Chapter 23 The Dumplings He Made

Zhu Linsen glanced at Ji Feiyan, then at Grandma Ji who was looking forward to, suddenly his heart softened, he nodded in a strange way, and smiled at Grandma Ji: "Grandma, then I will interrupt."

Grandma Ji was really happy, and she took Zhu Linsen's hand and walked in: "What are you talking about? If you want to come, grandma won't be happy in time."

Zhu Linsen followed Grandma Ji into the kitchen. The kitchen and the dining room were integrated and very spacious. As soon as Zhu Linsen entered, he saw half-wrapped dumplings and steaming hot water in the pot.

There are also rich dishes on the table.

"Grandma, sit down, I'm going to make dumplings." Ji Feiyan said, picked up the wrapped dumplings, and put them into the steaming pot.

Grandma Ji was not idle either, she sat down and made dumplings after washing her hands.

Ji Feiyan sat down quickly and said, "Grandma, you should rest, I'll be ready."

"You know how to make dumplings?" Zhu Linsen immediately looked at Ji Feiyan with wide eyes.

"Don't talk about making dumplings, look at the dishes on the table, more than half of them are non-words." Grandma Ji said proudly.

Now Zhu Linsen was really shocked, because she grew up so big, her parents never let her cook, she didn't expect that Ji Feiyan could cook.

"Sister, can't wait to try my cooking skills?" Ji Feiyan looked at Zhu Linsen's astonished eyes and smiled.

He started to make dumplings skillfully, Zhu Linsen stared at his hands intently, and sighed again: "You are amazing!"

Ji Feiyan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he looked up at her and asked, "Sister, do you want to try?"

"But I won't."

"I'll teach you." Ji Feiyan said, he had already taken a dumpling wrapper and put it in front of Zhu Linsen.

"Nonsense, Sensen is a guest, how can you let her make dumplings for you?" Grandma Ji disagreed.

"It's okay, grandma, I think making dumplings is fun, I want to try it." Zhu Linsen smiled at Grandma Ji, then got up and washed his hands.

She dried her hands and sat back on her seat, picked up the dumpling wrapper, and asked with a studious look, "How do you wrap it?"

"Put some stuffing in the middle first."

"And then?" Zhu Linsen quickly completed the first step and asked immediately.

Ji Feiyan stretched out his hand in front of her, and said, "Look carefully at how I wrap it."

Zhu Linsen looked at it carefully, and then imitated it. After a while, she looked at the ugly dumpling in her hand with some embarrassment, and said awkwardly, "I seem to have failed..."

Ji Feiyan leaned over to take a look, and laughed out loud: "Senior sister, your skill is worse than when I first learned it."

"Fei Yan, did you say that? I think Sensen wrapped it well." Grandma Ji also poked her head over to take a look, and said with a smile.

Zhu Linsen blushed from being praised, thinking that grandma, you are really tolerant of guests!
"I'll try another one!" Zhu Linsen didn't give up.

After a while, Zhu Linsen asked Ji Feiyan for help in a panic: "How should I wrap it here? Why are my wrinkles so big?"

Ji Feiyan leaned over and taught her to pull out a wrinkle with his hands, and said seriously: "That's it, yes, try again..."

Grandma Ji looked at the two of them and narrowed her eyes with a smile: "Fei Yan, the dumplings are cooked."

Ji Feiyan stood up quickly and went to fill up the dumplings in the pot.

The three of them sat at the dining table together. In fact, Zhu Linsen was still full, but when she thought that the dishes and dumplings on the table were Ji Feiyan's handiwork, she felt greedy.

At this moment, Lu Lu finally remembered her, a person she hadn't seen for a long time, and called her.Zhu Linsen glanced at it and quickly pressed the reject button, then quickly opened WeChat and sent a message: I met an acquaintance, I will go there later, you guys play first.

Ji Feiyan glanced at her calmly, picked up a dumpling for her, and asked, "Why is Senior Sister here today?"

"I heard that someone was having a party nearby, so Lu Lu and Xiao Yu brought me here to play together." Zhu Linsen said, adding, "I was planning to go to the store to buy a pack of tissues, but I didn't expect to meet you grandmother."

"Really, that's a coincidence." Ji Feiyan cast a meaningful glance at Zhu Linsen, with a teasing smile on his lips.

Zhu Linsen suddenly remembered that Ji Feiyan appeared from behind her just now, and he was still holding vinegar in his hand, that is to say, she had actually passed by the store a long time ago...

Her face slowly turned red, but she didn't intend to delve into what Ji Feiyan meant, so she lowered her head and ate the dumplings pretending to be calm.

"How about it, are the dumplings made by Feiyan delicious?" Grandma Ji asked with a smile.

"Delicious!" Zhu Linsen nodded like a pounding garlic.What she said was true, this dumpling was better than any dumpling she had eaten before!
Both Grandma Ji and Ji Feiyan smiled because of her words.

"Grandma Ji, Fei Yan, are you home? My mother asked me to bring you some sea cucumber soup." At this moment, a familiar female voice sounded from outside the kitchen.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Linsen saw Ji Yuetong walking in with a cup of soup with a smile on his face.

When Ji Yuetong saw Zhu Linsen, the smile on Ji Yuetong's face obviously froze, but she quickly showed a surprised expression and asked, "So there are guests today?"

Grandma Ji stood up and said with a smile, "Yes, it's rare for Feiyan to have friends over. Yuetong, your mother is too polite. I'll ask Feiyan to send you some dumplings later."

"No need, we're all done eating." Ji Yuetong smiled, but her eyes fell on Zhu Linsen. After a while, she asked in surprise, "You...you are that...Zhu...Zhu..."

