"Oh, madam, come quickly, the second master has called home."
Lao Gao smiled and said to the eldest lady. The eldest lady was stunned at first, then with a happy face, she quickly took it in three steps and then two steps.
"Xiaokun?" She called out uncertainly.
The second master said calmly: "Sister-in-law, it's me."
After calling her sister-in-law, the eldest lady's eyes were stained with tears.
"You brat, where have you been? You haven't even called home for two months, and you still use your mobile phone. You don't even bother to send a WeChat message, right? You know what your brother and I are worried about.
Are you ready? If you have the ability, you will die outside, and you don’t want to come back to our house!"
The eldest lady was angry and happy, and quickly called to the executive's house to take the call to the backyard so that the eldest uncle could listen.
The second master also heard it through the phone and said quickly: "Sister-in-law, please don't call me brother. I have something to tell you."
The eldest lady's originally excited mood suddenly became half cold. She had grown up watching the child, so she didn't know his temper.
"Say it, sister-in-law, listen."
Originally, the second master had already thought about the wording, so he just said he wouldn't go home during the Dragon Boat Festival and hung up the phone after saying that, but now he suddenly couldn't say it anymore.
At this time, he also began to have feelings for what Ling Ye said, "My family misses you."
"I, just...have you prepared the Dragon Boat Festival at home?"
Madam: "Well, it's almost done. Everything in the company and at home has been arranged. I just need you to come back."
The second master touched the tip of his nose through his cell phone and felt inexplicably guilty for a moment.
"Then... how is my brother's health?"
The Chu family’s uncle is over fifty this year. He spends his days leisurely and recuperating, playing with cats and birds, almost like a retired man.
Madam: "Well, I'm fine. As long as I'm not frightened, it's no big deal."
Listening to what the eldest lady said, the second master probably guessed that his sister-in-law was warning her.
The second master pursed his lips, then thought of Ling Ye, and said decisively: "I won't be going back during the Dragon Boat Festival, you don't have to wait for me to come home!"
After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone and let out a long breath.
The lady who was far away in the capital felt a tightness in her chest and had to put down the phone when she heard the busy signal.
The executive stood aside, seeing the eldest lady's face getting more and more ugly, and hurriedly asked: "This... eldest lady, what's wrong? What happened?"
"Oh, what's wrong? Your second master won't be back for the Dragon Boat Festival. What do you think is wrong?"
The executive's originally smiling face suddenly froze.
Oh, my second master, you can just go out for a walk, why don't you go home?
The eldest lady was annoyed and panicked, "Where's Chu Tianbo! He's running outside all day long during the holiday! He doesn't know how to learn anything good!"
Seeing that the eldest lady was in a bad mood, her anger was directed at the second young master, and the senior executives did not dare to speak loudly.
"The second young master is feeding the birds with the elder in the backyard. I will call them right away."
While walking in front of the executive's house, I heard the eldest lady saying in the flower hall: "Everyone knows how to play. If you can, don't even go home to eat! You can live outside!"
Just a few steps out, I turned the corner and saw the uncle and the second young master coming back one after the other.
Chu Tianbo smiled and asked him: "Uncle Gao, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like someone is chasing you from behind? Why are you panicking?"
After saying that, Chu Tianbo walked inside and shouted loudly: "Mom, Mom, I'm back!"
The executive wipes his sweat, my second young master, you are happy too early.
The uncle handed him the bird cage and asked, "What happened? Who made Wanjun angry?"
Executive: "This... is the second master. He just called home and said..."
"What did you say?" the uncle asked quickly, looking forward to it in his heart.
"Say...said I won't be back for the Dragon Boat Festival..." The executive said with a sad face.
The uncle was stunned for a moment, then left with a calm face without saying anything.
But behind the scenes, the executive still heard the uncle curse "little bastard" through gritted teeth.
Besides, the second master who hung up the phone immediately blocked the contact information of everyone in the family, turned off their mobile phones and went out.
Lingye was still there with Chuoshu, and she lay down directly on him after he left. The second master ran over and lay down in front of her to talk.
"I called my brother. He said he was busy at home during the holidays and didn't have time to pick me up. He asked me to spend the holiday alone."
