his forehead, she added, \"Aren’t you tired?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold wind howled outside the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, there was sweat on Leng Yebai’s

wrapped dumplings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, his title of dumpling master had a successor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiqin, Wang Yiyun, and grandma Liu Jing sat aside, serving as

it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhengxuan quickly took the rolling pin and rolled it a couple more times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honey, knead this dough more, it’ll be more chewy that way.\" Wang Yiyun pursed her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Anhai quickly kneaded the dough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leng Yebai, can’t you wrap dumplings without sticking out your pinky?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiqin watched Leng Yebai with a slight toothache, sticking out his pinky while wrapping dumplings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His slender, fair fingers were even more graceful than hers, which was unacceptable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Yebai: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three women didn’t work, but their demands were high!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sis, bro-in-law can’t change this habit!\" Bai Yifan gestured a pinky posture, \"He learned the dumpling wrapping skill from dad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Anhai, a reputable gold-medal lawyer, (formerly) full of righteous spirit, (also once) full of iron will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, very manly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in dumpling wrapping, his pinky ascended more gracefully than anyone else’s!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Family’s dumpling wrapping stance was passed down through generations, exclusively with a pinky up, passed from men not women!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go cook!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiqin rolled her eyes at Bai Yifan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yifan grinned at Leng Yebai, then cheerfully went to cook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, he was the head chef, making several notable dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Bai Family, there were no men who couldn’t cook!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the outside sky gradually darkened, there were no fireworks or firecrackers this New Year’s Eve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fireworks and firecrackers would attract mutant animals and zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The armored eagle hadn’t returned since being driven away last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, no one ventured outside at night, they all hid in their cars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New Year’s Eve night, cold and desolate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only inside the bus, it was exceptionally warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yifan showcased his skills, cooking an entire table of dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Braised pork, squirrel fish, boiled fish, oil-braised shrimp... and Grandpa Bai Zhengxuan’s longed-for braised pork knuckle, all were masterfully prepared by Bai Yifan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bai Family’s men couldn’t do without cooking skills!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bai Family’s fairies were only responsible for eating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aroma of food, filtered through the range hood’s pipe, wafted outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a bit of scent dispersed beyond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also for safety reasons, fearing that some nose-sensitive mutant animals might smell the scent and come over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dumplings were ready to boil, each person just enough for a large bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhengxuan took his large bowl of dumplings and got off the bus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Knock knock knock!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhengxuan knocked on the garbage truck window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Wang shouted outside, turned over, and continued sleeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s me!\" Bai Zhengxuan said softly, \"I brought you some dumplings!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car door quickly opened, and Bai Zhengxuan’s bowl was instantly snatched by Uncle Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car door closed again, with Uncle Wang locking it from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you give me all of it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle Wang, after locking the door, finally spoke to Bai Zhengxuan through the glass with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This whole large bowl of meat dumplings, since the apocalypse began, he hadn’t tasted again.\u003C\u002Fp>",1288,"2026-06-06T03:09:16.526Z",1,"novelbin.me","08ab1a0d3b6b9492ab86c5610a3fe4eab15ca5258b71de69704a60f214587d85","rebirth-before-apocalypse-my-whole-family-are-bi-chapter-43","rebirth-before-apocalypse-my-whole-family-are-bi-chapter-41",514,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frebirth-before-apocalypse-my-whole-family-are-bi-cover.jpg"]
