There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 571 The ever-changing little girl

 “Dad, have you eaten yet?”

Zheng Xinyue put her hands behind her back and looked at her father with a smile, waiting for him to speak. Her father didn't pay attention at all when she was making dumplings.

 “It tastes a bit like potato.”

Zheng Dakui smacked his mouth. The taste was very special, but he could still taste it as potatoes.

 “This is carrot stuffing.”

Gu Changfeng raised the dumplings in his hand. The dumplings were made of bacon and radish. They were delicious and fragrant.

“Try the stuffed potatoes again. The ones planted in my garden were just unearthed today. You are in for a treat.”

Zheng Xinyue had to wait for Gu Changfeng's praise before going to eat. Gu Changfeng gave her a funny look, picked up the potato dumplings in cooperation, and took a bite. He saw the little girl biting her lips impatiently, and he smiled on his lips. Yi Genggeng commented seriously: "The dumpling skin is chewy, the potato filling tastes crunchy, and paired with the flavor of bacon, it tastes unique and delicious."

He nodded as he spoke, and saw the corners of Xinyue's lips rising higher and higher, as proud as if she was about to fly, and she shook her head amusedly.

It feels like Xinyue is sometimes innocent like a child, sometimes sharp like a rose with thorns, sometimes wise, sometimes silly, ever-changing and he likes every aspect of her.

 “Try the scrambled eggs with soy sauce.”

Zheng Xinyue was elated by the praise, but she still didn't let Gu Changfeng go and moved a large plate of scrambled eggs in front of his eyes.

 “Xinyue, eat quickly and don’t disturb them drinking.”

Gao Guilan couldn't stand it anymore. The dumplings were almost cold. The girl only had eyes for Gu Changfeng. Could he be considered hungry?

Zheng Xinyue then honestly returned to the table and saw the five children sitting upright on the small bench with their palms behind their backs. Five pairs of big dark eyes looked at grandma eagerly, waiting for her to share the dumplings.

Li Xiuli was sitting properly before her mother-in-law said anything, looking at the fragrant dumplings, she, an adult, was drooling with greed.

 “One bowl per person.”

Gao Guilan started to distribute the dumplings with a straight face. Zheng Xinyue was relieved when she heard what her mother said. The children could eat a bowl of dumplings. She was worried that her mother would only give the children one or two to satisfy their cravings!

“I’m short of soy sauce and vinegar. I’ll have to buy some when I go to town next time, and then some sesame oil.”

Zheng Xinyue held her knees with her hands and muttered regretfully to herself. Gu Changfeng, who was sitting on the kang, listened and remembered it in his ears.

 After dinner, the women cleared the table and the men went to look at the beets in the fields.

Zheng Xinyue also wanted to follow her to the fields, but Gao Guilan stopped her: "What are you doing in the dark?"

Zheng Xinyue could only look at Gu Changfeng reluctantly. Looking at the beets was an excuse, and wanting to stay with him for a while was the real purpose.

After they left, Zheng Xinyue absent-mindedly taught the children new Chinese characters. After eating the delicious dumplings, the children were still unsatisfied and had to ask their aunt to teach them how to write dumplings.

Li Xiuli put away the dishes and chopsticks and walked into her sister-in-law's room as a habit. She comes here every night to help Xinyue ball up thread. When the thread is finished, she learns to knit woolen trousers from her and watches the children learn by the way.

 “Xinyue, you brought the good life at home.”

Li Xiuli sighed while knitting woolen pants. Thinking about the days when Xinyue came home before getting divorced, she couldn’t even tighten her belt to have enough to eat. Now she can eat dumplings even during the Chinese New Year? It was unimaginable before.

 “Sister-in-law, I am a lucky star!”

Zheng Xinyue stuck out her tongue naughtily. She didn't want to be modest, because she earned it herself.

 “I saw my aunt today.”

Li Xiuli suddenly whispered that according to her understanding of the aunt's family, if Li Xiuqin could not return to the Zheng family, she would end up very miserable.

 “Sister-in-law, what do you want to say?”
