Chapter 186 New Year's Eve Dinner
"Sister, come here quickly! Daddy and uncle have made something fun!" Xiaowen and Xiaowu ran over.
"What's fun?" Little Dumpling instantly became energetic.
The three little ones came to the door hand in hand.
"Wow!" Little Dumpling's mouth opened into a circle in surprise.
Would you like to go on a slide?
Ye Yanping dropped the shovel in his hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiuer, this is our birthday present for you!"
Ye Yan'an was panting with exhaustion, "Do you like it? I designed it!"
Ye Yanshun wiped his sweat with his hand, "Come and try it, otherwise the snow will melt!"
It makes me sad just talking about it.
Because the gifts they had prepared before were not good enough, the three of them thought of preparing a new gift for Xiaotuanzi.
After much thought, Ye Yan'an remembered the drawings he had seen before and decided to use local materials and snow to build a fun amusement park for Xiao Jiuer.
In order to create a surprise, the three of them hurriedly worked while Xiaotuanzi was not at home.
As a result, just when it was almost completed, the sun suddenly came out!
It’s still sunny!
The sun coming out is something to be happy about, but at that moment, they felt so happy that they wanted to cry!
God, he's so good at choosing the time!
"Thank you, Dada, and thank you, Couch. I love it!"
The little dumpling happily climbed up the steps made of snow, came to the highest point of the castle, and then slid down the high ice and snow slide.
"Yeah, it's fun!"
"Here we go!"
Xiaowen and Xiaowen followed and slid down. The three little ones giggled happily on the snow.
The children from the village also came, climbing up and down the snow castle, laughing and talking happily.
"Finally, my efforts were not in vain!"
Ye Yanping and the other two looked at the little girl's innocent smile, and the depression in their hearts disappeared.
"Tick-tick..." The water under the eaves dripped faster and faster.
"Come out to bask in the sun!"
The villagers brought stools and sat in front of the door, lying in the sun and chatting.
Xiao Jiuer's birthday ended in this strange situation.
Next, it’s the Chinese New Year.
This year's Chinese New Year is easier because the roads are blocked and no relatives or friends will come to visit us, so there is no need to prepare much.
If you have money, you can celebrate a prosperous New Year; if you don’t have money, you can celebrate a simple New Year. It’s up to you whether to be rich or frugal.
The Ye family’s New Year’s Eve dinner is not simple, because there is a little foodie named Xiaotuanzi who put the ingredients in the kitchen early.
After the Ye family finished breakfast, Yunniang and Rong'er started busying themselves in the kitchen, including Luo Qiuyue, who was not good at cooking, who came to help.
The women prepare and cook the food, while the men do the manual labor.
The three brothers Ye Yanping were caught up to help, some were kneading the dough, some were rolling out the dumpling wrappers, and some were chopping the meat filling, and they were very busy.
"Master, come and make dumplings!" Xiaowen and Xiaowu shouted at the kitchen door.
"Husband, come quickly!" Little Dumpling also helped to shout.
“Here it comes!”
Zhao Xingjian ran into the dining room happily. Unlike before when he was bitter and resentful and blamed everyone, Zhao Xingjian was now in high spirits and looked much more cheerful.
The kitchen was steaming hot, and several women were busy inside.
In the dining room, others were making dumplings.
The three little ones each held a piece of dough in their hands, kneading it into various shapes and having fun.
"Daddy, are you going to make dumplings too? Do you know how to do it?" Rong'er joked during her busy schedule.
"What can't you do? Who do you think you are more capable than?" Zhao Xingjian rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands, picked up the dumpling wrappers and started to get busy.
"How is it?" Zhao Xingjian placed the willow-leaf-shaped dumplings he had made on the bamboo curtain.
Everyone praised it highly, "I didn't realize the Master could do this!"
"Master is more skillful than me!" Luo Qiuyue said with a smile, "Thank goodness I have such a capable daughter-in-law like Yunniang. Before Yunniang came into the family, the Ye family didn't even have the New Year's Eve dinner."
"Yeah!" Ye Yanping nodded, "It would be nice to have a bowl of cooked noodles for the New Year's Eve dinner!"
"Hey hey hey!" Luo Qiuyue knocked the chopping board with a spoon. "Ye Yanping, are you itching for trouble? I'm just making up my own story, why are you joining in the fun?"
"Mom, I will avenge you!" Ye Yan'an smiled ingratiatingly.
"Brother, how dare you laugh at our mom?" Ye Yan'an turned to look at Ye Yanping, "Why do you always make dumplings with a big grin on your face?"
"Yes!" Ye Yanping frowned and looked at his masterpiece, "Why do I feel like they are laughing at me?"
Luo Qiuyue came over and took a look. "Indeed, Jiaozi is laughing at you. You are so lucky to have a good wife!"
"Mom, why do I feel like you are praising me?" Ye Yanping looked at Yunniang's busy figure with a happy smile on his face.
"You're just foolishly happy!" Luo Qiuyue glared at Ye Yanping. "It's the New Year, and your silly little brother is another year older. As the eldest brother, you don't even bother to help out!"
A silly little brother: "Are you talking about me?"
Ye Yanshun shrugged, "It won't be me."
"No!" Ye Yan'an was confused. "Why do I need you to worry about me?"
Ye Yanshun shook his head while making dumplings. "Brother, our mother has been talking about a capable daughter-in-law. Why didn't you understand? She means that she hopes you will also marry a capable daughter-in-law!"
"Can you find a capable wife just by looking for one?" Ye Yan'an glanced at Zhao Xingjian, "Master..."
Zhao Xingjian shuddered and looked at Ye Yan'an with a burning gaze, his eyes filled with earnest encouragement: "Yan'an, whatever you want to say, just say it!"
"Master, if my mother wants to find someone capable, why not just adopt Rong'er as her goddaughter? Why put the pressure on me?"
"Uh..." The light in Zhao Xingjian's eyes disappeared, and he pondered, "It's obvious that your mother wants a daughter-in-law more than a goddaughter."
Hey, silly boy, my beautiful daughter is always around you every day, why don’t you wake up?
The first time Zhao Xingjian met Ye Yan'an was in the Ye family's fields. Ye Yan'an invented the plow cart, and Zhao Xingjian fell in love with this young man at that time.
There is no need to say more about what happens later.
After moving into the Ye family, Ye Yan'an and Rong'er had a good relationship and became very close, which made Zhao Xingjian very pleased.
Recently, Zhao Xingjian often wakes up laughing in his dreams, because in the dreams Ye Buwei calls him "relative"!
Haha, the Regent calls me his in-law!
…
Zhao Xingjian was wrapping dumplings silently. Now it seemed that there was only pure friendship between Yan An and Rong'er, and no love between men and women.
Alas, marriage cannot be forced.
Forget it, forget it, I’m not destined to have that fate!
…
When it got dark, the Ye family's New Year's Eve dinner was ready.
The table was filled with chicken, duck, fish and meat, and with dumplings and stewed soup, the table was almost full.
"Hey, sit down!" Little Tuanzi took Ye Buwei's hand and helped him sit down.
"Xiao Jiuer, I heard that you also make dumplings, right?"
"Yeah!" The little dumpling smiled sweetly with her lips pursed.
"Naughty dumpling! I made this for you!" The little dumpling clumsily picked up the small spoon, scooped a dumpling and put it into Ye Buwei's bowl.
"Brain bag, give you seven sevens!"
"Thank you, Xiao Jiuer." Ye Buwei smiled. "This dumpling made by Xiao Jiuer is really beautiful. It's long and curly, just like a little snake!"
