At a suitable time, it is a very emotional thing for a family to gather together to make dumplings.
Although they are not a family yet, the four of them gathered around the stone table. Li Yi was flanked by Ms. Chen San and Zeng Zuimo. Wan Ruoqing sat opposite him, talking and making dumplings, and it was fun.
Miss Zeng didn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers, so she naturally knew how to make dumplings. Miss Chen San was born in a family of officials, and she has always been a rich lady, and she has never done cooking. After Yi and Wan Ruoqing made a few wraps, they quickly made them look decent.
Wan Ruoqing's dumpling is naturally the most beautiful among the four, each dumpling is almost exactly the same, compared with Zeng Zui Mo's strange shape, it's like heaven and earth.
Li Yi looked at the results on her table, and sighed: "If you pack it like this, it will all fall apart in a while, who wants to eat it..."
Zeng Zuimo looked at other people's bags on the table, then at his own, his pretty face blushed slightly, and said in a low voice: "I made it myself, just eat it..."
Li Yi couldn't stand it anymore. After wrapping one, he grabbed her hand and put the dough and stuffing, "Look, like this, first knead the two ends, then fold the back dough inward, and the front one." Knead together…”
"You, let me go..." Zeng Zuimo looked up in panic, and saw Wan Ruoqing and Mrs. Chen were both looking at her with a smile, his heart was pounding, his face turned redder, and he said in a low voice, "I, I Learned..."
Li Yi clapped his hands, looked at her, and said, "Then you pack one and let me see."
After a while, seeing a dumpling that was worse than before being baked in her hands, Li Yi rubbed the center of his eyebrows habitually, and said helplessly, "Forget it, you can wrap it however you want..."
"Pfft..."
Xiao Cui, who was watching from the side, laughed, pointed at Li Yi, and said loudly: "Mr. Li, you have an eye on your forehead..."
Only then did Li Yi realize that he forgot that there was still flour on his hands just now. Xiaocui and Xiaozhu giggled from behind. Miss Chen San and Wan Ruoqing looked at him with chuckles on their faces. Girl, the smile is even more unscrupulous.
Li Yi quickly wiped her face with his hand, and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Keep laughing..."
"ah!"
After a scream, the expression on Zeng Zuimo's face was stunned at first, and then he showed a look of shame and anger. He dipped his palm in flour, and rushed towards Li Yi with his teeth and claws...
However, with her skill, how could she be Li Yi's opponent? Li Yi turned around to avoid her attack, and wiped her face on the other side of her face, and said with a smile: "This is symmetrical. Another piece, you can go directly to Goulan to sing opera... "
"Ah, I'm going to kill you!"
Wan Ruoqing and Ms. Chen San continued to make dumplings, but there were two chasing figures in the courtyard, and there was a lot of jumping...
…
The consequence of the flour war was that Wan Ruoqing and Miss Chen San were making dumplings outside, while Li Yi and Miss Zeng were fetching water to wash their faces inside.
With Li Yi's skill, although he can guarantee that he will not get a little bit of it on his body, he can't really do this. If he annoys Miss Zeng, his ending will be even worse.
"It's all your fault!" Zeng Zuimo wiped his face with a towel, threw it into the water, glared at Li Yi, and said shamefully.
She is a woman, and she was fighting with him in the yard just now. Sister Ruoqing is fine, she is used to it anyway, Madam Chen also saw it, isn't this a joke for her...
Li Yi wet the towel, wrung it dry, wiped his face, and did not argue very sensiblely.
"You, that's mine..." Zeng Zuimo's eyes widened, and he pointed to the towel on his hand. Thinking that this was not the first time, he waved his hand again and said, "Forget it..."
Then he looked at Li Yi curiously, and asked, "What's going on with you and Mrs. Chen?"
Li Yi put down the towel, stood up, with a complicated expression on his face, and sighed: "It's a long story..."
The matter is not complicated, but it is a bit difficult to say it.
Although the incident twenty years ago was not caused by him, it had an inseparable relationship with him. Every time he thinks about the current situation, he feels extremely uncomfortable.
"This, how, how..." Zeng Zuimo stood there in a daze, with a dazed expression on his face, and whispered: "Madam Chen..."
She is a woman, so she can empathize with her. For women, this is such a cruel thing. Twenty years ago, Mrs. Chen was still as old as Xiaocui, maybe two years younger than Xiaocui. So far—twenty years.
