Qiu Nian looked at Chen Li in the photo excitedly, and touched Chen Li's delicate and beautiful little face with trembling fingers.
She looks so much like her younger sister when she was young.
They seem to have been carved from the same mold.
But the demeanor is somewhat different.
Chen Li's demeanor is bright, confident, enthusiastic and flamboyant, with stars twinkling in his eyes, but his sister does not have such bright confidence. Her smile is gentle and kind, like a soft and gentle gardenia that blooms gently, needing protection and compassion.
My sister's life is really miserable.
He blamed himself for being helpless and not protecting his sister well...
Two lines of tears rolled down Qiu Nian's eyes. He was afraid that his tears would splash onto the photo, so he wiped away his tears quickly.
"Captain Lu, we all have crystals implanted in our bodies." One of the medical researchers frowned and said.
"Once this arrives in China, I believe the experts will find a way to take the crystals out for everyone. There is no need to worry." Lu Jingchuan said in a deep voice.
His deep voice was full of convincing power, and everyone's hearts gradually calmed down.
At this moment, everyone had only one thought in mind, and that was to return home as soon as possible!
…
Today is the day of the New Year.
It has been two months since Lu Jingchuan left.
In the late stage of pregnancy, Shen Lixiao had a high bulge in her abdomen.
Even though Chen Li wanted to control her weight, the fetus was still too small, and her belly looked like the skin was thin but the filling was big.
Today she made dumplings with Duran.
Duran chopped up the pork filling, put the vermicelli and wood ear tofu cubes together, and mixed them in a large bowl. She had already kneaded the dough, rolled it, and pressed it into pieces with a rolling pin to make round dumpling skins.
"It's great today. I know we can eat hot dumplings outside Jingchuan." Duran said, having already prepared the stuffing.
Chen Li picked up a piece of dumpling wrapper, wearing a pink apron, sitting at the dining table and wrapping dumplings, "Yes, I know when he will come back."
"Don't worry, my son is a lucky man, he will definitely come back." Du Lan said while making dumplings, comforting Chen Li.
"Yeah." Shen Li nodded.
"Mom, I want to make dumplings." Duoduo's soft little face came over, and she stretched out her little hands to make dumplings.
"Come, let me teach you." Chen Li chuckled, "Put the dumpling wrapper in the palm of your hand, and then pinch it like this~"
Chen Li demonstrated the movements.
But Duoduo's little hands were clumsy, and after kneading for a long time, she only managed to make a round ball.
Duoduo looked at the small dumplings made by her mother and grandmother and the round dumpling in her hand and felt a little frustrated.
"Mom, I'm clumsy." Duoduo whispered.
"It's okay. The buns you made are very pretty and cute." Chen Li smiled. She took out two black sesame seeds and dotted them on the round buns. The white buns with two black sesame seeds looked like they had two eyes. "Look, does this make them cute?"
"Really!" Duoduo's originally happy mood was swept away. She moved a small stool and sat around the table. The family sat together happily making dumplings.
Lu Minghui was responsible for putting the dumplings that everyone had made into the pot and cooking them. He was also responsible for keeping an eye on the pot and making sure the dumplings were cooked.
Chen Li took out a coin that had been scalded in boiling water and wrapped it in a dumpling in front of her. "Look, this dumpling is the most blessed dumpling. Whoever eats this dumpling will be the most blessed person. In the new year, everything will go smoothly and be happy."
Duoduo quietly took note of the dumpling. She wanted to put a black sesame seed on it as a small mark, but Chen Li stopped her with her hand, "No, you are cheating."
Duoduo blushed and felt a little better.
An hour later, all the stuffing was wrapped.
And Lu Minghui cooked the dumplings and put them on the plates.
Plates of white, tender, steaming dumplings were served on the table.
The whole family gathered together and had a lively meal.
"I wish my dad could eat such delicious dumplings." Duoduo said.
"Yes." Chen Li smiled and comforted, "Your father will definitely come back safely before the New Year."
"Yeah!" Duoduo nodded. She ate the dumpling in her mouth and said vaguely, "I hope Dad will come back soon so that our family can have dinner together!"
Duoduo originally memorized the appearance of the dumplings, but when they were cooked in the pot, all the dumplings looked the same.
Duoduo couldn't tell which dumpling was the one she ate.
In order to eat the blessed dumplings, Duoduo ate a lot of dumplings in one go.
I ate until my stomach was full, but I didn't eat that one.
At this moment, a clicking sound came from Lu Minghui's mouth.
He opened his mouth, slowly took out a coin from his mouth, and looked at the coin curiously.
"The luckiest dumpling was eaten by Minghui." Chen Li chuckled, "It seems that Minghui in our family is the luckiest person."
Duoduo felt a little regretful because she didn't get to eat this dumpling, but since her brother ate it, she should have eaten it herself!
"Minghui, I'm so happy." Chen Li raised the cup filled with drink and clinked glasses with Lu Minghui.
"Yeah. Very happy." Lu Minghui clinked glasses with Chen Li, with a smile on his lips.
The family is having a great time.
…
That day, when Chen Li was strolling outside, she passed by a house and heard the sharp cry of a child coming from inside. The cry was miserable, like fear, as if the child was exhausted, and the cry was intermittent.
What's going on?
Chen Li walked closer and through a small crack in the door, saw the two children locked inside.
The older one was about four years old, wearing only a dirty vest and boxer shorts, without even shoes, with unkempt hair and dirty looks, and tear marks all over his face.
The younger children were only wearing a pair of small pants that looked like diapers sewn together with urine-soaked pants. The "diapers" were heavy and filled a big bag. They were pitch black and full of feces and urine.
The child looked to be about ten months old, crawling on the ground and crying loudly.
The little one is crying, the big one is crying, what kind of tragedy is this?
Chen Lixiao was about to become a mother, so she felt a little compassion in her heart and walked over, "Little boy, don't cry first, where are your parents?"
"Everyone is going to work..." The older girl had messy hair stuck to her face, her face was dark, and her snot and tears were mixed together. As she spoke, her snot flowed into her mouth. She choked and cried.
Are you all going to work?
Why is there no one at home to take care of these two children?
Lock them both in the house like this?
