Jiang Wenwan was amused by his appearance.
The family was eating chicken feet, but the two little ones didn't like chicken feet, so they ate dumplings instead.
Jiang Wenwan discovered that the dumplings were filled with mackerel.
Today's dinner table has nothing but chicken feet, chicken wings, and dumplings.
Jiang Wenwan finally realized something was wrong with those dumplings.
"Mom, are there any dumplings left?"
Shen Meiling smiled.
"I had some leftover filling, so I made some more dough."
I made too much dough, so I added some filling.
We've used up all the dough and filling today, so we only have these dumplings left.
"If you want some, we'll make more today!"
Jiang Wenwan shook her head quickly.
"No, no, no, we can eat from New Year's Eve to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, that's enough."
I think we don't need to eat dumplings anymore, right?
Zhou's father ate his dumplings silently to the side.
"I remember eating dumplings until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month last year."
We only started eating glutinous rice balls on the night of the Lantern Festival (January 15th of the lunar calendar).
Oh, right, and the fried meatballs, which have been steamed for several days.
That's terrifying.
Jiang Wenwan didn't want to keep eating dumplings until the Lantern Festival.
Zhou's father's words earned him a reproachful glare from Shen Meiling.
"Isn't this what we eat during Chinese New Year?"
I learned all of these from the women in the family compound.
"These are the same things we have for Chinese New Year. We're lucky to have these things; when I was a child, we didn't even have these for Chinese New Year."
Does Jiang Wenwan mean to say that she isn't a capitalist's daughter?
How could they not even have these?
I thought about it and then swallowed my words, deciding not to say anything more. As long as she doesn't keep eating these things, that's fine.
Although he has a space, there is also food stored in the space.
But she doesn't eat the same thing every day; she still tries to vary the dishes.
Hearing Shen Meiling say this, Zhou's father coughed lightly:
"You decide what to cook, and I'll eat whatever you make."
Shen Meiling smiled and gave him a reproachful look.
When are you going back?
"I'll leave on the eighth day of the lunar new year, so I can stay here for two more days."
Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. The sixth and seventh days are only two days. On the third day, the eighth day, my father will go back home.
"That's fine too, at least we can come back and get together this year."
Do you want to take him with you?
School starts again after the New Year, and this kid is going to miss a whole semester staying here. Let's just take him back to school!
Zhou Ye was still thinking about going swimming in the sea in the summer!
Rebut it immediately.
"I'm not going back!"
This time, Chen Meiling wouldn't indulge him, nor would she prevent him from going back to school just because she missed her son.
"No, you can go back with your dad directly. Otherwise, I'll have to have your brother take you back at the end of the month."
"But I still want to go swimming in the sea in the summer!"
Shen Meiling had already thought about this issue.
"Come over in the summer, when you're on summer vacation!"
You can still swim in the sea, it won't interfere with your studies.
Zhou Ye thought his mother's words made sense.
"Besides, if you don't go back, this semester will be wasted."
Do you want to repeat another year?
All the kids in your class are about your age. If you repeat a year, what will happen?
Then you'll be their junior.
Repeating a year, a junior?
Zhou Ye shook his head; he didn't want to repeat a grade.
"Then I'd better go back!"
But you promised me you'd let me come over during summer vacation.
Shen Meiling successfully manipulated her son and beamed with joy.
"Okay, don't worry, I mean what I say. I'll definitely pick you up when you're on summer vacation."
Zhou Ye was still a little uneasy about his mother's assurance, so I looked at Jiang Wenwan.
"Sister-in-law, you can be the witness."
If my mom won't let me come over in the summer, you'll have to vouch for me.
Jiang Wenwan is happy.
"OK!
Don't worry, I'll be your witness.
I'll come over when you're on summer vacation.
Zhou Ye still trusts Jiang Wenwan.
Hearing her say that, her previously wrinkled little face finally broke into a smile!
I wonder if this kid will still remember this by summer.
But if it's summer vacation, coming to play for a month wouldn't be a big problem.
The two little ones next to the other person, Tangbao and Fantuan, looked annoyed.
Rice ball: "We haven't had enough fun with Uncle yet!"
Sugar Bun: "I also want to eat the eggs that my uncle fried."
Zhou Ye: "Don't bring this up again. I never want to fry eggs or make fried rice with eggs again."
Next time, let's do something else. When summer comes, you can teach me how to swim in the sea.
Can either of you swim?
Sugar Packet immediately perked up.
"Of course I can! My dad taught me!"
Jiang Wenwan didn't even know if she could do it, but she just patted her chest and said she could.
The rice ball nodded in agreement.
"I can do that too! Come next time and I'll teach you!"
Jiang Wenwan looked at Zhou Yunting.
When did they learn it?
Zhou Yunting returned her speechless yet amused looks; he didn't know either.
Only Zhou Ye believed them.
"Okay, then I'll have you teach me how to swim next time I come!"
Sugar Packet didn't forget to kindly remind her.
"Uncle, remember to bring your swimming ring!"
Jiang Wenwan found it amusing to listen from the side.
Time flies. After eating mackerel dumplings for two more days, it's already the eighth day of the lunar new year.
Zhou's father took Zhou Ye back.
Zhou Yunting took the two little ones to see them off. After they left, the house felt empty.
Only Shen Meiling and Jiang Wenwan remained at home.
Shen Meiling sighed; reunions are always too short.
What should we eat for lunch?