"Zhu Linsen." Seeing that Ji Yuetong couldn't remember her name for a moment, Zhu Linsen simply smiled and announced his family name.

"Yes, I remember that you and I were in the same class, you and Fei Yan...you..." Ji Yuetong became a little uneasy.The girl in front of her was clearly the person she saw in the billiard room that day, but she never expected that it was Zhu Linsen!
The female No. [-] student praised by everyone in Jiang City is a good student and an obedient student in everyone's eyes. Even if Ji Feiyan became the No. [-] student in the college entrance examination like her, she felt that the two of them were incompatible.

But it turned out that she was the person Ji Feiyan liked!

Ji Yuetong suddenly understood the reason why Ji Feiyan took the college entrance examination early. It turned out that he was for this person, to follow in her footsteps, to reach her earlier...

But Zhu Linsen was obviously the same age as her, and two years older than Ji Feiyan. She once thought that it was age that prevented her from meeting Ji Feiyan. It turned out that... in front of the person he really likes, age is not a problem at all!
"We are in the same school now." Seeing Ji Yuetong's expression changed, Zhu Linsen said slowly.

"You are really destined." Ji Yuetong smiled, and then looked at Grandma Ji, "Grandma Ji, remember to drink that soup, I'll go back first."

"Okay, thank your mother for me." Grandma Ji said.

Ji Yuetong's little episode soon passed, and the atmosphere on the table became joyful again.

After a long time, everyone was full, and Grandma Ji seemed a little tired.

Ji Feiyan stood up and said, "Grandma, let me help you go back to bed."

Grandma Ji nodded, she stood up, then looked at Zhu Linsen, and said, "Sensen, grandma is going to bed first, and you will come to play more at home in the future, grandma is very happy today."

"Ok."

Grandma Ji's room is on the first floor. Ji Feiyan helped her into the room, and then she heard her ask abruptly: "Feiyan, you and Sensen are not ordinary friends, are you?"

After hearing this, Ji Feiyan didn't feel nervous at all, instead he smiled and said, "Nothing can be hidden from grandma."

Grandma Ji glanced at him with a smile: "In the past, you avoided seeing your female classmates when they came to your door. Today, you took the initiative to ask him to eat together, and even taught him how to make dumplings. I really thought your grandma was getting old and confused. ?”

"How old is grandma, in my heart, you are still!"

"I know you are talkative!" Grandma Ji was coaxed into a smile, and continued, "You, I have never seen you live as happily as today. Press it down."

As Grandma Ji spoke, she poked the corner of Ji Feiyan's mouth.

"Grandma, no matter how thick-skinned your grandson is, you will call him shy."

Grandma Ji shook her head: "Okay, go and accompany him. Teacher Zhu is kind to you, you can't bully his precious daughter."

"Don't worry, grandma." After Ji Feiyan finished speaking, he turned and walked back to the kitchen.

Zhu Linsen was still sitting at the dining table in an orderly manner, playing with his mobile phone with his head down.Seeing him come back, she quickly stood up and said, "Lu Lu has called me several times, I have to go find her."

"I send you."

"No, it's very..." Before Zhu Linsen finished speaking, Ji Feiyan had already stepped forward to hold her hand and led her out.

"Be careful of being seen." Zhu Linsen panicked for a moment, and immediately took out the mask from his pocket with his other hand and put it on again.

"You're wearing a mask, what are you afraid of?" Ji Feiyan chuckled.

"Ji Feiyan!" Zhu Linsen lowered his voice with a serious tone.

Ji Feiyan had no choice but to let go of her hand.

The sky has darkened, every house is brightly lit, festive red lanterns are hung on the door of every house, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks can be heard everywhere, and there are children playing with fireworks and small firecrackers along the road.

The atmosphere of the New Year is particularly strong at this moment.

Ji Feiyan looked sideways at Zhu Linsen. Today she was wearing a short pink down jacket, a pleated skirt, and white plush earmuffs on her ears. It's an irresistible girlishness.

Well, if she wasn't wearing a mask, he might not be able to resist going up and kissing her.

Seeing that he was about to reach the unfinished building, Zhu Linsen stopped, turned his head to look at Ji Feiyan, and said, "Let's send it here, or they will see it."

"Senior Sister, how do you know my family is here?" Ji Feiyan asked with a raised lip suddenly.

Zhu Linsen's face turned red, and he immediately said, "I don't know."

In fact, this is the truth, but I don't know why I always feel guilty when I say it.

"lie."

"I really don't know, but when Xiao Yu was driving past, I accidentally saw you." Zhu Linsen became anxious, and in a moment of anxiety, he accidentally told the truth.

"So the senior sister came back to look for me alone later?" Ji Feiyan said "ah" in a sudden realization, and deliberately dragged out his tone, which made Zhu Linsen's face feel hot again.

Zhu Linsen pursed his lips, pretending to be calm: "I'll just make sure if I'm dazzled."

Ji Feiyan couldn't help laughing, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hug Zhu Linsen, and whispered in her ear: "Senior Sister, I'm very happy, you gave me an unforgettable New Year."

Zhu Linsen was both happy and sad. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you celebrate the New Year with grandma every year?"

"There are more you this year." Ji Feiyan didn't deny it, but said slowly, there was no sadness in his tone, only joy.

Zhu Linsen couldn't help reaching out to hug him back: "Ji Feiyan, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year." Ji Feiyan let go of her, kissed her forehead, "Go, go back early later."

Zhu Linsen nodded and walked towards the unfinished building.
