Time flies, and not long after the beginning of spring, it is already the fifth day of the fifth month in the lunar calendar.

The fifth day of May is the Dragon Boat Festival, a day when every household eats rice dumplings.

Mrs. Gao also planned to make rice dumplings today. Before making them, she went to Chen's house to ask Miss Yang what kind of rice dumplings she planned to make.

The main reason is that Yang is very clever. Look at the glutinous rice balls she made last time. She added some sesame seeds to make them extra fragrant. Her husband and children loved them.

At the gate of Chen's courtyard, Shuying replied: "Sister-in-law, I plan to make salted egg yolk and pork dumplings!"

As soon as Mrs. Gao heard about the rice dumplings with meat, she immediately backed off. She waited until Miss Yang mentioned the red bean and peanut rice dumplings. She became interested in the red bean rice dumplings and asked Miss Yang how to make them.

The tree shadow said that all you need to do when making rice dumplings is add some red beans, it is very simple.

Mrs. Gao went back with a happy look on her face.

She made some red bean rice dumplings and rice dumplings with nothing in them. After making them, she first sent three red bean rice dumplings to Yang Meizi's family, and then peeled some for the three brothers to eat.

Compared to rice dumplings without anything in them, the three brothers prefer red bean and meat rice dumplings, which are so delicious even without dipping them in sugar.

After lunch, we ate a lot of red bean rice dumplings and found them to be much more delicious than the rice dumplings we had before without any other ingredients.

However, in the evening, Shuying's family sent back three salted egg yolk and meat dumplings for the Gao family. Gao Tuan and Gao's wife shared one, the eldest and the second oldest shared one, and the third oldest, who was the youngest, ate one alone.

The soft and glutinous cooked rice has the crunchy taste of salty egg yolk, the salty and fragrant meat, and the freshness of mushrooms. It is especially delicious and fragrant. Gao Tuan and his wife couldn't stop eating it. It was extremely amazing, not to mention the three children.

"Wow, mom, the rice dumplings at Aunt Yang's are so delicious!" Gao Zhixian couldn't help but shouting.

"Brother, how can rice dumplings not be delicious? But Aunt Yang's rice dumplings are really so good!" The second brother Gao Xiang also agreed.

The two brothers wolfed down the egg yolk rice dumpling they shared. When they saw the third brother taking a rice dumpling and chewing it yet, the two brothers became jealous.

If Mrs. Gao and her husband hadn't been there, both brothers would have wanted to snatch it away.

Gao Yuan ate with great relish, especially when he saw his elder brother and second brother looking at him with drooling mouths. Gao Yuan ate slowly on purpose, wanting to sate his elder and second brothers to death. Gao Zhigao was so angry that he wanted to smash the third brother's head.

Gao Tuan and his wife were still very satisfied after finishing a salted egg yolk rice dumpling. Gao Tuan also praised: "The rice dumplings at my sister-in-law's house are so delicious!" He had eaten other rice dumplings before, but they were not as delicious as those at his sister-in-law's house. Gao Tuan kept saying that his sister-in-law's cooking skills were good.

Mrs. Gao thought to herself, how can a meat dumpling not be delicious? They even added salted egg yolks and mushrooms. Miss Yang is really good at imagining and eating. How come it tastes so good?

Mrs. Gao's family sent a few rice dumplings to Shuying's family, and the Niu family, Zhou family, and even Fang's mother also sent a few rice dumplings.

The Zhou family made meat dumplings, the Niu family made jujube dumplings, and the Fang family made dumplings with nothing in them. Shuying also brought back a few salted egg yolk meat dumplings for his family.

Now people from the Zhou, Niu, and Fang families also try the salted egg yolk and meat dumplings made by Shuying.

Speaking of which, no one makes salted egg yolk meat dumplings nowadays. At most, they are meat dumplings, and the method of making them is also simple. They are far less complicated than Shuying's, which does not require a lot of seasonings.

Not to mention that she put a lot of bay leaves, star anise and other spices in the meat for the rice dumplings and marinated it overnight to make it tasty, and it also has the crunchy taste of salted egg yolk and the fresh flavor of mushrooms.

