"We're here, come in quickly." Cheng Jiawen handed the roast chicken in his hand to Xu Qianjiao and looked at her dotingly. "Go to bed early tonight. We'll leave at six o'clock tomorrow. Oh, and remember to ask your uncle for a certificate."
Xu Qianjiao pulled him, "Let's go back after dinner. My mother plans to make dumplings for lunch. Let's eat together."
Cheng Jiawen touched her head and teased with a smile: "Why, you can't bear to leave me?"
Xu Qianjiao rolled her eyes at him and said stubbornly, "I'm just reciprocating. You gave me a roast chicken, and I'll treat you to dumplings. It's just right."
"Hahaha, okay, since you've invited me so graciously, I won't be polite."
Afterwards, Cheng Jiawen followed Xu Qianjiao into the house. In the yard, Xu's mother was kneading dough. She looked up and saw Cheng Jiawen coming. She said with a loving face, "Jiawen is here. It just so happens that we are having sauerkraut dumplings for lunch today. Let me tell you, my aunt's sauerkraut dumplings are amazing. Eat a few more later."
"Then I am in for a treat. I am so lucky today that I can taste my aunt's special dish." Cheng Jiawen washed his hands and spontaneously walked to Xu's mother, helping her and flattering her.
Mother Xu was so coaxed that she smiled happily. When she saw Cheng Jiawen coming to help on his own, she was even more satisfied with him.
Xu Qianjiao walked up to Xu's mother with a roast chicken and said with a smile, "We are all in for a treat today. Look, Cheng Jiawen brought this roast chicken."
"Why are you so polite, kid? Every time you bring something, keep some good things for yourself and don't give them all to this girl." Mother Xu pretended to be angry and looked at Cheng Jiawen, but she was very happy in her heart.
This boy seems to really care about Jiaojiao. He sends meat every two days. He must be worried that Jiaojiao won't eat well, right?
Cheng Jiawen pursed his lips and smiled, "Aunt, you are my family. If there are good things, of course I have to share them with my family."
"Hahaha, yes, yes, that's right. We are all family now." When Xu's mother heard what Cheng Jiawen said, she felt even more satisfied with him.
Now she looks at Cheng Jiawen like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, the more she looks, the more satisfied she is.
While kneading the dough, she looked at Cheng Jiawen. He was tall and strong, could hunt, was hardworking, and was well-educated. He was truly a good son-in-law that was hard to find even with a lantern.
I have to be nicer to him. Only then will he be nicer to my daughter.
"Wife, daughter, I'm back~" Father Xu walked in with a smile on his face and greeted the people in the yard loudly.
"Dad, you're back. How's the brick thing going?" As soon as Xu Qianjiao saw her father coming back, she immediately went up to him and asked about the progress of the brick project.
She really wanted to build the wall to completely separate it from the main room. Otherwise, they would always share a kitchen and have to eat in the room, which was too inconvenient.
The most important thing is that everyone in the main house knows what they eat. The few times they secretly ate roast chicken and roast rabbit in the past, they brought the charcoal stove into the room and heated them up inside.
Father Xu smiled mysteriously and took out a note from his pocket. "Look, the approval document has been obtained. You can go get the bricks tomorrow."
"That's great." Xu Qianjiao jumped up with joy, and her dancing made Xu's father and others laugh.
Xu's mother's eyes curved, and she smiled. "Well, today is a good day. Let's have a good meal and celebrate."
"Great~" Xu Qianjiao cheered.
Several people worked together to make dumplings. After Xu's mother kneaded the dough, she began to grind the dough. Then Xu Qianjiao, Xu's father and Cheng Jiawen were responsible for making the dumplings.
Several people divided the work and worked together, and the dumplings were quickly wrapped. Then they went into the room, holding a small charcoal stove and began to slowly cook the dumplings.
The water boiled, and Xu's mother gently slipped the wrapped dumplings along the edge of the pot and said loudly: "Dumplings are in the pot."
"Wow~" Xu Qianjiao stared at the dumplings in the pot intently. These dumplings were like a group of little ducks, swimming happily in the water. They were playing in the water, it was so lively.
Xu's mother took a spoon and gently stirred the dumplings to prevent them from sticking together.
As the temperature rises, the dumplings begin to become active, jumping and rolling in the water, as if they are dancing happily.
Only when the dumplings were floating in the air did Xu's mother divide them evenly among the bowls of several people and then continue to cook the next pot.
While the dumplings were cooking, Xu's mother divided the roast chicken that Cheng Jiawen brought into several portions, then removed the chicken breast bones, intending to use them to make soup tonight and then eat the meat now.
She picked up a chicken leg and gave it to Cheng Jiawen, "Come on, Jiawen, eat more."
"Thank you, auntie." Cheng Jiawen took the chicken leg with the bowl in both hands and started eating with a smile.
Seeing this, Xu Qianjiao held the bowl and looked at Xu's mother expectantly, "Mom, where is mine?"
Xu's mother reached out and knocked her on the head, "When have I ever been short of you?"
After saying that, he put the other chicken leg into Xu Qianjiao's bowl, and then put the two chicken wings into his own bowl and Xu's father's bowl respectively.
Yes, that’s the rule of the Xu family. Everyone has a share. Mr. and Mrs. Xu are not the kind of people who would leave all the good things for their children and would not eat any themselves. They all believe in sharing happiness together.
They also eat what the children eat, and everyone will be happy if they eat together.
As they were eating, Xu Qianjiao suddenly raised her head and said, "Dad, Mom, Cheng Jiawen and I are going to the provincial capital to play tomorrow."
"Going to the provincial capital?" Xu's father and mother looked at Xu Qianjiao in shock.
Xu Qianjiao nodded in the shocked eyes of the two people, "Yes, let's go to the provincial capital to play."
