Chapter 43
"I made cookies, do you want to eat some?" Ming Yunle asked.
Asking this meant that he wanted to try it. Ming Yunyuan said, "I want to eat it."
Ming Yunle handed the cookies to Ming Yunyuan. Ming Yunyuan tasted them and found them quite good. He asked, "Have you started baking again recently?"
"I think winter is a good time for baking. I made a lot. Xia Chen ate a lot just now. I don't know if he can still eat dinner."
Ming Yunle saw that Ming Yunyuan had eaten several pieces and asked, "Tell me, is there anything you want to improve?"
Ming Yunyuan made some objective suggestions, and Ming Yunle wrote them down one by one.
Ming Yunle saw him eat a few more pieces and quickly stopped him: "Don't eat too much, it will be bad if you can't eat dinner tonight. We'll have dumplings tonight with your favorite filling."
When talking about dumplings, Ming Yunyuan thought of the strange-shaped dumplings he made last year.
Judging from Ming Yunle's personality, he will definitely be dragged into the package this year.
Ming Yunyuan asked, "Are we still making dumplings together this year?"
Ming Yunle: "Of course, we did it together last year, don't you want to join us?"
Ming Yunyuan still feels a sense of happiness when he recalls that scene.
"think."
However, although he wanted to, he had to learn the skills of making dumplings.
He had only made dumplings once in his life, last year, and hadn't learned anything this year. Ming Yunyuan felt that his dumpling-making skills couldn't remain unchanged.
Thinking of the resolution he made last year, Ming Yunyuan opened his cell phone.
Not long after, a video of how to make dumplings was played in the living room.
Ming Yunle: “…”
It seems that Ming Yunyuan is still brooding over what happened last year.
Seeing that he had watched three videos and still wanted to continue watching other more detailed tutorials, Ming Yunle said, "Didn't I teach you last year? I taught you step by step, but your wrapping was just average. This thing will only be useful if you practice it yourself."
Ming Yunyuan felt that what Ming Yunle said seemed to be right.
But today’s dumplings have been wrapped, so I can try it next time.

Ruan Yan came the next day.
He hadn't been here recently, and the first thing Ming Yunle asked Ruan Yan after seeing him was, "Can you make dumplings?"
After asking, Ming Yunle felt that he had asked in vain.
Isn't it obvious whether Ruan Yan can make dumplings? He is so skilled at cooking, even making beautiful cakes, so he should be able to make dumplings.
"Yes." Ruan Yan said, "I also know several ways to make dumplings."
This is a true master, Ming Yunle thought.
While he and Ming Yunyuan were still worried about not being able to make dumplings properly, what was Ruan Yan worried about?
Maybe I'm worried about what kind of dumplings to make.
Ming Yunle asked: "Then can you teach me?"
Ruan Yan, of course, thought it was nothing and agreed immediately: "Okay. Which one do you want to learn?"
"I'll learn whichever is easiest, but I'm not even very proficient in the one I know..."
The New Year is coming soon, and the streets are filled with a festive atmosphere.
Ruan Yan wasn't surprised to hear Ming Yunle mention making dumplings. He recalled a previous conversation and asked, "You said last time that you've found a new hobby, making dumplings?"
"No." Ming Yunle recounted the conversation he had with Ming Yunyuan yesterday, and Ruan Yan nodded.
Ruan Yan said: "I also saw the photos Ming Yunyuan sent. It's actually not bad for the first time to wrap it like that."
Hearing Ruan Yan mention his new hobby, Ming Yunle took out a large photo album and said, "It's not really a hobby."
Ming Yunle opened the photo album and the page he turned to was a photo of the lotus pond.
Ruan Yan remembered these photos because Ming Yunle looked at them for a long time, and the one in the middle left a particularly deep impression on Ruan Yan.
Ming Yunle took many photos that day and was most satisfied with the one in the middle. He said he must print it out.
It seems Ming Yunle didn't forget this time.
Ming Yunle said: "We have been to many places and taken many photos, so I plan to put the photos together."
No wonder it's not a hobby, it should be considered organizing, Ruan Yan thought.
Ming Yunle said, "But I took too many photos. For example, when I went to T City before, I brought a camera with me all the way and took hundreds of photos. It's not realistic to put them all in here."
Hearing him say this, Ruan Yan thought of Ming Yunle's active attitude when taking photos in T City.
I really went to a place with beautiful scenery, so I took my camera and started taking pictures.
He didn't pay attention to how many photos Ming Yunle took, but he could guess that it must be a huge number.
Ming Yunle said, "So I picked the best photo from each place and put it in there. If I couldn't decide, I'd just put in two more. But this isn't limited to just the places we went. I'll also put in the places I went alone, or the places I went with my brother or Qin Bai. As long as I took a good photo, I'll put it in there too."
Many of Ming Yunle’s ideas are good, Ruan Yan thought.
