So when I came back this time, I quickly played with a group of children.

And Chu Shan followed Grandma Xu and Mother Xu to the kitchen to prepare noodles to make dumplings.

I don't know if it's the habit of the Xu family, or the habit of the orphanage, to eat dumplings during the New Year.

It was still early, but I couldn't bear to make the whole orphanage eat, so a few people started early.

Do it in advance, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, chat, talk, make dumplings, and make a meal easily.

The work of mixing noodles was naturally handed over to Xu's mother, while Chu Shan prepared the dumpling filling.

Wait for the noodles and stuffing to be ready, and then officially start moving.

Although Grandma Xu is old, her hands and feet are sharp, Chu Shan and Xu's mother make dumplings, and they can't catch up with Grandma Xu's fast dough rolling.

Chu Shan looked at the piled up of dumpling wrappers in front of him, and instantly collapsed.

She couldn't help but laugh and put a dumpling wrapped in her hand on the board, and said to Grandma Xu, "Grandma Xu, why are you moving so fast?" I can't even catch up with you. ”

Mother Xu's movements are not slow, but she can't resist Grandma Xu, who has been crawling in the kitchen since she was a child and already has her own cooking style.

So when Chu Shan was rushing, she wasn't much better.

However, she was not as coquettish as Chu Shan, she just had a smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes lingered on Chu Shan and Grandma Xu, and the speed of making dumplings in her hands did not decrease.

Grandma Xu has liked Chu Shan since she was a child, and Chu Shan's cooking skills are still taught by her.

This will hear Chu Shan's soft and weak voice, just like when she was a child, when she encounters her own incomparability, she loves to be coquettish, and her eyebrows and eyes are full of kind smiles in an instant.

She slowed down the action of rolling the dough in her hand, and said very dotingly: "We Shanshan can't catch up, so grandma rolls slowly, wait for Shanshan, okay?" ”

That's what Chu Shan wanted, and immediately replied crisply: "Okay!" ”

Seeing the smile on Chu Shan's face, Mother Xu, who had not spoken, stayed on Chu Shan's face with a look full of approval for a few seconds, and then lowered her head and continued to make dumplings.

Grandma Xu's dough rolling speed slowed down, and the speed of the three of them making dumplings also relaxed, talking and laughing, but she didn't feel the passage of time.

After a while, the dumplings had already wrapped several boards, and Chu Shan kept an eye on the time when she was laughing and chatting with Grandma Xu and Mother Xu.

When she felt that the time was almost up, she immediately stopped what she was doing.

After saying hello to Grandma Xu and Mother Xu, she brought a dumpling on a chopping board and took it to the pot to cook first.

After the huge and plump dumplings were cooked out of the pot, she put the food boxes she brought, put the dumplings into them one by one, and served them with sauces, and then took out the food boxes and gave them to Cheng Ye and asked him to send them to Shen Mufei.

Of course, as the New Year's dinner of the orphanage, Cheng Ye will naturally not be missing.

After all, it was hard to be a driver for them back and forth, so when Chu Shan loaded the food box, he deliberately packed two servings.

When she handed it to Cheng Ye, she specially instructed: "Uncle He, these two copies are the same, one for you and one for the big devil." ”

"I wish you a Happy New Year in advance."

Cheng Ye and Chu Shan are also familiar, usually Chu Shan has delicious food, and often gives Cheng Ye a little, so Cheng Ye did not postpone this box of dumplings.

Saying Happy New Year, Cheng Ye took the food box and left.

Watching Cheng Ye leave, Chu Shan went back to continue making dumplings.

When I entered the kitchen, I found that Xu's mother was alone.

Chu Shan was a little puzzled, and was about to ask a question, but Xu's mother took the first step to answer for her.

"Mom went back to the manor, and I'll come back later."

"There are also people who eat there, and the food money is all paid, all at once. If it has been handed over for one year, it cannot be delayed. ”

It's not unusual for someone to come to dinner on the estate, but it's a one-time thing. Paying for a year's food is shocking.

Chu Shan couldn't help but ask, "Who is it?" How can you pay for food for so long. ”

"I was going to tell you about it." Xu's mother didn't stop making dumplings, and while making dumplings, she said, "It's the group of people who came to inspect the project a few months ago." ”

"You asked me to ask you what kind of project they were working on, and I paid attention to it, but they did a good job of keeping it secret, and there has been no news."

This Chu Shan knew that if Mother Xu noticed it, she would definitely tell her.

There has been no news for several months, most of which have not been heard.

But this will be brought up, is it......

"Got news?" Chu Shan took a dumpling wrapper and looked up at Xu's mother.

Mother Xu saw that Chu Shan was concerned, and she didn't sell much guanzi and hung her appetite, so she replied directly: "There is news." ”

"It's like developing a tourist attraction in Unity Town."

"Tourist attractions?" Chu Shan's hand to make dumplings paused: "What place?" ”

"At the foot of that hill south of town."

Mother Xu continued to make dumplings, and her tone was very relaxed: "Actually, I didn't hear about it, but I saw it." ”

"That group of people is moving a lot, they are batch of places, and they are engaged in development, and they don't know what they are doing at first, but after a few months, by the time this year is closed, what they are engaged in has already been molded."

"Now people with a discerning eye know that this is a tourist attraction development."

It is good to engage in development and construction in Tuanjie Town, at least it has driven the economy of the town, so Xu's mother is very happy.

While being happy, he didn't forget to ask Chu Shan: "Shanshan, you have been paying attention to them before, what are you for?" ”

Tourist attractions, not resorts.

I can't say what it feels like, but it's a little bit of a loss, but it's generally happy.

