She never asked what other people did, but the scent of her stuffing was too tempting, and the children of the neighbors on both sides had really good noses.

Sneaking out from the house following the smell, an eight-year-old boy and a four-year-old boy were looking in through the crack of the door.

"Brother, this smells really good."

"Yeah, it's even more delicious than my mother's stewed meat."

"This is the house of my aunt who sells fruit."

"What do you think she cooks deliciously?"

"have no idea."

Qiao Mai put the prepared stuffing on the table in the yard, and started making noodles again. She laughed when she heard the conversation of the children outside.

After finishing the work, he moved the chopping board to the table in the yard, tilted his head and looked at the door, and the two little greedy cats were still there.

Qiao Mai looked at Ling'er in the space with his mind, the little guy was sleeping soundly on his back.

The child is growing up and cannot be in the space all the time, she needs playmates.

Thinking of this, she opened the courtyard door and looked at the two little ones.

"Who is nagging at my door, tell me your name?"

The eight-year-old boy blushed, "Auntie, I, I am my aunt's left neighbor. My surname is Chen, my name is Hao, and my nickname is Niu Niu."

The four-year-old boy smiled at her, "Auntie, we have met several times. I am your right neighbor. My name is Yuan Haichuan, and my nickname is Chuaner."

"Welcome to my house as guests."

Qiao Mai moved his body and made a gesture of invitation, and the two little guys walked in with a smile.

Qiao Mai didn't barge in the door either, and left the courtyard door ajar, led them into the courtyard, moved two benches and placed them in front of the table.

"Come on, sit down and talk."

The two sat down obediently, with a somewhat restrained look.

"Auntie, what delicious food do you make at home, so delicious?"

"What about making dumplings, have you ever eaten dumplings?"

Chen Hao stretched out two fingers, "I seem to have moved here to eat twice."

"What about you?" Qiao Mai asked Yuan Haichuan.

He pursed his mouth, "It seems that he hasn't eaten."

"After the aunt wraps up the dumplings, can I treat you to the dumplings?"

The two little eyes lit up, and they nodded happily. They sat on the bench obediently, motionless, very obedient and lovable.

Qiao Mai took a small bunch of grapes from the space, washed them in a small basin, and put them in front of them.

"Before the dumplings are cooked, auntie invites you to eat this."

"Wow, what is this?"

"Grape!"

Qiao Mai reached out and pulled a grain, peeled the skin, put the meat into his mouth, and spit out the seeds.

"That's how it's eaten. It's so sweet. Come and taste it."

Only then did the two little ones stretch out their small hands, grabbing the grapes on the top and eating them.

After waking up, she began to rub and squeeze her skin, bought several green curtains, but never used them, and now they have a place to use.

She was talking to the two children while wrapping, and when they heard the family members calling them, they responded quickly.

When Yuan Jiaqi and the Chen family next door came to find him, they saw such an eye-catching scene.

When Mrs. Chen saw her son eating such precious fruits at Mrs. Qiao's house, she immediately ran over and took his hand.

"You're not playing at home, what are you doing here to disturb your aunt?"

Yuan Jiaqi didn't complain about the child, but came up to salute Mrs. Qiao.

"I'm causing trouble for Mrs. Qiao."

"No trouble, I like children too, they are all very well-behaved here."

Chen shyly smiled at her, "These grapes haven't been released yet, have they?"

"It's coming soon. I plan to sell this in a while. You don't have to take it to heart. As much as a child can eat, you are a guest when you come to my house. I should entertain my little guests."

The two little ones liked Qiao Mai very much, and Chuan'er looked up at Yuan Jiaqi.

"Daddy, auntie said she would treat me to dumplings tonight."

Yuan Jiaqi and the Chen family were in a dilemma, and Qiao Mai could see that the two families were thin-skinned.

"Go back, let them play with me, and you can pick them up after dinner."

"How embarrassing is this?"

"They're all in the neighborhood. There's no need to worry so much. I'm single. I need you to take care of me."

