"But what happened is that when I went there I just ate and drank and wasted time.
"It's already noon the next day, and there's no sign of him. Wait until he comes back and see how I punish him!"
Before Elder Cen finished speaking, he heard a series of hurried but brisk footsteps outside the door, followed by a small figure rushing in from outside, calling out sweetly: "Grandpa, I'm here!"
"Oh my baby!" Old Cen quickly stood up, caught Qingtian who ran in, and picked her up.
Mrs. Ye hurried over but still couldn't catch up. She could only take a breath and said, "Grandfather, she's already so old, and you're still holding her. You better take care of your waist."
"It's okay, I can carry him!" Elder Cen waved his hands nonchalantly, looking at Qingtian with a grin that showed his teeth. "As soon as I saw my precious Qingtian, all the discomfort in my body immediately disappeared."
As Mr. Cen was speaking, he saw Meng Yu sneaking around the door, not daring to come in, and his face immediately frowned.
Just as he was about to lose his temper, Qingtian immediately stretched out her little hand, held his face, and told him to only look at herself and not at Meng Yu.
"Great-grandfather, my mother has cut up some meat. We're going to make dumplings for you this morning, okay?"
"Okay, okay!" When Elder Cen heard Qingtian say that, he immediately agreed. Then he asked curiously, "Why did you think of making dumplings?"
"I dug some dandelions, oh, that's dandelions," said Sister Ye. "When we were outside the Great Wall, we loved making dumplings with them in the spring.
"I went up the mountain to dig some the other day, and when I got home I made dumplings like I always do.
“When I was outside the Great Wall, I used less meat and it was still delicious!
"Life is getting easier nowadays and people are more willing to use meat. Everyone said it was delicious when we made a meal together, so I brought some over here for you to try."
"I've eaten dandelions before, but I never thought they could be used as dumpling fillings."
After all, Mr. Cen had seen the world and was not as surprised as the others when they heard this way of eating for the first time.
He was just a little curious about how delicious it would be.
Meng Yu outside the door couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Grandpa, these dumplings are really delicious. I have never eaten such delicious dumplings before."
"Tsk, what good food have you ever eaten?" Mr. Cen was still angry with him and retorted with just one sentence.
Meng Yu immediately stopped talking.
Seeing this, Qingtian said, "Grandpa, you don't know, Uncle Meng secretly put several dumplings in his arms yesterday, saying that he would bring them back for you to try.
"I ended up drinking too much and fell asleep on my kang for the whole afternoon. When I woke up, the dumplings in my arms were all squashed."
When she said this, it was unclear whether she was speaking up for Meng Yu or wanted to make fun of him along with Mr. Cen.
However, it still had a certain effect after it was said. At least it showed that after Meng Yu ate delicious food, even if he drank too much, he was still thinking about Mr. Cen.
So after hearing Qingtian say this, Mr. Cen’s anger subsided a lot.
"It's already so late! If you want to make dumplings, then hurry up!" Elder Cen urged. "Nothing has been prepared yet. Why are you all so anxious?"
Mrs. Ye quickly said, "Grandfather, don't worry. When I went to the kitchen to put things in, someone had already started kneading the dough and chopping the stuffing. We'll go over there later and mix the stuffing and start wrapping it up."
"You are still more cautious in doing things." Old Cen said, glancing at Meng Yu again.
Meng Yu quickly said, "I will definitely learn from Madam You in the future."
A few people came to the kitchen, and the people in the kitchen had indeed prepared everything.
The kneaded dough is placed in a bowl and covered with a clean cloth.
The minced meat and dandelions were all chopped and placed in different bowls.
On the table in the middle of the kitchen, the cooking surface, rolling pin, covering curtain, dry noodles...all the things that could be used are in place.
"Grandpa, why don't you mix the stuffing?" asked Mrs. Ye.
Elder Cen shook his head and said, "No, you should come this time. I'll try it first."
"Okay!" Mrs. Ye followed the recipe at home and quickly mixed the dumpling filling.
Meng Yu volunteered to roll out the dough, and Mrs. Ye and Mr. Cen started wrapping them together.
"Mom, Qingtian also wants to help." Qingtian said, holding on to the edge of the table.
When she is at home, she has her brothers to play with, and if all else fails, there is Xiaoye.
But here, the other three people were busy, and she was the only one with nothing to do, so she came forward and wanted to help do something.
"Your hands are too small to make dumplings," said Mrs. Ye, then thought for a moment and said, "How about this: you put the dumplings that mother and great-grandfather have made on the curtain and arrange them neatly?"
"Okay!" Qingtian consciously accepted a very important task, washed his hands obediently, and then came over to help.
Mrs. Ye and Mr. Cen are both experienced. As long as there is enough dumpling skin, their speed in making dumplings is simply dazzling.
Qingtian was busy transferring the dumplings from the chopping board to the lid curtain and arranging them neatly.
So the four of them each did their job and soon made several dumplings.
"If you don't eat on sunny days, these should be enough!"
Because Qingtian arranged the dumplings so neatly, the dumplings on each lid were arranged in rows and columns, and the number could be estimated at a glance.
Elder Cen was not happy to hear this. He slapped the panel and asked, "What do you mean? Why don't you let Qingtian eat it?"
"Oh, old man, how dare I stop Miss Sunny from eating!
“Even if you don’t tell me, Madam You will tear me apart!
"It was Miss Sunny who said she didn't want to eat. She even said she wouldn't have come if she had eaten dumplings!"
