Li Xiaoyan looked at the remaining stuffing in the bowl, rolled out a few more dumpling wrappers, and when she felt it was about done, she put the remaining dough back into the bowl.
"When do we make the pancakes? Do we make them after we cook the wontons?"
"Well, roll the pancake a little bigger. That way it will cook faster in the pan."
Li Xiaoyan, "During the time I was at your house, I ate delicious food every day. But when I go home and eat the food cooked by my mother-in-law, it feels tasteless."
Lin Qiaoqiao smiled, "You know what seasonings I have in my kitchen. When I'm done here, you can research and make them yourself! It's not a difficult task. As long as you use enough seasonings, even a piece of tree bark will taste good!"
Li Xiaoyan, "You're right. If I want to cook something delicious in the future, I'll come and ask you for advice. I'll be able to cook it with just your guidance!"
The two of them finished wrapping the dumplings while chatting and laughing, and then went outside to work again.
Hot and sour soup dumplings are very popular with everyone. In this weather, a bowl of sour and spicy soup is delicious, and there is a lot of meat in the dumplings.
There were also freshly baked pancakes to eat, which made the meal a great experience.
The bowl of chili oil that was prepared was also eaten up cleanly.
Everyone chatted after the meal and planned to go back to work later.
At this time, a person walked in from outside the door. It was Li Xiaoyan's mother-in-law Yu Li, holding Cao Dashan's hand.
That chubby and cute appearance instantly attracted the crowd.
Boys are very popular, especially in this village. People generally like boys and believe that as long as they have a root, they can set up a family.
There were still some dumplings left. Lin Qiaoqiao touched Cao Dashan's fat face.
"Are you hungry? Have you had lunch?"
"Hungry..." a word came out of Cao Dashan's mouth.
Yu Li quickly explained, "I've already eaten. I had a big bowl of rice!"
Lin Qiaoqiao, "Do you want to give him two of the remaining dumplings?"
Yu Li, "Make one first and see if he eats it. As for children, they say whatever they want. No one knows what they are talking about."
Lin Qiaoqiao decisively scooped a dumpling from the basin and put it in the bowl, then found a spoon and asked Li Xiaoyan to feed the child.
When Cao Dashan saw that they were dumplings, he immediately opened his mouth and started eating. Because they tasted so good, his little mouth couldn't help but eat faster and he almost choked.
"Eat slowly, there's more!" Li Xiaoyan looked at the child's eating habits and didn't know who he took after.
At this time, Yu Li pulled Lin Qiaoqiao aside to talk.
"A group of people from the next village came to find a date for their daughter. I think the girl is pretty, but they want a high bride price of 300 yuan!"
Lin Qiaoqiao, "This betrothal gift is indeed a bit high. Is the girl pretty?"
Yu Li, “Brought the person to my home personally, I saw that he was good-looking, with sparkling eyes.
Doesn’t your third brother have a wife? Do you want to take a look? But the bride price is high.”
Lin Qiaoqiao, "Why did you suddenly bring someone here? Is there something wrong with that girl's family?"
Yu Li, "I heard from the village chief that the girl's brother's leg was broken by a car accident and he urgently needed money for surgery. That's why he resorted to this desperate measure. The 300 yuan is the betrothal money."
Lin Qiaoqiao, "Will they ask for 300 yuan, and then if the surgery fee is not enough, they will ask for more. Wouldn't that cause trouble for my brother?"
Yu Li thought so too. She asked for 300 yuan. What if it was not enough? Wouldn't that cause trouble? She had good intentions but ended up with bad results.
"Then just pretend I didn't say anything. Have you ever thought of this?"
Lin Qiaoqiao, "You have good intentions. You want my brother to find a partner."
Lin Hu happened to pass by and heard these words, "Auntie, I'm not in a hurry to find a wife! The child is still young!"
"Are you Qiao Qiao's third brother?" Yu Li looked at him from head to toe. The young man was strong and sturdy, not much different from her son. His skin was very dark, and it was obvious that he had been working there for a long time.
"Yes! I am her third brother!" Lin Hu replied.
Yu Li, "I just spoke too quickly. There is a girl in Taonan Village who is looking for a partner. She was brought here by the village chief. I think she is pretty! She asked for 300 yuan as a gift. Now I think what if she wants more money in the future?"
Lin Hu, "What's her last name? I worked there before."
Yu Li, "His last name is Fan, and his brother's name is Fan Something-An. He broke his leg in a car accident and needs some money.
They were anxious to marry off their daughter, fearing that people would accuse them of being liars. The village chief brought them here. I would say this girl is just unlucky, she's pretty!"
Lin Hu, "Is that man called Fan De'an?"
Yu Li thought about it and it seemed to be this name. "How did you know? Do you know each other?"
"I know him." Lin Hu thought of how Fan De'an had saved his life and was eager to know what was going on.
That year he went up the mountain to cut trees and encountered a herd of wild boars.
The situation at that time might have resulted in someone being killed. Fortunately, Fan Dean came running over from not far away, and they used knives to scare the wild boar together, so nothing serious happened and the person only suffered some injuries.
Then they became friends, and he went to Fan's house twice to deliver things and had dinner there.
So he knew Fan Dean's sister, Fan Qiuju. The girl was indeed very pretty, and she spoke very nicely despite her young age.
In the blink of an eye, several years have passed and I have grown into a big girl.
Yu Li, "I heard it's quite serious, maybe he needs amputation! Now people are meeting each other at the entrance of the village, do you want to go and see what's going on?"
Lin Hu looked at his sister and said, "I'll go see what's going on!"
Lin Qiaoqiao, "Brother, I'll go with you!"
Lin Hu, "If it's really the person I know, then he saved my life before, I can't just ignore it."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go over there! If you really know someone and can help, you have to help!"
Lin Qiaoqiao was a little confused because she had never heard of anyone saving her third brother, so she could only follow him.
The brother and sister hurried to the village entrance.
I saw a lot of people gathered there. In fact, there are quite a lot of unmarried young men in the village, but there are really only a few families in the village who can come up with 300 yuan at once.
They squeezed in with the crowd and saw a girl wearing a flowered shirt and two big braids. She was very pretty, but her skin was a little dark. She was a dark beauty. She must have worked in the fields often, otherwise she wouldn't be so tanned.
Fan Qiuju saw Lin Hu at first sight. Seeing the familiar older brother, tears immediately fell from her eyes.
"Brother Huzi!"
Lin Hu looked at Qiu Ju, who had grown into a big girl. She had obviously grown taller.
"Tell me what happened quickly. Why did your brother get into a car accident?"
Fan Qiuju's eyes were filled with tears. "My brother was transporting goods with a truck. When the truck overturned, his leg was crushed. Because he was not rescued in time, the blood vessels in his leg were blocked. The doctor said he had to have his leg amputated!"
