Lin Yan also washed her hands and sat over to help make dumplings. With one more hand, the process went much faster.
After a while, all the remaining shepherd's purse and meat filling were wrapped, and Liu Ma went to the kitchen to make dumplings.
The remaining dumplings that cannot be eaten today should be frozen in the refrigerator first.
Lin Yan helped put it in the refrigerator, and when she reached a steaming plate, Lu Yingqian spoke quickly.
"Sister-in-law, don't put the steamed buns in the refrigerator yet, we'll cook them later!"
Lin Yan put down the steaming plate without thinking too much and asked casually, "What flavor is this? Do you want some? Aunt Liu is cooking dumplings in the kitchen. Take them to the kitchen first."
Lu Yingqian on the other side paused, seemed a little embarrassed, but still pretended to be calm and spoke.
"Don't take the dumplings in the steamer to the kitchen yet. Let's cook them after we finish breakfast."
Lin Yan looked over, seemingly puzzled.
"I made these dumplings myself, and I wanted to send them to Brother Liang. Brother Liang is on the day shift today." Lu Yingqian couldn't help but blushed a little.
Lin Yan immediately understood and naturally did not object. Instead, she nodded with a smile: "I understand. I prepared this specially for Mr. Liang."
Lu Yingqian pursed her lips, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then spoke again.
"Sister-in-law, do you have any plans with your brother tonight?"
Hearing the familiar question, Lin Yan glanced at Lu Yingqian, whose eyes were sparkling: "Liang Huo asked you out."
"Well, let's go to the riverside to set off fireworks."
Lin Yan couldn't help but joked, "You're not going to ask me to send your brother away this time, are you?"
Lu Yingqian was also a little embarrassed, but she shook her head and pretended to be calm: "Now Brother Liang and I are in a legitimate relationship, and dating is normal."
Lin Yan chuckled, but stopped teasing her and answered the question she had asked at the beginning.
"Your brother and I won't go out at night. It's too dark and cold outside. I'm pregnant, so it's not convenient."
"We are both old, so it's nice to stay up in the living room and watch the Spring Festival Gala to celebrate the New Year."
Lu Jinghuai just heard these words when he came out of the study upstairs. He was silent for a few seconds. How could he be old?
However, because Lin Yan said "the two of us", Lu Jinghuai pursed his lips and felt that it was not unacceptable.
In addition to the dumplings cooked by Liu Ma, breakfast also included a few side dishes.
Lin Yan has had no appetite recently. She was hungry at first, but when the dumplings were served, she ate three or four and couldn't eat anymore.
However, Lin Yan liked the sour radish that Liu Ma had pickled a few days ago very much and ate half a plate in one go.
Aunt Liu frowned as she watched, "How can those dumplings fill me up? Just eating pickled radish won't do either. How about I make some millet porridge to go with the pickled radish?"
Lin Yan waved her hand and said, "No, I'm not hungry now. I'll find something to eat when I'm hungry later."
Aunt Liu could only nod. After cleaning up, she would start preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Lin Yan also said to Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu, you can take a rest when you are almost ready. We will cook together in the evening. I will be in the mood when we are all busy together."
Lin Yan talked to Liu Ma yesterday about the idea of cooking together for the New Year's Eve dinner tonight. Liu Ma naturally refused. In her opinion, even though the chefs at home were on holiday.
But her cooking skills are still pretty good. Although it is a bit busy to prepare a New Year's Eve dinner, she is not overwhelmed.
However, Lin Yan said that she felt involved only when she cooked, and it felt like the New Year, and it was boring to just wait for the meal.
Aunt Liu could only agree, but she was thinking of preparing a few more dishes and processing them in advance, so that when Lin Yan wanted to play with them, she could just cook them casually, so she didn't refuse at this time.
While the two were talking, Lu Yingqian came out of the kitchen with a lunch box. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Lu Jinghuai was not in the living room.
However, before he even stepped out of the door, Lu Jinghuai came out of the bathroom and saw Lu Yingqian at the door. He frowned and asked, "Where are you going during the New Year?"
Lu Yingqian froze and looked at Lin Yan for help.
Lin Yan chuckled and didn't let Lu Yingqian down. She took the initiative to smooth things over: "Qianqian said she and her friends made an appointment to go out for a walk today. It's getting late. Qianqian, go quickly and don't keep anyone waiting anxiously."
Lu Yingqian gave Lin Yan a grateful look, then said, "Brother and sister-in-law, I'm leaving first." Then she quickly slipped out the door.
The door to the living room was closed, but Lu Jinghuai looked at Lin Yan, who was sitting on the sofa with a smile on her face, and asked, "Huh?"
"She went to see Liang Huo, right?"
"How did you know?" Lin Yan raised her eyebrows, but the smile in her eyes had not faded.
Lu Jinghuai snorted, "She looked at me with such a guilty look that I was too lazy to expose her."
Lin Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing, and leaned on Lu Jinghuai's shoulder: "Then why didn't you stop Qianqian from going out, and let her go."
Lu Jinghuai glanced at her and said, "Would it be any use if I didn't let her go out? Her heart has already flown away. And you, as her sister-in-law, are already in cahoots with them."
Lu Jinghuai's last sentence was particularly dissatisfied. Lin Yan couldn't help laughing again, but when she saw Lu Jinghuai frowning, she kissed him on the face.
"How could I be in the same group with them? You are my husband, of course I am in the same group with you!"
Lu Jinghuai was successfully coaxed by Lin Yan, and his eyebrows raised slightly.
Lu Yingqian didn't come back at noon today. She sent a text message to Lin Yan, saying that she was on duty at the bureau with Liang Huo. Liang Huo invited her to dinner and asked Lin Yan to talk to Lu Jinghuai.
Lin Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she still told Lu Jinghuai. Lu Jinghuai snorted in displeasure again: "Why didn't she tell me in person?"
Lin Yan was no longer accommodating to Lu Jinghuai and glanced at him directly: "Don't you know why Qianqian didn't tell you in person? The little girl was afraid that you would be angry."
"Tell me, you already agreed for them to be together, why are you still looking at me in such a bad mood?" Lin Yan couldn't help but complain.
"I didn't agree. We are just dating now. We might break up one day." Lu Jinghuai said with a cold "huh".
Lin Yan was silent for a few seconds. "If they break up, what good will it do you? Mr. Liang is a nice guy, and you know he's a decent person. If they break up, can you find someone similar to Mr. Liang for Qianqian?"
Of course not. Liang Huo was one of the outstanding young men in North City. Most importantly, he was a clean person and did not have the bad habits of those in his circle.
Lu Jinghuai frowned for a long time before relaxing his brows, but he still spoke: "I just think Liang Huo is a beast. He kidnapped Qianqian not long after she came back. Maybe he has had feelings for her for a long time. How old was Qianqian when she disappeared? What a beast!"
Lin Yan was at a loss for words: "You're quite good at putting accusations on others. Why can't you just have a good impression of Qianqian when you find her back?"
