Chapter 360 Pork Dumplings

If my baby doesn't come back, I won't steam rice or cook meat.

"Okay, Grandma," Sanni replied, then turned and ran towards the Gu family's house.

Zhou Zhaodi also learned from others about the Gu family's visit, and she was overjoyed.

After all, the better the Gu family's conditions, the more blessed the baby will be after marrying into their family, and the more they can help them in the future.

In a few years, when my two children grow up, they might be able to pull some strings and get jobs as workers at the power plant.

She doesn't even aspire to be a permanent employee; she'd be perfectly content with being a temporary worker.

Li Chunhua secretly resolved that she would show Jinbao to Gu Qingshan and Jiang Manyun more often in the future.

Jinbao is so lovable, and he's a boy, they'll definitely like him when they see him.

If they treat that money-losing guy so well, wouldn't Jinbao be able to get even more?

Who knows, maybe they'll marry their daughter to Jinbao if they have one in the future.

The Gu family is so rich, the dowry they'll give will definitely be more than what other families in town give away when they marry off their daughters!

Just thinking about it made Li Chunhua excited, and she completely forgot that among the various branches of the Chen family, Gu Qingshan and Jiang Manyun had the coldest attitude towards the couple from the third branch.

Both of them looked down on her and Chen Jianye for their excessive preference for sons over daughters and their harsh treatment and beatings of their daughter.

How could someone be so heartless as to give away such a lovely and sensible daughter to someone else to raise!

While Old Chen's family was cooking, Sanni came back with a bowl of cabbage dumplings: "Grandma, my baby won't be home for dinner tonight. Aunt Jiang asked me to bring back a bowl of dumplings for him."

Ma Xiulian guessed that the Gu family would invite her younger brother-in-law and daughter to stay for dinner, so she cut the meat but didn't cook it, and simply put it in the cupboard and locked it.

The Chen family was delighted to see the bowl of dumplings. They knew the Gu family was generous, and the dumplings should at least be filled with pork cracklings.

Erni was very jealous when she heard that Gu Bao wasn't coming back and that the Gu family had sent dumplings over again. She was sure that Gu Bao was eating meat at the Gu family's house again!

You brat, you're already so fat and you still keep eating!

All she does is eat and play; she never helps with any chores around the house. I really don't know what they value in her!

"The Gu family is really generous!"

Looking at the plump, round dumplings, Zhou Zhaodi smiled and suggested happily, "Mom, let me try a bite first and see what kind of filling it has."

As he spoke, he reached into the basin.

"Smack!"

Ma Xiulian slapped her hand away quickly, scolding her impatiently, "Are you a reincarnated starving ghost? We've never let you go hungry!"

She always looks so greedy; if others saw her, they would think that she, as the mother-in-law, had been skimping on food.

Zhou Zhaodi wasn't angry at all, and said with a smile, "Then I'll help count how many dumplings there are, so it'll be easier for the whole family to share."

Judging by the portion size, at least one person can eat one.

This time, Ma Xiulian didn't stop her. Anyway, she was going to count the dumplings herself, otherwise they might fight over eating one more.

"Mom, there are thirty dumplings in one bowl," Zhou Zhaodi quickly counted and reported truthfully.

There are thirty dumplings in a bowl. Not counting the baby, there are nine children and eleven adults in the family. Ma Xiulian immediately made a plan: "Except for the pregnant eldest son's wife and the fifth son's wife, the eldest, second son and youngest son will each have two, and the others will each have one."

The rest will be saved for my baby to eat tomorrow morning.

No one had any objections. The dumplings were big and had plenty of filling; everyone was happy to be able to eat just one.