"Well then, we'll pick them up after dark."

"Uh-huh"

The parents of the two children have left, and they are relieved to know that they are playing here.

Half an hour later, all the dumplings were wrapped, a fire was lit, and water was stored, planning to cook a pot first for the two children to eat first.

It just so happened that shopkeeper Lu and the others had come, some were lighting the fire and some were cooking dumplings, so they made room for her and Lu Sanniang.

"Sister, who are these two children?"

"It's from the neighbor's house. I smelled it when I was mixing the stuffing."

"Be cautious when making friends. I'll help you find out about their characters and family background later."

"When the thief was caught that day, they all came over. I am so busy that I don't have time to make friends."

"I understand, take your time."

The first pot of dumplings is cooked, and everyone takes their own bowls. They will not be polite when they are so cooked.

Qiao Mai put two small bowls in front of the two little ones, and put the dumplings in their bowls.

"Cold it before eating, or it will burn your mouth."

The two little ones swallowed their saliva while looking at the dumpling, blowing hot air with their small mouths, they looked so cute.

Shopkeeper Lu observed Qiao Mai while eating, seeing that she liked children so much, he couldn't help but say something more.

"Seeing them, do you miss your children?"

"Yes, if the child is alive, he can eat and drink now, and he can crawl all over the ground."

"When you stabilize and your household registration is completed, you can go to someone else's house? You are still young, and you will have children."

"Hey, let's not talk about this after eating."

Lu Sanniang knew that she was sad, so she quickly changed the topic.

"I said, your craftsmanship is really good, and everything you cook is very delicious. If you don't, you can open a restaurant."

"It's too tiring to open a restaurant. Besides, I don't want to compete with shopkeeper Tong. As long as others do business, I don't do it. I don't like to compete with others."

"Do you think that if you don't fight or grab, trouble won't come to your door? If others want to envy you, you can't escape."

"Let's talk about it then."

All the dumplings were cooked, and everyone gathered around the big table to eat dinner. The dumplings tonight were very delicious, and they praised them while eating.

After Chuan'er was full, he patted his belly, "Auntie, this dumpling is so delicious, I'm full, but my father has never eaten such a delicious dumpling, can I bring him a bowl?"

This little guy is really filial, he eats well and doesn't forget his father.

"It's ok. Auntie still has a lot of dumplings here. If you can't eat them, they will be ruined the next day. I just took a bowl away to help Auntie share."

Qiao Mai said in his heart, you little fine bean, take my things home and go home to be filial to your father.

"Then I'll send it to my dad now, it will get cold if it's late, it won't taste good."

Qiao Mai pointed at Chuan'er and shopkeeper Lu and the others said, "See, you are only so old, you know you love his daddy, he will do things like this, and he will definitely be promising when he grows up."

"Where's his mother?"

"It was difficult to give birth to him, and it's gone."

"Pitiful!"

Shopkeeper Lu picked up a bowl of dumplings and put them in front of Chuan'er.

"Go, aunt will take you back."

Shopkeeper Lu picked him up, and he walked out of the courtyard with the bowl in his hands.

Chen Hao also wanted a bowl of dumplings for his mother, "Auntie, I want it too"

"I'll give you a bowl, too. You can choose."

"Thank you auntie"

The two cubs came to her house as guests, and left with food and food.

Shopkeeper Lu looked at Qiao Mai strangely after he came back, and Qiao Mai asked her.

"Sister, what's the matter with you?"

"I think he grew up pretty well after that. You treat his child well, so it's because you fell in love with him?"

Qiao Mai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then how do I treat that boy well? Could it be that I fell in love with his mother?"

"Pop, haha!"

Everyone in the yard laughed, and Shopkeeper Lu couldn't hold back his laughter.

"I'm overthinking!"

"I've said it all, no matter what, I have to buy my own house, get my household registration, and don't consider anything else."

"Why don't I give this house to you and forget it, and get the household registration as soon as possible so you can feel at ease."
