Early in the morning, I talked on the phone with Wang Xiaomeng for a while.

The online car-hailing car finally arrived. Xie Yu carried a lot of gifts and found the relative's house Wan Ruonan mentioned by the address.

It was obvious that relatives of Wan Ruonan's family were very kind to Wan Zhaodi. Xie Yu took a few photos and sent them to Wan Ruonan's e-mail. They chatted for a while and then returned.

Then, I went to a big supermarket and bought a lot. After returning home,

The meat grinder started to beep continuously, and Xie Yu started kneading the noodles again.

Finally, Xie Yu prepared a total of four fillings: beef, pork, leek and egg, fish, shrimp and seafood.

By this time, the dough was ready. Xie Yu kneaded the dough, rolled out the dough, and started making dumplings.

However, before I had packed a few bags, I heard a knock on the door.

Xie Yuzheng found it strange that today is New Year's Eve, so no one should be visiting!

"Perhaps Sun Guo is here again? He is quite casual!"

Xie Yu touched his face and went out to open the door.

Then, Lin Chuping, who was carrying some frozen dumplings and rice cakes, saw that her hands were covered with white flour, and even her face was covered with white flour, and she was wearing a cute lady's apron.

Xie Yu's face is actually a bit funny.

Lin Chuping couldn't help it, and burst out laughing.

Xie Yuzheng felt strange, why did Lin Chuping come, and why she suddenly smiled so strangely.

So he said: "Lin Chuping, why are you here? Today is New Year's Eve, aren't you staying with your family?"

When Lin Chuping heard Xie Yu's question, she didn't explain, "Mr. Xie, I heard from my senior brother that you were celebrating the New Year alone, so I brought you some food, dumplings and rice cakes. I didn't know what Mr. Xie liked, so I bought some of them."

"

Xie Yu: "Everything is fine, everything is fine, thank you!"

Taking the gift from Lin Chuping, Xie Yu said, "Please come in!"

As soon as she entered the room, Lin Chuping saw the dumpling fillings and wrappers she had made on the desk.

He said, "It turns out Mr. Xie is from the north and knows how to make dumplings by himself. Isn't this unnecessary?"

"It's just that it's the holidays, won't Mr. Xie go back to his hometown?"

Xie Yu: "Well, I am an orphan, but making dumplings is indeed my northern tradition. If you are not impatient, I will give you some for you to try. I am still somewhat confident in my own skills.

of."

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Chuping said: "Okay, of course, I don't want to eat for free, Mr. Xie, I will help you with it too!"

Xie Yu smiled: "Of course, you can go wash your hands!"

How should I put it? Lin Chuping's skill in making dumplings is really hard to describe. She must have seen other people making dumplings, but she has never tried it herself.

Moreover, she was very addicted and was very addicted. After Xie Yu gave some pointers, Lin Chuping made even more mistakes.

In this case, Xie Yu had no choice but to take out a dumpling-making tool that was given to her when she bought noodles and made dumplings from a large supermarket.

It is a foldable plastic box, with dumpling wrappers placed in the middle, dumpling fillings added, and then folded in half, and a complete dumpling comes out.

Although Xie Yu despises it, making dumplings and having no soul, it is still very suitable for Lin Chuping to use as a temporary tool.

Sure enough, humans are stronger than other animals because they can use tools...

After letting Lin Chuping be less of a filling, she succeeded again and again.

Lin Chuping felt a sense of accomplishment and said, "Not bad. When I was in kindergarten, I always came first in the handicraft class."

Looking at Xie Yubao's handmade dumplings again, Lin Chuping said: "Mr. Xie, your kindergarten handicraft class is also very good!"

Xie Yu: "No, I never went to kindergarten."

Lin Chuping: "How could that be possible? Well, Mr. Xie, your story should be legendary. I have seen someone like you who started from scratch and is worth hundreds of millions alive."

Xie Yu: "What's the point of living?"

Lin Chuping stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm just curious, Mr. Xie, how can you be so successful?"

Xie Yu: "What's so curious about this!"

Lin Chuping: "I'm just curious. Isn't it convenient to talk about it? Mr. Xie!"

Xie Yu: "It's not inconvenient, I just don't know where to start."

Lin Chuping: "Let's start with the fact that you, Mr. Xie, have never been to kindergarten."

Xie Yu: "Okay, let me organize the language first."

Thinking about the memory of this body, Xie Yu said: "I should be one of those kidnapped children. I was sold to a mountain village in the northwest. After I learned a little bit, I tended sheep and cattle and collected firewood. Later, thanks to the blessing of the country, because of compulsory education, I

I went to elementary school."

