Jiang Miao answered honestly: "Grandma and aunt are making dumplings!"
"What kind of filling?"
"Pork and cabbage, and pork and white radish."
When Wang Sha heard that the buns were stuffed with meat, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva: "Is there a lot of meat filling?"
Jiang Miao nodded seriously: "A lot. I saw that white enamel bowl was full of meat filling."
Wang Sha recalled that there was indeed a white enamel bowl in the kitchen. The enamel bowl was not big but not small either. If it was filled with stuffing, it would probably weigh about one kilogram.
"Is this all for my aunt to eat?"
"No. I heard from my great aunt that we should let grandma eat with us!"
"Did you tell me to eat it?"
...
...
Jiang Miao shook his head: "No."
When Wang Sha heard that she was not allowed to eat, she was very angry.
Now Ye Li and her mother-in-law are getting closer and closer, and even her brother-in-law has been won over, except for her and Jiang Rui who were kicked out.
Why?
Jiang Rui is at work during the day, and she is so bored staying at home alone that she is about to grow hair.
Although her mother-in-law Zhao Xingmei left some food for her every day, the food was obviously much worse than before. Whenever she mentioned it, her mother-in-law said that the money had been almost spent, and a large part of it was spent when her mother was still alive.
Listen, what are you talking about?
This is clearly blaming her and her mother?
Wang Sha felt that she couldn't handle the current situation on her own, so she thought about getting her mother over, but who would have thought that something happened to her father.
I don’t know what happened, but the old widow from the neighboring house, relying on her good looks, went to her doorstep every day to call her father out for help.
Seeing that her father was getting closer and closer to that woman, her mother was afraid that her father would have second thoughts, so she said she would not come no matter what and would just stay at home to watch over her father.
Well, now she is truly alone.
In the past, Jiang Miao could be left there to be raised, but now, her mother-in-law has taken the initiative to retire and is taking care of the children at home, so Jiang Miao doesn't have to go there anymore.
The person is not going there anymore, but he still has to pay the five dollars a month.
The more Wang Sha thought about it, the more suffocated she felt.
This is strange. The old widow from the neighbor's house has never had any feelings for her for all these years. Why is it that she seems to be hanging outside her house every day recently?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She always felt that Ye Li was behind this.
But she has no evidence, so she can't just say anything.
In the kitchen, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cooperated very well, one kneaded the dough and rolled the skin, while the other made dumplings.
The buns are beautifully wrapped, round and with eighteen folds. When they are steamed in the pot, they rise up as if they were blown up.
After the buns were out of the pot, Ye Li opened the cupboard and took out the thermos bucket inside: "Mom, I'll pack a few buns and send them to Jiang Xun first. The food he brought this morning was the leftovers from last night. There wasn't much left, and the taste wasn't good enough. These freshly-made buns are still delicious!"
Zhao Xingmei smiled and said, "You are always thinking about Jiang Xun in your heart."
"Of course. Jiang Xun is my man!"
"I see that you two have a good relationship. Mom is happy for you! You have been married for about half a year, right? Is there any movement in your belly?" Zhao Xingmei glanced at Ye Li's flat belly.
Ye Li blushed: "No...no."
"Why haven't you made any progress yet?" Zhao Xingmei was a little impatient. "Are you too busy every day and don't have time to be intimate? Mom is an experienced person, so I have to give you some advice. Jiang Xun is not young anymore, and people of similar age to him are already fathers. You have to work hard. Mom didn't have time to take care of your children before, but now you see, I'm retired. While I'm still young, hurry up and give birth to a child and I'll take care of it for you!"
"I understand, Mom." Ye Li didn't want to explain too much to her mother-in-law.
She and Jiang Xun agreed not to have children for the time being, and wanted to wait until Jiang Xun's work became more stable and the things she wanted to do had reached a higher level.
Having a child at this moment might not affect Jiang Xun, but it would definitely make her progress slow down.
Right now, she and Jiang Xun still have to pay off their famine debt, so they have to earn money to pay it back.
Soon, the spring breeze of reform will blow over, and those who take action first will definitely be able to stand at the forefront of the trend and ride the wind.
"Don't just know it, you have to work hard! How can you not work hard? Remind Jiang Xun that there is no end to the work, so don't work overtime all the time. Come back early, and you two should work hard and have a baby as soon as possible. This is the most important thing." Zhao Xingmei was afraid that Ye Li would not take her words to heart, so she emphasized it again with a stronger tone.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you will! We will work hard, for sure!"
