Chapter 24: Making Dumplings
Ye Shu'er's words went directly to Zhang's heart, and her eyes were red unconsciously.
"Shu'er, you are such a good-hearted girl."
"Yes, my daughter-in-law is the best daughter-in-law in the world."
Xue Zhi'an didn't understand what Ye Shu'er and Zhang's said, but when he heard Zhang's praise of Ye Shu'er, he immediately followed suit.
"Zhi'an, do you want to eat dumplings?"
Seeing this, Zhang smiled and asked suddenly.
"Yes!"
Xue Zhi'an's eyes lit up immediately, every Chinese New Year, the Xue family would eat two dumplings, and one meal had to be vegetarian dumplings, but even so, the dumplings were not enough every time.
"Cheng, then let's eat dumplings tonight, and you go and ask your sister-in-law to cut three catties of pork in the cellar to chop the filling."
Zhang said to Xue Zhi'an, who immediately ran out of the kitchen to find Song.
"Shu'er, you haven't eaten the dumplings made by your mother, I guarantee that you still want to eat them, although your mother's cooking is not as delicious as what you make, but no one can wrap up the taste of my dumplings."
"Mother, your cooking is delicious."
Ye Shu'er smiled, and couldn't help but look forward to dinner, after all, she hadn't eaten dumplings a few times when she was so old.
"Mother, this is not a New Year's Day, why do you suddenly want to make dumplings?"
Xue Zhi'an soon returned to the kitchen, and Song followed him, carrying three catties of pork in his hand.
"But why can't you make dumplings and eat them during the New Year's Festival, the fourth child wants to eat them, and Shu'er hasn't eaten them yet, let her try the dumplings I wrapped."
Zhang took the pork from Song's hand, then instructed Song to make noodles, and then began to chop the stuffing.
When Li Yumei came back from feeding the chickens, she saw Zhang's chopping meat filling, and her eyes immediately lit up: "Mother, what about you chopping the stuffing, are you eating dumplings tonight?" ”
"I didn't come to help when I saw it, so I quickly washed my hands and took two more eggs to break up." Zhang's head didn't rise, and the cutting board was chopped by her, and it could be seen from the fine beads of sweat on her forehead that this was not an easy job.
"Hey, good, good!" Li Yumei should go quickly.
"Mother, if you rest for a while, I'll chop it."
Song reconciled his face and woke up, and then helped Zhang wipe his sweat.
"No, you go wash some cabbage, and then take some sauerkraut out, let's pack more in the evening, so that everyone can eat enough."
Seeing that Zhang was happy, everyone was very happy, even the work was energetic, and even Li Yumei's movements were much smoother.
"Mother, what am I doing?"
Xue Zhi'an looked at everyone working in the kitchen and hurriedly asked.
"You go and see if your eldest brother and second brother are back, and when you come back, call them to make dumplings together......"
Xue Zhi'an listened, and before Zhang finished speaking, he immediately ran to the gate and waited for the two brothers to come back.
"This kid."
Zhang smiled helplessly, and then said to Ye Shu'er: "Zhi'an's medicine is for the help of the second family's family, you go and ask Zhi'an not to wait at the door, so as not to catch a cold." ”
"Oh yes."
Ye Shu'er immediately ran out to find Xue Zhi'an, and Li Yumei sat down in front of the medicine jar with some reluctance.
When Xue Lao and Xue Lao Er came home, they were carrying two rabbits in their hands, and they were also lucky, the two rabbits were a female and a male, although they were a little thin, but the white hair on their whole bodies was very cute.
"Zhi'an, haven't you always wanted rabbits, can you see these two?"
When Boss Xue saw Xue Zhi'an, he immediately smiled and handed the rabbit to him.
"Big brother and second brother, I want to eat rabbit meat, but these two rabbits look so thin."
Xue Zhi'an touched the rabbit fur, turned his head and said to Ye Shu'er: "Daughter-in-law, do you want to eat rabbits, the spicy rabbit meat made by sister-in-law is delicious." ”
When the two rabbits heard Xue Zhi'an's words, they immediately began to struggle again, as if they understood human words.
"We can raise them and have more bunnies."
When Ye Shu'er heard the spicy rabbit meat, her heart moved, these two skinny rabbits don't know if there are two taels of meat, if they are killed like this, it is really a waste.
"Daughter-in-law, you are so smart, then raise it, and then I will have a lot of spicy rabbit legs to eat."
Xue Zhi'an's words made Ye Shu'er nod a little helplessly, and Xue Boss and Xue Lao Er also agreed when they heard it, and immediately found a cage for the two rabbits and locked them up.
"Big brother and second brother, my mother is making dumplings in the kitchen, so I will help you when you come back."
Ye Shu'er's words made the two of them immediately happy, and they hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
"Mother, what day is it today, eating so richly?"
Xue Lao Er looked at a pot of meat filling and swallowed his saliva, the meat in the dumpling filling eaten in previous years was pitiful, but this time it was obviously enough.
"What's the matter, eating dumplings still depends on the day? You can eat as much as you want. ”
Zhang's angrily glanced at Xue Laoer, Xue Laoer looked incredulous when he heard it, and looked at Li Yumei with an inquiring look.
"Zhi'an and the fourth daughter-in-law want to eat, but the fourth daughter-in-law of our family is the lucky star of our family, so I can't offer it."
Li Yumei spoke with a gun and a stick, Ye Shu'er didn't feel a good feeling when she heard it, she really couldn't understand, why did this second sister-in-law just look at her unpleasantly?
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person, if you don't want to eat, go back to your room now, no one forced you to be here."
Zhang glared at Li Yumei fiercely, Li Yumei closed her mouth, this dumpling may not be eaten once a year, she has been busy until now, she has long been hungry, where can she not eat it?
"Mother, Zhi'an and I will also come to help."
Ye Shuer ignored Li Yumei, washed her hands and prepared to help.
"No, no, you just take care of Zhi'an's medicine."
Zhang smiled at Ye Shu'er, and then said to Xue Zhi'an: "You go and call the eldest girl too, the family will be able to pack it together." ”
In the end, except for Ye Shu'er, who was in charge of decoction, almost all of the Xue family members crowded into the kitchen to help make dumplings, and a large pot of meat filling was quickly wrapped.
"Mother, you go and rest, I'll cook the dumplings."
After wrapping the dumplings, Song directly added water to the pot and prepared to boil the dumplings.
"You have worked hard to roll noodles, and let the second family come to cook dumplings, and you will also go to rest."
After Zhang finished speaking, Li Yumei instantly drooped her face and muttered in a low voice: "It's as if I didn't help." ”
When Song heard this, he instantly felt a little embarrassed.
"Mother, it's just cooking dumplings, I'm not tired, I'll come."
The Zhang family naturally heard Li Yumei's words, but seeing that the Song family insisted, he couldn't say anything more, glared at Li Yumei before leaving the kitchen.
"Brother and sister, that's not what my mother meant, don't take it to heart."
When Zhang left, Song said to Li Yumei, originally wanting to resolve the conflict, but he didn't expect Li Yumei to be even more angry when he heard it.
"What do you mean, I'm just saying two words, and I was made to do it with the bad guys."
Li Yumei didn't finish speaking angrily, and also left the kitchen, and now there were Song's family, Xue Zhi'an, Ye Shu'er, and the eldest girl left in the kitchen.
