181: A meal of white flour and meat dumplings
When Yu Erye heard this, he immediately burst into tears and came up to hug his arms:
"Dad, you are my biological dad, don't you really recognize me?"
Yu Jiahui didn't know how to answer for a moment. What a shame! He hadn't discussed the matter with his wife and children beforehand, and he didn't know what to say. It would be bad if he let something slip.
Just at this time, Yu Xiaoye came over from home.
When Yu Xiaoye heard the loud speaker announcing the end of work, he guessed that the father and son might meet outside, so he rushed over to help.
Because this happened so suddenly, Dad was not mentally prepared at all, so he should be scared again.
As soon as I came out, I saw the father and son standing on the path and pulling each other.
When Yu Jiahui saw his daughter, he quickly asked her for help:
"Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye, come here quickly, this guy is stopping me and insists on calling me daddy!"
Yu Xiaoye trotted all the way to the front and said:
"Dad, this is really your son. He's my second brother, Yu Erye."
Yu Jiahui grabbed Yu Xiaoye's arm, glared, and desperately winked at his daughter:
"What the hell is going on? How could this happen? It was fine when I left this morning, but it became like this when I came back this evening!"
The implication is, what is going on? Did someone come to your door or something?
Is there any fighting at home?
Yu Xiaoye knew what her father was worried about. She hugged her father's arm and said:
"Dad, it's okay. I went to pick up my second brother."
"ha?!"
Did you take it back yourself?
Yu Jiahui was confused.
He gnashed his teeth again:
"Such a big thing, you, you didn't even tell me in advance!"
"Dad, Dad, let's go home first and eat dumplings first."
Yu Jiahui's eyes lit up:
"Dumplings tonight?"
"Yes, white flour and meat dumplings, go back quickly."
When Yu Jiahui heard that they would have dumplings for dinner, he didn't care about his son who had suddenly appeared, and hurried home with his daughter.
Yu Erye, who was standing behind him, was shocked that his family could actually eat white flour and meat dumplings. However, when he saw the father and daughter walking arm in arm and shoulder to shoulder, he was even more shocked than eating the white flour and meat dumplings.
In their village, if a father and daughter dared to walk together arm in arm like this, they would be scolded to death by the whole village.
The old one is not serious, and the young one is not serious either.
How can a father hold his daughter's arm like this?
Furthermore, Yu Jiahui had always disdained this money-losing girl and had never looked at her straight in the eye. But now he let his daughter hug her arms like this. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it even if he was beaten to death.
This time, Yu Erye really believed that his parents today were no longer the same parents as before. The old couple probably really forgot everything that happened in the past.
A sense of sadness rose in Yu Erye's heart.
But then I suddenly thought, yes, there are dumplings, white flour and meat dumplings——
Thinking of the dumplings, Yu Erye picked up the clay pot and clothes on the ground and ran home, fearing that if he returned a step too late, the dumplings would be eaten up.
——
In front of a bowl of steaming white flour and meat dumplings, nothing else matters.
The family of four seemed to have pressed the pause button, no longer thinking about anything else, and only cared about the lovely white meat dumplings in the pot.
The dumplings were taken out of the pot and brought to the main room. There was no table, so they were placed on the earthen kang in the outer room. Four people sat around eight bowls of dumplings.
For a moment, the room was filled with the heat and fragrance of dumplings.
Without any more formalities, everyone picked up their bowls and started working.
Especially Yu Erye, he didn't care how hot the dumplings were, he ate one by one and put them into his mouth.
He put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and swallowed it directly. The whole bowl of dumplings was finished in the blink of an eye.
Xu Ying secretly observed the way his adopted son ate and was shocked:
So cool?!
She suddenly understood what having one more person in the family meant. It meant that their family’s food rations might be consumed very quickly!
As a housewife, Xu Ying was really worried. If she only relied on her old man's salary, she really couldn't support the family.
Fortunately, my daughter has an ocean space to use, otherwise she would be starving.
Xu Ying slowed down the pace at which she ate dumplings to see how much her adopted son could eat. If it wasn't enough, she could save a little for him.
It’s not because he feels so sorry for his son, but because if it were someone else he knows, Xu Ying might do the same.
After eating for a while, Yu Xiaoye saw that she hadn't finished her bowl, and there were still four or five dumplings left at the bottom of the bowl. She poured the dumplings in her bowl into her second brother's bowl:
"Brother, I'm full, you eat."
Yu Erye didn't even raise his head. In the blink of an eye, he shoveled the dumplings into his mouth, then put down the empty bowl and picked up the third bowl.
Xu Ying looked at her son and then at her daughter. She could see that her daughter could actually finish the whole bowl of dumplings.
Although my daughter usually doesn't eat much, she had a rare opportunity to eat meat dumplings today, so she must have eaten more than usual. I wouldn't say how much more, but she could at least eat a whole bowl. However, she still left the last few dumplings for her second brother. It can be seen that she still feels sorry for her brother and wants him to have a good meal.
Yu Erye devoured three bowls in a flash. Xu Ying saw that the dumplings were not enough, so he ate one bowl himself and left some for his adopted son to have a full meal.
In the end, Yu Erye ate four and a half bowls of dumplings by himself, which was more than the three people combined.
After finishing his meal and putting down his chopsticks, Yu Erye burped loudly:
"I'm so full! I've never been this full in my life! I'm dying of stuffing!"
It’s not that Yu Erye had never eaten so much before, but that he had never eaten so well and so full before.
The number of times I’ve eaten meat dumplings can be counted on two hands.
Occasionally, during the Chinese New Year, I would eat meat dumplings.
There was very little meat in the noodles, and there were so many people in the family that it was good enough for each person to have a small bowl. It would be gone before we could even taste it. How could we eat as much as we did today?
This was the first time in his life that he burped after eating meat dumplings.
And the meat in the dumplings is not fake, you can really taste the meat particles when you take a bite!
Once the stomach is full, people feel at ease, and Yu Erye feels that his heart is full.
After wandering all the way, I finally feel like I'm home.
Although his parents and younger sister have changed a lot and are no longer the same as before, which made him feel very lost at first, but now think about it, what does it matter?
At least my parents and younger sister still recognize him and acknowledge that they are a family.
And if you think about it carefully, today's home is much better than before. What was home like before? It was poor, broken, dirty and messy, and we often didn't have enough to eat even though we had simple meals.
His home now is not only clean and beautiful, it also has a whole big yard, and he can eat delicious meat dumplings. Isn’t this kind of life without worries about food and clothing what he has always dreamed of? Now it has finally come true!
