"No, just work hard. Remember, don't do anything illegal. Even if you don't have to work anymore, don't do it!"
After Yu Yang's father finished speaking, he quickly walked home with the things Yu Yang bought, with a happy smile on his face: "Old lady, come and see what good things my son has bought for you.
The clothes are all from brands you’ve seen on TV!”
Yu Yang watched his father walking towards his home, and sighed slightly in his heart, filled with emotion. He must live and live well so that he can honor his parents.
He took out the two largest bags in the car, closed the trunk, and walked into his home holding the boxes.
The house is still the same as before, with four old-fashioned rooms, a main room, a side room and a kitchen. Yu's mother is holding Gu Yuerou's hand and asking questions. It's just how she met Yu Yang, how long they have known each other, and who they are.
Gu Yuerou sat aside and listened quietly, replying a few words from time to time. Mother Yu was very happy.
"Hey, son, you go make dumplings and eat them tomorrow morning. I'm going to cook for you now. You kid, you brought someone back without saying a word, so I can prepare it in advance!"
After saying that, he turned pale again like Yu Yang, and then looked at Gu Yuerou: "Miss Gu, just sit here and watch TV, and I'll cook for you!"
"Auntie, let me go and help you!"
Mother Yu immediately stood up and waved her hand: "No, no, you can just sit here. Hey, old man, you come with me to cook. Leave the dumplings for your son and Miss Gu to make more!" After that,
After that, he winked at Yu Yang, pulled Yu Yang's father and walked towards him quickly.
After his parents walked out, Yu Yang glanced at Gu Yuerou, walked to the basin next to the door and washed his hands: "You are still going to help my mother, can you cook?"
Gu Yuerou shrugged her shoulders: "No, but I can learn. Can you teach me how to make dumplings? I've always wanted to learn, but never had the chance. Today is the perfect day!"
After Yu Yang heard this, he nodded: "No problem, wash your hands first. The conditions in my hometown are a bit bad, I hope you won't be offended!" After Yu Yang finished speaking, he poured out the water in the basin again and gave Gu Yuerou a fresh rinse.
A basin of water.
"It doesn't matter, this is good. I'm quite envious. It feels like home. It's not like my home in the United States, which is just an empty house. Other than that, there is no human atmosphere. If possible, I also hope
To have such a family." Gu Yuerou felt quite sad while washing her hands.
"Your parents are gone?" Yu Yang was very interested in Gu Yuerou. He had never heard Gu Yuerou mention anything about him before. After Gu Yuerou spoke today, Yu Yang had the opportunity to ask.
"No, it's just that they are busy with their work all year round. When I was a child, I only spent two holidays with them. I didn't see anyone on weekdays. Apart from the house, there were only two servants, Filipinos. They
But Spring Festival!”
"Okay, you envy my family. Do you know how many people envy you who grew up in a family like yours? You were carefree and had no worries about food and clothing since you were a child. This is a besieged city. People inside want to get out and people outside want to get in. If you
If you were born in my family and you were not married at this age, I guess you wouldn’t even want to go home during the holidays!”
"Why?" Gu Yuerou came to Yu Yang's side and looked at Yu Yang curiously. Gu Yuerou now was like a curious baby, curious about everything.
"Because tomorrow, your seven aunts, eight aunts, and all kinds of relatives will come to your house. The first thing they ask about is why you are not married yet, why you don't have a girlfriend yet. Every time
It’s the same every year, and nothing is repeated. Don’t believe it, you’ll know it by this time tomorrow. Okay, I’ll teach you how to make dumplings!”
After Yu Yang finished speaking, he took a dumpling wrapper and placed it in the center of his hand. Then he picked up a small spoon, scooped out a small spoonful of meat filling and placed it in the middle of the dumpling wrapper. Then he brought the two sides together, and then put it into the middle of the dumpling wrapper.
He pinched the edge of the dumpling tightly with his hands and held it in his hand to show Gu Yuerou: "Making dumplings is that simple, how about it? Can it be done?"
Gu Yuerou watched Yu Yang making dumplings attentively, and then nodded: "It doesn't seem to be difficult, let me try it!"
After finishing speaking, he followed Yu Yang's example and put a dumpling wrapper in his hand, and then scooped a spoonful of meat filling into it. The two sides overlapped, but he found that the bulging pieces could not be closed at all. After Yu Yang saw this scene
, and immediately laughed.
"Don't put too much. If you put too much stuffing in the dumplings, the dumplings will crack when they are cooked. You need to make less stuffing. Do you think I don't want to give you dumplings so I put so little meat stuffing in them? I
You’re not so stingy!”
After Yu Yang finished speaking, he picked up the dumpling in Gu Yuerou's hand, removed part of the meat filling, and then kneaded it again: "Look, just like this, the key point of making dumplings is to make sure
Don’t put too much stuffing, remember?”
"Okay, let me try again! It doesn't seem to be very simple." Gu Yuerou stuck out her tongue and started to make dumplings again.
"Hey, it's not like this. You have to align it."
"Well, just pinch it gently without using so much force."
"..."
I have to admit that learning to cook requires a certain amount of talent. Even if some people are as smart as Gu Yuerou, their talent in cooking is almost zero. Yu Yang taught her for five minutes.
, Gu Yuerou finally made her own dumpling.
"You tell me, why can't I use two dumpling skins? In this case, put the meat filling in the middle and put them together. In this case, the dumplings will be bigger and have more meat, and it is convenient!"
After making a few dumplings, Gu Yuerou suddenly thought of a whimsical method. After Yu Yang heard this, he glanced at her and indicated that he could give it a try.
"Okay, pretend I didn't say it!" Gu Yuerou stuck out his tongue again and continued to make dumplings. The two of them made dumplings for more than an hour and chatted for an hour. Yu Yang felt that he at least understood a little bit.
Gu Yuerou softened.
Gu Yuerou is Chinese and Chinese-American. Her father is a pilot in civil aviation, and her mother is a senior executive of a Fortune 500 company. It can be said that children with such family conditions should be very happy.
However, Gu Yuerou's parents hardly see each other all year round due to work. Unlike Yu Yang who was forced to go to school in other places or serve as a soldier, Gu Yuerou lived at home but could not see his parents.
And Gu Yuerou is very smart. Not only does she have a doctorate in psychology, but she also has an MBA, a double degree. She is now preparing to go to Peking University to study Chinese, at least compared to Yu Yang, who went to the army after graduating from high school.
I don’t know how many times the boss is stronger.
Back then, it wasn't that Yu Yang's family couldn't afford to go to school, but that he didn't want to go and his parents had no choice but to send him to the army to serve as a soldier.
