How easy is it to understand children’s little thoughts?
It’s just that I don’t like you, so I have to target you, and I don’t want you to eat anything in my house.
But they don't fight, because they know that if they fight, neither side will gain anything. So, they prefer to outsmart others.
But no matter what, we need the other party's cooperation to continue.
Qian Duoshu blinked his eyes and opened his mouth slightly, "But Duoduo doesn't want to eat another one."
The six vegetable dumplings are just enough for two per person, so everyone can eat as much as they want. If you're still hungry after eating, you can ask your aunt for something else, which is fine.
Erdan: “…”
Erdan choked, puffed up his cheeks and glared at the little kid in front of him. Why was he so annoying?
"Second brother?" Qian Duoshu reached out and took a vegetable dumpling, holding it in both hands like a little hamster, smiling with his eyes narrowed. "I'll give you one of these vegetable dumplings."
Erdan: "I don't want yours!"
Is he a beggar? He doesn't want the food given up by a little kid with bad intentions!
Reaching out angrily to pick up his two vegetable dumplings, Erdan turned around and walked out, "I'm so annoyed!"
How can there be such annoying people!
In the room where only two people were left, Qian Duoshu looked at Dadan softly, "Big brother, do you want to eat? I'll give you plenty."
Dadan looked at him, moved his hands, but didn't stretch them out in the end. He only moved his mouth, "No, you can eat yours yourself."
Qian Duoshu's eyes suddenly turned into little crescents, and he opened his mouth as wide as possible. With a "ah-wu" sound, the little crescents became more obvious.
Dadan looked at him, then at the vegetable dumpling in his hand, took a bite suspiciously, and then his eyes narrowed involuntarily.
Can vegetable dumplings be so delicious?
There is no astringent taste, it is very fresh, and I want to suck my fingers after eating it...
"Eat up, Huhu~~~" Abandoning the rule of not talking while eating and not talking while sleeping, Qian Duoshu shared with Dadan, "Big katydid, does it look like a katydid?"
Dadan glanced at him and said, "Let's talk after we finish eating."
Little Qian Duoshu nodded obediently and gnawed on his vegetable dumplings, looking so happy.
Big brother doesn't seem to hate him so much anymore~~~
Erdan, who was strolling outside, saw the flat basket made of thin bamboo strips filled with vegetable dumplings piled up like a mountain. He was stunned for a long time, looked down at the two dumplings in his hand, and strolled past.
The old men and women at the entrance of the alleys and in the park gave him such confidence that whenever he wanted to hang out with them, he felt as familiar as if he were at home and didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
The adults teased him for a while and then started talking about other things.
Chen Bai pointed to the dipping saucer and said, "Would you like some? It's a little spicy."
They thought it tasted better in its original form, so after dipping it in water once, they didn't dip it again.
Erdan nodded instantly, "Thank you, Grandpa."
As he spoke, he had already pressed the vegetable dumpling into the dipping water. After dipping it, he took a bite and his eyes lit up.
It tastes better this way!
Chen Bai smiled and urged him to take it to the living room to eat.
Sometimes when adults are talking, they don't pay much attention to their words when they are in the mood. Besides, these guys are all rough men. If they say something inappropriate for children and the children hear it, not to mention whether his daughter-in-law will have any objections, his wife, Ms. Meng, will be so angry that he will be furious.
Erdan: "...I like listening to adults talk."
He came over here...
It's not for the dipping sauce, it's for the vegetable dumplings that look like a small mountain~~~
The old men and women at the entrance of the alley and in the park like him very much. He squats beside them and listens to them talking. They don't drive him away and sometimes even ask for his opinions and views. Why doesn't this work when it comes to my grandfather?
Erdan, who thought he was a heartthrob, was at a loss.
Chen Bai: "Do you play with girls at school?"
Erdan opened his mouth and said reluctantly, "...No."
"That's good, isn't it? You don't even want to play with girls at school, just like us adults don't want to play with you kids." Chen Bai smiled, "Hurry up, Dadan and Duoduo are waiting for you."
What are you waiting for? He just came out of the living room, and he didn't see them chasing him out, or saying a word to stop him from leaving.
"Grandpa, you're not right," Erdan said to Chen Bai with a smile. "Adults like to play with children too. Yesterday, my mom and grandma took us out to play, and they even played mud wrestling with us! At the end, a few grandpas even competed with us! Didn't grandma bring home a few crucian carp? They were given to her by those grandpas!"
"So, adults are also willing to take us kids out to play. It just depends on whether they're willing or not."
Chen Bai: “…”
Chen Bai stopped talking. The people who saw Chen Bai being humiliated burst into laughter. This kid is really good and has enough brains!
"Okay, okay, listen if you like." Chen Bai glanced at a few people and said, "There are children here, so please be careful with your words."
Su Qinghu had prepared the meal by now, and the rice would be ready when they were almost done drinking and eating.
She washed her hands, cleaned off the oil fumes, wiped her hands clean, and turned around to see the astonished look of her mother-in-law, Ms. Meng.
She smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ms. Meng pointed to the numerous bottles, jars, and bags of condiments. "This is the first time I've seen so many condiments needed for cooking!"
Su Qinghu smiled, "Although it's a bit too much, as long as the seasoning is well adjusted, other than the fresh fragrance, you can hardly taste the original flavor of the spices."
She had been to Sichuan, where she learned the true exquisiteness of food. The selection of Sichuan peppercorns and chilies was incredibly rigorous, not just in type and origin, but also in spiciness, aroma, color, and even the texture.
"That's true." Ms. Meng nodded. "Just like the vegetable dumplings you make, very fresh and fragrant."
At first, she wanted to laugh when she saw that Xiao Su had to specially fry the oil used to make the dumplings. This was too particular. No matter how delicious it was, how good could it be?
But when I put it in my mouth, I realized that it was different from the vegetable dumplings I had eaten before.
"It's not that difficult, actually. We can find star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger slices, green onions, and onions." Su Qinghu smiled and glanced outside before continuing to talk to her mother-in-law, Ms. Meng, "If you want to be more particular, you have to check where the Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers are produced."
Ms. Meng laughed. "Hearing you talk and act, I feel like life in our country is really getting better."
But not yet.
"There will be more and more people like me who are particular about food." Su Qinghu smiled with his eyes curved. Suddenly, he turned around, picked up a piece of cold shredded chicken with chopsticks and handed it to Ms. Meng. "Try the chicken drumstick I processed."
There is no need to be sad. Although the country will have problems of one kind or another in the future, things will get better and better in the end.