It was only later that he started to take scenery photos seriously, especially after learning photography.
Although Ming Yunle felt that he had not studied for a long time, he still gained something.
So it was decided that he would pick the photos in the camera first.
The places in the camera and the ones Ruan Yan visited accounted for the vast majority. Since Ruan Yan was here, of course we had to select photos together.
The process of selecting photos was like recalling the many experiences they had together.
Ming Yunle saw a photo of a fruit tree and asked Ruan Yan, "When was this photo taken? I don't remember it. Was it taken when we went there together? My photo looks pretty good."
Ruan Yan looked at the fruit tree and thought for a while, then said, "I don't remember either."
There were so many memories between them that it was hard to recall what happened just by looking at a fruit tree.
But Ming Yunle was very happy and said, "Unknown is also very good."
He picked for a while, picked out the one he was most satisfied with, and said, "Put this photo in there. Just because you can't remember it now doesn't mean you won't remember it in the future."
After selecting photos for a while, they felt tired. Ming Yunle was about to go make some coffee, but Ruan Yan stopped him and said, "Wait a minute."
Ruan Yan went to the bar and asked, "Is it still the same?"
Ming Yunle nodded. He had already guessed what Ruan Yan was going to do.
Just as he thought, Ruan Yan gave him a flower.
Looking at the heart above, Ming Yunle said, "Why is the heart so well drawn this time?"
“Because this is the pattern I make every time I drink coffee.”
After drinking coffee, they followed their usual routine and did not do anything right away, but walked around.
It was about an hour later that we got back to the task of selecting photos.
This is a huge workload and they definitely cannot finish it in one or two days.
Of course, they are not in a hurry to finish everything.
Ruan Yanshi would take time out from time to time to come over and help Ming Yunle sort things out.
The photo album was filled up little by little, but Ming Yunle left the first page empty.
Use the first page to store some particularly precious memories.
Ruan Yan flipped through the photo album and looked at the scenery inside.
Looking at these, he could guess the approximate location.
As Ruan Yan looked at it, he realized something. He opened the map of City A and marked every place one by one.
Ruan Yan discovered that they had almost walked through the entire city of A.
This was done unintentionally.
When Ming Yunle was told about this discovery, he was also surprised.
"Is everything finished?"
Ruan Yan said: "Of course I didn't walk through all of them, but I basically visited all the main areas."
Ming Yunle looked at the map of City A bit by bit and found that it was indeed like this.
"But I haven't been to all the main areas. I haven't been to all the interesting places in the area."
Ruan Yan laughed: "That will take a long, long time."
It took more than a long time. City A is so big that it took me a long time to see the characteristics of most of the major areas.
If you go farther, it will take one to two days.
If we really want to complete the whole thing, it will be a huge project.
Ming Yunle was just talking casually.
Ming Yunle: "We can use the photos to do a process of elimination. Mark out the places we've been to. I didn't expect that organizing photos could be useful in this way."
Ruan Yan pointed to a place and said, "Let's go here next time."
"Um."
Ming Yunle was flipping through the camera when he suddenly remembered something.
He took out his cell phone and started taking pictures of the day he climbed the mountain.
Ming Yunle picked and chose, saying, "The first page must contain photos from today."
Hearing that Ming Yunle was going to put photos on the first page, Ruan Yan came over curiously, and was stunned after seeing the contents of his phone.
“This isn’t…”
"This was when the four of us went hiking together. After all, I was confessed to that day, so I had to leave a souvenir on the first page."
Ruan Yan hugged him and kissed him, saying, "I really like you."
Ming Yunle: “!”
"Do you like listening to it? If you like listening to it, I will say it more times."
"Yeah, I like it."
The two have been together for a long time, and Ming Yunle was not as embarrassed as he was when he first heard it.
He kissed her back, "I like you too."
Originally, he had to prepare himself mentally before saying this, but as he has expressed his love more often, it comes more naturally to him now.
Ruan Yan looked at Ming Yunle and smiled, but Ming Yunle didn't understand why.
Ruan Yan said, "Nothing."
*
We will have dumplings tonight as Ming Yunyuan requested. The chef has prepared everything and is waiting for Ming Yunyuan to make them.
Ming Yunle couldn't help but hold his forehead when he saw how flustered he was.
After all, almost a year had passed, and Ming Yunyuan had very little memory of the last time he made dumplings.
Ming Yunle hasn't made dumplings for a long time.
Although he has been baking, cooking, and making fruit tea recently, making dumplings is indeed a long time ago.
He also tried it, but the result was not as good as last time.
Ruan Yan just watched the two brothers making their package. He had only heard Ming Yunle mention it in the video before, but this time he saw it live.
He watched for a while, and instead of helping Ming Yunyuan who obviously needed help more, he went to help Ming Yunle.
Ming Yunle at least really learned it and quickly found the feeling.
He wanted to learn something else, so Ruan Yan packed a few for him to choose from.
