I only get to eat dumplings during the holidays. I didn’t expect that my husband was so capable even though he was injured. He made so many dumplings in one go. It’s really amazing!
"I like to eat leek dumplings the most! Wow! So delicious!"
Cheng Tianyuan saw that she was eating quickly and couldn't help but advise: "Be careful, there is still a lot in the pot, eat slowly, don't get burned!"
Xue Ling stopped talking and kept eating.
The homemade dumplings have thin skin and plenty of filling. The leeks and meat are extremely fresh. They are also coated with a thin layer of oil. When you bite into them, they are fragrant and tender - they are really delicious!
Cheng Tianyuan took one bite and explained: "There is also cabbage stuffing in it. The cabbage is home-grown and is very sweet. You can try it later, maybe you will like cabbage more."
"Yeah, yeah!" Xue Ling couldn't help but nodded.
Seeing that she was eating quickly, Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "Are you hungry? That's right. We had breakfast very early today, and it's already past twelve o'clock. I was busy making dumplings just now, and after the fillings were all wrapped,
It’s already twelve o’clock.”
"It's okay." Xue Ling said, "Eat this time so you won't be too hungry for dinner."
Cheng Tianyuan gave her a doting look and whispered: "You are always right."
I don't know if educated people are better at talking, but he found that everything she said seemed to be correct.
When he came home the day before yesterday, his old father secretly grabbed his hand and whispered that Lingling was a good old wife, knowledgeable and well-informed.
She is so eloquent, sensible, and considerate. No wonder her parents recognized her so much within just a few days of being together!
Xue Ling chuckled and raised her chin proudly.
"What I say is all the truth, and it is also the truth with reason and evidence!"
Cheng Tianyuan pushed the soy sauce in her direction and said warmly: "A little bit of this sauce will prevent you from getting sick of it easily. There's a lot of meat in the dumplings!"
Xue Ling looked outside and found that the sky was a little dark.
"Look, there might be some light rain this afternoon."
Cheng Tianyuan said: "You need to bring a raincoat and a coat. The weather will get cooler when it rains. Don't catch a cold."
Xue Ling nodded and said: "I won't go to work until two o'clock. I'll go up and do some translation after I'm full. It won't be too late before I get there."
After eating, Cheng Tianyuan took the initiative to clear the table and wash the dishes.
Xue Ling rushed to do it and said: "Your foot is still injured. You are a patient and you should rest."
Cheng Tianyuan pushed her away and refused to refuse: "You still have to work, and I have nothing to do. This is a leg injury, not a hand injury. I just stand here and don't keep my legs resting?"
Xue Ling couldn't help but smile and wiped his hands upstairs.
She didn't take a break, and hurriedly did more translations, and didn't go out until about 1:40.
Cheng Tianyuan sat outside the small living room, pointed to a half-year-old raincoat on the table, and said: "Bring it with you. If it really rains, you have to put it on."
Xue Ling stepped forward quickly, picked it up and stuffed it into a military-colored bag.
Cheng Tianyuan reminded: "I bought this before. It's a little big for you. You have to be careful when you turn."
"I know!" Xue Ling told him not to run around, turned around and went downstairs.
She went to work on her bicycle.
When we arrived at the newspaper office, everyone had just rested and was getting ready to go to work. When they saw her pushing her bicycle, they couldn't help but ask her when she bought the bicycle.
Xue Ling explained with a smile: "I bought it the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival. My husband bought it for his friend."
When everyone asked about the price, they all praised it and said it was cheap.
Liu Xing patted his thigh and said in frustration: "Why didn't I have a chance to catch such a great opportunity? Look at this car, it's really new, it's not an exaggeration to say it's brand new!"
Editor Lin laughed and said: "That's the way it is, you want it, but you don't! When the day comes that you don't want it anymore, the opportunity will come to you!"
"Sister Lin, you are so venomous!" Liu Xing was angry and funny.
At this time, Deputy Director Zhen came out and saw them gathering together, and immediately put on the leadership airs.
"What are you doing?! It's time to go to work, what are you doing here? Did the newspaper hire you to come here to chat and laugh? Huh?"
Everyone immediately dispersed and got into work quickly and hurriedly.
Xue Ling's work is not heavy. Every time she finishes the column content, she checks it twice, and then takes time to read English books and look up the dictionary.
When she was studying in school, she would only do translation tasks occasionally. She had never even thought about a big project like translating books.
If it weren't for Xiao Jiaxue, a good friend who made the decision, and she was short of money, she would have dared not do it before!
Fortunately, the newspaper office has a lot of books, including dictionaries, so when she encounters difficulties in translation, she will secretly write them down, look them up when she has time at work, and remember them after learning.
She is the only one in the newspaper who understands English. Wang Qing only knows a few words, so she is responsible for her columns alone. Editor Lin takes a few glances and approves them.
Others couldn't understand what she usually did in the newspaper office, so they never paid attention to her.
Even Deputy Director Zhen, a famously "strict" boss, didn't know how to take care of her. He saw her sitting there quietly writing and reading, and had no chance to take care of her, so he stopped taking care of her.
So she "openly" deserted her job until get off work.
Colleagues packed up and some shouted: "There are more and more dark clouds! It looks like it's going to rain heavily!"
"Yes! Let's go home quickly! Don't get soaked in the water!"
Although Xue Ling had a raincoat, he was afraid of heavy rain, so he quickly threw his bag on his shoulder and strode outside.
"Xiao Xue! Xiao Xue!" Someone called her from behind.
Xue Ling turned around and saw the old aunt in the back kitchen walking quickly with two aluminum lunch boxes, and hurriedly came forward to greet her.
"Auntie, what's wrong?"
The old aunt smiled and explained: "I didn't know you asked for leave this morning. I didn't know until lunch was served that you asked for half a day. I thought you would come over to eat, so I left it in the big pot in the kitchen to warm it. I will
I was so preoccupied with cleaning that I forgot about it for a moment."
Xue Ling felt warm in her heart and said: "Auntie, let me give it to you!"
The old aunt shook her head and refused: "No, this is a benefit given to you by the newspaper, how can I be embarrassed to take it! Besides, I also had lunch! You can take it back for dinner, it's still warm!"
Xue Ling had no choice but to thank him and take it, stuffing it into the bag and saying, "Then I'll bring the lunch box over tomorrow."
The old aunt waved her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, just remember to bring it over."
Seeing that the sky was dark, Xue Ling did not dare to delay any longer and hurriedly rode to Songming Road.
Unexpectedly, when we were about to arrive, it started to rain heavily!
Pedestrians on the road dodged and some started running.
Xue Ling quickly jumped out of the car, took out his raincoat, put it on, and rode back to the rental house.
Before he reached the door, he saw Cheng Tianyuan holding an umbrella and peeping his head out, waiting for him. He was obviously relieved when he saw her turning in on her bicycle.
