Chapter 12: A Bowl of Dumplings

The Li family.

Li Xiuqin sent dumplings, and left without saying a few words, Mrs. Li didn't look down on this bowl of dumplings, no matter how hard the days are, there is also white noodles to eat at the New Year's meal, Mrs. Li only thinks that her daughter's family eats white flour dumplings, and it is right to honor herself with a bowl, until her grandson pinched one and put it in his mouth, calling it delicious, and then he realized that something was wrong.

"Mom, look at this dumpling, why is it stuffed with meat?" Sun Guiying grabbed her son and bit the remaining half of the dumplings, pulled them open and took a closer look.

"How is it possible, where can the third family afford to eat meat, last time I took her sauce elbow and couldn't wait to cry my father and call my mother ......", Mrs. Li said as she took a closer look, and after seeing the filling inside, her voice stopped abruptly.

She took a small half of the dumpling and put it in her mouth, chew it, chew it, it's really fragrant!

"Grease? And put a lot of lard! Mrs. Li is sure, otherwise it would not be so fragrant, and I don't know how much better it is than her own dumplings.

"Really? I'll taste ......" Li Xiulan was about to stretch out her hand when she heard this, and was suddenly frightened by a scream: "Woo! It's mine! My dumplings! It's all mine! Wow......"

Mrs. Li's subconscious behavior angered Li Xiaowei, as the only precious grandson of the Li family, if anyone dares to snatch food from his mouth, it is the opposite, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy will cry if he doesn't agree with him.

Mrs. Li hurriedly compensated, "Xiaowei is good, grandma doesn't rob it, no one will give it food, it's all Xiaowei's." She hurriedly pushed a bowl of dumplings in front of her grandson, and Li Xiulan had to retract her hand stupidly.

Daughter-in-law Sun Guiying asked while coaxing her son: "Mom, didn't you say that the third sister's house didn't have anything when you went back?" Why is there still meat? ”

Mrs. Li also wondered: "Xu Rujiao's dead girl is put out for me, isn't there something hidden?" ”

"Sanya runs out every day these days", Li Xiulan thought for a while and said, "Mom, what did you say she did?" ”

Mrs. Li paused, she naturally couldn't think of Xu Rujiao's purpose, but she didn't think about it at all.

"Since she can send this bowl of meat dumplings, there must be more at home", Sun Guiying said with a little dissatisfaction, "Mom, look at Xiaowei, the food is so fragrant, our family can't eat such meat dumplings." ”

Li Xiaowei was gobbling up one bite at a time, for fear that someone would rob him again, and none of the elders present would let him, and everyone took it for granted.

Li Xiulan looked greedy, but she knew that Li Xiaowei was the eyes of the old lady, and it was impossible to snatch food from his mouth, so she said: "If you want me to say let's go to the third sister's house now, she is a girl, and she should honor our parents if she has any delicious food." ”

"What the fourth sister said is reasonable", Sun Guiying echoed, "Mom, you should hurt Xiaowei." ”

Mrs. Li looked at the dumplings, and then at the grandson with an oily face that she had eaten, and stood up: "Go now, go!" ”

"Mom, I'm with you." Li Xiulan immediately followed.

The mother and daughter walked to the door, and met the old man Li and Li Baogen, father and son, who came back from setting off firecrackers. ”

"Go to my third sister's house" Li Xiulan said about the dumplings like this, and Old Man Li immediately pulled his face: "What's the trouble for the New Year?" Get back. ”

"I'll go and see and I'll be back." Although Mrs. Li is powerful, when she really encounters Old Man Li, she doesn't dare to resist too much.

"See? Look, didn't the third child send dumplings? Not enough for you? ”

"But Dad, the third sister ...... her"

"And you, if you are not at your own house for the New Year, what's the matter with running to your mother's house when you see the sky? Hurry home! ”

Li Xiulan glanced at her mother, walked past her father and went back to her house.

Several sisters of the Li family, except for the second Li Xiurong, who is married far away, the rest are looking for their in-laws in the village, Li Xiulan is even more with her mother's family, and she loves to run to her mother's house when she has nothing to do, especially on days like the New Year, she can go back to her mother's house to cook whatever is delicious.

Although Mrs. Li failed to go out, she was still worried about this in her heart, Li Xiuqin was a piece of meat that fell from her body, she gave birth to her and raised her, she should naturally honor herself, and Xiaowei is the only incense of the Li family, and she should give her baby grandson anything delicious.

The Xu family, no one knows about Li Xiuqin's delivery of dumplings.

The family is poor, although Xu Rujiao has earned money this year, but she didn't have time to buy new clothes for her family when it was too late, but for the New Year, there must be something new.

Needless to say, as a bride to be married, she also bought a new dress, and she wore one on the first day of the Lunar New Year; Xu Rujiao's new head flower, baby for so many days, is finally willing to take it out and wear it today; Xu Guangshi wore a new pair of shoes, which Li Xiuqin had made before, but they were just double clip shoes, which would be worn a little early.

"It's just a scene, anyway, the first year of junior high school doesn't go out." Xu Guangshi smiled and put the new shoes on the corner of the kang, cherishing them tightly.

Li Xiuqin wore a new pair of socks by herself, and cut and resewed several pairs of socks that could not be broken again.

As for Xu Rujiao, she changed into a new pair of pants, which was the eldest sister's previous clothes, and she couldn't wear them anymore, so Li Xiuqin changed them, so they were the little girl's new clothes.

The three sisters have always been like this, the eldest sister wore it, changed it to the two younger sisters and then wore it, it was really bad and couldn't be worse, Li Xiuqin also had to make small vests, small handkerchiefs and the like according to the materials of the clothes, and make the best use of them.

"Mom, after the New Year, let's go to the city to buy clothes." Xu Rujiao proposed, "Buy a new pair of cotton shoes for Dad, you also buy a new clothes, and the eldest sister and the second sister ......"

"What new clothes to buy after the New Year", Li Xiuqin disagreed, "The money has to be kept to buy food, and besides, when your eldest sister gets married, there are still more places to spend it." ”