Thinking of the very kind and nice Mrs. Chen, who had such an experience, and her gray hair, unexpectedly overnight...
Her eyes were moist, she looked at Li Yi, and suddenly became angry, "You..."
Li Yi clarified: "It's not me, I wasn't there at that time."
Zeng Zuimo gritted his teeth and said, "Anyway, you men are all the same. It's not a good thing."
Li Yi shook his head and said, "I'll say it again, some men do like to start messing around and give up, but they are them, I am me, and I will not start messing up and give up."
"You are!"
"I'm not."
"that is!"
"Can you say that again?"
"that is!"
Snapped!
Li Yi slapped her buttocks, "What else?"
Zeng Zuimo was stunned in place, a numb feeling came from a certain part of his body, but it was more of shame, his pretty face was glowing, and even the roots of his ears were red.
She looked up at Li Yi, and said bitterly, "That's it!"
Snapped!
Li Yi looked at him and asked again: "Is it?"
"yes!"
Snapped!
"Yes, that is!"
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
…
"No, no, no..." That tingling feeling came over and over again, her face was blushing as if she was about to bleed, and her voice was already crying.
Snapped!
Another numb feeling came, she raised her head and looked at Li Yi in disbelief, "I, I can't even say no..."
Li Yi looked down at her, and said with some embarrassment: "Sorry, it went well, why don't you say 'no' again?"
…
People are not sages and sages, and there is nothing wrong with it. It is not too late to make up for it. The prodigal son will not change his money when he returns, and another village will be brightened in the dark. It is a good thing to be able to recognize his mistakes. In this regard, Li Yi has to learn from Ms. Zeng.
"Miss, why is your face so red?" When the two came out of the backyard, Xiao Cui looked at Zeng Zuimo in surprise and asked.
Li Yi explained: "The water is too hot, your lady has a thin skin, so she turned red."
Xiaocui nodded half-understanding, she didn't know if the water was hot or not, she knew that Miss would turn red every time she was alone with Mr. Li.
Wan Ruoqing looked at the dumplings on the plate, and said, "It's just us, it's almost done."
While Li Yi was helping to clean up the trays on the stone table, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
"Open the door!"
"Open the door for me!"
"Li Yi, don't hide and keep quiet, I know you're inside!"
…
Li Yi frowned, patted the flour on his hands, and walked towards the door.
Miss Chen San was startled, and murmured: "Second brother?"
At a certain moment, the knocking on the door stopped abruptly. Chen Chong took a few steps back, looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in front of him, and asked, "Who are you?"
The dozen or so guards behind him also looked at the two men vigilantly, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
A man said blankly: "I want to ask, who are you and what are you doing here?"
crunch...
The courtyard door opened from the inside, and Li Yi walked out from inside.
"Young master." The two men looked at him at the same time, lowering their heads slightly.
Li Yi nodded, then looked down, and asked, "I don't know what is the matter for the adults to come here?"
Chen Chong looked angry, and asked: "You still dare to ask me, where is my third sister, hand her over!"
"Second Brother." Ms. Chen San hurried out from inside and said, "Second Brother, I'm fine."
Chen Chong looked at her nervously, and asked, "Miaoyu, did this bastard treat you well..."
Li Yi looked at him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and clenched his fists. He didn't provoke anyone or provoke anyone. How could he become a jerk? If Miss San was not here, I would have to let this guy know what a jerk is today!
Chen Chong glanced at Li Yi, supported Miss Chen San, and said, "Third Sister, let's go home with Second Brother, the house is ready..."
"I can't go now." Miss Chen San shook her head.
Chen Chong frowned and said, "Don't mess around, go home with Second Brother, the guests are waiting at home."
Miss Chen San shook her head again, and said, "Miaoyu just made dumplings here, why don't Second Brother stay here too, let's eat some together."
"Dumplings?" Chen Chong's expression froze, and he asked, "Dumplings made by the third sister?"
He couldn't believe it. Since she was a child, the third sister had never done these things. As the daughter of the Chen family, who would dare to let her do these rough jobs by herself
Even as an elder brother, he has never eaten... dumplings made by her own hands.
Ms. Chen San raised her hands that were stained with flour, and said with some embarrassment: "I just learned it, and I can't wrap it well..."
Chen Chong stood there in a daze. After thinking for a while, he nodded slightly.
"Then—then eat a little."
