"I can probably only fulfill half of your wish." Su Qinghu drank his porridge slowly and looked up at Erdan.
Erdan blurted out, "Why?"
Whenever delicious food is mentioned, don’t he, his brother, and she instantly reach a consensus?
After reaching a consensus, they would go out together to the vegetable market, or to the places in the suburbs where old men and women picked vegetables to sell, select ingredients, and then go home to cook...
Su Qinghu: "Why? Why else? It's winter, and I'm lucky enough to find you lotus roots. You still want to eat corn stewed with pork ribs?"
Where could she find fresh corn?
Although her second son's words instantly brought to mind the sweetness of corn...
Erdan blinked, "It seems so."
"It's not like, it's - it's just like that." Su Qinghu took another sip of porridge and couldn't help but said, "Erdan, can you answer a question for me too?"
Erdan: "Tell me, tell me! Just ask me. I'll tell you everything I know."
…
but
There's no need to be so serious...
Su Qinghu: "I noticed that you have been blinking a lot today. Why? Are your eyes uncomfortable? Or are you blinking so that I can see how cute you are?"
When he said the last sentence, Su Qinghu also blinked.
Erdan was stunned by the question, "Huh? Blink? What blink? Did I blink?"
Su Qinghu nodded with a serious expression and told him that he did blink many times.
Erdan blinked. "I don't think so, do I? I don't even like blinking. I don't think blinking is very manly."
Su Qinghu: "...Sorry to give you a cruel reminder, you are blinking right now."
Erdan blinked and began to ponder: When did he start blinking? What was the context of blinking?
Thinking about it this way, Erdan was confused. He just blinked, there was no context at all...
What does this mean?
Does this mean he's being cute?
Erdan was suddenly disgusted by himself and suddenly woke up.
Su Qinghu looked at him, feeling a little puzzled. Why did the child look so frightened?
She was a little confused, but didn't ask. She just concentrated on drinking the porridge, and then glanced at Dadan from time to time.
The child didn't say a word, but he was not slow at all in making dumplings. He was closely following Chen Lie's speed in rolling out the dumpling wrappers.
Dadan was being stared at intently by her, and his hands were having trouble pinching the folds of the dumplings. He sighed helplessly in his heart, and then looked up at Su Qinghu.
"What's up?"
If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to stare at him like that.
Su Qinghu: "Before, the three of us made dumplings together, and our speed was about the same. I thought we were all at the same level. But today, I see that your speed is pretty good."
Dadan looked at her, his hands still moving.
Su Qinghu: "So, the second day of the Chinese New Year, the second day of the Chinese New Year is okay, right? Let's make all kinds of dumplings, wontons, and buns. Once they're done, we can freeze them in the refrigerator. Whenever we want to eat, we can just take them out and steam them. It's convenient and saves trouble."
Dadan reminded her, "You said before that everything should be eaten fresh."
Including when she persuaded them to eat carrots, there were also juicy green radishes. Every time she cut vegetables, as long as they were nearby, she would definitely cut a piece for them and let them eat it for fun.
Su Qinghu: "Fried dumplings, fried buns, deep-fried buns... Wait, no one is joining in?"
"I'm in!" Erdan immediately raised his hand.
Su Qinghu: "Good boy~"
She finished her porridge and was about to wash the dishes, but Chen Lie stopped her and said, "I'll do it."
Su Qinghu: "It's just one bowl..."
She washes her own bowl for eating, is there anything wrong with that?
It’s not like any relatives are coming for the New Year, why do I have to wash dozens of dishes at once!
Besides, he hasn't finished the work at hand yet.
"Put it there. I'll wash the dishes while I'm washing my hands later. You don't have to touch the water." Chen Lie didn't seem to understand what Su Qinghu said, and just continued to insist.
Su Qinghu: "...Okay, since you said that, I'll go make dumplings."
Dadan: "There are still a few skins left, no need."
Erdan: "Yeah, yeah, Mom, if you get involved, my dad won't be able to provide enough."
Su Qinghu put his hands in his sleeves and was about to go out, "Then I'll go."
There was no place for her in the kitchen, so she simply went to the living room to see if there was anything she had forgotten to bring to her mother-in-law's house at noon. If so, she wrote it down on the list and filled it up before going there.
After she left, the three of them fell silent.
"Is Mom's self-esteem hurt?" Erdan quietly asked Dadan opposite.
Dadan only glanced at him, his eyes watching his nose and his nose watching his heart, until Erdan tugged at his clothes before he replied, "Do you think it's possible?"
Erdan: “???”
Dadan looked at his unintelligent expression and sighed, "She often says she's thick-skinned. If she dares to claim to be number one in the world, no one dares to claim to be second. After all this, how can her pride be hurt?"
Erdan: "Do you believe everything she says?"
If she said she was rich, very rich, he would definitely be willing to believe it.
But now, she really seemed to be hurt...
"..." Dadan looked at him, "Then why shouldn't we believe what she said before?"
Erdan was speechless and could only mutter, "I don't care whether you believe it or not, but she looked like she was really hurt just now..."
Not allowed to wash dishes, not allowed to make dumplings, how hurtful...
Dadan looked at his expression with a blank face. He probably understood what his silly brother was thinking.
"Do you think that not letting her work hurts her self-esteem?" Dadan asked in a complicated tone.
Erdan didn't say anything, but his eyes showed his agreement.
Dadan took a deep breath and said, "No, how many people have you seen who like to work?"
She is not someone who likes to work.
If they really liked each other, they wouldn't usually divide the housework among the three of them...
Erdan: "Mom is very hardworking."
"Where are you diligent?" Dadan asked directly.
Erdan: "...seems very diligent."
Big Egg: “…”
Dadan was speechless and just listened as Chen Lie rolled out the dumpling wrappers.
Seeing that Dadan was speechless, he asked Erdan, "How do you feel?"
Erdan turned around and looked at the display. "Dad, think about it. After my mom came, my brother and I were dressed cleanly. We had several sets of new clothes, regardless of the festival. The food was good too. Look at me—"
As he spoke, he rushed to Chen Lie, stood up straight and gestured, "Look, I came to your place last time, and now I'm here!"
"Isn't this all her fault?"
Erdan's eyes sparkled, "She's very hardworking."
Big Egg, "That's smart!"
Want to hit someone, silly little brother is so happy now that he doesn't even want to use his brain!
Chen Lie: "She has cultivated good living habits for you, not bad."