"One day, while I was in class, my adoptive father found me, gave me an ID card, and asked me to dig coal in a black coal mine to earn money."

"I was young and weak, so I didn't dare to resist. I mined coal for several years, and then I encountered a mining accident. I was lucky enough to survive, but I never wanted to go back to that home, so I kept walking eastward, and then I ended up in Puhai Magic City...

…”

Perhaps recalling her thoughts, Lin Chuping was also shocked by Xie Yu's experience, and the scene was silent for a while.

It was only after Xie Yu didn't speak for a long time that Lin Chuping asked: "Then, then, Mr. Xie, what do you do for a living in Puhai Demon City? Is it still hard?"

Xie Yu: "I worked as a part-time worker, worked as a regular worker, and delivered and delivered takeaways."

"I used to be colleagues with your Senior Brother Sun, you should know that!"

Lin Chuping's eyes were slightly red and she said, "I know, he is at the funeral parlor. Hey, Mr. Xie, did you come out of the funeral parlor too?"

Xie Yu: "Of course, thanks to your Senior Brother Sun, I took many certificates in the construction industry and got an adult bachelor's degree."

"Of course, I also discovered that I have some ability in appreciating art, and I borrowed your help from Senior Brother Sun to open a company. Fortunately, the benefits are good, and I think I will be able to gain a foothold in Puhai Magic City in the future!"

Lin Chuping: “Mr.

Xie Yu: "Of course, I have always believed in a saying that life is lived, not imagined. Difficult situations are only temporary, and there is always hope for the future."

As soon as she said this, Lin Chuping looked a little cute at Xie Yu's somewhat ferocious face.

So he asked an unexpected question and said: "Mr. Xie, how old are you now? I'm talking about your actual age."

This question made Xie Yu hesitate and paused for a long time.

Lin Chuping continued to ask: "Is it inconvenient to say?"

Xie Yu: "That's not true. My mental age is probably a hundred, and my physical age has passed the new year, which is exactly the age of twenty."...

Xie Yu didn't mean to lie to Lin Chuping by saying this. After all, the cumulative physical age of those who traveled through time seemed to be almost a hundred years old, and the actual physical age of those in this world was indeed less than twenty years old.

In the first half of the sentence, Lin Chuping only took it as a joke to Xie Yu. In the second half of the sentence, Lin Chuping was very surprised and said: "So, Mr. Xie, you are two years younger than me, should you call me sister?"

Then, he stuck out his tongue and said, "Mr. Xie, just think I'm joking!"

Xie Yu: "Nothing, it's Chinese New Year! Being happy is important."

"By the way, are you hungry? How about I make you something to eat first!"

Lin Chuping: "Okay, okay! I want to eat pork and seafood fillings."

Xie Yu: "Arrangement!"

So, I walked into the kitchen carrying two wrapped dumplings stuffed with pork and seafood.

While Lin Chuping was making dumplings with the dumpling artifact, she occasionally took a peek at Xie Yu's back.

Considering the habits of people in Puhai Magic City, Xie Yu covered the dumplings stuffed with seafood and steamed them on a steamer.

The pork stuffing was fried in water. Knowing that Puhai people like rich red sauce, I adjusted the sauce for a while, and when it was ready, I brought it to Lin Chuping.

"It's delicious, here it comes."

Lin Chuping, who had been seduced by the aroma of the kitchen for a long time, had already washed her hands.

When Xie Yu put it away, he immediately picked up Kuaizi and picked up a fried pork dumpling, dipped it in the dipping sauce made by Xie Yu, covered it with one hand, and put it in his mouth.

"Delicious, very easy to eat!"

Xie Yu: "As long as it tastes good, the ingredients are actually very ordinary. Just because you participated and worked hard, it will feel extra sweet!"

Lin Chuping looked at Xie Yu and said, "Mr. Xie, although you are not physically older than me, you are mentally more mature than me and have experienced a lot."

Xie Yu: "If it's delicious, eat more. It's the Chinese New Year. As for health matters, let's put them aside for now."

Lin Chuping: "Well, Mr. Xie, aren't you hungry?"

"How about I share some with you? I don't have a big appetite and I can't finish it."

Xie Yu: "It's okay. You eat first. I really can't finish it. There's still me!"

Lin Chuping immediately took a small plate, gave some to Xie Yu, and said, "Mr. Xie, you can eat too!"

Looking at a few dumplings stuffed between his teeth, Xie Yu said, "You'd better eat first, and then I'll go."
