"Xinyue, look at the dumplings you made. They have no shape at all." Zheng Xinwei looked at the dumplings she had made with great effort and laughed, "Look at how beautiful Xinyi's dumplings are."
Zheng Xinyue pouted and casually wiped the flour on her hand on his face, saying angrily, "Let you laugh at me."
"Okay! Stop making trouble, both of you." Zheng Shaochun said, holding his pipe.
"Let me tell you, it's so hard for us to have dumplings at home. You guys better hold on to them. Don't let them get sunken when you put them in the pot. I'll be mad if I do." Cuihua, wearing an apron, poked her head out of the kitchen and warned. Then she waved to Zheng Shaochun, who was smoking nearby, "Come and help me boil some water."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Shaochun put down his pipe and swiftly went into the kitchen. Before entering the kitchen, he warned the three children: "Make dumplings well."
Zheng Xinyue curled her lips at Zheng Xinwei, then rolled her eyes at her and quietly approached Zheng Xinyi: "Sister, teach me how to make dumplings."
"Okay, look at how you pinch it with your hands, pinch it tighter." Zheng Xinyi began to teach Zheng Xinyue how to make dumplings, while Cuihua and Zheng Shaochun were busy in the kitchen.
"Son, it's dark outside, go light the lantern quickly." Zheng Shaochun called from the kitchen.
"Sister, the dumplings are almost done. Let's go light the lanterns together with brother." Zheng Xinyue gently pushed Xinyi and said.
Then they followed Zheng Xinwei's steps and pushed the door open. The red lanterns in every household were already lit, which was particularly festive. Although Zheng Xinyi had seen too many dazzling neon lights in her previous life, the scene at this time was really different. This kind of joy from the heart and the strong New Year atmosphere were something Zheng Xinyi had never felt in her previous life.
"Sister, isn't it beautiful?" Zheng Xinyue said, pointing to the red lanterns lit up in every household.
"Yeah! Beautiful." Zheng Xinyi nodded slightly, speaking from the bottom of her heart.
"Okay, it's so cold, let's go inside and see if our parents need any help." Zheng Xinwei said, rubbing his hands.
Zheng Xinyue's face had turned red from the cold, but she was still reluctant to leave the beautiful scenery in front of her, and pouted at Xinwei.
"Okay, listen to big brother and go in quickly!" Zheng Xinyi said, covering her cold face with her hands.
The three of them were chatting and laughing when they turned around and heard a voice calling from the courtyard gate: "Sister Xinyi."
Zheng Xinyi turned around subconsciously and saw Cheng Haoting holding a paper bag and waving at her.
"Haoting? Why are you here in such a cold day?" Zheng Xinyi hurriedly went to open the door.
"This is the pork and snacks my brother brought back from the army. My mother asked me to bring some to you." Cheng Haoting stuffed the things in her hand into Zheng Xinyi's hands, then turned around and left: "Sister Xinyi, the things have been delivered, I'll leave first."
"Come into the house and warm up?" Zheng Xinyi called out to her from behind.
"No, I have to go back and help my mother make dumplings!" Cheng Haoting turned around and waved at her.
"Sister, Brother Haoyu really cares about you!" Zheng Xinyue looked at the things in her hand with a smile.
Zheng Xinyi rolled her eyes at her, then brought the things into the house, placed them on the table in the lobby, and said to Zheng Shaochun and Cuihua who were still busy in the kitchen, "Dad, Mom, this is what Cheng Haoting just sent over."
Cuihua trotted over, opened the paper bag, and took a look. Seeing that the pork was at least two pounds, she sighed from the bottom of her heart, "Wow! The Cheng family is really generous, sending all this pork and snacks."