Hearing Xu's mother ask, she replied with a smile: "No, a friend said that he wanted to come here to open a resort, so before you said that someone here was inspecting the project and preparing to engage in development, I thought it was my friend." ”

"But whether it's a resort or a tourist attraction, it's good for our town."

Yes, it's all good, it's the same as her starting point.

Thinking about it like this, I feel a lot better, and even my smile is a lot more sincere.

Mother Xu heard Chu Shan say this, and also echoed: "Yes, it's all good." ”

"Our town is too poor, and if the town's economy is brought up, the children in the courtyard will have to suffer a lot."

Chu Shan smiled again, nodded, and said yes.

Now that the development of the project in Unity Town has come to an end, there is no need to look forward to and worry about it, Chu Shan has completely put her heart down.

Looking at the dumpling wrappers that had not yet been wrapped, Chu Shan didn't plan to talk about this topic, so he put all his thoughts on making dumplings.

Mother Xu was not idle, and her speed was comparable to Chu Shan's dumpling-making.

The speed of the two of them making dumplings increased, and soon, the dumpling wrappers left by Grandma Xu when she left were finished by the two.

After wrapping the dumpling skin, there were still a lot of noodles left, so Xu's mother took on the job of rolling the dough, and Chu Shan continued to make dumplings.

When Xu's mother was rolling the dough, she said to Chu Shan as if chatting: "Shanshan, you have grown up, the speed of making dumplings has caught up with me!" ”

Chu Shan looked up when she heard the sound and saw Mother Xu looking at her with a smile in her eyes.

After watching it for two seconds, Chu Shan immediately understood what Mother Xu meant, stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "It's grown up." ”

In fact, it was false to say that the speed of making dumplings can't catch up with Grandma Xu, she is just afraid that the speed of making dumplings with Xu's mother is too fast, and the speed of Grandma Xu's dough rolling can't keep up.

In order not to make the old man tired, he deliberately said that he couldn't catch up, so that everyone's speed slowed down.

This will not strain the wrist, but also give Grandma Xu, who has loved the kitchen all her life, the joy of rolling dough.

Mother Xu saw through Chu Shan's purpose just now, and she also knew that Chu Shan, this girl, had always been caring, and she didn't want Chu Shan's purpose to be disappointed, so she kept holding back.

And this will be said, but I don't want this girl's kindness to be buried like this.

Not only this one, but also another thing, she has been holding it in her heart for a long time, and she has never found a chance to say it.

This would be just the right time, so she didn't plan to hold back, and after a while, she stopped rolling the dough and looked at Chu Shan to speak seriously.

"Shanshan, let me ask you something, about Da Bao'er, you ......"

"I'm going to adopt him!"

Chu Shan's words were picked up without waiting for Mother Xu to finish speaking.

And this matter is also the one thing she wants to do when she comes back today.

She had thought a lot about Da Bao'er before.

There are too many children in the orphanage, and it is too tiring to rely on Grandma Xu and Mother Xu.

It's impossible to help adopt a lot, but she still has the ability to adopt one.

Da Bao'er was brought back by her, and it was the best choice to take Da Bao'er in.

Although there are many children in the orphanage who are suitable for adoption, Da Baoer is the most suitable one for her.

From the time she brought Da Bao'er back, from the time she left the orphanage and stepped into society, from Da Bao'er's illness, from her determination to treat Da Bao'er, to give Da Bao'er a healthy childhood, and even a lifetime.

She has, and has never changed, to treat Da Bao'er as her own brother and raise her.

Mother Xu is also concerned about this issue, Da Bao'er has not returned to the orphanage for a long time and has been staying by Chu Shan's side.

So for his adoption procedures, it has been difficult to handle.

If it is said that it is to be adopted by others, this person is not in the orphanage, let Chu Shan adopt it, and she didn't get the letter, so Xu's mother has been pretending to be in her heart and never forgetting it.

This will get Chu Shan's approval, and she didn't make much waves in her heart, but her eyes were slightly red.

Mother Xu looked at Chu Shan and said seriously: "It's Da Bao'er's blessing, he is a blessed child, and you are also a blessed child." ”

"You will all be safe and healthy, and your life will be smooth."

Every child in the orphanage is the heart of Xu's mother, Chu Shan is, and so is Da Bao'er.

Seeing them have a good home is the hope and long-cherished wish of Xu's mother in her life.

Chu Shan didn't speak, she could fully understand Mother Xu's mood at the moment, knowing that no matter how much she said, she didn't silently accept Mother Xu's blessings.

"Da Bao'er's adoption procedures, let's do it today." Mother Xu eased her mood and began to get down to business: "You're going to be busy next, maybe you won't have time to come over." ”

"After the New Year, Da Bao'er will also go to school, and there will be no time at that time."

For this, Chu Shan also had such an idea, so she didn't have the slightest objection, and when she heard the words, she just responded softly: "Just do what Mother Xu said." ”

The news that Chu Shan was going to adopt Da Bao'er soon spread in the Happy Paradise Orphanage, and many playmates who had a good time with Da Bao'er came to hug him goodbye with tears in their eyes, and agreed to come back to meet more often in the future, and not to forget each other.

The friendship between children is in every word.

Chu Shan looked at Da Bao'er and them, as if she had seen her own childhood.

At that time, she also had good playmates, and when those playmates were adopted, she would also say goodbye to her playmates seriously, and then seriously tell her playmates that she must come to see her often in the future and not forget her.

However, the playmates who were adopted away were basically never seen again.

There are a lot of people who played well before, and I can't seem to remember the names, but I seem to remember one or two.