His bright eyes were open, pure and sincere, and it didn't look like he was lying at all.
Lingye stared at him for two seconds and pursed his lips tightly.
The second master resisted the urge to poke her cheek and said cautiously: "Can I stay and spend time with you?"
She sighed softly, you are going home and you are not going into a den of wolves and tigers. Why are you so reluctant?
"Okay, you... let's go together."
After Lingye said these words, a bright smile instantly appeared on the second master's face, like a child who got candy, simple happiness.
The next day, Qi Yang and Ren Xi took out the bedding and clothes in each house and washed them together. They did a general cleaning in the front and back rooms, tidying up inside and out.
They have special status and some customs cannot be followed, so they just make rice dumplings together to have fun. Chang Bo went to the market in person and bought rice dumpling leaves, thread balls, and some candied bean paste for filling, washed the rice dumpling leaves, and soaked the glutinous rice
, the whole family is very busy and very happy.
Ling Yefu returned to Renxi, and the three of them had stayed in the north and south with the second master, and their tastes were not particularly picky. On the other hand, the second master, who was born in the capital this life, was more accustomed to eating sweets.
Chu's family is young, and the older generation's habit is to make rice dumplings by themselves at home. The second master has never made rice dumplings, but he has seen how the eldest lady makes them at home, and he said he learned from Mrs. Chu. The triangular rice dumplings they make are small and unique.
It doesn't overflow after the pot is steamed, it's so beautiful.
It's a pity that the second master didn't learn.
Today, Fang Xiangshi is closed for a holiday. Two large tables were moved to the open space in the backyard, with washed rice dumpling leaves and glutinous rice placed on them, so we can make rice dumplings together.
Fu Gui stepped on the small stool and half-stretched himself to lean on the table. The rice was wrapped in rice dumpling leaves, and he pinched one side to expose the other side, but he couldn't wrap it up. Qi Yang took it and tidied it up for him before he could see if it could be wrapped.
Wrap up.
Lingye pushed the second master, "What are you looking at? Bao."
You can even barbecue outdoors, but you can't make rice dumplings, right? She is very confident in her second master.
To be honest, the second master really doesn't know how to do such a delicate job as making rice dumplings.
The second master took a deep breath, "I...I'll cover it?"
"Well, let's wrap it up."
He took a rice dumpling leaf and held it in his palm. Before he could make any other move, Lingye stopped him.
"No, you have to roll it up first to make it look like a funnel and hold it in your hand." As she said that, she gave the second master a demonstration.
He stared at the imitation and copied it, but why couldn't he pull it off? So Lingye simply finished it and handed it back to him.
Then, scoop the glutinous rice into it, add a few dates, and finally add the glutinous rice to cover the dates, seal it and wrap it with thread.
The second master watched intently, very attentively, waiting for Ling Ye to finish wrapping, blinking his eyes.
He said very innocently: "It was too fast, I didn't see it clearly."
"..."
Lingye was helpless, "Put the rice first."
The second master dug a spoonful of glutinous rice.
"There are too many, I have to fill them in later."
"Oh, what about this?" He shook off half a spoonful and asked Lingye.
She nodded, "Okay, put it in, and put two more dates."
The second master pinched two sweet dates and placed them on top of the glutinous rice.
"Fill more rice."
The second master filled the funnel completely, and finally pressed it with a spoon to press it firmly.
Lingye quickly grabbed him: "Hey, there are too many, it will explode."
He had no choice but to pull out some more, "Is this okay?"
"Well, that's enough. Let's wrap it up."
The second master squeezed the rice dumplings with both hands together and sealed the rice dumplings with great difficulty. In the end, the rice dumplings were no longer visible.
He held the rice dumpling tightly and said to Lingye: "Please help me wrap the thread."
"Why?"
"I'm afraid it will fall apart if I let go."
Lingye was amused, "No, it's all wrapped up."
"No, no, you have to pester me." The second master held the rice dumplings in both hands and acted coquettishly towards Lingye, insisting that she agree.
Lingye had no choice but to take the cotton thread and help him wrap the rice dumplings.
He actually smiled happily.
Looking at the wrapped rice dumplings, although they are a bit ugly, he and Lingye made them together!