Look, several families are eating Shuying’s salted egg yolk and meat dumplings, which are particularly delicious and everyone is scrambling to eat them.

The Niu family was the same as the Gao family. Niu Tuan and Niu Saozi got one, the two daughters got one, and Niu Weiguo got one alone. Once they tasted it, the whole family couldn't stop eating it. They all thought that the rice dumplings sent by Chen Tuan's family tasted really good. The two sisters Niu Saozi and Niu Yulian were more reserved when eating the rice dumplings, but Niu Tuan and Niu Weiguo, father and son, ate it so voraciously that they stared with their eyes wide open. Their speed of chewing the rice dumplings was no slower than Gao Tuan and the three brothers of the Gao family.

At Fang's house, Xia Lina didn't want to eat the salted egg yolk rice dumplings made by Yang Shuying. Instead, they were good for Deputy Tuan Fang and his two children. After Deputy Tuan Fang, Fang Xiuxiu and Fang Xiaobao tasted it, they swallowed all the delicious food on their tongues. Fang's mother also tasted some. The rice dumplings at Chen's house were really delicious, much better than ordinary rice dumplings!

Deputy Director Fang must be really jealous of Director Chen's good food! How come Director Chen's wife is so good at cooking?

Both the Zhou family and the Chen family make meat dumplings. Originally, Mr. Zhou and his two sons had eaten too much of their own meat dumplings and didn’t want to eat them much. But after tasting the egg yolk meat dumplings made by Axi’s wife (Chen Tuan’s wife), their eyes lit up one by one. After eating their own meat dumplings again, they felt that the taste of their own meat dumplings was too ordinary.

At first, Aunt Zhou thought that the three of them were too exaggerated. But after she actually tasted the salted egg yolk rice dumplings made by Axi's wife, she admitted that the rice dumplings she made were not as delicious as those made by Axi's wife. How could these rice dumplings be so delicious?

Ye Shuning also eats delicious food.

While other families were enjoying the feast of rice dumplings, the Chen family's dining table was also very busy.

The salted egg yolk and meat dumplings were delicious, but the glutinous rice was choking. She chewed them slowly and was almost full after eating two.

However, uncle and nephew Chen Xi and Chen Yi ate quite a bit and enjoyed the meal very much.

Her husband has a particularly big appetite and can finish a salted egg yolk and meat dumpling in just two or three bites.

The usually calm and rational man never slowed down when eating the salted egg yolk rice dumplings. Chen Yi, with her small belly, actually ate more rice dumplings than her.

When Shuying touched the boy's slightly bulging belly, the boy wanted to stretch out his paw to grab the rice dumpling, but Shuying held his paw down.

It was almost time for dinner, and Shuying repeatedly urged the uncle and nephew to save some room for dinner, otherwise they could eat a few more rice dumplings.

For dinner, Shuying made a simple meal: a braised yellow eel and a mixed water spinach.

She had just seen the eels at the market yesterday. Her husband loved to eat them and they were nutritious, so she bought a bucket of them and mixed them with loaches and eels and kept them in a wooden basin in the backyard to eat slowly. When her husband saw them, his eyes lit up.

At dinner, Chen Xi stuffed a piece of delicious, tender braised yellow eel into his mouth. He had to admit that he was in great luck. It was no wonder that Gao Tuan envied him so much before.

Chen Xi ate four bowls of rice while eating the delicious dish of braised yellow eel. Shu Ying was stunned, thinking, this man had eaten plenty of rice dumplings just now, how could he eat so many bowls of rice?

However, Chen Yi had eaten a lot of rice dumplings before dinner, so he was full with just a small bowl of rice for dinner.

After eating, he slipped down to play.

Shuying ate rice dumplings and only had half a bowl of rice in the evening. Chen Xi thought she ate too little, frowned slightly and insisted on giving her another bowl of rice, but Shuying refused.

Needless to say, her man is quite intimidating when he has a gloomy face, but Shuying is not afraid at all and even glares at people.

In the end, the man, who was afraid that his wife would be unhappy, had no choice but to give in.

After dinner, Shuying packed a few parcels, including egg yolk and pork dumplings and other local specialty seafood, and prepared to send them to her parents' home and her husband's home.

