After hearing Lu Hao say that everyone should make New Year's Eve dinner together, Sun Cheng was very down-to-earth, "No problem, make dumplings, right? I heard that dumplings are eaten during the New Year in the north."
Lu Hao said, "You must want to eat fish, so you are all prepared."
Gu Nan said to Weng Ying, who was eager to try, "Xiao Ying, please stop doing it and walk around in the yard."
Weng Ying has a strong sense of participation, "I can help choose the dishes, or study with Brother Cheng."
As a southerner, Sun Cheng has a knack for handling fish. He took off his coat, wore a gray sweetheart-neck sweater, rolled up his sleeves, and started handling the big crucian carp.
Weng Ying sat next to him, watching Sun Cheng work with loving eyes.
No matter when and where, as long as her brother Cheng is by her side, she will always only have him in her eyes.
Gu Nan rolled up her sleeves and wanted to make noodles, but was stopped by Lu Hao.
"Nan Nan, I'll come with you. If you have any chores, do them. If you don't have any, just rest. After I finish it, you can just follow me."
His wife is most likely pregnant now and he doesn't dare to overwork her.
When David saw that Lu Hao and Sun Cheng were already having sex, he smiled and said, "I'll chop the onions. I asked the butcher shop owner to chop the meat stuffing directly when I bought it. Just put the green onions in."
"Okay, Uncle David, I'll leave the dumpling filling to you."
The three men began to work in the kitchen in an orderly manner.
Gu Nan and Weng Ying sat on the bench to choose their dishes. When the dishes were selected, their dumpling wrappers and dumpling fillings were ready.
Sun Cheng's fish was also marinated.
The kitchen is very large. The dining table is in the kitchen. The dumpling fillings are placed on the dining table. You can sit on the chair and make dumplings directly.
Lu Hao was about to roll out the dumplings, but saw David awkwardly pinching a dumpling again and again, as if he was shaping it into a clay figurine.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said directly without being polite,
"Uncle David, how about you roll the dough?"
David looked at the dumplings that he had made in a long time, and then at the gold ingots wrapped by Gu Nan, and he felt embarrassed.
Lu Hao asked him to roll out the dough, and he readily agreed and quickly got up and went to the chopping board to roll out the dough.
Let Lu Hao come over and make dumplings with Gu Nan.
The two of them couldn't help laughing at the clay figurine made by David.
Sun Cheng and Weng Ying are also not good at making dumplings.
These noodles are not often eaten in their hometown. Weng Ying has been sick all year round and cannot cook at all.
Now even though I am in good health, the gap between my wrists has become smaller, I have slight stiffness, and I cannot knead dough.
But when they saw the gold ingots packaged by Lu Hao and Gu Nan, they were eager to give it a try.
One person sat over and took a piece of dumpling wrapper, put stuffing on it, and learned to make dumplings.
As a result, this job looks simple, but in practice it is still difficult.
What they made was as good as the clay figurine made by David.
People who don't know how to make dumplings always feel that they can't squeeze them tightly enough and they will break, so they keep squeezing them. The more they squeeze, the thinner the skin becomes, and in the end they can only form a lump.
Sun Cheng and Weng Ying each finished making a dumpling, looked at the dumplings in their hands, and then looked at the dumplings made by Lu Hao and Weng Ying. Sun Cheng smiled and said to Weng Ying, "Xiao Ying, at our level, maybe in the future
Can’t eat dumplings.”
Weng Ying was also embarrassed, "Brother Cheng, I like to eat fish."
Gu Nan, "!!!"
What a considerate and good person.
"Brother Hao, take care of me. I'll cook the fish and let you have a taste of my craftsmanship."
No matter how good he is at making dumplings, he is always good at it.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
In the kitchen, everyone has a harmonious atmosphere and a clear division of labor.
In the hall, Chen Yazhi chatted with Mr. Lu and began to wipe her tears again.
She cried and explained, "Uncle, I really don't know that the child is alive. If I knew, no matter how difficult it is, I would come back to find him."
Mr. Lu had long heard from Lu Hao that Chen Youde deceived Chen Yazhi and told her that her child had died in infancy.
When he saw Chen Yazhi in pain and sadness, he cursed Chen Youde a thousand times in his heart, but after all, he was Chen Yazhi's biological father. In front of her, he still restrained his emotions and did not mention Chen Youde.
Mr. Lu looked at Chen Yazhi distressedly and comforted softly, "Yazhi, I know, Xiao Hao has told me, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. You see, the child has grown up now, and you are back.
Cherish the time in the future and let the past go."
Chen Yahu wiped her tears, looked at the kind old man gratefully, and nodded, "Uncle, I will honor you well in the future. Although I can't be your daughter-in-law in this life, we have Xiao Hao as a bond between us, and we will always be a family.
people."
When this topic was brought up, Mr. Lu couldn't help but sigh regretfully, "Oh, it's all fate. It's because Shengmin's wood is not good enough for you."
"Did Xiao Hao tell you?" Mr. Lu looked at Chen Yazhi, cautiously testing. "Did he tell you about Shengmin?"
Chen Yazhi lowered her eyes and responded, "I told you everything."
Mr. Lu was afraid that Chen Yazhi would be even more sad when she learned that Lu Shengmin had remarried twenty years ago.
He was also afraid that she would misunderstand Lu Shengmin as a heartless man, so he patiently recounted to her what had happened before.
"He has always had you in his heart. That year, Xiao Hao was very seriously ill with smallpox. The child has always been sensible and never mentioned his mother in front of us. After that illness, he kept clamoring for his mother. Shengmin and I
Seeing that it was really uncomfortable, Shengmin bought a ticket and took the train to your parents' house. He wanted to find you through them, hoping that you could take a look at the child and at least accompany the child through that difficult stage.
Unexpectedly, he was kicked out again. Your father said that you had married in Hong Kong City and told him to give up. Just like that, Shengmin took the car back in despair. He bought wine on the way. After drinking too much, he fell into the river.
She was rescued by a man from a neighboring village, but the man drowned trying to save Shengmin, leaving an orphan and a widowed mother who was ostracized by their parents and lived a difficult life.
Shengmin felt guilty, so he often went over to help with the work. As time went by, gossip began to spread in the village. You know, at that time, gossip about style could kill people. In the end, he had no choice but to marry the person back and live together.
.”
Gu Nan and Lu Hao had told her the reasons for Lu Shengmin's remarriage before, but now hearing Mr. Lu's detailed explanation, Chen Yazhi was still very sad and painful.
When I was looking for my mother after I fell ill, I felt so helpless with Mr. Lu and Lu Shengmin standing by.
Lu Yuan Shengmin went to the city to look for her but was kicked out, how desperate he felt.
He must hate her with all his heart.
I think she is a cruel mother.
Chen Yazhi felt better when she thought that Lu Shengmin had remarried and that in the past twenty years, at least there was someone around her to care about her.
When Mr. Lu saw that Chen Yazhi looked in pain and remained silent, he said, "Yazhi, I know that you and Shengmin have been destined to be together in this life. You have also suffered a lot. I just hope you don't hate him."
Chen Yazhi shook her head in tears,
"Uncle, he should not hate me. Shengmin is a real person. I understand his behavior very well. I have no right to blame him. I only hope that he can live a happy life."
