They didn't even blink, sparing no effort to smear him.
"Yeah, he can't do anything, he's so stupid."
The little girl blinked, as if she wanted to say something, but Jian Dan fed her another dumpling, and then she forgot what she wanted to say.
After finishing the dumplings and drinking a bowl of dumpling soup, the two sisters continued making dumplings, filling the remaining half-basin with sauerkraut and pork filling and other meat fillings.
Of course, the main technique was still simple, but the young girl was also in high spirits, and her technique became more and more skilled, and her speed became faster and faster, and there were not so many strange shapes anymore.
She simply set up separate covered trays for each item, and once they were full, she took them out to freeze. When she saw that all the items were wrapped, the results were indeed quite impressive.
This time, the praise was much more heartfelt.
"My Xinxin is amazing! She made so many dumplings on her first try. She's much better than me!"
Let's see who's lucky enough to be the first to get a taste!
Whether Sheng Zhiyuan will be able to eat these dumplings is still uncertain; the chances are slim.
Jian Wenxiu couldn't get any food for a while. He said he was going back to investigate, and after he left, he really didn't see him for more than half a month.
Cheng Chao is definitely the luckiest one. He just finished his mission and came out thinking of checking things out. He happened to come across some children's toys while doing the mission, so he bought them all.
Cheng Jin looked at his cheerful nephew and felt a bit of a headache. He was fine when doing tasks, but as soon as he had free time, he became completely unruly.
"Where are you going again?"
Cheng Chao held up the toy in his hand.
"Go see the child, Uncle Jian's niece, don't you know her?"
Cheng Jin knew him inside and out.
"Hmph, you're eyeing their food again, aren't you?"
Cheng Chao immediately switched to a grinning, carefree mode.
"Oh, Uncle, you just need to know it in your heart."
"I've been gone for so long, and look at my belly! I've gotten so thin! Don't you feel sorry for me?"
Let's see what Cheng Jin is about to say.
"Don't worry, I won't make any mistakes. I have all the money and paper money here. I won't take a single needle or thread from the people."
Cheng Jin was caught in a dilemma, when suddenly a thought surged into his mind, and he looked at Cheng Chao in horror.
"You, you, you, you wouldn't be thinking of making a move on that young girl, would you?"
"You better give up on that idea. Let me tell you, you're not good enough for that guy's skill at killing wild boars, you understand?"
Cheng Chao nearly choked on his anger, and his fist immediately lost its grip, delivering a hard punch to his uncle's shoulder.
"Ouch, my old arms and legs can't take this kind of beating."
"What nonsense are you talking about? She's only sixteen. Am I that much of a beast?"
Besides, look at me, look, look at my eyes, how innocent they are! How could you think such a dirty mind?
Cheng Jin was completely disoriented by his movements.
"Alright, alright, stop shaking me, or you'll shake my body apart!"
Cheng Chao snorted softly, leaning against one side, his gaze slightly lost as he looked at the distant trees.
"Uncle, didn't you notice that Jian Dan gives off a particularly warm and friendly vibe? I noticed it the first time we met. Being with her, or rather, being around her, feels like being at home."
I felt an unconscious urge to get close; there was no sense of repulsion or discomfort, just like being at home—a very relaxing feeling.
This wasn't the first time I'd heard him say this. The first time I'd stumbled into someone's backyard, I came back and started craving their millet porridge. Everyone in the garrison knew that a single millet porridge had caused quite a stir in the mess hall.
Cheng Jin also had some doubts.
"That's...good?"
"Uncle, how many years has it been since our family got together?"
A few years ago, there were only the three of us left in the family.
My second uncle lives in the far northwest, which is almost as far as a hundred thousand miles away. He's very busy and can't come back at all.
In the last two years, he's started a family and become a father. He's a bit better off than us; at least he's not alone during holidays.
The two of us are together, and people think it's a good match.
Look at this, what's the difference? We're both living in dorms and eating in the cafeteria, it doesn't feel like home at all! Two lonely souls, all alone, oh dear!
Hearing this, Cheng Jin also felt a strange sense of desolation.
"Do you really think that Simple is that good?"
Whether it's good or bad depends on the individual. Others might think it's just a small rural house where it's hard to even turn around.
I just like that feeling; it's very peaceful.
Especially after returning from a mission, I really want to go there. Almost as soon as I get there, all the anger I feel dissipates immediately.
Seriously, Uncle, you really have to believe me. Look how quickly I've recovered since I came back these past few times.
I can't explain why I feel this way, but as soon as I get there, I feel very comfortable and relaxed all over.
real.
Uncle, don't make wild guesses and try to match us up. We don't mean any of that.
Cheng Jin seemed to be deep in thought, then suddenly rebuked him.
"Then why do you keep going over there? You don't mean anything by it, aren't you afraid of causing her trouble? What will you say if someone sees you?"
With things so chaotic outside, even legitimate couples have to be careful, let alone those who aren't a couple.
You think it's no big deal, but do you think others will see it that way too?
What if people accuse them of having a moral failing? Would that sound good? How many people have been ruined because of this kind of thing, their reputation?
What situation doesn't involve the woman suffering?
"If rumors and gossip spread, and you, a grown man, aren't afraid of anything, wouldn't that be unfair to others? What if something bad happens?"
I'm not afraid of anything else. After all, Cheng Chao has been on many missions and is skilled, cautious, and vigilant. What I'm afraid of is that once he gets there, he might really relax and someone might take advantage of him.
When the time comes, they'll just throw a label on you without any regard for the consequences. Given the current chaos, there are plenty of people trying to take advantage of the situation.
One should always be wary of others.
Having achieved what he has, Cheng Chao is certainly not stupid. He straightened up and patted Cheng Jin on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
The two of them went together before, openly and honestly, and both were dressed appropriately. No one could say anything about it. After all, the common people both respected and feared these clothes, and trusted them completely.
He was alone this time, and he hadn't planned to take the risk anyway.
Jian Dan's house is at the foot of the mountain, and there are no other houses nearby. At this time of year, very few people go up the mountain. If he is careful, climbing over the back wall is a piece of cake for him.
The two of them spent the whole day making frozen dumplings, and their arms were sore the next day, so they decided to take a break.
There's also a small stove in the corner of the west room, where we bake snacks for the kids when we have nothing else to do.
A few chestnuts and a few small potatoes were placed on the stove lid, and a small iron basin was placed on top of them.
The stove lid is quite large, and there's still room around the small basin.
He simply went back to his old ways and made potato slices.
The freshly sliced potatoes, still coated in starch, were placed on the stove lid with a loud "sizzle," and the little girl exclaimed in surprise.
"Wow!"
