Song Shishi kneaded the dough cut into small squares into the shape of glutinous rice balls, put them on a plate, and turned into the kitchen.
Xu Li and the others are still making the remaining dumplings.
Song Shishi slowly poured cold water into the pot, waited for the water to boil, and then put the dumplings into the pot one by one.
The white dumplings sank to the bottom of the pot.
When the water boils, add brown sugar and a small spoonful of white sugar.
Children don’t like things that are too sweet, so Song Shishi didn’t add much sugar.
After the dumplings are cooked until they are lifted up, you can turn the heat to low to make them more flavorful.
Generally, glutinous rice balls cannot be cooked for too long, otherwise the skin will easily break and become unpalatable.
However, there is no core in the brown sugar glutinous rice balls, so you don’t have to worry about that.
...
...
The brown sugar dumplings are ready and the sweet potatoes are steamed.
"Lili, the brown sugar dumplings are ready. Take them out and you guys can eat first."
Putting the brown sugar dumplings into the soup bowl, Song Shishi shouted towards the living room.
While Xu Li was taking out the brown sugar dumplings, Song Shishi took the sweet potatoes out of the steamer and tore off the outer layer of skin.
Then use a spoon to mash the sweet potatoes.
“It smells so good!”
At this time, Li Haoyang's exclamation was heard from the living room outside.
"Grandma will serve you a bowl first, but it's still a little hot, so let it cool down before eating."
"Got it, mother-in-law."
When Song Shishi brought out the mashed sweet potatoes, Li Haoyang was beside Zheng Peilan, saying "thank you" in a baby voice.
Xu Li just went out to bring the clothes that were drying in the yard into the house, "Aunt Zheng, sister, Uncle Song is back."
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Zhenhua walked in.
Seeing them all gathered around the dining table, I walked over curiously, "What are you doing?"
Zheng Peilan took Li Haoyang's hand and turned around to explain: "Shishi said that today is the Lantern Festival, so she came back specially to eat tangyuan with us. Shishi just made a pot of brown sugar. Do you want to eat it? I'll serve you a bowl."
During this time, Song Zhenhua gradually got used to the fact that Song Shishi could cook, but he was still a little surprised when he found out that she could make dumplings.
He raised an eyebrow, "I didn't expect my girl to be so capable now?"
"My pretty aunt is the best."
Li Haoyang took a bite of the glutinous rice dumpling that Zheng Peilan had blown to cool it down for him, raised his right hand high, and replied loudly.
Although there was a smile in Song Zhenhua's eyes, his face still looked serious.
Seeing that Li Haoyang was still talking with food in his mouth, he taught him a lesson in a cold voice: "Don't talk while eating."
Li Haoyang had never seen anyone with such a fierce face as Song Zhenhua. The corners of his mouth immediately began to droop, and he looked aggrieved and about to cry.
Song Shishi couldn't bear to watch this, so she said, "Dad, he's still young. If you want to teach him, just say it nicely. Being so fierce will scare him."
Although his tone was soft, his words were full of blame for Song Zhenhua.
Song Zhenhua frowned in dissatisfaction, "You are a man, why are you crying over such a small matter? You did something wrong, but you can't say anything?"
His over-the-top attitude made Zheng Peilan a little unhappy.
Zheng Peilan squatted down, took Li Haoyang into her arms, and whispered in his ear to comfort him: "Xiaobao, grandpa is not mean to you. He usually talks to aunt like this. Grandpa is just worried that Xiaobao will choke on the food when he eats and talks. Don't be sad, grandma loves you."
Song Shishi knew Song Zhenhua's temper very well. At this time, Song Zhenhua was just trying to save face.
If Song Shishi said one more thing in response at this time, Song Zhenhua might even go up and beat Li Haoyang.
She brought Li Haoyang back to live with her because she wanted him to live more comfortably and eat better.
If Li Haoyang was beaten by her father on the first day she arrived, how would she have the face to see Su Yaqin and her brother-in-law in the future?
