"Don't mind, don't mind. I warmly welcome you!"
Yun Qiao is polite and never comes home without doing anything.
She'd only eaten two meals at home before she'd been sent half a pound of pastries. A few days ago, she'd borrowed a pot and given her half a block of incredibly expensive chilblain cream. Even when she'd been invited over, she'd still been stuffing her pockets with candy, ready to feed the two little ones at home.
She couldn't wait to welcome such a sensible and considerate girl, so how could she possibly dislike her!
Unlike some of Lian Yi's sisters-in-law, who would eat her sunflower seeds as soon as they came home, and wouldn't even bother to sweep up the sunflower seed shells when they spit them all over the floor. They had no eyesight at all.
In the entire Fifth Company, she only likes Sister Jiang Ling and Sister Yun Qiao!
"Whom do you cordially welcome?"
As he was speaking, Captain Yang came in carrying Qin Zhenzhen.
Qin Zhenzhen was sitting on Captain Yang's neck, and when she entered the room, her forehead was hit by the door frame above her head, with a loud "bang".
Qin Zhenzhen was hit by the door and started crying loudly. Captain Yang frantically wiped her tears and comforted her, "Oh, Zhenzhen, I'm sorry, Daddy forgot you were still on his head and didn't remember to bend down to enter the door. Tell Daddy, where did you get hit? Does it hurt?"
Qin Zhenzhen's little face was covered with tears. She covered her forehead and said, "It hurts, it hurts so much."
Qin Guifen reached out and patted Captain Yang on the head, complaining: "Look at you, what can you do?"
Then he coaxed Qin Zhenzhen in a soft voice: "Zhenzhen, don't cry. You can eat dumplings soon."
Yun Qiao took out a piece of candy from her pocket and waved to Zhenzhen, "Come here, Zhenzhen. Auntie will give you some candy. Don't cry anymore."
Qin Zhenzhen finally stopped crying, took a few steps forward, and leaned into Yun Qiao's arms: "Thank you, Auntie."
Yun Qiao peeled off the candy wrapper of the water candy and fed the candy into Qin Zhenzhen's mouth. He didn't throw away the candy wrapper, but gave it to her directly and let her play with it.
She knew that children liked to collect these colorful candy wrappers.
Only then did Captain Yang notice that there was Ye Yunqiao sitting in the kitchen. Just now, most of her body was blocked by the stove, so he couldn't see her figure at first.
"Comrade Ye is here."
Yun Qiao nodded and greeted him with a smile: "Good evening, Captain."
When Captain Yang was at home, he was not as fierce as he usually was when facing the educated youth. His tough features softened, and under the dim light he even looked a bit kind and gentle.
He smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law wanted to invite you home for lunch, but she went to the educated youth compound twice and couldn't find you. Later, someone else told her that you were at the headquarters and not at the company, so she gave up. These dumplings were originally prepared for lunch, but she kept them for the evening just for you."
Yun Qiao was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes: "Good sister-in-law! You are so kind!"
"If you treat me well, I will treat you well too!"
After Qin Guifen added a final splash of water and waited for it to boil, she began to scoop out the dumplings with a strainer: "Alright, the dumplings are ready, it's time to eat!"
Qin Guifen scooped a full bowl of dumplings for Yun Qiao, without any soup at all. It was so full that it was about to overflow. Even so, she wanted to put a few more in.
Yun Qiao had no choice but to keep saying, "Sister-in-law, that's enough, don't serve more, or we won't be able to finish it."
"Then you eat this bowl first. If it's not enough, sister-in-law will make more. We made a lot of dumplings today, and there's still a basket of dumplings left to put into the pot."
"That's enough, this bowl is enough for me."
Yun Qiao picked up a dumpling and bit it in the middle, revealing the green filling with yellow egg crumbs. If you taste it carefully, you can taste a slightly fishy flavor. Looking closer, it turned out to be chopped shrimp skin.
Dumplings stuffed with chives and eggs are topped with dried shrimps.
"tasty!"
"If it tastes good, eat more." Qin Guifen looked at Yun Qiao with a smile, her eyes kind as if she was looking at her little sister at home.
After dinner, Qin Guifen offered to take Yun Qiao home.
Yun Qiao declined: "No, I know the way, I can go back by myself."
"It's dark outside and there's mud under your feet. Let me hold the lamp and walk you there." Qin Guifen said, pulling her arm and winking at her.
