Chapter 644 Dumplings Going Home

"Huh~!"

“It’s still more comfortable to eat at home!”

Chen Li worked hard to swallow the thirty-fifth dumpling. He felt really comfortable eating this meal.

It’s strange to say that when I live in an island country, even if it uses Chinese seasonings and Chinese chefs can make Chinese dishes, I always feel that they lack flavor.

Not to mention that these dumplings are even made by my parents, so the taste is naturally taken to a new level.

Hmm~ Well, actually, the main reason is that Chen’s dumplings are different from those outside.

The Chen family never uses green onions when making dumplings, but uses small chives. In addition, in addition to chopping the dumpling fillings yourself, an appropriate amount of bean paste and minced ginger and garlic are also added to the dumplings according to the taste of the family.

The key is not what you add, but the right amount!

Many people think that the food at home is the most delicious, and this is the reason, because family members are always the ones who know your taste best.

"Hmph~ You've already gone to the island country. Isn't there delicious food there?"

Usually there is only one person at home who would speak to Chen Li in this tone, and that is Chen Li's dearest sister. Chen Xue!

This kind of tone with a gun and a stick and a hint of sourness is a habit between the two brothers and sisters.

In fact, Chen Xue rarely treats her brother like this on weekdays, but this time during the trip to the island country, she, Chen Xue, failed to follow him, which made her feel a little unhappy.

In the past, it was fine for her to be in her hometown, but now she is in Yanjing, so subconsciously she still wants to be her brother's little tail like before.

But what is very helpless is that her brother is no longer the brother who always took her out to fish and catch eels, and she is not the little girl who always liked to threaten her brother by crying.

"There's something so delicious over there that I can't get used to it at all, okay?"

"I still like the dumplings made by my parents ~ burp!"

"Go and get me a bowl of soup!"

Chen Li was naturally accustomed to his sister's tone, so instead of appeasing her, he even handed his bowl to Chen Xue.

"Hmph~ Why don't you go by yourself?"

Chen Xue was naturally very dissatisfied with Chen Li's behavior, but even though she was mumbling, she still subconsciously took Chen Li's bowl and got up and went to the kitchen.

Feelings are actually mutual, whether it is love or family affection.

If it were the old Chen Xue and Chen Li asked her to ladle soup at this time, Chen Xue would definitely not pay attention to him.

But now the relationship between the two siblings is much better than before, so Chen Xue was dissatisfied but still went to the kitchen.

Facing this scene, Chen Li's parents, girlfriend and cousin beside him all laughed.

As the saying goes, one thing brings another down. At this age, Chen Xue has actually reached the rebellious stage.

On weekdays, no matter what Chen's parents and Wang's mother taught their daughter to do, Chen Xue would always come up with a lot of reasons to refute it.

But if the same thing comes from Chen Li's mouth, Chen Xue will complain and even refute it, but in the end, she will often accept Chen Li's opinion honestly.

The reason is actually not complicated. Apart from the current relationship between the two siblings, Chen Xue actually admires her brother very much.

In fact, Chen Xue didn't have this kind of emotion at the beginning. At most, she thought her brother was pretty good.

After all, we are members of our own family~ When we look at our own family members, we also have a filter.

However, with Chen Li's rapid "rise", although Chen Xue didn't feel much about it, from the outside world, it was a different picture.

When she was in her hometown, Chen Xue often heard people boast about her brother, even so much that it would make her ears calloused.

If the relationship between the two siblings is not good, or generally speaking, then such a situation may lead to the little girl developing rebellious psychology.

After all, everyone is praising Chen Li, so who cares about her "insignificant" Chen Xue?

Fortunately, the two brothers Chen Li and Chen Xue have a very good relationship now, so when outsiders praise his brother, although Chen Xue doesn't have much expression on his face, he is still vaguely proud of his brother in his heart.

And once this feeling of being proud of her elder brother became more intense, Chen Xue unconsciously began to admire her elder brother subconsciously.

Especially after she entered the University of Foreign Languages, she often heard rumors about her brother from the teachers.

What kind of genius is this? What kind of language genius is rare to see in decades?

And because of her brother's relationship, she also received a lot of attention in school.

And all these~ gradually contributed to Chen Xue's admiration for her brother!

