Su Jingjing taught the two children how to make dumplings step by step.
An'an is very quick to understand; she picks things up immediately, and the dumplings she makes are quite pretty.
On the contrary, Yuanyuan makes dumplings as if it were child's play.
Su Jingjing did not discourage the children; instead, she praised them.
Ten minutes later, the family of four had made more than seventy dumplings in total.
She planned to share some with Sister-in-law Qiu Rong and Zhao Di.
She scooped the dumplings out of the pot after about ten minutes.
"Mom, it smells so good!"
Yuan Yuan hid behind her, tiptoeing to look at the stove.
Su Jingjing looked down at her daughter's messy face and said, "Let Daddy take you to wash your face and hands first, then you can eat right away."
Hearing that there would be dumplings to eat, Yuanyuan happily ran to the living room.
She ran while shouting, "Dad, Yuanyuan needs to wash her face and hands."
"Okay, Dad's coming right now."
His daughter's words were like his wife's words, so Li Hanting put down what he was doing and carried his daughter to the bathroom.
An'an remained silent, seemingly already accustomed to her father's doting on her younger sister.
Su Jingjing took bowls and divided the dumplings into portions, putting seven dumplings in each bowl.
Zhao Di lived right across from her, so she gave it to Zhao Di first.
Su Jingjing knocked gently on the door, and Xiaoyun came to open it.
"Aunt Su, is there anything I can help you with?"
Yan Xiaoyun and Yuanyuan are about the same height, except that Yuanyuan's face is now chubby.
She's not afraid of Aunt Su anymore; Aunt Su has given her lots of good things to eat.
Su Jingjing crouched down slightly and spoke to Xiaoyun, "Xiaoyun, these are dumplings from Aunt Su. Do you like them?"
dumpling?
Yan Xiaoyun subconsciously looked at the bowl in the aunt's hand. The aroma of dumplings wafted over, and she unconsciously swallowed.
Hearing Jingjing's voice, He Zhaodi quickly came out of the kitchen, wiping her hands.
"Jingjing, what's wrong?"
The mother and daughter spoke in exactly the same tone.
Su Jingjing repeated what she had said.
He Zhaodi stared at the plump dumplings, momentarily stunned.
"I can't accept this. Take it home for An'an and Yuanyuan to eat."
To be honest, she was quite tempted too.
She only makes dumplings during the Lunar New Year, and her dumplings are always filled with vegetables, while the dumplings in Jingjing's bowl are clearly filled with meat.
Jingjing has been good enough to their family; she shouldn't just keep enjoying other people's kindness.
Su Jingjing placed the bowl in Zhao Di's hand, "Take it, there are more at home."
Seeing that the other party insisted on handing it over, she had no choice but to change her tone.
"These dumplings are for Xiaoyun."
Then he looked down at Xiaoyun and asked gently, "Xiaoyun, do you want to eat?"
Yan Xiaoyun opened her big eyes wide, her longing evident in them.
When He Zhaodi saw her daughter swallowing desperately, her defenses crumbled instantly.
It's all their fault as parents; they failed to provide enough food and clothing for their children.
"Xiaoyun, quickly thank Aunt Jingjing."
Seeing that her mother had agreed, Yan Xiaoyun grinned excitedly, "Aunt Jingjing, thank you for the dumplings."
"You're welcome. Xiaoyun is so thoughtful. Auntie will head back now."
Su Jingjing also felt sorry for Xiaoyun. The child was just as thin and small as Yuanyuan before, with her eyes being the most prominent feature of her body.
However, she was much luckier than Yuanyuan; at least she was pampered at home.
Su Jingjing then delivered the dumplings to Sister-in-law Qiu Rong, and they exchanged pleasantries.
When they got home, the father and his two sons hadn't even touched their chopsticks yet.
She asked in surprise, "Why haven't you eaten yet?"
"Mom, we'll wait for you to eat together."
Yuanyuan looked away from the dumplings.
Good things should be shared.
"Wife, sit down quickly, I'll go get the vinegar."
Li Hanting pulled out a chair, and his wife sat down next to him.
People here like to dip their dumplings in vinegar, but she prefers to add chili peppers and soy sauce, and she can show off several at once.
The dumplings on the plate were all beautiful, except for three or four that seemed to have broken skin.
Yuanyuan clearly saw her own masterpiece and blushed with embarrassment.
She looked up and peeked at her parents and brother, who were quietly eating dumplings.
She couldn't help but wonder, didn't her parents see the broken dumpling?
Hmm, it seems like Dad ate one.
She quickly stopped him, "Dad, don't eat this. The dumplings Yuanyuan makes aren't tasty."
The three people present stopped eating and looked over at the same time.
Li Hanting ate the broken dumpling without changing his expression. "These are dumplings my daughter made for me. How could they not taste good?"
Then he showed off two more.
Yuanyuan stared intently at her father's expression. "Daddy, is it really delicious?"
Li Hanting gently pinched his daughter's nose. "Delicious. From now on, all the dumplings Yuanyuan makes will be Daddy's."
He couldn't bear to see his daughter lose her eyes.
Actually, these dumplings weren't bad. My wife prepared the filling, and the only slight issue was that the dumplings broke apart.
Yuanyuan smiled again; her father loved the dumplings she made.
Su Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief; she had thought the little one would cry.
The family ate all fifty-odd dumplings, with Ah Ting eating most of them.
The two children ate until they were stuffed, and Su Jingjing told them to digest their food before taking a nap.

Time flew by, and the military exercises soon began.
Zhong Xinyi attaches great importance to this military exercise. If she wants to develop further in the cultural troupe, this military exercise is an opportunity.
Gu Shaokai drove over early in the morning, with a bouquet of flowers in the back seat.
This event includes not only cultural performances but also military exercises.
To be honest, Zhong Xinyi was indeed a little nervous.
She glanced up casually and saw Gu Shaokai standing in the most prominent position, waving at her as if to cheer her on.
Because Chief Gu was nearby, Zhong Xinyi didn't dare to wave, but just smiled at the man.
She seemed to have found an indescribable sense of self-confidence.
Gu Qingyun shook his head as he looked at his son's infatuated expression.
His stubborn son, who was as stubborn as a mule, had truly fallen from grace.
"Do you really like that girl that much?"
Gu Shaokai only looked away when he heard his father's voice.
"certainly."
A warning bell rang in my mind: "Dad, you won't object, will you?"
"No, if you like her, you should treat her well."
Gu Qingyun had heard about his son's scandals, but he never took them to heart.
His son is actually more devoted than anyone else.
He was just worried about whether the two children's personalities were compatible.
This girl seems a bit stubborn, and Shao Kai is more responsive to gentle persuasion than force. In the future, when the two of them live together, one of them will inevitably have to give in.
The military exercise soon officially began.
Even with a group of stern-faced officers sitting below, Zhong Xinyi remained calm and composed. On the contrary, Cai Lin and the others had never seen such a large scene before, and their expressions were unnatural.
In the end, Zhong Xinyi lived up to expectations and won first place.
The audience applauded loudly. The two men looked at each other across the stage, their eyes meeting without a word.
