"Mom, dumplings!"
On Tuesday, Xiang Nuan took a day off to prepare meals at home, and Yao Jinhua also came to help. Yanyan is now over one year old, and can not only walk but also speak a lot.
Just looking at the dumplings made by Xiang Nuan, I want to reach out and grab them.
Xiang Nuan quickly stuffed a biscuit into the child's hand and carried him to the side. "We'll be able to eat the dumplings when they're cooked. You can have the biscuit first."
After saying that, he didn't care whether she understood or not and continued making dumplings.
Yao Jinhua said to Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, take good care of your sister. Don't let her come over. Take her to the yard to play."
"good!"
After hearing what her mother said, Xiaoyu took Yanyan's hand and said gently, "Sister, I'll take you out to play."
Yanyan likes this sister, and when she heard the joke, she followed her with a smile.
Two people are faster than one person, and soon two covers of dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage were wrapped. Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Xiang Nuan started to prepare other dishes.
Since we were making dumplings, we didn't make many dishes. We only planned to make four: stewed chicken with mushrooms, cold shredded potatoes, stewed radish, and stir-fried water spinach. I also made some French fries for the children, and paired them with Xiang Nuan's homemade ketchup. The children ate until their mouths were full.
Soon Yan Fangming and Sun Jianshe got off work, and the dumplings were almost ready. Sun Jianshe went home and brought over his treasured wine.
Yu Guangcheng and his family finally arrived after the food was served.
Zhao Manman said apologetically, "Sorry, we are late."
She worked in the county town, and it took time for her to get home from get off work. Everyone understood and no one would say anything. Xiang Nuan smiled and invited the three of them to sit down, "It's not too late, the food is just on the table. You must have come here because of the smell! Come and sit down!"
As soon as Aiguo arrived, he ran over to play with Yanyan, while Yu Guangcheng put the wine he brought on the table, "I brought two bottles of good wine, which I usually don't drink. Captain, I spent a lot of money to practice for you, and you can't say I was stingy in the future!"
Sun Jianshe pointed at him and smiled, "You are only generous for once, but I accept the favor! Come, let's have a couple more drinks tonight."
"No problem!"
"Captain, don't forget your brothers when you get there. We will miss you!"
Sun Jianshe laughed, "Of course I can't forget that, especially you. I will remember you forever!"
Yu Guangcheng laughed and said, "You said that as if I have a grudge against you."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The dumplings and wine were delicious, and the three men toasted each other, eating dumplings and drinking and chatting. The three women also ate and chatted, except that they didn't drink. The children were fed and then left to play by themselves.
The meal lasted until around 8pm. After seeing off the guests, Xiang Nuan hurried to coax the child to sleep. Normally, he would have gone to bed by this time, but today he didn't feel sleepy because he had friends to play with.
Yan Fangming cleaned up the table and the dishes before washing up and going to bed.
The next day, the family next door loaded their belongings into the car, and Xiang Nuan and his wife, Yu Guangcheng, and other military wives in the compound who had a good relationship with Yao Jinhua came to see them off.
"Sister-in-law, have a safe trip. Remember to call Fang Ming when you arrive. We should keep in touch by letter."
Xiang Nuan held Yao Jinhua's hand reluctantly. She had a lot to say to her, but she swallowed it back when it came to her lips.
Yao Jinhua also nodded reluctantly, "Don't worry, I will write to you after I settle down there. You all need to be well in the future. There is still a long time to go, and we will have the opportunity to meet again."
"good."