The weather is not too hot now, so it is okay to store the egg yolk and meat dumplings for a few days and eat them immediately.

She didn't know much about her husband's family, but her mother must have been reluctant to make rice dumplings, so she gave a bunch of them to her father and several brothers, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces to taste.

There was also a thick letter in each of the two packages, addressed to her, her husband, and their children.

The next day, Chen Xi carried two large packages to the express delivery office to send them separately.

Commander Chen and his mother in Kyoto received the package and letter first.

The old couple read the letter first. Their son's writing style remained unchanged. His words were very concise and to the point. There were not many words in the letter, but it was obvious that their son was very satisfied with his current life, and even more satisfied with his daughter-in-law. Most of the words in the letter were praising his daughter-in-law.

Of course, he also gave the old couple many reminders to take care of their health, asked about the situation in Kyoto, and advised him to retire early as he was old.

"This brat!" Commander Chen is only in his fifties, but he refuses to admit that he is old. However, knowing that his son meant well, Commander Chen cursed with a smile.

Chen's mother also wanted her husband to retire and go visit the young couple and grandson, but Chen's mother also knew that her husband would have to stay in Kyoto even after retirement. There were too many people watching the old couple now, so it would not be good for him to go to the young couple and cause them trouble.

Now, Chen's mother also understands that even Chen's eldest brother could report her man, let alone others.

Afterwards, the old couple read the letters from their daughter-in-law and grandson. Most of the letters from the daughter-in-law were about her concern for them and the daily life of the three of them in the military area. She said that she didn't send much, just some seafood for the old couple to make soup for nourishment.

They also invited the old couple to stay with them for a while when they have time.

As for Chen Yi, of course he was talking about how his uncle was "bad" to him. He said that his uncle made him sleep alone last month and did not allow him to sleep with his aunt. He especially liked to monopolize his aunt, and his aunt made delicious food for him every day.

The dishes and food cooked by my aunt are the most delicious. The rice dumplings she made recently are especially delicious!

He also said that he has a younger brother and his sister who also live in his uncle's house, but his younger brother and aunt don't cook delicious food for him every day, and his sister often has to do extra work. Their aunt would scold them from time to time, but his aunt would not scold him and was especially nice to him. During the Chinese New Year, his uncle specially gave him a dime and his aunt gave him a dollar and told him to keep it.

Chen Yi's letter was the longest, and most of it was written in pinyin. The old couple did not mind reading it, and laughed as they read. As for the money that the daughter-in-law gave to the child, Commander Chen smiled and scolded his own son for being too stingy. Mother Chen was a little surprised, but did not think much about it, and just thought that her daughter-in-law was occasionally a little sloppy in her sewing.

Their grandson only said a few things in the letter, but the old couple could feel how good their daughter-in-law was to this child?

To be honest, the main reason why the old couple agreed to let their son marry their daughter-in-law was not only because their son liked her, but also because they wanted their daughter-in-law to be nicer to the child.

However, they had never expected that their daughter-in-law would be so kind to the child. Commander Chen laughed and said that his son had good taste. Mother Chen also couldn't help but sigh in her heart that her son did have good taste.

"Look what package my daughter-in-law has sent to our house." Commander Chen was in a good mood and said with full energy.

There is also a contrast between the old couple. Kyoto is very chaotic now. Not to mention the sons and daughters-in-law who send packages to their parents out of filial piety, there are many sons and daughters-in-law who take the initiative to sever ties with their parents.

Mother Chen opened the package and found a bunch of rice dumplings and some dried seafood inside. It was a big bag. It must have cost her daughter-in-law a lot of money.

Mother Chen and Commander Chen were all beaming with joy. It was not that they were trying to take advantage of their daughter-in-law, but that her daughter-in-law was so thoughtful, thinking about them from time to time and sending them such expensive and good things.

Commander Chen and his mother both planned to give the young couple some money and tickets. Their daughter-in-law spent a lot of money on them, so what should they do if she was too stingy to themselves and their family?

"Didn't Yibao say that the rice dumplings made by your daughter-in-law are particularly delicious? Daughter-in-law, cook a few for me so I can taste them!" Commander Chen said.
