The noodles in the lunch box had been cooked for a long time and were soft. Xu Chengye took a bite and felt it was not delicious. He jumped up from his stool in anger.
“Bah, is this for human consumption?
Li Jingming?
I'm going to find him."
Xu Chengye shouted, and everyone present looked at each other with ridicule on this young man's face.
"If it tastes bad, don't eat it. No one is begging you to eat it. Brother Li has gone home. If you have anything to do, you can see him tomorrow."
Zhao Ergou looked gloomy and glanced at Xu Chengye faintly.
Some of them are good to eat, but some are picky, and there are so many faults.
He really left an ancestor behind.
If this had been the case before Brother Li, their living conditions would have been considered good if they ate noodles only once a month.
Go back?
Xu Chengye exhaled angrily, went to the dormitory to get a basin and washed himself, then got into the quilt and fell asleep, enduring his hunger.
As for Li Jingming, he naturally went to a hot pot restaurant after get off work.
When he arrived at the hot pot restaurant, Yang Lina was sitting in front of the window holding Huahua, holding Huahua's little hand in her hand and teaching her to write numbers.
Huahua saw Li Jingming and shouted "Dad" happily.
"Look, Dad, Mom taught me how to write."
"Huahua's writing is really beautiful. Study hard with your mother."
After Li Jingming finished speaking, he looked at Yang Lina tenderly with his eyes.
"How are you today? Is there anything you want to eat or don't want to eat?"
Yang Lina smiled and shook her head: "I have a good appetite recently, as long as I don't smell pork and fish, I'll be fine.
Let's make some glutinous rice balls when we go back tonight, I want to eat glutinous rice balls."
Yang Lina is greedy. She wanted to eat hot and sour some time ago, and now she wants to eat sweet.
"Okay, I'll accompany you when you get back tonight."
Li Jingming said, reaching out and rubbing the top of Yang Lina's head lovingly.
"I left some of the hot and sour rice noodles for you in the evening. You can go to the kitchen and bring it out to eat. We'll go back early after eating. I feel so cold."
Yang Lina couldn't help but tremble as she spoke.
It was only October, and she was wearing a down jacket, but she still felt terribly cold all over her body.
The kind of coldness that spreads from the toes to the back.
"Okay, then you wait for me and we'll go back after dinner."
Li Jingming went to the kitchen and brought out a basin. He also ate three cornmeal buns with the rice noodles before he felt full.
After Yang Lina gave some instructions to the store, Li Jingming held Huahua in one hand and held Yang Lina in the other, and the family of three walked towards the courtyard.
The stove in the courtyard had already been set on fire by Li Jingming. When Yang Lina returned, Xue Yurou had the fire in the stove burning brightly.
Xue Yurou has always taken Huahua with her, but recently Huahua has been particularly pestering Yang Lina. In the afternoon, Yang Lina took Huahua to a hotpot restaurant alone.
As soon as Yang Lina entered the room, she felt warm all over her body. Under Yang Lina's command, Li Jingming was busy steaming pumpkin, purple sweet potato, and frying sesame seeds and walnuts.
Yang Lina changed her coat, washed her hands and mixed the steamed pumpkin and purple sweet potato with glutinous rice flour.
Xue Yurou soon put Huahua to sleep.
"What are you doing making noodles so late at night?"
Xue Yurou saw Yang Lina busy, sitting on the sofa, busy knitting sweaters for Huahua and Su Yi.
"I want to eat glutinous rice balls. I want to make some myself."
Yang Lina said and took a sip of saliva.
Just thinking about it, I think it tastes delicious.
Xue Yurou couldn't help but smile. This child is still as cute as a child even after becoming a mother.
Normally, Yang Lina would walk with an imposing manner, but Xue Yurou looked at Yang Lina with glutinous rice flour on the tip of her nose, as cute and childish as a doll.
"If you want to eat, just tell me and I'll go find Aunt Wang to cook it for you tomorrow. Why do you have to do it yourself?"
"My cooking is delicious."
Yang Lina stuck out her tongue as she spoke.
When the glutinous rice flour in the basin was kneaded by hand, Li Jingming's glutinous rice dumpling filling was also ready. He carefully replaced the white sugar in the filling with brown sugar and added some chopped red dates.
.
The couple kneaded the glutinous rice balls one by one in a tacit understanding. After a while, the yellow and purple glutinous rice balls were arranged neatly as if they had received military training.
Yang Lina calmly boiled water in the pot, and after the water boiled, she put the glutinous rice balls into the pot. When all the glutinous rice balls floated, she added brown sugar and fermented glutinous rice into the bowl, scooped the glutinous rice balls into the bowl, and scooped out some of the original soup in the pot.
, a bowl of fresh, sweet, delicious and soft glutinous rice balls is ready.
Xue Yurou looked at the delicate glutinous rice balls in the bowl and couldn't help but smile.
This girl is much better than her, clever and smart.
"This glutinous rice dumpling looks really good, even better than the one from Babaozhai."
Xue Yurou said happily.
"Mom, try it quickly, it tastes very good."
Yang Lina said, she couldn't help but eat a pumpkin one, it tasted so delicious.
Li Jingming watched his little wife's appetite increase, and he also giggled happily at the side.
He didn't like sweets, and he didn't intend to eat them, but Yang Lina would feed him a bite from time to time, and he would open his mouth and eat it obediently.
The glutinous rice balls were so delicious that they were difficult to digest. Yang Lina endured the urge to eat another bowl and froze all the remaining glutinous rice balls in the refrigerator. She also told Xue Yurou to bring some to Chen Yue and Su Han another day.
After Yang Lina finished eating, she saw that it was still early. The fire in the stove happened to be burning brightly, so she could still do something else.
After she became pregnant, Li Jingming asked Li Jingming to move the sewing machine from the utility room to the bedroom, and she took the time to make two sets of clothes for her child and herself.
When she came here this year, she didn't buy any clothes for Li Jingming. She happened to see a material she liked at the clothing factory that day and thought of making a jacket for Li Jingming, which would look good on daily wear.
Li Jingming saw that she was busy again, and his expression became a little unhappy.
"Why are you sitting in front of the sewing machine? Lie down quickly. Your back hurts if you sit for a long time."
"It's okay. Just let her do whatever she wants. Otherwise, with her temperament, she might not be able to sleep at night."
Xue Yurou wanted to talk about the time when she was pregnant with Yang Lina, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them hard.
At that time, her belly was as big as a ball, and she took Yang Lina everywhere to avoid being chased. Now that she thinks about it, those past events make her sad.
After thinking about it, I decided to forget it and not mention it.
The children's well-being is more important than anything else.
Compared to Yang Lina, Liu Yeqiu's life was not so easy.
Liu Yeqiu's pregnancy was eventually found out by her mother-in-law.
That day, Chen Peng made Liu Yeqiu's favorite stew. As soon as the two started to use chopsticks, the phone at home rang.
Chen Peng hurried to answer the phone. Liu Yeqiu happened to eat a piece of tofu. She suffered from severe morning sickness. She vomited as soon as she put the tofu in her mouth.
Mother Chen on the other side of the phone didn't speak for a long time. When Chen Peng came to his senses, Mother Chen asked again and again, only to learn that Liu Yeqiu was pregnant.
On that day, Chen's mother took a few days off, packed her things and went to Yang County the next day.
