Chapter 81 She smiled till her lips curled up
Jiang Tang heard Fu Sinian's voice, quickly turned around and said, "You're back. It's just in time. I made some pickled cabbage dumplings, and we can eat soon."
"Sauerkraut...dumplings?"
Fu Sinian's tone was hesitant, his eyes fell on the charming smile on Jiang Tang's face, his eyes were particularly serious, as if he wanted to see something.
"Yes, sauerkraut dumplings. Sister Zhao gave us some sauerkraut before, and she came over today to teach me how to make them. I didn't know how to roll out the wrappers, so Sister Zhao taught me. I made a variety of dumplings, big and small. They don't look very pretty, but they taste good. You can eat the big dumplings, and give the small ones to Chaochao and Yueyue..."
Jiang Tang said with a smile, her voice clear and high. As she spoke, she felt Fu Sinian's overly focused gaze and subconsciously raised her head and touched her face.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face? Is it sauerkraut or flour? Is it on my face?"
She tilted her head to look at the red mirror hanging on the wall and take a closer look at her face.
Fu Sinian quickly grabbed her and said, "There's nothing on your face. It's just... if you're having pickled cabbage dumplings tonight, would you still eat this?"
The bright red and shiny candied haws were handed to Jiang Tang.
"Tanghulu?" Jiang Tang's eyes lit up and he looked up and asked, "Fu Sinian, where did you buy those candied haws? That's not right. You should have just finished training at this time. How do you still have time to buy some?"
Jiang Tang is indeed a meticulous person and is quite sensitive to this.
Fu Sinian's ears warmed up, and a hint of uneasiness flashed in his dark eyes. He cleared his throat and said, "I heard that eating sweet things can make people feel better."
"You heard..." Jiang Tang blurted out the words, and instantly understood the key point of Fu Sinian's words, "You think I'm in a bad mood?"
"Fu Sinian, why do you think I'm in a bad mood? Is it because you knew I only got second place in the exam, not first?"
"So you thought I was in a bad mood and bought some candied haws specifically to comfort me?"
Jiang Tang was holding a candied haws in her hand, her smile sweeter than the sparkling candy, her eyes curved as she gazed at Fu Sinian. However, her words one after another made the man, who had never said a word of love in his life, feel at a loss.
Fu Sinian, standing with his back to the light, had red ears and a burning sensation on his neck.
He whispered, "...Chao Chao and Yue Yue also want to eat candied haws."
He actually used the child as an excuse to fool her.
It was a pity that Jiang Tang didn't hear any sweet words from Fu Sinian, but looking at Fu Sinian, he was almost fuming. Moreover, Fu Sinian was not good at speaking, otherwise he would not have been misunderstood by the original owner for so long.
Although he may not be good at speaking, he does it with all his heart, which is quite good.
"Si Nian, thank you for the candied haws." Jiang Tang giggled, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Fu Si Nian's thin lips.
Like the gentle touch of a butterfly spreading its wings and flying.
Faint, brief, just for a moment.
Fu Sinian was still unsatisfied, with dissatisfaction hidden in his eyes. His gaze was deeply locked on Jiang Tang's face. As he silently longed for more, he heard a sentence that surprised him.
"Fu Sinian, don't worry. Second place is great. I'm not kind-hearted at all. I don't want this so-called assistant job at all. When Chief He mentioned it before, I wanted to refuse. It's just that those two people in the art troupe were too annoying. I wanted to piss them off so I said I wanted to take the competitive exam. Now it's good. First place is Huang Yiyi. Not only does it slap Ye Yunshu in the face, but I don't have to be Song Yuanyang's assistant. Kill two birds with one stone~"
Fu Sinian hesitated again and asked, "Tangtang, are you saying... you didn't want to be Song Yuanyang's assistant from the beginning?"
"Yes, you know the nature of Song Yuanyang's work. Even if I was selected at the beginning, I would still be kicked out due to my identity issues when it comes to confidential missions. Rather than being embarrassed at that time, it's better not to go in at the beginning. I don't want to waste this effort."
Jiang Tang told Fu Sinian her true thoughts. As the steam rose, she reached out to take the steamed dumplings.
"I'll do it."
Fu Sinian quickly reached out, protected Jiang Tang behind him, and took the sauerkraut dumplings out of the steaming pot.
Jiang Tang stood aside with nothing to do, picked up the candied haws in his hand and took a bite.
With a crunch, I bit into the hard outer sugar and the sour hawthorn. It was sour and sweet, so delicious.
Her smile turned upside down.
At the same time, Fu Sinian also had a smile on his face.
Jiang Tang looked at the man's unconcealable smile, and her heart was as clear as a mirror.
Fu Sinian didn't want her to have too much contact with Song Yuanyang. Now that she doesn't have to be his assistant anymore, she is not sad, and the man is so happy.
Seeing Fu Sinian happy, Jiang Tang felt happy too.
"Mother."
After the hot sauerkraut dumplings were served, Chaochao and Yueyue quickly came into the house.
The first thing Jiang Tang did was to take the candied haws from Chao Chao and Yue Yue, and then earnestly taught them, "Didn't Mom teach you not to eat snacks before meals?"
She looked carefully and saw that Chaochao only ate one hawthorn and Yueyue ate one and a half. Overall, they didn't eat much. Considering the extent to which children are tempted by sweets, they were well controlled.
Therefore, Jiang Tang’s tone of teaching was not harsh.
Yueyue looked up, blinked her big eyes and said, "That was given to me by my father."
Jiang Tang became serious and scolded Fu Sinian as well, "That was Dad's fault."
Fu Sinian put his fist in front of his mouth, coughed awkwardly a few times, and said, "I told them not to eat too much."
Jiang Tang raised his eyes and said fiercely, "As an adult, how can you trust a child's self-control? They are not your soldiers who must obey your orders."
Fu Sinian immediately said, "Well, I made a mistake. I won't do it again."
The new father was taught another lesson in parenting.
Jiang Tang finally nodded in satisfaction. "It's quite good that you can admit your mistakes and correct them. Chaochao, Yueyue, have you remembered this?"
"Mom, remember."
Chaochao and Yueyue both nodded obediently, but Chaochao still delivered a soul-stirring attack.
"Mom, there's one missing from your string of candied haws. Did you eat it?"
Jiang Tang's cheeks flushed, and she said embarrassedly, "That was Mom's fault. From now on, our whole family can't eat anything else before dinner. Come, let's eat."
After a profound "pre-meal education" for all four members of the family, they sat down at the table and started to eat today's dinner.
"Wow...Sister Zhao's pickled cabbage is so delicious, and these dumplings are so tasty. I guess I need to learn how to pickle pickled cabbage from Sister Zhao in the winter."
"Mom, the dumplings are delicious."
"Mom, I want to eat ten or twenty today..."
"Next time when I come back, we'll make dumplings together. I can roll out the wrappers."
The family of four chatted with each other, stuffing their mouths with delicious dumplings and couldn't stop eating.
