Chapter 647: Teach the kids! Make dumplings!

"Tingting, Yangyang, watch your dad make a dumpling first. You watch carefully. Once you learn, you can make dumplings by yourself!"

“Okay, Dad!”

"Look carefully, put the dumpling wrapper on your left hand first, then use a spoon to scoop out some dumpling filling and put it on the dumpling wrapper.

When you first start making dumplings, you can put less filling in. Then look at your father's hands and wrap the filling with the dumpling skin.

Then you use your hands to pinch the dumpling skins together to make the dumplings look good?

The technique my father used is the Northeastern tiger's mouth technique.

Put the stuffing into the dough, seal the middle and pinch it. Place the dumpling between your hands, pinch the dough with your left and right hands and press hard. The dumplings are now wrapped. Many families make dumplings this way, which is quick and good-looking.

The Northeastern tiger-mouth-style dumplings are rich in filling, round like ingots, and festive.

This Northeastern style of making dumplings is not difficult. Dad is making one and you can learn by watching him make dumplings on the panel!

"Okay, Dad!"

Cao Dongfang began to teach the two children how to make dumplings by word of mouth and actions, without actually teaching them by hand.

I just made dumplings by myself, and Tingting and Yangyang also learned little by little.

The three of them are the ones who teach with great care! The two children are concentrating on learning and making dumplings carefully.

One! Two! Three... The fifth.

The first three dumplings were ugly, with not much filling and the skins were pinched in a mess.

With the help of Cao Dongfang, the fourth one looks a bit better! It’s not a big deal if the filling is less.

When making dumplings for the fifth time, Tingting and Yangyang finally learned how to make Northeastern tiger-mouth style dumplings.

It took a total of ten minutes to make five dumplings.

The fifth dumpling looked pretty good. If it was a little ugly, it wouldn’t be a big deal for a five-year-old child, but there was probably not enough filling.

It’s not a big problem, it’s better than Song Xianxian.

You can wrap the dumpling filling, and the dumplings are successfully wrapped.

"Tingting, Yangyang now knows how to make dumplings. You can go out and make a snowman with mom! Next time, you two can also make dumplings! Dad will teach you other ways to make dumplings!"

"Dad, make another one so we can make a snowman and set off firecrackers!"

"Okay! Wrap one more and Dad will wrap the rest himself!"

......

Song Xianxian and her two children went out to make a snowman! Cao Dongfang didn't make dumplings either.

It’s still early now, so it’s better to make dumplings before 5:10.

At 5:50, steam it together with the other dishes in a steamer and take it out of the pot together, and everyone can have the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Don't worry about that dish getting cold.

Cao Dongfang said something to Cao's mother, "I'll come back to make dumplings," and then went out to see what Tingting and Yangyang were playing.

Tingting and Yangyang did not build snowmen with Song Xianxian. Instead, they played snowball fights with Huaihua, He Xiao, Xiu'er, and Sanmao.

There were more people watching in the afternoon.

Old and young women no longer work and go out to look after their children.

Song Xianxian is with Yu Li, Qin Huairu, Qin Mingru, Qin Jingru and Xiang Zhaodi.

What did the women say? They were all very happy! Cao Dongfang did not go to call them.

Cao Jiajia and He Yushui finally stopped assembling televisions to make money. Instead, they were outside the gate setting off firecrackers and blasting snow with the older kids.

So boring. Oh! I also had explosions when I was a kid.

Then it'll be fine.

Cao Dongfang just stood at the door of his house for a while and did not join the group of women including Song Xianxian.

A few minutes later Cao Dongfang returned home.

.......

"Xianxian, did Dongfang have anything to do this morning?" Xiang Zhaodi asked.

"It's okay. It's the war in the Middle East! Some people come to our country to buy arms. Let's discuss whether to sell them and at what price.

There is nothing wrong in our country! Everyone can celebrate the New Year happily! "

"Dongfang, it's still scary to go out in military uniform on New Year's Eve. After all, he is a high-ranking official. I'm worried about something happening during the New Year! I don't have to worry about the Middle East!"

Qin Huairu, "What's going on there has nothing to do with us ordinary people! Let Dongfang and the others handle it! We just need to make some money and raise the kids!"

"The child is grown up now, and I don't want to find another man!" Yu Li asked.

"I don't dare to find one. The house here is not big enough, and I can't make money living outside the courtyard. I'd rather make 400,000 yuan a year! Forget about being a man!"