Song Shishi and Zheng Peilan ignored Song Zhenhua, and Song Zhenhua stopped losing his temper.
But he only took two bites of the bowl of glutinous rice balls and stopped moving. He then got up and went to the study.
Song Shishi glanced at the tightly closed study door, then skillfully poured glutinous rice flour into mashed sweet potatoes, added hot water, and kneaded it into dough.
Xu Li went to pack her clothes, so Song Shishi had to do it herself this time.
Knead the dough and roll it into long strips.
Different from the brown sugar glutinous rice balls, she cut the dough into small pieces, flattened it into skins, and then wrapped it with a little sweet potato mash that she had deliberately left over as filling.
Close the mouth and then roll it into a glutinous rice ball shape with your hands.
The sweet potato dumplings are ready.
When putting the sweet potato dumplings in the pot, boil cold water and put them into the pot.
Looking at the sweet potato dumplings made by Song Shishi, Li Haoyang started to act coquettishly with Zheng Peilan and clamored to eat sweet potatoes.
"Okay, okay, grandma will make you some sweet potato dumplings, okay?"
"Yeah...Mother-in-law is the best and most beautiful, just as beautiful as my aunt."
Li Haoyang's little mouth is as sweet as honey. He tells Zheng Peilan whatever sounds nice.
In just a short while, he made Zheng Peilan very happy.
After Zheng Peilan cooked the dumplings and served them on the table, Song Shishi and Xu Li also cleaned up the things on the table.
Xu Li didn't know what had just happened. Seeing that Song Zhenhua didn't come out to eat glutinous rice balls with her, she stood up and said, "I'll go to the study and ask my uncle to come and eat glutinous rice balls."
Just as Xu Li took a step forward, Song Shishi grabbed her.
Without waiting for Song Shishi to speak, Zheng Peilan waved to Xu Li, motioning her to sit down, "No need to call him, after you leave in a while, it's just right for him to eat with me."
Zheng Peilan is now feeding Li Haoyang dumplings, she herself has not eaten yet.
Originally, Li Haoyang wanted to eat it by himself, but Zheng Peilan was afraid that the dumplings would burn him, so she insisted on feeding him.
Li Haoyang seemed to enjoy Zheng Peilan's care as well, and was shaking his head with joy.
…
When Song Shishi brought Xu Li and Li Haoyang to the hospital, Uncle Zuo and Su Yaqin saw them coming and put away the drawings.
"Uncle Zuo, if I didn't see it wrong just now, were you instructing Sister Qin to draw the design draft?"
As she spoke, she handed over the rice dumplings that were meant for Uncle Zuo.
Uncle Zuo's eyes have never left the lunch box since Song Shishi and the others came in.
But he replied: "Just teaching casually."
Su Yaqin took the lunch box from Li Haoyang and kissed him on the face. "Thank you, Xiaobao. Are you going to your aunt's house? Be good or not?"
"Good boy." Li Haoyang nodded heavily, as if he was afraid that Su Yaqin would not believe him. "Grandma is very kind to Xiaobao. She even feeds Xiaobao glutinous rice balls."
Li Chengde came down from the sickbed and smiled to help Song Shishi solve her doubts: "The old man is very knowledgeable. After you left, he taught Yaqin for an entire afternoon. It was very hard work."
After saying that, Li Chengde handed the drawing that Su Yaqin had just drawn to Song Shishi.
Although Xu Li didn't understand, she still went over curiously.
Song Shishi was so excited looking at the drawings drawn by Su Yaqin that she didn't know what to say. She could only keep giving thumbs up to Su Yaqin and Uncle Zuo.
"Sister, I think this version is good. Let's hurry up and ask the workers in the factory to make a sample garment according to the drawing."
Su Yaqin was surprised and asked, "Are you in such a hurry? I'm still thinking about making some changes. Even if the sample is made, where is the buyer? Have you found one so quickly?"
