"Daughter-in-law, have you made dumplings?" Zhou Yi was a little surprised when he saw the exquisite dumplings on the chopping board. He just went to his father's place for a while, and he didn't know if it took half an hour for her to make so many dumplings?
You know, the process of making dumplings is troublesome. You have to knead the dough and chop the fillings. Even making dumplings takes time!
"The Song family doesn't like me. I've grown up and haven't eaten a bite of dumplings. Now I have flour, pork and vegetables at home, so I..." In order to dispel Zhou Yi's suspicion, Song Xi suddenly showed off
He came looking aggrieved.
However, little Song Xi never ate dumplings once in the Song family. Even when the Song family made dumplings during the Chinese New Year, she couldn't even take a sip of dumpling soup. Seeing what happened to little Song Xi, Song Xi realized that she was living in modern times.
How happy she was, she ate dumplings and never drank soup. Now that I think about it, it was really a waste of money.
"Daughter-in-law, you don't have to worry about anything here. You can eat whatever you want from now on. If you don't have it at home, you can tell me." Looking at Song Xi's dark and bright eyes, Zhou Yi unconsciously said
Deeply trapped in it.
He reached out and gently wiped away the white flour on Song Xi's brow and hair. She could eat whatever she had at home, and if she wanted to eat whatever she didn't have at home, he would find a way to get it back.
Zhou Yi's actions made Song Xi feel a little confused. She was embarrassed and wanted to avoid his hand that was helping to arrange her hair. However, he took one step ahead and put an arm around her waist, preventing her from retreating.
Zhou Yi naturally saw that his daughter-in-law was a little panicked. The more panicked she became, the happier he was, because this proved that she was slowly taking him to heart. Even if it was very slow, it was still a good sign!
"Daughter-in-law, you sit down and rest first, and I'll cook the dumplings." Zhou Yi helped Song Xi sit down on the bench and began to boil water. When the water was hot, he sprinkled some salt in it. After the water boiled,
Put the dumplings in.
Song Xi was watching from the side, but she didn't expect Zhou Yi to look serious and good-looking while cooking. She knew that men in this era, even those from rural areas, believed that doing housework was a shameful thing, so she identified those
As for women, even in modern times, some men are still stuck in the past and are unwilling to help their wives with any housework.
So Zhou Yi is really good.
The dumplings were ready soon. Seeing Zhou Yi holding a bowl to fill the dumplings, Song Xi quickly said, "Brother Yi, I just want ten dumplings and more soup." She wanted to try the dumpling soup to see if it tasted good.
.
The two of them sat under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and ate dumplings. After Zhou Yi took a bite, he realized that the pork in the dumpling stuffing was fresh pork, not bacon, but he clearly remembered that they did not buy fresh pork!
"Daughter-in-law, this pork..."
Knowing what Zhou Yi wanted to know, Song Xi hurriedly said, "The beautiful sister at the guest house gave it to me. I didn't expect that it didn't smell bad after covering it for a long time. The weather was unbearable, so I quickly made dumplings.
How about it, are the dumplings I made delicious?"
"It's delicious. My wife's cooking is good." Zhou Yi took one bite and sighed while eating. The filling tastes really good, at least he can't make such filling.
"It's my brother who mastered the heat so well that the dumplings are so delicious." Of course Song Xi will not take all the credit. These dumplings are handmade by employees in the supermarket and have nothing to do with her. She is just giving them to employees.
It’s just salary!
Now the supermarket is following her. I don’t know if it still exists in modern times, and I don’t know what happened to the employees. Could it be that she came here inexplicably, and all traces of her life in modern times have been erased, and no one will remember it.
Did she exist?
If that's the case, that's good. At least those people who knew her and really loved her won't be sad because of her sudden disappearance.
Song Xi's appetite is not very good now and she can't eat much. There are ten dumplings in the bowl. After eating six and taking a few mouthfuls of soup, she can't eat any more. When she was about to give the dumplings to Zhou Yi, she suddenly knocked.
The door rang.
"Daughter-in-law, you eat slowly, I'll go take a look." Zhou Yi reached out and touched Song Xi's hair, smiled at Song Xi, and walked towards the courtyard door. If it was an inexplicable person, he would not even open the door.
No one will be allowed in.
The little daughter-in-law needs to rest now, and he will not let any unimportant person come to disturb the little daughter-in-law's rest.
Zhou Yi walked over quickly and opened the courtyard door to a crack half a person's width. He saw two children in tattered clothes standing outside the door. Seeing Zhou Yi appear, they felt a little embarrassed.
Most of the children in the village are ragged and dirty because they are naughty and restless. No matter how clean they are, they will turn into mud monkeys within a few minutes.
Zhou Yi has no feelings for the children in the village.
But now that people were coming to the door, he couldn't drive them away, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there anything wrong with you knocking on the door?"
The little boy's face was slightly red. Facing the serious Uncle Zhou Yi, he was a little at a loss. He raised his hands and said, "Uncle Zhou Yi, we found some raspberries on the mountain. They are sour and sweet and delicious.
I just want to give some to my little aunt."
In fact, these two children belong to the family next door to Zhou Yi's family. There is some distance between the two families, and it takes about a minute or two to walk. They saw Zhou Yi and Song Xi going home at night, and when they saw that Song Xi could walk on her own, they wanted to come over and meet their little aunt.
.
"You are really considerate." Zhou Yi took a step aside and let the two children in. My wife is probably quite bored lying at home every day, so it would be nice to have the two children accompany her to relieve her boredom.
Although he is not familiar with these two children, he also knows that these two children are not bad in character. If someone guides them well, they will not grow crooked in the future.
"Daughter-in-law, this is the little tree and flower next door. They have brought you raspberries." Zhou Yi led two children back, a boy and a girl, and took the raspberries from the little boy's hand and carried them to the well.
Next, I picked up water and started cleaning.
"Hello, kids!" Song Xi greeted the two children with a smile. Both children were very slim and thin, with no flesh at all on their faces. They only had a pair of big eyes that stood out, like aliens.
The clothes on her body were also patched one after another, and there was a slight smell in the air. The little girl's hair seemed to have not been washed for a long time, and it was all caked in lumps.
Song Xi's hair was taken care of by Zhou Yi, otherwise it would not be in better condition than the little girl's. After all, she had never washed her hair since she fell down the hillside.
"Little aunt, you are so beautiful. I have never seen anyone as beautiful as my little aunt in my life." The little girl pinched the hem of her clothes nervously with both hands. After saying this, she lowered her head shyly.
