As soon as Xi Jingchen arrived at the camp, he told Zhang Dewang and the others about the dinner party.
Since Political Commissar Zhang is out for a meeting today and cannot make it back, I can only decline his kindness.
Li Baolai originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard that his wife would also go, he had to agree.
After finishing their work, the three of them went to Xi Jingchen's house.
Meng Xue saw that all three of them had returned.
Xi Jingchen quickly asked them to sit down.
Then she went to the kitchen and told her sisters-in-law that they could make dumplings.
Sister Xiuzhi saw that all the men from other families had come, but her own man was missing.
I thought to myself, didn’t she notify her husband, Mr. Zhang?
Xi Jingchen saw Sister Xiuzhi standing at the kitchen door, looking towards them for a while, then looking towards the door.
He guessed that she was waiting for Political Commissar Zhang, so he stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law? Political Commissar Zhang asked me to tell you that he is going to the city for a meeting today and won't be back in the evening!"
Sister Xiuzhi felt relieved when she heard this.
“Oh, I see.
How did I say he wasn't with you?
So you went to a meeting?
have to!
It seems that he has no chance of having these dumplings!"
When Meng Xue heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled.
"Sister Xiuzhi, why are we not destined to be together?
We packed so much, we probably won’t be able to finish it.
Go back and take the remaining dumplings.
I'll pack it up for you!
Heat it up for him tomorrow!"
Sister Xiuzhi's eyes lit up, but she felt embarrassed.
“Isn’t this bad?”
Meng Xue chuckled.
“What’s wrong with that?
Are you worried that I can't make the decision?"
Meng Xue glanced at Xi Jingchen and continued to ask, "Brother Jingchen? Do you think I can make the decision?"
Xi Jingchen said helplessly, "Sister-in-law, Xue'er has the final say in our family.
If there are any left, take some back to Political Commissar Zhang.
If you are polite, Xueer will be unhappy. "
Yang Hongyan curled her lips and smiled, "Xiuzhi, since Xiaoxue and Jingchen have said so, don't refuse!"
Sister Xiuzhi nodded.
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you."
Sister Baolai watched the dumplings rolling in the pot.
Feeling that it was almost done, he shouted to Meng Xue and the others, "Sisters-in-law, the dumplings are cooked, come and serve them!"
As she spoke, she began to scoop dumplings onto the plate.
Meng Xue signaled Xi Jingchen not to block the door and to help serve the dumplings.
They walked into the kitchen and carried out the dumplings one by one.
Meng Xue brought out the white radish stewed with fat in a large basin.
Zhang Dewang saw the dumplings, smelled the aroma of meat, and swallowed.
"Hey, dumplings? What's the filling?"
Yang Hongyan came over with dumplings and smiled.
“Your favorite filling!”
Zhang Dewang's eyes lit up. "Cabbage and pork?"
Yang Hongyan nodded in agreement, "Yes, we grew these cabbages ourselves!"
After hearing this, Zhang Dewang continued, "Then I have to eat two more bowls!"
Meng Xue curled her lips and smiled, "Thanks to the help of the sisters-in-law, there will be enough dumplings today!
I'll ask Sister Xiuzhi to bring Political Commissar Zhang's copy back to him later."
Sister Xiuzhi was very happy to hear this.
"This is enough for one bowl of dumplings per person. Put the rest in the bowl!"
Meng Xue nodded, "Sisters-in-law, please come to the table and eat the dumplings, and leave the rest to me!
I will go and change Sister Baolai right now!"
When Meng Xue came to the kitchen, Sister Baolai had already taken out the remaining dumplings.
"Sister-in-law Baolai, go out and eat dumplings! You are the only one missing!"
Sister Baolai nodded slightly, "Let's serve them two bowls of dumpling soup."
