Li Shuping knew that the Lin family was planning to persuade her to go back, so she was wrapping dumplings quickly.
The dumplings have been sold out and are now being made and cooked.
Looking at the dogs lined up in front of the stall, Li Shuping only hated herself for not being able to grow two more dogs.
Lin Xiaoyu and Qin Ye walked to the alley and saw a crowd gathered in front of the stall. Two small tables were filled with people eating dumplings, and a few others were standing beside them eating with their food in hand.
"This is such a good idea!" Lin Xiaoyu said in amazement. Seeing her mother coming over, she quickly ran over to help.
"mom."
Seeing her daughter coming back, Li Shuping seemed to see a savior, "Xiaoyu, hurry up and wash your clothes and help me make dumplings. I'll be here soon."
"Okay." Lin Xiaoyu rolled up her sleeves, washed herself, and started making dumplings.
Li Shuping also taught her how to make dumplings, and she made them quickly and well.
With Lin Xiaoyu's help, Li Shuping felt a lot more relaxed. After a while, she prepared several bowls of dumplings.
Qin Ye stood there and watched for a while, then went home.
When Gu Zhenyuan arrived, there were still several people queuing in front of the stall. He was a little surprised to see such good business.
He walked forward and stood at the back of the line. He was wearing an olive green police uniform, and his tall and straight figure was particularly eye-catching. Young men and women secretly sized him up, and some even whispered about him.
"Is this police comrade here to eat dumplings too?"
"Yeah, they're all lined up, they're here to chase you down anyway."
"It seems that what they said about setting up stalls will get you chased away or arrested is really true."
"Now it's the same as before, the policy has been relaxed..."
"Your dumplings." Li Shuping handed the bowl, chopsticks and dumplings to the one at the front of the line. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Gu Zhenyuan at the end of the line.
"Captain Gu!" He really came. Is his dumpling charm really that good? He even came to eat two meals in a row.
Gu Zhenyuan nodded slightly, "You are busy, I will wait in line."
Li Shuping: "Then wait a moment."
The one in the front line, when Li Shuping called him captain, wanted him to go first, but Gu Zhenyuan refused.
Finally, it was Gu Zhenyuan's turn. Gu Zhenyuan handed over the net bag containing three lunch boxes and said, "Pack three servings of dumplings for me."
Li Shuping took the net bag and asked, "How far is your home?"
“It takes half an hour to drive.”
Li Shuping: "They are cold in half an hour. Once they are cold, they will taste good when reheated. I will pack them for you. I will give you a few extra. You can take them home and cook them. They will be the same as eating them here."
Gu Zhenyuan thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, that's what we need."
Li Shuping packed twenty for him, filling all three lunch boxes.
After it was packed, he put it into a net bag and handed it to Gu Zhenyuan, "Here you go."
Gu Zhenyuan reached out to take it, and threw a dollar into the iron box containing money, "You need change."
After saying that, he left without looking back, and Li Shuping didn't have time to call him.
Li Shuping didn't expect the food to be so good. She used about 20 kilograms of stuffing and 20 kilograms of wrappers to make 700 to 800 dumplings, which were all sold out by 6:30.
The mother and daughter smiled at each other when they saw the two empty basins.
Success!
…
"My poor Shushu, she was only three years old and got lost. In such a chaotic environment, I don't know if there is anyone kind enough to adopt her, or if she is still alive."
Gu Zhenyuan walked into the house carrying a lunch box and heard his old neighbor Aunt Yu telling his mother about her daughter who was lost in the chaos while fleeing to avoid enemy pursuit before liberation.
After liberation, Aunt Yu and her family have been trying hard to find their lost daughter, but there has been no news, and the probability is that she is in great danger.
"Didn't the fortune teller say that Shushu is a lucky child? She must still be alive in this world." Mother Gu patiently comforted her friend. She didn't know how many times she had said these words over the years.
"Mom, Aunt Yu."
"Zhenyuan is back." The white-haired old lady Yu wiped the tears from her face with her hands. Her tearful face could not be seen by the younger generation.
"Yeah." Gu Zhenyuan nodded.
Mother Gu turned her head and looked at her son. "I'm waiting for you to come home for dinner. What food did you pack?"
She saw the lunch box her son Gu Zhen was carrying in his arms.
"The leek and egg dumplings, I ate them and they tasted great. I bought some and asked Sister Chen to cook them so I can eat them directly."
Mother Gu stood up and took it, then called the babysitter Xiao Chen to the kitchen.
The nanny came out of the kitchen with her apron on. Gu's mother gave her the dumplings and asked her to take them to the kitchen to cook.
"Where is my dad?" Gu Zhenyuan asked.
"I'm playing chess with your Uncle Li in the study upstairs." These two old men are both chess enthusiasts, and they get together to play chess.
Gu Zhenyuan: "Then I'll go up and say hello."
Old Mrs. Yu: "They are from outside. I didn't go up to say hello. They should be coming down by now."
Okay, Gu Zhenyuan hasn’t gone up yet. He is sitting on the single sofa chair waiting for dinner.
Mother Gu: "By the way, I met your Aunt Feng today. She said that there is a niece in her family. Because of work, she has been delayed and is still unmarried at the age of 35. She wants to introduce her to you. When are you free? So we can make an appointment to meet."
Hearing this, Gu Zhenyuan frowned and said, "See you later."
Mother Gu's face darkened. "Why, are you planning to stay single in the future?"
It has been three years since the divorce, and the son is still a child. As a mother, she still hopes that her son can find another one and have another child of his own.
A few years after her ex-daughter-in-law got married, it was discovered that she had fertility problems. Zhenyuan had been married to her for more than ten years and had no children. When it was discovered a few years ago, out of selfishness, she never mentioned it and asked her son Gu Zhenyuan to divorce and find another one.
But he refused righteously, saying that he could never have children in his life, but he would definitely divorce Luo Qi for this reason.
Three years ago, knowing what happened between the two, Zhenyuan, who had always been very good to his wife, resolutely chose to divorce, no matter how Luo Qi begged to redeem the marriage.
Because of her understanding of her son, Mother Gu knew that there must be a lot of problems between them. Of course, her son would be so decisive, but no matter how she asked, they both refused to tell her.
Gu Zhenyuan: "There's nothing good about being single."
Old Mrs. Yu said earnestly, "You still need someone by your side who understands your needs, supports you, and accompanies you until old age. Of course, when you retire, you won't even have anyone to talk to. How lonely it will be."
Gu's mother nodded in agreement and glared at her son in reproach.
"I'm busy now and have no time to think about these things. I have a lot of cases on hand." Gu Zhenyuan started to find an excuse.
"Leave it to your subordinates. You are the only one in your criminal investigation team." Gu's mother knew clearly that her son was trying to escape.
Before he divorced Luo Qi, he was not so busy. After the divorce, he was so angry that he stayed in the bureau from morning to night. It was common for him to stay away from home for a week.
"Zhenyuan is back." Grandpa Li and Gu's father came down from upstairs and rescued Gu Zhenyuan who was being urged to get married by his mother.
"Uncle Li..."