Seeing Ye Li's sincere expression, Zhao Xingmei finally started to smile: "That's good. Come on, pack a few more buns for Jiang Xun! These six small buns are not enough. Pack twelve."
Ye Li waved his hands quickly: "Mom, he doesn't need to spend any energy, just two more will be enough, you can eat the rest!"
"You only consider him, not yourself? You rush to send him buns, and then you watch him eat them. Won't you eat them?"
Ye Li smiled: "It won't be too late to eat when I come back."
"How can that be? Be obedient and install them all."
"Okay." Ye Li was ready to go out with the lunch box. She thought for a moment and turned back. "Mom, pack one more portion. I'm going to send some to Nie Fan. Nie Fan was a big help in sending Yuan Yueqin to prison this time."
Zhao Xingmei had met Nie Fan once before. Last time, he was sent back to Ye Li by him.
Hearing that he had a very good relationship with Ye Li when he was a child and that he was very protective of Ye Li, Zhao Xingmei had a good impression of this child: "Okay, I have to thank him for this. Invite him to your home for a meal later."
"Let's talk about it when he has time."
After packing the buns, Ye Li wrapped a thick scarf around her neck, put on gloves and went out.
These two cabbages, three white radishes and a pound of minced meat sound like a lot, but after squeezing out the water from the vegetables, there isn't much left. The buns are small, so you can steam ten in one tray, and two trays are produced from one pot.
Zhao Xingmei steamed three pots in total, with almost sixty buns.
After Ye Li left, Zhao Xingmei called her family to eat.
Wang Sha stayed in the house and did not go out. Zhao Xingmei asked Jiang Xi to bring six small buns to her. Jiang Rui was not at home today, so six buns were enough for her to eat.
Eating the delicious buns, Wang Sha felt unprecedented satisfaction, and once again felt in her heart that people are different.
They both make money, but Jiang Rui earns much less than Jiang Xun.
Ye Li really met a good man.
She really got a good deal. If Jiang Rui's brother hadn't been paralyzed and unable to move, how could she, Ye Li, have gotten the chance to be with a man of such conditions?
What a lucky guy!
Ye Li sneezed twice in succession while sitting on the bus. She thought silently in her heart: I wonder which bastard is cursing her behind her back.
After getting off the car, she went to find Jiang Xun carrying the buns.
At that time, Jiang Xun had just returned from the workshop and found that the fire in the office was out. No one was taking care of the fire on weekends when no one was working. He had no time to light the fire. His stomach was already rumbling, so he decided to eat first.
He opened his lunch box and prepared to add some hot water to the dish and eat a bite. While pouring the water, he heard someone knocking on the door. Without turning his head, he said:
"Come in."
Ye Li placed the thermos bucket in front of him and said, "Mr. Jiang, it's not good to eat leftovers after working so hard for so long! Come and see what delicious food I made for you."
Jiang Xun looked at Ye Li, whose hair was covered in snow and whose face was red from the cold, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes: "It's snowing so heavily, why are you here again? Are your feet so good? Are you running around all over the world now!"
There was a hint of blame in his words, which made Ye Li feel sweet inside: "It's very good, very good! Don't talk about this, take a look at the lunch box, do you like it?"
Jiang Xun unscrewed the thermos and saw the steamed buns inside. He took one out and took a bite. "Delicious, really delicious!"
The fresh fragrance of cabbage and the flavor of pork are perfectly blended together. It is very fragrant but not greasy. Only Ye Li can make such delicious buns.
"As long as it tastes good, my work this morning wasn't in vain." Ye Li smiled and raised his hand to untie the scarf on his head.
Jiang Xun noticed her red hands from the cold and asked, "It's so cold, why don't you wear gloves?"
Ye Li said, "I forgot about it because I was in such a hurry to get out."
Jiang Xun was so distressed that he didn't even bother to eat the buns. He just gathered Ye Li's hands and held them tightly.
He hadn't eaten anything all morning, so his hands were not very hot, and he couldn't warm Ye Li's hands for a long time.
He simply let go of Ye Li's hand, lowered his head and unbuttoned his clothes one by one, and said to Ye Li: "Come on, put your hand in."