It's just that the little girl is thin-skinned, so even though she likes to play devil's advocate when getting along with her elder brother, this girl is the one who listens best to what Chen Li says.

"Give!"

After a while, the little girl who was obviously emotional came out of the kitchen and handed the big bowl in her hand to Chen Li.

The big bowl was filled with dumpling soup, and what was more eye-catching was that there was a pinch of chopped green onion floating on top of the soup. This was obviously made for her brother by Chen Xue knowing his habits.

"Hmm~"

"So comfortable!"

Chen Li took a big mouthful of dumpling soup, and his whole body felt elevated to another level.

It's strange to say that Chen Li felt that he was full before, but after taking this mouthful of dumpling soup, he instantly felt that he could eat a few more dumplings.

Okay~ This is the legendary soup-based original food.

Of course, Chen Li was not reincarnated as a starving ghost, nor did he intend to stretch himself to death, so he had no intention of continuing to eat dumplings.

"By the way~ Have you booked your flight tickets?"

Chen Li turned his head and looked at his girlfriend.

This year's Spring Festival is relatively early, and there is less than half a month left. Chen Li's parents plan to go back first to make preparations.

In fact, according to the custom in my hometown, if a new house is built or purchased, the Spring Festival reunion dinner this year will be eaten in the new house.

It is said that it is to gather popularity for the new house or something. Anyway, that is what the older generation said.

So at the beginning, Chen Li's parents actually planned to celebrate the New Year in Yanjing.

After all, both Chen Li and Chen Xue have new houses here, so although they are not as comfortable here as in their hometown, Chen Li's parents still have this plan.

However, when Chen Li's parents mentioned this topic to their son, Chen Li scratched his head directly, and then pulled out a large stack of house books from the bedroom with a complicated expression!

Chen Li has forgotten the specific time when he started. Anyway, when he started to have money on hand, he started his own house buying behavior.

The property he owns here belongs to him personally, which is different from the shop he purchased from Ideal Fried Chicken.

There are actually more properties over there at Ideal Fried Chicken, but those belong to Ideal Fried Chicken.

The more than thirty suites that Chen Li has on hand belong entirely to him.

However, these houses are currently rented by Chen Li to Ideal Fried Chicken as employee dormitories.

Hmm~ Well, in fact, Chen Li's purpose of buying these houses was to use them as dormitories for his employees.

It’s cheap anyway~ Instead of spending money to rent a house for employees, why not buy a house yourself and use it as a dormitory for employees!

And since the company was formalized, Chen Li has even been able to receive rent from Ideal Fried Chicken.

It's just that Chen Li definitely can't be a landlord, because the rent is paid directly from Ideal Fried Chicken on a quarterly basis.

In addition to these thirty-plus sets of commercial houses, Chen Li also has several property certificates for courtyard houses, which are all added up. If we really want to follow the rules of our hometown, it will definitely be impossible for the Chen family to go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year.

So ~ Chen Li’s parents decisively decided to go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year!

"It's done~ I've already given it to auntie!"

"Don't worry~ You don't have to worry about this!"

Liu Qingqing nodded and replied while eating the dumplings with difficulty.

The reason why it was difficult to eat was not because the dumplings were not delicious. In fact, she was very used to the Chen family's taste.

It’s just that there are too many!

Naturally, the dumplings made at home cannot be as small as those made outside.

Just the dumplings she made tonight would probably be enough for her to eat on weekdays.

But when the dumplings were cooked before, Aunt Wang put the colander down and scooped out at least twenty of them for her.

This made her a little embarrassed.

In fact, to be honest, Liu Qingqing and Chen Li's parents get along very well now, but after all, they are not a real family yet, so Liu Qingqing is really hard to refuse the "kindness" of her future mother-in-law.

Liu Qingqing's appetite is actually not that small, but she can't handle the size of these dumplings!

I don’t know how my boyfriend stuffed those thirty-five dumplings? Boyfriend!

Thinking of this, Liu Qingqing turned her head and winked at her boyfriend.

It just so happened that before Chen Li could take his eyes back from his girlfriend, he saw his girlfriend's distress signal to him.

When he saw Liu Qingqing's eyes shifting back and forth between herself and the big bowl in front of her, Chen Li instantly understood what his girlfriend was thinking.

Uh~Okay!

In fact, he has some responsibility for this matter.

This responsibility does not lie with anyone else, but with the bowl that the family eats from.

