After Lin measured the dimensions, Li Yan went to prepare dinner for today.
Ask Lin what he wants to eat.
Lin shook her head, busying herself with the work in her hands, and let Li Yan make her own decision.
Li Yan saw the meat she bought, thought about it, and decided to make dumplings in the evening.
I washed the meat I bought in the morning from the bag, started cutting it into pieces and mincing the meat, prepared the dumpling filling first, and started kneading the dough. When everything was ready, I started making dumplings.
The dumpling filling is cabbage and pork. When she lived alone in the past, she often made dumplings by herself, so Li Yan is quite skilled at this job.
Li Yan was making dumplings here, and Lin came over to help her daughter boil water. When the pot boiled, Li Yan had already made most of them. Lin asked her daughter how much she wanted to eat.
Li Yan thought for a moment and said, "Put down some more and send some to grandpa and grandma later!"
Lin put the dumplings into the pot as instructed. When Li Yan finished wrapping the rest of the dumplings, the dumplings over there were also ready. When she opened the lid of the pot, Li Yan was hit in the face by the hot steam and quickly took a few steps back.
Seeing her daughter being so clumsy, Lin couldn't help but scold her: "Be careful, are you hurt?"
Li Yan shook her head. Lin picked up a large bowl from the table, filled it with dumplings, and handed it to Li Yan: "Send it to your grandma!"
Li Yan took the bowl and went to the next room quickly.
At this time, people next door were finishing their meal, eating thin porridge with pickles.
Maomao saw Li Yan coming over with a bowl of dumplings from a distance. He couldn't help but have his eyes light up, and rushed from the dining table to Li Yan.
Li Yan dodged and said, "It's hot, it's hot, be careful!"
Wu came over and took the dumplings from Li Yan's hand. She couldn't help but say, "You really don't know how to live. You're wasting money like this! Even landlords wouldn't dare to make dumplings like her!"
Li Yan replied with a smile: "How can it be a waste to honor grandparents?"
Old Master Li felt very flattered by his granddaughter's flattery and spoke up to stop his wife from nagging.
When the uncle saw the dumplings his niece brought to his family, he hurriedly asked Li Yan to come and sit down.
"Uncle, you guys eat first. If it's not enough, go home and get more. I'm going back first." After saying that, he ran back!
The little cousin's eyes and heart were filled with dumplings. He could not hear his grandma's mumbling at all. He had already picked up the dumplings and started eating them!
The plump dumplings are so delicious that you can't help but swallow your tongue when you take a bite.
Mr. Li interrupted Wu's mumbling. He had been eating bland soup every day recently, and he was craving meat. He coughed and said, "Eat!"
When they returned home, Mrs. Lin had already served Li Yan a bowl full of dumplings.
Li Yan had been out all day and was already starving. She picked up the bowl and started eating immediately, not caring if it was hot.
Halfway through the meal, the little cousin came running in from outside, stood at the kitchen door, and poked his little head out to look at Li Yan.
Li Yan waved, and the little guy ran to Li Yan happily.
"Are the dumplings delicious?" Li Yan asked.
Maomao nodded exaggeratedly: "It's delicious. I've never eaten dumplings so delicious."
Li Yan was amused by him and took a small bowl to serve him some more. The little guy sat next to his cousin and ate dumplings with a satisfied look on his face, and exclaimed in admiration from time to time.
After eating the dumplings, Li Yan remembered that she had not yet given Xiu'er the money from selling embroidery today.
Li Yan counted out thirty coins from her purse and went to Xiu'er's house.
Xiu'er had just finished her meal and was busy washing the dishes. Seeing Li Yan coming, she hurriedly asked Li Yan to sit down first and she would be there for a while.
After Li Xiu finished washing the dishes and sat down next to Li Yan, Li Yan told her about the embroidery she had bought today. She took out thirty coins from her pocket and placed them on the table: "This is the payment for the five handkerchiefs you made. Six coins each, a total of thirty coins. Keep them!"
Xiu'er quickly declined: "My family hasn't paid you back the money we borrowed from you yet! You can use this to pay it off first, and I'll pay you back the rest when I make money in the future."
"How can that be? Since I'm lending you the money, there's no need to rush to pay it back. You have a lot of expenses at home, so take it for now! You can give it to me later when you have extra money!"
After hearing what Li Yan said, Li Xiu no longer insisted and accepted the money.
