It was obvious that it was Jiang Meilan and Huo Jinxi. They brought a lot of food and drinks. When Old Man Shen saw them, he couldn't help but frowned, "What's going on? Aren't they just here for a New Year's Eve dinner? Why are they bringing so many things?"

"It would be embarrassing if I didn't bring it." Jiang Meilan smiled, handed the bags in her hands to Shen Zhiyi and Shen Zhishu who came out with Old Man Shen, and led Huo Jinxi in.

She was already very familiar with the Shen family, so there was no need for her to be too polite. She went straight to the kitchen and asked if she needed help.

Her hometown is in the north, and she said she could cook some local specialties for the Shen family to try. Seeing her firm attitude, Mrs. Shen couldn't refuse, so she agreed.

The most distinctive northern food is dumplings.

Jiang Meilan skillfully kneaded the dough and rolled out the skin, and also made three kinds of fillings, namely cabbage and pork filling, mushroom and pork filling, and leek and pork filling.

The children all gathered around and learned how to make dumplings from her.

Fubao also took the dough with great interest, and imitated Jiang Meilan, scooped a spoonful of meat filling with a spoon and put it in, then picked up the dough and pinched it into beautiful folds with his fingers.

Although the dumplings were not as good-looking as those made by Jiang Meilan, they were almost the same.

After all, Fubao is essentially a girl, not a real baby, so she did better than her four brothers. Soon she had made a dozen plump white dumplings, each of which looked like a gold ingot, and was very adorable. Jiang Meilan praised her profusely.

Huo Jinxi would not miss the opportunity to spend time with Fubao, so he stood beside her and started making dumplings with her.

He had never done this before, but when he did it with Fubao, he actually found it quite interesting.

Watching Fubao wrap another dumpling, Huo Jinxi said, "Fubao, I don't know how to make it, can you teach me?"

Fubao took a look at him and saw that the two dumplings he made were very ugly, with the meat filling leaking out. He couldn't help but shook his head and began to teach him step by step.

"Hey, put the meat filling in first, then fold the dumpling wrapper..."

"Oh." Huo Jinxi certainly didn't really want to learn, but he lowered his head and stared at her serious and focused little face.

When her little hand touched his fingertips, it was as if a warm current flowed into his heart, making him feel particularly happy.

"Do you understand?" Fubao asked him, tilting his little head.

"Won't."

Even if he could, he would have to say it.

Xiaobai, who was squatting nearby, heard this and suddenly felt a little contempt for him.

Your Majesty is really scheming. He pretends not to understand and wants the little girl to teach him!

"Oh, I've taught you twice and you still don't understand. You're so stupid!" Fubao said as he continued to teach.

Huo Jinxi was not annoyed at all when she called him stupid. Instead, she felt even happier.

There are eleven people in the family now. We have wrapped hundreds of dumplings and are waiting to be cooked. The children are very much looking forward to it.

In order to prevent the children from going hungry, Mrs. Shen and Lin Xiujuan worked quickly to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner before dark.

There were more than a dozen dishes on the newly bought big round table, and there was almost no room for them.

At this time, the whole family was gathered together. Shen Zhiyi and Shen Zhile were dazzled when they saw the chicken, duck, fish, meat, shrimp, crabs and shellfish on the table.

This is the first time in their lives that they have eaten such a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner. It feels like a dream!

In the past, there weren't so many meat dishes. At most, there was a little bacon and fish, plus a few vegetarian dishes. In short, it was very shabby. This year, they could eat as much meat as they wanted, and they couldn't wait to pick up their chopsticks.