"That's true! Jingru should find a partner! She's already 26!"

"It's hard for me to find a place to live, so I don't dare to move out!"

"You have a house, just find someone to move in with you, you are different from Huairu!"

"Jingru told me about this. My father-in-law has an apprentice who seems to be more suitable for Jingru.

My father-in-law said he was a good person, but his family was a little poor! He had many brothers, and his parents were in poor health and were taking medicine.

I am a very honest person! For the sake of my younger brothers and sisters, I am still single at the age of 27.

My father-in-law said he’s a good person! Huairu should know him. He works in my father-in-law’s cafeteria. His name is Ma Hua!

"Ma Hua, I know him and have heard of him! He is a very honest person and is regarded as a good person by everyone. Jingru can give it a try!"

"My father-in-law is here during the New Year. Let him ask you two about it. Ma Hua's family is poor! Jingru, you are rich.

Ma Hua has no house, Jing Ru, you have a house. It's not like he's marrying into the family! It shouldn't be a big problem! "Xiang Zhaodi said.

“When you come that day, Zhaodi also told me that I would talk to Ma Hua!

We don’t know each other very well, but we all know each other!

"Sure! Mingru didn't bring the child out. I've never seen a child go out in winter!"

.......

"The child is fine. My mother-in-law thinks that the weather is cold, so he should go out less and get sick less! He still can't call people! He can't walk!"

"It's not a big deal to call people and walk late! As long as the child is fine!"

"It's still Tingting. Yangyang takes good care of him. He doesn't get sick and the adults don't have to worry about him.

Dongfang and you are not at home, the two children are having a good time with Aunt Cao and Sister Ma, I have never seen them cry! Tingting, Yangyang seems to like to play football very much! "Yu Li said.

"Dongfang has developed a habit since childhood that crying and making a fuss will not solve any problem. If there is something wrong, talk to an adult!

Dongfang thinks that playing football is good, it can fully exercise the child's body! Just let them not play it! "Song Xianxian said.

"I love seeing their little expressions the most. They make me laugh to death!"

"Tingting, Yangyang is smart!"

"that is!"

.......

“This year, there seems to be a wider variety of clothes in Chen Xueru’s shop, which look like the foreign clothes Dongfang gave her.

The craftsmen in their shops will make some alterations and turn them into clothes that we can wear.

There are many styles of clothes there, and many people order them custom-made. The prices are not cheap either! "Yu Li said.

"The clothes should have been given to Chen Xueru by Dongfang. Chen Xueru should make some changes to make them more suitable for ordinary people in my country!"

“Dongfang and Chen Xueru’s relationship seems to have been good since Chen Xueru married into the compound.

Chen Xueru was rich at that time, not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and was a bit arrogant, but she was very capable!

Dongfang is less than fifteen years old and is the only person who has a good relationship with Chen Xueru. If Hou Jie had not left Sijiu City to support the Northwest, Chen Xueru would not have divorced Hou Jie and should still be living in the Siheyuan.

Yu Li, "Chen Xueru is a person who left the Siheyuan. This is the first time I heard of her. Jie Cheng never told me!"

"Chen Xueru left the courtyard in 53. Xie Cheng was still young at that time and was pregnant. She lived in her former shop with a yard behind it.

When the child was born, Hou Jie wanted to go to the northwest to respond to the country's call! Chen Xueru refused to go, and the two divorced! "Qin Huairu said.

"53 years ago, it's so early. You are the only one who came to the Siheyuan here, Huairu. We haven't been here yet!"

“It happened a long time ago. Now that I think about it, Chen Xueru was very powerful back then.

Dongfang was still a child, who knew that he would become so successful later on? Chen Xueru and Hou Jie had been dating Dongfang in Siheyuan before 53. This is also vision! "Qin Huairu admires Chen Xueru very much.

"Chen Xueru is so powerful!" Qin Jingru was quite surprised.

"You just realized that Chen Xueru is famous for making friends in this area! She is very skilled in this.

Her 'Chen's Silk Shop' was left to her by her father, not to her brothers.

A woman who was less than 20 years old at that time could take over the ancestral property even though she had a brother. This woman is not simple! "Qin Huairu talked about Chen Xueru's situation.

"This woman is amazing. She made friends with Dongfang when the country was first founded. She has a good vision, better than us!" Xiang Zhaodi said.

“Of course he’s better than us!”
