Chapter 566: The Harmonious 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 chives.

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

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

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

Ye Chen asked with a smile, "Don't you usually not care about these things? Why do you care what we're eating today?"

Xiao 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 pick it back from the vegetable garden. How about that? Is it okay?"

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

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

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 puzzled and asked, "Wife, what are you talking about? I don't understand, what taking advantage or not taking advantage."

Xiao Xiao Churan hummed, "Anyway, you 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 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 smiled, "I just had a friend send them over."

Xiao 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 Xiao Churan asked in surprise, "I see they grew quite well, why can't they be eaten?"

Ye Chen said, "You don't understand. These chives look good now, but they aren't ready to be eaten yet. You wait a bit longer."

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

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

The young couple picked some vegetables and returned to the kitchen to cook together. Xiao Xiao Churan also fell in love with this feeling, 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 Old Mrs. Xiao cut quite a lot of chives, all five people were busy at this time.

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

It was just that Xiao Xiao Changqian was a bit depressed. While making the meat filling, he complained, "Why not just buy the minced meat filling? Why buy a whole piece of meat and chop it yourself? My two arms are sore and aching now."

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

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

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

Xiao Xiao Changqian had no choice but to say helplessly, "Alright, alright, 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 Xiao Changqian answered resentfully.

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

The old woman came out personally to season the filling. First, she used eggs and chives, added seasonings, and mixed a chives and egg filling, and then she used meat and chives to mix a chives and pork filling.

Everyone else in the Xiao family had already started drooling. 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. To be honest, everyone wrapped dumplings crookedly, all kinds of things, and it really had some New Year atmosphere.

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

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

Xiao Xiao Changqian was also incredibly moved deep in his heart. He also liked this feeling of harmony and joy very much.

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

Plus, his children were by his side, and they were living in such a good large 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.

He felt that life had reached its climax.

Old Mrs. Xiao led everyone to wrap many dumplings. Qian Qian Hongyan moved the induction cooker in the kitchen to the living room. Everyone simply watched 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 Xiao Hailong found a comedy movie by Stephen Chow, "Hail the Judge," and the family watched it with relish.

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

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

Xiao Xiao Changqian laughed, "Hurry and serve all the dumplings out, then boil the next batch. I'll go get some vinegar. Time to eat dumplings!"

Xiao Xiao Hailong and Xiao Xiao Weiwei also hurriedly gathered around.

After Qian Qian Hongyan scooped the dumplings out, Xiao Xiao Changqian also came with black vinegar.

So, the five members of the Xiao family ate the dumplings they wrapped themselves in harmony and joy.

Xiao Xiao Changqian was the fastest to start. Regardless of the fact that the dumplings were still very hot, he directly stuffed one into his mouth and muttered vaguely, "Oh my, this dumpling filling chopped by myself is really fragrant!"

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

Qian Qian Hongyan asked while eating, "Where did Ye Chen get such good chives? You can't buy such good chives at the vegetable market usually!"

Old Mrs. Xiao ate another one and sighed, "Ye Chen, this little rabbit, still has some skills. I misjudged him before. If I had known he had the ability to cheat and deceive, I would have kept him in the Xiao Group. Maybe he could have been of great use."

Xiao 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, stop talking about those. Hurry up and eat. There are many dumplings today. Everyone eat at least two bowls!" ===== CHAPTER 567 =====
