Lingbao lowered his head, "Playing? With Lingbao?"
"Yeah, daddy said Lingbao is my aunt," Jiang Fugui nodded, his childish voice a little vague, "Auntie, let's play together with Fugui."
Feeling that it was good to have a companion, Shen Su'e smiled and put the Lingbao on the ground, "Lingbao, you and Fugui go inside to play, it's cold outside..."
"But Lingbao wants to help mother make dumplings."
"No need, your third brother and the others are all up. I'll ask them to help mother make dumplings. Lingbao, you go and play." Shen Su'e petted her daughter's head lovingly.
Hearing the word "dumplings", several people in the yard couldn't help but swallow their saliva. They couldn't remember the last time they ate dumplings.
Wu Chaozi couldn't help but ask: "Mom, are you going to make dumplings to eat? They won't be dumplings stuffed with pork, right? Or will they be made with sauerkraut?"
"I would like to make sauerkraut dumplings. Where did you get the sauerkraut? You have eaten all the sauerkraut that was pickled before. There is nothing left in the cellar. It is empty."
Shen Su'e planted cabbage in the yard in the summer. Then in October, she harvested about twenty cabbage cabbages. After just a month of pickling, the second daughter-in-law and her daughter-in-law made a fuss about wanting to eat sauerkraut, and then the boss and the others also He said that he should forget it after eating, since Captain Li would receive bonuses and pay out food during the Chinese New Year, so he ate it all.
"If there are a few sauerkraut left, make some sauerkraut dumplings and eat them with pork dumplings. It's delicious and relieves greasiness." Shen Su'e sighed.
Her husband smiled and said, "It would be great to have pork dumplings! Are you ready to roll the skins? I'll wash my hands and come and help you make the dumplings."
"Mom, I'm here to help too." Sanleizi, Sihaizi and Wuchaozi said almost in unison with joy and excitement in their voices.
Shugen put his hands on his hips and said like a little adult: "Hey! Make more dumplings. I want to eat ten pork dumplings. No, I want to eat twenty."
His younger brother Tugen also shouted that he wanted to eat dumplings, and said he wanted to eat thirty.
Wu Chaozi said displeasedly: "If you want to eat, let your mother do it."
"I don't have any pork at home. I ate all of it yesterday," Tugen said.
His fifth uncle didn't believe what he said, "Who are you kidding? One person is divided into two catties of meat, and the four members of your family are divided into eight catties of pork, and they are all eaten in one night?"
"It's all brother's fault," Tugen curled his lips, "He said he wanted to eat barbecue and threw all the meat into the stove, otherwise we would have had pork dumplings today."
"It was obviously you who threw it in, it was you..."
"not me!"
"It's you, it's you!"
The two of them started pushing each other again.
Jiang Shugen was two years older and pushed his brother to the ground.
Seeing him riding on Tu Gen, raising his fist to hit someone, Dadongzi hurriedly pulled his eldest son away, "What are you doing? You have learned how to hit people."
"Hmph! Who made him wrongly accuse me..."
"Wuwuwuwu, I didn't accuse him wrongly, wuwu..."
Tu Gen had just cried a few times when his brother also started crying louder.
At this moment, even Erhuazi couldn't stand it anymore, "Brother, please take your son home quickly. Why is he coming to his parents to cry in the first year of the new year?"
His younger brothers echoed, "That's right, take it away quickly! It sounds very annoying!"
Dadongzi looked at his younger brothers, then turned to look at his parents, and found that they were all looking at him with disgusted expressions. He felt angry and embarrassed for a moment, and finally pulled his eldest son with one hand and his younger son with the other. He dragged away the two guys who were crying endlessly.
"Really, even if I leave, my ears will be deafened by those two brats," Wu Chaozi said, "It's a shame that we have split up the family!"
His mother smiled and said, "That's not what you said when we first separated."
"I was too stupid at that time, haha. Now I think it's great that the eldest brother and the second brother are separated! Our family is much cleaner."
Erhuazi stepped forward and patted his fifth brother, "Chaozi, your eldest brother is gone, and I'm still here."
"Why haven't you taken your son away yet?"
"Fugui wants to play with Lingbao, and I want to help mother with work," Erhuazi said, following behind his mother, "Mom, let me help you roll the dough."
As if something suddenly occurred to him, he walked a few steps, turned around and said to his son: "Fugui, you should play well with your little aunt, and you are not allowed to bully your little aunt, do you hear me? Otherwise I will beat you!"
Seeing that he actually went to the kitchen after saying that, Wu Chaozi hurriedly chased him in, and then deliberately squeezed in beside him to compete with him, "Mom, I don't want your help. You go home and help your wife."
"Hey! I just love to help my mother, what's wrong? What are you doing here, Wu Chaozi? You know how to roll noodles? I think you only know how to eat."
As the youngest son of the Jiang family, Wu Chaozi has never done much housework since he was a child. Compared with him, his second brother is indeed much better at cooking, doing laundry, washing dishes, and can do any housework.
"Okay, okay, don't get in the way, step out of the way," Erhuazi pushed his fifth brother away and asked his mother flatteringly, "Mom, is your skin okay with this thickness?"
Shen Su'e was very happy to have someone help her with her work. She turned around and glanced at the dumpling wrapper on her second son's hand, "Thinner."
"Okay!" Erhuazi responded happily.
He held a rolling pin in one hand and rotated the dumpling skins with the other hand, rolling them while rotating. In his hands, the dough turned into thin and round skins, which were slightly thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, a bit like
Straw hat shape.
Seeing his quick movements, Wu Chaozi took a step back consciously even though he was reluctant, "Mom, what can I do?"
"When the skins are rolled out, you can come in and help make dumplings together."
Not only Wu Chaozi, but his third and fourth brothers were also standing by the door blankly, watching their second brother roll out the dumpling wrappers as if showing off his skills.
"When it comes to the finer things in the kitchen, your second brother is still the best. He has learned from your mother, and he may be better than your mother in making dough," Jiang Qingshan said, "You should also learn a little bit and help more in the future."
Wu Chaozi murmured in a low voice, "It seems that the second brother is still more powerful. He comes to ask for meat from his mother. He is much smarter than the eldest brother!"
His father couldn't help but sigh, "Hey, after we separated the family, I was more worried about your eldest brother. After all, he is more stable. But now it seems that he can't even take care of his two sons, and he doesn't know what will happen in the future."
Are you having a good time?"
"Whatever, Dad, why do you worry about him?" Wu Chaozi said disdainfully.
In the house, wealth and wealth cling to Lingbao like followers.
Lingbao heard his mother say that he wanted to eat sauerkraut before, but now he was thinking about vegetable seeds. He turned back to Fugui and asked: "Do you like sauerkraut?"
"Sauerkraut?" Fugui pursed his lips, shook his head first, and then nodded.
"Do you know where I can get vegetable seeds?"
"Seed? Is it Sen?" Fugui looked confused.
Lingbao looked at the little carrot head in front of him, who was shorter than himself, and tried his best to explain, "Just bury it in the soil one by one, and then it will sprout."
Fugui clapped his little hands twice in sudden realization, "Oh, I understand! Seeds! My mother has them. She said she would plant some vegetables for me and wait until spring."
"Great! Can you give me the seeds?" The little girl took out ten biscuits and said, "I'll trade these with you."
After saying that, she was worried that Fugui wouldn't want to, so she handed him a biscuit first, "Would you like to try it first?"
