Zhang Cuihua: "Let me tell you, today's meal was prepared by your sister-in-law.
If I weren’t your sister-in-law, and if it wasn’t a festival, would I be able to make dumplings for you?
If you want to thank someone, you should thank your sister-in-law.
This noodles were brought back by your sister-in-law, and the meat was also brought back by your sister-in-law. It’s useless for you to keep them for your elder brother.
If you want to stay, you have to keep your sister-in-law."
When Chen Liye heard this, his young face turned slightly red, and he scratched his ear embarrassedly.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Tian Jun knew that he had a bad reputation in the village before. Zhang Cuihua said this just to build momentum for him in front of her children so that they would know how to respect him.
After all, she really wasn't a human being before.
Tian Yujun: "The meat was sent by your eldest brother's friend. We know you haven't eaten meat for a long time, so we discussed making dumplings for you tonight to satisfy your cravings."
Chen Liye really felt that the woman in front of him was different from before.
Although he couldn't tell where she had changed, he always felt that she was as gentle as their school's language teacher.
After washing her hands, Chen Xiaolan came into the kitchen and stood next to Tian Yujun.
"Sister-in-law, let me help you too."
Tian Yujun smiled and said, "Okay."
Chen Jianguo wished he could find a camera to capture this harmonious scene.
In a trance, he secretly glanced at Tian Yujun.
To have such a good wife, there is nothing else I want in my life.
Chen Liye squeezed over and said, "I'll help too."
The dumplings were almost finished when two people suddenly came and finished wrapping them in just a few minutes.
Chen Jianguo peeled some garlic and mashed it. Tian Yujun saw some coriander in the backyard. In the winter, the leaves of coriander were red and green. They didn't look very fresh, but they smelled delicious. He said, "Go to the backyard and dig up some coriander and cut it in. I'll make the dipping sauce for you."
You know what, Chen Jianguo really wanted to try the seasoning she made, and said with a smile: "I'll go right away."
When Chen Liye heard this, he took a small shovel and said, "Sister-in-law, I can do this job. I'll go."
Chen Liye ran away, and Chen Jianguo was surprised.
When he and Tian Yujun got married, this brat didn't like her at all.
Now, he is being diligent in front of his sister-in-law.
Chen Jianguo muttered: "This brat..."
After the dumplings were wrapped, Chen Xiaolan lit a fire and boiled water.
The water in the water tank was gone, Zhang Cuihua took the pole and planned to fetch water, Chen Jianguo said: "Mom, I'll go, the road is slippery."
"Don't go. I'll go instead. It's not that far."
Tian Junyu: "Mom, just let him go, he is stronger than you."
As Tian Yujun said this, he took down a shoulder pad hanging on the wall and helped him hang it around his neck, tidying it up as well.
Chen Jianguo stared at Tian Yujun's eyes with deep affection.
Tian Yujun brushed the dust off his shoulder pads and said, "Slow down, be careful of the slippery road."
"I know."
Chen Jianguo carried a shoulder pole to the well at the entrance of the village to fetch water. After four or five trips back and forth, he filled the large water tank and then picked up two more buckets and placed them next to the tank as standby.
The water in the pot was already boiled. After the dumplings were put into the pot, Zhang Cuihua scooped out a plate of pickles.
The dumplings were not out of the pot yet when Chen Baoguo came back.
But today he looked particularly tired.
Xu Daqiang knew that Chen Jianguo had entered the city, and he was still betting in his heart that this guy would not be so mean.
You know, he has been the village party secretary for more than ten years. How can we be afraid of him not being able to succeed?
Now that he has calmed down, he shouldn't have paid back the money.
Xu Daqiang went to the quarry today and deliberately arranged more work for Chen Baoguo.
Chen Baoguo really wanted to beat him up, but thinking about what his elder brother said, he held back.
If he endures for a while, everything will be fine. His elder brother has already done this for him, so he can only endure it for now.
He didn't even have time to breathe in the quarry all day today.
I'm really tired after coming back now.
However, when he saw the dumplings his family made tonight, his fatigue was reduced by half.
The dumplings were served and Chen Liye couldn't wait any longer.
Tian Yujun was still standing by the stove fishing out dumplings. Chen Liye was so anxious that he wanted to pick up his chopsticks, but he still held back.
Chen Jianguo said: "From now on, no matter what kind of meal we have at home, if your sister-in-law is not at the table, you two little ones are not allowed to pick up your chopsticks, understand? This is called respect."
Chen Liye nodded affirmatively, and Tian Yujun couldn't help but smile when he heard it.
This guy gave the two kids a political lesson as soon as he came back.
Chen Xiaolan brought out the dumplings from the kitchen and said after hearing what he said, "Brother is right. Our teacher said that this is a new society, men and women are equal, we need to understand each other and make progress together."
Chen Liye muttered: "I'm just greedy."
Tian Yujun brought the last plate of dumplings to the table. She couldn't untie the apron around her waist, and her arms were sore after trying for a long time.
Chen Jianguo: "Let me explain it to you."
He bent over behind her and helped her take off her apron.
The family sat at the table and started eating.
Tian Yujun had eaten a lot of shrimp and fish at the restaurant at noon. She was not hungry at the moment, so she only scooped out half a bowl for herself.
Chen Jianguo: "Isn't what you got a little too little?"
"It's quite a bit. I'm not hungry right now. You guys should eat more."
She ate half a bowl of dumplings slowly, and Chen Liye lowered his head and ate voraciously, chewing twice as if swallowing the whole thing.
It’s so delicious. The dumplings are so fragrant.
Zhang Cuihua knew Chen Liye was eating when he lowered his head, so she said, "Eat slowly. I've made more than two dozen dumplings. No one will snatch them from you."
Chen Liye's cheeks were puffy like a frog.
"Mom, can we eat dumplings every now and then? Even those stuffed with cabbage and radish?"
"We'll talk about it later. You're just greedy."
Tian 㫧君 looked at him and smiled.
The family ate dumplings in harmony. Tian Yujun was still thinking that there were too many to finish, so he brought some to his parents and grandmother. In the end, they even finished the noodle soup.
Well, they have a good appetite.
Chen Xiaolan washed the dishes. Tian Yujun originally wanted to sit in her own room in the evening, but she was so tired after sitting in the car all day that she washed her feet and went into bed.
Chen Jianguo came in and patted his stomach. He also ate too much in the evening.
When he was in the army, his wife would prepare delicious food for him every day after get off work, and he was very picky.
Looking back at his younger brother and sister's reactions when they ate dumplings, he is now more satisfied with his life.
Chen Jianguo: "You should go to bed early. I will take Baoguo and Liye to the fields to catch rabbits in the evening."
Tian Yujun: "Can you catch it?"
"Yes, this thing is rampant, multiplying quickly, and is all over the mountain.
When catching it, just shine a flashlight on it and it will follow the light, making it easy to catch."
"Then you guys go early and come back early. I'm going to go to my mother's place."
She originally wanted to go there tomorrow, but Chen Jianguo was going up the mountain at night, and she felt there was no point in staying alone.
Chen Jianguo got nervous when he heard this: "If you go there now, are you going to stay there tonight?
I don’t want you to live there.”
Two people are used to sleeping in one bed, but one person is not used to it.
"I'll be back after dark."
"Then I'll ask Xiaolan to keep you company."
