Chapter 497

Jiang's family also eats dumplings on New Year's Eve, but the job of making dumplings is not handed over to Feng's mother. Instead, the family gathers in front of the TV and divides the work. Jiang's father and his men are strong, so they are responsible for rolling the dumpling wrappers, and Jiang's mother They surrounded Grandma Jiang and made dumplings.

Ling Xiaoxiao leaned to the side, and found that apart from Grandma Jiang, Mama Jiang and the others made strange dumplings, and it was obvious at a glance that no one knew how to do it.

At this time, Second Aunt Jiang was too busy to take care of herself, and she didn't have time to find faults. Every New Year's Eve, she had a hard time, and this year was already considered good, with Mother Jiang and Ling Xiaoxiao helping her to share Grandma Jiang's gaze.

"Xiaoxiao, your dumplings are made like little ingots, so pretty." Mother Jiang pulled her fingers, and the edge of the dumpling was torn again, and the dumpling filling inside was about to fall out again. The dumplings made by Ling Xiaoxiao were neatly stacked and placed aside.

Ling Xiaoxiao smiled, with a hint of nostalgia in her smile: "My father likes to eat dumplings, so when winter comes, my mother will make a lot of dumplings and freeze them outside. When my father comes back from get off work, he can bring some to cook in the house when he is hungry. , delicious and convenient. My mother can’t do it alone, so I help her pack it together.”

Even in this life, this kind of memory is still a bit far away. Ling Xiaoxiao looked at the dumplings on the curtain, but what appeared in front of her eyes was Ling's father chomping on the dumplings in satisfaction.

Really miss them.

Grandma Jiang wrapped a dumpling, and put her hand beside Ling Xiaoxiao's wrapped dumplings: "It's very cold in your house in winter, I heard people say that you don't even need a refrigerator in winter, and you can put things outside for a while. can freeze."

"Yes," Ling Xiaoxiao withdrew the longing in her eyes: "Winter is very cold, if you don't wear enough clothes, you will freeze through after going out for a while. We rarely go out in winter."

Ling Xiaoxiao's mother Jiang especially agrees with Ling Xiaoxiao's words. She was born in Province A, and she has a deeper understanding and affection for that land than Ling Xiaoxiao. Hearing what Ling Xiaoxiao said, she nodded hurriedly: "Yes, there is a drop of water in winter. It’s icy, I’ve worn that thick coat for many years, but I don’t have a chance to wear it this year, and I’m still a little unaccustomed to it.”

For Jiang’s mother, it doesn’t matter which hospital she is in. The wards and operating tables still occupy the largest proportion in her life. However, Province A is her hometown after all, and most of her memories in her life are there. , Just one topic can bring back a lot of memories for her.

"You two," Grandma Jiang couldn't help laughing when she heard the same tone of voice as Ling Xiaoxiao and Jiang's mother: "It's really a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I know you are good. If I have a chance, I will take my wife back to see it. We also taste the big fish by the river and look at the famous ice lanterns."

"Okay, we can leave whenever we have time. Our house in Bincheng hasn't been sold yet. We didn't have to worry about where to live in the past. It's just right." Mother Jiang watched Ling Xiaoxiao making dumplings happily, and followed suit. Started to look a little bit.

"Sister and brother, why didn't your house sell? Don't you plan to go back in the future?" Second Aunt Jiang listened for a long time, and finally found a chance to intervene.

"Zizhuo's child is not allowed to sell, saying that he will have a place to live when he goes back." Jiang's mother glanced at Ling Xiaoxiao when she said this: "The child originally said that he would go back with Xiaoxiao during the winter and summer vacations."

Mother Jiang sighed, the plan did not change quickly.When Jiang Zizhuo came back, they should have graduated, and there would be winter and summer vacations.

Feeling that everyone's eyes fell on her in an instant, Ling Xiaoxiao only jokingly said: "He doesn't have time, so grandma will accompany me."

Grandma Jiang laughed: "Okay, you will accompany me when the time comes, and I will accompany you."

After the topic passed, the few people chatted again, carefully avoiding Province A and Jiang Zizhuo, looking for something to say casually while watching the Spring Festival Gala.

At midnight, children in the alley gradually began to go out to set off fireworks and firecrackers. From time to time, crackling sounds came from outside. Ling Xiaoxiao followed the Jiang brothers and ran around in the alley.

Fireworks alternately bloomed in the sky in the most beautiful colors, and they were on and off, which reminded her suddenly of the New Year's Eve in the first year of high school. Give yourself the best New Year's gift in the New Year.

Just as she was thinking about him, the phone in her pocket vibrated suddenly. She looked at the incoming call and took a few steps away from the Jiang brothers to answer the call.

"Happy New Year." The deep voice sounded, like fireworks in the ears, falling to the heart.

"Happy New Year. Brother Jiang and I are out in the alley." Ling Xiaoxiao kicked the stones beside her feet.

"I heard the voice from your side." Jiang Zizhuo's voice was a little light, but the voice was too hoarse.

"Are you sick?" Ling Xiaoxiao frowned. It's only been a while. Is it because she's not used to the weather over there?

"No, it's just that the pressure of study is relatively high, and there is not much time to sleep every day." Not only is there not much, he just finished the night before and has not slept for more than 30 hours in a row, but telling Ling Xiaoxiao these things will only make her worse Worry.

However, he still wanted to listen to her voice, to wash away his tiredness by listening to her voice.

As if she knew what Jiang Zizhuo was thinking, Ling Xiaoxiao just chattered about what happened around her during this time, talking about Xia Ziqian might find him a brother-in-law, talking about her reading experience these days, and also talking about the past few days. What Grandma Jiang said when making dumplings.

The two were just like before, one talking and the other listening, only separated by the phone, but it seemed like they had never been separated.

"Zizhuo, come in for a meeting." Ling Xiaoxiao was about to go back to play mahjong with Brother Jiang and the others later, when she heard a strange male voice from the receiver: "I'm urging you, go to the meeting quickly, I I have to go back and kill the Quartet."

"Okay, I'll call you again when I have time."

Jiang Zizhuo hung up the phone very simply, and Ling Xiaoxiao was in a daze for a long time listening to the beeping sound on the phone.

"What are you thinking about? Let's go. It's time to go home and eat dumplings. We can make an agreement later. You can't cry if you lose everything." Second Brother Jiang came back from the past, looked at her expression carefully, and deliberately made her happy.

"I don't know who the loser will be, so I'll give this to you first." Second Brother Jiang has a familiar personality. Ling Xiaoxiao and him are already very familiar in one afternoon, so it's okay to talk to him now. So many taboos.

Second brother Jiang really wanted to say bluntly how top-notch his poker skills are, but when he thought that the one won by Jiang Zizhuo didn't even keep the New Year's money, he could only hum and say, "Well, let's see when the time comes, but I will tell you Tell me, my elder brother and younger brother are not very good at playing, it’s really not good, let’s cooperate.”
