How can we not eat dumplings for New Year’s Eve dinner?
After eating every dish, there is nothing better than having a bowl of hot dumplings as a finish.
It's indeed a several-year-old wine, quite strong.
Lin Yian burped, with the aroma of wine still lingering in his mouth. He slowly picked up a dumpling and put it into his mouth.
The dumplings are also delicious...
I just feel a little dizzy.
Lin Yian picked up another dumpling and thought, if he had known earlier, he would not have drunk the rest of the fermented rice wine in the bowl. Although it has been diluted, it is still very strong.
Lin Yian looked at the four dumplings left in the bowl and touched his slightly bulging belly: "Xiaohua, are you full?"
Lin Jianhua swallowed the dumpling in his mouth: "Not yet."
Lin Yian perked up a bit and pushed the bowl towards Lin Jianhua: "Then help me eat these. I haven't even touched my chopsticks yet."
Lin Jianhua nodded and poured the remaining dumplings in Lin Yian’s bowl into his own bowl.
Wang Juan scooped the remaining dumplings from the pot onto a plate and brought it over. When she saw an empty bowl, she immediately wanted to use a spoon to fill it up: "Aci, how do you like the taste? Do you want some more?"
Lin Yian quickly protected the bowl: "I'm full. The dumplings taste great, just the right amount of saltiness."
Wang Juan put down the plate with regret. She was still too thin and should eat more.
"Come, drink some hawthorn water to help digestion."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Lin Yian took the bowl of hawthorn water and drank it slowly. He had to stay up all night for so long that his mouth felt a little lonely.
Hawthorn water, just right.
After the whole family finished their meal, everyone did not disperse but gathered in one room, doing their own things and chatting from time to time.
Lin Jiancheng and his younger brothers were cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen, while Wang Juan directly brought a bag of soybeans over, set up a table, and together with Huo Fang and Fan Zhu, the three of them started carrying the soybeans.
Lin Dejiang and Lin Dehai discussed with their sons how to sow seeds in the spring this year.
Lin Yian had nothing to do, so he took out a notebook and started making up questions, while listening to the conversation of his family members.
"We have to buy fertilizer after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. If the thaw comes early like last year, it will be very difficult to buy fertilizer."
Lin Anmin nodded and said, "Of course. If there is a lack of fertilizer, the crops will suffer this year."
Last year the thaw came much earlier than in previous years. At that time, several villages rushed to grab fertilizer, and it was very difficult to buy enough fertilizer.
Especially those people from Lijia Village used a lot of dirty tricks, they were really shameless.
As he was talking, Lin Dejiang remembered something else: "Don't mix the seeds with fertilizer when sowing. Pay more attention to it. Don't learn from Lijia Village. If you save effort in this step, you will save harvest on the land."
Lin Anmin simply nodded in agreement. Although many people in the village understood this principle, there were still some people who wanted to be lazy.
After Lin Yian finished writing a question, he paused and couldn't help thinking: It seems that Lijia Village usually does a lot of bad things. Well, it's not easy to have such a team leader who can think of everything.
"Sister, what are you writing?"
The dishes in the kitchen were almost washed, and Lin Jiancheng and his brothers came over one after another. Lin Jianzhen was the first to ask a question out of curiosity.
Lin Yi'an came back to his senses and answered Lin Jianzhen's question: "Try to do two of the questions I gave you now?"
Watch out for an arrow!
Why do we have to do homework on New Year’s Eve?
But this is also what my third sister worked so hard to pay for. Wouldn’t it be bad to reject it directly?
Lin Yian looked at the tangled expression on Lin Jianzhen's face and immediately adjusted his expression. He picked up the notebook in his hand and shook it: "Try it?"
The questions given by the third sister are so difficult to answer...
Lin Yian couldn't hold it in any longer. The serious expression on his face disappeared immediately and he smiled: "Okay, you have to do it if you want to. I haven't finished the questions yet. If you want to do it, you have to wait a few more days."
Lin Jianzhen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran back to the kitchen to help bring up the prepared dried fruits.
The melon seeds and peanuts are all bought, and they are only eaten during the Chinese New Year, so Wang Juan is unwilling to go through the trouble of frying them herself.
Lin Yian grabbed a few melon seeds and peeled them in his hands. Hmm, he suddenly felt like eating peanut, melon seed and sesame candy.
It has moderate hardness, is sweet and fragrant, and is crunchy when chewed.
Lin Yian has a habit of eating melon seeds. He needs to collect a small handful before eating any of them. He feels very satisfied that way.
So from time to time a hand would reach out to take two melon seeds, so that the pile of melon seeds in front of her never reached the level she wanted to eat.
Until the hand reached out again, Lin Yian directly picked up a handful of melon seeds and stuffed it into this hand.
"If you want to eat it, peel it yourself. Peel some for me."
Although Lin Jianbin was harsh in his words, his hands were honest: "You peeled them but didn't eat them, so I only ate two."
Two?
Lin Yian snorted inwardly and began to calculate how many of her pills this boy had eaten.
"Eighteen."
Lin Yian looked at Lin Jianhua in surprise and delight: "Yes, eighteen, peel them quickly; if you didn't take any, I would have already collected a handful."
"Why do you have to collect enough to eat?" Lin Jianbin peeled a few and placed them in front of Lin Yian.
Lin Yian picked up the pen and snapped the cap. "Do you have any objections?"
Lin Jianbin immediately sensed the danger coming from the snapping sound, and he quickened his hands: "No! Here, see if these are enough."
Lin Yian picked up several pills and stuffed them into his mouth one at a time: "That's enough. I'll let you go this time."
Lin Jianbin swept all the melon seed shells into the dustpan on the ground, and quickly grabbed the small pile of melon seeds in front of Lin Yian and stuffed them into his mouth, puffing up his cheeks and chewing hard: "Well, Third Sister, you are right, it is delicious."
Lin Yian took a few deep breaths, raised a kind smile and said, "It's delicious. You have good taste, so you must have good energy too."
Lin Yian picked up the notebook and turned to a new page: "Do a question to practice. If you miss a step, you can do two more questions for me."
The food snatcher is unforgivable!
Must be taught a lesson!

"Wake up, wake up. Master, Xiaoyu is awake."
Li Heming pushed Bao Yan away. His hands, which were usually very steady when holding a needle, couldn't help but tremble twice before he could feel the girl's pulse.
"My qi and blood are somewhat depleted. I need to take good care of myself in the future..."
Li Xiaoyu was confused for a moment and couldn't help rubbing the back of her neck. The palm strike on the back of her neck was not strong enough and it still hurt a little.
Li Xiaoyu rubbed her eyes before recognizing the face in front of her: "Grandpa...Grandpa!"
"Ah!" Listening carefully, one could not help but choke on this sound.
Li Heming touched his granddaughter's yellow hair, his eyes filled with heartache: "Xiaoyu, why are you here?"
Li Xiaoyu couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes and burst into tears: "I... I came to the countryside. Uncle Fan said there was a surprise waiting for me here, and he really didn't lie to me."
She found her grandparents!