In ordinary families, when eating noodles and dumplings, they use ordinary large bowls at most. But when Chen Li went to buy kitchen utensils before, because of his experience of eating beef noodles in the northwest in his previous life, when buying noodle bowls, he specially

I chose the same style as the large bowl of beef noodles.

Hmm~ That’s right, it’s that extra-large blue and white porcelain bowl!

When she bought this bowl, Liu Qingqing thought it was for soup, but when Chen Li said it was for noodles, she felt very speechless.

Later, after he bought this bowl, Chen Li was lectured by his parents, but he bought everything. So he could only use it.

After all, in the concept of their generation, there is no such thing as waste!

So~ Originally, an ordinary bowl could only hold more than ten dumplings made at home, but after changing to this large bowl, not to mention the more than twenty Chen Li's bowl could even hold thirty-five dumplings.

And similarly, the more than twenty dumplings in Liu Qingqing's bowl also include part of his pot.

Uh~ Well, even if there is no such reason, as a boyfriend at this time, he will naturally help his girlfriend solve the problem.

In fact, to be honest, Liu Qingqing could have refused Ms. Wang's "many" good intentions from the beginning, but although her girlfriend has become very close to her future mother-in-law, she is still not able to "reject" her future mother-in-law.

There's no way~ Mainly because we haven't spent enough time together, and our identity hasn't really changed yet.

Once Liu Qingqing becomes Chen Li's wife, let's not say whether the relationship between the two can still be so close. At least Liu Qingqing is qualified to reject her mother-in-law's "good intentions".

Of course, these are what Liu Qingqing thinks in her own mind. In fact, in Chen Li's opinion, it is not that complicated.

If you really can’t eat that much, just refuse it. Could Ms. Wang still be angry with Miss Liu because of this?

But this is Chen Li's idea, not Liu Qingqing's. So.

"Oops~ I drank some soup and slipped a little!"

“I feel like I can eat a few more!”

"Aren't you full? Then I'll go get it for you. Anyway, I packed a lot today!"

As soon as Chen Li started talking, Ms. Wang immediately put down her bowls and chopsticks and planned to go to the kitchen to make dumplings.

As a mother, Ms. Wang naturally cannot let her son go hungry. Even if Chen Li has just eaten thirty-five dumplings, as long as Chen Li says he still wants to eat, he can continue cooking!

"No, no, no~!"

Chen Li was startled by his mother's actions. He knew very well that if he let his mother into the kitchen, he would probably put at least twenty dumplings into the pot.

When Chen Li can't finish eating, Ms. Wang will start the sharing mode, and no one in the room will be able to escape.

"Qingqing~ Pick some for me!"

Chen Li quickly moved his bowl towards Liu Qingqing, while Liu Qingqing lowered her head and quickly poured dumplings into Chen Li's bowl.

"Pa~!"

"You kid, you just cook when you're not full. Why are you grabbing Qingqing's dumplings!"

"Qingqing~ Leave him alone and let him cook by himself!"

When Ms. Wang saw her son grabbing the dumplings from her future daughter-in-law, she slapped him away. Originally, she was supposed to go to the kitchen to cook the dumplings, but now she asked Chen Li to do it himself.

Chen Li was slapped by his mother, but the expression on his face did not change at all. After all, his mother's slap was not a real slap, he just accepted it!

As for asking him to cook dumplings, he just pretended not to hear it. When Liu Qingqing cleared all the dumplings in her bowl until there was only one left, Chen Li took back the bowl and picked up the dumplings one by one with chopsticks.

After finishing the dumplings in the bowl, Chen Li leaned on the back of the chair and said something.

"I'm full~burp~!"

At this moment, Ms. Wang had returned to the dining table. When she saw her son's virtue, she rolled her eyes.

Chen Guofu on the side continued to drink wine comfortably.

Zhou Ling and Chen Xue, on the other hand, looked at Chen Li with pitiful expressions.

"Ahem~!"

Perhaps because he was a little uncomfortable being looked at by his cousin and sister, Chen Li coughed lightly.

"Then what~ After the New Year, I plan to take everyone out for a trip."

“Well, I’ve been busy going to the island country this time, so I didn’t have time to play!”

"After the Chinese New Year, let's go to the island country and have fun!"

"Really~ Hey~ I'm the best!"
