She didn't like being polite and just stuffed the chopsticks into his hand.

The village chief swallowed his saliva. Dumplings! White flour dumplings! His eyes widened as he carefully picked up one, not even wanting to blow away the heat, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

He chewed and chewed until it was broken into pieces before he was willing to swallow it.

He stared at the big, plump dumplings in the bowl and said shyly, "Can I take them home to eat? Let the children have some too..."

"Of course, just bring the bowl back tomorrow." Jiang Yue's expression remained unchanged. He didn't take it seriously, which made him feel more at ease.

Jiang Yue changed his bowl to a bigger one, which already had eight dumplings in it. She didn't add more, but did scoop some soup into it.

Village chief He thanked them and, fearing the soup would spill, he held it with both hands and carried it carefully home.

He didn't even dare to knock on the door.

His wife knew that he went to the Jiang family to ask for help, but she didn't expect that he even brought back some food.

"dumpling!"

His daughter exclaimed, then lowered her voice, "Dad! Where are the dumplings?"

Village Chief He also whispered, "This is a gift from the Jiang family. It's stuffed with pork and wild vegetables! Eat it while it's hot! Two per person. I've already eaten!"

Pork! Oh my god! I'm already drooling before I even start eating...

After the village chief left, Jiang Yue took out the seasoning. She liked to dip her dumplings in vinegar and chili peppers. Jiang Nian didn't like dipping sauces, he just liked to eat them plain.

This big eater was not satisfied with just one plate, so he took the bowl and ate more than fifty at a time.

Jiang Yue didn't feel bad and said with a smile, "It's delicious. If you don't have enough, make more tomorrow. Eat your fill, Master Jiang will go back to work tomorrow."

Jiang Nian's cheeks were puffed up as he chewed dumplings with a puzzled look on his face.

Master Jiang? Who? Him?
