does your stomach still hurt?" ”

"I'm more careful these days, it doesn't hurt much, let's take it slowly! Stomach problems are not easy to maintain, and it takes a long time to recuperate. Huilan's mother replied, "You don't have to worry about the family, we can do anything at home, the key is you!" You have to pay attention to everything, it's difficult to do anything when you're away from your family, so take care of yourself! Whelan said emotionally.

"I know, your daughter will be careful, don't worry!" Whelan was afraid that her mother would be sad and said calmly, "Okay, it's okay, then I'll hang up!" Bye! ”

Putting down the phone, Whelan covered her heart and closed her eyes for a while. Tong Shuihe said: "When the moon is at its fullest, making a phone call is very sad, it is really my parents not far away!" ”

Whelan heard what Tong Shuihe said: Parents are not far away, this sentence is too reasonable! Should I travel far in Northstate?
