Qin Wan sighed softly, his lips slightly opened as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't open his mouth.
A complex look flashed across her beautiful eyes, imperceptibly, as if hiding many unspeakable thoughts and emotions.
As people often say, every moment in life is an opportunity to make a decision.
Everyone, regardless of their status, must face these choices bravely and bear the corresponding responsibilities and consequences.
At this time, Sister Luo beside her broke the silence with a smile:
"Well, everyone has their own aspirations after all! How can we possibly guess what Liu Yingmei was thinking at the time? As long as we can live a prosperous and smooth life, that's pretty good!"
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. The originally solemn atmosphere suddenly became relaxed, and everyone's faces showed relieved smiles.
After listening to the gossip about Liu Yingmei, Qin Wan was thoughtful.
Then she turned and walked towards the service center, where she carefully selected some daily necessities, paid, and slowly set off on her way home with her shopping bag.
Along the way, she kept thinking back to the story she had just heard, thinking about the various choices in her life and the impact they brought.
After Qin Wan returned home, he saw that Aunt Yu had not come back yet, so he took out a bunch of leeks from the things he had just bought and prepared to make dumplings stuffed with leeks and eggs.
Just do it.
Qin Wan first kneaded the flour into dough and let it rest.
Then clean the chives and chop them finely on a chopping board. The green chive pieces flutter under the knife like a spring rain.
Put the chopped chives into a large bowl, then Qin Wan took out a few eggs, gently cracked the eggshells, poured the egg liquid into another bowl, and stirred quickly with chopsticks until the egg liquid became even and smooth.
Next, she turned on the coal stove, heated the wok, and poured in a suitable amount of oil. Once the oil was hot, she slowly poured in the egg liquid, which instantly expanded in the wok, making a sizzling sound. Qin Wan gently flipped the eggs with a spatula, scrambling them into small, enticing pieces until golden brown.
Mix the chopped scrambled eggs and chopped chives together, add appropriate amounts of salt, pepper, and sesame oil, and stir well with chopsticks. The aroma of the dumpling filling is so fragrant that it makes you salivate.
Qin Wan took out the dough that had been prepared in advance and started to make dumplings.
She spread the dumpling wrapper on the palm of her hand, scooped an appropriate amount of filling with a spoon, and gently pinched the edges of the dumpling wrapper. Small and exquisite dumplings were born in her hands.
The wrapped dumplings are neatly arranged on a plate, waiting to be cooked.
Qin Wan boiled the water in the pot and gently put the dumplings into the water. The dumplings rolled in the water and gradually became plump and transparent.
Soon, the dumplings were cooked. Qin Wan took them out and put them in a bowl, steaming hot and fragrant.
She couldn't wait to pick up a dumpling and take a bite. The fragrance of the chives and the deliciousness of the eggs blended perfectly, and the taste was tender and juicy, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste.
At this moment, there was a slight "creak" sound, and the slightly old wooden door was slowly pushed open, and Aunt Yu's familiar and kind figure appeared at the door.
She immediately saw Qin Wan sitting at the table eating dumplings with relish, and a relieved smile immediately bloomed on her weather-beaten face.
"Oh, Xiao Wan, you and these kids are really in tune with each other! Just now, when we were on the road, these little brats kept telling me they wanted to eat dumplings, but when they got home, hey, they found you had already made them!"
As Aunt Yu spoke, she walked briskly to the well, squeezed water, washed her hands, and then went into the kitchen to help.
"That's right, Auntie. Everyone says there's telepathy between mother and child. It seems like it's absolutely true!"
Qin Wan responded with a smile, and at the same time, he nimbly picked up an empty bowl, filled it with a bowl of steaming dumplings for Aunt Yu, and handed it to her enthusiastically.
"Auntie, please try it and see if the dumplings taste good to you."
After saying that, she turned around and took out all the remaining dumplings in the pot and placed them on the table one by one.
Aunt Yu took the bowl with great joy, picked up a dumpling with chopsticks, and put it to each child's mouth. Looking at the children wolfing down the dumpling with relish, she smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.
Then she picked up a dumpling for herself, put it gently into her mouth, took a small bite, and chewed it carefully.
"Hmm...it smells so good! This chive and egg filling is seasoned just right, with just the right amount of saltiness, and a fresh, tender and smooth texture. Xiao Wan, your cooking skills are really getting better and better!"
Aunt Yu kept nodding and praising, her face full of satisfaction.
Seeing this, the four little guys beside her also imitated Aunt Yu's tone of voice:
"Smells so good! Mom's dumplings are the best!"
For a moment, the room was filled with laughter and joy.
The two of them carefully brought the freshly cooked and full bowl of dumplings to the dining table, and then began to urge the children who were playing and fighting to wash their hands and prepare to eat.
For a moment, the whole house was filled with the laughter of children and the shouts of adults. It was so lively!
Just when everyone was in a hurry, the door was suddenly pushed open. It turned out that Lu Yu came home from get off work.
Seeing the table full of delicious dumplings and the lively atmosphere in the room, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile warmly.
At this moment, the whole family finally gathered together. Everyone sat around the dining table and happily savored the steaming and fragrant dumplings.
Everyone ate with gusto, even letting out satisfied exclamations from time to time. They all squinted their eyes in happiness, as if they were already in paradise on earth.
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone left the table contentedly, burping, and returned to their rooms for a nap.
Qin Wan gently snuggled in Lu Yu's broad and strong arms. She told Lu Yu in concise and clear words what she had overheard today about what happened between Liu Yingmei and Captain Hua.
After she finished, she raised her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Yu, and asked softly, "Dear, are these things true?"
Lu Yu nodded slightly to show his approval, and then slowly said:
"This old man, Hua, is a pretty good person. However, he is always hesitant and not decisive enough when doing things.
You know, sometimes you have to make a decision. If you keep hesitating and procrastinating, you will definitely get yourself into trouble in the end.
Just like this time, he can only be said to have paid for a painful lesson."
Qin Wan nodded thoughtfully, and after a moment of silence, he asked again:
"If you were to deal with this situation, what would you do?"
