"Mom, please try this beef and see if it's delicious." Liu Shuning blanched a piece of beef for Mother Lu before putting it in her bowl.
"It's delicious. The dipping sauce you prepared is also delicious. You guys can eat it yourselves. I'll just pick it up myself." After finishing the beef, Mother Lu also picked up a chicken wing for Chunxiao.
The twins standing by were also gnawing on chicken legs. The chicken legs were cooked till soft, but the twins could chew them.
Liu Shuning hadn’t eaten hotpot for a long time, so he felt like having an appetite.
"Wife, this mutton is delicious." Lu Fengnian especially likes to eat mutton. After being specially marinated, the mutton has no fishy smell at all.
"If it tastes good, eat more. I'll make you some mutton soup in a couple of days to nourish your body." Liu Shuning doesn't like mutton very much. She finds it tasteless even if it's cooked deliciously.
"You eat too, wife. Don't be picky in front of the children." Lu Fengnian deliberately picked up a piece of mutton for Liu Shuning. Mutton was so delicious, but his wife didn't like it.
"Don't serve it to me, I really don't like it. There's chicken and beef in the pot, I'll just eat something else." There were so many dishes in the pot that they couldn't finish them even if they were full.
"Shuning, let's ignore him. This chicken wing is for you to eat." After saying this, Lu's mother glared at Lu Fengnian.
"Thank you, mom. You are still good to me."
......
After finishing the New Year's Eve dinner, Lu's mother and Liu Shuning started kneading dough and rolling out dumpling wrappers. There were too many dumplings to make that night, so they had to wrap the dumplings first and cook them in the evening.
After Lu Fengnian coaxed the twins to sleep, he came over to help roll out the dumpling skins. He was strong and could roll the dumpling skins much faster than Lu's mother.
"Chunxiao, go back to your room and play. I don't need your help here." Liu Shuning snatched the dumpling skin from Chunxiao's hand and stopped her from playing with it. After a while, she wasn't paying attention and her face was covered with flour.
"Aunt San, I'm not going back. I want to help make dumplings." Chunxiao shook her head. She hadn't played enough and wanted to continue playing.
"Silly girl, are you making dumplings? You are just playing with flour." Mother Lu quickly pulled Chunxiao away. Flour was for her to eat, not to play with.
Seeing that her grandma was angry, Chunxiao didn't dare to play anymore.
"Chunxiao, do you miss your parents during the New Year?" Seeing Chunxiao was angry, Lu Fengnian pinched her face deliberately.
"No, I just miss my brother." Chunxiao has become accustomed to not seeing her parents for a long time. When she was at home, she often didn't see her parents for several months when they were busy.
"When the weather warms up, I'll take you back. I don't know how the old man is doing at home. Your brother is also a fool. He is busy with work all day and has no time to take care of the family."
It was the first time that Mother Lu had left Lu Xu for such a long time. She didn't know how he was doing and whether he had taken good care of himself.
"Mom, I will go back with you when the time comes. We will stay for a few months before coming back." Liu Shuning is a playful person. She feels bored staying in the staff quarters for a long time.
"Okay, we'll stay here until after the autumn harvest and come back." Mother Lu was even happier to hear that she could stay at home for a few more months.
The delicacies from the outside are not as good as the simple meals at home.
"Wife, you're going back with mother, what should I do then?" Now it was Lu Fengnian's turn to be unhappy. His wife took the children and went back to her hometown with mother, so he would be the only one left at home.
"Long Bang, you're a grown man, and you still want me to take care of you!" Liu Shuning glanced at Lu Fengnian.
"Don't you go on missions often? You may not even be in the army at that time." Mother Lu couldn't stand it anymore. How could her silly son learn to act pitiful?
"Then you can wait until I go out on a mission and come back. You can take my wife back and leave me here alone." Lu Fengnian couldn't help but stay away from his mother. If his mother got angry, she would hit him.
"Okay, let's make dumplings quickly! We won't be able to finish them before bedtime."
