When Jiang Ye heard about picking up the female educated youth, he didn't want to go anymore. "Uncle, go by yourself. The cow is no longer crazy. You can go by yourself."
"But, but, what if I chase it away and it goes crazy? I'm afraid it has already recognized people."
"You can try it first and see if it goes crazy."
The team leader drove the ox cart around on the road by himself, and found that the old ox did listen to his commands, so he drove the cart away by himself.
Mei Xiangcao smiled and said, "Now that Nuannuan is here, we don't have to go to the fields today. Let's make dumplings together."
"Okay, Auntie." Xu Nuannuan agreed happily.
Mei Xiangcao went to knead the dough, while Xu Nuannuan and Jiang Ye went to the vegetable garden to cut leeks.
The Jiang family has a large yard and a vegetable garden that is also larger than other families'. It grows seasonal vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and leeks.
The cucumbers on the rack had just been washed by the rain and were fresh and juicy. Xu Nuannuan picked one and took a bite. It made a crisp sound.
Jiang Ye looked up and saw the little girl eating a cucumber. Her pink cheeks were puffed up a little, like a little hamster, very cute.
They brought the chives into the house and picked off the rotten leaves.
Jiang Yang was obsessed with studying and stayed in the house reading a book without coming out. Jiang Ting went to beat eggs, and Mei Xiangcao thought of Fu Yunqi.
"Why don't you ask Xiao Fu to come along? That kid also likes the hustle and bustle."
"Okay."
No one else had any objections. To avoid disturbing Jiang Ye and Xu Nuannuan's time together, Mei Xiangcao called Jiang Ting, "Tingting, are you going?"
Jiang Ye stood up and said, "The road outside is too difficult to walk on. I'll go."
After he said that, he turned and walked out.
Xu Nuannuan was left alone to pick leeks. Mei Xiangcao said, "I'll call Jiang Yang to help." But Xu Nuannuan stopped her, "Auntie, if he wants to learn, let him learn. We don't need so many people."
Mei Xiangcao smiled. It would be hard to find such a good daughter-in-law as Xu Nuannuan even with a lantern.
She kneaded the dough and came over to pick leeks with Xu Nuannuan. After picking them, she took them out to wash them and let Xu Nuannuan rest.
Xu Nuannuan went to the kitchen again and fried eggs with Jiang Ting. After they had prepared the leek and egg filling, Jiang Ye and Fu Yunqi came.
Fu Yunqi brought a bag of snacks from Beijing. Mei Xiangcao said kindly, "Xiao Fu, you're being polite. Auntie really wants you to come and eat dumplings."
"I'm really treating you to some snacks."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Then they sat down and started making dumplings.
Mei Xiangcao is responsible for rolling the dough, Jiang Ting and Xu Nuannuan are responsible for wrapping it, and one person is just enough to serve two people.
Jiang Ting looked at the dumplings made by Xu Nuannuan and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Sister-in-law, the dumplings you make are so beautiful."
Mei Xiangcao also thought: "It's better than the ones I've been making for decades."
Xu Nuannuan had no choice. She had done so many female supporting roles and had honed her skills through the tasks.
"Haha, maybe I have a talent for making dumplings."
Jiang Ye washed his hands and sat down in front of her: "I'll make some too."
Although Jiang Ye’s dumplings are not as good as Xu Nuannuan’s, they look good too.
"Aye, you can make dumplings too, and they're pretty good."
Jiang Ye smiled and said, "Maybe I have a talent for this as well."
Seeing that others were making dumplings, Fu Yunqi joined in. Since there was no place to sit, he sat down next to Jiang Ting.
Perhaps it was his sudden approach that made Jiang Ting's face flush.
She raised her hand and touched her face. This shouldn't be the case. She was a tomboy. Men had always been her brothers and women her sisters. She would feel hot if a gay man got close to her.
Fu Yunqi didn't notice this at all. He picked up a dumpling wrapper and asked Jiang Ting, who was closest to him, for advice: "Sister Jiang Ting, please teach me how to make it."
He smiled and asked Jiang Ting, "You don't mind if I treat you as my sister, right?"
"Don't mind, don't mind. You're older than me anyway. Come, I'll teach you how to make dumplings. Just watch, and make them like this..."
Because there were too many people making dumplings, Mei Xiangcao had to speed up the process of rolling out the dough, so they finished making the dumplings in less than an hour.
It's not even ten o'clock in the morning yet, and there are still nearly two hours until lunchtime.
Jiang Ting said, "There must be a lot of fish in the river right now. Let's go catch some. We can even have a side dish for lunch."
"Good idea."
Fu Yunqi was the first to agree. He loved playing and couldn't miss such an opportunity.
Jiang Ye looked at Xu Nuannuan and asked, "Do you want to go?"
Xu Nuannuan also wanted to go play, "Let's go."
"I'll get the rod and net."
They had everything at home, so they took out the fishing and catching tools, and took two buckets, and the four of them went to the river together.
After yesterday's rain, the water level in the river rose a lot, and there were a lot more fish in the water.
They found a place where the river bends and the water is still. There is no impact of the river water here, and the fish there are easier to catch.
Jiang Ye took out a fishing rod and gave Fu Yunqi a fishing net and a bucket.
Seeing that they could be divided into two groups, Fu Yunqi said, "Jiang Ye, you and Xu Zhiqing fish over here, and Tingting and I will go over there to fish. Let's not disturb each other."
"Okay." Jiang Ye nodded.
Jiang Ting was slightly stunned, and Fu Yunqi called her: "Jiang Ting, let's go."
"Oh." Jiang Ting reacted and followed Fu Yunqi. She said to Jiang Ye and Xu Nuannuan, "Brother, sister-in-law, let's see who catches the most fish."
This actually piqued Fu Yunqi's interest. "Well, let's compete with them."
Xu Nuannuan said, "Let's compete. Come back in two hours and see who has more fish."
