Chapter 25: Kindness

She had never made dumplings before, but subconsciously she thought it was easy.

But the moment she got the dumpling skin and filling, she felt melancholy.

Seeing other military wives making dumplings quickly and well, Ye Ying's confidence suffered a critical blow, and the bowl of minced meat filling in front of her suddenly lost its appeal.

Someone seemed to see through her embarrassment and teased her, "Ye Ying, why are you standing there? Wrap it quickly."

Zhou Lingling quickly followed up: "You don't even know how to make dumplings, do you?"

Ye Ying asked back: "Who is born knowing how to make dumplings? Is it shameful that I can't make dumplings?"

What the hell are these women thinking?!

Aren't they from the same world? How can someone be proud of being able to make dumplings?

Perhaps they hadn't expected Ye Ying to be so confident and righteous, and everyone at the table suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Afterwards, Zhao Ting laughed and said, "It seems that Captain Ji has no dumplings to eat today."

Everyone else laughed, except Liu Juan, who was quietly making her own dumplings.

I don’t know if it’s because of what happened yesterday, but Liu Juan was unexpectedly much more honest today.

Even his words became serious, and he didn't make sarcastic remarks to Ye Ying as usual.

Ye Ying raised her eyebrows in surprise, wondering how Liu Juan could have changed her personality in just one night.

Seeing that other military wives had already made a lot of dumplings, she simply lowered her head and began to concentrate on making dumplings.

Who cares? The end result is to wrap the minced meat in the dumpling skin. The only difference is whether it looks good or not.

She just wanted to taste the meat. It didn't matter to her whether the dumplings were ugly or not, as long as they were edible.

It just means that Ji Lianqi will suffer.

After figuring it out, Ye Ying started making dumplings faster, and soon the plate was more than half full.

But if you look closely, you can see that what she made are not dumplings at all.

The plate was filled with dough wrapped in minced meat that had been forced into crescent shapes.

Zhou Lingling saw this and couldn't help but said in a sly tone, "You call this a dumpling?"

"Yes." Ye Ying nodded solemnly. With her level, she could wrap it like this!

"Not surprising." Zhao Ting pursed her lips, "Someone is just too lazy to cook, there's no way he can make dumplings!"

"Ran Ran, I think you should make an extra portion for Captain Ji. Eating the dumplings she makes will poison you!"

Lin Ranran sneered disdainfully and said nothing, but she made dumplings even faster.

Ye Ying ignored the two people singing in unison and glanced curiously at the dumplings made by Lin Ranran.

I have to say, this bag is really good.

Compared to my own, it's like heaven and earth!

At this time, Ye Ying found that the bowl of stuffing in front of her was empty, but her dumpling plate was less than half full.

The whole plate was not even filled, and it was not enough for her and Ji Lianqi.

In particular, he consumes a lot of physical energy and his appetite will also be much bigger.

Even though it may not look good, it has to be filling.

So Ye Ying turned her attention to a bowl of stuffing next to her.

But as soon as she stretched out her hand, before the spoon even touched the meat, it was immediately knocked away by someone.

"You've already wrapped your own stuffing, why are you touching my stuffing?" Zhao Ting glared at her.

"Isn't the stuffing shared by everyone? How did it become yours?"

Lin Ranran, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up to add insult to injury: "Who told you that it's for everyone to share? You only use as much as you are given. Once you've used it up, it's gone."

Ye Ying said unhappily, "Then someone else was using my stuffing just now."

The person who used the filling in her bowl was Sun Lin.

Ji Lianqi told her that it was Sun Lin who saved her life when she suddenly suffered from high blood pressure and collapsed in the bathroom.

She also always remembers it and is grateful in her heart.

Although Sun Lin would usually get together and chat with other military wives, she never targeted her on purpose.

So it is unlikely that she would turn against Sun Lin.

Zhao Ting snorted: "Who uses yours? You use whose! Why touch mine?"

After hearing what Zhao Ting said, Sun Lin's face looked a little ugly.

She bit her lip and said, "Ye Ying, I used your stuffing, why don't you take some dumplings from me?"

"No thanks, Sunlin."

"I'll go find Sister Xiulian. I'll ask her how the stuffing is distributed!"

Ye Ying rejected Sun Lin, got up and walked to another big table to find Xiu Lian.

Only then did they discover that Political Commissar He's daughter, He Siting, was also there.

Ye Ying looked down at the dumplings she had made. They were so well made that they looked just as good as those made with a dumpling mold.

After hearing Ye Ying's doubts, Xiu Lian took her over to mediate.

But there were still some other fillings left, and no matter how much we persuaded her, she refused to give them evenly to Ye Ying.

When they were at an impasse, Liu Juan suddenly roared, "Okay, stop arguing! Ye Ying, use mine."

Then he pushed the remaining half bowl of minced meat in front of Ye Ying.

This move immediately aroused doubts.

"Hey, Liu Juan, aren't you two sworn enemies? When did you become so generous?"

"This is not like you. Didn't you just fight with this fat guy yesterday? How come you gave in after being beaten?"

Facing several teasing voices, Liu Juan's face froze: "What's wrong? Can't I, Liu Juan, suddenly be kind?"

"Okay, okay, Liu Juan, you are the kindest." Zhou Lingling joked.

Ye Ying stared at the minced meat that Liu Juan brought over and found it a little unbelievable.

This woman treated me like an enemy yesterday, why did she become such a different person today?

What exactly happened?

It's like a ghost. She is not used to seeing Liu Juan like this!

Seeing that the problem was solved, Xiulian gently reminded, "It's almost time for dinner, everyone should hurry up. Otherwise, your husband will be hungry."

It's already half past four. We usually start eating at five o'clock here.

Seeing that the dumplings were almost done, everyone started to leave the cafeteria one after another, carrying their wrapped dumplings and going back to cook them themselves.

The cafeteria was empty in a short while.

Married families usually have pots and pans, so they can cook their own meals and add side dishes from time to time, so they don’t have to eat at the canteen with little oil every day.

But Ye Ying was different. Neither she nor Ji Lianqi even had a pot!

She was suddenly in trouble.

How can I eat these dumplings if I don’t have a pot to cook them in?

Most people in the cafeteria had already left. Ye Ying was frowning when she noticed an old chef from the kitchen resting nearby.

When the enthusiastic old teacher learned of Ye Ying's request, he agreed to help her cook the dumplings without even thinking about it.

At exactly five o'clock, Ye Ying returned to the house with two bowls of cooked dumplings in soup.

Although it doesn't look very good, the filling is well-seasoned and the taste should not be too bad.

At around 5:15, Ji Lianqi pushed the door open.

He looked at the two bowls of ugly dumplings on the table and frowned.
