Zhou An and his wife had lunch at the Han family, and chatted with Mrs. Han for a while. It was almost two o'clock before leaving the Han family and returning to the Zhou family.

When I entered the door, there was a jingling sound in the kitchen, and it was Chen Xiuchun chopping the filling in the kitchen.

When Han Caiying heard this, she hurried into the kitchen to help. She cooked vegetables and meat with her two sisters-in-law, and quickly prepared the dumpling filling.

In the house, Mrs. Zhou had already scooped out the white flour and was awake. The dumpling filling was ready, and Zhou Anbang's family was back.

So he put a panel on the kang in the east room. Old Mrs. Zhou led his daughter-in-law and granddaughters to make dumplings. Old Mrs. Zhou chatted with his sons on the other side.

It is quite rare to eat dumplings these days, and usually I only book them during festivals or when there are guests at home.

So making dumplings is a very important thing for the farmers, and it has a sense of ritual.

Take Mrs. Zhou as an example. She must do the job of making dumplings at home.

Old Mrs. Zhou is good at craftsmanship. After kneading the dough into long strips, she does not use a knife to cut it out, but pulls it out one by one with her hands.

Each dough is uniform in size, and then it is arranged neatly on the panel, then it is then raised and flattened to roll the cake.

It is conceivable that working like this is unhappy, but the Zhou family is used to it, and no one feels it. They make dumplings step by step.

Fortunately, there are too many people working quickly, and not many times, the dumplings were wrapped in a large curtain.

During the holidays, the Zhou family, except those who were studying outside and those who were in the organization, all the rest of the Zhou family came back.

There are almost twenty people of age and young, and most of them are young and strong and able to eat when they are young and strong. There are not enough dumplings. In the end, they have made a total of nearly five covered dumplings.

Otherwise, if you don’t make dumplings normally, if you eat so many people, you can’t afford it if you always eat them.

With so many dumplings, even though there are many people working, it took almost two hours to make them. When the dumplings are finished, it will be almost five o'clock.

So I quickly boiled water and boiled dumplings, and cooked them together in the two pots, and they just happened to be cooked together and served.

People in Northeast China do not need to stir-fry when eating dumplings. It is enough to have dumplings. Then you can have a happy meal with some garlic sauce and vinegar.

"The eldest daughter-in-law, come and get a bottle of wine. It's rare that we all come back during the holidays. Let's have two drinks."

Mr. Zhou was particularly happy today. Seeing that the dumplings were served, he called Xu to get the wine.

"Dumpling wine, the more you drink it, the more you get, the better you get. This year's good harvest is good. I'm happy, drink some."

The old man was rarely so happy, so the Zhou Anbang brothers naturally had to have two drinks with his father.

Xu brought wine, Zhou Tiantian went to get a few wine glasses, and the other man poured wine and started to drink with a lot of fun.

The farmyard is busy from spring to autumn, especially in autumn, which can really make people tired. It is rare to have a quick time to drink a little while. The old lady is too lazy to care about her husband and son, so she will go with them.

"Come on, let's eat ours, don't care about them, just let them do whatever they want.

Sweet, try today's dumplings, cabbage and celery, and the taste is so good."

Zhou Tiantian was still sitting next to Mrs. Zhou. The old lady was afraid that Zhou Tiantian would eat slowly, so she kept picking dumplings in front of Zhou Tiantian.

"Milk, I have enough food, don't have to pick up so much for me." Zhou Tiantian saw that she was almost piled up in a hill, so she waved her hand quickly.

The dumplings are quite delicious. Han Caiying's filling skills are very good. The saltiness is light and moderate. The umami flavor of celery and cabbage is brought up. The meat is not fishy. It really makes you feel fragrant when you bite it.

Zhou Tiantian likes to eat it very much, but she doesn’t have that big appetite. How can she eat the pile of dumplings in front of her that look like a hill?

"Eat more, and you'll have a lot of time after eating.

Look at your cousin and the others, who aren’t eating with their cheeks? Can’t they grow tall and big? You have to learn a little too."

Old Mrs. Zhou doesn’t care about that. She is not afraid of her granddaughter eating too much, but she is afraid that her granddaughter will not be full.

Zhou Tiantian looked at the dumplings like a hill in front of her, then looked at her cousin who was eating like a wind and clouds, and suddenly she was covered in black.

In fact, her appetite is not too small, otherwise would she be so chubby? It is because of this that she deliberately eats less so that everyone will look at her novelty as soon as she goes out.

It is really rare to see a child as chubby, round and cute as her in the past. Anyone who sees her wants to squeeze her a few times.

However, today's dumplings are so delicious, eating two more shouldn't be a big deal. So Zhou Tiantian added two more dumplings to her usual appetite, so she didn't dare to eat more.

When Mrs. Zhou saw that Zhou Tiantian had put down her chopsticks, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

"What's wrong with Tianbao? Why is the appetite worse than before recently? Look at the two bites you eat, it's like feeding a cat. How can you feel uncomfortable?"

The old lady was worried, fearing that her younger granddaughter had a bad appetite.

"Milk, I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with it." Zhou Tiantian explained with a smile, "I'm full, really."

Although he looks very cute now and he doesn't want anyone to see him, Zhou Tiantian doesn't plan to keep doing this and still needs to control her.

Otherwise, if you get fatter, you won’t be good-looking or stupid. She doesn’t expect to lose weight. As long as you maintain your current state, you can wait a few years to grow older and you will naturally lose weight.

When Mrs. Zhou saw that Zhou Tiantian was in good condition and didn’t seem to be sick, she felt relieved, “Well, I’ll leave you a plate of dumplings later. If you are hungry at night, tell me, let me heat up the milk for you.”

This old lady loves her granddaughter so much that she loves her daughter. Only Zhou Tiantian has the right to have a midnight snack in the whole Zhou family.

Otherwise, Zhou Tiantian is chubby, there is a grandmother who is afraid that her granddaughter will be hungry all day long and is dedicated to feeding her.

Zhou Tiantian was so amused that her grandmother was planning to feed her into a fat pig?

"My mother, I'm really full and I'm not hungry at night. I'd better keep it for my grandfather, uncle and others tomorrow morning and go up the mountain to work."

Although there are so many dumplings tonight, everyone is quite able to eat them, and there is actually not much left in this meal.

Generally speaking, the delicious food in the village house is important for the elderly and the strong labor force to eat. Unlike later generations, the children are all concerned.

During the chat between the grandparents and grandchildren, everyone had almost finished eating. The master and the others drank a bottle of wine, and they were all a little drunk. Mr. Zhou's face was flushed and he sat there and kept smiling.

When Mrs. Zhou saw this, she gave her husband a laugh and cry, "Look at your promising prospect."

After dinner, everyone sat together and chatted, and they could not talk about the marriage of the younger generation.

Zhou Yongping has made a marriage appointment. Today he went to his partner's house to deliver holiday gifts. He stayed at his partner's house for lunch and discussed the wedding date.

"My mother, the Lin family asks us, set the wedding day at the end of the winter month or the beginning of the twelfth lunar month?"

"I think it's scheduled to be the end of the winter month, don't be the twelfth lunar month, it's too cold in the twelfth lunar month.

The 28th day of the winter month is good. It just happened to be around January 1, and it was all holidays and there was time." Old Mrs. Zhou calculated and decided on this day.
Chapter completed!
