Director Cai, who was so happy holding Chu Chu that he was completely disoriented, didn't expect everyone to have such rich inner thoughts. He reluctantly put Chu Chu down and took Qi Yu to the next group.
Lin Ranran wasn't moving very fast; she was only just starting to cut the dough pieces. But the key was that she was confident.
Director Cai watched for a while with an awkward yet polite smile, then managed to stammer out a few words, "President Qi, look at me. This is Teacher Lin Ranran, the most composed guest this time. Look at how Teacher Lin does things—unhurried and methodical..."
It's so slow I can't even continue talking, sigh...
Let's go, let's go.
Director Cai then took Qi Yu on a tour of the nearby streets.
It was almost 11 o'clock when we got back, and the guests were still busy making dumplings. No one had finished making them yet.
Si Yiming and his two children squatted on the ground, propping their heads up and racking their brains for dumpling designs. Lin Ranran, on the other hand, was carefree. Every time she finished making a dumpling, she would gather it in front of Xiu Kaijie to show him, only to be met with Xiu Kaijie's "heartless" response: "Mommy, can you be realistic? Look at this dumpling, is there any difference between it and the last one?"
They're not all dumplings with filling already placed in them and then pinched together along the edges, without any patterns. Lin Ranran has already made more than a dozen dumplings without any patterns.
"Then you can help me make dumplings! Quick, stand up and make dumplings with me..."
Lin Ranran stretched out her flour-covered hands and pinched Xiu Kaijie's face. "Kaijie, Mommy suddenly remembered something. Everyone has to do some work before they can eat lunch. Look at you, you haven't made a single dumpling. You'll be hungry at noon."
Xiu Kaijie looked shocked. "Why didn't you say so this morning?"
He's been squatting here for over an hour, his legs are numb, and he hasn't done anything. Is he really going to starve while everyone else eats delicious dumplings at lunchtime?!
Lin Ranran's expression was one of utter helplessness, and her tone was incredibly gentle, "My dear Kai Kai, Mommy just couldn't bear to tell you. Originally, Mommy wanted to finish as quickly as possible and then share the credit with you, but now Mommy has changed her mind. I want to cultivate your independence and self-reliance~~~"
"Then...then..." Xiu Kaijie looked around and suddenly pointed at Chu Chu, who was hopping around on the hopscotch square, "She didn't do anything, so why can she eat?"
That's not fair!
"Didn't Chuchu just make dumplings? You complained that they were ugly, have you forgotten?"
Xiu Kaijie: "..."
It was ugly to begin with, and incredibly stingy. It only had one kernel of corn and a tiny bit of meat in it. It pinched the edges and then rolled it into a ball. What's the difference between it and a small round ball?
Chu Chu, who was called out, looked at Xiu Kaijie with a blank expression and giggled, then continued playing hopscotch.
The concrete floor still has some squares drawn by children that haven't been wiped off, and it has now become Chuchu's new playground, where the little one is having a great time.
"Kai Kai, hurry up! If you want to eat lunch, you have to do it yourself. Self-reliance is the key to a good life, you know?"
Lin Ranran changed into a new pair of gloves for herself and put gloves on Xiu Kaijie as well. She pointed to the five dough sheets that had already been rolled out on the cutting board and said, "You finish wrapping those first, and Mommy will roll out the dough sheets."
When are children most hardworking? Of course, it's when they're eating! Xiu Kaijie was really enthusiastic in order to eat the delicious dumplings. After finishing wrapping the dough, he urged Lin Ranran to roll out the dough faster. Not only that, he also put in a lot of filling and made a mark on the dumplings according to his "Xiu-style unique technique".
