Chapter 583 Stealing straw!

Upon hearing this mission from her grandma, Zaizai obediently held Sister Xiaoxia's hand and started to walk out. Then she covered her face with her little hands and quietly approached the neighbor's wall.

"What are you doing?"

"Ah? I'm a thief!"

Looking at the little glutinous rice dumpling that was covering her face with both hands, but still unable to cover it up, Lu Xiaoxia really had a hard time holding back her laughter...

Who would cover their face with their hands as a thief? Then why are you stealing?!

And it’s obvious that he can’t cover his face with his hands, almost half of them are exposed!

Besides, we all live in the same neighborhood, and your little body is so obvious that no one would know it’s you, little Chengzi! Isn’t this all hard work in vain?

The corners of Lu Xiaoxia's mouth twitched again and again because she was suppressing laughter. Finally, she turned around and laughed silently. Then she turned back and pulled the little head on Zaizai's head with eyes full of doubts.

Tweet, quietly approaching the neighbor's courtyard door...

"Wow, the door is open. Should we tell him after we get the straw? Anyway, we have to close the door to sleep? Maybe there will be a thief~"

"Then what are you doing here now?"

The confused Zaizai tilted his head online.

It seems right, she is here to be a thief and steal straw~

"Then let's go~"

Taking steps that he thought he would come and go without a trace, leaving no trace, Zaizai walked into the neighbor's straw pile with some caution and clumsiness, then reached out and grabbed a bundle of straw, and began to work his way down.

Dragging.

!!!

Lu Xiaoxia was simply stunned. The bundle was as thick as an adult's waist when it reached the grass. Zaizai was only about 1/3 the size of a bundle of straw. Did he need to take such a big bundle?

She thought just pulling a few strands would be enough!

"Do you want to take so much!!!"

"Isn't it?"

Zaizai was panting from exhaustion and tilted his little head. Didn't he take so much?

"Is this a bundle? Forget it, let's get it home first!"

Zaizai worked hard and started dragging down the straw bundles. Then he suddenly thought of something and lost all his strength...

"What are you going to do? Keep taking it, don't take it, just this bundle is enough! Just... hmm?"

Lu Xiaoxia looked at Zaizai poking his butt into the open space where he had just pulled out a bundle of firewood and stuffing a fifty-cent note and the new watermelon candies he bought today. He was a little confused. What was he doing?

"What are you doing?"

"Mom said you can't take other people's things for free, but grandma said it would be good to steal someone's bundle of straw to celebrate the New Year, so if I secretly put some money in, it shouldn't be considered stolen, right?"

Lu Xiaoxia:???

What kind of weird logic is this?

According to traditional customs, you steal straw, but you don’t want to steal anything, so you give money to others?

It's okay.

It sounds very obedient too.

But it’s a bit strange, right?

But it doesn’t matter... everything they devil bastards say is right!

So the two children dragged a large bundle of straw on the ground and returned home with difficulty.

Liu Hongxing was picking up dried scallions in the courtyard at the moment, planning to put them into stuffing to make chopped green onions, but she saw the two children making such big moves!

"Oh, my God, how did you two get so much? Why don't you just pull two of them?"

"Isn't it a bundle?"

Zaizai just wanted to touch his face, but found that his little hands were black, so he put them down dryly, and then smiled at Mama.

"But Mom, I'm very obedient. You said you can't just take other people's things, but I did put 50 cents away~"

Liu Hongxing laughed.

The New Year custom is like this. Every household will buy straw from each other, so in fact it is not just taking other people's things casually, just joining in the fun.

But let her daughter give it to her. It doesn’t matter if the child has such a heart~

Just consider the fifty cents lost...

The sound of mincing meat fillings was heard constantly in the kitchen, and Liu Cuihua quickly chopped the donkey meat fillings and pork fillings.

She planned to make two kinds of dumplings with fillings tonight, one steamed dumplings stuffed with donkey meat, and one dumplings stuffed with pork and three delicacies.

This way the children can eat whatever they like without having to be picky.

Carrying two large iron basins as big as washbasins filled with meat fillings into the house, Liu Cuihua carried all the fillings and dough tables to the kang, and then put the dough that had been fermented under the kang quilt.

After pouring it onto the dough counter, he began to knead the dough vigorously.

"Mom, let me do it. You make the stuffing and I'll knead the dough."

Liu Guoqiang had just finished washing his hands, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to start kneading the dough. His mother's arm had never been very good. There were so many dumplings to make today, so he was the one to knead the dough.

"Okay, then you can do it. You are very energetic and the kneaded dough will be chewy."

"Mom, put it over there. I'll make the stuffing. Just wait and roll out the dough!"

Liu Guofu also hurriedly washed his hands, entered the house, and immediately snatched the work from his own mother's hands.

Liu Cuihua smiled with a look of helplessness but satisfaction, and then sat next to her and started waiting. As a result, Liu Guosheng came out again and took the rolling pin away from her hand?

"Come on, Mom, don't do any work during this Chinese New Year. How can we, the people like us, not be able to make dumplings?"

Liu Cuihua:......

"It's not that you can leave some work for me. I can't just sit here and watch during the Chinese New Year!"

"Look after the children, aren't there enough children for you to look after?"

Liu Guofu bared his teeth and smiled, saying in a mean tone.

"Mom~ If you think having children is not enough, I can do that too, Mom~"

Listening to his imitating Zaizai's tone of voice, Liu Cuihua's fists were really squeezed again and again...

Zaizai's little baby sounds like cute glutinous rice dumplings, but why does it sound like a smelly rag fished out of the sewer?

It has to be the kind that missed several eyes!

"You're celebrating Chinese New Year, don't force me to whip you..."

She really gritted her teeth and said this. Liu Cuihua glared at her little son whose cat was annoyed by the dog, and then she sat down on the kang with Zaizai in her arms and began to direct the children to work.

I have to say that it is good to have more people in the family. Even though we have to make hundreds of dumplings, the dumplings can be made faster if we have more hands. With two rolling pins used together, the dumplings can be rolled out very quickly!

Not to mention that there are many people who know how to make dumplings. Even Xiao Jing and Xiao Xia of their family can make a few. After a while, the corner space on the left side of the noodle table was filled.

Liu Cuihua took the bamboo steaming curtain on which the dumplings were placed, and then placed the dumplings neatly on it in circles.

"Zai Zai, remember, no matter where you make the dumplings from now on, you have to place them properly. If you don't put the dumplings around, it won't look good to have a baby, you know?"

"White dumplings are fat? Why are white dumplings fat?"
