Rebirth 96: Begin the life of a monster from kindergarten

"Xiao Chang, you're too slow in making the dumpling wrappers. I've already finished wrapping them and am just waiting for you!"

"How dare you say that? Look at the dumplings you made. They are clearly vegetable dumplings, not dumplings at all!"

"You can't blame me for this. It's because you didn't press the skin round enough!"

"Then you press the dough and I'll make the dumplings!"

"I do not!"

In front of the dough table, Shu Chang rubbed the rolling pin with both hands. After rubbing it twice, he reached out to adjust the position of the dough on the panel, and then rubbed it twice more vigorously. After a while, an oval dumpling skin with corners was formed.

Liu Yifei couldn't wait to take the dumpling skin, put it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully, her mouth turned back with a look of disgust.

Shu Chang learned his lesson and resolutely refused to look at Liu Yifei's face and directly picked up the next dough.

Opposite the two, Zhao Jinmai and Zhang Yixing were also doing the same job, but compared to the two novices Shu Chang and Liu Yifei, they were obviously much more familiar with it.

Zhang Yixing rubbed the rolling pin with one hand and turned the dough with the other hand. Soon a perfectly round dumpling skin was rolled out.

Zhao Jinmai was making dumplings nearby. Compared with Liu Yifei's vegetable dumplings, her dumplings looked like plump little ingots.

Hu Weishi and Chen Ruyi were cooking in the kitchen at the back. They would glance over here from time to time and then quickly turn their heads away.

After rolling out another pear-shaped dough, Shu Chang looked at Zhang Yixing with dissatisfaction and protested, "Zhang Yixing, can't you roll it slower? Are you afraid that I will learn it?"

Zhang Yixing chuckled and said, "If you want to be like me, you still need to practice for two years. Just use both hands to operate it, and go as slow as you want!"

Shu Chang snorted, stared at Zhang Yixing's technique for a few more seconds, and couldn't help but frowning more and more as he watched!
It seems so simple, but why won’t my hands obey me?

"Stupid Shuchang, let me teach you a way!"

Liu Yifei pinched out another vegetable ball, stood up and ran to the kitchen, and quickly took out a glass.

Pushing Shu Chang away from his seat, Liu Yifei picked up a large piece of dough and pressed it into a thin pancake with a rolling pin. Then she smiled proudly at Shu Chang, Zhang Yihang and Zhao Jinmai, and put the mouth of the glass cup hard on the dough. Then she lifted the cup and reached out to take out a small round pancake from the large dough.

"How is it? Is it round?" Liu Yifei showed off the dumpling skin she made, and then continued to use the cup to "pop" on the dough. Soon she made a pile of dough with amazing efficiency.

"How about it, Yihang, Xiaomai, we are faster than you!"

Zhao Jinmai smiled and praised: "Yifei, you are so smart, this is indeed much faster!"

"Tsk!" Zhang Yixing curled his lips and continued to roll out the dough, saying, "This kind of dough has no soul!"

"We are competing. Why do you care whether it has a soul or not?" Liu Yifei protested.

Zhang Yixing laughed and said, "That's fine. Even if you can make the dumpling wrappers faster, you still have to wrap them. If you can wrap them this fast, then we both admit defeat!"

Liu Yifei was suddenly in trouble. She turned her head and looked at Shu Chang for help. Shu Chang tilted his head, looking like he had no choice.

Picking up a piece of dough angrily, Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and said, "At least in the process of rolling the dough, we won!"

"Okay, you win, you win, that's it!" Zhang Yixing sighed helplessly. "Okay!" Liu Yifei ignored Zhang Yixing's perfunctory response and took the victory directly. Then, while making dumplings with Shuchang, she wondered, "Making dumplings is so troublesome. Don't you two find it annoying? It would be more convenient to just buy some outside!"

Zhang Yixing rolled his eyes. "In life, food and clothing are the two most important things. I think it's interesting to put some effort into eating!"

At this point, Zhang Yixing suddenly became interested and started to show off some of the little things he did when he was a kid, such as roasting grasshoppers and stealing cucumbers. Liu Yifei and Shu Chang were stunned by what they heard.

Liu Yifei asked Zhao Jinmai in disbelief: "Xiaomai, is what he said true? Can you really catch grasshoppers and roast them on a tile?"

Zhao Jinmai hummed and explained, "Kids at that time dared to put anything in their mouths. But they were also hardy, so I've never heard of any problems from eating. Hey, when summer comes, if you two can come over, I can take you to catch grasshoppers and cicadas. Compared to eating them, catching them is more fun and interesting!"

"Okay, we will definitely come then!" Shu Chang agreed with a smile.

"Yeah!" Liu Yifei looked at Shu Chang in surprise and nodded.

I don’t know why, but Liu Yifei always felt that her good sister today exuded a sense of relaxation that she had never had before.

It's like a pupa carefully hiding under the leaves, and suddenly it spreads its wings and turns into a butterfly!
Several people continued to make dumplings while reading the novel. Shu Chang seemed very interested in making dumplings and kept asking Zhao Jinmai for advice on the technique of pinching the edges. By the end, her dumplings looked better than Liu Yifei's.

The daytime passed quickly, and when night fell, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang left.

After returning to their residence, the two of them fell on the soft bed together, forming two big characters.

Turning her head to look at the smile on Shu Chang's face, Liu Yifei wondered, "Xiao Chang, you seem a little strange today, are you okay?"

Shu Chang shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, I'm fine, I had a lot of fun today!"

Liu Yifei said "oh", looked at her sisters carefully, and suddenly asked, "Are you admitting defeat?"

Hearing her best friend say this, Shu Chang turned around and said cheerfully, "I never thought about competing. There's no such thing as winning or losing!"

Putting the back of his hand on the back of his head, Shu Chang continued:

"In the past, I secretly liked Zhang Yixing and fantasized that one day he would like me! But now I don't think so. I still like him, but it's just like when I was in school, girls often liked an outstanding senior. It's just a beautiful thing!

I can now bravely say to Zhang Yixing, I like you very much, no need to be cautious! However, there is no need to say such words anymore! Even if he does not belong to me, I will not regret it, and I will not worry about gains and losses. He is just a good boy that I happen to like. Liking him is also a very beautiful experience for me!
And Xiaomai, looking at her, I feel like I see another me, she is the image of my dreams! Her parents are harmonious, and she has good grades. She doesn't need to face the complexity and helplessness of reality like us, there are excellent boys who love her and protect her from the wind and rain!
These are two people I like very much. Naturally, I also hope that they can continue to be like this! I like them both, and I like this kind of beauty. Of course, I like myself more now! "

Liu Yifei stared at her good sister talking freely. It seemed to be the first time she saw such confidence.

"What are your plans next?" Liu Yifei asked curiously.

"Next?" Shu Chang thought for a moment, then suddenly turned around and pressed on Liu Yifei, pinching Liu Yifei's nose and chuckling, "Next I'm going to take revenge on you for always touching me!"

Liu Yifei shuddered. If she was pushed by the weak Shu Chang, it would be a disgrace to her! So she decisively reached out and grabbed Shu Chang's chest.

Shu Chang screamed, sat up, and spat, "Xixi, how can you be such a hooligan!"

"You're such a rebel. Have you ever seen anyone more rascal than you?" Liu Yifei rolled her eyes, laughed and rushed over, wrestling with Shu Chang! (End of this chapter)
