Lin Xiangyi didn't know about the Lu family's plan for the time being. After finding seven people to help, she knew that no one had eaten lunch yet, so she carried a few pounds of meat from the workshop and called Xie's mother and Aunt Xie to go back together.
After arriving home, she asked Aunt Zhao to help look after the children while she, Xie's mother, and Aunt Xie made dumplings.
After a while, Su Xiaomei also came over.
She had been out of confinement half a month ago, and was very upset when she learned that Xie Guoqiang had gotten into trouble, so she brought her child to find Lin Xiangyi.
However, there was nothing she could do to help with the children, so she looked after the three children together with Aunt Zhao.
Over at the workshop, everyone worked hard and finally resolved today's emergency on time.
Everyone was exhausted and just wanted to finish the work quickly and go home to eat and rest after get off work.
Lin Xiangyi, Xie's mother, and Aunt Xie came over with the dumplings they had wrapped: "Are you all done? Don't rush back, I made some dumplings, and everyone can stay and eat later!"
"What? There are dumplings to eat?" The tired employees' eyes lit up.
"Yes, an emergency happened today and everyone was too busy to go home for lunch, so we went back to make some dumplings, but the pot over there is not that big, so we could only come over to the big pot in the workshop to cook them," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile.
"I'll cook it, I'll cook it," Gao Shengnan was very perceptive and immediately took people to boil water to cook the dumplings.
Since starting the braised food business, Lin Xiangyi's family has had very good food, with meat in almost every meal. Dumplings are not rare for them, and they can make them whenever they want.
But for the workers in the workshop, even if they get paid, they still have a big family to support. Of course, they can't eat meat every day, so eating dumplings is still a rare thing for them.
Especially when they saw that the dumplings Lin Xiangyi had made were big and beautiful, with thin skin and thick meat. They hadn't been cooked yet, but they seemed to be able to smell the fragrance, and their already hungry stomachs became even hungrier.
But some polite words still need to be said: "Xiangyi, you are too polite. Today is an emergency. We have taken your wages, so it is our duty to help you do the work well!"
"Yeah, why are you so polite? We can go back and eat directly after we're done."
"And we weren't really hungry. We did secretly eat some braised food to upset our stomachs, haha."
Having said that, some people who were unable to go home for lunch were originally a little unhappy, but after seeing this, all their unhappiness disappeared.
Of course Lin Xiangyi knew this too and joked with them.
The dumplings were ready very quickly, and everyone scooped some to eat, followed by a round of praise for Lin Xiangyi's cooking skills.
Lin Xiangyi and the other two made nearly five hundred dumplings and ate them all. After they finished eating, everyone dispersed with satisfaction.
Gao Shengnan and Xie's father are going to stay to do the final finishing touches, while Lin Xiangyi, Xie's mother and others are going back first.
Kuai Le Le was very well behaved today. He didn't make much noise and slept soundly.
Lin Xiangyi looked at them and felt a little sleepy, so she said, "Mom, I'm a little tired too, I plan to go back and sleep for a while.
You and your aunt must be tired, right? Then go back and rest for a while. There is no rush for dinner. There are still some dumpling fillings in the kitchen that I haven't made yet. After you have rested, you can roll out the fillings and make dinner for today."
"Okay, you go back to sleep. I know everything. We just ate and probably won't eat much at night. It's mainly Axiao. We can do it after he comes back," said Xie's mother.
Lin Xiangyi didn't care anymore and went back to take the two kids to sleep.
When Xie Qingxiao came back, he found that the house was unusually quiet today. His father was lying on a recliner in the main room, holding a fan in his hand, but his head was tilted and he didn't know when he fell asleep.
The light was on in Gao Shengnan's room, and no one knew what she was busy with inside.
His mother and aunt were busy in the kitchen. The light in the west room was dim. He didn't know whether his wife was there.
Xie Qingxiao entered the kitchen and called out to his mother and aunt, wanting to ask where his wife was.
"Your wife is sleeping in the room," said Xie's mother. She and Aunt Zhao rested for a while but did not sleep. They were used to doing farm work, so this little tiredness today was nothing to them.
"Are you still sleeping so late?" Xie Qingxiao frowned. How could he still sleep at night if he was still sleeping so late?
"Your wife is exhausted today," Xie's mother briefly talked about today's emergency, and said with emotion: "Fortunately, Xiangyi is a man of courage. Not only did she find someone to help and perfectly solve the problem, she also made dumplings to appease the employees. Now no employee in the workshop is dissatisfied!"
"But no matter how tired she is, she has already slept for an hour. You should wake her up when you come back, otherwise she won't be able to sleep at night," Xie's mother said again.
Xie Qingxiao nodded, turned around and went back to the house.
Coincidentally, Lin Xiangyi woke up as soon as Xie Qingxiao entered the room. Seeing him about to turn on the light, she quickly said, "Don't turn on the light! Kuai Kai Le Le is still sleeping."
Xie Qingxiao lit the kerosene lamp. It was not so bright and dazzling, but he could see the scene in the room clearly.
Lin Xiangyi was wearing pajamas, hugging a pillow and lying at the end of the bed, looking at him. Her long hair was scattered casually, and she looked lazy. When she saw him looking over, she stretched out her hand.
Xie Qingxiao walked over and held her hand, then sat down at the end of the bed, put her head on his thigh, and asked, "I heard there was an emergency today?"
"Well, it's all settled," Lin Xiangyi's voice was soft, as if she was acting coquettishly, after she had just woken up.
Xie Qingxiao stroked her long hair. Her hair was soft and smooth, and it easily slipped through his rough fingertips. He couldn't help but bend down and kiss her smooth forehead. "I'll talk to Guoqiang and Longfei later. Let's avoid this kind of situation from happening again."
