Just as the dumplings were brought to the main room, Xiao Dan came out.
Seeing the plump, white dumplings on the table, their eyes lit up.
"Ah Tong, is there dumpling in the cafeteria today?"
He really likes this, and he hasn't had it in ages; he's been craving it.
“There was still some flour at home, so I wrapped it up and ate it when I saw Xiaolan come back.”
"Xiaolan is back?"
The leader was somewhat surprised. Wasn't it supposed to be a free medical clinic?
"Greetings, sir. I returned last night. You've woken up just in time for dinner."
Liu Xiaolan brought over the bowl and took over the conversation herself.
"Okay, sure."
Liu Xiaolan often came over to visit, and she got along very well with her husband. It was not surprising that she came to his home as soon as she returned to her unit.
Xiao Dan casually replied, then went back inside and moved the fan to the spot next to the dining table.
Eating noodles with soup is unbearably hot without a fan.
Then I went outside and washed my face.
Zhou Shi washed her face and hands, and sat obediently in the chair to wait for her meal.
Seeing that they were still dawdling, he reminded them, "Egg, Shishi is hungry."
Her eyes were fixed on the dumplings, and her little expression was very anxious.
She is a little zombie and needs to eat on time to grow up.
That's what humans say.
Since the little darling had spoken, Xiao Dan didn't care which egg she was calling and quickened his pace.
Zhang Tong brought out the prepared cucumber and tomato salad, as well as a bowl of braised pork.
First, she filled a large bowl with dry dumplings and placed it in front of the anxious child, with soup in it, because she was afraid the child would get burned.
After you finish eating the dumplings, the soup will have cooled down enough, so you can just fill it up and drink it later.
"Shishi, this is very hot. You have to blow on it to cool it down before you put it in your mouth, otherwise it will burn your mouth and make you uncomfortable, okay?"
"I know, Chou Dan fed Shi Shi noodles and blew on them to cool them down."
Seeing her take a spoon, blow on a dumpling several times, and then put it in her mouth, Zhang Tong stopped paying attention to her and served everyone else a bowl with soup.
"Xiaolan, eat more, you look like you've lost weight."
Liu Xiaolan smiled and thanked her, "Okay, thank you, Auntie."
She appeared gentle and composed on the surface, but was inwardly uneasy.
Why does that idiot get such good care from his aunt? Even the commander-in-chief pushed braised pork in front of her with a loving expression.
He's just an idiot, why does he deserve such good treatment?
She asked casually, "Hey, Auntie, I didn't see you making braised pork earlier?"
"I didn't have time to go to the cafeteria, so I asked your neighbor, Aunt Yao, to help me get some. She brought them over when you went into the room to give Shishi the apples."
"This girl, she can't live without meat. Even though there are eggs in the dumplings, she can tell the difference between meat and eggs very clearly."
"This is what Xie Lin instructed. If she wants to eat it, just give it to her. The cafeteria has been preparing it these days."
"After the intensive training is over, if we want to eat meat, we'll have to buy raw meat and cook it ourselves."
Chief of Staff Ding Youliang is a deputy division-level officer. He and Xiao Dan are brothers who have gone through thick and thin together. They live next door to Xiao's family. Yao Lixiang is his wife.
When Liu Xiaolan came to the Xiao family, Yao Lixiang would also come over for a chat; they all knew each other.
"Mmm, the little horns are so delicious! Egg, where are the horns of the rotten egg?"
The foodie squinted his eyes, savored the memory for a moment, and then opened his mouth to ask.
The couple laughed at the same time, unaware that under the table, someone's hand was clenched into a fist, and their nails were digging into their palms.
Damn it, she doesn't even have meat to eat, so why is this idiot so happy?
Xie Lin, why do you spoil her so much?
Could it be that you've actually fallen for an idiot?
He's truly composed; he was furious inside, but his face remained relaxed.
"Oh, Shishi's got her eye on Chou Dan, huh?" Xiao Dan rarely joked with someone.
He doesn't usually smile much, but in the last few days, he's smiled more often than he did in the previous six months.
“Stinky Egg isn’t home. He’s Corpse’s stinky egg. His horns are eaten by Corpse.”
The objectives are clear, and the logic is well-organized.
Zhang Tong burst out laughing.
So it turns out they weren't thinking about people, but about food.
"Okay, Auntie will get you another bowl later, and give you the portion from the rotten egg."
"Also, this isn't a jiaojiao (角角), it's a dumpling, don't get it wrong."
"If you want to eat them again next time, just tell your auntie you want dumplings, okay?"
"Remember, it's dumplings, not jiaojiao (corner-shaped dumplings)."
The little girl nodded seriously.
Dumplings are delicious; I can use a little bit of my brain to remember them.
Zhang Tong's arched eyebrows never fell; when the little girl is being good, she is truly well-behaved.
When she's happy, her eyes crinkle into crescents, revealing two sweet little dimples, which is very endearing.
"Shishi loves eating jiaojiao (a type of dumpling), how about we have Choudan (another type of dumpling) catch some jiaojiao one of these days, and Auntie will make you jiaojiao dumplings?"
"Are the dumplings with the 'corner' filling tastier than this?"
Zhou Shi pointed to the egg and chive dumplings in the bowl and asked with a curious look.
She didn't know what filling was, she only knew that there were corners and dumplings, both of which were delicious, and that combining them should make them even tastier.
Seeing her bewildered expression, Zhang Tong knew that she had no idea what filling was.
"Corner filling is made by wrapping corners inside dumpling wrappers, just like today's scrambled eggs wrapped inside dumpling wrappers are called egg filling."
"The filling for the jiaojiao is very fresh. You can also mix it with today's chives. It's delicious. I'll make it for you next time."
"good."
Upon learning that she would soon be able to eat dumplings with a unique filling, and that there was another bowl of dumplings waiting for her, the little girl ate with great enthusiasm.
A bite of meat, a bite of dumpling, a bite of crisp cucumber, and then a slice of sweet and sour tomato—it's so delightful.
Smelling the aroma of meat in the air, Xiao Dan swallowed hard and tentatively asked:
