Chapter 21: The Child

"Daughter-in-law, did you make dumplings?" Seeing the delicate dumplings on the cutting board, Zhou Yi was a little surprised, he just went to his father's side for a while, and he didn't know if she had made so many dumplings in half an hour?

You know, the process of making dumplings can be troublesome, you have to knead the dough with the dough, and you have to chop the filling, even the wrapping also takes time!

"The Song family doesn't like me, I've grown so big, I haven't eaten a bite of dumplings, and now I just have flour, pork and vegetables at home, so I'll ......" In order to dispel the doubts in Zhou Yi's heart, Song Xi suddenly showed a look of grievance.

However, the little 'Song Xi' did not eat dumplings once in the Song family, that is, the Song family made dumplings during the New Year, but she couldn't even drink a mouthful of dumpling soup.

"Daughter-in-law, here, you don't have to have any worries, you can eat whatever you want in the future, and you can also tell me what you don't have at home." Looking at Song Xi's dark and shining eyes, Zhou Yi unconsciously fell into it.

He stretched out his hand and gently wiped off the white flour on Song Xi's brows and hair, she could eat whatever she had at home, and what she didn't have at home, as long as she wanted to eat it, he would definitely find a way to get it back.

Zhou Yi's actions made Song Xi's mood a little disorganized, and she was embarrassed to avoid his hand that helped to arrange her hair, but he took a step ahead and freed up a hand to wrap around her waist, so that she couldn't retreat.

Zhou Yi naturally saw that the little daughter-in-law was a little panicked, and the more panicked the little daughter-in-law, the happier he became, because the little daughter-in-law slowly took him to heart, even if the speed was very slow, but it was a good sign!

"Daughter-in-law, you sit down and rest first, and I'll cook dumplings." Zhou Yi helped Song Xi to sit down on the bench, and then began to boil water, and when the water was hot, he sprinkled some salt into it, and after the water boiled, he put the dumplings in.

Song Xi watched from the side, but she didn't expect Zhou Yi to cook seriously and good-looking, but she knew that even if men in the countryside in this era think that men do housework is a shameful thing, and they believe that those are women's things, even in modern times, there are still some men who think about the past and are unwilling to help their wives do a little housework.

So Zhou Yi is really good.

The dumplings were ready soon, and seeing Zhou Yi holding a bowl of dumplings, Song Xi hurriedly said, "Brother Yi, I just want ten dumplings, more soup." "She wants to try the dumpling soup well, whether it tastes good or not.

The two sat under the osmanthus tree and ate dumplings, Zhou Yi took a bite, and he found out that the pork in the dumpling filling was fresh pork, not bacon, but he remembered that they didn't buy fresh pork!

"Daughter-in-law, this pork ......"

Knowing what Zhou Yi wanted to know, Song Xi hurriedly said, "It was given to me by the beautiful sister in the guest house, I didn't expect it to stink after covering it for most of the day, and I couldn't let go of the weather, so I hurriedly wrapped dumplings, how about it, are the dumplings I wrapped delicious?" ”

"It's delicious, and my daughter-in-law has good craftsmanship." Zhou Yi took a bite and sighed while eating, the taste of the filling was really good, at least he couldn't make such a filling.

"It's Brother Yi's good grasp of the heat, that's why the dumplings are so delicious." Of course, Song Xi will not take the credit alone, this dumpling is a dumpling handmade by the employees in the supermarket, and it has nothing to do with her, she is just paying wages to employees!

Now the supermarket is coming with her, I don't know if it still exists in modern times, and I don't know what happened to those employees, could it be that she came here inexplicably, and the traces of life in modern times have been erased, and then no one remembers that she existed?

If that's the case, that's fine, at least those who know her and are really good to her won't be sad because of her sudden disappearance.

Song Xi's appetite is not very good now, he can't eat too many things, there are ten dumplings in the bowl, after eating six and drinking a few mouthfuls of soup, he can't eat anymore, and when he was about to give the dumplings to Zhou Yi, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Daughter-in-law, you eat slowly, I'll take a look." Zhou Yi reached out and touched Song Xi's hair, smiled at Song Xi, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard, if it was an inexplicable person, he wouldn't even let people in.

The little daughter-in-law needs to recuperate now, and he will not let any inconsequential people come over and disturb the little daughter-in-law's rest.

Zhou Yi walked over quickly, opened the courtyard door half a person wide, and saw two tattered children standing outside the door, and when Zhou Yi appeared, they were a little cramped and uneasy.

Most of the children in the village are tattered and dirty like this, because they are very naughty and restless, and no matter how clean they are, they will turn into mud monkeys in a few minutes.

Zhou Yi has no feelings for the children in the village.

But now that everyone has come to the door, he can't drive people away, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you knocking on the door?" ”

The little boy's face was slightly red, and he was a little overwhelmed in the face of the serious Uncle Zhou Yi, he raised his hands high, "Uncle Zhou Yi, we found some raspberries on the mountain, they are sweet and sour, and they are delicious, so we want to send some to the little aunt." ”

In fact, these two children are from the family next door to Zhou Yi's family, there is some distance between the two families, it takes about a minute or two to walk, they saw Zhou Yi and Song Xi go home at night, and saw that Song Xi could walk by himself, so they wanted to come over and meet the little aunt.

"You have a heart." Zhou Yi took a step to the side and let the two children come in, the little daughter-in-law is probably quite bored lying at home every day, and it is good to let the two children accompany her to relieve her boredom.

Although he is not familiar with these two children, he also knows that these two children are not bad, and if someone guides them well, they should not grow crooked in the future.

"Daughter-in-law, this is the little tree and flower next door, and they brought you raspberries." Zhou Yi led a man and a woman and two children back, took the raspberries in the little boy's hand, took them to the well, and washed them with water.

"Hello kids!" Song Xi smiled and greeted the two children, both of whom were very slender and thin, with no flesh on their faces, only a pair of big eyes that were particularly protruding, like aliens.

The clothes on her body were also patches, and there was still a trace of smell in the air, and the little girl's hair seemed to have not been washed for a long time, and it was clumpy.

Song Xi's hair is because Zhou Yi helps take care of it, otherwise it is not better than the condition of the little girl, after all, since she fell down the hill, she has never washed her hair.

"Little aunt, you are so beautiful, I have grown so big, I have never seen someone as beautiful as my little aunt." The little girl pinched the hem of her clothes nervously with both hands, and lowered her head shyly after saying this.
