??Chapter 21 Children
?? "Daughter-in-law, have you made dumplings?" Seeing the exquisite dumplings on the cutting board, Zhou Yi was a little surprised. He just went to his father's side for a while, and I don't know if it took half an hour, but she actually made so many dumplings?
?? You know, the process of making dumplings is troublesome. You have to knead the dough and chop the fillings. Even making dumplings takes time!
"The Song family doesn't like me. I've grown up so much that I haven't eaten a dumpling yet. Now that I have flour, pork and vegetables at home, I just..." In order to dispel Zhou Yi's doubts, Song Xi immediately showed a little Come with a look of aggrieved.
However, little 'Song Xi' did not eat dumplings once in the Song family. Even when the Song family made dumplings during the Chinese New Year, she couldn't even drink a mouthful of dumpling soup. Seeing what happened to little 'Song Xi', Song Xi knew that she was living in modern times. How happy she is. She never eats soup when she eats dumplings. Now that she thinks about it, she is really reckless.
"Daughter-in-law, you don't have to worry about anything here. You can eat whatever you want in the future, and you can tell me what you don't have at home." Looking at Song Xi's jet-black eyes, Zhou Yi subconsciously deep in it.
??He reached out and gently wiped off the white flour on Song Xi's brows and hair. She can eat whatever she has at home, and if she doesn't have anything at home, as long as she wants to eat, he will find a way to get it back.
??Zhou Yi's actions made Song Xi's mood a little chaotic. She was embarrassed to avoid his hand helping to tidy her hair, but he took a step ahead and put a hand around her waist, preventing her from retreating.
??Zhou Yi naturally saw that the little daughter-in-law was a little flustered, the more flustered the little daughter-in-law was, the happier he was, because this proved that the little daughter-in-law was slowly taking him to heart, even if the speed was slow, it was a good sign!
"Daughter-in-law, you sit down and rest first, and I'll cook the dumplings." Zhou Yi helped Song Xi to sit on the bench, and started to boil water. When the water was hot, he sprinkled some salt in it. Put the dumplings in.
Song Xi was watching from the side. She didn't expect Zhou Yi to be serious and good-looking when cooking. She knew that men in this era, even in rural areas, thought it was a shame for men to do housework. Even in modern times, some men still think about the past and are unwilling to help their wives with a little housework.
??So Zhou Yi is really good.
The dumplings were ready soon. Seeing Zhou Yi holding the dumplings in a bowl, Song Xi hurriedly said, "Brother Yi, I just need ten dumplings, and more soup." She wanted to taste the dumpling soup to see if it tasted good or not. .
??The two sat under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and ate dumplings. Zhou Yi took a bite and realized that the pork in the dumpling filling was fresh pork, not bacon, but he clearly remembered that they didn't buy fresh pork!
?? "Daughter-in-law, this pork..."
Knowing what Zhou Yi wanted to know, Song Xi hurriedly said, "It was given to me by the beautiful sister in the guest house. I didn't expect that it still didn't stink after covering it for a long time. The weather couldn't let it go, so I hurriedly made dumplings. How about it, are the dumplings I made delicious?"
?? "It's delicious, and my wife's craftsmanship is good." Zhou Yi took a bite, and sighed while eating. The filling tasted really good, at least he couldn't make such a filling.
"Brother Yi has a good grasp of the heat, so the dumplings are so delicious." Of course, Song Xi will not take the credit alone. The dumplings are hand-made by the employees in the supermarket. She has nothing to do with her. She is just giving the employees It's just salary!
Now that the supermarket comes with her, I don’t know if it still exists in modern times, and I don’t know what happened to those employees. Is it possible that she came here inexplicably, and all traces of her life in modern times have been erased, and no one remembers. did she exist?
??If this is the case, that’s pretty good, at least those who know her and treat her well will not feel sad because of her sudden disappearance.
Song Xi's appetite is not very good now, and he can't eat too much. There are ten dumplings in the bowl. After eating six and drinking a few mouthfuls of soup, he can't eat any more. When he was about to hand the dumplings to Zhou Yi, he suddenly knocked The door rang.
"Daughter-in-law, eat slowly, I'll go and have a look." Zhou Yi reached out and stroked Song Xi's hair, smiled at Song Xi, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard. won't let people in.
??The little daughter-in-law needs to rest now, and he will not let any unimportant people come over to disturb the little daughter-in-law's rest.
??Zhou Yi walked over quickly and opened the courtyard door half a person wide. He saw two tattered children standing outside the door. Seeing Zhou Yi appearing, they were a little embarrassed.
??Most of the children in the village are tattered and dirty like this, because they are very naughty and restless, no matter how clean they are dressed, they will turn into mud monkeys within a few minutes.
??Zhou Yi has no feelings for the children in the village.
??But now that people are coming to the door, he can't drive them away, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there something wrong with you knocking on the door?"
The little boy's face was reddish, and he was a little at a loss when facing the serious Uncle Zhou Yi. He held up his hands, "Uncle Zhou Yi, we found some wild berries on the mountain. They are sweet and sour and delicious. I just want to give some to my aunt."
In fact, these two children belong to the next door to Zhou Yi's family. There is a distance between the two families, and it takes about a minute or two to walk. They saw Zhou Yi and Song Xi coming home at night, and saw Song Xi walking by themselves, so they wanted to come and meet their little aunt .
?? "You guys really have a heart." Zhou Yi moved a step aside and let the two children in. The little daughter-in-law might be bored lying at home every day, so it would be good to let the two children accompany her to relieve boredom.
??Although he is not familiar with these two children, he also knows that the conduct of these two children is not bad. If someone guides them well, they should not grow crooked in the future.
"Daughter-in-law, this is the little tree and little flower next door. They brought you raspberries." Zhou Yi led a boy and a girl back, took the raspberry from the little boy's hand, and took it to the well. Side, pick up water to wash up.
?? "Hello, little friends!" Song Xi greeted the two children with a smile. The two children were very thin and thin, with no flesh on their faces, only a pair of big eyes that protruded, like aliens.
??The clothes on her body were also patched and patched, and there was still a strange smell in the air. The little girl's hair seemed to have not been washed for a long time, and it was lumpy and lumpy.
??Song Xi's hair is because Zhou Yi helped to take care of it, otherwise it would be no better than the little girl's condition. After all, she hasn't washed her hair since she fell down the hillside.
?? "Little aunt, you are so beautiful. I have grown up so much, and I have never seen anyone as beautiful as my little aunt." The little girl pinched the hem of her clothes nervously with both hands, and lowered her head shyly after saying this.
