The lively New Year's Eve dinner is over.
After cleaning up the dishes, everyone started kneading dough and chopping meat filling to prepare for making dumplings and glutinous rice balls.
Xie Jiajun is a group of roughnecks. Although they are not very good at cooking, they are quite good at making dumplings.
This also eliminates the need for on-the-spot learning.
The children, all bundled up, ran together to the covered walkway to watch the snow.
They shared their snacks.
Ever since Lin Yan opened the workshop, the children of the female workers have often come to play with Lin Muyan and the others.
Today's Lunar New Year is no exception.
Worried that they might slip on the snow in the yard, Xie Muqing took a broom and went out to sweep the snow in the yard.
Lin Yan went to the door to sweep the snow.
But at the courtyard gate, they met an unexpected person—Lin Niu Niu.
She quickly placed the broom by the wall and warmly led the person into the yard.
"Sister Niu Niu, why are you standing at the door? Come inside and play!"
"Xiaoyan, these are some snacks that my mother and I made. She asked me to bring them over so you can try her cooking."
Upon entering the courtyard, Lin Niu Niu felt somewhat disappointed when she didn't see the person she wanted to see.
She is someone who can't hide her feelings.
All his thoughts were written on his face.
Their once bright eyes suddenly dimmed, and the corners of their mouths drooped slightly.
Lin Yan took the basket from her hand, lifted the cotton cloth that had been covering it, and found dozens of small and exquisite pastries inside.
Her eyes lit up instantly, and she began to praise without reservation:
"These pastries look so beautiful! Please thank your mother for me. We've fried quite a lot of things at home too. Take some back with you. They were fried by Aunt Zhang, who always caters banquets in the county town. They taste amazing!"
Lin Niu Niu originally came to deliver some snacks; it wouldn't be proper for her to take some food home with her.
He quickly waved his hand in refusal:
"Ah, no need, Xiaoyan, we already blew some up at home."
"It's alright, we fry too many to eat. Come with me to the kitchen. Wang Hao is making dumplings there right now, don't you want to go and see?"
Lin Yan had already noticed Lin Niu Niu's sad and dejected expression. Without saying a word, she grabbed Lin Niu Niu's hand and headed towards the kitchen.
Faced with her blunt teasing.
Lin Niu Niu's round face instantly turned as red as an apple, and she stomped her foot in embarrassment and annoyance.
"Little Smoke!"
"Alright, alright, let's go!"
Liu Niuniu has been coming over frequently these days.
Although he said he was going to visit Lin Yan, anyone with eyes could see what was really going on.
So when the two of them entered the kitchen, the few people who were on good terms with Wang Hao knew what was going on and whistled a few times in jest, without any malicious intent.
Wang Hao also put down the dough in his hand and looked at Lin Niu Niu with a deep gaze.
Lin Niu Niu's face turned even redder.
Seeing her head drooping lower and lower, Lin Yan stepped in to smooth things over, clearing her throat and saying:
"Ahem, these are snacks made by Aunt Zhou and Sister Niu Niu. They brought them here especially for us to try. Please share them."
The desserts look beautiful and delicious.
Even though these men hadn't finished their New Year's Eve dinner long, they couldn't resist starting to "scramble" for the food, praising it enthusiastically as they ate:
"This dessert tastes really good!"
"Indeed, these are just as good as the pastries from the capital city!"
Listening to their unreserved praise, Lin Niu Niu felt very satisfied and proud, and finally raised her head, which had been hanging down.
Finally, their gaze shifted away from their toes.
She looked up and met those obsidian-like eyes, and immediately panicked.
He stood there dumbfounded, his mouth slightly agape.
As Wang Hao slowly approached, his tall and muscular figure cast a large shadow in front of her.
Only then did she belatedly blink and look up at the man above her.
Although Wang Hao's features are not exactly handsome, they are very regular, and his bronze skin makes him look even more masculine.
So much so that when Lin Niu Niu first saw him, she was completely captivated.
Right now.
Under his focused gaze, Lin Niu Niu felt so embarrassed that her whole body went numb, and her face turned red from her toes to the roots of her ears.
Lin Niu Niu isn't particularly beautiful, but her round face is very endearing, and her slightly plump figure and fair skin radiate a healthy glow.
This appearance is especially liked by elders.
So even though she's already nineteen, there are still quite a few people coming to her door to arrange marriages for her.
Her current blushing appearance gives her a unique charm.
Wang Hao couldn't help but swallow hard, staring intently at Lin Niu Niu, his deep, husky voice ringing out above her head.
"Thank you, the snacks were delicious."
Lin Niu Niu mustered her courage and glanced at the man above her head, but quickly lowered her head in embarrassment, her voice barely audible.
"If you like it, I'll make more next time..."
Seeing this scene.
Everyone present tactfully turned their backs and continued with their unfinished work.
Seeing the couple's affectionate display, Zhang Li pouted and let out a soft, resentful sound.
snort!
Couples love to show off their affection in front of him, and once he gets married, he'll want to flaunt it to them every day.
They'll be furious!
Sigh! It's been more than two years since he last returned to the village. I wonder how his Liu'er is doing now.
Although he frequently sent money and letters back home, nothing felt as reassuring as seeing it in person...
Lin Yan also took the opportunity to quietly leave the kitchen.
In the courtyard, Xie Muqing was still diligently shoveling snow.
