Chapter 21 Making Dumplings
On the way back to Master's house, I stopped by and asked my senior sister Fan Ting to come home for dinner in the evening.
After resting for a while, He Yuzhu and his wife began to prepare dumplings.
"Master's wife, I bought a handful of leeks at noon and chopped a cabbage. Let's make dumplings with leek meat and cabbage meat." He Yuzhu said to the teacher's wife while holding a handful of leeks.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll just fill it with two kinds of fillings." The teacher's wife returned.
He Yuzhu took out the pork belly and started to chop the stuffing.
"Zhuzi, why are you chopping so much meat?" the master's wife said when she saw He Yuzhu chopping a large piece of pork belly.
"Put more meat in it to make it more delicious. Besides, there are many of us." He Yuzhu replied.
He Yuzhu chops the stuffing, and the wife mixes the noodles.
Everything is ready. Fan Yao is back from school, and her senior sister Fan Ting is also back.
"Senior sister, why didn't my brother-in-law come over?" He Yuzhu asked.
"What else can we do? They are work safety workers. How can they be on time? They work overtime in the office." Fan Ting replied.
My senior brother-in-law is Zhou Jianye, the deputy director of the Industrial Safety Office. He served in the military, and during the founding of the People's Republic of China, he became a worker in the field of work safety. Live up to your own expectations and have a bright future.
"Then you can send some to him later." He Yuzhu said.
"Let's talk about it later," Fan Ting said.
A group of people started making dumplings, Yuyu and Xiaohu also joined in the fun, and soon their faces were covered with flour. Making everyone laugh.
The mistress gave each of them a small piece of dough before sending them away.
Not long after, the master came back and the dumplings were out of the pot. For the first pot, He Yuzhu took several large lunch boxes and packed them. He handed them to the senior sister and said, "Senior sister, you go and deliver them to your brother-in-law first."
"It's too much. Just bring him a lunch box and it will be enough for him to eat." The senior sister said when she saw the lunch box handed over by He Yuzhu.
"There are also people on duty in the institute. You take one, and my brother-in-law will have a taste." He Yuzhu said.
Fan Ting took her lunch box, got on her bicycle and went straight to the Industrial Safety Office, arriving soon.
When Fan Ting walked in, the worker An on duty saw her and said hello: "Sister-in-law is here, bringing food to Director Zhou."
"Yes, Xiao Zhao, have you eaten?" Fan Ting asked.
"Let's go eat now. Director Zhou is in the office." Xiao Zhao said.
"There are dumplings made at home. Take them and share them with others. It's impossible to be full. Let everyone have a taste." Fan Ting took out a lunch box and handed the rest to Xiao Zhao.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I haven't eaten dumplings in a long time." Xiao Zhao said.
"Be polite to my sister-in-law." Fan Ting said.
Seeing Fan Ting entering Zhou Jianye's office, others rushed forward and started fighting.
Zhou Jianye heard someone coming in and looked up to see Fan Ting.
"Why are you here so late?" Zhou Jianye asked.
"You know it's late. What time is it? Have you eaten?" Fan Ting said angrily.
"Oops, I forgot when I got busy. I'm going to eat right away. I'll make sure to eat on time next time." Zhou Jianye said.
"Next time, okay, I'll bring you food." Fan Ting said.
"Come, let me see what delicious food you can give me." Zhou Jianye said.
"Hey, dumplings, I was just thinking about this one." Zhou Jianye couldn't wait to pick one up and stuff it into his mouth. My mouth is full of oil after eating.
"It's made with cabbage and pork, and there's so much meat in it. It's so fragrant." Zhou Jianye said.
"There is also leek meat, mixed with the two kinds." Fan Ting said.
"Have you eaten? Let's eat something together?" Zhou Jianye asked.
"I haven't eaten it. It was brought to you right after it came out of the pot. I'll go back to eat it later. You can eat it yourself." Fan Ting said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone knocking on the door. When he opened the door, he saw it was Xiao Zhao.
"Sister-in-law, I brought you lunch boxes. They have been cleaned. Comrades want me to represent them. Thank you, sister-in-law." Xiao Zhao said.
"Be polite to my sister-in-law. Are the dumplings delicious? If they are delicious, my sister-in-law will make them for you next time." Fan Ting replied.
"It's delicious, especially delicious. It's all meat." Xiao Zhao said, "Sister-in-law, I won't disturb you anymore."
Xiao Zhao said goodbye with a wink, went out and closed the door.
"How much did you bring?" Zhou Jianye asked, looking at several lunch boxes.
"There's a big pot, no counting. Zhu Zhu packed up the first pot of dumplings and asked me to deliver them. He said there were too few and you couldn't eat them." Fan Ting said.
"It's really like this. I'm working overtime. It's very tiring. I can't eat alone."
"Zhuzi is still thinking of me." Zhou Jianye said.
"As long as you know, remember to light the pillars. If he has something to do in the future, you can help him."
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I'm going back first." Fan Ting picked up the lunch box and said.
Zhou Jianye sent Fan Ting out, watched Fan Ting get on her bicycle, and shouted: "It's dark, please slow down."
Fan Ting returned to Tao's house, put down her bicycle and entered the house.
"Senior sister, you are back. The dumplings are still hot. Come over and eat quickly." He Yuzhu said when he saw Fan Ting coming back.
A group of people had a wonderful meal of dumplings.
Since my senior brother-in-law was on duty at the institute, my senior sister did not go home and stayed at her parents' house at night.
