Li Shaozhong didn't hesitate to pick up a steamed dumpling, dipped it in vinegar and put it in his mouth.
The wild vegetable and egg filling is very fresh, and with all the oil and seasonings, the dumplings naturally taste great.
The fragrance of wild vegetables and the aroma of eggs mixed together to stimulate Li Shaozhong's taste buds. This was truly the best wild vegetable dumplings he had ever eaten. It had a unique flavor without any bad taste. It was really delicious.
Li Shaozhong gained a better understanding of Ye Shuning's craftsmanship.
He finished eating a dumpling and nodded, saying, "These dumplings are delicious. I haven't eaten dumplings in a long time since I came here, and I'm glad to satisfy my craving for them here today."
Ye Shuning smiled and said, "I've tried the food in your cafeteria, and it's really not that tasty. I made a lot of dumplings today, so you can take some back and heat them up."
Li Shaozhong was eating dumplings and took the time to chat with Ye Shuning.
While eating dumplings, Li Shaozhong looked up at Ye Shuning. The little girl ate very gracefully without making any sound, and it was obvious that she was well-educated.
He didn't know what kind of people Ye Shuning's parents were, raising such an outstanding daughter. He had never met Ye Shuning's parents, but he heard from his parents that they were both very good people.
At this time, Ye Shuning had already overturned the impression he had of her before. The more he got to know her, the more advantages he would discover about Ye Shuning.
What he couldn't understand was why Ye Shuning had appeared like that before. Compared with her current behavior, she was like two different people.
Perhaps it was because their previous understanding of Ye Shuning was too superficial, and they inevitably had preconceived notions and looked at people through tinted glasses, so they thought she was not good.
Li Shaozhong ate a lot for lunch. He ate two large plates of dumplings and drank two bowls of cornmeal porridge. He was really full.
After they finished their meal, Ye Shuning steamed another pot of dumplings. After the dumplings had cooled down a bit, Ye Shuning took out a small basket she had woven for steamed buns, lined it with cabbage leaves, and placed the dumplings inside. She then covered the basket and asked Li Shaozhong to take it back.
Li Shaozhong looked at the beautiful little basket and asked, "Did you weave this yourself?"
Ye Shuning nodded and said, "I made this specifically for steamed buns or other staple foods. You can take it first, and I'll make another one later."
Li Shaozhong found that there were many straw woven things in Ye Shuning's home, all of which were very beautiful. He didn't expect Ye Shuning to be so skillful.
He looked at the things around him and smiled: "It seems that you are living well here. The house is tidy and tidy."
Ye Shuning smiled and said, "This is my home, so of course I have to manage it well. Thank you for the puppy. With it at home, I'll have a companion and won't be lonely anymore."
After hearing what Ye Shuning said, Li Shaozhong felt sad for some reason, and even felt a little sorry for Ye Shuning.
This place is a foreign land for Ye Shuning, and she has no relatives to rely on. Yan Jingwen, who she wanted to rely on before, pushed her away, and the so-called relatives in her hometown were calculating to use her for the betrothal money and push her into the fire pit.
He remembered that his cousin was about the same age as Ye Shuning, but she often acted like a spoiled child in her parents' arms and was well protected by her parents.
But at this time Ye Shuning could only face everything by herself.
He thought Ye Shuning must be very frightened and insecure.
Li Shaozhong's mentality has changed a lot now. He now feels pity for Ye Shuning. He can't help but say, "You won't be alone. Don't you still have me as your brother?"
Ye Shuning was stunned when she heard this, then she laughed, "Brother Li, stop joking. Who are you? How can I be your sister?
Besides, I did scheme against your childhood friend, and I'm already very happy that you don't blame me. How could I even expect to be your sister? I'm self-aware of this."
Li Shaozhong heard Ye Shuning say this and said seriously: "Why can't you be my sister? You saved my second brother and did a favor to our Li family. My second brother treats you as his sister. Besides, you call me third brother, so isn't that your sister?"
I can understand why you used Jingwen to get out of trouble when you were desperate. But in the end, didn't you let Jingwen go? You didn't keep pestering him.
Actually, Jingwen has already forgiven you for what you did back then. He also knows how difficult it is for an orphan like you, to be schemed against by your own family. If we put ourselves in your shoes, we can understand you."
Ye Shuning was surprised when she heard this, "Yan Jingwen told you that he forgave me?"
Li Shaozhong nodded and said, "Jingwen also forgave you after listening to your explanation."
Ye Shuning sighed and smiled, "Actually, Yan Jingwen is a good person. I schemed against him like that, but he still tried to excuse me. He's really a very generous person.
I really had no other choice back then. In rural areas, legal consciousness wasn't as strong, and marriage was decided by parents and matchmakers. With both my parents gone, my grandmother and my uncle had complete control over my marriage, and no one would say anything.
Everyone was minding their own business, so who would care about other people's business? I was under control and couldn't escape the village. I saw Yan Jingwen coming from outside, so I took a gamble and plotted against him.
I'm very grateful to Yan Jingwen for helping me escape the clutches of my uncle and his family. Afterward, I felt very insecure and wondered if I could really rely on him.
But after experiencing a life-and-death situation, I suddenly realized that Yan Jingwen was my benefactor. Since he hated me and didn't want to marry me, I would just let him go free.
Staying away from him and never seeing each other again may be the best way for me to repay him. That's why I have to leave."
Li Shaozhong didn't expect Ye Shuning to think this way. He thought she must be very sad, but she had no relatives or friends to rely on or talk to, so she could only bear it alone.
After several contacts, he also found that Ye Shuning was actually a kind and upright girl, and she was also very strong and had her own opinions.
Yan Jingwen might regret pushing Ye Shuning away like this later.
Li Shaozhong looked at Ye Shuning and said sincerely, "Xiao Ning, just tell me if I'm qualified to be your brother."
Ye Shuning looked at Li Shaozhong's somewhat persistent look and smiled: "Of course, I'm willing to have a brother like you."
Li Shaozhong suddenly became in a good mood. He found that Ye Shuning was very good at talking, and he said with a smile on his face, "Okay, then I will be your brother from now on. If you have any problems, just tell me. It is my duty as a brother to help you.
My parents only gave birth to three of us brothers, no younger sister. From now on, you will be my younger sister.
Uncle Pan is an old subordinate of my father, and your father is also an old subordinate of my father. If nothing else, just because of this relationship, I should take better care of you."
