Crossing the Book of Eighty Years: The Sweet Daughter-in-law of a Mountain Man

Chapter 660 Absentmindedness
He remembered that his eldest sister cooked it this way once.

If you cook it that way, the dumpling skin will not taste bad.

Xia Xue said: "I don't know. If the eldest sister is willing to cook it like this, that's fine."

Xia Kai said: "Then let's wrap it up this way now. If the filling is not enough later, I will cut off the dumpling skin and leave all the stuffing inside for me to eat."

Xia Xue said: "You glutton, when Mrs. Xia didn't give us anything to eat, eating a sweet potato made me feel really good."

Xia Kai: "The life was really miserable at that time. I never want to live like that again. Fortunately, we have such a good life with our eldest sister."

Xia Xue said: "Yes, we follow the eldest sister and we have such a good life now. Without the eldest sister, we would not have the good life now."

Xia Ning didn't expect that her younger siblings were still talking about this kind of topic!
She came over and asked, "Are your dumplings ready?"

Xia Kai said: "Sister, do you think the dumplings I made look good?"

Xia Ning took a look and said, "When you make dumplings like this, when you put them into the pot, the meat and dumplings will separate!"

Xia Kai asked: "Why?"

Xia Ning: "Because your dumplings don't have all the meat in them, and when they hit the water, all the meat will fall out. Think about it, a pot of dumplings is no longer called dumplings, it's just a mess, with meat fillings flying everywhere. The dumpling skin is still the dumpling skin, the dumpling meat is all in the soup and you can’t tell them apart.”

Xia Kai scratched his head: "Is that so? What should we do now?"

Xia Ning asked: "Have you finished everything?"

Xia Kai said: "Not yet, I will take care of these few."

Xia Ning: "I'll cook these for you later."

Xia Kai frowned.

Xia Xue covered her mouth and snickered: "That's right, I'll give you what you make, and I'll make what I make for me. Wait a minute, just drink the soup and watch me eat the dumplings."

Isn't that bad?
Xia Kai asked: "Sister, is there no way to solve it?"

Xia Ning: "It's not impossible to solve it. How about you take apart the dumplings and wrap them again."

Xia Kai wanted to eat delicious dumplings, but it would be different if all the meat fillings came out and were cooked in the water.

Anyway, he absolutely believed what the eldest sister said: "Okay, I'll unpack it again. Sister, please teach me."

Xia Ning: "When you wrapped the first one, didn't you do it very well?"

Xia Kai said with a smile: "Yes, the first one was wrapped very well, and I suddenly got smart and wanted to wrap more meat fillings."

Xia Xue laughed at him: "He is just careful and prepared to do something big. Who knows that stealing a chicken will not lose a lot of rice. As a person, you should not be opportunistic. You think you are a little clever, but your cleverness turns out to be a mistake."

Xia Xue is also very good at speaking now, because she has been following Xia Ning, and what Xia Ning said has affected their language and conversation to a certain extent.

Xia Kai said: "I know, I won't do this again in the future."

Xia Ning: "If you know your mistakes and you can correct them, there is no greater good. If you know you have made a mistake, you should correct it. Once you correct it, you can use a little cleverness, but there are some things that are not good for you after you use a little cleverness. So when you decide When you do anything, you must analyze it clearly, understand? You have to think about the consequences after doing it."

Xia Ning never scolded her brothers or sisters, nor criticized them. She would only talk to them some truth, teach them methods, analyze right and wrong, and how to reasonably reduce their losses.

Xia Kai nodded and said, "Sister, I understand."

Xia Ning: "Then cook it well. When you're done, tell me and I'll cook it for you. I'll make sure you eat it deliciously."

Even if Xia Kai is not good at wrapping now, she will still help with the processing when cooking, but she wants Xia Kai to know that some things should not be greedy, as long as they are just right.

Xia Ning went to work again.

Xia Xue and Xia Kai were left to continue making dumplings.

This time Xia Kai was more serious. He hired one and asked Xia Xue: "Second sister, do you think this is okay? Is this one qualified?"

Xia Xue took a look and said, "I'm barely qualified."

Xia Kai asked: "Are the requirements so high? It's just a dumpling. It will be eaten in your mouth after a while." It’s also a mess.”

Her eldest sister said this, and Xia Xue now directly used it to talk about Xia Kai.

Xia Kai: "..."

I can't stand it!
……

Xia Caixia had no energy. When she was working, her eyes wandered. Suddenly there was a "click" and the needle broke.

Fortunately, it didn't hit my hand, but it made a very loud sound.

Aunt Ah Cai quickly asked: "What's wrong? What happened? Are you absent-minded?"

Xia Caixia quickly said: "No, the needle is broken."

Xia Ning just came out of the kitchen and saw Xia Caixia looking restless, so Xia Caixia said that the needle was broken, so she came over to take a look.

The needle plate was bent.

Xia Ning: "The needle plate needs to be taken out and knocked with a small hammer. It won't work anymore."

Xia Caixia's face wrinkled up.

Xia Ning said: "I'm glad I didn't hit my hand. If I hit a bone, I wouldn't have made a big hole."

A trace of fear flashed in Xia Caixia's eyes. Yes, if she had just pricked her hand, would she still be able to use it?

The thought startled her.

Xia Ning said: "Use a screwdriver to take out the needle plate first, and I will repair it."

Xia Caixia took out the needle plate, and Xia Ning knocked on it with a hammer to flatten the uneven needle plate.

Xia Caixia squatted beside and looked at Xia Ning.

Xia Ning: "Did something happen? You are restless. Be careful. This is not a joke. It is you who is hurting your bones!"

Xia Caixia felt that nothing could be hidden from Xia Ning.

She didn't know who to talk to about her troubles, so she lowered her voice and said, "You don't know, my dad just came over."

Xia Caixia paused here.

Xia Ning knew that Xia Zhengqiu had just arrived and asked, "What next?"

Xia Caixia said: "My dad said that Zhou Xiu went to my house to propose marriage."

Zhou Xiu?

Xia Ning once fought for the custody of her younger siblings and asked Zhou Xiu for help.

"Why did she go to your house? To propose marriage?"

Xia Caixia looked at Xia Ning with incredible eyes: "If I didn't know that you have been busy in the factory these two days, I would have doubted whether you went back to the village."

Xia Ning: "Her family has a son who has just reached age. You are also at this age. Don't people in the village start talking about marriage at this time? She can come to your house inexplicably. I We can only speculate in this regard.”

Xia Caixia said: "You guessed it right, that's what it looks like."

Xia Ning: "That's okay, it's just a matter of whether you have this person in your heart."

Xia Caixia frowned and looked at Xia Ning: "Others don't know, but you still don't know?"

Xia Ning said with a smile: "Actually, women are driven by their emotions. They always think that first love is the best. Of course, women prefer the feeling of first love. However, I think Brother Zhou is not bad, and he may have good development in the future. As for Zhou Xiu I don’t know very well about my son.”
