Su Mian was so embarrassed that she pushed Su Jin Long away and ran home, “I’m going to help mom make dumplings!”
Su Jin Long scratched the back of his head and wondered; he just asked casually and his sister’s face was flushed like a monkey butt!
Su Mian washed her hands and entered the house, He Qin was rolling out dumpling wrappers on the table.
“Mother, I’m back, let’s wrap, and let father roll the wrapper in a while.” Su Mian picked up a dumpling wrapper and started making dumplings. She learned how to make dumplings with He Qin. Outsiders could never tell the difference when both the mother and her put their dumplings together.
He Qin was unable to conceal her happiness when she saw Su Mian coming back, and she looked at her a few times, “This time you didn’t lose much weight, later you have to eat more dumplings, I wrapped mixed meat!”
In this era, mixed meat was meat mixed with pork, beef and mutton, as well as several pieces of chopped scallion in it. But Su Mian really liked the dumplings He Qin made. In her previous life, after she went into the army, He Qin would make her dumplings every time she went home for holiday.
Su Mian blinked quickly and forced the tears back in. In her previous life, she was a picky eater, and the food in the high school cafeteria was not very oily. Every time Su Mian came back, she would lose a few catties.
At that time, the conditions were not good, He Qin lived frugally every month, and when Su Mian came back, she would still make her mixed meat dumplings. The family would have one meal first, and the rest was reserved for Su Mian.
Su Jin Long wanted to eat another one, but He Qin hit the back of his hand with chopsticks, “Your sister is going to take the college entrance exam, she often overuses her brain, don’t you snatch from her.”
In this life, the family conditions were good. Unexpectedly He Qin still wanted to wait for Su Mian to come back to eat together.
“Mother, you can just make Xiao Long a few dumplings when he wants to eat sometimes.”
“A few is never enough. He can eat up to 30 on his own now. When you eat dumplings, it means that the family is reunited. Dumplings will never taste good without you around!” He Qin was traditional, in her mind, eating dumplings meant the family was reunited.
Su Jin Long came in from behind and heard, “30 is not enough, I have to eat back more from last month’s!”
He Qin snorted and laughed, “Today there will be enough dumplings, you can go all out and eat, alright, hurry up and prepare the fire, we will steam the first pot as soon as we are done wrapping in a while.”
He Qin and Su Jiang Hai returned from the field at noon and hurriedly prepared dumplings, knowing that Su Mian would be back today,
There was heavy rain before this, and it was a good time for spring sowing. Every household worked day and night during this period of time. If they were to miss these few days, they might not have any seedlings even if they sowed them. It would be too late to regret it by then!
Su Jiang Hai washed his hands, entered the house and subconsciously picked up the rolling pin. Su Jiang Hai had a phlegmatic temperament. He didn’t usually cook, but he was able to help out in making dumplings. He was able to roll just enough dumpling wrappers for Su Mian and his wife.
“How is Captain Wei now?” Su Jiang Hai asked nonchalantly. Su Mian suddenly went to the army last time and he always felt something was wrong.
Su Mian’s hands, which were making dumplings, slowed down, but she quickly resumed making them again, her eyes curled with a smile, “Father, he’s pretty good, he was specially promoted to the battalion commander!”
“He was promoted for no reason?” Although Su Jiang Hai was honest, he was not stupid, he had already heard that the war in the South had been won.
Su Mian didn’t want to worry Su Jiang Hai. She didn’t plan to tell him that Wei Zhen Hui was severely injured as he had almost recovered now anyway. “He and Wu Feng are both heroes of this battle. They made first-class merit and even went to our school to make a report!”
“Really?” Although Su Jin Long was preparing the fire in the kitchen, his ears were already up when he heard about Wei Zhen Hui and Wu Feng. As soon as he heard that the two of them had made a first-class merit, he pushed the door and came in with excitement, with his big and sharp eyes lit up, “Brother-in-law and Instructor Wu have become the battle heroes?”
