Bai Zhiyuan: “…”
I confirmed through eye contact that he is not my biological child.
On the other side, Lin Yin held her breath, holding a brush in her hand, and was writing slowly.
A slender, clean hand held her and guided her to write.
Lin Yin slowly wrote the last horizontal line of a simple character "Fu" and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Yicheng put the brush aside for her. Lin Yin quickly picked up the Chinese character "Fu" that she had written herself, still a little unconvinced: "Did I really write this?"
This was Lin Yin's first time to learn calligraphy, and she was only taught by Huo Yichen step by step. She didn't expect that she could write so well.
Seeing her smile, Huo Yicheng reached out to help her turn the "Fu" character upside down: "Put this on the door of my room."
Lin Yin looked at the upside-down "Fu" and smiled: "Okay, I wish you a new year with a new look and good fortune."
"Yeah." Huo Yicheng nodded: "No need for the New Year, my blessing has already arrived."
He looked at Lin Yin lovingly, and Lin Yin immediately understood what he meant.
After pasting up couplets, window decorations and blessing characters, they will start making dumplings for the New Year.
Bai Zhiyuan's parents are both successful people, so they have always worked in the city.
They are so busy that they don't even have time to spend with their family during the Chinese New Year.
Mr. Bai stayed in the small town because he missed his deceased wife, so he did not go back to the city with his children to live a good life.
Bai Zhiyuan, the grandson, inherited his grandfather's rare talent. After graduation, he returned to the countryside and has been following his grandfather to treat patients and save lives over the years.
In the past, the grandfather and grandson took care of each other during the New Year. This year, with Huo Yichen and Lin Yin, the atmosphere became lively.
Don’t think that Mr. Bai is not good enough just because of his age. In fact, Mr. Bai is very good at making dumplings, even better than Lin Yin’s.
Uncle Wang also came to help. Although he had taken care of Huo Yichen for so many years, he also lived in a large family and was not very good at making dumplings.
"My wife used to love making dumplings. She would always make them in advance for Chinese New Year. Sometimes she would worry that she was too slow and wouldn't make enough, so she would pull me over to help her make them."
Dumplings are usually only eaten during the Chinese New Year. The late Mrs. Bai loved the Chinese New Year because it was lively, with family reunions and good food and drinks.
It was at that time that Mr. Bai learned the skill of making dumplings.
Look, he has already wrapped more than ten, while the other four people haven’t even finished wrapping five.
Since I have never done it before, my techniques are inevitably unfamiliar, so it is understandable that the wrapping is ugly.
Just look at the ones Uncle Wang made. Each one is big and bulky, just like him.
Making dumplings may look simple, but there are actually a lot of things to pay attention to. The dumpling skin should not be rolled too thick or too thin.
If it is too thick, it will affect the taste, but if it is too thin, it will break easily.
That's what Uncle Wang did. He rolled the dumpling skins very thin and large, then put a lot of stuffing in them. Plus, his cooking skills were not good enough, so the skins broke before they were even put into the pot to cook.
Mr. Bai remade his dumplings. The ones made by Uncle Wang were definitely inedible. When they were thrown into the pot, they would all turn into soup made from the dumpling filling.
Although Lin Yin's performance was not good at the beginning, she had a strong ability to imitate. After making a few bad ones, the rest looked much better.
Huo Yichen was not inferior to Lin Yin. At the beginning, he was slow because he didn't know how to do it, but now that he has learned it, his speed has increased.
