Chapter 566: The happy Xiao family

Ma Lan was almost exploding with anger.

She really didn't expect that she had just told Ye Chen this morning that he must guard against the old woman, but he not only didn't take it to heart, but instead bought so many new chives.

Now it's all good, it's all cheap for that old woman.

If it were before, Ma Lan would have gone to curse Ye Chen, but now she didn't have the guts.

At this time, Xiao Churan asked Ye Chen in the room, "Husband, what are we eating tonight?"

Ye Chen asked with a smile, "Don't you usually not care about these things? Why are you caring about what to eat today?"

Xiao Churan said with a smile, "I want to go to the vegetable garden to pick, you tell me what to make for dinner, and I'll go to the vegetable garden to pick it back, how about it? Is it okay?"

Ye Chen nodded and said with a smile, "Then let's just go together, just like this morning."

Xiao Churan thought of her first kiss being taken away by Ye Chen this morning, and her pretty face turned crimson instantly.

She rolled her eyes at Ye Chen and said shyly, "Picking is fine, but you're not allowed to take advantage of me again!"

Ye Chen pretended to be confused and asked, "Wife, what are you talking about? I don't understand, what taking advantage or not taking advantage."

Xiao Churan hummed, "Anyway, keep a distance of more than half a meter from me!"

After finishing, she turned and went downstairs first.

Ye Chen hurriedly followed.

The two came to the vegetable garden. Xiao Churan saw the chives on the ground at a glance and asked in surprise, "Where did these chives come from? They weren't there this morning."

Ye Chen laughed, "Just had a friend send them over."

Xiao Churan said with a smile, "Then can we have stir-fried chives with shrimp for dinner?"

Ye Chen hurriedly said, "The chives aren't grown well yet, they can't be eaten yet."

"Ah?" Xiao Churan asked in surprise, "I see they look quite good, why can't they be eaten?"

Ye Chen said, "You don't understand, these chives look good now, but they aren't at the time to be eaten yet, you wait a bit longer."

Xiao Churan nodded and said, "Alright then, then how about having braised eggplant for dinner? And I also want to eat moo shu pork."

"Good." Ye Chen said with a smile, "Everything in the vegetable garden except the chives is fine."

The young couple picked some vegetables and returned to the kitchen to cook together. Xiao Churan also liked this feeling, being busy in the kitchen with Ye Chen, this feeling was quite good.

At this time, the Xiao family was even busier.

Because there were many people, and the chives Old Mrs. Xiao cut were relatively many, all five people were busy at this time.

Old Mrs. Xiao was busy kneading dough, Xiao Changgan was busy chopping meat filling, Qian Hongyan was busy stir-frying eggs, and Xiao Hailong and Xiao Weiwei were busy washing chives.

It was just that Xiao Changgan was a bit depressed. While making the meat filling, he complained, "Why not just buy the meat filling that others have minced, why must we buy a whole piece of meat back to chop the filling? My two arms are sore and painful now."

Qian Hongyan blurted out, "Mom said the filling minced by a machine isn't as fragrant as the filling chopped by hand."

"Nonsense." Xiao Changgan curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Isn't it the same meat? What's the difference between what's chopped by hand?"

At this time, he heard the old woman cursing behind him, "You know a fart! Ask older people, who doesn't know that only meat filling chopped by hand is fragrant?"

Xiao Changgan had no choice but to say helplessly, "Good, good, good, Mom, you're right, can't I just listen to you?"

Old Mrs. Xiao glared at him and said, "Use some strength, chop the meat finer!"

"I know..." Xiao Changgan replied resentfully.

By the evening, the meat filling was done, the eggs were stir-fried, and the large handful of daffodils was washed clean and placed on the cutting board.

The old woman came out personally to season the filling, first using eggs and chives, adding seasonings to mix a chive and egg filling, and then using meat and chives to mix a chive and pork filling.

Other people in the Xiao family were already drooling one by one. After all, the family had been relatively turbulent recently, and they hadn't eaten such home-cooked dumplings with life atmosphere for a long time.

The old woman personally led everyone to wrap dumplings, saying the truth, everyone wrapped dumplings crookedly, all kinds of things, and it really had some atmosphere of the New Year.

Old Mrs. Xiao, who always had a very bad temper, also felt a warmth of family life at this moment.

She finally had a kind side, patiently teaching her grandson and granddaughter how to wrap dumplings better and tighter.

Xiao Changgan was also incomparably moved deep in his heart, and he also liked this happy feeling very much.

Especially since his missing wife had returned, the two had returned to the harmonious and loving living state they had before.

Plus his children were right beside him, and they lived in such a good big villa. Soon, the Xiao Group would also regain its vitality.

Life was simply perfect to the extreme at this moment.

If he had to use four words to describe the feeling at this moment, it would be: what more could one ask for.

Feeling that life had reached its climax.

Old Mrs. Xiao led everyone to wrap many dumplings. Qian Hongyan moved the induction cooker in the kitchen to the living room. Everyone simply watched the TV in the living room while wrapping dumplings, preparing to boil them.

Although that TV was a bit small, it still looked quite good. Xiao Hailong found a comedy movie by Stephen Chow, "Hail the Judge," and the family watched it with great interest.

Qian Hongyan watched the TV while taking care of the dumplings in the pot. Soon, the dumplings in the pot all floated up, and for a while, the fragrance was overflowing, making people's appetites open as soon as they smelled it.

Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly urged, "Hongyan, hurry up and serve me a bowl."

Xiao Changgan laughed, "Hurry up and serve all the dumplings, then boil the next batch, I'll go get some vinegar, time to eat dumplings!"

Xiao Hailong and Xiao Weiwei also hurriedly gathered around.

After Qian Hongyan fished out the dumplings, Xiao Changgan also came with the aged vinegar.

So, the five members of the Xiao family happily ate the dumplings they wrapped themselves.

Xiao Changgan was the fastest to start, not caring that the dumplings were still very hot, directly picked one and stuffed it into his mouth, muttering vaguely, "Oh my mom, this dumpling filling chopped by oneself is really fragrant!"

Old Mrs. Xiao also hurriedly ate one and praised, "Oh my, these chives are really tender!"

Qian Hongyan asked while eating, "Where did Ye Chen get such good chives? Usually, you can't buy such good chives even if you go to the vegetable market!"

Old Mrs. Xiao ate another one and sighed, "This little rabbit Ye Chen still has some ability. I looked down on him before. If I had known he had the ability to cheat, keeping him in the Xiao Group might have been of great use."

Xiao Hailong hurriedly said, "Grandma, why would the Xiao Group want such trash? Trash like Ye Chen who relies on cheating to make money will explode sooner or later. By then, I don't know how many people will be lining up to hack him to death!"

Old Mrs. Xiao hummed, waved her hand, and said, "Alright, don't say those things, hurry up and eat, there are many dumplings today, everyone eat at least two bowls!" ===== CHAPTER 567 =====
