The Jiang family also had to eat dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, but the work of making dumplings was no longer handed over to Mother Feng, but the family gathered in front of the TV, division of labor and cooperation, Father Jiang and their men had great strength, so they were responsible for rolling the dumpling skin, and Mother Jiang and they gathered around Grandma Jiang to make dumplings.

Ling Xiaoxiao leaned aside and found that except for Grandma Jiang, Mother Jiang, the dumplings of the three of them were all wrapped strangely, and she knew that no one would know at a glance.

At this time, Aunt Jiang was already too busy to take care of herself, and she had no time to find fault, and she had a very hard time every Chinese New Year's Eve every year, and this year was already good, and Mother Jiang and Ling Xiaoxiao helped her share Grandma Jiang's eyes.

"Xiaoxiao, your dumplings are like little ingots, it's so beautiful." Mother Jiang pulled her fingers, the side of the dumpling was torn again, and the dumpling filling inside was about to fall out again, she hurriedly remedied, and when she turned her head, she saw Ling Xiaoxiao's dumplings neatly placed aside.

Ling Xiaoxiao smiled, with a hint of nostalgia in her smile: "My dad likes to eat dumplings, so in winter, my mom will wrap a lot of dumplings and freeze them outside, and when my dad comes back from work, he can take some into the house to cook when he is hungry, which is delicious and convenient." My mom couldn't do it alone, so I helped her pack it together. ”

Even in this life, such a memory is a little distant, Ling Xiaoxiao looked at the dumplings on the curtain, but what appeared in front of her was the appearance of Ling's father eating dumplings with satisfaction.

I really miss them.

Grandma Jiang wrapped a dumpling and stretched out her hand to put it next to Ling Xiaoxiao's wrapped: "It's very cold in winter over there in your house, I heard that you don't even need a refrigerator in winter, things can be put outside directly, and they can freeze in a while." ”

"Yes," Ling Xiaoxiao retracted the longing in her eyes: "Winter is very cold, and if you wear less clothes, you will freeze through after a short while." In the winter, we rarely go out. ”

Ling Xiaoxiao's mother Jiang particularly agreed with this, she was born in Province A, and her understanding and feelings for that land were deeper than Ling Xiaoxiao's, and when she heard Ling Xiaoxiao say this, she nodded busily: "Yes." Over there, when the water drips and freezes in winter, I have worn that thick coat for many years, and I haven't had a chance to wear it this year, and I'm still a little unaccustomed to it. ”

For Mama Jiang. It doesn't make a difference to her where the hospital is, and the ward and operating table still occupy the largest proportion in her life, but after all, Province A is her hometown, and she is in her life. Most of the memories are there, and just one topic can bring back her full of memories.

"You two," Grandma Jiang couldn't help but smile when she heard Ling Xiaoxiao and Mother Jiang's exact tone: "It's really a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I know that you are good there, and if I have a chance in the future, I will take my wife and son back to have a look, let us also taste the big fish by the river, and see the famous ice lantern." ”

"Okay. We can leave at any time when we have time, our house in Bincheng has not been sold, and we didn't worry about the place to live in the past, just right. Mother Jiang watched Ling Xiaoxiao's action of making dumplings with beauty, and began to look a little like what she learned.

"Brother and sister, why didn't your house sell? Don't you plan to go back in the future? Second Aunt Jiang listened for a long time, and finally found an opportunity to interject.

"Zizhuo's child won't let him sell, saying that he will have a place to live when he goes back in the future." When Jiang's mother said this, she also glanced at Ling Xiaoxiao: "That child originally said that he would accompany Xiaoxiao back during the winter and summer vacations. ”

Mother Jiang sighed, the plan really hasn't changed quickly. When Jiang Zizhuo comes back, it will be time for them to graduate. Where will there be winter and summer vacations?

Feeling that everyone's eyes fell on her for a moment, Ling Xiaoxiao only joked: "He doesn't have time, so grandma will accompany me." ”

Grandma Jiang smiled: "Okay, you will accompany me then." I'll be with you. ”

After the topic passed, several people chatted again, and they carefully avoided Province A and Jiang Zizhuo, and while watching the Spring Festival Gala, they were looking for words at random.

At midnight, children began to go out to set off fireworks and firecrackers in the alley. There was a crackling sound outside from time to time, and Ling Xiaoxiao followed the Jiang family brothers and scurried around in the alley.

The fireworks alternately bloomed the most beautiful colors in the sky, and when they were clearly extinguished, she suddenly thought of the Chinese New Year's Eve of the first year of high school, when the two were not familiar and did not say a few words, but Jiang Zizhuo gave himself the most beautiful New Year's gift in that New Year.

Just thinking about him, the mobile phone in her pocket suddenly vibrate, she looked at the call, and staggered a few steps with the Jiang brothers to pick up the phone.

"Happy New Year." A deep voice sounded, like fireworks in the ears, falling into the heart.

"Happy New Year. Brother Jiang and I were walking around the alley outside. Ling Xiaoxiao kicked the pebbles at her feet.

"I hear your voices." Jiang Zizhuo's voice was a little brisk, but his voice was too hoarse.

"Are you sick?" Ling Xiaoxiao frowned, it hadn't been long since it had passed, was this not suitable for the weather over there?

"No, it's just that the pressure of studying is relatively high, and I don't have much time to sleep every day." It's not much, he had just finished the night the day before, and he hadn't slept for more than thirty hours in a row, but these complaints to Ling Xiaoxiao would only make her more worried.

However, he still wanted to listen to her voice, listen to her voice, and wash away the fatigue on his body.

As if she knew what Jiang Zizhuo was thinking, Ling Xiaoxiao just talked about what happened around her during this time, said that Xia Ziqian might find him a brother-in-law, talked about her experience in reading books in the past few days, and also said what Grandma Jiang said when making dumplings before.

The two of them were like before, talking and listening one by one, only separated by phone, but as if they had never been separated.

"Zizhuo, come in for a meeting." Ling Xiaoxiao was about to go back to play mahjong with Brother Jiang and them later, when she heard an unfamiliar male voice from the earpiece: "I'm urging you, go to the meeting, I'm going back to kill the Quartet." ”

"Okay, I'll call you again when I have time."

Jiang Zizhuo hung up the phone very simply, and Ling Xiaoxiao listened to the beeping sound on the phone, and was stunned for a long time.

"What do you think, let's go, it's time to go home and eat dumplings, wait a minute, let's talk about it, you can't cry if you lose it all." Second Brother Jiang returned from the past, looked at her carefully, and deliberately made her happy.

"I don't know who will lose, so I'll give you this first." Second Brother Jiang has a familiar personality, and one afternoon, Ling Xiaoxiao was already very familiar with him, and he was not so shy about talking.

Second Brother Jiang wanted to say hard how his card skills were first-class, but when he thought that he had been won by Jiang Zizhuo and didn't even keep the New Year's money, he could only hum and say: "Then, then let's see it then, but, let me tell you, my eldest brother and younger brother don't play well, it's really not good, let's cooperate."
